GENERAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. uncOmfOrta-
bly, hot day this has been, and the mercury
marks this evening $50 degrees in our office.
There is but very little animation in business.
, Owing to the want Of freight room, foreign
buyers of Cotton were not In the market to-
day; consequently the sales footed up only
425 bales, all for Northern consumption.
In comparison with our last weeks quota
taions, prices of Flour are lower to sell. The
movement to-day was small, and the general
tone of the market is easier. The sales re-
ported include 500 barrels on Saturday for
Havana.
Toward the close the feeling in Corn Meal
was firmer and the demand moderate.
Though Chicago advices report slight ad-
vance in Pork in that market, here it is lower
to sell.
There is a scarcity of Dry Salt Shoulders In
this market, for which there is fair demand
at steady to strong prices.
OF Bacon there is small supply. and the
demand is light. Buyers and sellers are at
variance as to prices, consequently there were
no Quotable sales of that article to-day.
There is small supply of Corn on the mar
ket, and the market is quiet and firm.
The demand for Hams is extremely dull,
but we hear of an offer of 1910 refused on q
round lot of choice small sugar-cured for ex-
port.
COTTON-The demand is chiefly from
Northern buyers, consequently the movement
is small and confined to only 425 bales at firm
prices. Foreign buyers are out of the market
in consequence of their inability to obtain
freight room.

Fertilizer for Flowers.

A Baltimore florist sends to the Jour
nal of Chemistry a receipt for liquid
manure, which he has found highly val
liable in his business: ''Put one bushel
of the clippings from horses heofs into
barrel, and fill it up with water. Let
it stand a week, when it is ready for
use. Apply it with watering pot. All
bedding plants can be watered with this
liquid every other day if they are pot
bound newly repotted plants should
be watered once a week until they have
plenty of working roots to take up the
manure. 1t will also be found excellent
for hard wooded plants, if used once or
twice a week. Two or three weeks at
ter the plants have been watered with
the manure the foliage generally changes
from green to a golden yellow, moving
from the stem down to the point of the
leaf, which, however, lasts only for a
few weeks, when it changes to dark,
glossy green. Plants under this water
ing grow very large and bright in color.
Plants thus treated can be kept in very
snail pots for long time without being
transplanted. This is especially adj
vantageous to the market gardener,
who can sell his plants in three and
four inch pots, while he would have to
shift them into five and six inch if he
used rich soil alone. Flowers watered
with this liquid manure will bring
twenty-five per cent. more than other
wise; besides, being in small pots, they
are lighter, can be packed closer, and
are easier handled. The fertilizer is
not stimulant but plant food, and
plants watered with it, if planted out,
will continue growing and keep in good
growth, which cannot be said of guano.
1t is as powerful as guano, as quick in
action, and more lasting.
cit will not do the slightest harm to
the foliage; most other liquid manures

The Mother.

What blessing in a household is a
merry cheerful woman !-one whose
spirits are not affected by wet days, OF
little disappointments, or whose milk
of human kindness does not soul in the
sunshine of prosperity. Such woman
in the darkest hours, brightens the
house like little piece of sunshiny
weather. The magnetism of her smiles
and the electrical brightness of her
looks and movements infect every one.
The children go to school with a sense
of something great to be achieved her
husband goes into the world in con-
queror's spirit. No matter how people
annoy and worry him all day, far of
her presence shines, and he whispers to
himself, "At home 1 shall find rest.r
So day by day she literally renews his
strength and energy; and if you know
a man with a beaming face, kind
heart and prosperous business in nine
cases out of ten you will find he has a
wife of this kind.-HOme Journal.

It Don't Pay.

1t don't pay to have fifty worklngmen
poor and ragged in order to have one
saloon keeper dressed in broadcloth,
and flush of money.
1t don't pay to have these fifty work
ingmen live on bone soup and half ra-
tiOns, in order that the saloon keeper
may flourish on roast turkey and cham
payne.
It don't pay to have the mothers and
children of twenty families dressed in
rags and starved into the semblance of
emaciated scarecrows and living in
novels in order that the saloon-keeper's
wife may dress in satin, and her chill
dren grow fat and hearty, and live in
bay window parlor.
1t don't pay to have one citizen in the
county Jail because another citizen sold
him liquor.
1t don't pay to have ten smart, active
and intelligent boys transformed into
hoodlums and thieves, to enable one
man to lead an easy life by selling them
| liquor.
1t don't pay to give one man, for S15
a quarter, license to sell liquor, and
then spend $4,000 on the trial of Tim
Mclaughlin for buying that liquor and
then committing murder under its intlu-
ence.
1t don't pay to have one thousand
homes blasted, ruined, defiled and turn
ed into bells of disorder and misery i'll
order that one wholesale liquor dealer
may amass a large fortune.
1t don't pay to keep six thousand men
in the penitentiaries and hospitals, and
one thousand in the lunatic asylum at
the expense of the honest, industrious
tax payers, in order that few rich
capitalists may grow richer by the man
ufacture of whiskey.
1t never pays to do wrong; your sin
will find you out whether others find
it out or not, the sin knows where you
are and will always keep you posted of
the fact-it don't pay.
A salOon-keeper sold a drinking man
one pint of new rum, making fifteen
cents clear profit. The man under the
influence of that pint of rum killed his
son-in-law; and his apprehension, con-

