State bonds were dull and nrm. Railroad
bonds were quiet and generally firm. Sales,

active bond, the Texas & Pacific Rios coupon
Off, in which the sales reached $3.50, 600. Final
figures, though generally higher, are seldom
advanced more than fractional amounts.
There was almost no news of a character to
effect values received to-day, but romOrs were
plentiful and their effect was almost invaria-
bly, to enhance values. The Vanderbilts,
with the exception of Lake Shore, were quiet
in comparison with the dealings Of last week,
but other stocks soon came to the front, and
moderate days business resulted A story
was early put in circulation that Union
Pacific had purchased a controlling interest
in Oregon Navigation. A free covering Off
shorts followed and the stock advanced over
l per cent. within an hour. The story was
afterward denied, but little of the advance
was lost. The Changers also displayed their
old time activity and are materially higher to-
night. The buying of these stocks is gener-
ally attributed to intiu entail New York par
ties and by some to the Chicago party, sub
rosa. Inc N0rCueru fdcluc also dQVaHc6C
on the belief that congress would do nothing
on the forfeiture bills. The room traders
were ranged on the bull side and considerable
short stock was purchased, which materially
helped the advance. The market opened
with first prices, though irregular, maj GRITTY
of cases Is to A higher. Western Union was
the only notable exception, opening down n
per cent. Trading was quiet for the first few
minutes, but the buying in Union Pacific
stimulated trading over the whole list and an
active and strong market followed until noon.
The market then became quiet and
prices continued about steady until the last
hour, when another slight advance occurred,
the principal feature being the trading in
Cleveland Columbus, Cincinnati s. Indian
apolis, which advanced over per cent. upon
inside buying and the market closed at about
the highest prices of the day. Everything on
the active list except Western Union is higher
tonight and St. Paul, Michigan Central and
Canada Southern are each up u per cent. and
other stocks fractional amounts. The total
sales of stocks to-day were 239, rs shares in

their convictions in the past; they ex-
pect to stand by them in the future.
1t is not worth while for us to add to
Brother Cheever's remarks much COM
ment of our own. But we want to say
this--that the men who clamor for un-
reasonable legislation are the ones most
to blame for Our getting fierce-sounding
statutes that will not work in practice,
and so leave both the dairymen and the
public without any protection at all. This
unreasonable clamor causes legislators
to cogitate somewhat in this way:
"These farmers are great voting
force, and we cannot afford openly to
oppose what seems to be their will.
We must give them law expressed in
terms of great stringency, but we must
put in a word or two, very innocent in
appearance, that will make it practi-
cally unavoidable. In short, we must
throw bone to bowling dog. 1t will
quiet him, and if he fails to find any
nutriment in it, his attention is at least
diverted now, and before another ses-
sion he will be discouraged, and may
give it up" This thing has been done
thousands of times by legislative
bodies which would have preferred, if
the public would have been satisfied, to
have enacted laws milder in form, but
strong as bear-traps to punish those who
ventured within their grip. AS Brother
Cheever says of Professor Atwater and
others who have ventured TO tell
unpopular truths: "The unpopularity
of these gentlemen is due to the fact
that they can see little way farther
into the future than the average man,
and have the courage of their convic-
tons to tell us what they see." Even
so; and they can afford to wait, for
their justification, upon the sober sec
ond thought of an intelligent public.

A Gardening Class.

Mr.. f. E. Rexford has written for
Vick's Magazine an interesting account
of how he taught little class in garden
ing. He says: g / had some seeds and
plants that had no use for, and one
bors' children who was fond of flowers.
She thanked me and said: / don't
know how to take care of them, and
mother is too busy to show me. If
you'd let me watch you, maybe | can
learn how OF course | was glad to be
watched in that way, and as l worked
in my garden | took pains to explain
how and why certain things were done,
and she became so interested that she
brought some other children with her
to watch. | gave some seeds and plants
to all of them. and encouraged them to
start little garden | told them that
their plants must be well taken care of d,
or they would not amount to anything.
If given proper care they would afford
a deal of pleasure, and they would have
the satisfaction of knowing that the
garden was their own. Children are
always pleased with sense of response
bility and proprietorship, and they are
enthusiastic over the idea. The boys
were as much interested as the girls,
and agreed to perform the hardest part
of the work if they would take them
into partnership in their gardening
operations. The consequence was, the
children of half a dozen or more fami-
lies had gardens of their own in which
flowers and vegetables were grown, and
grown well, am very glad to say. Now
these children have learned a good deal
by their gardening. l take pains to
explain things to them, so that they
may work understandingly and intclli-
gently. They have become interested
in their work, and an interest of this
sort is not likely to die out, for the more
we work among flowers the more we
love them. They are pure, ennobling
companions, and l believe they will
make the lives of these children better
as well as brighter. They have kept
the little fingers that tended them out
of mischief, l have no doubt, and the
work done has helped them to form
industrious habits, and has been good
training for larger fields of labor"

have large blossoms, perfect in all their
parts. In many observed cases during
the past eight years the stigmas of such
weak howering varieties as the Perry
russell apple and Early Richmond
cherry seemed dry and abortive after
severe winds, storms or light frosts,
while those of the Duchess and other
interior Russian apples, and of the
Russian cherries and plums, remained
perfect and coated with the needed
nectar for receiving and holding the
pollen. Again, we have often noticed
that the anthers of shy bearers-as a
rule-wither and dry up very soon
after the opening of the flowers, while
the large, strong anthers of the Duchess
and other Russian apples and the crabs
retained their vitality, and gave off
pollen for much longer period. AS
to the reasons why the flowers of the
Duchess and other hardy fruits are
least liable to injury by untimely frosts,
we are not so clear The ovary is well
protected by the thick woolly calyx, but
the parts of the open flower are as
much exposed as in any of the more
fragile and delicate blossoms. Most
likely the true cause of exemption from
injury is found in the more perfect
development of the vital organs, as
indicated.
