fhers was Turn for the Better Yesterday
 on the Stock Exchange. Hft

on the stook Ehchango'
 New York. Oct. so.-There was turn for the better at the stock exchange to-day The coaiers at the start were firm. an inquiry to cover short con- tracts being noted. especially in New Jersey Central and a recovery of # to 1A per cent. followed. Before the expiration of the first, hour. however. the selling was renewed with vigor and Jersey Central fell 2ls to s0h. Del aware and Hudson to 11s% and Lacka- wanna # to l5s. Funding that the attack on these shares was less suc- eessful in bringing out long stock, New York Central was taken hold of and sold down to s7%. Lake Shore also dropped 2 points on light trading to l30h. The decline in New York Gen. tral bringing in London buying orders. the selling ceased and the stock ral- lied to 9sA,
 The strength of sterling exchange helped those operating for lower prices In the stock market, as 1t gave rise to rumors Of gold exports later in the week. Sterling, however, closed easier owing to marked falling off in the de- mand. With the cessation of the liqui- dation in the coalers, the shorts showed more disposition to cover in other parts of the list.
 The scarcity of stocks in the loan crowd and the high premiums for bor- rowing purposes. coupled with little buying of strictly investment issues by commission houses. stimulated the upward movement late In the day. Jersey Central rose to 931a@92@92B, Lackawanna 1% to 157%@156%, Dela- aware and Huson 2A to 122. Lake Shore 1A to 1924, Manhattan 1k to 107A, Chicago Gas 1A to "A, St. Paul a to 60%, Burlington and Quincy B to 72%, Rock Island x to 60s. Reading x to 17k, Western Union 4 to S7, Louisville and Nashville # to 53A, and General Electric 11s to S5A. Panhandle preferred dropped 6 per cent. to Al on the passing of the dividend.
 American Sugar was tolerably steady until the last hour, when, a promi- nent bear broker. sold the stock down 1% to S4ss. The selling mystified the street and opinion was divided whether the broker had been employed to mar ket long stock or whether 1t was for the short account, The general list closed firm and quarter to one per cent. higher. The coalers gained ss to 2 per cent. on the day. Sugar. lost 1% and Panhandle preferred per cent.
 Railroad bonds were firm and higher although business was less active. The successful placing of the Canadian 8 per cent. loan in London, the issue having been subscribed to five times over at an average of STA is the latest illustration of the demand existing for first class bonds. Sales were $912,OOO

Explosion of Whitehead Tordedo.

Explosion of Whitehead TOrdedO.
 An accident, unique in it's character, so far as. Is known to the naval au- thorities,. occurred yesterday in Caw- sand Bay, a little to the westward of the entrance to Plymouth Sound. The bay Is used frequently for exercise of the torpedo boats attached to her Ma jesty's ship Defiance. the training-ship. A .torpedo-boat was practising yester- day with a fourteen-foot Whitehead torpedo The motive power of White head torpedoes is compressed air, con- tained in strong steel chambers, and the direction of the torpedo after leav- ing the boat is governed by an irsula- ted electric wire. About noon torpe- do was sent on its errand from the steam tender Confiance, and obeyed it's steering gear until within. a dozen yards of the shore, when it came to a sudden stop. Almost Immediately af- forwards itresumed its course with re doubled speed, and, the steering appa- ratus apparently becoming deranged, the torpedo dashed with great force upon the rocks, about three hundred yards from Cawsand village. It ran up the outlying rocks, and seemed to make a spring into the air. As 1t fell a tre- mendous explosion, resembling the dr- ing of the heaviest artillery, was heard. The air chamber offl the torpedo was shattered into inp,imerable fragments, which were hurled to a great height and to long distances, some large pieces being found four hundred yards away. There were a,good many fishermen and others on the shore, and several of them had very narrow escapes. as also had the children of a local school just dismissed. A piece of metal eighteen inches long passed close to a man named William Mathew. and embedded itself in the ground Everywhere with in two or three hundred yards frag- ments of the torpedo were scattered. one of them weighing fourteen pounds. The torpedo was not loaded with gun cotton. ias t would be when in use in active warfafe The. cost of q White head tofpedo is about f5oo. London \ iReGs " 'ss v Sss S < ss.'3 ssss

Remarkable Deal i'm Dentistry.

