au increase in imports of £1.470,000 and an increase in experts of £1,170.000 during the month as compared with April Ust year.A conference of the British iron trade was opened here yesterday.The speeches made and papers read dwelt on the serious competition which is being offered to the British iron trade from American and German sources.Sir A.Hickmau, representative iu Parliament for North Wolverhampton, who is himself an iron-master, presided over the conference.Iu the remarks which he ad-dressed to the meeting he urged that a reduction of one farthing a ton in the charge for the carriage of minerals would revolutionize the English trade.Another speaker thought that the chief reason for England\u2019s loss of trade was the great strikes and lockouts which have occurred in the iron trade of late years.Princess Helena, daughter of Queen Victoria and wife of Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, held a drawing-room on behalf of the Queen in Buckingham Palace this afternoon.The weather was fine.Among those present was Mrs.A.R.Conkliug, of New York, who wore a white satiu dress embroidered with pearls.Her ornaments were diamonds Mrs.P.Sanford, of Canada, and her daughter.Miss Muriel Sanford, wsre also presented.Mrs.Sanford wore a dress of shot pink and white satin with pearl orna menta.Miss Sanford wore a white satin dress with a lily of the valley

ill in Brussels, has recovered his health and resumed his work in Loudon.In the House of Commons to-day, Sir Ash-mead Bartlett, Conservative, asked if it were true, as alleged, that Mr.Cecil Rhodes had placed himself in the hands of the Govern-mint and offered to return to England to meit the charges which had been made against hisi of having instigated the raid of Dr.Jameson into the Transvaal.Mr.Chamber-lain replied :\u2014\u201cI have not addressed to nor hate I received from Mr, Rh* les any com manication whatever since he left this country.\u201d The Daily Mail asserts that Rutherford Harris, the Secretary in Cape Colony of the Chartered South African Company, has tendered his resignation.He was one of those implicated in the Jameson raid by the \u2018\u2022Transvaal Cryptogram.\u201d A Paris despatch to the S^aurfarcf s&ys th%t the Temps' Pretoria correspondent reports that papers are about to he submitted to the Transvaal Volksraad which contain an extract from the Euglish instructions to Jameson\u2019s troopers.Proofs exist, says the Temps\u2019 correspondent, that the Rhodesia Horse were ordered to be in readiness for the raid.AMERICAN.FHn.ADEi.rHiA, Pa., May 7\u2014Murderer Herman W.Mudget, alias H.H.Holmes, was hanged this morning, iu the County Prison, for the killing of Benjamin F.Pietzri.The drop fell at 10.12 o\u2019clock, and twenty minutes later he was pronounced dead by the prison officials, Dr.Sharpe and Dr.Butcher.He died as he had lived, uuconcerned and thoughtless apparently of the future.Even with the recollection still vividly before him of the confession he made of killing a score of persons of both sexes and in all parts of the country, lie refuted everything and his last words were poiut blank denials of any crimes committed, except the deaths of two women at his hands by malpractice.Of the murder of the several members of the Pietzel family he denied all complicity, particularly of the father, for whose death he stated he was suffering the penalty.Then, with the prayer of the spiritual attendants still sound ing in his ears and a few low spoken words to those about him, the trap was sprung and beyond a few incidental post mortem details, the execution which culminated oue of the worst criminal stories known to criminalogy was ended.Mixed f.-om du Loup.R.12.00 Mail from Halifax.1.30 Mail from

Liberal leaders.He thinks that Manitoba will return a Liberal majority and that the contest between Mr.Hugh John Macdonald and Mr.Joseph Martin, in Winnipeg, will be the hottest in the Dominion.The political excitement of the past week has been succeeded by a lull, but the Conservative organization iu the several divisions is being energetically proceeded with.Sir Charles Tupper, after his

