WEEKLY REPORT

WEEKLY REPORT.
GENERAL REMARKs.-The general market
during the past week was very quiet and as
rule prices were about the same as the pre-
Vious week Again the outlook has become
one of uncertainty. The disturbing Influences
have a tendency TO knock the prices of cotton
down, and the doubt as to Congress taking
any action at this session relative to the
stoppage Of the coinage of silver has
the same effect. The movement during
last week was comparatively light in most
commodities, while in others it was quite
steady, but not up to expectations. Collec-
tons continue also in quite an unsatisfactory
state. and IN no proportion to the amount OF
goods selling, while on old accounts interior
merchants are rather backward. The money
market Is very easy. In securities there is
considerable doirg in a quiet way. The
demand is principally for long date bonds
and debentures for Investments coming prin-
cipally from Northern investors, showing
evidences Of more confidence in Southern
securities. The whole list shows quite sharp
advance. The following review will show
the tone and latest quotations of the diff
ferent markets.
NAVAL STORRS-The market for spirits tur'
pentlne was quieter during the week with
an easier tendency, and prices fell of &c
The demand was very light and more or less
nominal. The sales for the week were
about 400 casks. Rosin-The market was qul-
ct, and steady for the better grades, while the
lower grades were in good request,
and firm at advanced prices. There was not
much Offering IN the cOmmOner goods. The
sales for the week were about $500 barrels

statement of receipts and exports from the
beginning Of the season to date, and for the
same time the previous year, showing the
stocks on hand and on shipboard not cleared,
together with the official closing quotations.
RICE.-The market continues rather quiet,
and If anything easier, though no lower
prices we're obtained. The inquiry was hight,
though steady. and about 500 barrels were
eeid for the week at unchanged prices. Our
quotations are higher than the latest Charles

Motion at Rest.

One of the most astonishing of the many
wonderful powers of the Photographic in
strument-our artificial eye-is the extreme
rapidity at which it acts upon objects
brought within its range. The Popular
Science Monthly makes the following refer

everything is in readiness, that its retiDa

uptown boarding stable after the close OF

length of time an ordinary meal of soup,
meat. potatoes and black bread required
for digestion For this purpose the stomach
tube was employed at periods varying from
five to seven hours and half after the
meal, and the condition of the contents of
the stomach examined. In all the cases
complete breaking down appeared to have
taken place in about six hours and half.
The exact time required by each individual
for the digestion of the specified
meal being noted, further observ-
atoms were made on a subsequent
day, the patients in the first group being
given after the meal hot tea, at tempera-
ture of from 400 10 500 c., the quantity
taken VARYING from two to eight lumber
fuls. The contents of the stomach were
drawn off at the time when, as former ex-
periments had shown, digestion would, IN
der ordinary conditions, have been COM
plete. The result was that, when not more
than three tumblerfuls of hot tea had been
swallowed. il was found that digestion had
progressed Just as well as without ii, but a
larger quantity of hot tea appeared dis
tinctly to retard the digestive process. The
second group of patients were given a meal
similar to what they had had before but
hot. On examining the contents of their
stomachs no difference could be detected
between the rate of digestion of hot and
cold food. The author found that by paint
ing the pharynX with a iive-per-cent solu-
ton of hydrochlorate of cocaine the tube

A New Destructive Pest.

The REcoRD-UNIoS has sought to give
as much information as possible for the
benefit ofits readers upon the various in
sect poets which infest California or appear
upon the coast. A novel and very de-
structive pest has recently come under
notice at Mount Palaiine, Putnam county,
Ill, in the shape of white ants which de-
stroy buildings and other modern struct-
ures- Professor S. A. Forbes, State Emo
mologist, was recently summoned to view
the work of damaging insects. He visited
the farm of John Wilson. near Mount
Palatine, and found that his premises had
been almost completely destroyed by white
ants. species very uncommon in Ameri-
ca, but very similar to the white ants in
India and Africa. The insects first attacked
an outdoor cellar, working on the under
side of the roof and the inside of the walls
Their working is confined to the woodwork,
and they so followed out the roof and sides
of the cellar that it collapsed. From the
cellar they spread to the residence, and
have completely ruined good apart of the
building. Here they worked through the
sills. in the studding, IN tie weather board
ing, window ard door castings, and the raft

