cIeaneu up better than last week, A slight
advance has been obtained in some instances

naihiy owing to the fact that fresh arrivals
nave not increased as fast as was expectpd
Buyers are in no mood to respond TO any
higher prices, as they naturally look for in

There was considerable looking around yes

cents was paid for fine lots of Vermont and
New hampshire in small packages, and the
right Kind could not be bought for less But
only limited portion of the offerings came
up TO this standard, and the bulk of the re-
celpts ranged from p cents down. Although
tie quallty OF the make Is improving and a
larger proportion shows new milk flavor
there are still many defective lots and re-
cSiVers have to meet the views of buyers
Inc Standard OF excellence, too, has been
raised, ana what would pass for frs. class

The cheese market maintains a strong tone.

BORROWING IN CHINA.
An Astonished Diner-out who Ate with
Her own spoons.

Chinese buffers have a way, when
their own supplies fall short, of Dor
rowing from the neighbors. At least,
this was very common custom TWEEN
ty-fVe years ago, and goods changed
hands, over the garden wall. with as
tonishing celebrity, the buffers, mean
time, keeping strict account.
AT the first large dinner party to
which / was invited in China | went

myself eating with my own brand-new
knives, forks and spoons. l stared at
them very hard; there could be no mis-
take, for | could see the fresh mono
grams.
i was dreadfully distressed. but did
not dare to say anything. When /
reached home | told my husband, rath-
er tremblingly, for | was quite sure they
had been stolen. To my amazement he
only laughed, and said
Oh, you will get used to that soon.
and when you have too many guests
you will find that, instead of asking
YOU to get more supplies, the butler will
just borrow your neighbors and always
make up the deficiency.
And so it proved. | can well re-
member once, when my husband had
asked eight guests in to dinner only
half an hour before the usual time Zone
for each of the delicious first spring

Now knew we had no mutton. for
earlier in the day the cook had been

Turning to the gentleman on my left.

Shanghai today?'

evident enjoyment.

One of the most valuable discoveries of the
winter is that frozen water pipes can be
thawed out by attaching an electric wire and
running a stream of electricity through them.
1t has been tried extensively in Wisconsin
and Michigan and worked successfully every
time.-Rutand News.
We all have heard of the lrishman who
took dose of strychnine as cure for
the tOothache. 1t works successfully
every time. The discovery" made by
the professor in the University of Wis
consin, referred to above, was so palpa-
BILE means of thawing pipes that no one
else thought of claiming 1t as Il discov-
cry. The disintegration of the pipes by
electrolysis as a result of the method
makes it impractcable.

In this crisis of the republic, when the
one and only question of importance be-
fore the nation is, whether it will pre-
serve its institutions or allow them to be
destroyed because of the greed and gen.

individuals, who have happened to ac-
quire an undue influence with the ad-
ministration, and of whom Mr.. Alger is
undoubtedly chief. Evidently President
Mckinley is disposed at times to get
away from their control. A determined
demonstration from the people should
accomplish that result. For such demon
stration the country looks now especial

that she will look in vain;

1.-THE I.ewaIO Kick !"

In reply to an article published in
the Star" of last evening entitled,
Kick from Kewalo," l respectfully
ask that the writer visit Kewalo and
ascertain for himself the cause of
the so-called kick; certainly he may
be correct in stating that a certain par
ty has filled his lands to be above the
level of his neighbor's. but does that
justify him in deliberately cutting a
ditch across property other than his
own, and dumping large volume of
water onto his neighbor whose lands
are lower, and serve as a basin to drain
his lands and surplus flow of an arte-
sian we'll?
Facts regarding this complaint aye
rather at high tension just now, and
probably before long the kickers will
seek justification through a source
which willresponda little more kindly.
