BRADsTREETs FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Bradstreet's review of
the stock market tomorrow will say A dull
and heavy tone prevailed during the early part
of the week. Support was again given TO the
share market by large financial interests, but
this manipulation was not sufficient to over
come the effects of the liquidation of public
speculation holdings. Industrial stocks were
particularly affected by this tendency and on
newer securities of that class became rather
pronounced and encouraged bear operators TO
attack the general stock list. The strength OF
the railway bond market was a feature, but
neither that the steadiness Of some of the
prime dividend-paying railroad shares seemed
to have any effect on stocks in which quota
tions have been inflated or which are widely
distributed among the speculative public. ON
Thursday, however, the market rallled ana tne
bear interests covered short contracts sufficient
TO cause some of the earlier declines to be re-
gained. The fact that the Stock Exchange
market will be closed Monday. as well as
for the legal holiday Of the succeeding day,
tended to induce caution on the part of the
e1I,.rIe s[y-,1ad s[ort irtarest anoonp rho rro-
fessionas, and the support given by powerful
have some weight. Another circumstance which
appeared to contribute to this end was the
passage at the extra session of the New York
Legislature of the amended franchise tax law.
The unfavorable reports as TO crop conditions
were used with some effect upon the grangers
and Southwestern stocks. but 1t was noticed
that the groups in question participated In
Thursdays recovery in the face Of a further
advance in the price of wheat and on Friday
Atchison preferred was conspicuously and eX-
ceptionally strong. Little apparent response
given by the stock market TO the compile
ton of payments Monday for the balance
of the amalgamated copper subscriptions, with
hardly ripple in the money market, although
on Tuesday the balances at the New York
Clearing house, amounting to over s1s. COO 900,
the largest record. The excellent bank
statement of last Saturday. with gain of
$1,000. 900 in the surplus reserve, also fell
fiat at first. but some influence, both the
demand for bonds and the general specu-
lative situation, may be ascribed to the in
creased ease of money, which was feature
in the latter part of the week. London took
little part in the proceedings here at first. the
markets the other side being dominated by
the usual Whitsuntide holidays At their con-
clusion there was, however, foreign buy
ing particularly in Atchison preferred and
Anaconda shares. Foreign exchange also pre-
sented renewed evidence of weakness in the
latter part of the week, largely in consequence
Of this foreign buying of securities. The mar
ket a whole continues to show that the pub
lie interest in speculation has been decidedly
checked. Commission house business was far
from active and the disposition to hquidate
speculative holdings asserted Itself in the
face Of evident efforts to support prices while,
natural under the circumstances the
bear traders have shown much greater activity
than for some time past.

Scientific Window Cleaning.

To polish and clean windows one
must use the right utensils. Ordinary
water, mop and soap will hardly &C.
complish the purpose. Soap to begin
with should always be avoided in win
dow cleaning. The best of soaps will
streak the glass and make it look
worse than before. Even water can
be dispensed with, or if the windows
are very dirty wash them first with
water and then alcohol. Alcohol will
give a polish and brightness to the
glass that cannot be obtained in any
other way. After the alcohol has been
put on rub and polish with chamoi,
instead of q cloth. A piece of cotton
cloth can be used for rubbing on the
alcohol, but the polishing should al
ways be done with chamois. This j:
not an expensive method, for the win
dows will remain clean and polished
nearly twice as long as when cleaned
with water. Wood alcohol will an
swer the purpose.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Flowers on the Table.
New England Florist


There is no prettier ornament for
the table than crystal vase and few
! flowers. Some make the mistake OF
using too massive bouquets. a pref.
tier, daintier effect is produced by a
single rose in slender vase than by
an eIaborately built bouquet. Simple
arrangements are far more pleasing
than the unnatural shapes and posi-
tons into which often times flowers
are twisted and crowded. Some OF the
table designs are truly iearfully and
abundantly made.
Flowers have a refining influence,
and it is we'll to use them where this
influence will be exerted most efiec-
lively, especially where there are child
rem, and the table is one place where
their influence will best be felt. l
think it was Martin Luther who said
that plant in the window was power
full enough sometimes to keep the
devil outside. OF course, it is not al.
ways possible to have flowers, but a
bit of green is better than nothing,
and little care will keep few sturdy
geraniums in bloom much of the time.
But always use flowers, ior the sake OF
their beauty. Don't torture them
into impossible shapes; each flower
has an individuality of his own, which
should be respected.
Then be careful how you place diff
ferent varieties together. Use roses
and carnations together and you spoil
the effect of both. 1t is the same with
roses and chrysanthemums. In fact,
there are few flowers that do not suffer
by being massed with other flowers.
Close contact and comparison will
mar an otherwise beautiful effect.
You but squander your resources u.s.
ually when you attempt to use several
kinds of flowers together.
Where one can have u winter garden
one can have an endless store to draw
from as we'll as charming bit of
beauty in the room. Some people pre-
fer potted plants for the table. The
adiantum fern is a pretty plant for
this use, being low spreading. A rex
begonia with richly colored foliage, q
primula starred all over with its pale
blooms, suggest the woods OF spring
time to you by their delicate odor and
the ethereal tints their petals show,
a Chinese primrose in full blossom,
either red or white, hyacinth, with
its spike OF flowers giving out fra
GRANGE that sets you dreaming of sum-
ner and gardens-all these and many
others are we'll adapted to serve as ia.
BILE ornaments, and may easily be kept
growing in the window of the living
room. They can be used over and
over again, but it is best not to keep
them away from the window more
than day at time.
Be careful not to ornament too
highly the pots that hold the flowers,
if you do not use jardinieres, and they
are rather heavy and cumbersome fol-
the table, beautiful and durable pot
covers may be made from celluloid by
one who is skilled in fancy work
Crepe paper may be twisted about the
jars in q way that will be pleasing
The flowers should be the ornament
not the receptacle that holds them
which, of course, should be attractive
but never obtrusive.

To Remove Grease and Wax.

There is nothing simpler than the
old.fashioned way of using q blotting
paper and a hot iron. Some of the
modern mixtures do not do the work
so we'll, and they occasionally leave a
blot behind that is as unsightly as the
grease. Lay over the grease spot two
thicknesses Of blottiug paper, and ap-
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1899-07-21

ply for few moments a moderately
hot iron. The heat of the iron will
melt the grease or wax, and the blotter
will absorb it as it melts. As most
stains on clothes have as their founda-
ton grease or wax, this method can be
applied Uftener than is imagined. As
heat is supposed to set some stains, it
might be we'll to try benzine or other
remedies first when in doubt as to the
exact nature of the spot.
The best way to clean hair brushes
is with spirits OF ammonia, as its effect
is immediate. No rubbing is required,
and cold or tepid water can be used as
successfully as warm. Take table,
spoonful of ammonia to quart of wa
ter, Dip the bristles without wetting
the back, and in moment the grease
is removed. Then rinse in cold water,
shake we'll and dry in the air, but not
in the sun. Soap and soda soften the
bristles and do not get them 80 thor

D..fnes. c.noot Be Cured.

BY local applications as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
Of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition
OF the mucous lining of the eu-
stachian tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
