Definition of PoetSby Wordsworth.
What is a poet? To whom does
he address himselfl And what Ian
guage is to be expected from him /?
He is a man speaking to men-a
man, it is true, endowed with more
lively sensibility, more enthusiasm
and tenderness, who has a greater
knowledge of human nature and a
more comprehensive soul than are
supposed to be common among man
kind; a man pleased with his own
passions and volitions, and who re-
joices more than other men in the
spirit of life that is in him; delight
ing to contemplate similar volitions
and passions as manifested in the
goings on Of the universe and habit
ually impellsd to create them where
he does not find them. To these
qualities he has added a disposition
to be affected more than other men
by absent things, as if they were
present; an ability of conjuring up
in himself passions which are indeed
far from being the same as those
produced by real events, yet (espe-
cially in those parts of the general
sympathy which are pleasing and
delighkuD to more nearly resemble
the passions produced by real events
than anything which, from the mo-
tions of their own minds merely,
other men are accustomed to feel in
themselves; whence, and from prac-
tice, he has acquired greater read
mess and power in expressing what
he thinks and feels, and especially
those thoughts and feelings which,
by his own choice or from the
structure of his own mind, arise in
him without immediate external ex-
citement.

Hospitality That Paid.

Gambling clubs are being raided
III London, one of the complaints
being that they greatly overcharge
their patrons for the use of cards.
1t is curious that century ago this
was the case in private houses. 1t is
generally supposed that hospitality
was more largely extended in old
times, and, indeed, was their su-
preme virtue, whereas it would now
be thought the extremity of mean-
ness for host to charge his guests
with any such payment. In The
Times of March -, 1896, we read:
1.-The tabbies Of Bath are i'll 4 state
of insurrecticn, III consequence OF
an example by Lady Elcho, who
neither visits nor receives company
that pay for cards. This laudable
reformation is adopted so generally
that many of the dowagers who
have SO long fed on card money are
turning their thoughts to some more
creditable means of earning their
livelihood. A hope is expressed
that the ladies in London will follow
the examples of those of Bath and
exclude the cdious and pitiful GUS
tom. We are afraid that many a
party is formed rather to derive
benefit from the sale of cards than
for the sake of hospitality. San

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, June 10.-The crop damage
reports continued to be the chief bull item
in wheat at the start. There seemed To be
q growing apprehension that the harvest
would be seriously delayed and that the
grain would suffer serious injury. Wheat
in the southern half of Kansas was said
to be about ready for the harvest. while
the fields were said to be flooded. Numer-
Gus other telegrams from different parts
of the country sent equally bad reports. but
interspersed with the heralds of calamity
were a few others of a more assuring char
acter suggesting the possibility of the
alleged disaster being more imagination
than the actual facts. There was a dis
position to wait for the government report
and this acted as check to speculation.
The clearing up of the weather in Chicago
caused temporary change in speculative
sentiment. The sun, in about two hours
after the opening of the session, was BEAM
ing in at the windows of the board of trade
and melted all the bull feeling out of the
crown in the wheat pit. From being very
strong, the market became weak, and the
early gain was more than lost General
buying by shorts gave the market fresh
impetus near the close. July left off with
a gain of Ac, and September was 5sM%c
higher.
The trade in the corn pit was the most
active on the floor The country came
grams to describe the horrible effect of
too much rain. No sooner had the ses-
sion started than buying frenzy seized
the pit Shorts made a general rush to
cover and liberal buying orders were filled
for the country account. July closed %H1c
up.
Crop reports were very unfavorable for
heavy rains have beaten down the grain

NEW YORK, June 10.-There was a brief
struggle In the first hour of today's stock
market to extend the reaction which has
been in progress this week, when prices
turn, and 1T was runaway bull campaign
for the rest of the day. There was cn
enormous absorption of stocks ascending
the scale of prices, especially In Sugar,
of the leading speciaties. The picking up
of inactive and dormant stocks, however,
distinguished the trading quite as much
as the aggressive strength in the great
speculative leaders: The advance was
made in the face of several incidents. any
one of which would have been seized upon
to raid down the whole list in the reac-
tionary spirit of the early part of the
week. but they were without the slightest
Influence in restraining the heavy buying
of stocks. One of these incidents was the
marking down of prices for Americans in
London on the score of chronic British ap-
prehension that the currency and finance
of the United States were being unsettled
and ruined by the nations supreme legis-
lative body. London sold stocks early on
this ground, but at the extreme decline
bought little bit of Louisville and South

suffered depreciation from the fear that
the establishment of quarantine against
yellow fever in the south would interrupt
traffic and cut down their earnings. Re-
ports from the growing crops awakened
an urgent demand for the Grangers, in

Bottling Fruit

The season for preparing fruits for win
ter use is rapidly approaching, and so some
hints as to good process will no doubt be
appreciated. This is my method, and il
the Bottles are not moved after once being
stored, find it perfectly successful: Wipe
wide-mouthed bottles, dry them thorough
ly over the range, and fill with perfectly
sound fruit; to each large bottle of fruit
add two ounces of caster sugar. Tie over
each bottle with bladder, and stand in a
large fish kettle of cold water, with hay
bound round the bottles to keep them firm.
Place the pan on the fire and let the water
come slowly to the boil, and simmer till
the fruit sinks down little, but it must not
break. Constantly moisten the bladders
to prevent their breaking. Remove the pan
from the fire and let the bottle stand till
cold, then wipe each one dry. See that the
bladder is whole, and set in cold store
room. MRS. M. w.

Distributing Investments

The old saw about carrying too many
eggs in one basket or setting too many under
one hen has been applied without any dis
elimination to the loaning of money. From
II some have deduced the proposition that it
Is wiser and safer to have securities scat
tered all the way from government bond
down to Il mining prospect, than to use
high order of intelligence in selecting two
or three lines and combining operations to
them. No one could. by any process of rea-
soning, argue that an investor could have
too muny government securities, because
they represent the very highest and ideal
type of investing funds. That is reason
enough. In order to carry out the determin-
alton to distribute investments it is not
necessary to invest little in every known
security. The theory can be carried out
even II all ones funds are lodged In real
estate securities. This means that all of
them must not necessarily come from one To-
cality. A most wise distribution can be
made taking in the famous Red river valley,
Palouse country, Iowa. Illinois. Missouri.
Nebraska and accepted portions of other
states that would give the investor all the
variety and distribution he could possibly
desire. But the great point to be decided by
every investor is what line of securities is
he most familiar with? After this has been
determined, he need not worry but what a
little looking around will give him enough
scattering portunities.-American Invest

Gently succeeded in a venture at straw
berry culture. which opens up a new field
for those who love but do not possess a
garden. This departure takes the form of
~ garden in barrel. An empty sugar bar

inch in diameter, the holes being five
inches apart and the circular rows being
at a distance of six inches from each
other. The barrel is then filled with alter

a thin layer of fertilizer sandwiched be-
tween them. The gardener then inserts
through the auger holes the roots of his
strawberry plants. and roots them also,

her barrel one mass of fragrant and lus-
cious fruit, more than sufficient for her
