Urom the Chicago Tribunel
The artistic impulse that impels one
to give a touch Of beauty to all material
objects extends even to the green grocer
and the butcher, and the shop windows OF
these tradesmen betray both design and
beauty. The blushiest side of the apple is
always turned toward the passer-by. and
the hectic glow OF the cranberry is further
heightened by the contrasting whiteness
OF celery tops. Fowls that have ceased
to blush are less frankly revealed than
formerly and their meagreness is often
deftly concealed behind branches of holly
and greens. Even nuts receive the tribute
OF an ornamental polish and the olive as
sumes more imposing proportions by being
enclosed within magnifying glass.
This decorative impulse extends TO the
table, and ice cream is no longer served
IN formless masses. but symbolzes the Oc-
casion IL celebrates. prospective bride

Mrs Hammond was very melancholy

A HISTORY OF TREATIES.
Nasson Preparing On
ON Reciprocity Agreements


on ReciprocftH Agreements.
Special Commissioner John A Kasson. in
charge of the work of negotiating treaties
under the reciprocity clauses of the Ding
ley act, is preparing a history of the nego-
tiations with England, which led to the
maica. the Bermudas. etc, and with
France.
Mr. Kasson was notified that the Senate
would probably call on him for information
of this sort. in view of the fact that there
was so much discussion of the treaties and
so many unfavorable opinions expressed
Considerable opposition is expected in the
House and Senate, but MIR. Kasson attrib-
utes the present agitation to ignorance OF
the terms of the treaties and their effect
Every line of each of these treaties, -
he said, was carefully thought out and
framed and inserted TO accomplish a def
mite purpose. II is impossible TO under
stand them without considering the differ
ent parts in connection with each ether and
the relations between the clauses. What
advantages we now have are apparently
relinquished i'll certain respects for the
tain other articles. For instance We re-
duce the tariff on some OF the French pro-
ducts. but they will not be cheapened to
the American consumer, as the French will
add the reduction TO their prices in the
French market and put the difference in
their pockets. The American rival will
not be injured by this move.
We sacrifice several million dollars of
revenue, but in return for that We open
mp new market for many of our products,
which were formerly rated so high under
the French tariff they We're practically
prohibited from entering that country. In
few years our trade in these products
will be of immensely more value to us
than the few millions we relineuish in
revenue.
However the French may boast of hav-
ing gotten the better of this country in
the matter Of this treaty, the talk is con-
fined to the French Parliament. for, when

NEW YORK. Dec. 29-The higher prices
generally shown in the stock market at the
opening OF business this morning were
largely reflections of the improved tenden-
cy of the London market.
The rise in London was said to be ow-

public from South Africa that would in
any way account for the strength shown.
Consols and American shares participated
In the Improvement Of the London market.
Reading was not particularly active in the
local dealings at the opening of business
and the market was not wanting In ap-

Sugar Refining was particularly weak
and Brooklyn Rapid Transit was some
what feverish.
