THE BALTIMORE BELLE.
Is She Always in Perfumed Laces and
 Sparkling Jewels

Is She Always in Perfumed Laces and
 Sparkling Jewels
 I always think of the New York girl as the smartly-turned-out tailor-made girl, the best all-round dresser from strict ly up-to-date standpoint in America, but the Baltimorean comes to the memory adorned with jewels and fine lace, the perfume of violets in the furs about her throat, and upon her luxurious, we'll coiled hair hat or bonnet, picturesque and Frenchy.
 To the qualities of the old-time south ern grand dame the terrapin girl has added the buoyancy and policy of a broad, cosmopolitan life As for her beauty, that has been immortalized many times over. Any old gentleman of Virginia and Maryland. and many oth- CTS. indeed, of other southern states, will recall now, with a flush of pleasure on their wrinkled cheeks, the loveliness of some Baltimore maid. Among these, perhaps the most famous beauties of ante-bellum days were the two Misses Carey, Kettle and Constance, both of them tall women of superb proportions, with great, brown eyes that matched in color the abundant beauty of waving auburn hair.

Various Compounds That Afford Food and
 Drink to Busy People.

Something like new form of the ma lIgnant quick lunch begins to attract at- tention. It is development of the so- da water fountain. Soda water long ago ceased to be the most important drink dispensed at such fountains, sand for some years nourshing liquid foods have been added until now, at length, men minded to make their luncheons light, or to stay themselves for the long inter- val between luncheon and state din ner, find great comfort in the soda foun- tains.
 Clam juice was one of the nourishing drinks earliest placed upon the list of the soda fountain. Extract of beef in va rious drinks that are reputed to be at once foods and stimulants are also dis pensed. Above all, eggs have come to play an important role at the soda foun- tain fresh raw egg, well beaten, is nourishingand easily digested. It is now served in egg -nogg, in coffee, hot or cold, in bouillon, and with several of the so- called phcsphates. At some fountains there are free crackers to be had with the egg compounds.
 The egg phosphates for a long time were alone at the soda fountain, but they never attained a great popularity. Golf fee and egg came later and soon reached great populari 7. The drink when served hot Is topped with frothy spoonful of whipped cream. At busy fountains with only one attendant the cream is kept ready whipped, and whipped cream has become a feature of the milk shops. Bouillon and egg with three or four crackers makes a very nourishing light luncheon for those dyspeptics that be- lieve themselves unable to work after a substantial midday meal
 It is even possible nowadays to make up a luncheon in courses at the soda fountain. It begins with some light hot drink designed to promote digestion. Then comes one of the egg preparations as the main feature of the meal and an ice cream soda or milk punch as des- sert The whole costs 25 cents or less. Persons still unsatisfed may add coffee with whipped cream. This liquid meal is doubtless no more unwholesome than the pie and milk luncheon of some thou sands

BADGES OF MATRIMONY. Ali Sorts of Tortures Undergone by Savage
 Women With Husbands.

Badges of matrimony were worn by all other nations, but tabooed by American women. The Germans wear httle cap or hood, of which they are very proud, and "donning the cap" is a feature of the wedding day among the peasants of cer- tain localities. The Russians are always seen, even in the hottest weather, with a thick cloth of dark hue twisted about their heads. In New Guinea the young woman lets her hair hang about her shoulders but when she Is married thds is cut short.
 Chinese matrons braid their hair like a helmet. In Wadal the wives color their lips by tatooing them with the thorns of the acacia, then rubbing with iron filings. In parts of Africa the married women perforate the outer edges of their ears and lips and stick rows of grass stalks in them, and among certain Mongolian tribe, the Manthes, the women wear sus- pended from the ear little basket full of cotton, to which spindle Is attached. The universal American wears what she likes, regardless whether 1t be matronly or not, and the daughters will select arti- cles suitable only to married women.