the county more than one thousand
dOllars-which temperate men had to
earn by the sweat of their brows. 1t
don't pay.
The loss sustained by society, moral
ly and financially, the sorrow and the
suffering, the misery and restitution
produced and augmented, and what is
infinitely a greater consideration than
all else, the destruction of soul and
body, the inevitable result of using or
trafficking in Intoxicating liquOrs-these
all attest the truthfulness of the verdict

fly catcher, or an ornament for the bed
room candlestick, or some coarse net
ting for cabbage-nets, or some spills for
lighting candles. And let him see that
you value his work, by using it. Moth
ing damps child's pleasure more, after
he has completed some wonderful fab
rication, which is to accomplish marvels
in the domestic department, than to
see it laid aside as useless, or smiled at
superciliously. Use it, if it be possible !;
or, still better, assist him in making
more perfect one. 1t always seems
more difficult to amuse boys than girls,
because it is thought effeminate to IN
struct them in many things with Wnlch
girls are acquainted. This we believe
to be grand mistake. We knew
family where all the childen, both boys
and girls, were taught knitting and net
ting No one was allowed to make
their marble-bags for them, and GER
tainly marvellous and gorgeous In the
extreme were the colOrs they selected
still, they were more priced by them
than any fabrication that could be pur-
chased, besides encouraging taste for
industry and love for domestic life.
Our readers may smile, but this is fact.
The boys hailed the winter evenings
with pleasure, when they kept time
with their busy fingers to the narration
of some startling adventure, or school
exploit, and far from becoming 'femi-
nized," grew up domesticated in their
tastes, and unlike the shiftless creatures
men usually are in the items of buttons
and strings. Always accept the home,
manufactures of your boys, if urged
upon you. There is inherent in all boy
nature chivalrous and knightly feeling,
which they love to crafty, and by all
means encourage this when possible.
Many happy hour will be passed by
your little son, if he knows that the
rough piece of wood which he is so
deliberately carving into some mythical
and extinct animal will be accepted
with a smile and treasured with love.

E Diphtheria, usually spoken of as
a modern disease, is thought by Dr. +.
r, Maxon to have been known in Egypt
more than 1000 years ago. In an article
in the Boston Journal of Chemistry,
DR.. Maxon mentions this superstition
with approval. He gives as the histo-
nv of the disease, that it extended
through Asia Minor and Egypt for 500
wears, and about 1900 years ago found
its way into the south of Europe, where
it received the name which it has since
retained. So it is not even an old dis
ease with a new name, like many 9th
ers. 1t appeared first in Rome in the
wear $50. In Holland it ragged as an
epidemic in 1887. 1t appeared in Paris
in 1876, and showed itself in America in
I77I. In 1918 and in 1885 it was prev
alent in France. About the year 1856,
the disease was voted as an epidemic in
England and the United States, and
was for four years or more a terror. 1t
still exists, though not to the extent
which caused alarm few years ago.
DR.. Maxon regards diphtheria as a re-
mote modification of the plague. The
name given to the disease signifies a
skin or membrane. The first accurate
description of diphtheria and its symp-
toms (nOw unhappily familiar) was
published in France in 1918, by M.
Bretonneau of Tours. in which city it
ragged as an epidemic.

p Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, the ed
itor of st. Nicholas, who is now taking
short holiday in California, was re-
Gently given peculiar, but most de-
lightful surprise. Early one afternoon,
small army of children all loaded with
flowers, made its appearance in front
of the house on Pacific avenue, San
Francisco, where Mrs. Dodge is visit
ing. Each boy and girl,-and there
were youngsters of all ages from six to
fifteen,-bore a tall Gala stalk, the
white cup holding a red cactus blossom,
and each carried besides basket of
flowers or a bouquet, with a card on
which was written the name of the Civ
er. There were also simple but appro
pirate banners. Marshalled by the la
dies who managed the affair, the chill
dren filed into the house where Mrs.
Dodge, who had known nothing of the
pleasure and honor awaiting her, was
quickly surrounded by the crowd of
happy boys and girls, who, with hearty
cheers for Mrs. Dodge and st. Nicho-
las. pressed forward and presented
their floral offerings.
