A Few Marketing Rules.

There are a few rules to remember
in buying beef. mutton or poultry
which the inexperienced housekeeper
does well to bear in mind. To test
beef press it down with the thumb. If
it rises quickly. the meat is good.
Beef should be fine grained. of a
bright red color, with streaks of clean,
white looking fat. The meat will be
tough unless there is plenty of fat
Mutton should be dark colored, with
the fat u clear white.
Veal should be fat.
Soup meat should have as little fat
as possible and come from the round,
and also meat intended for beef tea.
In buying fish the gills should be
red
Poultry should have smooth legs
and short spurs, with the feet bending
easily and the eyes bright. If the fowl
has begun TO turn blue, it is not good.
Grouse and quail both have white
flesh. The pinnated grouse, however,
has dark flesh. Birds with white meat

Wont him one better.

A well known Glasgow divine related
the following anecdote, showing that
the ready wit of Il countryman was
more than a match for him:
He was going to the country for his
holidays and was in a railway train
when Il young man entered. In short
time the two commenced a conversa-
ton, in the course of which the clergy
man asked the youth what he worked
at.
Il am coupler, sir" was the reply.
"A coupler! SO am L." replied the
clergyman with laugh.
The youth looked at him for min
ute or so, then burst into fit of laugh
ter and said: "Oh l see; yer a meenis-
ter. We marry folks. But gang far
Their than we dae | bath couple and
uncouple."
The clergyman laughed heartily and
acknowledged that the youth had the
better of the sally.

The Wen Dressed woman.

A well dressed woman is not neces-
sarily extensively dressed. Clothes
may be costly and well made, and yet
the general appearance of the wearer
is anything but stylish. There is a
great deal in the way clothes are put
on. Some womC are always neat and
dainty to the smallest details, Others
say that $50 long as the general effect
is good little things don't matter" 1t
never occurs to them that it is just the
attention to little things" which
makes q pleasing general effect posi-
BILE. Another secret of good dressing
is to wear clothes suitable to the occa-
sion. The sweetest blouse in the
world, all tucked silk and lace" and a
darling little rose toque" are pretty to
wear to matinee, but they are not
suitable for work.

The Girl ana Her Mother.

A girl should associate her mother in
her social pleasures and enlist her in
terest in them by describing the scenes
and the persons she sees, being a little
confidential, since she is sure Of dis
Greet confidant. Having made the ac-
quaintance of young man whom she
likes she should take the first opportu-
nifty to present him to her mother.
When she has young men visitors, she
should feel and show a pleasure when
her mother comes in the parlor and i'm
mediately try to bring her into the con-
versation, appealing to her for an opin-
ion or suggestion.
| have seen girls look sullen and
scornful the instant the mother drop
ped into the room for a few minutes
when they were entertaining their
beaus. Be sure the young man notices
this, and if he is a gentleman he men
tally marks it down against the girl.
A man who is worth anything puts a
higher estimate on the girl who is
frankly affectionate in her home and
considerate of her mother.
If the mother has-as she should
have-an afternoon every week on
which to receive her friends, the
daughter should assist her in welcom-
ing and entertaining the visitors. She
should dispense the tea, either in the
room where all are seated. or in the

A MAN AGAINST A NATION.
The Most Curious European Wax
That Ever Was Waged.


The most curious European war ever
waged was that which in the sixteenth
century, the period of the reformation
and the renaissance, was carried on
single handed for between five and six
years between bankrupt grocer of
Berlin and the elector of SaXony, who
was the most powerful German prince
of the period. The grocer's name was
Hans Kohlhase, and the immediate
cause of the quarrel was the arresting
of two of his horses in the electors
territory, he being subject of the
elector of Brandenburg. Failing to get
redress, he adopted what was then
perfectly legal eXpedient and declared
formal war ON the realm of SaXony.
The declaration was accepted in due
form, and the war began.
The extraordinary part of the story
is that the grocer kept the war UP for
nearly six years practically single
handed and even went TO the extremity
of declaring war on his own sovereign

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct 2.-There was an in
creasing tendency to dizziness in the
stock market today and the conditions
became semi-stagnant a times. There
was an obvious readiness backed by pow
erful resources to support the market at
any indication of a break in prices, such
as occurred at the opening, but there was
an equally obvious disposition to keep
advances within moderate limits and not
induce any renewed outbreak of extensive
speculation. The adoption of this policy
in stock market operations by well
equipped forces served to reinforce the
admonishing policy of the banks to re-
strict the speculative employment OF
funds until after the money outlook mas
cleared up entirely. The desire TO await
the result of tomorroW's conference OF
coal operators and miners representatives
with President Roosevelt was also re-
straining influence on speculation. AS
consequence speculation f1attened out al
most completely, and this development
was regarded with genuine relief and
satisfaction by the best opinion in the
financial world. 1t is realized that thc
relief offered to the money market by
Secretary Shaw's action averted Crisis
that promised to become dangerous and
the determination is manifest not to al
low the resources thus provided to be
prodigally used for the purpose of re-
newed speculative imitation of securities.
There are various developments to show
also that there are abundant require
ments upon New York money resources
yet to be met and that some of the
possible sources of relief have been shut
off for the present by the possession of
the additional facilities afforded by the
release of reserves against government
deposits. There was a deposit at the
sub Treasury today of $450,O00 for tele-
graphic transfer to New Orleans, and the
movement of currency by express is
