PORTLAND MARKET.
FRrsH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IN
GOOD DEMAND.
The Coffee Market 10 Firm-Wool and

Meatsare Repor ed Very
Weak-Flour Is Active.

Except in very Few lines the local
merchandise markets continue more than
usually active for the time OF year, and
an excellent feeling prevails. In no case
is complaint made OF lack OF orders,
while in many directions firms are taxed
to their utmost to keep up with them.
The coffee market is firm at the advance
noted last week. There is good market
for both fresh fruits and vegetable at
quotations, vegetables being none too
plentiful. Nothing new to report in the
grain market, quotations being about the
same as reported last week. For dairy
produce and poultry the market is fairly
firm at quotations. The demand for ficu
is active and quotations firm. The wool
market is very dull with a downward
tendency.

How Andrew Jackson Dined.

When General Andrew Jackson visited
Concord, N. H., after his Presidential
term had expired, he vas entertained at
Cass' Hotel at that time the leading
hotel of the State. The proprietor wish
ing TO do honor to his distipg dished
guest, provided banquet and arranged
to serve it with considerable style With
the first course the General surprised the
waiter by ordering crackers and milk,
and refused all other dishes, much to the
disgust of the hotel proprietor. Cass'
Hotel was the great resort OF stage driy
ers, and it was at this hotel that Vice
President Moron boarded when young
man and engaged as clerk in the dry
goods business. One of the leading mer-
chants Of Concord, now in active business,
was bOarder at that hotel at that time,
and occupied a seat at the same table.

MAKEEYOUR OWN CANDY.
How Delicious Fruit Bonbons Can be Quickly
Made.

How Delicious Fruit Bonbons Can be Quickly
Made.
Now is the Joyous season of the year
when. if you are only acquainted with
the precious secret of their preparation,
you can make for yourself with ten min
utes' work candies more delicious than
were ever purchased at the most expen-
sive confectioner's. The latter never has
this particular sort of candies for sale
because they will not keep. But, fresh.
cooked, they ere morsels for the gods,
says the Philadelphia Record, and this is
the way to make them:
Take some big Strawberries, ripe and
firm, and hull them. Then mix two cup
fuils Of granulated sugar with a little
less than one cupful of cold water Put
the mixture on hot fire and let it boil
hard, without stirring, until spoonful
dropped into cold water crystallized to
the brittle point Immediately. Now
take it off the fire and pour it into cups,
previously warmed in the oven. Dip
the strawberries one by one into this hot
solution as quickly as possible, fishing
them out with forks, and laying them on
CREASED tin pans.
The briefest sort of an emersion will
be sufficient 70 give each berry the de-
sired coating of sugar candy. Finally,
set the pans On the ice in the refrig orator,
and as soon as the frait is cold it will be
ready to eat. Perhaps "gobble" would
be the more appropriate word, consider
ing the eagerness with which such straw
berries are usually consumed. In very
truth, they are not rivaled by any other
kind Of sugar plums, as you will yourself
confess if you try them. Malaga grapes
and nuts as well may be treated in the
same way.

THE ATCHISON PHILOSOPHER.

| Man is ambitious to kill lion until he
meets one.
If the lips of the dead could sneak
would men take our advice?
Our idea of a leading lawyer is one
who charges for Fourth of July orations.
About all some men are good for, is to
mary and make woman miserable.
The wolf that gets the most sheep does
not run around in the daytime telling of
his exploits.
1t is not the good who die young, but
only those who have not lived long enough
to be bad.
When man economic S he buys less
clothes; when woman economies she
buys less to eat.
We have more fear of little crazy man
OF little drunken man than We have of
two big sober men.
In figuring Up his chances to "get
even" a man should not forget the
extra fighting the opposition will do.
The most unfair thing that happens to
wHmeu is that engagements are SO short
and marriages so long.
Women, who are said to be sensitive
and delicate, wear the suggestive low neck
Dress men never do it.
Some men are like Indians: place fire
water within their reach and the cannot
help drinking zoo much.
We have no confidence in the theory
that man must be very smart simply
because he comes from Chicago or st.
Louis.
The feeling of man at a funeral is
more of self -congratulation that he him
self is alive than sorrow that mis- friend is
dead.
No man ever regards the children of
the family as his when it comes to paying
their bills; they belong to the poor mother
then.
The first sign of good man or woman
is the habit of speaking well of every one.
The man who pretends to be good and
gossips is a liar.
When mau goes home feeling disgust
ed because of his own waste of time or
because of his own 9orthiessness he is
more apt TO find fault with his wife than
at any other time.

