The smaller shorts covered early in the forenoon, while houses with foreign connections appeared to be trading on both sides of the market. The liquidation of long accounts stopped the advance. But the bears were cautious and sold but little while the market went off to points from the top prices The market was finally steady with prices net unchanged to one point higher.

An Emergency Bag-s'Boilel Wa
teri and ssBoil;ng Voter

From scores Of recipes | have culled
the following, warranted to make those
fortunate enough to eat Of them, like
Oliver Twist, cry for moro. =
Yorkshire Cherry Pudding. Pit q
pound Of ripe cherries and place over
night in a hair sieve with half their
weight in sugar, placing under the
sieve an earthen dish to collect the
juice. In the morning take one pint of
milk, three eggs, a pinch of salt and flour
enough to make batter Stir in the
drained cherries Bake one hour, or boil
two Heat the juice, add little butter
and sugar and use as pudding sauce
Iced Cherries Select sound, ripe
fruit on the stems. Dip in beaten white
of egg, then in powdered sugar, place
on a sieve and dry.
Canned Cherries.-Pit ripe cherries,

juicy, add a quarter Of a pound Of sugar
to every pound of fruit. Simmer gently
for ten minutes boil five and can.
Spiced Cherries Six pounds of ripe
cherries, three pounds Of brown sugar.
one-half ounce Of cloves, one-half ounce
Ol CLiHd1uOI, OuS tablespoonful OIL I'LL
spice, one pint of vinegar. Boil vine
gar, spice and sugar together and when

The Awakening of China.

DR.. Griffith John of Hankow thinks
it likely that 1898 will be known in
the history of Chinese missions as the
foot unbinding year." The significant
feature of the antibandage movement
at its present stage is that, although it
originated within the Christian church
es, it is now being widely spread by the
influence of prominent outsiders. An
other notable fact is that at. the annual
M. A. examinations at Nanchang, the
capital of the Kiangsi province, one of
the questions put was, "What do you
know of the repeopling of the world by
Noah and his family after the food?"
When one remembers the violent oppo-
sition that has hitherto been made to
the study of any literature outside the
national classics, it will be recognized
that such an incident in itself marks the
close of the antediluvlan period in Chi
nese history, for in the Celestial empire
the examination programme does more
to set the fashion i'll reading than any
combination of press notices and circu-
lating libraries could do with us.-West-
minister Gazette.

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

The zoo Uncle Sam maintains at Vel
lowstone National park is growing rap
idly, as appears from the annual report
of Acting Superintendent Major Pope,
just received at the general office of the
Northern Pacific. Black bears have be-
come SO numerous that they are an an
noyance. They break into storehouses
and supply stations during the winter
and destroy large quantities of provi-
lions
In opening canned goods they are
credited with almost human intelli-
gence, though no eyewitness has yet
discovered them improving the method
man usually follows. It is said to be
common sight to mark half a dozen Of
the big fellows feeding on the refuse
from the hotels in one afternoon. Major
Pope recommends the sale of some of
them TO geological collections. Buffalo
alone are not increasing in number.
Deer and coyotes and other wild animals
are thriving. The hostility of the people
of the region who are inclined to dispute
the governments right to maintain a
park for the public benefit is commented
on. Holding to the idea that they suffer
an abridgment of private right in the,
exclusion of SO much of the public do
main for park purposes, the settlers shoot
game whenever they have the oppor-
tunity. -Minneapolis Journal

A New Antiseptic.

A trial has been made in Berlin Of
orthoform, a new antiseptic and anRs-
thetic compound recently invented in
Germany, and for the treatment of
wounds, burns, ulcers, ETC., it seems to
possess many valuable properties. It is
fine white powder, but slightly solu-
BILE in water and not Microscopic. It is
apparently quite harmless to the ami
NAL organism, as injections of from four
to six grams given to animals did not
produce any toxic symptoms, while ex-
ternal applications of 60 grams in a
week had no injurious effect on a hui
man patient. 1t possesses anesthetic
properties, inasmuch as it makes the
ends of the nerves insensible, and the
effect is of much longer duration than
that of cocaine. 1t prevents putrefaction
and has the power of diminishing the
discharge from wounds. 1t is tho ght
that when prepared in the form of an
ointment it will be particularly valua-
bic in the case of burns and will prove
especially useful if applied Tfter the
extraction of teeth.-New York Post.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

The fresh beef market has been rather
quiet and lower prices are being asked
by dealers here. The bad weather has
had a depressing effect upon the market,
and trade has been dull. For the week
the arrivals of beef have been 160 cars
for Boston and 95 cars for export a total
of 255 cars; preceding week. 1872 cars for
Boston and 142 cars for export, a total
of 3O4 cars; same week a year ago, 161
cars for Boston and 81 cars for export, a
total of 25S cars.
Pork provisions are easier. There has
been a marked decline in options for the
week. and the local market quotes lower
prices on pork and lard.
Muttons and lambs are quiet but
steady, with a full supply. Veals are
steady
Tallow is also firmer, with tallow oil
higher. Bulk tallow, 414@4Ac; tallow
oil, 43@45c.

An Emergency Bag.

The emergency bag, or housewife,
here illustrated, has an oval or round
flat bottom of leather or covered card
board, about the size of large egg. It
is made, as the sketch shows, of two
thicknesses and serves as needle book,
pincushion and scissors case, the sides
being kept closed with a button and an
elastic hook. The underside is made
like a fiat pincushion and is furnished
with large pins. Next comes flannel
leaf for needles, darning needles and
safety pins. The fat pincushion might
also, without taking up any more room,
include an envelope or pocket for court
plaster The upper side of the bottom
of the bag has small pair of scissors
held in place by an elastic band, steel

Boiled Water.

MANY people who attempt to cook
are APP to forget that there is a wide
distinction between boiling water and
boiled water, says a good housewife.
water loses it's freshness when boiled
a long time and the vegetables cooked
in it always taste fiat and favorless.
All green vegetables should be cooked
in soft water, salted and boiling Bitter
or lifelesS tea or coffee results usually

ries, but from being improperly made

Trenton's Dollar Gas.

Trenton's success, after many struggles
and hardships. in finally settling down in
the quiet and undisturbed possession of
dollar gas, has aroused the envy of other
cities through the State. Several nnuni-
cipaiities are considering ways and means
for achieving the same result, and a reso-
luton has been introduced in Newarkss
Board of Works, instrueting the City
Counsel to draw up a bill fixing 81 as the
maximum price. Should such a measure
be introduced, 1t will cause a bitter fight
IN the Legislature. The gas syndicate Of
Newark has OF more than one occasion
shown itself to be most powerful in the
Legislature, and it has several times de-
feated similar measures which appeared
certain Of success. With a G. q. r. ma
jority in control there is no reason to
think its grip will be less effective.
