 NEW YORK, June 10.-As far as the local stock market was concerned to-day, 1t was still chiefly the covering of shorts which reflected the real change for the better in the financial outlook The demand from this quarter, however, was heavy enough to cause general and sharp ad vance and buoyant close; the most noteworthy feature being it's continuance, at a stiu more rapid rate, after the publication of bank state. ment which from Wall streets point of viow was bad.

The emergency arose at the opening of this week, when the panicky collapse in the Chicago wheat market made New York exchange almost unstable.

 The Glass Prophecy and va1edictory Addresses by Miss Smith and Hiss Sperry.
 The following is the class prophecy by Miss Edith Virginia Smith, which she read at the graduation exercises of the West Haven union school:

II is one comfort that financial strin.
gency hasn't boarded up and hidden
away all the peaches and melons. The
quality as to most fruits is hardly mp
to the customary mark this year, and a
good many apples fail to attain their
customary size and flavor. Even the
tomato is inclined to indicate little
falling off. The watermelons are good.
II the market does not show quite such
huge ones as a few of the big southern
melons seen here In most years at this

abundant and the quality good.
The only criticism IL that while they
were probably harvested and sent north
at the customary time not all of them
for some reason have fully and complete

many of the sweetest will be found a
streak or two of unripeness. But this
criticism does not apply to all. Some of
the southern melons are as sugary as

The Cat In Ancient Times.

The cat was so very highly regarded In
England at one time, both as n rat and
mouse catcher, and as an ornament to
society, that we find the following saln-
tary law passed by one of the princes
of Wales:
'If any one steal or kill Cat that
guards the Princes Creamery. he is to
forfeit a mich Eve, its Fleece and
Lamb. Or, as much Wheat as, when
poured upon the cat suspended from its
tail, with the head touching the floor,
would form heap high enougbt to cover
the tip of the former"
Though the Welsh had high opinion
of the cat, the ancient Egyptians had a
still higher. These intelligent and civ
ilized people treated cats with great dis
tinction. 1t was crime to kill them,
and when they died they received pub
lie burial, at which the people mourned,
having first shaved off their eyebrows as
q token of sorrow. The most prominent
cats We're upon death embalmedin drugs
and spices, and cat mummies have been
found side by side with those of kings.
When Cambyses, the Persian, attacked
the Egyptian city of Pelusis, he cunning
ly provided his soldiers with cats in
stead of shields. When the host ad-
vanced, the Egyptians retired in confu-
sion upon discovering that they would be
unable to do damage to their enemy
without seriously imperiling the lives of
vast numbers of cats. And 80 the city
was taken easily and without the loss of
blood or of cat. 1t cannot be disputed
that the ancient Egyptian cats must have
enjoyed life very much.-St. Louis Post

There Is n lobster farm, or pound, as 1t
is called, 12 acres in extent Mt Southport,
Me. This pound is the most successful
on the coast, whence 1,000,0 900 Holsters
are shipped each year. The pound Is
formed by building n solid dam across n
tidewater cove. This dam does not quite
rise to high water mark, bat across the
top is placed fence of iron rods, per-
mitting jaily change of water and pre-
venting the Holsters from escaping. In
the spring and fall business is most brisk.
When the fishermen bring the Holsters
TO the pound, the "fish," as they are
called, are hoisted to the dam, measured,
and those which are more than 10i
inches long, the legal limit ARE thrown in.

seine and packed in barrel, with piece

The seine is made Of stout twine and Is
weighted at the bottom with heavy
chain. Along the top Is row Of corks,
which sustain the weight of the seine
while the chain drags on the bottom of
the pound.
A single cast of this seine will bring
up Holsters enough to fill II barrels. The

most come the landed proprietors and

Women Ask For n Severe Penalty

In consequence of the alarming in
crease recently in this state Of felonious
assaults, the action of the women of the
Christian Temperance union in Chester
county in preparing a memorial to the
next legislature, asking that the grade
Of that crime be advanced to capital
one, will pretty generally be commended
throughout the state. In some respects
the crime is more atrocious than that of
lifetaking. Regarding 1t in this light,
the present laws providing punishment
for felonious assault are totally made
quate, and it would seem eminently
proper to change them so as to increase
the possible but not necessary penalty.
It is the sentiment that the laws do not
properly meet the Nervousness of the Of
fense that has much to do with the
alarming increase in the number of
lynchings in other states.-Philadelphia

Slow Compliance with Law.

Few of the railroads have yet taken

last March regulating safety appliances

The number of cars at present fitted with
automatic couplers is something over

cars, $4,000, in round numbers. Accord

bers. It does not follow. however, that
the first group Of figures-the number of
cars fitted with automatic couplers-
will remain untouched by the new legis-
lation, for uniformity must be observed,
and consequently a large proportion of

yankee Doodle"

The tune Of yankee Doodle" has had
seven or eight treatises written upon it
in the last 30 years, ascribing it to vari-
GUS dates and origins, even back to The
Netherlands and the days of Cromwell
and the Charleses. DR.. George Grove of
London, author of the Dictionary of
Music and Musicians" has investigated
thoroughly the various musical libraries
and the British museum in England,
finding no traces Of it whatever, thus ex-
ploding all the mystical, traditional and
apochryphal accounts thereof.
But Yankee Doodle" had an origin
and has a history. 1t was written by
DR.. Richard Schuchburg, whose COM
mission dates 1887, in the French and
Indian war Of 1865 under General JEFF
frey Amherst and was intended as a
take off" on the rag, tag and bobtail'
recruits of the colonies that came into
the army. 1t "took" so well, however,
that the Americans have ever adopted it
and would not part with it for anything.

Economy In Foot Wear.

The neatest and most economical pos
sible foot wear is low cut shoe of a
special pattern to be worn with CATERS
to match each dress. This style of foot
clothing has many advantages. The low
shoe is easily aired, and the inner sole
will retain the odors of the feet with the
neatest of persons if not properly aired,
especially when one walks much. The
gaiter breaks the apparent size of a large
foot and forms very attractive finish
when matched to costumes.
Skirts rubbing against the front of
high kid boots will wear the seam, while
the lower part remains in perfect condi-
tion. Caters, upon the other hand, can
be changed as soon as defaced and worn
with the same boot. Many pretty CATERS
are possible for different occasions and
styles Of dress.-Jenness Miller Monthly.
