Encouraged by Higher Prices for

New York. April 20.-American Railway
stocks were quoted on the London Stock
Exchange today at a material advance on
the local cI.,Sing, and encouraged by this
circumstance the New York market opened
at recoveries, extending, in many cases,
beyond one point, notably for the foreign
listed shares.
The declines in European government Sc
curities were not accounted severe, in view
of the weight that has been attached to the
foreign political situation, and the wheat
market on the curb trading also reacted
sharply.
The opening of the market was very
animated, large blocks OF stock changing
hands. Soon after the opening fractional
recessions took place, which still left prices
well above last evenings closing figures.

stand upon its side or be folded up. Its
great advantage is that, after baby has
had its bath, the water can be emptied
out, the valve unscrewed and the air
released from the pneumatic interior.
The tub can then be rolled or folded up
and put upon the shelf until next bath
ing time.
The rubbertub is considerably lighter
than a wooden one, and can be taken
away for the summer, when baby goes
to the country. If need be, it can be
used for family foot tub in summer
districts where personal comforts are
scarce.
A mother who is watchful of baby's
comfort makes the little ones bed at
night in its soft depths when visiting in
regions where baby's bed cannot be
carried.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

ROSE JAR SWEETS.
Two Recipes for Making Fragrant
and Spicy POtpourri.


Gather fresh rose leaves in thorough
ly dry weather and place them in
large, covered, glazed, earthenware jar,
Between each layer of leaves sprinkle
some common table salt and cover up
the jar tightly after each layer of leaves
is put in, it. Do this throughout the
summer. The rose leaves will sink and
allow of a great quantity being put in.
When the jar is full let it stand for
about fortnight, then thoroughly
squeeze the leaves from the salt with
the hand, and add the following: One
ounce each of storax and benzoin, two
ounces of orris root and one ounce of
allspice-all these to be we'll powdered;
one dram each of bergamot, oil of cassia,
and oil of lavender, and two ounces of
cloves. Mix all these ingredients well
together and thoroughly incorporate
the same with the rose leaves. Fill
large china jars. Lavender may be
dried by itself and added to the rose
leaves; also sweet-scented petals of
the white jasmine, orange flower
blossoms, and other flowers. But these
must all be simply dried in the sun and
mixed with the rose leaves before the
scent is added. If these directions are
carefully followed the result'will prove
most satisfactory.
Good Housekeeping gives the follow
ing directions for filling rose jar:
Take two quarts of fresh rose petals,
gathered before the sun is on them,
their fragrance being stronger in the
early morning, anda gill of salt. Toss
the rose leaves lightly, for one hour to
dry. Sprinkle salt on the bottom of a
large bowl, add layer of rose leaves,
then salt, and so ON until all are used.
Let them remain three days in some
apartment free from sunshine and I'M
disturbed by the wind, stirring and
turning twice each day. Add an ounce
and half of dry allspice and half an
ounce of stick cinnamon, broken into
pieces. Let this stand for week, STIR
ring daily. Put into a permanent jar
and add the following Ingredients: One
ounce of orris root, sliced thin, half an
ounce each of allspice, cloves, cinnamon,
ginger root, sliced thin, one-fourth
pound of freshdried lavender blossoms,
the rose leaf stock, one grated nutmeg,
one-fourth ounce of anise seed, five
grains of finest Canton musk, half an
ounce of oil of rose geranium, one
fourth ounce each of the oils of jessa-
mine, lavender, lemon, verbenn, musk,
violet, rosemary, and bergamot.
This mixture is warranted to be fra
grant, and if the Jar is kept tight will
last for years. though from time to
time a little lavender or orange-fower
water or any nice perfume may be
added. When it is desired to perfume
room, open the jar for little while,
and the apartment will soon be as fra,
grant as a garden of roses.
