Trade Fairly Active. with Lower Prices In
dictated i'm several Articles.
Trade yesterday was very satisfactory In
It's volume, but In several lines lower prices
are likely to rule In the near future. Poul-
try is coming in freely, and prices are
breaking somewhat. Eggs are weak at
Thursdays reduction, and. with milder
weather. fruits and vegetables will drop to
lower level. 1t is unusual for SO high q
range of prices TO prevail on such articles
and the opinion of commission men 10 that
lower figures may be looked for within the
next few days. In coffees the tone is
weaker while sugars have become firmer
and. IN the East. are shade higher The
hide market Is active at unchanged prices.
Leather of all descriptions is firm. Seed
men report trade quiet. the high prices
which have prevailed checking the demand.
The grain market moves along in much
the same rut of some weeks past. One day
the prices will advance slightly and some
interest be shown; the following day all
the advance will be lost and the market
take on y dull. heavy tone. Track bids

FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
WHY MOTHER is PROUD.

Look in his face, look in his eyes,
Roguish and blue and terribly wise
Roguish and blue and quick to see
When mother comes in as tired as can be;
Quickest to find her incest old chair.
Quickest to get to the top of the stair,
Quickest to see that kiss on the cheek
Would help her far more than to chatter, to
speak.
Look In his face and guess If you can
Why mother is proud Of her little man.
The mother is proud-I will tell you this:
You can see 1t yourself in her tender kiss.
But why: Well, OF all her dears
There is scarcely one who ever hears
The moment she speaks, and jumps to see
What her want or wish may be,
Scarcely one. They all forget
Or are not in the notion to go quite yet,
But this she knows, IL her boy is near.
There is somebody certain to want to hear.
Mother is proud, and she holds him fast,
And kisses him first and kisses him last;
And he holds her hand and looks In her face,
And hunts for her spool, which is out Of its
place.
And proves that he loves her whenever he can
That is why she is proud OF her little man.

THE CHINESE SERVANT,
John Often Makes a Very Good Kitehe1
Help.

Help.
1t is very gratifying to the tired
farmer wife to see her husband come
driving up with a Celestial, who. pres
emily having deposited his bed and
valise in the place indicated, comes
into the kitchen, places his little clock
on the shelf, ties on his apron, and pro-
ceeds to investigate his premises. 1t
does not take him long to find out
where everything is, to ascertain the
contents of every jar, paper and can,
and to set about getting the coming
meal. He is very ingenious about his
kitchen, and mends, contrives and in
vents to suit the exigencies that NAV
arise. He is usually teachable, but re-
sents too much interference If dish
is to be prepared which he does not I'M
derstand, he will say: "You makee
this time; me see; me makee him. and
he is apt to be SO delighted with the
knowledge thus acquired as to make it
too often.
In disposition he is generally amiable
and pleasant, but when the kitchen
sky is overcast, it is usually denoted by
O GUINNESS, accompanied by an omi-
nous gathering of dishes and pans,
state which is usually to be counter
acted by little kindness and tact on
the part of the mistress.
He is the friend of the children, and
seems oftentimes himself but child
of larger growth. He takes great pride
in the baby, especially if boy Heap
good boy; pretty soon big man. "-Ssiarie

subsequently deposited in thick strata.
The carnations from this matter add
greatly to the unhealthfulness of the
region.
Capt. Won Donat says that no portion
of marshy ground can be allowed to
remain or the colonists will be exposed
to danger from the aria cattiva." His
idea is not to permit any streams to
come into the marshes at all. He pro-
poses to catch all springs and tribu-
taries from the hills in canals, which
must be carried direct into the sea. He
says it is also necessary to regulate the
flow of the flood water from the noun
tains SO as to spread the delivery over
several days. At present the entire
contributions of a heavy rainfall is sent
into the plains in few hours. One
remedy he suggests is to foster vegeta-
ton on the hills. Another is to erect
barriers at places where the channel is
wide, SO as to hold a considerable guam
tity of water back for some time.
If no foreign water were allowed to
reach the marshes the present interior
channels dug by Plus VI. would be SUI
ficient to drain the now inundated land
in few weeks. The five thousand
acres which lie too low for natural
drainage must be cut off from the rest
of the marshy region by dams and the
water pumped out Capt. Won Donat
says that if the drainage were COM
menced with energy, and with an ade-
quate force of laborers and the neces-
sary plant, it could be completed in a
single winter, and the drainage works
proper would cost less than two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.-N. Y.

