CALIFORNIA PRuNEs IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. jan 12.-The Journal of Com
merce says: Recent offerings OF Pacific Coast
prunes at auction have had depressing influ-
ence upon spot prices, from which the market
seems to be recovering as a result OF stronger
reports from California. Stocks on the coast
are reported to be unusually small for this sea-
son, and according to latest mail advices from
there holders seem imbued with confidence in
the future and are not disposed to close out
stocks except at full prices. While the de-
mand here shows little improvement there is
reported to- be more inquiry for consumers, as
the low price for prunes as compared with
other dried fruits particularly evaporated ap
PIES said to be attracting the attention of
buyers. There has been marked improve
ment in spot quotations. but firner feeling
obtains and holders less anxious TO make
sales now that cheap auction lots are believed
TO be out of the wav

The Restaurant Glass.

"Give me Il glass of water, please"
The request was made to 4 waiter
behind the marble top lunch counter
of Il well known restaurant in the cen
trail part of the city.
"All right. SIR" was the walters re-
ply. Il will just as soon as you put
your glass down"
The man looked first at the empty
glass he held in his hand and then at
the waiter. TIscn his choler began to
rise at what he considered an unwar-
ranted piece of impertinence. The
waiter evidently saw the outbrust of
wrath that was coming.
mo offense meant, sir" he hastily
explained. You see, it's just this
way: The first thing n waiter learns,
and he learns it by dearly bought ex-
perience, too, is never to take glass
from another persons hand. Why?
Because if he does the chances are
about even that the glass will fall and
be smashed in the transfer This is
particularly true if the top of the ia
bic, as this one is. You probably IN
derstand that when a waiter breaks
anything in a hotel or restaurant he
has to pay for it, and you probably
now understand why it was that
would fill your glassNas soon as you put
it down so that could pick it up my
self. "-Philadelphia Inquirer.

SECRET FOR TWO YEARS.
Romance of a Young Couple From 4
Neighborlng Town.

NelBhDorinS Io"n.
The wedding in Rock Island some
| weeks ago of two prominent young
people residing in nearby town will
divulge a pretty romance when it is
announced among the home acquaint-
ances of the principals
None of the interested parties
but themselves know of the mar
riage, and it is their purpose to
keep it secret for two years, or until
such time as the groom, VINO departed
for the west Immediately after the
ceremony, shall have accumulated
sufficient of the worlds goods in his
new field of labor to procure home
for his bride, who will in the interim
continue as a member of the parental
household, holding her folks in utter
ignorance oil her matrimonial alliance.
The young man came to Rock Island
alone dav before the ceremony to
secure 4 license. He took the county
clerk and the newspapers into his
little secret, explaining that, as he
was going far away and his circum
stances were not such as TO make it
advisable for him to take wife with
him, and as it was the desire of
the bride-to-be to live at home until
he was ready TO send for her, they
concluded to defer a public announce
ment until they were prepared to go
to housekeeping He was apparently
so earnest and honest in his solicita-
tions for a suppression of the facts
that the county clerk and newspapers
agreed not to give him away.
The wedding took place, the bride
is at her parents home, and the groom
is seeking his fortune in the west.

Birds as VentriIoGuists.

Many birds form their sounds with
out opening their bills The pigeon is
well known instance of this. Its
cooling can be distinctly heard, al
though it does not open it's bill. The
call is formed internally in the throa.
and chest and is only rendered audible
Icy resonance Similar ways may be
observed in many birds and other ami
mails. The clear, loud call of the
cuckoo, according to one naturalist, is
the resonance of n note formed in the
bird. The whirring of the snipe, which
betrays the approach of the bird to the
hunter. is an act of ventriloquism.
Even the nightingale has certain notes
which are produced internally and
which are audible while the bill is
closed

An old colored woman, who was born
miles from home in her 40 years of
life. started on ii journey to see her
nieca, who lives about 80 miles from
Washington on the Virginia Midland.
The conductors personally know every
body who travels on the road, and chill
dren and old people are always confid-
ed to their care. This was the case
with the old cOlOred woman, and the
conductor was requested to see that
she did not leave the car at the first
station reached, as she was very likely
to do unless watched. He sat her down
in the end seat of the car. hedged her
about with her parcels and told her
not to bulge until he called her. The
second stop made was at little sta
ton called Vienna, and just as the
conductor was about to sound the start
ing bell he saw the old woman tum-
bling off the car.
Where are you going? Get back on
that carr lie shouted. Didn't L tell
you not to get out till l called you:'
please. mister, you done called me"
NO, didn't. Get back quick"
Decd you did call me, sab" per-
sisted auntie as she scrambled aboard.
You done call my name twice.
Called your name? What is your
Nance" asked the conductor.
My name, please, sab, is Vienna,

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the
best tonics known, comb ined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on
the mucous surfaces. The perfect
com bination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing catarrh. Send for testimo-
