Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Mott, widow OF George b.
Mott, on Friday celebrated her one htndredth
birthday at the Mott homestead in Hackensack.
She is in full possession of all her faculties and
received her friends and relatives for over four
hours. The rooms were decorated with flowers,
and the centenarian received in a chair as old as
herself. Mrs. Mott was born on Mulberry street,
near Chatham, in New York city. Her maiden
name was Cox. Representatives of five genera
lions were present at the celebration. Two
daughters are alive. One is seventy-four and
the other seventy-one years Of age.
The first shad of the season was caught by
Captain Charles Smith, of Salem, while fishing
for rock and perch Ia the Delaware River last
Wednesday, 1t weighed three pounds.
Here is another reason:-The first shad of the
season was caught at Elsiuboro Point on Mon
day, January s, 1890, by Fetters & Smith. There
is no record that a shnd was ever caught SO
early in the year in the Delaware river. Last
year shad nets were drifted in the river off
Pennsgrovs and a caught ON the
18th of january, and this WIS considered phe-
nomenal.

Trade Prospects for 1900.

The New York Press has a well in
formed article this morning on the
business outlook which offers great
encouragement to those who are en-
gagged in legitimate trade. 1t is adj
mitted on all sides that times are bad
for spectators. Orders are small and
the tone OF the business community is
conservative. Z,
But If orders are small, they are
numerous, and collections are reported
in all directions as sound. Many
railroads reported increased earnings
in 1889, showing a healthy movement
Of material. All the reports from the
interior show encouraging indications
Of business activity, with good prices
ruling. as
The Press cites as examples of the
state of trade several leading cities,
as follows 3
Boston-Demand improved.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. feeling hope

Pittsburg-Business and collections

tive; collections improving.
st. Paul-Money easier; trade pick
ing up.
Memphis-Trade revived; collec-
tions improved.
New Orleans-Market easier; bust
ness largest on record; collections sat
isfactory.
1t is interesting to note that the
great centre of Southern trade gives
the most confident response of all.
But it further appears that money
is pouring into New York at a very
rapid rate. This is in n way a very
healthy sign, 1t seems to indicate
that, even though retailers may COM
plain the business fortunes Of the year
were, in the main, favorable to the
Metropolis. OF course 1889 was not a
boom year. 1t is doubtful if it ran at
all above the average. But it was a
fairly progressive period, and the
balance is doubtless handsomely ON
the right side Of the profit and loss
column.
Now 1890 opens under somewhat
changed auspices. There is a conf
dent tone in business circles. Popu-
lation has overtaken the speculative
ventures OF the last two or three
years and new enterprises are pro-
jected. The vicinity of New York
shows especially rapid growth and
there is every reason to hope that a
year Of very solid prosperity is begin
ming for wholesalers and retailers
alike. The railways certainly look
for an increased volume of business
and are pushing preparation accord
ingly.
TONIGHT the Legislature will reas
semble, but it is hardly probable that
much business will be transacted.
The festivities Of tomorrow will cast a
bright shadow-to adopt a Hiberni-
lcism-before them, and we rather
think there will be too much jubila-
ton in the air for the conduct OF
serious affairs, Tomorrow win, OF
course, be a Legislative dies non

The Rev. ID. M. Hancox, pastor of The

A Dainty Cat.
George Fair, OF the Haymarket
Theatre says:-"I have a tiger cat, a
pug dog, seventeen gold fish and
forty Canaries. The dog is the most
submissive of the lot. He has been
licked SO many times that his tai
won't curl. Ever see a pug dog with
the curl taken out of his tail? I've
got one. But the cat is the boss.
Mrs. Fair is verymuch attached to the
cat. l wanted her to sell the eat, or
let me bring it down here, or kill 1t
anything to get it out OF the mouse;
No, sir, she wouldn't have IT. SAID
the cat could stay in the
bo,,aa . Jon~ a Sbe did One
day she went home and found
a lot of feathers on the floor, and the
cat asleep on top of the piano. The
cat had eaten the canafy-seyeral
canaries. / said to Mrs. Fair, Il guess
the cat will go now,' but she said no.
For two or three days we noticed that
the cat didn't eat anything. he re-
fused beefsteak, mutton chops,
whipped cream, and all of the dain
ties. He had tasted the canaries,. and
nothing but canary would satisfy him.
So we raised canaries now to appease
the cats appetite. The dog eats the
bones and the crumbs which fall from

is one of the processes adopted for
their manufacture:-Fine calcined or
roasted quartz powder, well ground
huorspar, china clay and a very little
oxide of tin are very intimately mixed

made into a soft paste with water.
This paste is poured into moids OF

allowed to set. The plastic grinders
are then transferred to a furnace,
where they are "cureds-tilat is, half
