PuzzIiDr Orders.

a chemist is making 4 collection of
the queer orders he receives from peO-
pie who send children to the store for
things they need. Here are q few sam
pies of them: This child is my little
girl. l sent you penny TO buy two SIT
less powders for a groan up adult who is

mother writes: You viii please give

Another anxious mother wrote: MY

plasther. Send an anecdote quick as
possible BY the inclosed little girl"
The writer of this one was evidently in
pain: Il haf 4 hot time in my insides

Papers on the Hay-PauncefOte
Convention.

London, March IA The Daily
News, in an editorial dealing with the
Hay-Pauncefote convention, says:
The Monroe doctrine has been
made responsible for some strange
pretensions, but for none stranger
than the claim to a military control
of the Nicaragua canal. Even if Pres
ident Mckinley yields to the senate.
it does not follow that Lord Salisbury
viii yield to President Mckinley"
The Daily Chronicle says: 1--WE
hope Lord Salisbury will not yield.
We are all for a good understanding
for America, but we do not believe it
will be attained by cOnceding imPor-
tant interests"

Transvaal half-crown, which, as one
would naturally expect, bears the i'm
age and superscription Of President
Kruger. The man brought it back to
the pay table and said to the captain:
please, sir, you've given me a bad half.
crown" The officer took the coin with.
out looking at it, rang it on the table,
and then remarked: 1T sounds all
right, Bagster. What's wrong with it ?"
''You look at it, sir" was the reply.
The captain glanced at the coin, saying:
Its all right, man. 1t viii pass in the
canteen." This apparently satisfied
Bagster, who walked off, maklrg the
remark: If you say it's all right, sir
it is all right; but it's the first time I've

A Wom=n,s Tear

The tears of lovely woman had been a
mystery through the ages. but James
Smithson, the founder of the Smithson-
ian institution. determined that the
secret should be a secret no longer. One
day he saw tear slipping down a lady's
cheek and instantly sought to catch il
in small vial which he carried con-
stantly with him. One-hal' the pre-
cious drop escaped, but. sewing pre-
served the other half. Mr. S-nitEson sub
mitted ii t. reagents. and next day pub
lished to the world the fact that it was
simply microcOsmic salt, with muriate
OF soda and three or four saline sub
stances held in solution.-Youth's Com

New York, Deocmber 1s.-The irregu-
lar and unsettled condition OF the stonS
market today were due to various con-
q letting causes. There was continued evil
dence OF important buying which has
been attributed to banking interests, and
which is said to point to the consolida-
ton OF the control OF many competing
and connecting railroad systems Efforts
by professional operators to give an ap-
pearance OF continuance Of this class OF
transactions became rather obvious ana
created telling OF doubt and distrust.
Another consideration was that the oDin-
ion has become well settled In Wall street
that the surprising decrease in loans In
last Saturdays bank statement was due
primarily TO the movement of the deposit
account. Another unsettling influence
was London's change Of front. Alter
buying actively here, yesterday, that
centre sold freely today. This was OF
course the outcome of the monetary situa-
tion in London,

Interesting to note with jobbers. Prices gener-
ally are on a steady basi, and good, average
December trade is reported IN every depart
ment The retail holiday business is much the
same as year ago in volume. Flour is little
more firmly held with sales satisfactory for the
season of the year. Pork products have an
easier tendency, Western packers making small
concessions. Sugars rather quiet but steady at
previous quotations. Teas steadier and a bet
ter feeling exists on account of a settlement of
the duty question by Congress. Molasses fairly
active and steady Coffee continues easy on
common grades; others steady and unchanged.
Cheese very firm at the recent advance. Beans
