The MONEY PRESSURE. - The San
Francisco Republican Of the 18th gives
some reasons for the decline in stocks,
which will be read with interest here,
and those who are wise will invest their
loose change in stocks:
The tremendous pressure for money to
meet the payment of taxes and assess
ments, which must be paid within
twenty days, is telling with terrific effect
on the stock market. The depreciation
in the prices during the past month have
averaged more than 81, 1000, 900 . day.
The full extent OF the depreciation prob
ably exceeds $50,000,O00. This is an
immense loss, even though most OF it be
"figuratiye.' Somebody has to shoulder
the difference between the prices ruling
to-day and those that ruled month ago
OF course those who are carrying the
most have lost the most, and this is just
why the market cannot rise. The par
ties who control the market are hemmet
in between the pressure for money ant
the fall in stocks, which deprives then
of collaterals on which to raise funds
Until outsiders enter the market will
fresh money, the market must 60 down
But when the reaction does set in it will
! make some mems fortunes.

What j. understood as minority repre-
sentasion has engaged public attention
for q year or two, and under the new
Constitution Of Illinois tie system was
engraf,ed upon the organic law of that
State. At the late election members OF
the Legislature were chosen according to
the new plan, and it is claimed to work
to the entire satisfaction Of the people
generally. The Chicago Tribune shows
its working in the following article: l-
The first trial Of the system of minori-
! ty representation, as applied to the cleo.
ton Of Representatives in the General
Assembly, took place at our recent State
election. The results are before us. In
round numbers, the strength OF the ma

was in the proportion of ass, 900 to 2oO,-,
600. The whole number of Senators is

style, the Republicans have SO and the
Liberals Is, when had they been chosen
under the system of giving the minority
their proportionate number, the Repub-
icans would have had % and the Llber-

would have elected SO Representatives,

their proportionate votes. The primary

Alhakem, the sage, whom all people
honored for his great wisdom and his
many virtues, sat in the market place
giving instruction. A youth named
Seyd, who had recently inherited vast
wealth, passed that way. and shared
with the old teacher the attention of
the multitude.
"See," cried Seyd, chow my good
fortune has lifted me up in a day to
claim public attention which Alba
ken has been long years in gaining"
And he smiled proudly as he spoke.
Alhakem had heard his words, and
motioned for him to draw near
"My son." said the sage, "let me
speak unto thee fable. Once upon a
time gourd wound itself around lofty
palm, and in few weeks climbed to its

" How old mayest thou be?' inquired
the gourd.

Home Amusement.

Many very pretty little chemical ca
periments may be made by the young
people, which will amuse and a,tonish
those around them. AS for instance,
with so simple an article as red cabbage,
very beautiful effect can be rendered
in the following manner: Cut three
leaves of cabbage into small pieces, and
after placing them in basin, pour n
pint of boiling water over them, letting
them stand an hour; then pour off the
liquid into a decanter, 1t will be of q
fine blue color. Then take four wine
glasses; into one put six drops of strong
vinegar; into another six drops of solu-
ton of soda; into third the same
quantity of strong solution of alum;
and let the fourth glass remain empty.
Fill up the glasses from the decanter,
and the liquid poured into the glass
containing the acid will quickly become
a beautiful red; that in the glass con
tanning the soda will be fine green;
that poured into the empty one will re-
main unchanged.
BY adding a little vinegar to the
green, it will Immediately change to
red; and on adding little of solution
of soda to the red it will assume a fine
green; thus showing the action of acids
and alkalis on vegetable hues.

Biz Farm.

A small party of us left the little
town of Loda. on the Illinois Central
railroad, this morning, and, after a
pleasant drive of three hours over a
prairie road, passing thousands upon
thousands of acres of corn ready .or
the harvest, we entered upon the out
skirts of this immense estate OF forty
thousand acres, which is forty miles in
circumference. To an Eastern man,
whose acres are counted by the hun
bred, and often less than that, the farm
seems almost too large for conception.
In driving toward the residence of the
proprietor, we pass upon our right and
left through eight miles of corn field
containing seventeen thousand acres.
Indeed, the sight becomes wearlsome.
We drive on through beautiful mead
ows of red clover, pass the residence OF
Mr.. M. f. Sullivant, the proprietor, and
q large number of outbuildings, and
enter Burr Grove" to the west, where
we were soon joined by Mr.. Sullivant
in person, very genial and companion
able man, who gave pleasant account
of his emigration from Ohio and settle
ment upon this farm.
In 1871, 5000 acres were planted with
corn; this year 1900. From this farm
he sends daily to Gibson Station, on
the Gilman and Springfield railroad
5000 bushels OF shelled corn to com
plete shipment las we understood) Of
some 100000 bushels. About 700 head
of stock are upon the place, ana 25(
hands are employed in all the depart
ments; $50 miles Of Usage hedge adorr
this goodly domain, and the number OF
miles is onstantly increasing.-Cor