ParalyZed.

Many are the absurd transactions which
take place in banks, says the Youths Com
panion, some of them showing sn over
cautiousness in the care of money and
others, like the following, indicating an
amusing ignorance of its value.
A Georgia paper says that negro,
the fortunate possessor of a valuable
house-lot, ore day sold his property for
$4,000.
He was given a check for that amount,
which was carried in due time TO one
of the banks. The paying teller asked
him how much of the money he wanted in
cash.
81 want all dat ar paper calls fur" re-
piled the negro.
"What! You don't want $4,000 in
cashf"
''Yesso, sab"
"Al right" answered the man, and in
minutes he began piling the money on
the counter.
As he laid the $500 packages on the
counter the negroes eyes grew larger and
larger. Finally, when twenty of the
packages had been placed before him,
he looked in tently at them for moment,
and then, with broad grin on his face,
said:
'Is iist paralyzed! Gimme a dollar
ma half, m you kin keep de rest till 1

WHAT We SUBSlST UPON
Crops are Away Behind for This Time
of the Year.
Cold, Worms and Rain Work Damage
in Many Localities.
July Weather is Depended Upon to
Improve Matters.

WAsHINGToN.-The June crop returns
of the department of agriculture
make the increase in the area planted to
maise of about one and third million
acres, and the total over 100000. This
is only a preliminary estimate, subject
to revision after the more thorough cen
sHs tests now in progress. The cOndi
ton of the crop io only medium and low
er than usual at this period of its devel-
opment. In the Ohio valley tire condition
is lower than elsewhere. Cut worms
have been very destructive in the West.
More advanced fields in this region,
which should have been cultivated four
times at ttis date, have only been
plowed twice. The crop is therefore late
and dependent on July weather for i'm
provement, while it Is exposed more than
usual to possible adverse conditions.
Maize of the northern border, from Wis
consin to Dakota, suffered from the alb
normal cold of May and cary June, but
looks quite as well now as in the Ohio
valley. West of the Mississippi, in the
sub humid belt che crop is
generally in fine condition, though in
jured at points by overfows and excess
of moisture. The great American des-
ert is green with great American cereals
in high development. The general av-
erage condition is about 80 and the av
erages of the princip pal states are: New
York, 80; Pennsylvania, 50; Ohio, 81;
Michigan, 20; Indiana, 81; Illinois, 80;
Wisconsin,, So; Minnesota, 81; Iowa, 90;
Missouri, go; Kansas, 80; N1braska, SO;
Dakota, S3.
The condition of winter wheat has we'll
sustained the general condition, standing
at 80. Former com plants of being
threatened by drouth are displaced by
the statement of some actual damage
from abundant rains. Occasional re-
ports of injury from the Hessian fly,
chinch bug, nudge and rueb are received,
but local estimates Of the condition do
not indicate much damage. The average
condition of the principal states are:
New York, SO; Pennsylvania, So; Ohio,
SO; Michigan, 80; Indi-na, 80; Illinois 81 !;
Missouri, "a; Kansas, SO.
Returns concerning spring wheat in
Dakota are very unfavorable from the
results of the long continued drouth.
The rains late in June had improved the
situation, but the general average, as con-
solidated, is 81. The averages of Wis
consin and Nebraska are each 95; Iowa,
81; Minnesota, 81.
The general average is about SO, which
is very low at this stage of growth.
Rye maintains its condition and barley
declines to about 80.

How Royalty is Regarded.
North American Review.

1t is perfectly true that, if all the money
voted annually TO all the various members
of the royal family were distributed
among the poor of England, the national
distress would not be sensibly alleviate6.
But hungry people do not argue in that
way. They only see that enormous sums
of money are yearly paid to certain
family, and they ask whaS that particular
family is doing to earn the money. In
London, at all events, the newspapers in
by far the largest circulation among the
poor are the radical Sunday papers, which
are always attacking and denouncing the
manner in which public money is lavished
on the royal family. Take very diff
ferent sort of a paper read by very diff
ferent class; 1 mean my friend Mr.. La
boucbere's Truth. Truth is high priced;
il lies on drawing room tables and club
tables; it is not read by the poor; it
is society" paper altogether. Yet
it is constantly showing up the cost of
royalty. the sham offices created to
crafty royaIty's relatives and frienos,
the waste of public money on rnyalty's
empty palaces and disused parks. Society,
as have said, is decide dly loyal; yet it
reads and perhaps quietly chuckles over
Mr.. Labouchere's remarks, all the same.
