THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKET.

The COTION Anu GhAlN MAhhEI.
Price, Mccormick e. Co. wired Weeden, Ken
dali 81 Co. today: "The Liverpool arrival
market was steady at practically last even
ing's closing figures. Spot sales aggregated
5000 bales at unchanged prices. Receipts were
about 5000 bales, against 9lg9 last week and
10, 759 last year. Although the market is life
less and shows no decided tendency to move
in either direction, "a continuance of existing
weather conditions at the South for week or
so longer ought to attract an increased atten-
tion TO the market"
II was claimed at the opening today that
the crop damage rumors would soon be con-
firmed and IL this is fact there is no ques-
tion but that the buying Of wheat at home
and for foreign account will carry the values
higher.
in Liverpool today wheat was steady and
higher and corn was firm but hieher. In
London off coast cargoes were quiet and
steady: passage cargoes Wore steady. The
English country markets were quiet and
steady
Paine, Webber 81 Co. say today: "In no
time in the past 80 years has the highest price
for Chi cago cash wheat been recorded in
March, and in no year has the lowest been in
May. In q years the highest was in April TO
August inclusive, and in 20 years the lowest
was in January, February, May, July, August

Martin Discharged.

Jack Martin the man who figured so
conspicuously in the fake hold-up at
Olneyville Wednesday evening was dis
charged but not without very much re-
luctancy by Chief of Police Baker this
forenoon. There was no possible way by
which the man could be brought to JUS
ticc for his action.
The fact that fifteen men worked on the
case, even To the extent of going without
their meals, from the time that the affair
was reported until Martin was locked
up, makes the members of the depart
ment feel that some punishment ought to
have been administered.

figures, some of flowers, and others in conventional patterns, but all are to be of bold, open pattern, which will prove much more effective when made up than a fine or intrinsic pattern would. Four of these patterns should be alike, ard these four used for the corner blocks. The designs are next outlined in some delicate color, pale pink, pale blue or yellow. but all the outlining is done with one shade. Wash silk or linen is used, as preferred, the linen. of course. proving less expen' s:ve than the silk.
 The blocks are next laundered and carefully pressed. They are now ready to be set together. and for this purpose strips of sateen are used of the exact shade of the silk or linen employed in outlining. The strips of sateen are three inches wide, and when the whole is pieced the blocks have the appear. ance of being set together with ribbon. A strip of satecn, the same width, is set all around the edge after the blocks are pieced, and Q second band is added of Lonsdale. This latter is worked with a running border in outline.
 The cover is now ready to be lined andquilted. The lining Is of plain Lons- dale, and the edge is bound with the same. The quilting is done in what ia known as shell stitch. A group of shells is marked in each corner, then row of shells is started across one side and carried across the whole remain. ing surface of the guilt. When % blocks are used instead of nine, the de. sign on each is of course smaller, and the bands with which the blocks are set together are narrower. Otherwise the directions given apply to this as we'll us to the quilt of nine blocks.
 The accompanying illustration shows ths arrangement oi the shells iu quilt ing. The half circles are the size of an ordinary teacup.-American Agri- eulturist.

SPRING.

At last. O joy, sweet spring is here,
 Though keen and cold Is still the wind, And all the earth lies bleak and drear,
 And icy bonds the streams still bind. The scent of buds and coming flowers
 Is in the air. and fills my heart. And soon the woods and leafy bowers
 Will in new life and beauty start. From wonder hedge. first of his clan.
 A bird begins his song to sing. As though he would do all he can
 To welcome back the sweet new spring. That spring Is here scarce need be told,
 And soon the trees will all be green, And nature. robed In green and gold, stand out in all her glorious sheen. For from the sere leaves at my feet
 A modest violet lifts its head. And with fragrance passing sweet
 It warns me heed well where tread. And here, too. at my feet. see
 A daffodll with golden bell. As though about to ring with glee The gladsome news 1t comes to tell. And earth. so long in slumber deep,
 Stirs dreamily. as if to wake From It's protracted. frozen sleep,
 And from its icy bondage break. And soon the newly wakened power
 Win In each bush and tree be stirred. And throb in every charming flower. And in the song note of each bird. So lessons sweet and full of grace
 Life's darkes, hours will surely bring: Some flower of hope will show its face. Some bird of promise sweetly sing. William c. Haeselbarth. in Christian Work

Care of the Tooth Brush.

The care of tooth brushes is not suf- dciently observed. In our city houses, c writer properly remarks. they stand in their cups or hang on their racks above the set toilet-bowls day and night, ab- sorbing any disease germs that may be floating about. They should be washed frequently-at least about twice a week-in some antiseptic solution. strong salt and water or bicarbonate of sodium and water being two good and readily provided cleaners. Tooth washes and pastes should also be kept covered.

