Rumors that the receipts were likely to be smaller for the rest of the week and reports that Southern markets were stubbornly resist ing the influence of lower speculative markets combined to create a good im- pression among prospective investors and to give bull leaders new incentive Find ing our market in no humor to further decline, Liverpool slowly reacted and closed but IF points under the previous days figures. Within the first hour it be- came apparent that considerable short lines had been put out during yesterdays break by the scalping contingent and some of the leading market operators. Moreover, there was every evidence that weak longs had been shaken out and that little long cotton remained to be sold un- less some new factors of bearish import ance came to light. From S.O1, May re- acted to S.05 within the first half hour and for the rest of the morning continued to improve. By midday S01 had been reached with the undertone still firm.

This remains true today of most proprie-

Scientist Tells why Ehey Are

Needed by Women.
In an article on "Women's Clothing
and Hygiene" contributed to the Re
vue Scientihque by M. Frantz Gle
nard, the author controverts popular
ideas on the subject Of the corset. He
lays down the following propositions:
Il. The corset has its raison d'etre
from the esthetic point of view.
9. Esthetics and hygiene may be
reconciled In women's clothing, even
in the corset.
SO. lhe corset may be Of use in Ger.
tain m%aladies."
These statements. which he &C,
knowledges are somewhat audacious
On the part of a hygienist, he at
tempts to justify in the course of his
article. AS to the first, he remarks
that the adoption Of clothing by man
is the result neither of modesty nor Of
a desire to protest the body against
the weather; it Is a result, he asserts,
wholly Of q desire for adornment-
the same that leads the savage to tat
too himself. Mems costume has tend
ed more and more to straight lines,
signifying action, women's to curved
lines, signifying, according to the au-
thor, that they are made to please"
"Rigidity and strength for man." he
says, "suppleness and fascination for
woman" The corset, then, Is an at
tempt to preserve and accentuate the
curved outline Of the waist.

beneficial to Ties.

Charcoal for pigs has been found
highly beneficial. When confined III
pens pigs will consume coal ashes,
rotten wood and ven soft bricks.
This is due to the lack of certain
elements in the food, usually mineral
matter. Charcoal serves as a cor
receive, and may be used freely, but
it is better to avoid coal and other
very hard substances. Wood ashes
contain a large proportion CT lime,
and If a supply can be kept in a box
within easy access Of the animals,
with an allowance of freshly-burned
charcoal, the pigs will make rapid
growth and keep in thrifty condition.

raADE LIVING BY CRACKING WHIPS
Curious Trade Discovered by the Police

Curious Trade Discovered by the Police
of France.
The Paris police have recently been
Informed by one af the fraternity OF
whfp-crackers that such a calling ex-
lists and claims recognition as one OF
the professions" by the exercise of
which men earn their livelihood in
France.
Whip-crackers, it appears, are men
who possess strong wrists and are
willing to crack whips all day long, if
required, on receipt Of a suitable fee.
At the commencement OF the shooting
season, when the proprietors Of neigh
boring demesnes are not good friends,
the n who bears ill-will to the other
engages a whip cracker, whose duty it
is to crack a whip so as to frighten
away all the birds at the approach OF
the disliked sportsman and his friends.
The whipcrackeTs are also found
useful by farmers afflicted with dis
eased cattle which they cannot sell.
Having engaged a whipcracker, they
turn out the sick beasts on the most
frequented highway they can find. The
cracker follows with his whip, osten-
sibly to guide the cattle, really to
drive them under the wheels Of a car
riage, a motor car or a tram. This he
does by cracking his whip at the
critical moment so as to frighten the
beasts and drive them to destruction.

Weeds Robbery of Moisture.

One who is inexperienced, and who
has made no experiments in that d.
r~ection, can form no estimate of the
quantity of water taken from the soil
by weeds, which is really robbery Of
the crop occupying the land. A sim
gle weed may seemingly do but little
injury, but n pound of weeds will
remove 500 pounds of moisture from
the soil during the period Of ordinary
drought, or more or less according to
its duration and the growth of the
weeds. AS much as 100000 pounds
of moisture per acre is an ordinary
quantity for a heavy mass of weeds
to take. In addition to the moisture
the weeds draw on the fertility, and
deprive the crop of plant food, which
is so necessary in order to secure
large yields. IT is work to keep down
weeds after they get a good start but
it is not difficult to destroy them
when they are very young. Many
crops fail during dry season. more
because of robbery of the moisture
by weeds than because of lack of rain.

