Boston Wool Market.

Boston, Dec. 6.-The American Wool and
Gotten Reporter will say tomorrow:
There has been a very noticeable lull in
business during the past week. the vol
ume of transactions being less than one
half of that reported during the preceding
week. This quieter condition of affairs il
not unwecome to the trade. as it gives
them a chance to catch up on deliveries.
The strength of the situation is in no
wise weakened, owing to the continued
firmness and hardening tendency of val
uss abroad, which enable wool to be eX-
ported at a profit in case it is not wanted
here. The market is in very irregular
condition and quotations on several
grades are largely nominal. Holders
ideas to the value of wool vary and
some lots are held above the market.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to Sab 200 pounds domestic and
34S, 0oU pounds foreign making a total of
6,S21 200 pounds against total of 13,9l5.00O
pounds for the previous week and total
of 1887 600 pounds for the corresponding
week last year
Sales since Jan. |, 1899. amounted to
334, S63, 776 pounds against 125, 1861 $40 pounds
last year at this time.

many others were in favor Of 1t. but
Lamartine most eloquently opposed Its
adoption in his famous speech: "Citi-
zens, l will reject even unto death this
banner Of blood, and you should repu-
diate 1t still more than myself, for
this red flag you offer us has only
made the circuit of the Champs de

The Smart sst Is Not Conposed of the

During the last twenty years our
population has been passing through a
period of awakening in regard to the
usages Of civilized countries, with the
result that the public point of view
has been astonishingly readjusted.
says Scribner's. The people are. SO to
speak, tumbling over each other in
their haste to adopt old-world social
customs, and the paragrapher who
tells us that the wife of the chief mag
istrate wears blue novelty silk waists
to the theater, made by one of her IA
miliar friends, makes a point Of assur-
ing US that the dressmaker in question
is herself "a leading society woman"
Our public press is rife with society
cant and society gossip and justifies the
practice on the plea that the plain
people are absorbed IN the contempla-
ton of the doings and the dresses of
those whom they know only by hear
say. even as an Englishwoman will run
the risk of apoplexy in order to catch
a passing glimpse of her sovereign. OF
this appetite for social tittle-tattle the
wealthy class seems disposed to take
every advantage, pluming itself on its
new Importance to the point where it
is constantly trying to devise some
new extravaganza or inanity. But this
is not the spirit Of the United States,
nor are these the best Americans. Our
nation ia strange is this respect. We
wear our faults upon our sleeves, or,
rather. we suffer surface population
to belle us in various walks of life.
That is the reason why the foreigners
who come over here and try to amass
the materials for a book in a few
months fail to understand us as we
really are. They are led by superficial
ly prominent Indications to believe
many things which are true only of a
limited portion of the population, and
they fail to perceive the sturdiness of
character, the independence Of view
and the social charm which distinguish
a large and constantly increasing por-
tion of the American people, who are
neither extravagant plutocrats nor vul-
gar braggarts and despisers of civilized

EUPHEMIA WOODS
Snow In Place of Ice.

'ATo those housekeepers who fre-
nuently make ice-creams and frozen
custards. now is the time for them to
prepare to put up snow for future use,"
remarked lady to a Washington Star
reporter. For the past three weeks l
have made all the creams and custards
have used with snow, and l have
packed away enough to last me
nsonth or so, even II we do not have
any more SHOWS. Snow is much easier
to use in freezers than ice and freezes
much more rapidly, not requiring one
fourth the quantity Of salt. My plan
OF putting up snow is to pack it in
barrels. There is no expense about it,
except the barrels, and most cellars
have enough barrels to furnish the ia
cilities for securing all the snow that
can be used. OF course there has been
NO occasion to use barrels this week,
for the snow was plenty enough. The
indications are also that there will be
more snow, but to be on the safe side
have a half-dozen extra barrels ready.
II we'll packed, the snow will keep six
weeks or more during the weather we
usually have in February and March,
but II there are to be no more SHOWS
and 1t only lasted a month. that much
would be gained or saved in the way Of
being able to avoid the expense of ice.
The barrels containing the stock of
snow should be placed In the yard. not
in the cellar, and II possible on the
shady side of the yard and as near the
fence as possible, SO as to cut OF wind
draushts that carry with them the hot
air. There should be tops ON them,
and a couple of days after the first
filling, when they have settled down.
they should be repacked and pounded
down. In time the snow becomes al
most solid and lasts almost as long as
a piece of ice of the same size. The
advantage in its favor is that it prac-
tically costs nothing, gives the children
some fun in packing 1t away, cleans up
the yard to the extent Of getting rid of
that much snow and freezes your foo ds
quicker than ice. besides saving the
salt. Is it Yankee trick? Oh, yes
