Home Making.

There is an ocean of difference be-
tween housekeeping n home-making.
One is a business, the other is an art.
Many women make great success in the
business who fail absolutely in the art.
Their houses are perfectly kept. Every
department is run with care and exact
ness. There is never a failure to meet
demand; but it is not a home. A home
exists for the comfort, happiness, n
health Of the family. There is no de-
partment Of housekeeping that is not
made to yield to the needs of any men,
Der. There is never a crisis of temper
if a meal is late or the convenience Of
a member demands a change in the
hour. A few minutes-yea, even a
number of minutes-spent in kindly
converse in the morning, the call Of a
friend, or the sudden desire for an
hours outing, " seems to the home
maker a violation Of the moral code.
Dust does not cause nightmare, nor dis
order a display which love and charity
agree to call nervousness. Not things,
but souls, are the objects of h home
maker care. She alues a more
than system, happiness more than reg
ularity, content more han work. &C
complished. Yet, with it all, her house,
when she touches perfection, is the es-
sence Of regularity, order and quiet.
1t is this that makes home-making an
art. And b alone is a hom~maker
who has a true sense Of proportion

Her Consolation.

George" exclaimed Mrs. Lawson, ac-
cording to the Cleveland Leader, 'let me
see that paper a minute Tires some
thing in Fugleman's advertisement ON the
last page, about giving something away to
every customer"
Mr.. Lawson handed the paper over to
his breakfast.
Il nope they won't all be gone" she
said aloud, as she read the announcement
before l can get there"
What are they going to give away?''
her husband asked.
"a beautiful tea eaddy to every pur-
more she excitedly returned. 1
wouldn't miss getting one of them for
anything"
What do you intend to buy?" he in
quired.
oh, I don't know yet. But there are
lots of things I can find to make up the
dollars worth. A tea caddy's the very
thing Ive been wanting this long time.
and 1 wouldn't miss the chance for a
good DEAL
He kissed her and went away, but when
he got home again, at night, he found in
place of the happy wife he had left that
morning a little woman who was the pic
ture of woe.
What's the mater?" George Lawson
asked.
He had forgotten about the tea caddy.
and feared that bad news of some kind
had preceded him..
Il shall never buy another cents worth
Of ANYTHING in Fugleman's store as long
as I live his darling replied.
Oh he said, remembering the adver-
in the morning paper. didn't
they give you a tea caddy after all?'
Yes" she replied in So/rnful tones,
they gave one but look at it!'
Then she handed out a little earthen
jar with a nick in it, that if it had been
perfect, might have been worth s or 10
cents.
why didn't you make them give you a
good One?" he asked patting her cheek,
and trying to make her believe that he
sympathized with her.
Il did ask for a good one" she sobbed:
but what do you think the impudent
clerk said?"
Il haven't any idea. If it was anything
disrespectful I'll go and lick him.
He asked me if I wanted the EARTH"
the weeping woman declared.
'Oh he did, did hep
Yes and there I'd just bought a dol
lars worth of goods that 1 don't suppose
I'll ever need!'
1.-The wretch!'' Kissed George Lawson
Then he told her not to care and kissed
her, and made her think that he didn't
object to the squandering Of a dollar at
all, and at length her gloom disappeared.
AS they sat down to tea she suddenly
said, with a glad look upon her face:
I'd feel awfully bad about it, dear if I
hadn't seen some Of the caddieS that some
of the other women got. They were all
cracked or damaged in some way
But her husband made no reply. He
was thinking.

New York, June 26.-The strong Stats
teal position has grown stronger. The
large spot sales in Liverpool and the good
spot demand here have continued and
there has been no change in the cheer
full news of the general business outlook
during this week. yet the cotton market
has almost exactly reversed its course of
the week previous, and the great i'm
provement in crop prospects then ignored
has outweighed as an influence upon the
market. These factors were the all i'm
portant contributors to the advance then.
The healthy aspect Of the market was
still present early in the week, but the
governments splendid crop bulletin of
last Tuesday. followed by the weakness
of Liverpool wheE the market reopened
after the jubilee holidays, took all heart
out of the bulls. and prices have surely
but slowly receded. Today the market
was very dull. Liverpool was steady and
unchanged. The Chronicles report on the
crop was good but some complaints Of
too dry weather were noted. Our market
opened 3 to 5 points higher. Good rains
were reported in the dry section and
5.27. advanced to rs. declined to 7.zs and
closed at 70 TO IA, with the tone OF the
market steady. The trading during the
week has been very light and largely
local. In spite of this and the loss In
values, the bullish sentiment here con-
tinued undated. The fear of a repeti-
ton of last seasons drought Is ever pres
ent to deter short selling. The lesson

magnificent June prospects, by the great
rise Last summer. is not easily forgotten
The exceeding slimness and rapid diminu-

that no fresh supplies Of moment can be

Mr.. Hiram Moore was seen by a Mes
senger reporter last evening at his
home on Seventh street between Queen
and Wooster. He was suffering a good
deal but his symptoms are favorable.
His arm was fractured near the Shout
der and his hea and body are consid-
erably bruised, but his injuries are not
Of a serious nature.
Mr.. Moore says he and Mr.Mc.Marsh-
burn left here on the 2:3O p. m, train
on the Wilmington Seacoast railroad
Friday afternoon, to have a fish at the
banks channel trestle. They separated
at the trestle shortly after 3 o'clock and
Mr.. Moore says he lent his fishing poles
and hooks to a party Of ladies and gen.
tlemen who were out in a sharpe. At
ter they had ished awhile he got in the
boat with them and went up to the pa
Wilton at Ocean View, leaving his poles
and lines at the trestle. He state that
he got on a train abou 6 o'clock n
when it approached the banks channel
trestle, he asked the conductor to SLOW
down so he could get off for his fishing
poles and tackle, but the conductor
said he could not stop. Mr.. Moore says
he then jumped off and got a hard tum-
BILE in the sand but was not hurt. At
ter getting his fishing tackle he walked
over the trestle to Mr.. Sharp's to tele-
phone to Superintendent Grant about
the refusal of the conductor to slow
down the train for him.. He then decid-
ed to walk over the sound trestle to
Wrightsville to get supper Wen
about midway the trestle the 7:15 p. M,
train from Wilmington reached
Wrightsville and then came on over
the t~restle. Mr.. Moore tells us that he
stepped to one side on a small plank
laid on the ends Of the crOssties and
that the train in passing, probably the
steps, knocked him from the trestle into
the mud and water ten feet below. The
water was about four feet deep, and in
his effort to get upon his feet he dis
covered that his arm was broken. He
says he followed for help but the train
went on to the HammOcks, and a hand
car was sent back with two cOlOred
men who pulled him up on the trestle
and carried him to Wrightsville where
DR.. A. H.. Harriss attended him. He
says he took some brandy to stay his
nerves but vomited it up, and also vom-
tied after he got to the city .
The railroad authorities state that
they know nothing of the accident to
Mr.. Moore except what ne says The
train which could not slow down for
Mr.. Moore was the Ramsuer excursion
train and Mr.. Moore vas told by one
of the conductors that he could not
ride on hat train, as it was a char
tered train. The railroad has
up notices fOrbidding all persons from
walking the ~trestle. The engineer of
the train, which Mr.. Moore says knock
ed him from the trestle says he never
struck anyone on the ~trestle.