and slice of butter. Thicker with
cracker or bread crumbs. Serve in side
dishes.-Housekeepe
How to Dry Sealskin: If one is I'M
lucky enough to be caught in the rain
when wearing sealsl1in, do not try to
smooth it with the hand or rub it dry
with towels, or put it near the radiator
or fire to dry. If it is dried in warm
room it will tiatten, so spread it out in
cool room and leave there until dry
Ohio Farmer
Ham Salad: Two pints of chopped
ham, one pint of chopped pickles, two
hard-boiled eggs. Put two tablespoon
fuls of cream and two beaten eggs into
a double boiler, add one tablespoonful
of mustard, salt and pepper to taste.
When boiled stir in one and half cup
fuls of vinegar. Mix all together when
cold.-Ladies' World.
-Scalloped Eggs: Moisten a teacup
of stale bread crumbs with cream, put
a layer in the bottom of a buttered
dish. Slice hardboiled eggs, and lay
over with butter, pepper and salt. Con-
tinue until the dish is full. Sift grated
crumbs over the top, spread with bits
of butter, and set in the stove until
brown.-Harper's Bazaar.
Apple Custard Pie: Stew either
green or dried apples until soft and not
very juicy. Mash fine or rub through
colander. Take of this pulp sufficient
for good-sized pie. Add two beaten
eggs, one-third cupful of sugar (more,
if the apples are quite acid), nearly one
third cupful of butter, flavor with lemon
and frost as for lemon pie.-House-
keeper.
Boiled Turnips: Pare, slice and boil
white turnips in sailed water. Drain
thoroughly. Add two or three hot,
mealy potatoes also cooked IN Salted
water. Mash fine with wire potato
masher. Add a good piece of butter
and a little pepper. Shape into a
mound, sprinkle little pepper over the
top and serve hot. This is an improve
ment learned of our Swedish neighbors.
Good Housekeeping.
Salmon Salad: Take two pounds of
cold boiled salmon, remove the skin and
bone, break the fish in pieces and put
into a bowl with little salt, cayenne,
vinegar, the juice of lemon and a
tablespoonful of oil. Let stand on ice
one hour. Put crisp lettuce leaves in a
salad bowl, add the salmon, pour over a
mayonnaise dressing, garnish with
olives and serve very cold. Canned
salmon may be used in making this
salad.-Boston Budget.

Really the incest kind of gown for
street wear just now, and a splendid
''stay-by' gown for the summer season,
when we are travelling or visiting the
worlds fair, is tailor-made costume of
black or blue serge, with skirt just
clearing the ground, and loose cut-away
jacket, showing the prettiest of smart
colored silk blouses. A well-cut black
serge tailor-made gown, for instance,
with black figured old rose silk skirt,
with rundown collar fastened with
a duIl-gold stud, and smart black felt
hat trimme d with upright bows of
vieux-rose silk, and tan or black suede
gloves, would make a charming and
useful spring costume, one which could
be worn on the boats later on.
But for modish gown nothing is
prettier than rainbow silk, princess
back and front, only have it tight in
the back and loose in front. No darts
are needed. About the chest and I'M
der the arms pass band of velvet of
one shade that shows in the dress
goods. Let the upper edge only be
fastened down, leaving the rest of the
band free from the gown. In the mid
die of the back and front slit the band
so it will spring apart. Now, from be-
meath let a heavy fall of lace drop to
about the hips. The fullness should
show especially at the split front and
back. Nothing could be more simple
or more effective. The gown opens I'M
der the arms, but at the first glance it
would seems as if it had no opening at
all.
A charming design for trimming the
silk skirts is that of succession of mar
row ruff1es to the knee, pinked, and
caught up in festoons by knots of vel
vet the color of one shade in the silk,
the upper ruffle having a heading of
folds and butterfly knots. Stirring on
stiff cords is used on thin silks and cot
tons. The cords are in close-set groups
of six or more, making perhaps an inch
wide band, and the goods is drawn upon
them at the waist, around the yoke, at
the wrists at the head of ruffies, and
SO on.
A handsome black silk may be
changed and freshened by vest and
panel together with collar and cuffs of
cream-white ottoman silk striped with
fine white cut jet, and when the whole
costume is sponged and pressed it is
transformed past all ecognition.-Chi-
