The Sundny DInuer.

From the Golden RnIe.
There is a fine, though often uncon.
scious, sense OF the fitness ofthings in the
prevalent household custom Of having the
best dinner Of the week on Sunday. By
a little wise provision, much Of 1t can. be
prepared on the day before, and the actual
work in cooking has no more than Is usual
and necessary, and il the lady or daugh.

evening lunch themselves, the faithful
helps In the kitchen a have the latter
part OF the day TO MISUNDERSTANDING
the custom Of a "good Sunday dinner" Of
the objection that 1t makes somebody do
too much work.
Among the reasons for, in some manner,
SIGNALLING this meal, we should name,
first its influence upon the moods OF the
family. The members are commonly all
together-in many cases for the only time
during the week. Business in cities de-
tains the fatherin town. School or other
occupation keeps the children from dining
with the family. But on Sunday they are
all present, and the most should be made

by long fasting, or hasty stuilng, or
by fret and worry, as it Is too apt TO be on
other days. The food may be tasted, en-.
joyed and seasoned with that best sauce, al.

Is natural to the heart In It's calm aud

probation OF the truth which Jesus spake:
"Your heavenly Father knoweth that We
have need OF all these things"
There are many little customs adopted
in families that think the art Of living well
not beneath their study, which give an
additional charm to the Sunday dinner,
The first fruits Of the year are always
brought forward on that occasion. We
quite appreciate the sentiment Of that ex.
and successful home-maker, who
insists on having strawberries, green peas
and all other good things in their season,
make their first appearance at the family

a merry twinkle in his eye, "that would

sometimes Worth b Atlentiono Of House
Keepers,

AANNRUARs
A reporter Of the Chicago Tribune has
been cleaning some information Of value
TO house keepers, with regard to print
rags. Six months ago they were down at
81 40 per 100 pounds. Gradually they
rose,to 81 10. then g, then g 124, and
then to s. 20, and dealers are now paying
that and 81 for good country rags-the
higher figure for the better quality. The
mills are buying at an advance even on
those figures, and one dealer was sure,
that he couldn't get all the ragsh he wanted,
and it might be true that people boarded
them because they couldn't get q decent
price for them. Another reason for the
scarcity, possibly, was the fact that the
country roads had been so bad as to make
il difficult to collect the rags and get them
to market. In conclusion, the rag mer-
chant said that nothing would give him
greater pleasure than to'baye people save
their rags and bring them down to him,
as he wanted all he could get to send on
to the mill which took his business.
The reporter called OF two or three
other dealers, but what they had TO say
only confirmed what the reader has already
learned, viz: that the visible supply" OF
rags was indeed scarce, but that back oil
that was the hidden supply in private
houses, which the fair prices were sure to
bring on the market, though Ii the market
should once become flooded, those prices
were sure to take a drop.
The chief value OF the above informa-
ton Is, that 1t puts housekeepers in the
way OF making a little money, for, for
those rags which they have hitherto failed
TO save, or have sacrificed 10 peddlers for
q mere trifle, they can now get a respecta.
BILE sum, But the reader must not imag-
inc that the unquestioned rise in rags
has had any special effect In causing
the tremendous increase in the price
OF print.paper which Is used by news.
papers. That is mainly made o.
straw, Eastwood, or similar stock, a small
percentage only OF rag stock being used
with 1t. The chief use OF the rags Is FOL
the manufacture Of letter and heavy book
paper. 1t is claimed that in some mills q
per cent OF rag pulp is used. On an aver
age, however, what with the present i'm
proved process, 1t is not likely that more
than 10 per cent, II that amount, is en-
ployed. It will be seen, therefore. thai
even II the price Of rags is doubled thai
amounts to doubling the cost OF merely
one.tenth OF the papermakers' materials
and is no justification for the enormous
advance which the ring have made, tc
which they will probably add q cent or &C
more at their meeting next month, provid
ing the duty on foreign paper is not re
pealed by that time.

the ralu OF tne + rec Traders on the steel
rail duty will affect not only the rail mills
but the ore banks, the coke makers, the
blast furnaces, and less directly many
other interests. The advance in rails from
$40 a year ago to $50 now, does not inure
10 the benefit OF the rail manufacturers
alone, as can easily be seen by the compa-
ratiye prices OF arti Giles used in the pro-
duction OF rails. Bessemer pig iron was
plenty one year ago ut from SIS in the
east TO $50 in the west per ton; similar iron
now costs IS to $50 per ton, and not q Bes:
semer rail mill in this country can afford
to buy pig iron at $50 per ton and sell rails
made from 1t at $50. Republic iron ore,
which sold at Cleveland in 1878 at So per
ton, is now held atSl25 so per ton. Coke for
the manufacture OF iron, which sold in the
Connellsvile coke region one year ago at
90 cents per ton at the ovens, now sells at
s. to IS go per ton, and there Is q strong
prospect Of the price being advanced to

MARKET reporters generally unite insay-
ing the speculation in wheat cannot be ex.
pected to abate, as long as the statistical
position continues as strong asftis, and
the demand for export remains at the
present prices. The exports last week
we're but little below those OF the week
following the break in prices, and the mar
ket, though irregular, has shown no signs
Of a disposition on the part oil strong hold
ers to abandon their position. The Pro.
duee Exchange Weeklyof last Friday pub
lished statements showing the different
estimates OF the quantity required for the
United Kingdom during the crop year,
which varied from 129, $50, 900 bushels, the
estimate Of the London Times, to 1885,
900, the estimate Of Mr.. ]. B. Lawes,
and the average OF all the estimates,
viz: l4O,S72,OOO is taken as the basis
The further requirements Of Great Britain
are placed at 49, 5G,9l2 to 79,220,9l2
bushels; those Of France at 100000
bushels; Belgium and Holland 100000,
Spain and Portugal 100000, Italy $780,
900 and Switzerland 2,00O,O 900 bushels; in
all, 100, 756, 9l2 to lS9,22O,9l9 bushels yet
to be supplied from the list of February to
the close of the crop year. The .Adrance
says that these estimates are relatively
larger than those made some time ago,
but no reason appears for distfhsting the
conclusion Of the statisticiau OF the Pro-
duce Exchange that about 75,OO0,oo0
bushels Of wheat, flour included, will still
DO required from the United States and
Canada by Europe. 1.-THE estimates of
the available surplus, which were made
early in the season by the same authority,
are fully sustained, the estimated further
demand from Europe will fully equal the
entire remaining surplus available for ex.
