THE CINCINNATI IRON MARKET

CINCINNATI, O., March 23.-The im proved demand for iron continues, and being entirely void of any speculative fea- lures it would seem to indicate that there is a larger melt throughout the country than for many months past. The volume of correctly described as large. It compares favorably, indeed, with corresponding months of the heavy years of 1890 an 1892. The surprising thing is that with al the buying there is scarcelysa sign visible of betterment in prices. The eagerness to sell is as great as ever, and the market is at the bottom in all forms of crude iron. This indicates fear that the improvement in demand is but a. temporary spurt, to be followed by lull later on. Whether this will be the case one man can foretell quite as well as another. It is noteworthy, how ever, that the underlying conditions are all a little more favorable, and that the sentt- ment of some of the most far-sighted men at the great centers--New York and Chi
 One very significant feature is the hard- ening of money rates, showing larger de- mand in all parts of the country. This was ascribed at first to the large amounts of money required to pay for the portion of the recent bond issue which remained on this side of the Atlantic. Later events, however, would prove that the hardening of rates is due to a genuine improvement in the demand for money from the mer- cantile and manufacturing interests, and that the funds are needed for increased pay rolls and enlarged operations. The surface indications have not seemed to con- firm this view, but continuance of the demand from the same sources is at least significant.

At tho Church, odense.

The Odense people arc not enthusiastio churchgoers. A mere handful of worship CTS are here, and most of these have 1axen pigtails pendent upon their backs. Tho hymn meanders dplly on it's way, rousing no echoes from tho picturesque vaultng above you. Then tie pastor, pale, fed haired gentleman. dignified by spectacles and a ruff, asoepds tho swelling Louis Quinze pulpit, and you are at liberty to sit down apd subtly take in the scene
 The church is some dye or six centuries old, of early Gothid work in bfick. That does not perhaps sound very attractive. But you should sec with what taste they have painted the brick. The eye really en- joys tho pale pink and ocher, the palo green and lavender hpes and zigaags and foliatlons about tho aisle windows and the more assuming designs in the vaulting If only the windows themselves were of stained glass, this church of St. Canute would be majestic as well as beautiful.-.

The Normal Shaped Foot Is tho Handsom-

 "Tbe nearer the normal shape of our feet VIC wear our shoes, says a veteran shoe man, tho better. If our feet have been distorted by improper shoes, the shoes should not conform to the distortions, an atomical shoefnakers to tho con trary not. witbstanding, but shopld be made tho correct shape, but of sufficient sjzo to al- low for and to accommodate the distor- tions. so that the feet will have chance or opportunity in tho shoe to come back to their normal shape. The exercise of walk. ing in correct shaped shoe will bring a distorted foot back to Its normal shape, provided tbe dist9ytion has not been of too long standing The moro we walk in an i'll, shaped shoe the moro distorted our feet will become.
 "The normal shaped foot, no matter how large it may be, is far handsorner than any distorted foot, no matter how small. In the normal shaped foot the pha- langial bones of each toe lie ip a straight line with the metatarsal bones of the foot, to which they are respectively artioulated. And straight lines drawn lengthwise through tho pathological bones of each toe and the metatarsal bohes to which they are respectively artiouIated and backward will all come oht at onb ond the same point, the center of the heel, and radiato from that center like spokes from tho hub of wheel What is wanted Is good flt and shoe that conforms to the natural shape of tho foot.

WOMAN AS TEMPER.
The Talmudio Legend of the Fall of Man
 and It's Results.

and It's Results.
 Tn the old Talmudio legend of the gar den of Edenit was not satan who tempted Eve in the guise of serpent. It was the sorceress Lilith, Adams first wife, who took this method of ayengng herself upon her successful rival, at the saifie time pro. viding endless torment for Adam, by show. ing his now wife how to acquire knowl. edge For she was perfectly well aware that a woman's first ss a self con. soious, thinking being would be to desiro new dress. To bo sure, this new dress was only q simple arrangement of fig leaves quite inexpensive and really be- coming to Eve's peculiar style, but it con. tained In the germ all tho subsequent atrocities with which womens attire has so often cursed tho earth down to the com mbination of yards of sleeves and acres of crinoline
 So, according to the Talmud, from the earliest days woman has been wom. ans betrayer and In our modern times the subtle art begun by the fair and un- scrupulous Lilith is being practiced on an ever increasing scale.
 One aspect of this has been set forth in a clever article in The Fortnightly Re- view by Lady Jeune on the important subject of shopping, in which she main- tains that one reason why women spend more money nowadays than before is be- cause salesmen have largely been supersod- ed by saleswomen ''Women are much quicker than men, and they understand so much mole readily what other women want They can enter into tho little trou- bles of their customers; they can fathom the agony of despair as to the arrangement of oolors, the alternative trim mings, the duration of fashioh, the depths of Q woman's purse, and, more important than all, the question as to the becomingncss of a dress. No man can understand all these little refnefnents His nattire is too gross, too material.
 In the Heavenly Twins it is said that man was tempted by woman, but it took the devil himself to tempt woman. How much deeper is the insight of the Talmudf For it is evident that when any tempting Is to be done whether of man or woman, the 'eternal feminine" leads the feld-- St. Louis Post Dispatch

Latter Day Luxury.