There is a vigorous warfare being prose-
cnted against jack rabbits in at least three
districts of the State. Beginning at the
north, it is reported that party of citizens
OF Adm, Modoc county, recently killed
1,4o0 rabbits in days hunt. making a
total of nearly 5000 in three weeks In
Tulare county the war has been pushed for
the last few months with gun and poison,
but we have no statistics of the slaughter
In the neighborhood of Anaheim, Los An
geieS county, rabbit hunts are apparently
becoming leading social events, for the citi-
zens, both great and small, if able to bear
arms, go out from week to week and smite
their thousands. No doubt the extermina-
ton is going on also at other points, for
young trees and vines must be guarded
either by rabbit-proof fences or by gun shot
These facts come to mind as We read in a
London exchange, the other day, that
among the imports of food from abroad for
the week ending January 30th, there were
rabbits to the value of $S7, 530-rabbits con-
stltuting about three-fourths OF the whole
supply of imported game. This is a large
amount OF money paid for somhody's rab-
bits. 1t was proposed some time ago to
send frozen rabbits from Australia with the
frozen meat cargoes, and possibly part of
the supply comes in that way, though the
continent, no doubt, is the breeding ground
for large supplies of the tame stock.
1t was suggested some time ago that we
could turn out an honest penny in this
country by exporting canned rabbits and
squirrels, but we are not aware that theex-
pertinent proved profitable, even if it was
tried. There is one good account to which
the carcasses can be turned if the animals
fall by gun shot, and not poison, and that
is as food for hogs and poultry. We know
that some poultry raisers do well by their
fowls by feeding them on stewed rabbit.
The skins and entrails are removed and the
bodies thrown i'll Il large iron kettle and
wheat and water added, and the result is
acceptable meal Of stewed wheat and rab-
bit, which will be found very stimulating
to eeg-laying by the hens. Rabbits can be
very speedily prepared for the caldron, and
many poultry raisers, who cannot easily
get butchers scraps or other animal food
for their poultry, can do their fowls good
service, and at the same time benefit other
farmers by joining the rabbit hunters.
There is nothing like making a thing use
ful in order to accomplish its scarcity. OF
course, jack-rabbits have certain market
value as game, but the demand in this d.
rection would never cope with the breeding
propensity OF the animal

Things Worth Knowing,

A fever patient is cooled off and made
more comfortable by frequent sponging
with warm soda water.
A Tablespoonful of soda in half a cup
of water will relieve sick headache that is
caused by indigestion.
Warm mustard water should be given to
one who has accidentally swallowed poi
son; this will cause vomiting; after that
give a cup of strong coffee That will
counteract the remaining effects.
When going from warm room out into
the cold air, close your mouth and breathe
through your nose to prevent taking cold
A hard cold Is ottentimes cured by cup
of hot lemonade taken at bed. time. as it
will produce perspiration.
Consumptive night sweats may be ar
rested by sponging the patients body at
night with salt and water
Teething children may be relieved of
commissions by being immersed in warm
bath, and cold water applied to the head.
For Group or pneumonia, bruise raw
onious, lay on cloth with powdered gum
camphor sprinkled over it, and apply to
chest and lungs, and cover with hot flannel.
This is sure cure when taken in time.