childbirth should be fraught with danger is a perfectly natural function, and should be performed in a natural way without undue suffering.Nature never intended that women should be tortured when doing the one ] thing which makes them wholly wo- J manly.The perversion of nature\u2019s laws j has brought this suffering about, and a j return to right living will stop it.* Nine out of ten women are troubled j more or less by weakness and diseases peculiar to their sex.It is so because 1 they do not take proper care of them- I selves\u2014because they neglt».t little ills and little precautions.A woman in per- ! fectly hearty health goes through her* time of trial with comparative case.The 4 thing to do then, is to make all expee- j tant\u201dmothers healthy\u2014to strengthen, them generally and locally.The medi- ' fine and tonic to do it with is Doctor] Pierce\u2019s Favorite Prescription.It is a powerful invigorant and nervine.4 It soothes and strengthens the nerves mid acts directly on the feminine organism in : a way which fits it for the proper and regular porfoi mance of all its functions at all times.Taken during gestation it robs childbirth of its dangers to both mother and child, by preparing the system for delivery thereby shortening labor, lessening pain and abbreviating the period of confinement.A Book of loon pages, p iling how to cure diseases of

been payiug attention to Catharine Pcavoy, a daughter ofhisem ployer and a sister of his brother\u2019s wife for some time.Last night Richmond who is a neighbor, called and with the girl went for a walk to the Peavoy farm.While walking they met Woodyard and both spoke to him, bidding him good evening.This was the first time Richmond ever saw his assailant.Immediately after passing the couple, Woodyard turned round and deli berately stabbed Richmond with a jack knife, which he was carrying in his hand when passing.He inflicted seven wounds all of which are dangerous.One, three inches in length, is on the left cheek, five of different lengths are in the left side of the chest aud one in the abdomen ou the leftside below the ribs.Windsor, May 7\u2014City checks are being honored once

captured by the Boers at the time oiDr.Jamesou\u2019s raid in the Transvaal, which, it is claimed, show that Mr.Rhodes and other officials of the Company were concerned in the conspiracy to overthrow the Transvaal Government.The solicitor added:\u2014\"In view of the altered situation in Rhodesia, the Directors of the Company hesitate to accept your resignation.What is your view?\u201d On Wednesday Mr.Rhodes replied :\u2014\"Let the resignation wait.We fight the Matabeles again to-morrow.\u201d According to the Daily News the Directors met to-day and decided to defer their acceptance of Mr.Rhodes\u2019resignation.Previous to arriving at this decision the Directors conferred with Mr.Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary, who declined to advise Ahem as to the course they should pursue, but who in view of the debate on South African affiirs that will take place in the House of Commons to-morrow, desired to be furnished with a definite statement by the Directors of the

despatch from Pretoria, Capital of the Transvaal, saying that the wife of John Hays Hammond, the American member of the Johannesburg Reform Committee, who was sentenced to death, has had a long and

Mrs.Hammond had submitted and said he hoped the matter would be settled by the end of the week.The outlook now seems to be most hopeful.The prisoners, with a few exceptions, have signed detailed statements relative to the agitation.The despatch adds that Jonkherr Schack, Chairman of the First Volksraad, has received communication from Sir Hercules Robinson, British High Commissioner in South Africa, to the effect that Earl Grey, Administrator of the British South Africa Co., believes the M&tabele rebellion to be broken and had therefore requested him uot to send Imperial troops to Buluwayo and so increase the ditfi cully of providing supplies there.Sir Hercules added that British troops numbering 00 would remain at Mafeking, on the Transvaal frontier, pending the receipt of further orders.Mr.Hawksley, writing to the Duke of Abercorn, Chairman of the British South Africa Co., tendering the resignation of Mr.Rhodes, emphatically asserted that, the Company was free from any complicity in the disorders in the Transvaal or in Dr.Jameson\u2019s raid.He added that he was expressly au thorized by Dr.Jameson to announce the latter's wish to confirm this statement.ITALY.Rome,

