Wool Mnrkct ReXiexY.

BOSTON, Dec. 4.--The American Wool and
Cotto Reporter viii say tomorrow Of the wool
trade: Notwithstanding the occurrence of the
annual Thanksgiving holiday, which is usually
OF such trade might otherwise be available
in such period, the sales in the three principal
markets have amounted to 6.i64.10O lbs. of which
25iS.9 800 lbs. was domestic wool, including fair
proportion Of medium pulled. Fridays and Mon
days cables indicate that prices in London are
very firm. If the finer grades of Australian
combing and clothing We're in supply here they
could not be sold at profitable price al
present quotations. The position OF the domestic
wool market is. from most points OF view, reason
ably strong. The situation in the goods market
presents no new feature and nothing more definite
can be predicted concerning the outlook for thy
season. whose advent are more calmly await
ing than was possible a week ago. The cables
last week. on the whole, occasOned an agree
able disappon ment to at least one third Of the
trade and on Friday the foundation was laid for
considerably more trade tan had appeared pos
sible for fortnight anterior to the opening Of
the November December London series. The
sales of the week have amounted to 2.3Tl000 lbs.
Of which l29S 900 lbs. domestic and LOS, 900
lbs, foreign woods The sales since January. 1898.
have amounted to 1S910l 6gO lbs, against 13i, $685.

A Siberian Temperance Society

The oldest temperance society in the
world is the sustaining commune Of
Achlyka, in Siberia, all of whose men,
bers are strict teetotalers every day in
the year except one. Regularly on the
first day of September. year after year.
all the adult members Of the co immune
assemble in the parish church. and
every one takes solemn VOW before the
altar to drink no wine, beer or spirits
''from the morrow" OF the following day
for whole year. The clause "from the
morrow" is introduced in order to give
them a reward for their virtues in the
shape of whole day Of drunken carni-
val. AS soon as they leave the church
they begin to indulge in horrible Bac-
chanalian drinking. which continues
throughout the day. until neither man
nor women in the village is sober. This
is naturally followed by considerable
physical suffering, and then by mental
remorse, whereupon the penitent parish
enters upon it's twelve month of model
sobriety, and all live like the Rechabites.
Some students imagine that this pro
ceeding may be prehistoric tribal GUS

MISTAKES OF NOvELISTs.

All novelists and writer's make slips or
blunders in greater or less abundance.
but it is among the lady novelists that
the most frequent and amusing plumbers
must be looked for, and in "Ouida's
works they abound with greater fire.
quency than in the works Of any other
living novelist. In one of them will be-
found horse winning the Derby three
years in succession; guardsmen sitting
up all night drinking hard, smoking per.
fumed cigarettes, gambling for fabulous
sums, and starting forth in the morning
after breakfast of ortolans and green
Chartreuse, fresh as daisies and pre-
pared to do deeds OF prowess in the
hunting field or at the covert side; and
that great feat, too, performed by man
with "tawny moustache and TANKS like
greyhound" o,while snipe shooting,
espies an eagle, "a dim speck in the
ethereal vault" What cares he that his
cartridges only contains tiny snipe-shot?
He bangs away with unerring AIM and
slowly the king of birds. with his glor
ious pinions outstretched, sinks at his
feet corpse" In another of her books
gentleman performs similar feat, but
this time, for the sake of variety, with
rife bullet. Mr.. Walter Besant, in his
novel "St. GATHERINGS by the Tower"
speaking OF the river side inhabitants.
says, "They go to church but three times
in their lives.-when they are baptized.
when they are married, and when they
are buried" 1t is only people in novels
who go to be buried during their lives.

on's Mines made an eclipse of the moon

the full. when the earth is between the
sun and the moon.-Pedrson's Weekly.

In these modern days, these days of
electricity and cable cars, dash of mild
adventure and sensationalism in litera-
ture is most acceptable to the jaded and
enervated natures of the "effete East
tired of the eternal culture and refine
ment of life. The conventionalities OF
this world seem to rise like granite walls
to right and to left of us, and confine US
to a few decorous movements in the
straight and narrow path" of rectitude,
and we often feel the spirit Of the Old
Adam rising within us till we long for
the freedom to expend some OF our sur
plus physical strength without regard to
the consequences.
Mary Hallock Foote is in no sense
writer of narrowing tales OF battle, muir
der and sudden DEATH" nor are her
stories soggy with blood like some of the
Western tales which are offered us, but
her characters have certain free and
easy manner about them; they accomp
lish their ends by force preferably. where
we would use Establishments. The at
mosphere of her work has plenty of
ozone, and the fresh prairie breeze seems
to blow straight out of it. The lawless-
ness is fresh and agreeable, devoid of
malice, but trifie picturesque. like
comic opera pirates. A perusal of her
books does not give one the feeling of
having attended a psychological clinic.
The early life of Mary Anna Hallock
was passed at Milton Hudson.
the homestead of her fathers family for
generations. At an early age she was
sent to New York to study art. having
early manifested considerable talent in
that direction. At that time the only
art school of any magnitude and stand
ing was the School of Design in Cooper
Union; and here she worked and studied
under the guidance of DIR. Rimmer.
somewhat eccentric individual, but

opportunity of drawing for firm of

Origin of JingO.

