Tone of the Stock Market.

NEW YORK, June 2l.-iovernments
weak.
Railways lower, especially for Union
Pacific issues.
State securities dull.
The Stock Exchange was to-day the
scene of great excitement, and fluctua-
tions were frequent and violent. At the
opening the market was lower and
prices fell of y per cent. for the general
and l9EM3L for Pacific Mail and Michi-
gan Central. The decline was due to re-
ports that u leading clothing concern was
In trouble, but this was subsequently
denied. At l0:l5 IL became known that
q large amount of Lackawanna had
been called in, and the bears immcdi-
ately started to cover, which resulted in
large advance. Lackawanna and Mis-
souri, Pacific were the great features of
the speculation, the former rising 50
per cent. to l05, and the latter 9Js to
100. Thc sharp rise ON Lackwanna
and Missouri Pacific had u favorable eff
feet on the general list and prices rose
to !: pcr cent. Western Union sold up to

about reductions, and Missouri Pacific
fell of to 9lIs, Lackawana to 1929 and
remainder Of the active list h@2 per
cent. When the bank statement was
made public fresh buying movement
set in and prices rallied "a ~.
per cent, outside of Missouri Pacific and
1ackawanna, which rose l5s@54 re-
snoctivelv. The exhibit of the associ
ated banks was very favorable, showing
gain i'm the reserve of S3,033,575, which
placed the amount held by the banks
above the legal requirement. Late in
the evening the bears started the story
that G. =. Huntington and some of his
corporations had failed, or were embar-
rassed, and money was bid up rapidly
to l-32 per diem. simultaneously drives
were made against nearly all leading
stocks and prices forced down l@ilG per
cent. in the general list and 5@6
per cent. in Lacl<awanna and Missouri
Pacific. In the last fifteen minutes the
market was iirmer and there was gen
eral recovery of LM2 per cent. The re-
suit of the wide fluctuations of the day
was to leave the market irregularly un-
changed, compared with last
night, though the majority. was

The Mystery Of Cayuga Lake.

"If you are ever drowned in Cayu-
ga Lake, your friends need not go to
the expense or trouble of dragging
the lake for your body, for they'd
never find it.
This was the cheerful remark
made by a resident of Ithaca who
has a taste for geological research
and who has indulged it during the
past few years in investigating the
bottom of Cayuga Lake.
From all | have been able to dis
cover" said he, ''the bottom of Cayu-
GA Lake is series Of large openings
and cavities, many of them resem-
bling the craters of extinct volca-
noes. Some of these are a hundred
feet in diameter, and are all sur
rounded by raised rims, like the
sides OF a milk pan. These craters
| believe lie at different heights.
Their depth | have never been able
to sound, although l have lowered
many hundred feet of plumb line
into them. They are undoubtedly
fathomless, and have become recep.
tacles of the bodies of hundreds OF
persons who are known to have been
drowned in the lake during the past
half century. and ore of the undoubt
ed thousands of peopla killed in the
fierce battles that were frequently
waged on the shores of the lake be-
tween hostile tribes of the original
people years before the white man
appeared on this continent.
1t was in Cayuga Lake that the
wretch Rulloff lowered the bodies of
his wife and child, enclosed in a
chest, after he had murdered them,
twenty years ago. The weeks that
were spent in dragging for the chest
was time thrown away, for it had
sunk into the mouth of one of these
dead volcanoes, aud, if it is not sink
ing yet, is no doubt floating about
the bottomless depth where in ages
past, fire and smoke and ashes were
the dominant elements. ."-Nep Yorl

i brilliant Substitute for Candles.

A Southern girl, in the Boston
Watchmdn, thus describes how an
ingenious woman contrived to light
her house on the occasion of a swell
party during the war, when 10 can
dies were to be had She sent far
and near to borrow all the wine
glasses possible. These she filed
with pure white lard, and every one
who could be spared on the place
was set to work cutting out little
round pieces of paper, about the size
of half-dollar. Each of these she
twisted in the centre to form taper
and placed them on the lard in the
glasses ready for use, for she meant
to light her rooms with them. We
always had used them in the bed
rooms and for sickness, as they
would last all night, and candles
were far too precious to be wasted In
that way. But the idea of making
them ornamental was my mothers,
ard you cannot realize how lovely
the house looked that night. She
had placed them everywhere, and
had built pyramids of lights, banked
in with flowers, in every available
nook and corner. The rooms and
halls were brilliantly lighted by the
tiny flames, which seemed to me to
be flashing from heor to ceiling in
every direction, and looked like
some lovely fairy scene, far prettier
than any ballroom | have ever seen

Our Kitchens.

The debate on woman suffrage
in the Iowa senate, recently, brought
into emphatic prominence another
subject that belongs to the domain
of female efforts-that of domestic
help-and Senator Bills made a
speech against the suffrage PROPOSE
ton remarkable for its yigor of
thought and expression. tie denied
that female voting is one of the press
ing necessities of the day. The great
problem coming up for solution in
this country, said he, is the ques-
ton of domestic help: What shall
we do with our kitchens ?" He
added
"A woman is willing to go any
where-into stores, offices, the pub
lie schools. and anywhere in Gods
heaven where she can earn enough
to.feed and clothe herself-except
into the kitchen. 1t is easier for a
man TO marry ten wives than to
hire one servant girl. The American
people are fast becoming people
practically without homes. We are
drifting into French flats, the Coop
erative house keeping-huddling in
groups, living like cattle, feeding
out of common trough. The home,
the best institution ever given to
any people, is disappearing from our
midst. The women are deserting
it for the political arena. | want to
say, continued Senator Bills, who
is the leading republican in Scott
county, what have not been per-
mitted to say in any republican con-
vention-that the republican ship
is being overloaded. 1t is in dan
