New York, May 2s.-The market
opened down on account of the un-
certainty of the location of the Span
ish feet, after which the bull contIn-
gent rallied the market, which was
helped along by q statement publish
ed by Boston Herald, that Schley's
1eet bad annihilated the Spanish
1eet. This, however, was not cor
firmed. Still IL had the effect Of re-
vivinR hope of IN early battle, which
means the practical termination Of
the war. There was no stock today
that assumed any special promi-
nence. The bank statement made a
very good exhibit. showing a big in
crease I'm revenue, a large increase
In loans and n still larger Increase IN

the feeling is one OF great confidence
but entirely dependent on war de.
velopments. What the war news
will be next Tuesday remains 10 be
seen and on that will depend the
course of the market.

sHREwD UNCLE SAM
is Proving HImseIf Somewhat of . FInon-
eIer-Buys Mexican Dollars at 16
Cents for Use In PhIIIpDIses.


Press says:
One of the most interesting
preparations for the outitting
of the Manila expedition has
just been announced. The gov
ernment has purchased $50. .0OO
Mexican silver dollars, which
General Merritt will take along
to defray the expenses of the
expedition. This amount is not
expected to last long, but more
will be sent him from time to
time.
By purchasing Mexican dol
lars a great saving is made. 1t
is possible to obtain Mexican
dollars at 46 cents each, thus
obtaining from one American
dollar two Mexican ones and
leaving s cents over toward the
the purchase Of a third. In
other words. Uncle Sam was
able to buy 25O,OOO Mexican
dollars for $4,000. They were
bought in San Francisco.
In the Philippines a Mexican
dollar will buy more than an
American dollar. so that the
expenses of General Merritt's
expedition after it once lands
in Manila will be less than one
half what they would otherwise
be. AS to the soldiers they
will fare excellently under this
arrangement, for they will of
course be paid. according to
law, American money.
The paymaster will give each
soldier two Mexican dollars for
every American dollar due him
on pay day.
Eight thousand cork helmets
have been sent from the Phila-
delphia hat depot to San Fran
cisco. They are for the Philip
pine expedition. The depot
quartermaster here opened bids
for 10000 additional helmets.
The helmets are to be made of
cork. which renders them hight
and waterproof. The firm of
Charles Leyy's sons was the
lowest bidder. offering to fur
nish the 10000 at $1.25 apiece
and deliver them at the rate of
1000 a week.
The contract will be awarded
to this firm if the quartermas-
ter does not succeed in making
cheaper arrangements with a
Chinese firm in Hong Kong.
The quartermaster general has
cabled to this Chinese firm and
expects an answer at once. If
they have the helmets there
they can of course furnish them
much cheaper and without the
trouble and delay of long trans
portation. Chinese helmets are
made of pith. a woody SUBJ
stance. a good substitute for
cork.
In connection with General
Merritt taking a lage quantity
of money with him to Manila it
is interesting to note that he
will be quite removed there
from official supervision. His
chief quartermaster will be
practically Quartermaster gen.
eral and the same will be true
of his chief commissary.

lives two miles south of this place.

thigh for thirty-four years, but gave
him but little trouble until late years
and an operation was decided upon.
The delicate task was successful in

is reported as resting better than at
any time since receiving the wound.

Hints ON BeekeepinG.

Many people fail Of success with bees
because they do not place the hives
right. II too shaded. the bees are likely
to be attacked by the moth miller,
which breeds those worms that destroy
the honey. 1t is well to have the bees
up early. so the hives should front to
the east so as to catch the first rays OF
the morning sun. Either well rooted,
low building should be put up as bee
stand or the hives should be set on
bench under tree all through the sum
mer. In winter it is not best that bees
should see sunlight II an underground
cellar out of doors can be fitted up
where the temperature may be kept be-
low freezing all the time, it will be
much better than the warmer house Gel

be frozen up II put of too long.
Where are the young chicks roosting:
Get them off the ground and out OF dan
ger of colds, skunks, minks and other
vermip.
Red raspberries do well In the chicken
yard, give shade when most needed, and
the fruit is mostly out OF reach OF the
fowls.
Make a note of the hen that had the
best hatch and raised her chicks In the
best shape, and let her repeat 1t next
season. She will do it.
Keep every male bird out Of the yards.
Do NOT let them run with the hens till
next breeding season.

moultiug hens will help start the one to

Hens turn the injurious insects on the

WHY FARMING DOESN'T PAY.

his father had, yet cannot lay up money
as his father did, tells why in the
"Poughkeepsie Eagle" He says: l
own better farm than my father did,
and derive n greater income from II than
he ever received. bu, he laid up money,
AMI do not. There are a lot OF things
for which spend money that he never
thought were necessary. He was salts

gether, regardless Of appearance.

