BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET,


/
| The general condition of the butter mar.
ket is pretty much the same as last week.
Some receivers report n little better demand
while others say that trade is as light, if not
| lighter, and all agree that receipts are more
than ample to meet current wants. Several
said that they had not disposed of all their
| last Thursdays supplies, and were willing
to shade prices in order to clean up, and
that prices were at least half n cent lower
| than week ago.
| AS n rule we are asking 81 cents for best
Northern creamery in assorted size tubs. and
| q Z cents in boxes" said one of the principal
receivers Yesterday, "but we have sold some
| at 20l5 cents, and will accept that price for
more" Another spid, 81 have made up my
mind that cannot get more than 20R cents
for tubs and q Gems for boxes, and win sell
AT those figures rather than let buyer go
away" On this basis the MAJ ket may be
quoted nj 20la 10 u cents,.with the undt rstand.
| ing that large lots could not be sold at over
2Os cents We might add here that some of
the lots carried over from last week could be
bought at 20 cents, if buyers were willing to
make n plump bid, and perhaps 20 to p cents
| would be n better quotation.
| There is nothing new to say about cheese.
The stock in dealers hands is steadily being
| reduced, and is now so small that prices are
| a secondary cor sideraion. Sales have been
made at l2ls to l3 cents, but higher rates
could be obtained if sellers were disposed TO
| take advantage of the situation. The indi.
| cation are that there will be n real shortage
| bcfore any good new stock can be received.
| The new sprOduct will no doubt be forced
along as soon as possible, but II will be of an
| inferior quality for at least II month.
| Receipts of eggs have run light, owing to
the high prices ruling in the West, and but
few are going into cold storage here Choice
| Western have been selling at l3I cents and
at II is price there is demand for all ar.
irving. Special marks of Michigan, Northern
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois sold yesterday at
! l3si cents, which was all that buyers were
willing to give, though fine selected lots for
| storage v ere held at II cents and could not
be laid down here for less. Very few lots
! for current consumption could be sold at over
| l3lS cents.
Receipts of sugar the past two days have
| increased little, and there is . prospect of
| n more II cral supply during the week. but
| mp to this time the market has been almost
| bare. Sales at II to l3 cents, and Is cents is
now top price for lest small cakes. AS
receipts increase prices will probably be low
er. The Vermont crop is very backward, and
from the advi, es received it v i'll not amount
to more than o efourth or one fifth as much
as last year. Still the makers are now busy,
and the crop may be larger than now ex.

Induction Puzzle.

A telephone company in an Iowa
town has made an interesting dis
.covery e1d at the same time solved
a mystery which has been puzzling it
for weeks. The telephone lines, which
had previously given good service, be-
gan short time ago to develop all
sorts OF queer symptoms, the induction
in some cases being SO strong that
person using receiver could hear
half dozen peap!e talking at once.
The Iinemen had bad time searching
up and down the wires for the trouble.
At length. they found a spot where
heavy lead cable had received shot
from a 22-caliber rifle. The bullet
had twisted and cut the wires and
worked several varieties of damage.
The injured section Of the cable had
to be cut out and spliced. Later on
other bullet marks of the same char
acter were discovered. 1t was evil
dent that some one was in the habit
OF making target of the wires, and
as each shot cost the company about
line was little anxious as to who
should pay the bills. He was not long
In finding out. The son of promi-
lent resident of the town was caught
prowling around an alley with small
rifle, shooting at birds on the wires
and In as much as one Of the cables
near his home was ruined by the
shooting, it is assumed that the boy
is responsible for the induction that
has been bewildering and exasperating
the telephone subscribers of the town.
The town has determined to put in
force local ordinance which makes
1t just as much of a misdemeanor to
shoot a target rifle within the town
limits as 1t would be to fire off Cat
ling gun. Town marshal has given
instructions to the patrolmen to arrest
any one seen going about with tar
get rife, and mischieyous boys are to
be taught to let the telephone lines
alone

Above the Clouds.

