European Markets

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
The stock settlement today revealed a
small account except in Americans, where
the amount carried on behalf of New York
operators is considerable. Contangoes on
Americans were 343is per cent, except for
Milwaukee, which were scarce and were
carried over at Ia per cent. The tone of the
market was generally dull, but there was
nothing doing and fluctuations were small.
Kaffirs were weak. Chilean and Brazil
ian securities were exceptionally strong,
but Uruguays were fiat on reports that ne
gotiations between the insurgents and gov
ernment have broken Off Americans were
heavy in sympathy with the other mar
kets and the close was dull. Gold was in
better demand at IT'S HE'D. Tomorrow 1, AGO.
900 pounds in gold will be turned over to
Japan and that country has begun to buy
gold in the open market. The silver mar
ket was disorganized. Indian merchants
show a hesitation to buy on reports that
the Indian mints are to reopen, this to be
accompanied by a heavy import duty on
silver, thus increasing internal currency
without depressing exchange. Another
rumor is simply that the import duty on
silver is to be increased l cannot vouch
for the probability of either report, but the
latter is the more credible. India council
drafts to be offered next week have been
reduced to 10 lakhs, the treasury balances
being so low. The Paris and Berlin mar
kets were dull.

Sunlight on the Baby's Eyes

Little babies eyes are quickly affected
by strong sunlight, but in spite of this
we often see young nursemaid gossip
ing with a friend while her unfortunate
little charge sits strapped into a cart
with the sun streaming into his face,
quite possibly receiving a lasting injury
to his eyes if not to his brain. Always
have little children wear shade hats dur
ing the summer months. If a child
should come in after his morning walk
with eyes reddening and evidently pain
full, bathe them with a little hot water
Cold would give them more relief at the
time, but if the water is as hot as the
eyes can bear cure will be. effected more
speedily. Should the eyes continue tc
be inflamed dissolve a teaspoonful OF
boracic acid powder in a pint Of boiling
rain water and dab it on the eyes with
small sponge or rag till the pain is re-
lieved 1t may be applied either hot OF
cold. This simple wash is most usefu
for children of all ages, and there is nc
fear Of its injuring the most delicate eye,
