ARBUCKLE'S LIST REDUCED
Price Lowered Five Points From Top to
 Bottom

New York, March 2S.-People in tine su- gar market were surprised by the announce ment made by Arbuckle Brothers this morning that they had reduced their price l1st points from top to bottom. The fact that they were large buyers of raw sugar yesterday at 1-S2 cent advance over the last previous prices led to the expecta- ton that refined sugar prices would be advanced by all refneries. Other reiners refused to meet the reduction made by Ar buckle Brothers, at least by open reduc- ton. It was said to be probable that the reason for the decline could be found on commercial grounds and that the reduction was openly made to open cuts west by the American Sugar Refining company. H. o. Ilavemeyer, president of the trust, speak ing of the cut, said: "This further dimin- ishes the margin between raw and refined, in which to us there Is no profit. If such a course can only be explained on the most abject necessities or the determination to make the business disastrous to all engaged in it. The American company will not meet the prices while the raw market re- mains as it is now"

 From Ainslee's Magazine. South Af- riea exports hides, wool and mohair. and the ranchman would revei in riches were 1t not for the various pests that decimate his fiocks and herds The most deadly one is the rinderpest, a cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa southward, leaving through Natal I saw fifty oxen lying lead about spring, so suddenly had the osease attacked them. It was al most impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at a restaurant, though the proprietor resented any such :harge, and a plethoric German travel, sr who called out in loud tone for roast cinderpest" in the railroad cafe 1t De Aar Junction, Cape Colony, had 70 be picked up in fragments. Dr. Koch and other eminent specialists tried to stop this plague. The country is now recovering from it slowly. Another pest is the tsetse fly, an insect resembling our common house fly, but three times as large. Its bite will kill q horse, COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but, strange to say, does not affect wild animal or a human being. A less dangerous, but more troublesome, pest is the white ant. which is about one-quarter of an inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country. They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen, which sometimes reaches the size of one inch in length This insect is particularly harassing in Rhodesia. At Buluwayo my travelling companion inadvertently left his boots on the floor after turning in at night, and he arose next morning to find the uppers carefully separated from the toles. Lucky you didn': leave your clothes on the floor" was the hotel- keepers only consolation These ants will eat through anything but metal. and for that reason much of the build- ing is done with corrugated iron. The anthill is one of the conspicuous land- marks In travelling over South Africa.

Few people are aware that Gounod once. in moment bf anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed. and. though he afterwards repented c his action. he was quite unable to recall it's melodies. Gounod's opera Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined heneeforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity. he thought better of his reso- lution.

While the bell was being rung. however, and the congregation enter- ing the church, a strange visitor ar rived. It appeared that the Atherstone hounds had met at Ullesthorpe, found two foxes at F'rolesworth Gorse, and followed one across the fields to Broughton Astley. Here the fox, being hard pressed. and seeing the church door open, sought sanctuary there. but the hounds, being close to his heels. followed him into the church, caught him, and there and then dispatched him.

THE WORM TURNED.
story of 8 Man Who Cultivated Nice
 DIaposition.


 DO you see that woman going out?" said the man in the dry goods house whose business k is to make things 'aii right" with dissatisfied customers She's only one of 'em I have a score CT more every day. She's kicking about q dress. We've altered it twie, and she still. thinks it doesn't quite 1t her in the back, it's a hard job to look pleasant and be pefennially agreeable, and never knew but one man whe could do 1t. He was the complaint man in a big store-a friend of mine and he held the place for twenty years. He never failed to say the right thing and was the most perfect jolly that ever was. He knew how to con- eliment woman as to form and com- plexion in way that never was equal- ed. His smile was the envy of all the salesmep In the place. It had win- ming sweetness about it that was sim- ply irresistible and never failed to van- qllsh the most desperate kicker. One day an uncle of my friend died and left him s40,000. A few moments after the news reached my friend an old pa- tron of the store came ina woman who for years had been noted as a kicker, but whom 1t had taen my friends duty and pleasure to make sat- ssfied with her purchases. She had bonnet in hsr hand and was kicking about the sht the trimmings and everything ir - gay that was calcu- lated to carry terror to the stoutest seart. sSo,' said my friend, you don't like this bonnet. You don't like any thing about it. Well, don't blame you. It don't suit you in any way, and it can't be made to suit you. Of course 1t can't. And there's no bonnet on earth that can be made to suit such pig-faced, disagreeable woman as you are, anyway He had repressed his natural feeling for twenty years, but the worm that had been trodden upon through two decades turned at last He then put on his hat. and the place that had known him so long knew him no more forever.
