scouand's strange Birds.

From the small island of st. Kilda,
off Scotland, 20, 900 young gannets and
an immense number of eggs are annual

only one egg per annum and is four
years IN obtaining its maturity its num-
bers do not diminish. Obviously such
birds must reach great age, or they
would long ago have been exterminated

Liquidation in certain specialtics has been

Fhfe Period of the Year.
New York, June 30 -Bradstree's to.
morrow will say; Less than the average
effect Of approaching midsummer in
fiueuces Is dlscernible in current trade re-
ports. Prices, too, show strength un-
usual at this period and particularly in
view Of the recent steady prices. This Is
notably manifest, OF course, in the iron
and steel industry, where the tendency OF
values is still upward. though the ad-
markets pointing to individual instances
of business increase at the best possible
prices. The prompt delivery can not be
guaranteed, fancy quotations are In many
cases obtainabe and testimony to the
scarcity of supplies is noticeable. An un-
precedented weekly output OF coke is CO.
incident with statements that the usual
summer shut-dow in iron and its allied
industries will be ignored and claims from
Pittsburg of the placing OF record break
ing contracts for steel tor export 10 Rus
STA. not. however, for immediate delivery.
Predictions OF $40 for Bessemer are well
within sight OF realization and warnings
of OVERRIDING the situation are more nu-
merous.
Wool is more active and firm In sym
patby with other business and sales are
larger, though mostly on speculative ac-
count. A feature is heavy sales of high
grade domestic woods to foreign buyers
but whether this wool will go abroad de-
ponds upon next weeks London sales. Inn
proved crop reports are responsible chiefly
for lower quotations OF products declining
in price this week.
Wheat has been affected by glowing re-
ports from spring wheat sections, but
more especially by continued enormous de-
liveries OF old crop supplies, pointing TO
the 1898 spring wheat yield At the de-
cline there is good buying for export
Cotton crop prospects have continued to
improve, and the raw product Is lower
on the week, with slight shading claimed
also in print cloths, although cotton goods
as whole are in an exceptionally strong
demand.
Sugar is lower on unanimous reports of
improving prospects the world over, but
refined sugar is in heavy domestic demand
and Arm. In industrial lines generally
there Is little more than the usual friction
as TO wages. the most serious disturbance
of all being the Colorado smelling works
strike, which Is one partly OF hours
worked. The usual summer shutdown OF
glass factories Is now complete. Railroad
reports point TO an exceptionally large
traffic doing. and earnings reported con-
tinue favorable, particularly in the North
west, but the passenger and freight rates
are increasing. Lumber retains all OF It's
activity and strength alike as regards the
movement and prices.

1896.
Percy Griffin made a great one handed
stop of Hurlburt's grounder in the eighth
inning wtth two men out and kept the
Senators from scoring. as man was on
third base.
Bowie, the new man on second base,
nIayed third for Ted Sulllvan's Dallas

grand stand. An invitation is extended TO
every lady in Houston to be present and
they are earnestly requested TO attend.
Gilligan has been sold by Austin to the
Buffalo club Of the Western league. That
little red headed boy Is a conner and will
he heard from. He is quite a lively player
and his presence will be missed from the
Austin team.
McMackin's greatest pleasure was in
uniting O'Connor out. The big chief
didn't get hit off OF Houston's left hand
ed twirler He Is the old Mike. as noisy
as ever. though not so ferocious as he was
wont to be several years ago. oConnor
will get good work out OF the Senator'S.

A Bath Perfume

After a perfume bath the fragrant odor
eiings to the body for hours. Perfumed
baths are used extensively by the fashion
able women of Germany. Bath tablets
can be used or few drops Of perfumed
alcohol can be poured In the water Mt
only does 1t perfume the water. but II does
much toward identifying the complexion.
and, II used frequently, will give to the
skin soft velvet-like appearance. so
the ladies OF the kaisers court declare.
The bath takes the place of perfumed
soaps as does nothing else Before dress
Ing for a, dinner or evening entertainment
such bath will be found most refreshing
and Its delicate fragrance will cling to the
body for hours.