infection that is meant ; but recent experim -nts show that they may carry physical contagion also.That a library book coining from a household where scarlet fever prevails may carry the disease to the family of the next reader, seems not only probable, but, in some cases, almost inevitable.In some places efforts have been made to prevent such infection, and in time of epidemics systematic disinfection has been lesorted to by libraries ; but the general attitude of librarians has been and is that thé danger is so remote that it need not be re garded at all.The matter has been growing in interest, however, and some experimenters abroad have thought it worth while to get direct evidence on the subject.A series of experiments, carried on with this purpose by Cazal and Catrin iu France, is described by them in the Annales de l'Institut Pasteur.We quote parts of an abstract of their paper that appears iu Modern Medicine, March.The aim of the investigation, we are told, was to answer the following questions : \u201c1.Are books carriers of microbes, and especially of pathogenic [disease producing] microbes?\"2.Can a book soiled by infectious liquids from a patient suffering from a coutagious malady transmit the disease ?\"3.Is there a practical means by which books mar be easily and completely disinfected ?\u2022\u2018The conclusion reached as the result of numerous experiments in relation to each of these questions were as follows : \"1.That books, even when absolutely new, are not aseptic, but that they do not firesent pathogenic microbes, the latter being ouud, however, iu old books.A curious fact noted is that an old book which had been used a long time by the patients of a great hospital, when examined, showed only a single pathogenic microbe.\"2.In experiments relating to the communication of infectious diseases through the medium of books, positive results were obtained for the streptococcus, the pneumococcus,'and the diphtheria bacillus, but the resells were negative for tuberculosis and typhoid fever.\u201c3.It was found that unbound books could be completely disinfected by exposure to dry heat, but bound books could not be thus dis infected without injury.For this reason it was advised that only unbound books aud papers should be used in hospitals.\u201d The Paris Figaro tells an amusing story about the recent visit of President Kanre to the old Homan town of Arles.M.Faure wished lo go over the hospital, in order to show his interest in the beneficent works of the town.It happened there were hardly any patients there at the time, ami the Municipal Council, thinking it too bad that the President should walk through the wards of empty beds, made an appeal for temporary invalids.They found as many as they wanted, and paid them to keep in be l for the day.Now the worthy magistrates of the Arles have an opportunity for boasting that the President\u2019s visit cured all the sick of the lowu.WHAT MAN IS MADE OF.A FORTUNE IN IIIMcBLF IF HE COULD ONLY GET AT IT.Although One Cannot Realize This Particular Asset the Value is There All the Same\u2014 The Constituents of the Body Vividly Illustrated.Every man without a penny is worth thousands of dollars.Every individual has an intrinsic value, and this is based on the amount of calcium iu the system.The worst feature of this is that the contents of the system is not worth a penny to a person until after he is dead.Still the value exists.Calcium is a metal that enters largely into the composition of the bones.The skeleton of the ordinary adult contains four pounds.The difficulty is to separate it from the elements with which it is combined in nature.The expense of tho necessary processes is what makes it cost so much.The body of the average man or woman contains three aud a half ounces of brimstone, otherwise known as sulphur, which helps to compose the bones and the teeth.It is an interesting fact that no less than four of the substances known to make up the human body will take fire by spontaneous combustion.Twenty four ounces of phosphorus are contained in the sk leton of the average human being.The system of the average adult in life contains a little less than two ounces of magnesium, another rare metal, which photographers use in a powdered state for their flash-light pictures.It is a substance of silvery whiteness and is so readily and fiercely