The Best Business for Many Moons-More
Gains Than Losses.
A good business was transacted in local Sc
curities yesterday. and the feeling was better
all round. Brokers took more interest in the
proceedings than on any previous day fol- a
long time. The strong features of the market
were the Switch and Signal, Central Traction.
Electric and Hazelwood Oil. Even La No1ia
stitfened up little. The weak spot was Phila-
delphia Gas. 1t opened with sale at S63l fol-
lowed by one at 365s. 1t was then hammered
down to S61S on a sale of l60 shares, but no
more was oDtainable at that figure.
Columbia Oil was in demand at 2ss, but held
at 4. 1t is SAID the Standard has made good
offer for the plant, which may be accepted.
This is the reason why certain parties on the
inside are figuring to get in on the ground
floor. The sales were 7G7 shares distributed
between La Noria, Switch and Signal, Phila-
delphia Gas, Hazelwood Oil, Electric Central
Traction and Peoples Pipeage. Closing quot.
ations, except as to Philadelphia Gas, were
about the best of the day. Bids and sales

Permanent Improvement.
A bearish feeling predominated at the open
ing of the oil market yesterday The initial
quotation was l0O3s. Buying here principally
by Sproul & Lawrence and McKelvy, run the
price up to 1909, the highest. This was fol-
lowed by weak wave, caused by selling in
New York, Oil City and Bradford, under the in
duence of which there was drop to 100, the
lowest figure of the day.
Just before the close there was slight rally,
and the market closed steady at 1001s. Brokers
were well pleased with the improvement. Some
thought it would be permanent. Tuesdays
clearings were 15S, 900 barrels.

FACTS ABOUT FLOWERS.

Natural flowers have been more elab-
orately and eXtravagantly used for dec
orative purposes during the past season
than ever before, among others the
much-despised cabbage roses, shy moss
rOsebuds, bluebells and larkspur.
Most picturesque and pleasing effects
have been, and are still, produced by
the garden hats woven of green and
brown rushes or braided grasses. They
have no foundation of wire, but may be
bent and fashioned in any shape sug-
gested by the wearer's fancy.
Vick's Magazine says of roses: 'sIf
the long shoots of the past seasons
growth are pegged down to the ground
they Will flower their whole length !;
whereas, ii left standing, only the up
per buds will break, and, if pruned hard
back, beauty is literally and needlessly
sacrificed
An English grower gives the follow
ing directions for growing hyacinths in
glasses: "F'ill your glass with water,
throwing in a small piece of charcoal.
and let the lower part of the bulb just
touch the water. Put them into cool,
but not damp place, away from the
light, and leave them till the glasses are
filled with roots and the leaves have be-
gun to develop: then give them as
much sun and light as you cam"
Fall finds most shrubs in need of jul
dicious pruning. if we would have them
take OH shapely form. Therefore,
when getting ready to give them the
winter protection, which most of them
require to a greater or lesser extent,
symmetrical. 1t is we'll to do this before
give them good pruning and make them
the coming OF very cold weather, so that
the fresh cuts on the bulbs Will have a
little chance to heal.-Ladies' Home
journal.

young women, are wearing them IL they
can afford it, all the same, with the
finest, sheerest, and daintiesr of muslin
trunks over them, edged with frills of
tilmy lace.
Now that most people have adopted
the side Straps because a congress OF
doctors decided that the old-fashioned
round garter was injurious, along comes
another congress of doctors arguing
that the side elastics are harmful, and
only spiral wire affair should be worn,
claSped above the knee, not below it.
Probably about five women in fifty
could keep those Squirming, wiggling
carriers on.
But the yellow garter is the garter
par excellence now-the yellow garter
with its true lovers knot of soft rib
bon. The girls are all wearing them.
Just one, You know, above the
left knee. "Some are in rags and some
are in shags" because they've been
worn ever since last Easter, but we
can't take them off until the next Easter
eve. lesI the mystic charm be broken.
We mustn't wear two, we mustn't lose
the lovers knot, and we must have them
given to us by some unknown friend If
we would wear symbolic ring on the
left hand in the near future, and then If
there is as much as shred left of them
and grain of humanity IN our make
up we must twist them about our bridal
flowers and give them to our best girl
friend to don the day of the wedding.

