sKILLFUL COOKS DUTY.
Should Make Food Taste and Look
Well

The true science Of cookery is to Sc
lect proper and nourfshing ingredients
and then prepare them in such a man
mel. as will please the taste, and Incl
IDENTIFY the eye.
The most valuable food will not long
agree with a person il its taste is dis
agreeable. This does not argue that
all nice tasting articles are nutritious
and nourishing. However, it is the
duty of ali food experts to produce de-
licious food and from the best possible
ingredients, and to have a comprehen-
sfve knowledge of the laws of diges-
ton and assimilation.
Grape Nuts, the new food, made by
Postum Cereal Co, Linn Battle Creek.
and now on sale at grocers, is thought
to be the highest type of scientifically
made food thus far produced.
It possesses the delicate sweet Of
grape-sugar, with a new and peculiar
flavor of a most winning character,
while the processes of manufacture
have brought the food to such a condf-
ton that it is absorbed by the system
in a most natural and healthful man
ueF.

Markets.
Savannah Nov 24.-Though the move
ment of prices was not out of the ordi-
nary during the week, still the markets
were seemingly adjusted for business,
which was generally considered satisfac-
tory. The bank clearings were $4,21S991.S5
for the week.
In the naval stores, cotton, and whole
sale branches conditions were such as to
stimulate trading Buyers were taking
naval stores on declining market and
the change in the weather yesterday and
to-day helped wholesalers, and also com
mission men, who had large stocks of
poultry and other provisions on hand.
Spirits turpentine established a down
ward tendency early in the week, which
was not arrested until to-day, when the
market Closed firm at 4715c, after consid-
cradle previous sales were made on basis
of nc lower. Buyers were bidding 47l4c
with the hopes of bringing down the price,
but an element of factors declined 10 sell
for less than 471kc, and it is probably due
10 their action that the tendency was ar
rested. Rosin declined Sc on the lower
grades during the week, after which the
tone was firm and the demand good for all
offerings. Receipts during part of the
week were rather heavy but buyers were
not successful in using this in behalf of
lower prices. The wholesale market was
firm and business good. Produce was
firm, though the market was well supplied
with all lines. The following resume of
the different markets will show the tone
and quotations at the close to-day:

the advance had eliminated prices had
touched a level 12Q14 points above the
close Of yesterday. Notwithstanding that
prodt-taking later caused furries of re-
action, the market held generally firm all
day with shorts at no time in a comforta-
bic position. Liverpool and the continent
sent buying orders; the South and North
ern spinners purchased the January,
March and May positions. The bear ele-
ment was made doubiy nervous by fears
that Liverpool might advance during our
holiday tomorrow. Wall street took prof
its on the morning advance, but much of
this cotton was repurchased late in the
afternoon. In addition TO the bullish ca
bles, bulls were supported by advices
from the South to the effect that spot
prices were forging upward on good gem
eral demand by very light receipts strong
statistical situations here and abroad, and
report from Fan river that some 800 600
pieces extras had changed hands at full
prices with the cloth market strong and
tending upward. The local market closed

Spirits Turpenhne-The tendency of the

after which the price dropped gradually
TO 47Is cents. Buyers saw there was a

The receipts for the week were 1887 casks,

Rosln-After the decline Of five cents on
grade G and below the market was firm
and the demand for all grades good. Prior
to this, however the market was dra ggy
and there were no encouraging signs
Buyers looked for further declines because
of the reports that producers had consid-
cradle stuff yet to ship. This In view of
the large receipts which had been COM
ing in, was enough they thought, to carry
the market on down. Such was not the
case, however. The receipts for the week
were 2O615 barrels, and the exports, 9.174

MIR. LOUIS MANIGAULT.
Death of n WeII-knOwn Charleston
Gentleman at PinOpOIis.

From the News and Courier, Nov. "A.
Mr. Louis Manigault died at the home
of his son-in-law, Mr.. Hawkins X Jen-
kins, in Pinopolis, on Wednesday, and
the funeral services were held at Mag
nolia Cemetery yesterday afternoon
Mr. Manigault was the brother of the
lamented DR.. Gabriel e. Manigault they
had lived together nearly all of their lives
and in their deaths were not long divided
They had Travelled and studied in Europe
together and had many tastes in COM
mon, notably a love of art, and their beau
tiful home in this city had more art treas
ures than any home in South Carolina
Mr.. Louis Manigault devoted the early
years of his young manhood to foreign
travel and though reserved 10 all but in
Inmates to them his conversation was of
absorbing interest. His zeal for knowl-
edge almost lost him his life near Canton,
China when he and an English army Of
ficer were attacked by a mob of enraged
Cinnamon and defended themselves with
short swords until succor came. Mr.. Man
igault visited the Philippines and was not
content with a sight of Manila, but made
long journeys to the interior of Luzon. AT
the outbreak of the Philippine war re-
porter for the News and Courier secured
a brief but most interesting story of some
of Mr. Manigault's experiences. He trav-
eled one thousand miles across South
America on horseback, and his diary, writ
ten in French, would doubtless give many
incidents of thrilling adventure and pages
of scholarly comment made by the quiet,
unassuming gentleman who has for so
many years walked our streets unknown
to the great mass of the people.
Mr.. Manigault was Il years old on last
Tuesday, the day before his death. He
married Miss Habersham of Savannah,
who died many years ago. Two sons and
a daughter survive him.

OWES LIFE TO HIS DOG.
Animal Leaves Master Injured by n
Bear and Goes for Relief for Him.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Stroudsburg, Pa, Nov. 22.-Lying I'M
conscious and bleeding from wounds re-
ceived in a fight with big black bear,
Reuben Harps was found by searching
party of twenty men in a dense thicket
on the Pocono mountains. By his side was
a dead bear. The fight must have been
a desperate one, and if Harps lives, which
is doubtful, ne can thank his faithful dog,
which went from the woods to Stauffers,
and in his mute way told the people there
of the accident to his master.
Harps went to Stauffers few days ago
from Wilkesbarre on a hunting trip, and
Monday started out for game with his dog.
He did no. return on Monday night, and
as nothing was heard from him on Tues
day the residents of Stauffers became
alarmed.
When the dog returned the villagers set
out to find Harps. He was found late last
night. The dog which gave the alarm was
covered with blood when he reached
StaufferS.