combustible that it has to bo kept tightly corked in bottles to prevent it from igniting of its own accord.Ol sodium and potassium, also, the body holds something more than five ounces, nearly equally divided.The primary elements of which a man is composed are oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, chlorine, fijorine, phosphorus, sulphur, iron, calcium, maguubidm, sodium and potassium.Tnere- are ninety-seven pounds of oxygen in a person who weighs 154 pounds, and this amount of that gis would take up, under ordinary atmospheric pressure, the space of a room 10 feet long, 10 feet wide and 10 feet high ; in the hum in body it is aoniawhat condeused, you set.In the corpus of the same man there are fifteen pounds of hydrogen, which, under the same conditions, would occupy somewhat more than two such rooms as that described.Besides the man must have three pounds and thirteen ounces of nitrogen, nearly all of which is combined with certain other elements to make his flesh.The amount of carbon that enters into his physical economy may be represented by coal, but more accurately by a diamond of one-foot cube.The diamond is absolutely pure carbon.The body of the average man contains four ounces of chlorine and three and a half ounces of fluorine.The chloriue is almost ail in the shape of common salt, while the fluorine enters into the composition of the bones.Tne iron in the body might be represented by one-tenth ot an ounce of steel wire, which is a particularly pure form of that metal.Iron, of course, is the most important constituent of the red coloring matter of the blood ; also it enters into the bones and other parts.A person wjio weighs 154 pounds con-taius forty-six quarts, or ninety six pounds of water.If the water in the body is to be represented by a jar containing ninety-six pounds of tb&t element, another jar oonsiderably smaller, containing thirteen pouuds of white of egg, would exhibit the amount of album! nous substance included iu the make up of the man or woman of 154 pounds.To these would have to be added a third jar filled with nearly ten pounds of pure glue.Were it not for this glue it would be impossible to keep body and soul together.Everybody knows that there is lots of glue in the bones.Add to these twenty-ihree pounds of fats, some of which are of peculiar kinds, aud eight and one-quarter pounds of phosphate of lime This phosphate of lime is a pure white substance, and makes the chief constituent of the bones.Chalk and marble are almost pure carbonate of lime, but phosphate of lime is nowhere found in anything like a pure state save in the bones of animals.Phosphate goes with the lime to form phosphate of lime ; carbon does the same to make carbinate of lime; fluorine enters in with the carbon to form car bon fluoride, and in that sort of way the different chemical elements mingle in the body.Add to the elements already mentioned eight ounces of sugar and starch, seven ounces of fluoride of calcium, six ounces of phosphate of tnagucsia, a trifle of chloride ot potassium, and just a little ordinary table salt, you have the complete physical make-up of a man.Such an individual requires for his support _ daily income of 24 ounces of nutritive substances, 71 ounces water and 39 ounces of oxygen.The nutritives include albumen, fat, sugar and starch.Albumen makes blood, muscle and skin ; fat and sugar are consumad as fuel to keep the body warm.Training: of Greek Boys.Greek boys began to be trained in bodily exercise at a very early age, often at 10 years, The problem was uot merely to develo; strength and health, but to secure grace am beauty, perfect beauty being thought the outer expression of perfect strength.It was this passion for the beautiful in every phase of Greek life which made its sculpture aud architecture the noblest the worl l has seen But the thought had a still deeper root.The Greek assumed that it was only in the perfect and symmetrical body that the well balanced mind could dwell ; so physical cul lure held a foremost place in the plan of education, and the daily toils of the palestra or wrestling field, and the gymnasium were a part of the life of the growing lad, and a part not to be shirked.The part taken by hoys in the Olympic games shows how deeply this festival had taken root in Greek thought and life.\u2014G.T.Ferris in St.Nicholas.\"It

