seriously from the appearance Of tobacco.
In many grades prices were decidedly
lower. owing much 10 the circumstances

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.

CHICAGO. March 3L-Wheat opened
strong and higher, with all the appear
ance OF continuing so throughout the
day. Within the first half hour the sup
port was not as encouraging as In the
Immediate past. and many Of the late
BUYERS let 20 their holdings, hoping 10
get them back again at lower prices;
Later in the day the market developed
undOubted weakness. May opened ~
G07sc., sold between 6lis and GOc. and
closed nc. under yesterday at O1sH6l4c.
Corn was unquestionably dull, inactive,
trading in a desultory manner. and We're
taking their cue from the action OF wheat.
Prices were confined within very narrow
limits, and no profits were made In priyi-
leges, which sold practically at the same
figures as yesterday. May opened at 1850
and closed unchanged from yesterday, at

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 3l.-The stock
market, with the exception of brief
spell OF weakness shortly after IL o'clock,
when Chicago Gas and American Sugar
Refining ran off about point. was strong
from start to finish. AS n rule. the high
est prices OF the day and week were re-
corded in the final transactions, and the
dealings were both animated and well
distributed.
The feature Of speculation was the fact
that the demand covered a wider range
than usual, both the investment and nom
dividend-payins stocks sharing in the
Improvement.
The bulls displayed great confidence and
accorded their specialties effective sup
port. They received no little encourage
nent from the renewed inquiry for both
stocks and bonds for European account,
London at one time having taken about
lOo0 shares Of ST. Paul. Louisville and
Nashville, Atchison, ontario and Western,
and other shares. The belief obtains In
banking circles that the inquiry Is the
direct result OF the veto Of the Bland
seicniorage bill, and this win lead to buy
ing on a larger scale before long. The adj

Many of the related plants of this
genus are ANIMALS, but horse nettle is
deep-rooted perennial, its roots often
extending three feet or more into the
soil This fact makes it very tena-
cious weed, very difficult to exter-

grows in dense patches, which arc
carefully avoided by stock in pastures.

this time, allowing none of the leaves
to appear. The plants should be kept

She was by all odds the prettiest girl

THEY ARE MEN AT TEN.
The Boys Have But short Childhood In
Corea.

In Corea the boys are called men as
soon as they reach the age of ten. They
receive their final names at that age,
and assume the garments of full-grown
men, all except the horsehair hat, which
they cannot put on until they have
passed through period of probation.
Permission to wear the horsehair hat is
the final act of transforming the small
boy into a real, sure-enough man
though he doesn't look it.
Such a short childhood may, at first
thought, possesses a charm for boys in
our colder climate. But it will he
quickly understood that making boys
into men as soon as they are old enough
to feel that they would like to be men
is not wise idea. The Ccreans, al
though possessing a certain degree of
queer kind of civilization, are rot a
people to be patterned after. In Corea,
if young mans parents are not rich,
he can never hope &c become so by his
own efforts. And, If ne isnot member
of noble family he can never hope 10
reach an exalted position. As for cour-
age the Coreans have never shown
much of that. The Corean men are
not in themselves good argument for
brief childhood.

The quantity of ashes that should
be applied to the acre must depend on
the soil and crops cultivated. Potatoes,
turnips and all roots-cloyer, lucern,
peas, beans and the grasses are great
exhausUers of the salts, and they are
consequently much benefited by ashes.
They are used with decided advantage
for the above crops in connection with
bone dust; and for clover, peas aud
roots, their effects are much enhanced
when mixed with gypsum. Light soils
should have a smaller, and rich lands
or clays heavier, dressing. From IL
to Is bushels per acre for the former
and 80 for the latter is not too mich;
or, if they are leached, the quantity
may be increased one-half as they aai
with less energy.
