From Wall street To-day.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The stock market was
quiet but generally weak at the opening, first
prices in most of the active shares showing
losses of from Is to II per cent from Saturdays
closing prices. The business done usual was
still confined to limited number of active
shares, but only Atchison, and to a smaller de-
gree Union Pacific showed any of the weakness
of last week. The entire list, however, sympa-
thized to some extent in the weakness shown
in those two stocks, and the early quotations
were not maintained, though the concessions
were insignificant. Atchison was again ex-
tremely active, and in the first few minutes it
declined 4 per cent, followed by Union Paci-
fc with y and with Missouri Pacific with Is
per cent, but bottom was struck very quickly.
and from that time there was less animation
while prices improved somewhat, and in the
general list the changes from the opening fig
ures we're extremely small. Among the low
priced shares San Francisco preferred rose 1
per cent, but there was no other feature Of any
kind to the trading, and at IL o'clock the
market was dull and firm generally at a shade
under the opening prices.

Signs That Are Sure.

II sec your family's home again, said one
neighbor to another, as the two met yester-
day morning. The family had returned; but
how did he know it? He had not seen them.
True, but he had seen the unmistakable signs.
The curtains at the front windows, which had
been drawn closely for weeks, were up In
the frost upon the pane was figure that only
tiny baby fingers could draw Beneath the
fringe of frost reclined touzle headed doll,
and picture book rested against the sash.
In the parlor below was a vase of fresh flowers,
and the curtains appeared to hang more
gracefully. The front steps were secured and
the sidewalk was clean. Yes, the family was
home again, and no one was more happy
over it than the man who had for weeks gone
around with safety pins where buttons ought
to be, unblacked shoes, and the generally
dilapidated appearance of an unhappy
bachelor. Chicago Herald.

A Floral Hint.

1t is an easy matter to secure beautiful hya-
cinth blooms in winter It is only necessary
to remember the fact, and act upon it, that
the roots must get a good start before the
leaves are put forth. By potting in rich
earth, and setting them away in cool, dark
place for about six weeks, the roots will form
inside without the leaves starting. Then they
may be brought into the light and warmth
and the beautiful blooms will shortly appear
By use of the regulation hyacinth glasses,
simply filling them with water so that the
roots of the bulb will rest in it, and following
the same method as for potting above men,
toned, we get an effect that is preferred by
some, but we like them best in the old red
flower pots.
Do not, from a mistaken idea of tidiness,
cut away the stalks of arundo eulalia and
such things in fall, for the hollow stalks left
sticking up convey the water to the center of
the plant, where it freezes and thaws, to the
death of the plant. Left on, the tops form

The Baby.

Mrs. Herrick tells of young mother who
said of her first baby, little girl: Baby

has on his plate. She is year old now, but
has liked potatoes and gravy ever since she
was six months old; is so fond of cake and
preserves, and of nearly every sort Of vege-
table. did protest when her father began
feeding her pickles and cIrumbers and cab
bage with vinegar on them, but she seemed
to like them and can't see that it does her
bit of harm. Don't you think it good
plan to accustom babies to eat everytaing2
Then their digestions will get used to all
sorts of FOOD
The baby was even then of pasty COM
plexion, but had plenty of flesh, though it
was flabby and lacked the firmness the flesh
of healthy child should have. By the time
this little one Was sixteen she was a con-
firmed dyspeptic, with a skin the color Of
dirty dough, decayed teeth and intolerable
breath; and the parents, who lamented their
daughters i'll health, utterly failed to con-
meet cause and effect, saying: "She used to
be such a healthy baby; she could eat any
thing"
A regular, simple diet is of paramount i'm
pOrtance in keeping a child we'll Next after
that comes regular outdoor exercise and
early hours. No wonder babies are cross
and fretful when they are kept up nights till
10 or II o'clock, and abnormally excited by
lights and unusual surroundings. Let them
have their frolics in the daytime but put
them to bed in the twilight hour.
No pains should be spared to detect the first
appearance of indiSposition; the work of
checking an incipient disease is simpler than
that of arresting it after it is under way
Often everything depends on controlling
disease in its earliest stages The baby has
little reserve power, and, though the recu-
perative ability of children has become
byword it is unsafe to tax it too severely
These are very sensible ideas, and mothers
and babies will be the better for putting
them into practice. Michigan Farmer.

The sum of money the Empress Frederick

lawyers. The arrangement made for her by
the Emperor Frederick, apart from her an
nuity of 10000 as queen dowager of Prussia,
was very generous, and the present emperor
was most anxious that as regards money mat
tiers his mother should have everything done
that was possible. When the late emperor

PoCketless Woman.

Why don't women have pockets! They
carry their purses III their hands and their
handkerchiefS in their bodices, and they carry
little bag about as big as a pint cup on
their arms, the exact use of which has never
been defined. There is liberal wholesale
ness about the way man provides in the
construction of his dress for his own wants
that is actually refreshing in comparison
with the way women Inconvenience them
selves A man has plenty of pockets He
can carry keys. A woman is always wonder
ing where she left or hid hers. When the ext

man begins to get her change ready when the
conductor is at the other end of the car. She

opens her purse, unclasps an inner compart-

this is fair sample of the way women ham
per themselves in all the little things-and life

the disadvantages of sex. There is nothing
on earth to prevent any individual woman
