Electric Bltters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need OF tonic and alter
alive is felt. A prompt use OF this medi-
cine has often averted long and perhaps
atal bilious feyers. No medicine will
act more surely IN counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial poi
son. Headache, Indigestion, constipa-
ton, dizziness yield to Electric Btters.

Our RosrOn Letter.

BOsToS, March %. 1897.
The stock market during the past week
has been rather dull and uninteresting
with downward tendency. The public
does not seem TO care TO speculate; in
TACT, no inducement il of red to attract
outside business which comes into the
market oaly when prices are ad eancing
and there is prospect oil making turn
or the long side. The professional ele-
rnent are in control OF the market and
the fluctuations are narrow as result.
However, the professional traders would
5e glad to see the public coming into the
market and would join the procession in
q ball movement il al adequate leader
could be found to take the initiative.
The absence OF any positively good news,
while not likely to produce bearish im-
gpressions, makes il difficult to arouse
any bullish enthusiasm and the unsettled
condition OF the foreign market on ac-
-fcunt OF the Cretan troubles keeps the
bears fairly well supplied with amuni-
lion. One fav orable factor, nevertheless,
and one previously mentioned in these
letters, is the absence OF gold shipments
which usually occur at this season OF the
year. Last year at this time some &c.
900, 900 in gold had been shipped to Eur
-oDe from this country. Our favorable
trade balances this year are responsible
for the fact that no gold has gone abroad
as yet, and it il worthy OF note, also.
that the prices received this year for our
grain exports are better than last year
at this time. As to the war in Europe, it
would be good thing for this country.
What il would lose in the interruption
OF trade would be more than made up by
the demand OF the foreign countries for
our food products, metals for manufac-
turing munitions Of war. etc, etc. Then
again the political atmosphere OF the
old world would be cleared in the settle
1nent OF the troubles concerning GrH ce
aud Turkey and there would be lees dan
ger OF another outbreak for years to
come.
The copper market shows no outward
'~igns OF life and quotations for the metal
are nominally unchanged from those OF
the past month. Lake ingot is holding
at 11x@Z cents and the mining compan-
'ses appear Indifferent TO offerings OF out
side copper, which. however, must he
small. The exports Of the metal con-
tinue satisfactory, although not quite I'D
to the recent maximum. Notwithstand
ing the large quantities OF the meta
which have been sent to Europe during
the past year, the visible supply there
shows constant reduction, indicating
an enormous consumption. Ia this coun-
try, the increase In the output OF copper
is keeping pace with the increase in the
demand, 90 that the price of the metal
is not affected thereby. That the price

Color Tints.

1t is interesting to know the real
meaning of the various color tints with
which we are familiar today. The ma
jority think the titles are bestowed hap
hazard, but it is not So Each one is
traceable to a well defined origin. For
instance, mastic, the fashionable gray
tan shade, is named after the mastic
tree which grows in Greece, the gum Of
which it resembles in color. Blue black
is in honor of the charcoal that comes
from the vine stock. India ink is made
from burned camphor. Scarlet is iodine
of mercury. Chinese white is zinc. Tur-
key red is made from the madden plant
that thrives in Hindustan. For indian
yellow we are indebted to the camel,
and for sepia to the cuttlefish. The lat
ter is an inky fluid the fish discharges
when attacked in order to make the
water Opaque. The vivid crimsons, car
mines and reddish puppies are all fur
nished by the cochineal insects. The
beautiful prussian blue is achieved by
fusing horses hoofs and other refuse
animal matter i'll a strong solution of
potassium carbonate. Vermilion is from
the ore cinnabar, gamboge from the
yellow sap Of a tree in Siam. Blister is
the SCOT of wood ashes, and raw sienna
is the natural earth from the vicinity
of Siena, Italy. TIMBER is also an earth
found close by Umbria. Table Talk.

A Chinese secret Society.

The Chinese secret society the Ko-
lao Hui, which is answerable for so
much of the antiforeign agitation, ex-
ercises perfect terrorism over its mem
bers. One of the rioters at Wusuch was
tortured to try to extract the names of
the ringleaders belonging to the society,
but nothing could be wrung from him.
my life, he said to his judges, sis
forfeited in any case. If 1 tell you the
names the Ko-laos will kill me and the
whole of my family and wipe my name
off the face of the earth. If / remain
firm, you will kill me, but the Ko-laos
will take care of my family"
These terrible organizations recruit
members in a very unscrupulous fash
ion. One way is for man to 60 round
the various kitchens selling cooking
utensils and telling each purchaser that
he need not pay till he has proved the
wares-perhaps not for year, only he
must sign the peddler's book.
The next day the peddler calls again
and shows the unlucky cook that he has
signed the membership roll of secret
society and henceforth must consider
himself at its service.

