Is relished by the best OF men"
And women, too, and that's fact;
So come one and all to our parsonage

And bring

Or pound of that;
A pound that's lean
Or pound of fat
pound that's nice
(but not OF mice, or the minister's

But of sugar and spice,
Or tapioca and rice.
A pint's IA pound the world around,
So come by measure or come by pound
And leave your best wishes
And well filled dishes.

WANT THE EMPEROR.
Japanese Minister Says china's Ruler
 Must Return to Pel<In.

Pekin, April 14-Komour Yutaro, the Japanese minister, accompanied by Gen eral Yamaguicha. the Japanese command CT, recently called upon Prince Ching and notified him that the return of Emperor Kwang su to Pekin was urgently desired. Prince Ching was informed that the Elm peror's wishes would be respected by the foreign troops. and that every courtesy would be shown him. It was pointed out to the Chinese plenipotentiary that the Emperor's return was of the highest im- portance as affecting the maintenance of the integrity of the Chinese Empire. and that he should come accompanied by every available soldier, by at least 2o.oO0 men if possible. These troops. it was fur ther contended by the Japanese minister, must be sent into Manchuria as the Rus sians reported great disturbances there, and it was not right that the task of quelling the trouble should be thrown up on the shoulders of one nation. Finally, Prince Ching was assured that. If the 2o,- 900 Chinese troops could not suppress the disorders in Manchuria, other powers would send an international force to CO., operate with China, which all the pow CTS regarded as a friendly power.
 Ne reply having been received to this communication, u Hung Chang was to- day notified to the same effect. and told that Emperor Kwang Su must give an immediate answer.

AMERICA GETS ATTENTION.
Germans Are Greatly interested and
 Speculative Over Our Situation.

Berlin, April H.-The American situa- tion engaged extraordinary attention on the Boerse last week. which began with a sharp fall responding to New York Nor was this recovered. The financial reviews today devote much space to conditions in Wall street, the opinions being somewhat divergent American speculators," says the Vossiche Zeitung, "are possessed with a degree of over confidence, which is a danger for all the world Nevertheless many signs indicate that the day of col lapse Is near.'
 The Frankfurter Zeitung also returns to the subject, suggesting that New Yorks money rates foreshadow a continuation of the boom, and adding: There has been a great excess of speculation In New York, which sooner or later must find its corrective in corresponding setback"
 The Berliner Tagbatt believes that the New York movement has entered a "critical phase" On the other hand, the National Zeitung, which takes a different view, says: Tt would be a grave error to overlook the fact that a magnificent impulse Is growing in American business life. Proof of this is seen in the railway returns which speak an absolutely as- founding languaHe."

AMERICA WAS FEATURE.
In London Stocks Of This Country Are
 Sold In Quantities.

London. April 14.--Actlvity on the stock exchange last week was practically com fined to the American department and the mining markets. There is a general impression that it would be advisable to await the forthcoming budget statement before entering upon fresh transactions. The markets on the whole keep firm in spite of the limited dealings and of the settlement which passed off without ex- citement. The close of the week showed fairly good tendency in all departments.
 Consols were steady and finished one sixteenth better In spite of the general ex- peotation that the government will short ly announce it's intention to raise 50. oOo- 900 pounds by a new issue. Foreigners were mostly higher. owing to the strength of the Paris Boerse. which was favorably affected by the rumored copper deal.
 Americans were the active feature of the market throughout the week, al- though the changes were not so great as might have been expected from the way prices fiuctuated. On Tuesday they op- ened from to points lower, but after wards recovered under moderate buying.
 The settlement showed that there Is not much floating stock left h this market Northern Pacific and Chicago, Milwau- kee and St. Paul, have been especially scarce for delivery since the settlement general improvement once establishd. the market closed firm. Among the in- creases were Union Pacific. which rose 1A points; Northern Pacific IFS; Louisville and Nashville IA; Southern Pacific 1M; ; Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe x; Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas Y; Reading sec onds H, and most others from Y to K.

Manchester, April 4.-The sluggish fiuc- tuations in cotton continue to dislocate business in this market. Indian buyers are holding off, awaiting the progress of events rather than anticipating their wants. Unless there is an increase in buying soon the looms will be idle in the Blackburn district.
 There was some inquiry for China last week and occasionally transactions were completed. Offers of any magnitude in other departments were usually unac- ceptable because of the limits.
 Yarns were influenced by the holiday feeling and buyers are not prepared to resume operationg except in q small way.

Limits of the Authority of Sound.

From the New York Post.
 An interesting matter from scientific point of view. in connection with the death of Queen Victoria. is the distance at which the sound of firing was heard when the fleet saluted as the body was conveyed from Cowes to Portsmouth. Letters in the English journals of science show that the sounds of the guns were heard in several places at distance of eighty-four miles, and that distance of sixty miles the concussions were suffi- ciently intense to shake windows and set cock pheasants to growing as they do during & thunder storm. There appears to have been but little wind to interfere with the propagation of the sound.
