A smREwD CRIPPLED WOMAN.

Marion Foster, the crippled woman so
we'll known in New York and Chicago
as an artist and former protegc Of Emma
Abbott the late prima donna, is now a
clerk in the United States Treasury at
Washington. The manner in which she
got her appointment without going
through the civil service mill was highly
creditable to her shrewdness. She called
on Secretary Foster the other week and
asked for place, but the Cabinet minis
ter assured her that he had nothing to
give but sympathy. She could not ex-
change sympathy for bread, so she ked
for a messenger, and before long she re.
turned to the Secretary's Office with
blank appointment in her hand, and
asked him to sympathize with her by
signing it, The messenger had pointed
out a vacant place as copyist, and she
made haste to go to the appointment
room and fill in blank application for
it. She got it Chicago Herald.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Test the corn before planting.
The best flesh with fowls is secured by
liberal feeding from the beginning.
Hens that are well fed will lay most of
their eggs in the first and second year.
At the start chickens should be placed
where they are to grow up and remain.
Pu in a variety Of crops. Do not de-
pend on one or two either for food or
storage.
Corn for ensilagc should have just as
much care in planting and cultivating as
field corn.
When stock is first turned out to grass
it will pay to continue feeding some hay
for time.
Look out for the corn-worm, and when
it appears take prompt measures for its
destruction.
Look out for the lambs when sudden
showers come. The little fellows are
easily chilled.
The variety is important, but the best
variety can make only poor crop with
poor cultivation.
1t will not pay to pillow the land while
wet if it bakes instead of puIyerzing
when it dries out.
A first cross of any two breeds makes
n good fowl, but the breeding should not
be carried farther
A stolen nest gives full hatch because
it has all the essential conditions neces-
sary for incubation.
Have full understanding with the
owner Of the stallion you use as to terms
OF service, conditions of payment. etc.
A little care now may save trouble here

An Unnecessary II.

During the recent visit If Jay Could,
of New York, and his daughter to Wash

Treasury building. and, OF course, into
the money room. There, as is usual, the
guide gave them the opportunity of
holding 81 ZOO, 900 in their hands. As
Miss Gould held the money the Hibcrnian
guide, who had no idea who the visitors
were, remarked:

REPORTS FROM THE LEADING cESTERs

The past week has developed no new feat
ures in iron and steel lines-certainly no
very promising disclosures. For the past
month or two one week has been about the
same as another. Manufacturers of finished
products stocked up we'll before the coke
troubles began, and are so far able to secure
all the raw iron needed. Most of the fur
naces of the city control their own coke
products to a great extent. and are therefore
able TO keep running in spite of the troubles in
the Connellsville region.
The nail trade is still quiet, and 1t is difficult
to see where there can be any profit to the
manufacturer at quotations
There have been sales at the factories of late
as low as 81 % per keg. The steel rail situa-
tion is unchanged. The Edgar Thomson rail
mill has of late been repaired and enlarged.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
London and Chicago Cut Figure In the
Usually Dull Share Market-The Mar
ket Turns Upon Gold Ship
u,eof Which Eoptipuas

"tHt, which CONTINUES
NEW YORK March 2O-The movement in the
stock market this morning turned upon the
further orders for gold for export made, and
the immediate effect Is to intensity the weak
ness which has been developed in the market
by the prolonged dulness There is yet moth
ing of general interest in the MARKET the deal
ings of any note whatever being confined to
specialties, and to-day selling was for Chicago
and London account, with special pressure
upon the stocks sold by those interests by the
traders.
On the street there is very little positive
opinion as to the future course Of the market,
but it is agreed that while the selling for Lon
don account continues there is very little like
lihood of an advance. and especially when such
selling is supplemented by exports of gold.
On the other hand, there is no disposition
among those who hold the bulk of the stocks to
sell under the present conditions, and there is
verv little apprehension that the dullness will
even be followed by the usual slump before an
advance comes Although one thing after an
other has prevented the expected upward
movement, there is still popular sentiment
that there must come an upward movement
during the spring, and at present the only ag-
gressive bear interest is the room traders. with
some help from the Chicago shorts,
The trading of the day, therefore, presented
the same dullness as usual of late, though the
announcement of the first application for gold
for export made considerable animation dur.
ing the first hour; at declining figures. The
selling movement soon eliminated, and while
there was no recovery the cessation of the
pressure quickly demonstrated where the sell.

AJump in Ross Street Values.

While property values in and about Pitts
burg. as general thing. hold steady or advance
slowly, instances are not wanting of radical
departures from the rule. Here Is an illustra-
tion: Som ething over a year ago the property
of the BaKewell heirs consisting of a lot l6OxS4,
with eight fairly good brick dwellings on Ross
street, running from Water to First avenue,
was sold to Elric E. Clark. for account of
well-known banker, for $4,000. 1t was sup
posed the purchase was in the interest of the
Pittsburg Locomotive Works for shops and
offices, but this was an error. A short
time ago the property again changed
ownership at $4,000. Showing an
advance of s7,0OO or about Is per cent. in a
little over year. The purchase was made by
Mr.. John NJ. Kennedy presumably for George
Denniston. who, it is understood, will sooner
or later, demolish the old buildings and erect
large warehouse, corresponding in size and
elegance to that on the opposite side of the
street. owned and occupied by Wilson, Snyder
& Co. This Jump is a pretty big one for
backward part of the city, and it will give qnite
a forward impulse to that neighborhood, es.
pecially when taken in connection with several
important improvements. besides the one men
toned, that are under consideration.
