A GOOD SUGGEsTIoN.-A writer in the London
Builder suggests that thick glass might be easily
and cheaply cemented to the walls of hospitals
etc. 1t would be non-absorbent, imperishable,
easily cleaned, readily repaired if damaged by
accident, and, unlike paper and paint, would be
good as at first. Glass can be cut or bent to
conform to any required shape. If desired, the
plates may be colored any cheerful tint The
non-absorbent quality is the most important for
hospitals and prisons, and we should think it
worthy the consideration of architects

The movement in the grain markets during
the week under review has been compare
lively light, and almost wholly on local specu-
lative account. There were but few orders
from the interior, and but little speculative
demand from other markets. As usual at
this seasoa there is but little shipping de-
mand, the absence of any shipping worth
mentioning being due now to the fact that
local speculation has forced prices above a
shipping margin prices being against ship
pers all round. The reports from Liverpool
and New York were without any very impor-
tant changes, but the governing influences
were generally of local speculative character.
The receipts of all kinds of grain were
lighter than during the preceding week. and
showed larger decrease when compared with
the same week last year. The shipments
were also lighter, the stock in store
showing an increase Of $50, 900 bu wheat,
156, 600 bu corn. 176, 900 bu oats. 5000 bu rye,
aud 5000 bu barley. There was but little
inquiry for flour, shippers holding off.
Spring wheat was moderately active, but
somewhat unsettled. Values at one time
were 10 to 1c lower, and again higher under
the manipulations Of spectators. The cur
rent quotations at the close however, were
about the same as at the opening. The corn
market is in rather peculiar condition. We
have 'corner" in old No. for this month";
and prices have advanced from 771c to 80c
and this figure was freely bid at the close. IL
is generally conceded that good many
"shorts" are still outstanding, and the
probability is that prices will rule higher this
week; that is, should the combination deem
it prudent to squeeze the mar
ket any further. New corn was weak,
both for present and also for future
delivery, the receipts being larger than had
been expected. The oat market was in the
same general condition as the corn trade-a
corner" for December being a feature Of
the trade. The general market was frmer
however, with light receipts and less desire to
force sales. Rye Was steady and firm through
out. Receipts light and demand good. Barley
was dull, and rather easy at times but closed
were the ruling prices at the opening and at
the close:

Mrs. Morton always did as she said,
however. She rubbed the preparation
generously throughout the sufferer 8
mouth, and, doing her face up III red
flannel, babe her stay indoors, on pain
of severe punishment, and left her to
her own reflections. -,
Noon came. Maggie had played with
her puppy to her hearts content, ana
was tired of him. So, with her nose
pressed flat against the window-pane,
she watched for her brothers. But they
came not. Two, three, four o'clock,
and still no Harry, no John. Poor
Maggie was almost beside herself with
anxiety by this time, and could not
help wondering at the calm demeanor
of her mother. But just as the sun
sank out of sight the front door
slammed, as it only can slam when boys
are about, and in rushed the absent
ones, full of boisterous mirth, and very
much stained about the mouth.
"Where have you been?" inquired
Maggie, wonderingly.
"Been!' replied Harry, dancing Wig
orously on one leg. "Why, over to
Mr. Gibson's, to be sure. The whole
school was invited. We went across in
boats he sent for us. tell you it was
jolly. Wasn't it, John?'
" 1t was that, replied John, throw
ing his hat in the corner and stretching
himself on the lounge. "But what was
the matter with you, Mag? All the
girls We're crazy to know why you
weren't there"
Maggie unfortunately received the
gift of fine pup, aud was Immediately
seized with severe toothache, replied
Mrs. Morton, gravely. "Mr. Clinton
had told me before of this holiday, and
l knew what my little girl lost by her
affection; but as she said she was un-
able to go let her stay at home"
Poor Maggie This was the unkind-
est cut of all. To know of such a
pleasure and keep her out of it! Her
lips quivered and her little form
trembled, and her brothers looked on
in silent pity.
"Your tooth is somewhat better, is
it not ?" inquired Mrs. Morton, calmly.
cts just like it always was" replied
the child, rising defantly to her feet.
=" 1t never ached lied, so l did -
Mrs. Morton was wise mother She
did not turn the child from her at this
critical moment, when rebellious ma
ture, smarting under disappointment,
confessed its misdeeds for spite's sake.
No, indeed. She tenderly passed her
arm about Maggie's waist, and drawing
her close to her, softly said:
Learn from this, my dear child,
that falsehood brings its own reward.
L love you. So do we all. But your
besetting sin has punished you Justly
to-day"
Maggie had the real, genuine tooth
ache about six months after this event,
but kept it all to herself for whole
day, like little heroine, and was only
betrayed when she burst into tears
from very pain.
81 knew it was real toothache, ma"
she said; "but it made nae feel so
'shamed to think of when L had it make
believe, that l kept still till it broke

The World on n Mock-Orange.

Now, my young friends, in case any
of you should come across nice round,
yellow mock orange, I'll tell you what
to do with it-provided your grand
mother already has good one in her
stocking basket. If not, you should
give it to her, and get yourself another
one. A canary bird told me that the
way old ladies darned stockings was to
put big yellow ball in them, and then
pick at them with q queer sort of
shiny steel bill and though his de-
scription wasn't clear, l knew what he
meant. Well, you take your round
mock orange, and force knitting
needle clear through it from the stem
end, so that it will turn evenly on the
needle. Then, with blunt needle,
you mark the grand divisions of the
earth upon it-Europe, Asia, Africa,
and America (you see / know them
in just the right shape, and then you
put in your oceans and islands, and
what not, all complete. Next you go
over all the markings with cancels
hair brush dipped in red ink, or violet
ink, or any water-color you choose,
taking care to wipe the orange off in
stantly with a soft, damp cloth. The
color will sink into the markings and
leave the surface of the mock orange
clean. Then you have your globe com
plete. And you can make little
prop, if you are ingenious, that will let
your globe revolve on its knitting
needle or axis, at precisely the right
angle. After while it gets dry and
hard, and if you please you can go over
the markings once more with fine pen
dipped in the proper color.
