MOTHERS AID SOCIETY.
Meeting Held Yesterday Atternoon

Meeting Held Yesterday Afternoon
 secretary's Report for the Year.
 A meeting of the Mothers Aid society was held in the chapel of the United church yesterday afternoon.
 The report of the secretary, Mrs. Adams, was read by Mrs. Walter Camp, the assistant secretary, Among other things the report said that the chief single item of interest in this our thir- teenth annual report, is the purchase of the new nursery on Hill street. This enterprise was started few years ago. The growth has been so rapid and the results so successful that 1t seems wise to buy and improve the home used for our nursery and the purchase was concluded last June.
 In February Miss Hill, our valued matron at Hope nursery, was married and has gone to Canada to live.
 A pleasant letter was written after her arrival In her new home, assuring us of her interest in the nursery.
 Miss Hill has been succeeded by Miss Bellou, who will, we are confident, prove equally efficient. The winter has been an especially hard one for the mothers, owing to the closing of the factories, and the attendance at Leila nursery fell off very perceptibly.
 The total attendance of children dur ing the whole year was 1000. Average attendance each day, 26.
 Largest daily attendance, GA. Differ ent children accommodated. 2S8, from 146 families. Days work obtained for needy, 4,625.
 In June Captain Bowen of the United States army gave an interesting lecture for the benefit of the nurseries, entitled Clusters Last Night" The managers feel greatly indebted to Captain Bowen.
 The children greatly enjoyed .heir an nual picnic to the shore, and we gre greatly indebted to those who assisted in the work.
 Our cordial thanks are extended to many who have helped us during the year, and We are glad to express our indebtedness to the Ives kindergarten which cared for our older children dur ing the morning. Our special thanks | are due to our physicion and to MT Webb, who so kindly furnished our sterilized milk during the hot summer months.

THEY ARE GUESSING.
The Truth About Them Makes Them Won
 der What to do Next.


 We have them uneasy. The manu- facturers of worthless, harmful tooth preparations are wondering what they had better do to withstand our shot. Liquid soaps with alkaline reaction and utterly worthless powders and pastes are getting what they deserve Intelli- gent people are beginning to investi- gate this subject. When they put these miserable powders and pastes between their teeth dry and find them filled with grit they thank us for calling their at- tentfon to this simple test.
 There is more money wasted and more harm done in using these cheap mixtures of worthless turf than any body who does not know would imag- inc. The proprietors of Pearlo- dento were told that the public is so used to cheap stuff that an ideal tooth prepa- ration would have no sale. You may find when you ask your druggist for Pearlo-dento that he has had this mo- ton himself It is a mistake, however, and this is really why i've have our opponents guessing.
 Just compare Pearlo-dento with other preparations for the teeth. You will readily be struck by its smoothness and delicious flavor. Then try 1t and see how absolutely superior it is in every way. We don't have to give you an extra package of grit to grind into the enamel and thus prove how useless our preparation really is. Nor do we eau ton you about rlnsing out your mouth freely. We don't bamboozle you by any fa i,v tales whatever
 Read our circular inside our violet box It comes with each tube of Pearlo- dento, instead of a package of grit. All druggists, 50 cents.

Wednesdays Market but n Repetition of
 That of Tuesday.
 New York, May 12.-To- days market yesterdays, whatever strength there was generally manifested not outlast- ing very long the close of the London exchange and the strength reflected from there, which was, however, less marked than yesterday. London also was again purchaser of securities in this market, though not in so large a volume as yesterday. Some purchases were also said to be forced on Holland account.
 The stocks bought by the foreigners were Union Pacific, St. Paul, and Nor folk and Western. Some sales for for eign account were also made. The sell ing movement in Sugar and Chicago Gas became heavy later in the day, Su- gar being sold on reports of jeopardy to the sugar schedule in the tariff bill
 The dullness of trading was in part due to the announcement of further gold shipments, but these were not forthcoming, beyond an increase of only $50,000 by a house which had already announced $500,00O by tomorrow s steamer. Whatever shipments may be maa.e by Saturdays steamer are now expected to be small There is, in fact, very light demand for exchange and tf c;,,es gold.
 It is evident that a very small quan- tity of these would break the exchange market. What shipments may be forth coming on special orders from Europe of course remain open to conjecture. The considerable purchase of our secur- ities by London yesterday and to-day has a tendency to weaken exchange. An increase in the exports from the port of New York somewhat offset the enormous imports of last week
 The restricted character of the mar kett is shown by the fact that Sugar and Chicago Gas absorbed one-third of the dealings. The foreign purchases of stocks were estimated at from 12000 to 15,000 shares. The decline in Sugar reached 1A, with a rally of 7s. Chicago Gas fell 1B, but the net loss was only B.
 There was little of importance In the movement of railway shares. but the reaction in the market carried the mar ket to a fraction below last ntghte close. Union Pacific was an exception and advanced IS to 737s, on foreign buying. Oregon preferred enjoyed a further rise of two points. Standard oil liquidating certificates sold to-day at 315
 The bond market maintained firm tone generally, with purchases for for eign account again noted Gains ot slight fractions were generally made ir the leading Issues, with the speculative liens absorbing the bulk of the dealings The aggregate transactions were $1,. 5000.
 Governments were dull, but harden. ing tendency was apparent in the new fours. The sales were $32, 000 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely, bankers and brokers, IS Broadway, New York and 15 Center street, New Haven:

The Casahnnnnn.

Mrs. Margaret E. Campbell of Louisiana
commenting upon some remarks made by
us, regarding this new climber, that pos
sesses considerable value in our opinion,
says: Casabanana was a common thing
hereabout IS years ago. No one men
tons the small sort, and do not know any
one who has it now. But years ago it
grew here. One vine covered two large
peach trees. The flowers were large. ike
the Luffa, or dish-rag guord. They began
bearing earlier in the season, as early as
June, think, and kept on till frost. The
fruits were no larger than a banana and
we used them green, cooked like squash.
They were good, too When ripe and yell
low they looked and smelt just like a ba-
mana, and were preserved. Some people
used them fried in butter l have not
seen any of the small ones for several
years. The large ones do not bear as
early nor as full as the small sort, nor are
the vines or flowers as pretty but for pre-
serves they are the same. / think the
best way to start them is to plant a seed
in a small, thin, bottomless wooden box,
and when it is warm enough, set the
plant, box and all in a good rich hill (old
manure is besD, and give good support.
One vine will cover big place. Several
years ago l sent to different seedsmen
some Seeds and to a few some fruits of
the casabananas. but if they ever did any
thing ] never heard. / may here state
that the preserves look and taste just like
pineapple. The fruit. gathered i'm Novem-
Der will keep good till March. If north
ern people could get seed of the small
early-bearing ones, l think they could raise
them as well as watermelons or cucumb-
bers Seeds of the casabanan were brought
here thirty years ago from Honduras.
see the seed offered in but one catalogue,
and that in Louisiana. I have not raised
any for four years, but where they can be
raised they are worth the little trouble.
