Indoor Tennis.

Indoor tennis, says an admirer of
tennis, "has received little recognition
in this country, which is in marked
contrast to the interest shown for it
across the water. No facilities whatever
are offered by the numerous athletic
clubs of America for this branch of the
game. Last year,. for the first time in
the history Of tennis i'll this country, an
indoor handicap Tournament was held.
The tournament succeeded in more ways
than one The discovery Of so many
young players of decided promise was a
point for those who wish to see tennis
become a permanent sport in this coun-
try. This game, far more than any other
sport, demands that one should begin
playing at an early age. if any great de-
gree Of proficiency is expected. Proper
tionately there are probably as many
young players in this country as in Eng
land, but with the exception of the ex-
perience gained from practice and tour
nament playing, their training is left
entirely to themselves. Exchange.

Roll the Roads.

Experience has shown that the way
to preserve stone roads is to roll them
after rains with steam roller, or where
that is undesirable with heavy horse
roller. The steam rollers can be bought
for about $4,000, and the expense, if
each township owned and operated its
own roller, would be slight. Weak
bridges are sometimes an obstacle, but
it is certain that, without rolling at the
proper time, the best stone road is
bound to be destroyed by the sun, wind
and wear and tear.

eyes from glare and dust and preserves the

points that will never be settled, of course,
although there are certain sorts of wells
that everybody will join in heartily con-

COMING FASHIONS.
BOdices For Young Girls-Greens and
Puppies In Various Shades.

Modistes are beginning to desire some
change from the too well loved bolero and
are exerting all their ingenuity in devising
some other kind of bodice that shall yet
show guimpe or chenlisette, for it is the
opportunities afforded by the bolero that
give it its vogue-the opportunities of dis
playing full fronts Of thin silk, mousseline
de sole or lace, which are universally be-
coming. Every effort is being made to
keep the bolero alive. 1t is slashed, en-
broidered with gold, silver and steel,
adorned with applications Of guipure,
trimmed with revers of another color and
ornamented with lace and plaitings.
Among the new bodices are some espe-
cially appropriate for young girls. These
are full from the waist line to the height
of the corselet, where they are cut into
straps, which are Of different lengths, &C
cording as they extend to the collar the
shoulder or the armhole. These straps are
enriched by borders Of passementerie, en-
broidery, lace, guipure, whatever decora-
ton the fancy dictates. Black embroidery
much in favor just now, is thus employed
Next seasons preferred colors will be a
variation on those Of the past one. Mauve,

DAILY ROUTINE.

General Harrison Writes OF "a Day With
the President at His Desk"
Ex-President Harrison has written of
"a Day With the President at His
Desk" for the March Ladies' Home
Journal. The article is said to be sin
gularly interesting in the detail with
which it describes the wearisome
routine Of the president. 1t is said
that General Harrison, in this article,
has delivered himself with great direct
ness and vigor, relative to the annoy
ances that are visited upon chief ex-
ecutive by persistent office-seekers, and
he suggests unique plan, by which
the presidents burdens in that direc-
ton could be greatly lightened, and he
be enabled to devote more attention to
more important matters. A feature of
the article that will have timely in
terest to those ambitious to serve the
country under the incoming admins
tration, describes very fully how the
president makes appointments to Office.
"a Day With the President at His
Desk" is unique in being the first time
that the daily life Of the president has
been described by one who has filled
the exalted Office. Articles upon the
social and domestic life of the presi-
dent by General Harrison will follow in
successive issues Of the Journal.

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and 10
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, In order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II In the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins , Company's Review
Of Trade.

Downing. Hopkins Company's Review
The declining values for American
wheat and flour during the last decade
and half can be traced to known causes.
The increased competition in supply
ing wants of importing countries BY
Russia, India, Argentine and Australia
account for the major portion OF the de-
cline in values. The still further re-
duction in values can be accounted for
by the decreased cost Of production,
owing to improved machinery and to
some extent by the decreased cost OF
transportation and smaller Intervening
charges between the producer and con-
sumner. The extreme low range OF val
ues during the last two crop years was
due largely to widespread commercial
disaster, consequent panic and lessened
purchasing power. The present specu-
lative contention is that vital changes
have taken place in the known condi-
tions which have produced previous low
values. To begin with, India is no
longer competitor Of America in the
wheat export trade. Famine at home
has stopped her exports more efectually
than war or it's attending blockades.
The Argentine Republic, at one time a
serious competitor, is suffering from
two succeeding crop failures and her ex-
portable surplus no longer exerts any
depressing influence On values. Austria
liza, owing to crop failures, has become
an importer instead of an exporter OF
wheat. Only two remaining countries
possess exportable supplies of wheat
America and RUSSIA condition that
cannot be changed for more than year
to come. Russian advices, always un-
reliable, still indicate that less than
the usual amount of wheat is available
for export. American supplies are
known to be far below the average OF
recent years. In France the crop pros
poets are far below those Of the proceed
ing two years. If we grant for the
sake of argument (and it cannot be re-
futed), that excessive competition dur
ing recent years has decreased wheat
values, the the present conditions war
rant return in part, if not wholly, to
the normal range of prices before such
competition depressed values.

HORSE POWER.

The horse has wonderful muscular
power, but will suffer great deal at times
with nervous attacks if not properly
groomed and stabbed This illustrates that
great deal Of neuralgia is caused by inn
prudence and results from shock from cold
to the nervous organism in parts most ex-
posed to the cold. Hence, neuralgia is SO
often an affection Of the head, face and
neck, as they are frequently badly protected
against intense cold. The use of warmth
as an antidote is apparent, and the warmth
to the afflicted part impaired by the use OF
St. Jacobs Oil, together with the soothing
influence of the remedy, lull the pain and
quickly restore a good healthful condition
of the nerves, curing even the worst cases.

others. The discussion was over the
motion to postpone it's readings and to
indefinitely postpone the bill. Owing
to the close vote and the absence of
seven members, it is believed an effort
will be made for reconsideration, and
that there will be another lively fight.