Sometimes when | am in town | get a
shave, or have my hair cut. The old
time farmers used 20 let their whiskers

hair cutting at home. The modern
farmers wife and daughters like TO wear
good clothes as well as he does, and they
generally do il. When they come to
town they don't wear calico dresses and
sun bon nets, as their mothers and grand
mothers did, but they dress every bit as
well as the women who live in town.
These things all cost money, and they
represent the progress the farmer has
made In learning the art Of living II Is

family should want to live as we'll aud

RatH Drafted Into Service.

Tom Mcguire is genius. He Is yard
foreman at the Laclede Gas company's
plant. A sewer pipe leading from one
of the buildings to the river bank, IG0
feet away, became clogged. The pipe
was l6 feet below the surface. Mcguire
had been thinking about plan for sey-
eral days. One night be caught two big
gray rats, and these he determined TO
put into the sewer. They were taken to
the mouth at the river bank and re.
leased. The opening was then closed
securely behind them, leaving the
animals with only one chance Of life.
That was to go straight ahead. And
they did. Several more rats were caught
and turned into the sewer until dozen
were gnawing away in the pipe. The
morning after the last detachment join
ed the main army water began to trickle
from the pipe. Iron rods and steam
were applied. In ten minutes the sewer
was clear. st. Louis Post. Dispatch.

IMPROVE IhE lime.

The vacation season Is passed. The
fairs are all over or soon will be. From
now up 10 the time Of the latest haryes.
Is a season that may be devoted TO prep
arstions for another years cropping.
This should be seized upon 1T once by the
active farmer and improved TO the best
possible advantage. So far ss Is practi-
cable all work that will forward opera
tions on the farm next spring, should be
put through the passing season. On
broad-gauge farm there Is not time TO do
all the work in spring time required In
the preparation and seeding OF so many
acres as should be under cultivation.
Get out Of this narrow idea Of only an
acre or two under cultivation.
There never Was greater error OF
practice. At least one-fourth Of the till
age land Of every farm should be under
the plow and producing bountiful crops
in place Of the thin grass TO which II Is
now left. Then hitch up the teams and
90 TO plowing, manuring and narrowing
in preparation for broader work next
year, and do it now before the mud and
the frozen ground Of the later season
make 1t difficult and unpleasant. In
place Of seeing how little effort will
hold the farm together, strike out for
more crops, more fodder, more stock,
more manure and greater prosperity
The times are specially promising TO al
who will take hold in earnest to help
themselves.

front seat, seemed disposed to be rather
familiar aud coquettish with some
Young officers Of the escort. Her majesty
gave several reproving looks without
avail At length, in flirting her hand
kerchief over the sides of the carriage,
the princess dropped it, too evidently
not accidentally. Instantly two or three
young officers sprang from their sad
dies 10 return it, but the voice OF the
queen staid them.
"Stop, gentlemen, leave it just where
il lies, " she said. "Now, my daughter,
get down from the carriage and pick up
your handkerchief. There was no help
for it. The royal footman let down the
steps for the little lady, who proceeded
to lift from the dust the pretty piece OF

The Early Umbrella.

We may infer from the following an
nouncement, copied from The Female
Taller Of Dec. IL, 1909, that the UNI
brella at this period was regarded as
too effeminate for the use of a man:
1.-THE young gentleman borrowing the
umbrella belonging to Wills coffee
house, Cornhill. Of the mistress, is here
by advertised, that to be dry from head
to foot on the like occasion he shall be
welcome to the maids pattens. About
this time it was customary to keep an
umbrella in the halls Of larger houses
for use in rainy weather, for shelter in
proceeding from the house to q covered
conveyance, and doubtless the one al
luded to in the advertisement above
quoted was for that purpose.