Napoleon Bonaparte's Wealth.

Napoleon Bonaparte's will, among
those Of great men, affords the near
est parallel to that of Cecil Rhodes in
the fortune it b~equeathed. He was
surely the richest exile since the world
began. From his lonely home at st.
Helena he bequeathed to his relatives
and friends $40, OG0, 900. He had been
rich, in gold as in power, beyond the
dreams of avarice, and there must
have passed through his hands a pri-
vate fortune such as mortal man has
rarely dreamed OF. His exaetions set
down at nearly 1915, 600, coo, which is,
Efter all, but six times multiplying the
gift he secured for himself from the
Austrian treasury after Austerlitz. He
died forty times a millionaire.

than in the flush of June pasture, and
this with COWS which calVed in the
spring. l used pure kerosene oil, and
l think it is the simplest, cleanest and
most potent remedy among the many
fly ~preventives in use. | use a COM
mon tin hand spray that holds n
quart of liquid, and it is but the work
of two minutes for each COW to spray
them for flies every day. When flies
are very persistent, | spray twice,
morning and night, as kerosene eVap-
crates very quickly. One quart of
kerosene is sufficient to spray ten
cows once and costs five cents or IL
cent per cow.
To test the value of the kerosene
spray from an economical point of
view. | have occasionally desisted
from spraying. On these occasions
the COWS were pretty well covered
with flies, though sprayed the pre-
Vious evening. On the following morn
ing the milk flow fell off an average
Of two pounds per cow and at night
about three pounds from the daily
average for the week. That showed
a loss Of five pounds of milk per d2y,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
COWS were fed an abundance of green
feed at each milking. I am satisfied
that a 1-2-cent's worth of kerosene Oil
and two minutes time give five
pounds milk, which to me is worth
five cents. l have previously tried
tish-oil and other ingredients as a fly
preventive, but find such oil mixtures
are nasty to apply, and emit a dlsa-
~greeable odor, besides attracting
dust and sand on the COWS bodies.
One day last summer l was out of
kerosene, and having no other oily
Ingredient at hand ave tallow, |
melted a quantity on the stove, and
to cause a pungent smell ADDED
about two tablespoonful of turpen-
tine to one pint melted talloW. This
I applied to the cows while warm, and
l found it had a splendid effect in
warding off the flies, and what vas
more, the weather being wet at the
time, found it to be the most lasting
fy-preventiye I ever tried. 1t forms
a scale or coat On the hair that with
stands the attacks of flies, and for
wet or rainy weather, appears to be
much ahead of kerosene. The wet
apparently increases its adhesive
qualities. But it is nasty to apply
and takes a much longer time. A
brush is not very good to apply 1t
with, so for best effects, it must be ap-
piled with the hand. Have the talloW
mixture and liquid warm, and apply
to the withers, front sides, belly,
fore legs and horns with the palm OF
the hand. The tallow mixture IS
withal somewhat dear; SO l only use
it in wet weather and depend almost
wholly on the kerosene spray. A.

Handling PouItrY Manure.

The henhouse must be cleaned Of
droppings every few days at most,
or else the air will be contaminated
by the decaying manure. A load Of
poultry manure is worth several of
barryard manure and it becomes an
important matter of farm economy to
make the best use of it. 1t is better
theory than practice to keep it until
spring; work it fine and use it as a
basis of a mixture for the drill. The
labor required in fning the drop
pings and mixing them will cost more
than the mixture is worth. The
chemical fertilizers which may be
needed on the farm can be drilled to
advantage, while the manure is prop
erly put or with a shovel. So, too,
with the old custom of using the
poultry manure in the muck" pile,
which is carried over the corr field
and dropped in the hill at a prodigious
expenditure of labor.
Placed in barrels to keep, it fer
ments quickly, owing to large amount
of nitrogen content, and it's most val
liable qualities are lost. On the aver
age farm the question Of labor enters
into every calculation, as it is costly
and hard to get. In cleaning the hen
house l have a cart that I run along
side the dropping board so I can
readily scrape the manure in it. When
loaded I haul it to the manure shed
and mix it with the cattle manur 1t
is mixed with the coarser yard nan
ure and kept moist So there is no
chance for fermentation. There is
no loss that l can see and when the
manure is hauled will do it's best work
on the crops.-Grant Davis in New
England Homestead.