A correspondent Of the Boston Herald
recalls the origin of the word lingo"
now so widely used on both sides of the
Atlantic. Some years ago at the time Of
the Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria ESQ
wildly described and so vigorously re-
probated by Mr.. Gladstone.) the advisa
bility of English Intervention WIS agi-
tated by large war party, whose MEM
bers we're OF all shades of political
opinion and joined forces only on this
one point. There is no public question
in England that does not sooner or later
get into the songs in the music halls.
and SO one OF the most popular singers
of the day wrote ditty, with these lines
for a chorus:
ave don't want to fght but. by ingol If We
do.
We've got the men. we've got the ships we've
got the mo .ey. tool"
This song was received by the patrons
Of the music halls with every iemonstra-
ton of enthusiasm, and the refrain
quickly found its way into the news
papers. An anti interventionist journal
one morning eontemptuousy referred
editorially to the extremists as "jingo-
lists" The word was not long afterward
heard on the floor OF the House OF Com
mons, and quickly thereafter took its
place in the popular vocabulary, being
presently simplifed into limoges"

Selected Articles.
OFFICIAL AND ARTIFICIAL
CHARITY.

Careful observers long ago discov-
cred the fact that official and artifi
cial charity caused mendicity, just as
railroads create their own business.
But what was for years the knowl-
edge of the few is rapidly becoming
the wisdom of many. Nor should
the truth be thought disheartening,
for it does not call for less but still
more real charity. 1t means not the
cessation of human endeavors, but a
change in their methods; not less Civ
ing, but giving of different things,
and things of higher value. 1t
calls not for mans money SO much
as for the man himself.
The scorn of Aims.
There are thousands upon thous-
ands of sore-pressed neighbors whose
only security against sinking into the
slough of self abandonment is their
invincible scorn of aims. 1t is one of
the most admirable qualities of the
respectable poor; the support of a
beautiful fortitude. How deplorable,
how cruel, to destroy it! The truth
that looks SO stern has been fruitful
in blessed works. If pauperism be a
degeneracy of heart or body, its rem
edies become apparent. What are
the causes which incapacitate our
previously wretched mendicant broth
ers and sisters, ignorant of what really
ails them, from taking part in our
ordered and diligent social life?
Does one need to ask? Go to the
slums and read the story of a single
child life there; it il an epitome of all
pauperism. He came into the world
with bad parentage. He has no
heritage of character. Far from being
a thoroughbred, his stock is in no
wise graded; only untamed scrub;
and blood does tell-bad blood as
well as good. From his cradle, his
tissues laden with impure blood have
been sluggish and perverse, and do
not build sound structure. On his
moral side, he has been lulled to
sleep from infancy amid oaths and
obscenity. Neither cleanliness nor
order has suggested self-respect to
him. His school is the street; trade
he has none; he consorts only with
those who are as animal as himself.
This is the situation to day of thous-
ands of children in our great cities,
and thousands more endure some
thing approaching it. What sort of
citizens can come from such anteced-
ents?-Jdcob "A. Riis.

CHINESE SECRET SOCIETIES.

1t is probable that the Chinse secret
society concerned in the massacre of the
English missionaries at Whasang, and
called in the dispatches La Kao. is really
the WI Wei Keiou, said to be the sue
cessor of the White Lotus, and having
its centre about Nankin. 1t was this
society which, four years ago, stirred up
the revolt in the Yang tse Kisng region
by posting and distributing anonymous
placards and circulars accusing mission
aries of stealing children in order to
sacrifice them, and OF bribing magistrates
to escape arrest. Its members are strict
vegetarians. and are eaid to be inhenced
by religious considerations more largely
than are other societies. a fact which
may account in part for attacks upon
missionaries in the provinces in which
it is strongest.
All the Chinese secret societies are,
however, hostile to the existing govern
ment, though organized for every con-
ceivable purpose. and as they are prac-
tieally numberless, no thorough under
standing Of the existing situation in the
celestial empire is possible which leaves
them out Of the account. The greatest
of these societies. so far as known, is the
Tien ti-Hwey. or league of heaven and
earth. COMMONLY called the Hung
League, which has for its aim the de-
struction of the existing Tartar dynasty.
and to which branches as widely sepa-
rated as Australia and New York regu-
larly contribute. The league claims
great antiquity, though it probably took
it's present form about 1864, twenty years
after the Tartar conquest, existing before
that date as an unimportant religious
society. Its motto is the overthrow Of

Then came her first real novel, 1.-THE Led
Horse Claim" which won immediate
recognition for the young author artist.
Then came John Bodewin's Testimony"
1.-THE Last Assembly Ball." and then
THE Chosen Valley" treating of the
new West; not the West of the murder
GUS Indians and the dashipg cowboys.
but rather the West of irrigation and
agriculture. Her last long story. Occur
d'Alene," is thrilling tale of labor
troubles among the miners which ended
in the calling out of troops to put down
the riot Mrs. Foote sees with an artists
eyes, and her word painting is the work
OF the possessor of artistic perceptions
of high order. To her as to few is the
color scheme of a landscape or the pict-
uresque side of wild life apparent.
Emerson says: Mature enhances her
beauty to the eyes of loving men," and
Mrs. Foote is perfectly at home in de-
plotting nature either with pen or pen
Gil.
The literary resources OF that great
country west of the Mississippi are still
abundant; the influx of new life and the
changing of conditions all make admir-
able material for the author. while
mountain torrent, lofty peak and roll
ing prairie offer great inducements to
the artist to initiate and copy that
beauty of nature which is perfection.
With all these taken into consideration
then, it would be strange indeed il with
such opportunities Mary Hallock Foote
did not further enrich American litera-
ture, which is already 30 much her

wATTERsON's ADDRESS AT
LOUISVILLE.

At the Grand Army Encampment
at Louisville last week Henry Wat
terson. the famous editor of the Cour
Ter Journal, made welcome address
which was splendid effort of oratory.
1t was received with rapturous ap-
plause. The speaker himself was
overcome with emotion, and men rose
in their seats and cheered, and threw
hats, fans and handkerchiefs in the
air. We reprint the notable address,
and the Hymn of Peace, delivered by
James Whitcomb Riley, on the same
occasion.