A most remarkable story of deal
in dentistry is going the rounds. A
bankers firm in London the other day
made an investment in teeth which
was highly satisfactory, and in which
the money flowed the other way. 1t
seems that an ancient swindler, who
had cheated them out of some money,
was caught, convicted and sentenced
While in prison he wanted a new set
of teeth, those he was wearing not be-
ing all that could be desired in dealing
with prison fare. The governor of the
Jail told him that the Government did
not provide false teeth for the prison
ers. Accordingly he wrote to the
bankers and told them that if they
would provide him with false teeth he
would give them some valuable infor
nation. They sent him $25, he got
his teeth, and in return he sent them
information that led to the finding of
$1,000. All i'll all, it was good in
yestment. Detroit Free Press.

WINTER CUTTINGS.

In the winter time cuttings from
shrubs and small fruits should be
made for early spring planting. In
this way trees and shrubs can be
greatly increased in numbers, and
new, large orchards can be given an
early start without any expense other
than the labor required to make the
cuttings and plant them, Currants,
gooseberries and ornamental shrubs
should begrown upon nearly all farms
The various methods adopted by
florists to increase the number of their
shrubs and trees are all simple, such
as the soft wood cuttings in the green
house in the winter and layering in
the summer, but the hardwood propa-
cation in fail or spring is the method
that should be considered ut this time
of the year. If the cuttings are to be
planted out in the spring they may be
made any time this winter Where
winters are severe the planting shoul I
never take place until spring, but
where the weather is not very cold it
does not matter much whether the
paintings are made in the fell, winter

IRRIGATION AND TREE CULTURE.

The necessity for tree culture is
equally imperative with irrigation,
and the arid lands question will never
be satisfactorily settled without the
recognition of this principle in it's
solution. America can ill afford to
ignore the experience of other Nations
in this respect, and forestry should
receive equal consideration with irri-
cation.
1t has been estimated that within
historic times some seven millions OF
square miles along the shores of the
Mediterranean, once highly fertile,
have been changed into worthless
deserts, and for nearly two thousand
years the inhabitable portion of the
earth has decreased at the average
rate of $500 square miles. This has
been produced by the direct agency of
man, the evil being chiefly due to
river floods caused almost exclusively
by the destruction of land protecting
forests.
1t is right that America should set
the example of retaining desert
lands, and thus increase the earth S
capacity for supporting the human
race. Irrigation and tree culture
must go hand and hand in this work.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS,

A cup of cocoa makes very refresh
ing drink after one has been shopping
all the afternoon.
If, after brushing the coat or gown,
it is sprinkled with spirits of camphor
and aired a few hours, it will be tidy
and graceful. Garments and belong

cleanest and most agreeable.
One can test a cakes baking by
drawing it to the edge of the oven and
listening for the faint, sputtering
sound which will continue until it is
ready to take out. This is better
trial than the broom splinter thrust
into the dough.
There is II false economy, which
costs more than it returns, such as
saving old medicine bottles, partially
used prescriptions, the tacks taken
from the carpet, or working days to
save or make that which can be bought
for few cents.
Here is the correct way to stone
raisins: Free the raisins from the
stems, and then put them in bowl
Cover them with boiling water, and let
them stand for two minutes. Pour off
the water, open the raisins, and the
seeds can be removed quickly and
easily without the usual sickness
1t is rumored that glossy hair is to
become the prevailing style, and to
produce the effect many things are re-
sorted to. Brushing the hair at night
will make it shiny, and it is said that
soft silk cap worn at night will do
the same. First of all, however, the
hair must be kept perfectly clean and
free from oil or dressings"
Kitchen dado of linoleum is super

Bread Making Machines.