Farm Accounts.

1t seems to be a raj thing to find
a farmer who keeps a set of books.
But why should he not? The bust
ness mar who would try to run his
business without correct accounts
would likely fail; then it certainly is
necessary for the intelligent farmer.
The farmer does not keep so many
accounts that he needs a book special
ly prepared for the farm; such books
are sold, but are really nearly worth
less to the average farmer because
of the time required to follow out
their plan. / prefer a well-bound led
ger SKIS inches, containing some 200
pages. Such a book / have been keep
ing for 20 years, and it Ia quite
a history Of the time 1t covers, as
make entries Of important dates as
to work, stock, yield Of crops, planting
seed, weather, ETC., and a compars
year with year. In keeping the book,
each month should have it's page or
more of moneys paid out, for what ex-
pended, with date OF same. Then
toward the end of the book, pages
for receipts of the year from which
the years total can be found, also
amount for each month. In selling
stock, the date of sale, average weight
of each animal, and price received
should be noted, which makes it easy
to compare one year with another.
Another interesting point in keeping
such a farm book is the entry showing
date of planting crops, harvesting the
same, etc. At the beginning of each
year a simple inventory of property
on hand is helpful. Keeping such a
book tends to make a man ore care
full and methodical, it will refresh
his memory on disputed points, show
him all receipts for the year, and his
expenditures for the same. Now my
good brother farmer, try keeping ac-
counts in your business for one year;
keep them carefully. don't run any ac-
counts with your merchant, but run
your farm On better business princf
pies and keep the accounts at nome

Roads Made of GOLD,

The people Of the two counties
south Of Lacrosse, Wis, especially
neal Prairie du Chen, have been for
years using g%old-bearing quartz for
road making and house building,
thinking 1t was common stone. The
finding of a heavy, paying vein Of gold
on a farm of Mrs. N. s. Dousman set
them right. By following up the vein
It was traced for many miles around,
touching, in some places, quarries
where rock has been taken for years.
Lightning striking in the same place
during successive storms led Miss
Violet Dousman to think that metal
In some form existed there. Her In

PARIS TAKES TO HORSE FLESH
Over Two Hundred Shops Whore Cheap
Meat Ia Sold.

Over Two Hundred Shops Where Cheap
Meat Ia Sold.
The taste for horsehesh Ia Paris,
banquet, does not date back many
years. 1t was under the second en-
ptre, during the expedition to Morocco,
that it came into the dietary of the
French soldier. The expeditionary col
umn had nothing to live upon, SO it
slew and ate the horses, and everyone
was agreeably surprised at the quality
Of the meat.
Emile Decroix, a veterinary surgeon
with the troops, resolved to profit by
the experience. Arrived in Paris, he
set about popularizing the horse as
food. He distributed meat gratuitous-
ly to the poor population. IN his pro-
paganda he interviewed the project
and ministers and even had audience
Of the emperor. He opened the first
hippophageus butchery, in the Place
d'Italie. in 1866. It was the siege OF
Paris that caused the flesh Of horses
to be regarded as a positive deltcacy.
That was thirty-two years ago. How
has the notion progressed since? Paris
has now ESQ shops where they sell the
meat; all are prospecting. Last year
10, 1000 horses were slaughtered and
eaten. Rouen, Toulouse, Lille, Orleans,
have all taken to horse eating. The
meat is cheaper than beef. Whereas
one pays 8 francs the livre for good
fllet of beef, it only costs a franc if
you take horse.
The animal that was eaten the other
day with such eclat had a singular
history. 1t won several steeplechases
at Auteuil and Bois-Colombes. 1t was
an English mare and it's name was
Nell GWyn. In November, 1898, the
crowd on the course was very irritated
at the defeat OF the favorite in the
preceding race. 1t revenged itself by
throwing stones. One of the stones
struck the left eye CT Nell Gwyn and
ruined the sight. Nevertheless. the
noble beast wen the race.-Pall Mall
Gazette.
