With such extraordinary payments by the United
States Treasury as made last week it is hardly
necessary TO write that the local money market
steadily gravtated toward extreme ease. From
per cent on the first day of the week the rate for
call loans at the Stock Exchange declined To per
cent as about the average rate for yesterday. The
domestic exchanges on New York have been favora-
bic at all the principal commercial points except at
The East where New-YOTk drafts have been at
discount The latest quotations for New York ex-
Change at the places named are as follows: Savan-
nah, ls9as premium; Chicago, ls0l4 premium I;
New-Orcans commercial, par to 20 cents and
bank, - premium st. Louis, 81 premium Chi
eago. 10 cents premium Boston. 35a30 cents dis
count The foreign exchanges ruled easier all the
week and rates were just below the specie shipping
points. The supply of commercial bills continues
ushb but there were more bankers bills on the
market During the last days OF the week the
comparative prices i'll London and New York ia
v~ed sales of some securities in London against
purchases in this market and it probable that
'here was sufficient amount of that kind of buSI-
ness done to supply the mercantile demand for eA-
change. But little more dependence can he placed
Oh Tie permanent character Of exchange created by
the sale Of securities than on that created by loans

speculation, however. continues TO advance the
piiees OF nearly all agricultural products, and IT
sehs 10 have basis Of facts for the movements OF
prices. With an uncomfortable export movement
.ne visible supply OF cereals shows important re-
auctions each week. For the week ended Oh April

els and was only Il,732 800 bushels, against

Sewing and Darning.

Teachers are much puzzled to find
employment during the long hours of q
school day for children who are too
young to learn lessons. Some old-fash-
toned towns compel their teachers to
keep school six hours day, and during
at least five hours of that period, the
youngest pupils, who scarcely know
their letters, must sit idle and listless,
longing for school to be out.
The Canada School Journal recon-
mends that these little, longing children,
both girls and boys, be taught to knit,
darn and sew. This, it seems, is done
in some English schools with good re-
suits, and the boys sew as well and as
cheerfully as the girls. The teacher ex-
plains the stitches on the blackboard,
and drills whole classes at once in needle
threading, and in the different ways Of
knitting, henming and darning
This might answer very well for all
but very young pupils. What little child
rem want and need is PLAY. 1t is cruel
to keep them six hours day in school,
or even five hours, unless they are al
lowed to 60 out and play very frequently.
The young of all creatures delight in
play, and we do most profoundly pity
any child who does not have all the play
it needs for its happiness and healthy
growth. The suggestion of the Canada
School Journal is, nevertheless good
one, and worthy Of serious considera-
ton

American CATTLE Abroad.

A New York Tribune reporter recent
ly visited several shippers of cattle and
beef in order to learn the cause of the
reduced expectation of live cattle and
beef. Francis H. Hatch said that the
present small expectation of cattle was
due simply to the fact that there was no
profit in the business. cat this time
last year." said he, seattle could be
bought at ten cents pound dressed
weight and could be sold in Liverpool
and Glasgow at Is cents, which would
pay profit of about Sl5 head Now
we must pay Is cents pound, making
a bullock cost about 1924 more than last
year. The English market has been
supplied with an unusual amount of ma
tive beef, for the reason that short crops
compelled the English farmers to sell of
their cattle to greater extent than usu-
al. The supply cannot last, however,
and eventually prices must go up on the
other side At present we are export
ing hardly any cattle, while last year
one dealer shipped 10000, another 20,-
600, and third $4,000 head Of cattle.
One reason for the higher price of cattle
in this country is the short corn crop.
Corn could be bought in Canada for 20
cents last year, but costs 45 cents this
year. For this same cause farmers are
sending in their cattle to market only
half fattened, and the best cattle have
already been marketed.

In ROYAL Life.

The Emperor and Empress Of Ger
many see each other as little aspossible.
1t is somewhat curious how few mon
archs do get on with their wives and tho
wives with the husbands, for they sell
dom adore each other. The Empress Of
Austria is seldom seen in society, and
when out riding or driving carries fan
before her face, even when returning
the greetings of her royal admirers.
She seldom attends the theatre or opera,
but when the circus comes to town Is
then seen in her box every night. She
knows only one passion, and that is her
love of horses and equestrianship. She
has her own especial riding establish
ment, and here she reigns supreme.
She will drive tandem team before
her at a relentless pace around the ring,
having fresh relays Of horses every few
minutes. She has place fitted up In
the stable Of her favorite charger where
she can sleepif she feels SO disposed,
and where she frequently dictates hor

( Bruno.

He was shepherd dog, one Of the
wisest sort, and Bruno was his name.--
His MASTER farmer, told many anec-
dotes of his helpful and funny ways.
Occasionally neighbours sheep would
break into the field where the farmers
flock was feeding. Calling the dog to a
hill just back of the house, the farmer
would say, "See there, Bruno! Drive
out those sheep" AS fast as his legs
could carry him, the dog would run to
his work. In few minutes every
strange sheep would be driven out, but
not one of the masters. At milking
time, some one, letting down the bars,
would say, Bruno, fetch the cowsr'
BY the time the milking-maid was ready,
the cows would be in the yard.
Bruno was fond of romping with the
cat. They were good friends, but some
times the dogs love of fun made him
rougher than was agreeable. Kitty
would be DOING in corner, when,
with rush, Bruno would seize her by
the neck and whirl her round and round,
until her tail stood out straight Then
dashing under the table he would lay
Kitty on the floor and sitting upon her
PROSTATE body, look up at the family as
much as to say, "Don't you think you
ought to applaudP'
If Kitty resented his rough playful
ness, as occasionally she did, some one
would say, by opening the door, That's
enough, Bruno; go outr'
Out Bruno would rush, with the cat
in his mouth, and dropping her into a
snowdrift, return to the house as grave
ly as if she had caused the disturbance.
A pair of white bantams had been
given the farmers daughters. The
chickens were proud and put on many
airs, especially the cock, who was as
brave as he was consequential. Bruno
delighted to tease him.
Bantam, strutting about, as If mon
arch Of all he surveyed, would suddenly
find himself caught by the tail and
whirled by Bruno around the yard. No
sooner was the little cock dropped, than
he would fly at the dog, striking him
with bill and spurs.
Bruno was the family pet, and when
old age took him of, the household
seemed to have lost one of its brightest
members.