What They Have Accomplished, and Its
Results for Our Pos, eri.y.

what they Have Accomplished, and Its
Results for Our Pos, Gritty.
EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN This subject in
wolves the progress made by the California
pioneers in the moral, social and political,
together with the industrial growth of the
State of California for the last thirty-fve
years. The subject is OF such magnitude
that very much fear my description will
be inadequate to do full justice to the work
of that brave and noble band OF men who
left home and kindred to plant the standard
of freedom on the golden sands of the
Empire State of the Pacific. 1t was no en-
pire then; what it is now, the indomitable
pluck and energy of that grand old guard
OF freedom have made it. In that gallant
band almost every nationality of the civil
lized world will find its representative and
they will also find that they have been
true TO the principles of civil liberty. and
have ever been readyto rally in its defense.
When the pioneers first came, California,
was but Wild uncultivated wilderness,
inhabited principally by savage tribes of
Indians. ITS beautiful valleys were without
cities, towns and villages, and no rural
population occupied neat white cottages
There were no cultivated fields, rich crops
of grain, or blooming fruit orchards, vine
yards and gardens, but large bands of wild
cattle and horses roamed at will. When |
first came to this State, travellers could pass
hundreds of miles up and down the valleys
of the Sacramento and San Joaquin with
out seeing a farmhouse or cultivated field.
and no resting place could be found for the
weary traveller but the bosom OF mother
earth. San Francisco, when | first visited
the commercial metropolis of the Pacific,
was city OF tents and rough board build
lngs. There were no palatial hotels or
marble palaces for her merchant princes.
and no tall church spires or academical in
situations. 1t was the same with Sacra-
mento and every other town or city in the
State.
Where can you find Californian now
who is not justly proud of the achieve
ments of our early pioneers? 1t was the
pioneers who by their indomitable perse-
yerance have built around the Bay of San
Francisco a beautiful city containing an in
dustriOus population of more than 100000
inhabitants, with all kinds of manufac-
tories; its halls of science and arts. its
Chamber of Commerce. whose merchant
princes are now stretching out her com
mercial arms TO grasp the trade of the
Orient. Where, let rue ask, Mr. Editor.
would have been her churches, colleges and
seminaries, her manufactures and COM
merce, but for the pioneers? | believe they
have done their work well, and as the adj
vance guard of civilization the future his
tory of California will, believe, make their
names immortal. +. S. HALL.

says that the ants have been there four or
five years, but their presence cannot be ac-
counted for, unless they were conveyed
from the woods in a log that they were
working. He says that they are very pro-
life and difficult to destroy.

How TO KILL" ESeISEs-In these
days of railroad strikes we frequently hear
of engines being killed to render them
useless for service. OF course. the SUPPOSE
ton is that the damage is intended TO be
the slightest that can be done to effect the
end in view. The way in which it is done
was recently revealed to a reporter of the
Denver Tribune substantially as follows /:
The quickest and surest way is to take the
throttle lever away. II is easily carried off

Inc favorite way .when an engine is on the
road, IS to put out the fire, open the blow
off cock which you see standing out from
the side OF the fire-box, under the cab. and
let out all the water. Then the engine
must be hauled to the nearest tank and
filled up before she can be again fired up.
In killing engines the strikers remove such
of the parts as will require the longest time
TO replace, and very likely at the same time
let the water all out of the boilers.

and we believe by medical men also, on the
effect OF hot drinks on the digestion of

gated by DR.. Y. E. Nyeshel, OF st. Peters

But binds unto himself forage

And heap'd the hills and bard the sea,
Then Wisdom sat beside his throne
But his own word was Charlie.
And still, through every age and hour.

By noon and night, by sun and shower,
BY 0ews that fall and winds that flee
On grove and field on told and flower,
Is shed the peace of Charitie.
The violets light the lonely hill,
The fruitful burrows load the lea;
Mans heart alone is sterile still
For lack of lowly Charlie.
He walks weary vale within
No lamp of love in heart hath he;
His steps are DEATH his thoughts are sin,
For lack of gentle Charitie.

Oh. spotless, perfect Charlie!

With blood-drops from the beautiful tree,
