The Caps Of Holland.

Amoa1g things in the wardrobe was
a bushel of white caps, as I learned
when, in response to some question of
mine, my hostess exbumed them with
housewifely vanity. ] think they had
never destroyed one In all their lives,
for those they had worn as young
girls were there with the rest. The
general pattern Of all was the same,
but the youthful caps were Of lace,
while those they wore now in their
soberer years were of plain cloth.
They were St.-Lunaire caps, and it
would not do to vary them. A cap is
a kind of village trademark, and
women Of each little Breton commu
nifty have a style all their own. They
take great pride in the dainty neat
ness of these articles of apparel, and
no matter how elaborate the frilling,
with it's necessity for laborious iron
ing, they are always beautifully done
up.-Clifton johnson, in Harper's
BaZar.

The latest returns Of the British
Board OF Agriculture show that the
farmers of the United Kingdom are
suffering heavily from the competi.
tion of other nations. Their products
do not fetch remunerative prices In
their home markets. Importations of
wheat, butter, eggs, game and similar
articles r large, because these arti-
cles r sold more cheaply than the
British farmer can produce them.
while the important item OF meat is
now brought into the country at the
ration OF 23OO toms a day. Nor does
1t help the British farmer that so
many or his former employees have
gone to the war. and thus rendered
labor scarce.

THE COST OF A SONG.

Over and over and over, the songs Of our
life are sung;
The same today as in ages gray, when
the first lutte was strung.
The same today as in ages gray, the
singers highest art
Is to sing of man and the soul Of man
from the depths Of the human
heart.
To sing the song that fingers in his heart
from that far day,
When men were brave and women fair
and life was in it's May,
Is the singers part of gladness when he
gives his soul to man,
In q song that lives because sweet Pain
has changed his earlier plan.
The husk, the harvest and the bin and
all LIES spreading plain
To the singer must be singing if he mans
soul would gain.
Man in his soul unsatisfed strives for
what cannot be-
He grasps at a star, and holds in his
hands a drop from the sounding
sea.

Over and over and over, since the cloud
gave the sun it's gold,
Over and over and over, since the lines

Has man gone ont from the marching
host to sing of the soul Of man.
The singer who sang of the pyramids

But the sun and moon and human heart
are just the same as then.
The heart Of man is a restless sea of va

And only when the depths are stirred

Over and over and over, since the Shades

Over and over and oyer, singing of sun

An interesting engineering feat,
which has just been accomplished, is
the placing of a steamboat Of $50 tons
ON Lake Titicaca, between Bolivia and
Peru, a sheet of water 120 miles long,
S325 miles from a seaport and $4,000
feet above sea level. The vessel was
built at the Leyen shipyard, Dunbar
ton, Scotland, temporarily put togeth-
er, and then transported in sections
to Molendo, whence it was carried in
% cars up the railroad, which skirts
the steep sides of the Andes, TO the
lake side. There it was once more
put together, and the boilers and en-
gines installed. The "Coya,' as the
vessel is named, is 40 feet long, rs
feet beam and has accommodation for
AS irst-class and 40 second-class pas
sengers. The distance traversed by the
steamer is 100 miles, the journey oc-
cupying about ten hours. The vessel
serves as q means Of communication
between the republics Of Peru and

The News From Havana.

Havana, Maych 20.-The Nuevo Pals
in regard to the number of births and
deaths registered during the second half
of 1899 says: "The births were $50
and the deaths 1860, but this cannot be
taken as absolutely correct, great many
births not being registered. The report
of the department of registration says
that in spite of the best efforts many
births are not registered in Havana, and
it is freely stated that many poor parents
do not register the birth of the children
Though the registration offices are nom
inally free, there is willful delay and
waste of time caused by the employees
in order to make it worth mans while
to induce a clerk to register at once by
giving him money. Otherwise days of
unnecessary delay are caused"

EXCITEMENT ON 'OT ANGE.
Wall Street the Scene of Some Lively
Speculation.

New York, March 20-Much excite
ment attended the dealings on the Stocl
exchange during the day. The occasion
was the announcement that the Metro
polltan Street railway had obtained con
troll of the Third Avenue. This was ap.
pailing news to many spectators who
nave counted upon an indefinite decline
IN Third Avenue stock and have sold il
short with reckless disregard of the
symptoms for several days that the float
ing supply of the stock was being dimin.
lshed and corner being formed
Ihe news that Metropolitan Street rail
way had acquired this stock and the i'm
proved status given to the property caus-
ed a wild scene at the Third Avenue post
at the opening, which was "wide." ST.
muitaneous sales were made all the way
from 10 to 100 compared with S5 at the
close and 662 earlier the day before.
Metropolitan Street railway sold from
l64A to 1877 in the first few minutes.
compared with 1901 the day before.
Prices of the two stocks quickly ran off,
Third Avenue reacting points, and the
feverish tone of the trading prompted
general profit taking.
But all of the new New York city stocks,
which have been sold short by the bears
on belief that the franchise tax law
would bear heavily upon them, very soon
reflected the serious state of mind of the
shorts. Brooklyn Transit rose nearly
points and jumped from G01@ to ~ on
single sale, very unusual variation even
for panic conditions.
The other New York stocks - Sugar,
Peoples Gas and Tobacco-refected the
same demoralized state of mind on the
part of the shorts. In the loan crowd 21a
per cent premium was bid for the use of
Third Avenue stock on loans. Third Av-
cnne later touched 100ih and Metropoli-
tan 1711a.
Between the perturbation of the bears
and the heavy profit taking by those long
of the stocks the fluctuations were very
violent, and sentiment was so much un-
settled that the general market fell into
neglect and became rather dull.