 this January, we think 1t may be con-
 sidered a bull feature. Ordinarily Jan

 months show gains. Spot sales in New

 Wheat.
 Ordinarily about one-third our crop

 amount is exported, indicating foreign
 buying equals our surplus be the crop
 large or small Ordinarily 341s per cent of
 our crop reaches primary points before
 January 1, and 70 per cent of primary re- ceiptS reach the markets before January 1. The milling in the northwest has in
 creased largely. Flour stocks are re- ported small Exports of flour have not increased in proportion to the milling
 output. Spring wheat flour is finding a market in winter wheat centers. Chica- go is shipping wheat to Texas mills and seven adjoining states.
 Minneapolis and this city pay higher prices for March wheat than for May delivery. Cash wheat in all markets commands a large premium over futures Ordinarily we export more winter wheat flour than spring flour. This season the custom is likely to be reversed The ap- of indicate the 1895 crop equals that grown in 1884, and visible and invisible stocks about equals those year ago MT. Tho man estimates the amount of wheat In first hands equals 235, 900 bushels against POT 900. 900 a year ago. Export clearances last week were the largest on the crop. The foreign demand the com ing sixty days will likely control values and crop prospects, later on, govern the worlds markets.
 The worlds crop was never larger, quality seldom better. or the American export demand greater. Prices are low CT in Chicago than since the civil war and at consuming centers lower than records indicate. Cribbers are compet- inC more strongly for the growers corn than ever before. Prices in commercial corn states eften rule higher at country stations than at central points, indicat- ing great faith In future values if carry ing charges can be reduced to a mini mum point Speculative sentiment is the reverse of a year ago, and prices about half. .e

 The marketing of hogs continues in ex- | cess of consumption and speculative wants.

Privateering in War.

Chicago CnfOnlcIe.
 In the declaration of war against Great Britain adopted by act of congress in 1872 a clause authorized the president ito is sue to private armed vessels of the United States commissions, or letters of marque and general reprisal, in such form as he shall think proper and under the seal of the United States, against the vessels, goods and effects of the govern ment of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the objects thereof' It is extremely improbable that this congress or the next will be re- quired to pass an act declaring war. But if a declaration of war should be made 1t would contain authority for the presi- dent to commission privateers.
 The right of privateering never has been surrendered by the United States In negotiations between the United States Great Britain, France and other powers in 1854, extending over two or three subsequent years, the subject was fully discussed. The representatives of the United States proposed that all pri- vate property, including ships, should be exempt from capture by the enemy in time of war. The armed cruisers of hos tile nations should not prey on mere com merce, War ships should attack only war ships. Merchantmen on errands of commerce. although sailing under an en- emy's flag, should not be liable to at tack With this condition the United States was willing to agree that priva- teering should cease.
 The nations having large navies re- fused assent to this condition. At that time the commerce of the United States on the ocean was equal to that of Great Britain and greater than that of France and Prussia combined. But the United States had only small navy If they should assent to the abolition of priva- teering their commerce in time of war would he at the mercy of a nation having a larger navy, while they could injure but little the commerce of their enemy. But if they reserved the right to com mission fleets of private armed vessels for ocean warfare they. could infiict as great damage on the merchant marine of the enemy as their own would suffer.

Reed Not an Entire Success.

WaShlngton fOSt.
 The distribution of the chairmanships is likely to cause MT. Reed some trouble in the course of time. Instead of having improved his chances for the presidential nomination the feeling Is that he has played too far the game of presidential politics with his Christmas committee gifts. While it Is admitted that as work ing committees they could hardly be inn proved, there is a great wall among members about, what they look upon as an attempt to make terms with the Platt-Quay-Clarks triumvirate and to ignore and punish those who have not come into the fold. The treatment of Ohio and Indiana is singled out as an ex- ample of the Speakers political short sightedness. The fact that twenty-six states were ignored altogether in the matter of chairmanships is given as ar- other instance. and the fact that several of the faithful who have grown gray in the house ranks were ignominiously turned down is still further advanced as proof of defective political vision on the sneakers part.
