down to market requirements. The

wholesale prices are TO be kept stable
and the circular rates maintained with
an advance of ten cents per ton months

on consumers. They do not. as gen.

approaching, and the knowledge of the
coming rise In price does not stimulate
buying now to any unusual extent.

An Excited Fireman.

Some time ago in a suburban town
there was a succession of fires. 1t was
before paid fire department was organ
lied, and the work of subduing the vari-
GUS outbreaks fell to volunteer force OF
fire fighters, who took great pride in their
work. One night there was a midnight
alarm and great crowd gathered. Upon
the arrival of the volunteer force it was
discovered that only one lantern was
available The smoke was dense, but very
little flame appeared, and the night was
very dark.
Finally one cornice of the burning
structure broke out in a sheet of fame.
As the crowd cheered a man at the nozzle
directed the stream toward the lurid
light.
"For heavens sake, man, keep the wa
ter off that blazew shouted an excited
volunteer fighter. BLAINE 1t, don't you
see it's the only light we got to put out
the fire by ?"-New York Commercial Ad-

why Snow Is Not Black or Red.

Why is the snow white? is a ques-
ton frequently asked. Because black
snow would be dangerous; so would
red or yellow. These are warming
up colors," and they change the suns
rays to heat. Such snow would soon
melt again and prove very poor pro-
lection. But white snow throws back
the sunlight IN just the form in which
it receives it. and thus the snow can be
long on the ground. Throw dirt on
the snow and it's dark color quickly
makes it eat it's way in whenever the
sun shines on it. After snowstorm.

VIRTUES IN APPLES.
They Are Good For the System, US
peciaIIy the Stomach.

peciaIIy the Stomach.
Not alone are apples pleasing to the
palate Of the average mortal, but they
possess medical properties of great value
to mankind. German analysts say that
the fruit contains a larger percentage Of
phosphorus than any other fruit or vege-
table. This phosphorus is admirably
adapted for renewing the essential nerv-
Gus matter, lethicin, of the brain and
spinal cord. 1t is perhaps for the same
reason, rudely understood, the old Scan
dinavian traditions represent the apple as
the food of gods, who, when they felt
themselves to be growing old and infrm,
resorted to this fruit for renewing their
powers of mind and body. Also, the acids
of the apple are of signal use for men Of
sedentary habits, whose livers are slug
gish in action, those acids serving to elm
| mate from the body noxious matters
which, if retained, would make the brain
heavy and dull or bring about jaundice
| or skin eruptions and other allied troubles.
Some such an experiment must have
led to our custom of taking apple sauce
with roast pork, rich goose and like
dishes. The malic acid of ripe apples,
either raw or cooked, will neutralize any
excess Of chalky matter engendered by
eating too much meat
| 1t is also a fact that such fresh fruits
as the apple, the pear and the plum, when
taken ripe and without sugar, diminish
acidity in the stomach rather than pro-
woke it. Their vegetable salts and juices
are converted into alkaline carbonates,
which tend to counterfeit acidity.
A good, ripe, raw apple is one of the
easiest Of vegetable substances for the
stomach to deal with, the whole process
Of its digestion being completed in eighty
five minutes. Gefraud found that the
'pulpe of roasted apples mixed in wine

Artificial Light.

A recent writer makes the following
common sense remarks on the use of arti-
fetal light for evening work: 1t should be
made as steady as possible and be SO
placed that it will not come opposite the
eyes, as in this situation it is dazzling
and injurious. Ground glass globes
should not be used, for, though valuable
in an ordinary room where they tend to
diffuse the light more equally, they give
an indistinct light for work and put a
considerable strain upon the eyes. For
the same reason ground or ribbed glass
should not be employed for the lower por-
lions of windows

THE MAJORS VENGEANCE.
Mckinley and the Reporter Who
Persistently AssafIed Him.

Persistently Assaulted Him.
During one of his congressional cam
paigns Major Mckinley was followed
from place to place by reporter for a
paper of opposite political faith, who is
described as being one Of those
''shrewd, persistent fellows who are al
ways at work, quick to see an oppor-
of It," While Mr.. Mckinley was an
noyed by the Misrepresentation to
which he was almost daily subjected,
he could not help admiring the skill and
persistency with which he was assail-
ed. His admiration, too, was not I'M
mixed with compassion, for the re-
porter was i'll, poorly clad and had an
annoying cough. One night Mr.. Nc
Kinley took closed carriage for near
by town at which he was announced to
speak. The weather was wretchedly
raw and cold, and what followed is
thus described:
He had not gone far when he heard
that cough and knew that the reporter
was riding with the driver on the ex-
posed seat. The major called to the
driver to stop and alighted. "Get down
off that seat, young man." he said. The
reporter obeyed, thinking the time for
the majors vengeance had come.
"Here," said Mr.. Mckinley, taking off
his overcoat, you put on this overcoat
and get into that carriage"
"But, Major Mckinley" said the re-
porter, 81 guess you don't know who l
am. | have been with you the whole
campaign, giving it to you every time
you spoke, and am going over tonight
