DEAR MONEY IN LONDON.

London. April 1O.-The money market
IS very firm; and the rise in the bank
rate Is Interpreted as a measure 10 pro
tect the gold reserve of the bank against
i drain in the event of war between
Spain and the United States. It is
pointed out that nearly 10000 O pounds
sterling have gone to the United States
since the beginning Of the year. As the
war cloud passes the rate is expected to
be reduced shortly. although there is no
prospect OF cheap money.
lhcre was little business on the stock
exchange last week, owing to the politi-
cal uncertainties, and prices f]uctuated.
according to the varying prospects of
war. The market. however. closed on
Thursday with Il better tone all around.
American railroad securities are yener-
ally higher. though the transactions have
been small.

Keep a Clean Mouth.

A distinguished author says
Il resolved, when l was a child
never to use word which !
could II pronounce before my
mother" He kept his resolus
ton and became a pure minded,
noble, honored gentleman. His
rule and example are worthy of
imitation.
Boys readily learn a class of
low, vulgar words and exples
sions, which are never heard in
respectable circles. OF course,
we cannot think Of girls as be-
ing SO much exposed to this
peril. We cannot imagine a de
cent girl using words she would
not utter before her father or
mother.
Such vulgarlty is thought by
some boys to be SMART the
next thing to swearing" and
yet mot wicked )" but it is a
habit which leads to profanity,
and fills the MUD with evil
thoughts. 1t vulgarizes and de-
grades the soul, and prepares the
way for many OF the gross and
fearful sins which now corrupt
society.
Young readers, keep your
mouths free from all impuritv,
and your tongue from evil )"
but in order to do this, ask Jesus
to cleanse your heart and keep
it clean, for "out of the abund-
ance of the heart the mouth
S peaketh."

There are among these mixed hJmespuns
and cheviOts, cheviots in solid colors with
long white hairs, mixed meitons particularly
rich and admirably, smooth kcrseys, fine

these are made up in coat and-skirt suits.
Many of the new cloth coating' have solid
colored, checked or padded backs. Among
these are covert cloth, Sco;ch chew lot and
vicuna. Double-face cloths are particularly
desirable for travelling and golf c;:pes,
A fashionable lining for melton not of the
double-faced order, is Romon-striped tatfeta.
In choosing taffeta the purchaser should
bear in mind that the softest quality is the
best though the crisper taffe:as rustic most.
Much stress is laid upon the colored out
lining of metal cord and beads or jewels.

Don't snub a boy because his
