THE PORTER'S MISTAKE.

He Wanted to Know Whom He Put Off at
the Syracuse Station.
"Now, see here, porter" said he briskly,
81 want you to put me off at Syracuse. You
know we get in there about o'clock in the
morning, and 1 may oYersleep myself. But
1t is important that should get out. Here's
a S. gold piece. Now, may wake up hard.

Hastily slipping on his trousers, he went
in search of the object Of his wrath and
found bin in the p0rter's closet, huddled

torn and bis arm in sling.

SMALL PARKS.

All Large Cities Should supply Breath
ing Places for the Poor.
Every large city should aim to have one
large piece OF ground for a public garden,
on which the best features of landscape
gardening could be exhibited, but at the
same time attention should be given to pro-
viding large number of small squares
where the poorer people, who cannot spare
the time or the cost to go to the larger
places. may have some opportunity of sit
ting while in the open air, says Meehan's
Floral Monthly. Many of our larger cities
are now engaged In looking after these
small Ter squares.
Philadelphia in its earlier career set apart
some half dozen, which have been highly
appreciated by its inhabitants. but for a
generation or more since these were estab-
llshed 1t has gone on piling up miles and

for the open places. Some five years ago it
woke up to the necessity OF doing something
more in this line. 1t has, however. only
gone so far at present as the placing OF a
considerable number, ranging from one to
twenty acres, OH the city plan. This will
preserve them for parks in the future, but
up to the present time it has for financial
reasons only taken absolute possession of
three of them.
Everywhere. however. as we'll as in Phila-
delphia, the necessity for these open places
is growing stronger every day.

broke out with prickly heat whenever she

it in a cupboard. When she approached it
she began TO SILVER and declared that she
felt the strange prickly sensation.

luth figures gave the market a little bulge
and raised hopes OF a larger decrease, ana
this caused little easier feeling when the
result was known. An offsett1ng lnnuence
was the Signal Service prediction that an
other general rain, reaching as lar as Chl-
cago, will prevail over the West on w eones-
day. The opening for July was es@34c lower
than Saturdays closing, and the narke' Ie-
clined 1sc more, rallied sSc, receded &c,
ruled steady and the closing was about Ac
lower than Saturday.
There was not that selling pressure IN corn
that was expected with the Improvement IN
the weather. A collapse was so generaily
predicted with these conditions snat tne
change was largely discounted. The July
price started on break OF ABOUT i1ac rom 70 m
Saturday, lost another fraction, made q 1alr
recovery at once, and held in narrow limits
the remainder of the day.
For oats, the weakness and decline IN
other grains had depressing effect, ana
opening sales were at 5000 decline. After
prices receded shade more stronger feel-
ing developed and prices advanced E@3sc,
loss of 1s@1ac.
Provisions opened lower on a heavy run
of live hogs ana lower prices, and further
decline was precipitated by the commission
men selling and the weakness in wheat and
corn on reports of fine weather. shortly
afterward the market flrmed up slightly on
a few of the ''shorts" covering. There was
very little doing and the closing was from
steady to firm all around at about the out
side prices of the day.
Vessel room was in good demand, ana
rates held steady at &c for wheat ana l2Ic
for corn to Buffalo, and nc for oats to Port
Huron.
