Display and Outlay.
From the Youth'S Comma niop


William Archer, an Englishmap Who
was not long since Hospitality welcomed
in literary circles in this country, on
his return home told some blunt truths
of our hospitality which are well worth
the consideration of Americans.
He cordially recognized the hearth
ness and sincerity of his hosts, but
adds, American hospitality is apt to
be too profuse. Why should a hard
working brother journalist entertain
me on a scale which would befft a mil
lionaire? The possibility of returning
the compliment in kind affords me poor
consolation. A dinner three times more
expensive than you want is not sweet
ened by the thought that you may in
turn give your host a dinner three
times more expensive than he wants.
Nobody but the keeper of the cafe is
the gamer"
Another candid Englishman who was
feted in Boston, New York and Phila-
delphia, complained that he had seen
nothing Of American family and home
life.
Every evening"" he said II sit down
to the same formal dinner in a different
house, every course alike from the oys-
tiers on the shell to the liquors. Some
times the same walters are behind our
chairs. Why is it that no one asks me
TO share his buckwheat cakes and steak
in the morning or to help the children
with chops and potatoes at nOon?"
The same love of display is seen
among us in the custom of wedding
presents. Are we not as a people old
enough to understand that display and
outlay are not the highest expression
of good will?

MID PLEASURES AND PALACES.
The Clark Mansion in New York to BE
the biggest Thing.

Montana people will be interested in the
following additional particulars regard
ing the building operations of w. A.
Clark, as mentioned in the New York Tel
egraph:
Senator William A. Clark, the Montana
copper king, now has the housebuilding
fever. He is in Butte City, giving his
son, w. c. Clark, who is building a
100000 home, the benefit of his advice
and experience. The order for this house
was placed with Lord. Hewlett & Hull.
the architects, the same time as the one
for a mansion in this city. The Clark
mansion will be erected at the corner of
Fifth avenue and Seventy-seventh street,
and will, it is expected, be a rival of the
Vanderbilt, Huntington or Whitney town
houses.
at is said that the Senator will direct
the Fifth avenue work in person. The
palace may cost 81 900 900 and it may cost
5000 900. 1t will probably cost $1,000, 900
before it is in shape to welcome the mas
ter, whose annual income is figured at
5000 900. Messrs. Lord. Hewlett & HUI
say that it will take two years to carry
out the wonderful scheme of the copper
king. The senator intends to rush the
work through within six months. An army
of men is now busy in the granite quarries
at Rangeley Lakes. Me, and at Red

A HELPLESS CHILD.

A weak and puny child is
almost as much abandoned
z to its fate as if it was
~ left alone on a Chin
ney-top. 1t is isolated
from the healthy enjoyments
of its little fellow-beings. 1t
cannot partake either of their
play or their sturdy work
and progress in the. world :
| its whole life is embittered by
incapacity and weakness.
Any woman who expects
to teconie a mother ought to
know what DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription will do
both for her own health and
safety during her time of trial
and also to insure her in be-
queathing a fair measure of
health and strength to the
prospective little one.
Some months before my baby
came I found myself in rapidly
failing health" writes Mrs. w. ].

One of the masterpieces of musical
clocks has just been completed for the
emperor of China, in whose palace, be-
sides pointing out the correct time, it
will play selections with a fully
equipped automatic orchestra. 1t is
pronounced the most complete musical
automaton in the world, having eight
divisions, each of which has roper
toire of eight melodies. All of the
pieces played by this musical clock
were selected by the emperor himself
and consist of 40 foreign and "a Chi
nese recitals. The case of the clock is
made of rosewood, in Chippendale, an
tique style.

There never has been a remedy in the
history of medicine that has done what this
marvellous "Favorite Prescription" has
accomplished for weak, ailing women
It's an insult to your intelligence for a
dealer to attempt to palm off upon you a
substitute for this world famed medicine
You knou what you want. It's his business
to meet that 7cant When he urges some
substitute he's thinking of the larger profit
he'll uiake-not of your welfare.

PRODUCE.

Chicago, April 5.-Heavy covering by
wheat shorts to-day on sensationally
bad crop reports caused jump of 21sc
a bushel in prices. At the close May
showed net advance of 1@11sc. Corn
was dragged up reluctantly by the
buoyancy of wheat, recovering from
sc loss to 1sc gain. Oats improved
b@Ac. Provisions advanced 15c and
lard and ribs sc each.
The filing of buying orders which
were sent in on account Of the weak
ness on the curb yesterday, together
with better cables abroad gave wheat
a fairly good start. The Ohio State
crop report, however, knocked the bull
feeling out of the crowd. The report
showed a condition of IS compared
with so the year before, and with rs
per cent. of last years crop still in
farmers hands. May opened AZ high
er at TN @72hc, sold at 72Ac, then
declined quickly to 70Bc. Liquidation
was heavy on the way down and a re-
covery did not set in until general
exchange of crop news from country
correspondents among commission men
established the uniyersability Of crop
damage of serious character in all
western winter States outside of Ohio.
Chicago received 81 cars, of which II
were graded contract. Minneapolis
and Duluth got 300 cars, compared with
253 the corresponding day a year ago.
Atlantic port clearances of wheat and
flour equalled $4,000 bushels. Primary
western market receipts aggregated
999, 900 bushels against $4,000 last
year. AS the session neared the end,
the crop damage reports became Sensa-
tional, and were backed up by heavy
buying orders from the country. Shorts
became nervous and when an attempt
was made to cover, offerings were found
to be very scarce. The competition
became so great for what little was for
sale that May hesitating at INC jump
ed up quickly to 1880, and closed at
73c. The fluctuations in July were al
most identical to that of May and both
months kept closely in unison. May
still kept the lead as to volume OF
trading, but when changes to July
could be made on even terms there was
a disposition evinced by longs to trans
fer trades to the more deferred flu
ture.
Liquidation on long property depres-
sed corn early. When the rapid rise
in wheat got well under way, however,
shorts became alarmed and bought
back former holdings, causing a sharp
rally. Receipts 1856 cars. May started
shade lower at from 357c down to
$3.50, declined to 34Ac, then advanced
to 35@35Ac, and closed with sellers at
35c.
Liberal selling by the country and
better weather weakened oats early.
Buying by a prominent short at the
decline, however, started an up turn
and the loss was more than recovered.
Receipts $50 cars. May began a shade
lower at 26ss@261ac, sold off to 2561sc,
improved to 26Ac and closed at 269s @
26%c.
Moderate selling by packers at the
beginning weakened provisions. The
Improvement in grains caused enough
covering to bring about recovery.
May pork opened 21ac higher at s9.l2s,
sold off to s9.07h, then rose to 1925
at the close The range in lard and
ribs was narrow.
Estimated receipts:
Wheat, 80 cars; corn, 80 cars; oats,
| 100 cars: hogs, $4,000 head.
