Mr.. W. 4. Morris. a SeE York spice
broker, 10 n reporter. There are as
many fluctuations aud as much specu-
lation IN spices a. there are in cssIee or
stocks. Our trade changes with the
season as much as any other aud at the
present time cloves are weak. There is
always a heavy demand for cloves
during the winter theatrical season, a.
that spice goes far in making q play
enjoyable. There were during the past
year received at this port I,l70, 0,G97

Oldes, City in the United States.

Nearly soven thousa nd feet above the
level Of the sea stands Santa Fe, the
oldest city in the United States. It's
history is the history OF New Mexico.

and populous, for history tells us that

their escort somewhore in the valley on
the Rio Grande, attempted to visit
Santa Fe, but was driven back by 40.-
600 Indians. In 1898, however,
tho Spauiards succeeded in making a
permanent settlement there. They built
churches, converts, the governors pal
ace, homes and fortlfcAtions. Many OF
these same buildings are still standing.
and are used for the purposes for which
they we're built. For over one hundred
years they held the place, under
going changing fortunes, as the In.
dams we're friendly or hostile, their
crops failure or q success. But during
these hundred years tho SpaniArds had,
throughout the Territory, taken pos.
session OF the mines, forced the Indians
10 hard labor, taken them from their
homes and reduced them 10 slavery. In
1880 the Indians revolted, and drove
the Spaniards out Of Santa Fe aud
New Mexico, and remained master Of
the country for twelve years. They
had become 80 embittered toward the
spaniards that they destroyed every
, thing that could be destroyed In Santa
Fe, particularly whatever reminded
them in any way OF their hated
masters. In 1892 the Spaniards re-
turned TO New Mexico, and company
under De Vargas Ponce Dc Leon, after
desperate battle, took mp position
on the heights near Santa Fe, remained
there some months, and then moved
into the city, although strOngly OPP

Work does not wear either men or
women 10 much as worry.

nit it he always gets angry.
Prosperity IL not just scale; adyersity
is the only balance 10 try friends.
The reproaches of enemies shouId
quicken us TO duty, and not keep us
fr om it.
One of the best rules in conversaiion
is never to say anything which any Of the
company can reasonably wish had been
left unsRid.
Beautiful lives have grown up from
the darkest places, as pure white lilies
full of fragrance have blossomed on
slmy, stagnant waters.
Think twice befors you speak once,
and tell not ell you think; nor taste all
you desire; nor say all that you know;
nor give credence to all you hear.

1t is amusing to detect character in
the vocabulary OF each person. The

scriptIons on a thermometer, indicate

Earnestness is the path 70 immor-

Glass ShiagleS.

A Pittsburg firm has been granted
patent for the manufacture of shingles
composed of glass. 1t is claimed for
this material that it is so much more
durable, stronger and more impervious
to rain than slate or any other sub
stance nov used. Tho manufacture OF
the shingles will also be comparatively
inexpensive, and can be placed in
positioaj by any ordinary workman.
These shingles have the advan-
tage of slate in several pArticn-
lars. In consequence of their shape
they lie solid on the roof. aud can be
used on comparatively fiat roofs. and
they will admit of persons on them
without danger of fracture. = quality
