New York: The prospect of delay was
the 1nSpira ton of the rally in yesterday S
stock market. The delay, of course. relat-
ed to the, precipitation of hostilities with
Spain and the prospect was based on the
idea that there would be a squabble be-
tween the two houses of congress as to
tervention should be cast and that the
resolution most likely to pass would allow
an opportunity for the president to resume
negotia tions with the Spanish government.
Wall street still clings to the theory that
in some way war will be averted- The
manner by which this desirable end can
be attained is not indicated in current
discussions, but talk is again heard of
some scheme by which the island may be
purchased from Spain. This story is act

ciers- 1t receives no circumstantial sup

AS many as 500 sitting hens are used
on some farms for this purpose. They
are set, in small houses with the nests,

having his own lattice door. Each

taken from the nests and fed and

They are taken down in limited mum.

placing them in ice-water, for short

The Siameso National Air,

The European tour Of the King Of
Siam has elected the fact that there is
Siamcsc national Dir, not to say an
them. A great scrambling for it's
score, under various arrangements,
began among the Continental and
British bard-masters and orchestra
leaders in general, as soon as the King
and his suite were fairly on their
travels. One band-master informed
the writer of this note that he was
obliged to copy the parts for his men
in great haste FROM a scrawled French
manuscript, and that when the air was
played, without rehearsal, lit sounded
queerer than it looled"-so much
queerer that he was somewhat taken
aback atits Oriental intervals, although
the King and his suite showed no
signs of dismay. He discovered pres
emily that he had confused two OF
three measures and given their con.
tents to the wrong embellishments
The air was written by wandering
Italian musician, unwillingly visitor
to Bangkok many years ago, who took
good native tune as the basis Of his
melody.-Harper's Weekly.

Cat Culture In England.

Cat breeding is now carried on as
scientifically as horse breeding in Eng
land. The Ladies' Kennel Journal is
one of the principal organs of the fan
ciers. A few extracts from it are worth
reading:
IT have heard of the death of several
noted cats this month"
Southampton Ghost succumbed
to ball of hair in the stomach. Mrs.
Greenwood laments him deeply"
"Mrs. Marriott has q fine young
orange male coming on"
""The Seraph,' Mrs. Marriott's
Chinchilla kitten, purchased at the 9.
P. show last year, has grown into a
big, solid cat"
"Mrs. Waldegrave Birdie evidently
does not suffer from want Of buyers
for her kittens, for she wrote me, I
sell kittens almost too rapidly, as
some unborn are already solo, She
has put up q lovely cattery."
"We also learn that this lady has
bought a daughter Of the well-known
Tom Esau.'"
Next we find the chronicler con-
graduating Mrs. Il. Woodhouse, "who
has litter of five blues from Lobelia,
by Kingfsher."
After few pages Of this kind Of
thing, it is no surprise to learn thai
that the same journal has a "Birtbs'
column.

day, fed ear corn broken, and after
being MIXED were turned into the lot
and given unhusked corn fodder. In
this way each COW received II bushels
of ear corn PR week, and one bushel
Of corn in tie fodder. The pigs, in
addition to What they picked up, were
given butternilk and some skim-milk.
In return for this feed I received At
pounds Of butter and ten pounds of
pork per week per COW, or about two
pounds Of butter and four pounds of
pork per bushel Of corn. The COWS
were provided with good shed and q
thick layer Of straw to lie on. They
grew thick coating Of hair and from
all appearances were more comfortable
than those kept in barn. The pigs
did remarkably we'll, living upon the
droppings Of the cattle, refuse from
the hangers, buttermilk and part Of
the skimmilk. This plan I believe to
be as profitable as any which can be
adopted in the corn-growing section
Of the State, and certainly has the
merit Of eliminating large part of the
drudgery usually connected with dairy
farming American Agriculturist.

Counterfeits tho Best.

Counterfeit silver dollars of greater
weight and fneness than those turned
out from Uncle Sans minis are the
latest in the coniacker's art, and St.
Louis is the first city to suffer from
them. For the last week St. Louis
bank tellers have been accepting the
counterfeits in question without hest
tation. It was only when they reached
the St. Louis Sub-Treasury that their
spurious character was detected.
United States Treasurer Small sent
one to the mint for assay. He re-
ceived reply in which the statement
was made that there was no doubt
that there was more pure silver in the
counterfeit than in q genuine coin,
and that its fneness exceeded that OF
the genuine.

Geological Probabilities at Klondike.

It is worthy Of note that the COM
parative lowness of standard of the
gold is, under the existing conditions,
in favor Of the view that the placer
gold is derived from the erosion
Of auriferous quartz lodes formerly
existing at higher level, and has not
been formed in stu by being deposited
from solution. For, according to
those who support the former view,
placer gold becomes Of higher standard
than reef gold after it has found its
way into the drifts, the base metals
being gradually removed by the solvent
action of running water, in which gold
is not readily soluble. Since, howev'
or, the Klondike gold has been frozen
up during a large part Of the time
since it was deposited in the gravel, it
is Obvious that it cannot have altered
in composition so much as the gold in
river sands further south, and might
be expected to resemble the gold in
the parent lodes, which is not usually
more than 800 fine. The low standard
of the gold is not so readily accounted
for by the accretion theory Of formation
Of placer gold. Some auriferous veins
have already been discovered both in
the creek valleys and on the mountains
round them, although no direct evil
dence has yet been adduced to connect
these lodes with the sources of the
placer gold. Moreover, many nuggets
have been found adhering to quartz,
so that the weight of evidence appears
to be in favor of the view that the gold
in these placers, at any rate, has been
laid down there by mechanical rather
than chemical processes.-Nature. =,