The Decay OF Literary Taste.

Edmund William Gosse, who holds
the position of translator to the British
board of trade and is the 'clerk lectur-
er in English literature" at Cambridge,
in writing on the present decay of liter
airy taste SAYS: "Ihe only hope for lit
erature is that i'll spite of the indiffer-
ence to-nay, the positive dislike Of
careful writing on the part of the pub
lie, those who write, being themselves
artists or artisans, shall continue TO
give TO ,hsir projections this technical
finish which alcEo invests it with dig
nifty. 1t is only fair to say that i'll our
own age there has been no lack of those
who have honorably and unselfishly
turned out work not slovenly finished
as the public preferred, but fashioned
and polished in accordance with the
laws and traditions of the art. But |
am bound to confess that l see and l
deeply deplore a relaxation of this no.
BILE zeal in some of our youngest crafts
men. l fear that something of the lax
ity of public taste has invaded their
private workshops and that they are
apt to say to themselves that second
rate writing is good enough for the
publishers. Whenever l see it boldly
put forth that the matter is everything
and the manner nothing, that to write
with care is an 'affectation' or an 'arti-
flee, that style may take care of itself
and that 'unchartered freedom is the
best badge of a writer there seems to
rise before me the lean and hungry
scholar, scraping and cringing before
the great vulgar patron, with What
you wish, my lord. don't presume to
decide. And from this sort Of obsequi-
BUSINESS TO public taste no return TO
self respect is possible"

reversed position and kicked some more
until the hole was three feet across, and
Mrs Ostrich, who had been looking on
approvingly, signified her belief that it
was about right for nest.
She then took possession and every
other day laid in the nest her husband
had provided big egg, until there
were IA eggs in all, weighing three
pounds apiece. Fifty-two pounds of eggs
she considered enough for anybody, and
SO left off laying and devoted all her at
tention to keeping them warm. In this
labor she was assisted by Mr.. Ostrich,
who promptly relieved her at o clock
every aftern oon and sat there till the
next morning and also gave her an
hour incoming. that she might go out
in search of food.
1t took nearly a month to furnish the
nest with its complement of eggs, and
it was 40 days later when the anxious
birds were rewarded by hearing the
first "peep" Of baby ostrich wanting
to get out of his she'll After that their
real troubles began, for the little ones
came along pretty regularly, one after
the other, till there were at least a
bakers dozen" looking to Mr.. and
Mrs Ostrich for nourishment. They
weren't very exactlng, to be sure, for
the first few days. as all they desired
was a quantity of small stones and bits
of bone to fill their little crops. But
about the time they began to have an
appetite for something nice and nour-
ishing, like sugar beets and alfalfa "a
kind of clover). along came the pro-
prietor of the ostrich ranch and took
them all away and placed them in a
corral by themselves.
Mr. and Mrs Ostrich were at first
much overcome by their bereavement,
but as they were philosophical birds
they concluded having an empty nest
on hand all ready for business, the best
thing they could do would be to fill it
up again, which they began to do This
time dozen eggs were laid, and by the
end of two months or so when the Sec
ond crop of baby birds appeared they
were so worn out with watching and
sitting that they made no objection at
al WneH tne proprietor tOoh Inese away
as he had taken the first They had
done their duty, and, as Mr. Ostrich
may have remarked at the time, what
more could their owner expect of them?
So they marched off to the great cor
raj, where there were some so or 100
of their relatives, and Mrs Ostrich de-
voted herself to preening her bedraggled
plumage. while Mr.. Ostrich stood up
by the fence and swallowed such choice
morsels as board nails, lighted pipes,
gimlets, jackknives and the like as
aids to his digestion, and which were
offered him by the numerous visitors to
the farm.
Meanwhile the baby ostriches grew
and grew at the rate of foot month,
and in due course some of them got to
be as large as their papa. who was seven
feet high and weighed $50 pounds.
They were turned out into an alfalfa
field while they were small, roaming
about all day and warmly brooded at
night After they were months old
