Exchanges at Seattle clearing house today
amounted TO sls3,57I.5a- The balances were ssS.-
Ss.6 Following is the record by days:
Total for the week

This Is s97,ess.ei less than the aggregate for
the previous week and $2:59ss So less than that
Tor the corresponding week last year.
The week has brought no material change in
the financial situation. Trade has been up TO
the average, though somewhat short of what it
was year ego. In fact, merchants have become
reconeiied 10 the belief that it would be more
than marvellous should the phenomenal bust
ness done in the city las; season have continued
for any great period of time. The whole vos-
ume OF business has not decreased from hat il
was year since, but larger number of BUSH
hess houses have been established and coinpeti-
ton increased so that the effect on any one firm
corresponds to o falling OH in business
In the East money has become quite easy and
but few complaints are heard here about its
scarcity for discreet, legitimate investment.
There were six failures in the state during the
week, reported at Bradstrcsts local Office. They
were as follows.

Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1891-03-28

The New York physicians have been
considering some of the provisions of
the code which governs them, and they
have come to the conclusion that those
which forbid them from advertising
special cures, and which denounce inter
views in the newspapers by physicians
as derogatory to the dignity of the medi-
cal profession, serve no good purpose,
and that they are rather absurd than
otherwise. 1t is to be hoped that their
professional brethren in other parts of
the country will agree with them.
Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1891-03-28

The state of Texas owns and carries
ON a sugar farm, the labor being sup.
Piled by convicts. The Legislature of
that state recently passed bill accept
ing the two cent bounty provided for in
the Mckinley bill for sugar produced in
this country. This action appears to
have displeased Governor Hogg, who
has vetoed the bill, taking the ground
that a bounty is essentially corrupt, that
it takes the money of one class of citi-
zens to give it to the others, and that it
is without the authority of the constitu-
ton. For these and other reasons less
cogent the bounty is spurned by Gov
ernor Hogg.

ADVICE FOR HOUSEWIVES
What to Say When Your Husband Prais,
Your Cooking.

| What to Say When Your Husband Praises
| Your Cooking.
How often you and have heard gen.
tlemen blandly and magnanimously re-
mark that woman looks more beauti-
full and more desirable when delicately
preparing some dainty in the kitchen
than when drumming her guitar in the
parlor How shallow those men are, or
else how shallow they consider us. Do
we not know that they speak thus
straight from the palate, and never
from the eye or the heart? Once had
q sister-in-law who loved mince pies,
but who detested the making and the
baking of them; so she used to say to
me, with the most soulful and lamb-lilxe
expression in her eyes: so, you do
make the most delicious pies ever ate
Now, can't make them good for any,
thing. And, beside"-and here she
would assume a positively envious ex-
presslon-"you don't know how pretty
you look with your sleeves turned up
| and your kitchen apron on and your
hands fiuttering over the f1alSy crust, {"
and she would sigh until fancied she
was dying of envy. May be forgiven,
Tor was very young, but actually be-
leved her. And the result was that she
| AS'S1Su Al pics Oh max
ing, and was on the high road to dyspep-
STA, when one day overheard her telling
friend with little hysterical shrieks
| of mirth, how she was flattering me. so
she would not have to make the pastry.
Well, that was ten years ago; and 1
would believe some things then with
| my eyes wide open that you could not
get me to believe now with them shut
and one of them is that you or I look
more desirable gowned in a work apron,
| with our cheeks burnt scarlet and
blisters on our arms, than we do in
cool, soft silks, smiling into somebody's
eyes, in the parlor. If it be necessary
for women to do their own work, / like
to see them do it cheerfully and light.
heartedly; if they can afford servants. I
like to see them keep steady hand and
calm eye on the work in the kitchen.
but do not wish to hear any man tell
his wife that she looks better In the
kitchen than she does in the parlor.
That means simply that he appreciates
her more as cook than as a wife. So,
dear, If your husband ever SAYS that to
you, smile at him like an angel and re-
ply: eyes, sweetheart; and I think
you, too. would look more desirable
and more manly carrying up coal, in a
flannel shirt and blue overalls, than go
ing to the opera in a dress suit and a
white canellia." See how he relishes
that, dear.-Ella Higginson, in West
Shore. -e.- =, -

HE Italian government will probably
pass law to prevent able-bodied males
from leaving that country, unless they
have first served a term of years as
soldiers. The government is alarmed
at the increasing stream of emigration
that is setting toward the new world
from the dominions of King Umberto.
AS large proportion of those who
leave the land of their birth for the
United States, the Argentine Republic
and elsewhere, ARE young men, the army
authorities at home are beginning to
find that the exodus is causing a
scarcity of available recruits. Italy's
military burden is so heavy that she can
hardly hear it, if she is to lose the flower
OF her rising generation. With a popu-
lation of thirty millions, she has an
army of 100000 regulars, with reserves
