BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.

An unexpected drop of cents in New Y OrlI

Receipts mp to close of the week were cleaned
UP pretty well here ana the conditions were
favorable for steady trade all through the
week until the decline at other places was
announced. Receivers were not disposed to
lower their prices much yesterday, but, OF
course, they viii have to yield somewhat if
prices i'm the other markets keep low and n
setting down of about l cent here may be the
result.
But it is impossible to tell what the future
Will develop. Nobody wants to hold the but

that there would be no more butter received
in either New York or Boston than could

will indicate the absurdity of advertising
ONLY when business is naturally brisk
and ceasing to do so when advertising
would prove of the greatest benefit. The
primary object of using printers ink in
this way is to bring business where it is
desired and not where there is already
too much-if any one ever gets too much.
Then it should be used with extra energy
and care during what we are pleased to call
"dull times" To make business lively
ait time when it naturally would be
dull, extra inducements must be offered,
it is true; but small indeed must be the
business that cannot produce some odds
and ends to make captivating bargain
list.
But take the dealer in staple goods for
instance. There is not day in the year
when advertising will not advance his
business. There are article of household
and personal necessity which know no
season, and the merchant with sufficient
enterprise and business acumen to realize
the fact and act thereon by liberal and
persistent advertising in the local papers
from one years end to another, is the
one whose balance sheet on the first of
January VIII cause him to look pityingly
on the returned Klondiker.
Many country merchant who
has said to himself that he is too
we'll known to need advertising has
discovered when too late that his
new but more enterprising competitor
has secured the lions share of his old
business by simply convincing the house
holder in his easy chair at home, through
the columns of the local weekly, that
better bargains and more of them were
to be found at the new store than had
been given him at the old and well-known
stand The merchant who depends for
retaining customers upon his store being
well known is building-not so much on
the sand as on powder magazine which
will one day blow him into court OF
bankruptcy.

The Antiquity of Glass.

Glass has been employed, we know,
both for decorative and domestic pur-
poses since the dawn of civilization.
The earliest remains date from Egypt
1864 b. G. and are preserved in the
British museum. 1t is an amulet, in the
form of lions head, of opaque blue
color, with hieroglyphics that determine
its date. On the rock cut tombs of the
metropolis of Memphis glass blowers
were depicted as early as $500 b. G.
Stories are told by Pliny, Josephus and
other writers to account for its discov-
cry, but these are very dou btful, so that
we have only to rely upon facts attested
by actual remains.
The discovery was doubtless fortui-
tons. Such lucky finds are often the
work of chance. When it occurred, we
cannot detersine; but, so far as we
know, Egypt, as she was the germ of
all civilization, was also the mother of
this art, which she applied to multi
tude OF purposes, strangely excepting
that which we deem most necessary
namely, to admit light into buildings.
The dwellers by the Nile handed
down the art to the PhGnicians who
i'll like manner bequeathed it to the AS
syrians. Then it was passed along to
the Persans and the Greeks, then to
the Romans and the Byzantines who
in turn communicated it to the Vene-
tians. The monks of the middle ages
appropriated it to beautify their Gothic
temples, and so it came down the centu-
ries to modern times Frank H. Vize-

A PrOvidential Escape.

In MANITOBA Memories Rev.
George Young relates an experience of
his boyhood which, he says, formed the
turning point in his career and led him
eventually to choose the life of a mis-
sionary in the north land.
Early one stormy morning when l
was boy, says Mr.. Young, was feed
ing the cattle in the basement of a sta
BILE when "a terrific windstorm struck
the building and crushed it like an egg
shell. Hearing the crash of the falling
and breaking timbers, l fell on my knees
in terror and began to pray.
In moment, as it seemed, the storm
passed and stiffness prevailed. 1 was
completely encompassed by the broken
timbers and the mows of hay and grain
which had been stored in the upper part
of the barn. was in utter darkness,
too, and at first completely dazed. Find
ing myself unframed, however, l recov-
cred my senses and began to dig INTO the
hay to escape
After long struggle worked myself
free from the hay and stood in the midst
of the wreck
1t was afterward ascertained how
narrowly l had escaped being crushed
to death by the falling timbers. Had
been standing at the moment must
have been killed. The space wherein |
had knelt was about a yard square and
the only place where 1 could have es-
capped instant death.
Much was made of my remarkable
escape, which have always regarded
as direct interposition of Providence,
and in consequence l have devoted my
life to the Masters service

How Snake Poison Kills.

The action of poisons upon the system
is and always has been one of the most
interesting of subjects. Just how and
why it kills has been determined through
a series of experiments made by scien-
lists. The following description is un-
questionably the best and most lucid of
any that has been given to the public:
"The venom may be roughly separated
into two parts-one acting upon the
blood, and the other upon the nerves.
When injected, it Immediately begins
to create terrible destruction in the
blood vessels, the walls Of the veins are
eaten away and an internal hemorrhage
takes place. While this is going on a
portion Of the venom is attacking the
nerves. Particularly susceptible to its
ravages is the 'vasomotor' system,
nerve center which controls the muscles
of respiration. Paralysis takes place in
these organs, and the victim generally
dies from an inability to breathe. -

How Rats Multiply.

In this city rats are found i'll consid-
cradle numbers, the brown rats predom-
mating On the ships and wharfs, the
black rats in the stores and warehouses,
and the AleXandrian rats being limited
to the holds of the ships that como from
southern ports. Weasels and ferrets are
bred to keep down their numbers. The
fecundity of the rats is SO great that in
few years they would overwhelm d
whole city if they were not kept down
by artificial means. One pair will rear
four or five families of 10 to Is to each
litter in one year, and in six months
these young ones are ready to repro
duce. Thus one couple in the course Of
three years could raise d population of

a Hopeless Case,

"a drappie. " "Lassie,' she said to her
little granddaughter, ''gang round to

Back came the child with refusal.
Donald declined to part with his whisky
without the cash. Eager and irritated,
the old woman cast about for some
means of "raising the wind, and her
eye fell upon the family Bible. "Here,
lassie," she said, "gie him this and
tell him to keepit until I bring him the