In the manufacture of the bread
making machines of the last few years
the great object has been to obviate,
as far as possible, the handling of the
dough. The materials themselves,
having sort of life impaired to them
in the process of fermentation, require
entirely different treatment from that
to which other materials are subjected,
while necessitating machinery of
powerful construction to obtain
thorough and rapid mixing and the
stretching and folding motions essen
tial to the increase in elasticity of the
dough and the development of the
gluten in the -four. An improved
machine possessing all these features
has been constructed. Its various
movements are controlled by the turn
of a hand wheel. In the working of
the mixers the materials are brought
from each of the four corners of the
receiving trough to the centre of the
machine, incorporating the -four and
liquor thoroughly by evenly intermix-
ing them, but without rubbing them
against the side of the trough. The
machine has two speeds - one for
breaking the sponge and for quickly
mixing the materials, and the other
for the kneading operation. The gear
ing for producing these speeds is actu-
ated by means of hand wheel, which
acts quite Independently, without
stopping the machine. The arms of
the machiae upon one side are made
to act in the opposite direction to
those upon the other side, or to work
in the same direction by the simple
movement of hand lever. The trough
can be tilted while the beaters are
either in motion or at rest All the
shafts revolve in split gun-metal bear
ings, and the kneading arms are pro
vided with cone bearings of special
construction. The gearing and work
ing parts are carefully covered SO as to
prevent any danger of accident while
working the machine. Chicago Rec

The camel is good soldiers
Ii may be stupidity and it may be
bravery, but a camel is as steady under

small cannon on the backs of their
camels, and called them zamb-wahs or
''little wasps. This fashion was
adopted in India, and after the battle
of Sobroaon 200O of these artillery
camels were captured. In the Indian
mutiny the British had camel corps
of $50 beasts and on the back of each
camel sat n Scotch Highlander in his
kilt In 1916 Sir Charles Napier had
n camel corps in Sindh, and in one day
he. marched seventy-five miles, de-
feated a brigand chief and marched
home again. In 1878 the British used
camels against the Afghans and the
Government paid for so, 600 camels
that died in those campaigns. Many
of these were driven to death by their
owners in order that they might claim

Fatten your sheep before selling.

Fatten your sheep before selling.
Turkeys fret if confined to coop.
1t will never pay to feed poor COWS.
Have the colts thoroughly broken to
harness when young.
Give the young pigs all the skim

Cleanliness is as necessary to the
sheep as food and shelter
The less water there is in butter the
fewer odors it will absorb.
Quality rather than quantity should
be the motto of all breeders.
Narrow door and gate ways are
frequent causes of capped hips.
Milk set to cool where smells exist
absorb such odors very readily.
small flock of sheep, we'll cared
for, is source of continual profit.
Clean stables will add much to the
health and comfort of your horses.
The usual time for weaning is when
the foals are four or five months old
Too much corn is the source of many
of the disorders to which hogs are sub
ject.
The winter dairy brings in an in.

receiving very little from any other
source.
A little wheat chaff scattered on the
floor of the poultry house will keep it
dry and warm, besides forming an ex-
cellent litter for the poultry to scratch
in for the grain which should be scat
tered about daily.
1t is just as necessary to give proper
development of bone in the hog as in
the horse. When the hog is being
made ready for market he has an
amount of flesh to carry that cannot
be well distributed upon weak
frame. Give such food and exercises
as will build bone before the fattening
period begins.

New Solution of the Tramp Problem.

Salem has originated novel scheme.
With the citizens of the capital city
the tramp problem is on fair road
toward being solved. A huge rock
pile has been formed on the vacant
ground just south of the intersection
of Liberty and Ferry streets. A large
shed has also been built. Hammers
are in abundance. Hereafter when
aid is asked for by the tramps they
will be referred to certain we'll
known firm, who will issue to the
tramp or tramps ticket admitting
them to this rock pile free of charge.
Each of these tickets will be signed by
the person issuing it. At the pile is
stationed man who is overseer and
who collects the tickets issued. When
the tramp presents his ticket at the
pile he is supplied with a hammer and
obliged to put in his best licks on the
rocks. After an hours labor, the time
designated by the board, the overseer
signs the ticket and the tramp is en-.
titled to either bed or meal.
