with preponderance of common stuff on
the market. The quality of the offerings
were inferior to those that sold yesterday
The prices today are quoted steady and
everything in the yards, with the excep-
zion of some late arrivals, sold. The de-
mand for stockers and feeders and butch
ers' stuff of good quality is strong and
will sell readily.
The ouotatiors mere presented are TO give the
81 PIPER an idea OF the general range OF prices. The
various classes AID grades sell within the limits OF
these quotations according TO the quality OF offer
ines and the state Of the daily markets These quo
tafions ar only changed when there has been a
permanent change in the general market The

usw England Cities Make the Best show.
ing Because of Public Spirit.
The cities of Worcester, Mass, and
Syracuse. N. Y, illustrate generally the
differences between New England and
Middle states city government In 1856
the two cities were nearly equal In pop
ulation. They are both manufacturing
cities, situated in the interior. and sur
rounded by agricultural communities
In 1880 Syracuse had 90 miles of streets,
II "a miles of which were paved The
annual cost of maintaining these high.
ways was about S35. 600. For the same
cost Worcester maintained 1917 miles 81
streets, all of which were paved.
The water works Of Syracuse were
owned by a private corporation. those
Of Worcester by the city. Syracuse had
no parks unless a small square or two
may be thus dignifed: Worcester had
about thirty-tive acres Of parks The
drainage system Of Worcester was much
more elaborate and perfect than that Of
Syracuse. While il cost Syracuse from
$4,000 20 So, 600 a year to clean its
ninety-two miles of streets, il cost
Worcester only g 800 to clean its 1917
miles Of streets.
The police force of Worcester was
larger and more expensive than that OF
Syracuse. On an expenditure Of S1O4,.
SOC the New York city maintained
eighteen schools, in which were taught
about 1000 pu pills; the Massachusetts
city maintain thirty-six schools and
Instructed 800 children for SI39, 722

stm He Couldn't stand Prosperity and
Killed His Golden Goose.
I'm bet that ! can tell the date on
any quarter or half dollar which you
can produce, said a man the other
evening in a barroom not > thousand
yards from the New York end of the
Brooklyn bridge.
A dozen patrons looked up anxious
TO take the bet offered.
Not the exact date, - interpolated
the young man. ''but within two years
of it,"
Even at this he had many takers,
although he made the condition that
he should have a chance to look at the
coin. tail up, as it lay upon the counter.
One after another the men produced
coins of the denominations mentioned
from their pockets and bet the young
man fifty tents a crack. He made no
attempt to read any ones mind, but
simply scanned the eagle on each coin
with special care and then called the
date, being within two years of it nine
times out Of ten, and very often hitting
IL exact.
When he was about ten dollars ahead
Of the game the young fellow was good
natured and proceeded TO explain his
trick to the crowd, which was only too
willing to listen attentively.
You see" said the man, who in
sisted on killing his golden goose,
that this coin" pointing TO a quarter
which lay tail up, has a kind Of scroll
over the eagles head. This being am
old coin, you can't see anything Of the
scroll. but | think there are the words
e Pluribus Unum' on il.
ANY way. whenever you find n quar-
ter or a half dollar with that scroll
e the head Of the eagle you can bet
considerable Doodle that the date Of
the coin Is 1876 or within two a Of
IT, You will slip up occasionally, but
you are sure to win four times out Of
five, unless the other fellow knows the
game and has loaded up with a lot Of
coins which you don't meet with in gen
eral circulation.
Now, If that same quarter did not
have that scroll above the eagles head
you would be safe in calling the date
1856, making the same allowance that
you should win If you were within a
couple Of years Of the exact date.
But II the coin had no scroll. but
showed a kind Of blaze or a lot Of fine
feathers ~showering down from the top
Of the coin over the eagles head aud
wings, you would want 10 shout aloud
that the exact date Of the piece wa
1853, and bet a house and lot that YOU
were right too.
That is all there is 20 the trick by
which | won your money. except, Of
course. il "A man showed me a coin
which showed on its face that il had
just left the mint would be fly enough
TO say something about 1890"
If you don't believe the young mar
told the truth just watch your own
quarters and half dollars. New FORK

The Secret of Keeping Ones Temper.
A merchant in Alexandria had a dis
pute with a fellah, as a peasant is called
about the settlement Of an account.
The merchant was determined to bring
the question TO the court, 70 which the
fellah objected. Desiring to make a
last effort, the fellah called at the mer-
chants Office one morning and asked
the V if his master was in. The
merchant. hearing the inquiry and
knowing who it was, called aloud from
the Office:
Tell that rascal that I am not in"
The fellah, looking up toward him,
calmly said:
well sahib. God PIT thee in a bet
ter mind"
The merchant was struck with the
meekness of this reply, and having
looked more carefully into the matte
be became convinced that the fellab
was right and he in the wrong. He
sent for the fellah. and after acknowl-
edging his error he said;
II want to ask you one question.
