that the outlays in March will not exceed the
enue but rather otherwise. Hence. after next week
the market may not expect appreciable addition
TO its resources from the government until the
month emo. when the position will have been COM
petely changed -Four and half million of divi-
dends will be released April T. and an install
ment of five millions OF Exchequer bonds will be
payable April l2 but the government disburse-
ments will then greatly exceed the income and the
markets resources will steadily increase. Besides.
the shrinkage OF business in various parts of the
country favors cheap money. The banks control

reduction in the bank rate will probably be
avoidable unless the pressure of money in America
is great and London is threatened with

THE STEEL COMBINATION.

sThe Engineering and Mining Journal" says OF
the United States Steel Corporation:
The new steel corporation does not touch the
Southern iron producers, whose output is growing in
Importance especially since the successful estab-
lishment OF steel works in Alabama. Competition
from the South must be reckoned with though
there probably little TO be expected from the in
dependent companies left elsewhere As TO competi-
tioa from concerns which may enter the field
hereafter. that may be disregarded for the pres
ent though IL will become factor later
II has been assumed that the consolidated COM
pany will enter largely into the export trade and
from this point of view IL has attracted much
attention IN Great Britain and Germany. Whether
this view is correct is doubtful yet. There is a
surplus capacity which be utilized for export
trade. but il must be remembered that extensive
sales abroad while prices maintained at
higher level at home viii excite a feeling which
would very probably find expression in the with

PHASES OF SPECULATION

London. March 2-The pinch sustained by dis

speculated in fine bills last week, expecting that
when the bank rate fell they would be able to sell

cent: consequently the weaker bill brokers have lost

oughly satisfied with his literally gilt
edged lot in life that he made no at
tempt to secure a mate, and lived a
jolly bachelor existence all through
the season. His favorite perch was on
telephone wire, which ran across the
pond. From this he would drop down
and take a gold fish from the water,
at times directly in front of the bow
of boat filled with park visitors. He
was unmolested and like all other
birds when they feel they are among
friends, he was destitute of fear.
Billy" came back to Lincoln Park

day or two of his arrival a great
northern shrike or butcher bird, which
had spent the winter in the park kill
ing English sparrows, came and perch

Billy curiously and half savagely. OF

Billy fairly laughed at the shrike's dis
comfiture, and few moments later,
in honor of the event caught a gold
fish of such unusual size that he al
most choked to death in trying to
make it go the way of his throat. This
kingfisher's untimely death against the
plate glass window at the end of his
third seasons sojourn in the park was
lamented by scores of friends.

A Hot Weather Beverage.

Lemonade is one of the simplest
drinks. Properly made, it has no rival
in popularity. Its basis should be dis
titled water if possible. AS that is
generally out of the question it may
have as substitute filtered water which
has been boiled and then allowed to
cool. Squeeze the juice from several
lemons into a. separate vessel and add
two tablespoonfuls of sugar and the
grated rind of one lemon. Pour over
this cupful of the distilled or filtered
water to each lemon used and put the
mixture into the ornamental bowl,
pouring it over the Jumps of ice. Drop
in few fine Strawberries, and the
lemonade is ready to be served.

There is an interesting story con-
nected with this kingf1sher. The bird,
a male, reached Lincoln Park from the
south March IL. 1895. The pond was
still frozen tight, and the fisher bird
had a hard time getting enough to eat
until generous thaw came along and
opened up a hole through the frozen
surface. From that time on until late
In the fall. when frost closed the pond

Wauted-Wheat for Macaroni.
Incredible as it may seem, in view
of our large annual expectation of
wheat to Europe and other countries,
macaroni manufacturers of Pennsyl-
vania and New York are obliged to
import a great proportion of the wheat
used by them in the manufacture of
macaroni and yermicelli. Hundreds of
thousands of bushels of wheat are an
nually imported by the macaroni
manufacturers, for which they are
obliged to pay higher price per bush
ell than American wheat brings abroad.
Even with the wheat brought from
abroad the manufacturers in the Unit
ed States are compelled to use a large
quantity of bread wheat for making
macaroni, and it is this use of the or
binary wheat bread that makes the
American macaroni of inferior quality
to that made in southern France and

away he saw column of hot water

How Love Came.
BY CHARLES w. LAMB.

copyright 1901. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
When Jimmy Marshall went back
TO the regiment after long leave, it was
With a heavy heart and a sad spirit
that caused him to look with glad
gaze to the war cloud hanging over
Cuba.
Jimmy had come in from the regi-
mental station to spend the first long
leave since he had laid aside the acad-
emic gray with the mother and the
Did friends he had scarcely seen since
his boyhoOd- For seven years he had
worked hard and faithfully in the his
tor1c old regiment he had elected to
Join and now with his first ieuten-
ants bar on his shoulder, had come
home again. There it was that he had
renewed acquaintances of the old days
and made new ones and it was one of
these new ones that was sending him
back to his regiment, sad and weary
and welcoming war.
She, who was the cause of it all,
was newcomer to the old town, pet
tite. blue-eyed and authenticated, and
Jimmy had surrendered, hilt to front,
before he even esSayed to draw saber.
He was her knight from the start and
even the sainted mother was neglected
in the short campaign that ended in
his rout, for when he came to the
fatal question, it was laughingly,
heartlessly. but, oh, so emphatic, no.
NO hope, no future, no present, no
past, only a winter of regret
SO scarcely two months later he was
welcoming the hot sun, the fever. the
thirst, the hunger, the bullets of Cuba
and receiving honorable mention and
recommendations for bravery in the
affair at Ell Caney ard for faithfulness
In his care of the fever stricken men.
Then it was the old post again, refit-
ting, recruiting. whipping in the new
men, packing and away across the
westward ocean, and within the half
year of his home leaving he was with
the old company in the field against
the little brown Tagals of Luzon; still
with disappointment ranking in his
heart and driving him into the ex-
element of the war with fevered en-
ergy.
Jimmy had gone through his four
years of cadethood without a single
love affair and as a consequence had
won and still wore the class sobriquet
of the Bachelor" His seven years of

women to start . Paper.

London is to have a newspaper mod
eled on La Fronde, the French daily,
which evolved entirely from feminine
minds. So dissatisfied are the women
who belong to the 385 hockey clubs in
Great Britain and Ireland with the
meager reports they get in one hockey
weekly paper at present in existence
that they have resolved on starting a
hockey paper of their own, written and
and edited by women, for women, and
devoted to their interests alone. 1t is
pointed out by the ladies at the head
of the movement that the men, who
have only 80 clubs among them, get al
most all the space at present in the
paper, and only miserable half-page
is given to women. The new paper will
start next October with the new sea-
son. Miss Thompson, an ardent, skilled
hockey player, viii be tie editress.
