No prisoner ever felt q greater sense Of
relief at his liberation than did the so
iourners on this island upon the advent Of
clear weather. For weeks il had rained
almost increasingly, and as the sports here
are all outdoor the place seemed lonely
and dismal indeed. On Thursday after
noon the long spell Of wet weather wound
up with a desperate effort. The water foil
in torrents, driven IN sheets by q gale

scended with a density as if 10 unite with

was over was q fresh-water lake three hun

BOSTON MARKETS.

Unless there is likelihood that the new
crop of wheat, when 1t begins TO move,
will check the upward tendency OF the
flour market there will be boom In
that staple commodity at an early date.
Although the rainy weather had ten
dency last week to tighten receipts sufli-
GENTLY TO advance prices fraction, there
will be no reaction on that account, as
the tone Of the foreign market Is very
strong, and winter flours are selling
abroad at better prices than in the home
market. The butter market Is in the
same state as at our last report and will
remain so until shipments of inferior and
medium grades are greatly lessened.
The market is virtually glutted, the
stock being so large that it Is impossible
for the storage houses to provide for II.
Under such circumstances butter, to Ell
feet sales, must be forced at prices
which are ruinous to producers. Our
advice Is to hold stocks for few weeks
until consumption shall cause move
ment. In eggs the market is equally re-
stricted by heavy stocks, except In choice
eastern, which are in light supply and
will bring outside quotations. Beans
are slow, the light demand for them be-
ing caused by the looked for decline
which always comes at this season.
Potatoes are selling well, and those
marketed thus far show an excellent
condition of the crop. The market tor
hay is not active, receipts for the past
week have been smaller and the large
stocks here have been reduced but
slightly. Strictly choice hay is not
over plenty and comparatively firmer
than the medium grades. We quote:

Mexican WAYS

The other day encountered a village
''costumore or usage, which surprised
me into gentle fir Of wrath, says
correspondent of the Boston Herald
writing from Mexico. Having desire
for good beefsteak for supper ! sent
to noighboring provision store, where
they declined to cut the meat "because
the family were not regular customers"
Then tho servant tried the place where
we were irregular customers" and there
1t was said that "the man who cut the
meat had gone home" and the question
was asked, 'Why don't you get your
meat in the morning2' If you go once
to a shop where you do not regularly
trade the naughty character ofyour reg
ular shopkeeper asserts itself; your reg
ular baker will refuse to sell any bread
because he has seen the servant buying
of rival baker. Mexicans from the
city say that this is the provoking Gus
tom of all the small towns. 1t illustrates
the old national Characteristic of not
caring to bargain, deal or negotiate with
a person if he is not agreeable. Proba-
bly, no nation is more governed in trivial
matters by its likes and dislikes than is
this one. The average Mexican cannot
understand why a man should wrinkle
his brows and worry because he does
not have a dollar ahead. Have you
sufficient for today That is enough;
be happy and of tranquil heart. lfyou
haven't cent to-day, go and cat with
your relatives or your compadre.

The Earliest Standing Army.

The earliest standing army in Europe
was that of Macedonia, established about
1858 B. G. by Philip, father of Alexan-
der the Great 1t was the second in the
world history, having been preceded
only by that of $3.50 iris Pharaoh OF
Egypt, who organized a military caste
about 1900 b. G. OF modern standing
armies that formed by the Turkish
Janissarics was first, being fully organ
lied in 1862. 1t was century later
that the standing army of France, the
earliest in western Europe, was estab-
lished by Charles VII. Rivalry there
upon compelled the nations to adopt
similar means of defence. In England
a standing army proper was first estab-
lished by Cromwell, but was disbanded
under Charles II. with the exception of
few regiments called tho Life Guard,
or Household Brigade.

WHERE SALOONS ARE UNKNOWN.

A gentleman who had spent several
months in Kansas said recently: "The de-
basing effect on children which comes from
a familiarity with liquor saloons, was never
forcibly presented tome till went to q state
where saloons are unknown. Kansas Is
filled with boys ten years old and under who
never saw saloon since they can remember.
They never saw man under the influence
of liquor Being wholly withdrawn from
the sight of it, nearly all of them will have
no more desire for drink on arriving at mans
estate than they will have for opium OF
hasheesh. Though | am not a Prohibitionist,
it really looks to me as If the Kansas people
were doing wise thing in keeping. public
drinking places out of their State. VI course
quantities of liquor does reach the Stare IN
Jugs, kegs and barrels from Kansas city
and elsewhere, but the rising generation IL
not materially affected, for the old fellows
monopolize all the stuff that comes by ex-
press and they are shy about letting people
know they have it. The National Govern,
ment, by the way, is engaged in a very small
business in Kansas. 1t has agents there VINO
sell Government liquor licenses to all who
