ANN HICKS. A~PPLEWOMAN.


Up TO the year 1913 there stood an
old conduit at the east end OF the Ser
pentine in Hyde park, London. which
had once been connected with a minia-
ture waterfall. Here an apple woman

business in the sale OF apples. ginger

her establishment reduced 10 a mere

her wares at nighI-a request which
was deemed reasonable, and was al

Encouraged by her success, she Hex,
made application TO be allowed to build

was insecure. This, after some hes.ta-

Captain Alfred r. Mahan writes an
account of Nielsen In the Battle of
Copenhagen for The Century. Captain
Mahan quotes the following from the
account Of the engagement written by
Colonel Stewart of the British forces:
Lord Nelson was at this time, us he
had been during the whole action, walk
ing the starboard side of the quarter
deck, sometimes much animated and at
others heroically fine in his observa-
lions. A shot through the mainmast
knocked a few splintcrs about us. He
observed to me with n smile. 1T is waym
work, and this day may be the last to
any Of u at a moment, and then, stop
ping short at the gangway, he used an
expression never TO be erased from my
memory and said with emotion, But,
mark you, l would not be elsewhere for
thousands. With this spirit may be
compared his rebuke some days after the
battle to a lieutenant, who during the
action had made u hopeless report about
the grounded ships, AT such a molnen
the delivery Of anything like Il despond-
ing opinion, unasked, was highly repre-
hensible and deserved much more CEN

SILVER MARKET DEPRESSED.

Div EN- MaftNEl DEPRESSED.
London. March 1.-THE Westmin-
ser Gazette says The silver market is
very depressed, adding the main reason
for the downward movement is the fear
OF Japan, as a result OF the adoption of
the gold standard, will be a free seller
and the price be still further reduced.
Continuing, the Westminster Gazette
future, much depends upon the action
of American holders who lately have
been Offering the white metal freely.
The feeling ut this moment is that the
fall is rather owe done and The low
price will undoubtedly induce contincn-
tai buying"
New York, March 1.-THE silver
market is dull, but slightly firmer a,
621sc here. Buying abroad continues
limited and the situation is considered
problementical, until the action of the
Japanese house OF lords on the bill for
adopting the gold standard is determin-
ed. 1t is not felt here, the future of the
market depends on American offerings
which is the view attributed to the Lon
don Westminster Gazette. according to
cables reported to the press. America
being a producer of silver, is bound to
be a seller in any event.