Airships have not yet been invented.
yet it is possible to sail for day and
q night in fairly comfortable steam
boat at height Of over two miles
above the sea. The water on which
you accomplish this remarkable feat
is Lake Titicaca, which lies between
Peru and Bolivia. 1t is huge lake.
120 miles long and nearly sixty wide
and is over 1000 feet deep. 1t is away
up In the mountains, above the clouds.
Nine rivers flow into it, besides a vast
amount of snow water, yet it has no
visible outlet. The 600-ton steamers
which sail on Lake Titicaca were built
in Scotland, carried over the passes in
sections and put together on the spot.
The fuel Is Australian coal, brought
from 1000 miles away. In the lake
are many beautiful islands and the
cliffs which line the shore, are mag
nificently rugged. In no place can
ship anchor. The water, even sixty
feet from shore, is hundreds of feet
deep. The native boats on Lake IT,
ticaca have straw sails.-Philadelph

Henry Bosse, who at one time was the
proprietor Of . horse slaughter house
on Long Island. Mr.. Bosse informed
President Murphy that the new pro-
vision company intended to slaughter
horses in North Dakota and sell the
horse meat throughout the United
States. The horse meat would be
dressed for the table use and shipped
from the west in refrigerator cars. The
company asked for permission to build
an icehcuse in New York somewhere
in the Italian quarter or in the center
Of the Bohemian district, In the neigh
borhood of Avenue A. In connection
with the icehouse they propose to have
a building for the sale of the meat.
M. Bosse said that the national dish
in Belgium is horse meat. and that
many foreigners living in New York
prefer horse meat to the best western
dressed beef He said the company
proposed 20 do its slaushterins under
the inspection of a representative OF
the Bureau OF Animal Industry. He
said that 34,32S horses had been used
for food in Paris in 1897. President
Murphy informed Mr.. Bose that the
board would give him hearing at
some future day.

RIGHTS OF PEW-HOLDERS.
Are S,ttinss to Be Considered IS Per
sonal or Real Estate?

Are s,ttinss to Be Considered as Per
sonal or Real Estatcs
Some interesting points regarding
the rights of pewholders have been
brought up in Boston in connection
with the question as to whether deed
for a church pew must bear an inter-
nal revenue stamp. In some states
pews in churches are declared by stat
ute to be real estate, and in other
states personal estate. In Boston pews
have always been considered to be
personal estate, and pews in churches
of public worship throughout Massa-
chusetts are made personal property
by statute. There is close analogy
between a pew-right and the right OF
burial in a public burying ground or
cemetery" says Acting Commissioner
Wilson of the internal revenue bureau.
land the interest which pew-holder
has in his pew is held by English
courts to be of an incorporeal nature
only. 1t is in the nature Of an ease
ment, and the holder of the pew or
seat is not deemed the owner of so
much Of the. site of the church as is
comprised within the area Of such pew
or seat. It has been held that pew
holders right is only a right to occu-
DIV his pew during public worship"
This view Of the question regards pews
as personal property. and. therefore.
documents for their conveyance are not
required to cay the war tax.

SALVATION ARMY FARMS.
Commander B0oih-Tucker Tells OF the
Good Work Done.

New York, Feb. 14-Commander
Booth-Tucker Of the Salvation Army
reports that the past year on the COL
ony farms of the army has been
prosperous one, and that the results
thus far of the project of making poor
people self-supporting by transplant
ing them to the country have been all
that was hoped for. The benefciaries
of the plan take kindly to it, and the
work is to be extended. To date the
army has colony farms in Ohio, Colo
RADIO and California, covering LAS
acres, and valued now at $111,OOO. They
are tenanted by 200 colonists, and 1t
is hoped to increase this number to
500 during this year. The largest and
most ambitious of the colonies is To-
Gated at Fort Amity, Colo. There set
tiers from the slum districts of east
ern cities have GAO acres OF rich land,
which they are endeavoring to turn
into ten-acre farms. Chicago and New
Your furnished the emigrants, major
ity of whom had had experience In
some sort of farming, while num-
Der were carpenters and mechanics.
The ground was divided into ten-acre
lots, Of which each alternate lot was
cultivated, but left unoccupied. with a
view to the extension of each holding
should ten acres be insufficient, or
relative of a colonist desire to settle
on the next farm. The plan adopted
to make the colony self-supporting
differs from that of most settlements
in that it involves less of the coopera-
tive plan. Each colonist is master OF
his own domain of ten acres, for which
he pays a weekly rental of from 81 to
50 for ten years, when he will own
the land and house. Truck farming
will be the main support of the colony.
The land, however, is surrounded by
thousands of acres of open prairie,
which, for a time at least, will fur
nish free pasturage for stock.

Apropos of China is an amusing ac-
count of how a Chinaman trains. The
training is divided into three periods,
each consisting Of 100 days, so that it
is almost year before the athlete be-
comes ut" The first period must be-
gin at the time Of the new moon. The
subject has to rise at a. M, walk out
into the open air, draw seven deep in
spirations and afterward undergo q
gentle massage. During the second
period the, treatment becomes more
severe; wooden planks are substituted

eficacious.