animals to swallow them.The Macaranga capsules, covered with a viscid gmn most unpleasant to the mouth, the hot Capsicnms.the drupes of the palm Kenlia Ma carthurl, the berries of the wild grapes, which have a most irritating effect on the mouth and the poisonous fruits of .9a/ium are all highly popular with birds, and even the fruit of Strychno» Tieute Bl., with its intensely bitter pulp, is eaten by civet cats.A large number of the wild fruits, too, tho very astringent, are often eaten by birds or animals.\u201d Sweeney\u2019s Famous Hotel To Go.(Boston Pilot.) With the sale under foreclosure of Sweeney\u2019s Hotel, tho Astor House will be left as the sole survivor of the famous downtown hostelries about which so much that it picturesque or important io the history of lower New \\ ork City has centred for two generations, says the Mail and Express of recent date.A year ago the old Metropolitan Hotel, with the adjoining Niblo\u2019a Garden, on Broadway, was dismantled and razed to the ground.Now Sweeney\u2019s follows the march of destruction that is leaving no ancient landmarks undisturbed.The International Hotel, Lore-joy\u2019s Hotel and French\u2019s Hotel, one after an .other have been routed ont of their retreats in Park Row.Sweeney\u2019s is the last of the Park Row quartet aud it was the mutt famous.In its day Sweeney\u2019s enjoyed a national reputation.Among Roman Catholics it was ong the favorite New York hoetelry.It came to be known as the monastery.Whenever a national convention of the Catholic Church was held in the metropolis, the hotel was headquarters for its dignitaries.It has housed more than one Cardinal, scores of great prelates and any number of less important officials.The name of Cardinal McCloskey, among others, is entered on its rolls.For some litre women were not admitted as guests.This assisted in making Sweeney's desirable stopping place for priests and gave an added flavor of monasticism to its corridors.Sweeney\u2019s Hotel was established in Chatham street, now Park Row, by Daniel Sweeney, more than half a century ago.It is a six story buff brick building, fronting on Duane street and Park Row.It contains about 300 rooms.Old Daniel Sweeney had un a very successful restaurant in Ann street, near Nassau, in a little shop adjoining a disused engine house.It was known as a six-cent house, that price being charged for each item on the bill of fare.The restaurant was patronized by journalists and basinets men.Horace Greeley, the elder Bennett and P.T.Barnum have sat at its little tables and the inexpensive but attractive cuisine became famous.His patrons followed Sweeney when he opened his big hotel in Chatham street.The hotel then included the.corner building at Doane and Park Row, now known as the Hall Hotel.Sweeney owned the land fronting on either side of this property and leased the rest.He used the ground floor for his restaurant, which had a reputation in the war times.About fifteen years ago rents on the leased portion were raised to what the proprietor regarded as an exorbitant figure, and he threw it over.Alderman George Hall then secured it, and catered with some success to the downtown politicians.There was a protracted boundary line dispute, aud Sweeney put up a tall fence in the court-yard between the two hostelries, practically shutting off all light from the rear windows of his rival.The case was carried to the courts, where Sweeney triumphed.With the liberation of the Fenians who had been condemued to life imprisonment, Sweeney\u2019s became practically the headquarters of the militant Irishmen.This was in the later sixties, and among the notables who made the hotel their home were O\u2019Donovan Rossa, James Stephens and John Mit-chel.John Meehan, an old Park Row restaurateur of Dolan ft Nephew's, said to a Mail and Express reporter : \"For months the vicinity of the hotel seemed to be the scene of a riot.Irishmen from all over the country came to see the liberated heroes, and their delegations filled the street aud crowded the corridors.Bands played, and the green fluttered indoors and out.\u201d As Park Row lost its character, Sweeney\u2019s decayed.The elevated road came in and brought with it the lodging houses.There was an invasion of immigrants from Southern Europe and the confines of Russia.The Irishman was ronted from his favorite wards, and the American was pushed beyond Broadway.When Daniel Sweeney died about ten years ago, however, he left the property without incumbrance.His sons conducted a losing fight against their changed environment.A few of the old patrons still clung to the place.Until a year or so ago several Wall street brokers lived there with their families, and leather merchants who did business in the swamp made it their home.Nearly three years ago it was offered at auction, in partition sale, but the price obtainable was not tisfactory, and it was bought in by the family.Daniel Sweeney was a type of the \u2018\u2018fine old Irish gentleman.\u201d His portrait, which hangs iu the sitting room of his family in the hotel, shows a hale face, with bright eyes and a fall habit.Patriok Dolan was in hi* employ forty years ago, and ever since then \"Coffee Pat\u201d has held him up as the king of American restaurateurs.He is responsible for many of the ideas that obtain to-day in the conduct of New York eating places.His wife had charge of the kitchen and she was s> redoubtable housekeeper.The Sweeney bar was a city institution.An influential New Yorker visited the caf4s of the hotels nearly forty years ago and obtained samples of their whiskies.These he hal analyzed, and Sweeney\u2019s, he de dared, were found to be the purest.Old Daniel Sweeney used to point out for his guests the spot iu the court of hie hostelry as the exact place where Nathan Hale was executed as a spy, by the British.Mr.Sweeney was a most methodical man,\u201d said John Meehan.\u201cHe weighed every pound of food that came into his house, even when it was purchased of a friend.Every Sunday moruing the same hour would find him in his pew in old St.Peter\u2019s, Barclay street.One of his original ideas was to appiopriate the hat of a guest of his restaurant who would not pay his bill.\u201d The hotel preserves still a certain air of old-time elegance.The flagging of the wide corridors is scrupulously clean, the ceilings are lofty ami the furniture is comfortable, though the fashion is of another day.How the Quarrel Began.\"I dreamed last night,\u201d said Dick, \"that I went out in the woods and found & barrel full of gold.\u201d \"That was bully !\u201d exclaimed Johnny.\"You gave me a whole lot of it, didn\u2019t you ?\u201d \"Course not.I bought the bang uppest bicycle you ever saw with part of it and spent the rest for candy.\u201d \"I wouldn't be as stingy as you are,\" said Johnny, \"not for $1,000,000.\u201d\u2014Chicago