If luxury goes on increasing as it has done for tho last few years, fortunes will have to do likewise, for even now, in order to be ''in the swim, people must spend an amount of money which 20 or 30 years ago would have been considered Q fitting revenue for a small kingdofn. Din ner partiSs have become mattefs of capital importance which cause sleepless nights both to the lady of the house and to her chef if things arc to be done 'en benne forme. Balls and receptions are affairs of state, and the most informal O clock tea necesstates semipjncely outlay for bonbons, cakes, fruits, liquors, champagne cup and "doucenrs" of all descriptions. It seems as if the modern hostess could hard ly invent enough refnojrerts. in so far as tablo dainties arc concerned. .--Philadel phia Times

AIlAT IS THIS DISEASE CALLED DYS- .PEPSIA2

Like thief at night, it steals in upon us unawares. The patients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes iu the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like heavy load on the stomach; sometimes faint, all-gone sen- sation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. Eyes are sunken; the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After awhile cough sets in, at hrst dry, but after few months 1t IS at- tended with greenish- -colored expectora- tion. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is giddiness-a sort of whirling sensail n in the head-when rising up sud denly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood be- comes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine Is scanty and high colored, deposit- ing sediment after standing.
 There is frequently a splitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste and sometimes with swedish taste; this Is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling oi SIodb auQ Wedkuoe5. All Oi these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our popu- lation has this disease in some of it's varied forms. It has been found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this dis ease. Some have treated it for liver com paint, some for dyspepsia, others for kid ney disease, etc.. etc.. but none of the va- rious kinds of treatment have been at- tended with success.
 Now the Shaker Digestive Cordial causes the food eaten to be digeated. This will caase an appetite for more food, and this being digested will result in an increase of strength, au increase of flesh and an in- crease of nerve power.
 The tired, weary feeling will give way to vigor and courage. The pale, thin and emaciated will recover their color and plumpness, because red blood and fat are the result of properly digested food. A trial bottle will produce result. Its good effect will be realized at once. You will not have to take dozen bottles to find out if 1t is doing you any good. Try it., sad then give praise to the Shakers Of Mount Lebanon, New York, for the relief that you obtain.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

Dr. B. D. Gray was in his pulpit at both services morning and evening. Good congregations were present on both occa- sions. The music was good and added very much to the services. Both of Dr. Gray's sermons were full of power and deep thought. The congregations were much benefited by the many truths brought out.
 For ths morning service Dr. Gray took his text-First Timothy, iv, 16. "Take heed unto myself, and unto the doctrine, continue in thsm.'
 Paul, writing to Timothy, the young preacher, resident iu one of the most culti- vated and one of the most corrupt cities of the world, warns him as to the danger of such an exposed position. Itis fitting that consecrated, earnest ministers should be placed In these great cities. They are needed there. The noble Chrysostom, the greatest preacher since Paul, found hls fitting work in a great city.
 There evil and strong temptations are to be confronted and overcome, and the best and bravest are needed.
 Timothy is cautioned first as to himself. Paul knew the temptation. not only of a city, but those that are incident to the life of young man-the need of purity 10 his life, and warns him with tender fraukness.

The Cumberland Presbyterian church was we'll filled at the morning service yes- terday. The pastor, Rev. R. D. Wear, took for his text Johnsv, 13:
 'These things have written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eter- nal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.'
 He said: You can see at a glance that my subject is "Christian Assurance. This language was spoken, or written, in pastoral letter to the churches in Asia, where John for thirty years had much to do in preaching the gospel of Christ. His theme was ''rhe Christ is Jesus" It seems that there was and must have been a guessing and uncertain set of Christians in these churches. John endeavors to plant their faith upon the sure word of God. He tells them how they may know that they are Gods children. He tells them that love for Christ and the brotherhood is an evide nee of the fact that they were born of God, and that His seed was in them. Ho gives them the simple formula of faith as 10 what they must do to be His children, and so simplifes 1t that they must either declafe God false or else make false state-