AN OUTLINE QUILT.

New Design That Is Sure to Be Ad.
 mircd When Neatly Made.
 A particularly handsome quilt was recently made by the women of lead ing church society in one of our large cities, and met with so hearty an up- proval, and was so greatly admired. that large number were finished and sold at SIP each. The blocks were of Lonsdale cambric. In some of the quilts nine blocks were used, and in others 25. The blocks were longer than wide, and their size was calculated ac- cording to the size of the bed, whether eingle, double or three-quarters size.

WOMAN AND HOME.
LATEST SOCIETY FAD.
The French smart Set Insists That
 Dogs Shall Be Married.

The French smart Set Insists That
 Dogs Shall Be Married.
 There is brand new fad in swell dom. It is the dog marriage. To be thoroughly fashionable nowadays one must own two dogs of opposite sex, and they must have been duly married by the staid and respectable canine select ed by the fashionable community to act as the representative of the cloth.
 Of course, says the New York Herald, 1t is from France that this new fad has come. When it is necessary to discover something particularly eccentric French genius always comes to the res cue. The fashionable to whom fell the honor of introducing this new and rather remarkable step for the advance ment of canine creation was none other than Mime. Ephrussi, daughter of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, the wife of Maurice Ephrussi.
 The initial wedding of dogs in high society is so novel as to be well worth description. In the first place Mime. Ephrussi sent out formally engraved in- vitutions to several hundred of her friends, announcing the approaching nuptials of Diane, her favorite poodle, and Le Petit Major, a handsome poodle, the property of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild. Not only were the recip- ients of these invitations asked to come themselves, but requested to also bring their dogs.
 Not the least odd and attractive fea- ture of the whole affair was the fact that many of these visiting dogs-in truth, the majority of them-were in full evening dress. Not evening blank cts, but, if the dog was male, in the swallow tail and trousers of the human, together with the standing collar, dress shirt and unspeakable tie.
 With all this gorgeousness on the part of the guests, what must have been tbe worldly splendor that surrounded the bride and groom! Diane, who is de- scribed as a poodle of rare grace and beauty, wore white satin dress, trimmed with beautiful lace, a long tulle veil, decorated with orange blcs- soms, and white kid shoes. Major, :he bridegroom, wore full evening dress. On the buttonhole of NJ. Majors very swell coat was dainty orchid.
 Presently all the guests had arrived. human and canine, the latter, of course, being given the preference. Mmc. Ephrussi's magnificent ballroom was thrown open. There everyone repaired, everybody and the dogs. A moment later and there softly foated through the air the strains of the ever familiar wedding march from "Lohengrin." Mincing up the aisle, along which it had been arranged that the wedding procession was to pass, walked three small poodles, each in evening dress, and semi harnessed together with white ribbon. Following these came the bride, leaning upon the arm or

They have attached to their polished tops all paraphernalia needed to crimp the hair, including safety match boxes, alcohol lamp with tongs standard, hairpin tray and ban dolipe jar. The tables are in oak or ma hogany finish and the attachments in various metals, brass, nickel or silver.

rather hand of her mistress, while be- hind them, walking on his hind feet and without support, accompanied by Baron Rothschild, came M. MaJor.
 Then came the bridesmaids and groomsmen, the former wearing white silk dresses and long veils, the latter in full dress and adorned with em- broidered white satin coats. All these advanced upon their hind legs, but be. hind them came a host of canine guests, who were permitted to walk as nature had originally intended they should.
 Away down at the further end of the ballroom the wedding procession was met by the stanch and sober bulldog of Comto de Bertcaux. Upon his head this honored canine wore tall silk hat, and about his waist was tied the tricolor sash. his badge of office, for he was representing M. le Maire. After greeting the procession, the bulldog Maire advanced on his hind legs and seated himself upon an embroidered cushion. The Maire looked solemnly at the young couple whose destinies he was about to unite, and then parked distinctly three times. The bridegroom gave a short bark. The bride parked low and impressively. Then the Maire parked several times flu quick success sion, and there was Q series of respon- sive barks, in which some of the rude and minimizing in the audience joined without request A gold ring, with a diamond setting, was then slipped over the paw of the fair Diane. the Maire parked gleefully, and the procession moved 10 the adjoining room.
 Following the signing of the register came the reception and supper. Every dog was given seat at the table and a regular course supper was served. And 70 passed of the first dog wedding of which Dame Fashion ever acted a chief.