HOW KEEP CAT.
Cut Off the Tip Of Its Tail and
Bury 1t Under the Doorstep.


Washington Post
A lady in the northwest section has
recently taken poss 'sSiOn of an old
house. To her great sorrow, she found
the place overrun with rats and mice.
Rats and mice of the wariest and most
suspicious kind, too. Traps were set in
profusiOn, and in vain. She dared not
use poison, for fear the rodents would
die i'm the walls. Her kitchen was pre-
sided over by her old nanny. colOred
woman of ample proportions and great
age.
Il don't know what | am to do, Maum
Becky, with these rats and MICE" said
the lady, in despair.
What matter wild er cat?"
"But we have no cat, and before we
raise kitten large enough to catch rats
they will have eaten us out of house and
home"
"What matter wild SEN Jim out er
alley, ketch strange cat? Plenty OF
cat in alley. Nobody keer bout one
cat"
But what is the use of talking such
nonsense. Maum Becky? A strange cat
wouldn't stay in the house five minut es,
if Jim should catch one"

Her husband wrote her one letter in
reply. He said that he was firmly de-
termined not to live any longer with
such "bad woman" and wished that
the rest of her life might be a slow
death.
Mrs. Dittmar, in her defense, says
that she did not intentionally wrong her
husband, and pleads conformation.

For full dress the solitaire pearl, from
eight to ten grains in size, on split drill

PERsiMMoNs.
The Fruit, When Ripe and Slight
ly Frosted, Is Delicious.

TrOSttu, OCitCiOuSs
Philadelphia Times. o..
Persimmons are now at their height,
and may be seen ON the street for sale,
particularly by the enterprising colored
women from New Jersey. The persim-
mon, when fully ripe and touched by
early frosts, is delicious fruit, with Il
peculiar, agreeable flavor; but when
green. or even half-ripe, there is moth
ing in the world worse for puckering
up the mouth, sometimes to an
extent positively painful. The
persimmon is at its best when
it ''squashes" into jelly in handling or
eating. The persimmOn is about the
size of an apricot or plum, generally
globe-shaped, although sometimes
elongated like plum. When ripe the
fruit has transparent purpliSh bloom
on the outside. while within it is of a
rich flame color deeper than orange. 1t
grows on large, handsome tree. scien-
tifically known as the dlospvrOS Vir-
giniana. There is only one species
known in this country, ard stands as
the sole representative here of the eb-
ony family. Like the ebony, it has
hard, black wood.
AS is often the case with single spe-
cieS In the united states, lis nearest
relative is found i'm Japan. The jap
anese perSimmon is smaller tree, with
larger fruit than the American. A
specimen of the Japanese may be seen
in Horticultural hail in the West park.
The name diOspyroS literally means
''pear of the gods" A tree of the order
of persimmon was known to the an
clients. 1t is believed that the lotus
eaters fed upon the fruit of such tree,
differing, however, from the common
persimmon in having narcotic proper
ties. The lotus proper was something
quite distinct. 1t was. in fact, the nym-
phaIa. allied to the welI-known water
lily.
The name persimmOn is probably of
Indian origin. In some sections of the
country the fruit is known as the date

LADIES TURNED MILIINERS.
The number of women of social posic
ton who have of recent years gone int
trade has infused new and more dis
tinctively sportive element into the
shopping and shopkeeping side of wom-
ans life, and a very important side it is,
too. If Mrs. Langtry, for example, were
to lose all her money and turn milliner,
she'd sell stacks of bonnets TO society
people and all sorts of people, who
would go to her from curiosity. Her
shop would no doubt be Que of. the tast-
lest in town. But, continuing the by
pothesis. which everybody hopes. OF
should hope, will never become an ac-
tuality, Mrs. Langtry as a millineI
would undoubtedly retain the tastes and
to some extent the habits of Mrs. Lang

Inmates; as milliner she would be apt
to have lemon squash, which is indeed

mark Mark" A bunch of teal;
And swiftly on each flying track
Follows the shotgun's peal;
Thus rings that CALL till twilight's tide
Rolls in like some gray sea
And whip poor-wills complain beside
The lonely kankakee.
