is that the l7-year locust is due this

1902 that myriads Of these insects vii
swarm over southern New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, part of
Ohio and the whole of Indiana and
make trouble for all the owners of
young trees. The locusts make their
first attack on young trees. The ten

filled with eggs, The insects that are
expected have been developing from
these eggs for II years. II is not re-

THE STOCK MARK ET.
Early Upward Movement Followed by
 Drop and RecnNerY.

Drop and a Recovery.
 New York, Jan. 24-There were at
 tempts to hold the market this morn ing by the marking up of individual
 stocks, which proved successful for q
 time, as was the case yesterday. But
 the uneasiness of the professionals to
 take their profits operated to check the
 advance and the whole market reacted, dropping generally to well below last
 night. There was another upward
 movement when shorts covered, which reduced the days changes to insignif- cant proportions, but made the closing
 firm. Fully one-third of the days
 transactions were in Sugar and Anal gamated Copper, and the activity of these two stocks was alone responsible for a slight increase in volume of deal ings over yesterday. Except for these there were not half dozen stocks in which the transactions amounted to 10,- | 900 shares. Metropolitan Street Rail ! way started upwards to 172 7-S, but fell back to over a point below last night and closed unchanged. The deal | scale, with no news to account for them beyond the general expectation of a reduction in duties on Cuban sugars, This stock was lifted nearly 2 points, but fell back to below last nights level and also closed unchanged. Amalga- mated Copper fared better, the late re- covery carrying it back to 72 IS, the best of the day and at net advance of 1 7-S. The buying was apparently by a speculative pool, who cited the strength of coppers in foreign markets as an argument in it's favor There were also reports of improved trade conditions as indicated by the good de- mand for raw copper in Europe and re- ports of large export demand here. Rumors of an agreement to restrict the output amongst American producers accompanied the advance. The strength of American Smelling was supposed to be in sympathy. The Wabash stocks and Western Union were noticeaby firm and Peoples Gas showed some strength on the declaration of the regu- lar quarterly dividend. St. Lawrence and Adirondack rose nearly points more on the announcement of the pur- chase of Canadian connection in it's iterest, and the redemption of $800, ,000 of it's per cent. bonds. There was no news during the day to explain satis- factorily the reactionary tendency which developed, and which seemed to be due purely to profit taking.
 The preliminary figures of the weeks 1 cash movement were as good as ex- | pected, indicating a gain by the banks | of nearly $7,000000 in cash. of which | operations yielded $2,37S,- O00. The loan item offers the usual pug zle, but the decline in interest rates and the known fact that interior banks have been lenders in New York detract from the supposition of any large loan expansion.
 The bond market continued quite &C., tive to-day, but profit taking made it's impress there as well as in stocks. There were some newly active issues on the other hand which were strong. To- tai sales par value $3,665,0O

OCCUPATIONS FOR WOMEN.
MARKETING as PROFESSION.

For IS a Week a Woman Markets
for Suburban FoIk-she More Than
Saves Them Her Weekly Pay, and
Makes "A Large IncOme-HOw She
Did 1t, and Her Views on This
Queer Profession.
In a large, fashionable suburb of a
certain city clever young woman is
making a splendid income for herself
by professional marketing" She deals
with only the wealthiest families, but
her idea may easily be adapted to al
most any place and to people in mod
crate circumstances.
All suburbanites suffer inconven-
fences in laying in their weekly sup
plies of edibles, of which city folks
never dream. The cost of everything,
even in quite large towns, is invaria-
bly, more than city prices, nor is
good selection always available. Mar
keting in person takes up much time,
orders are unreliable, and servants, if
entrusted with the marketing, will

the largest commissions, and large ac-
counts are greatly to their profit. To
be relieved of all this care and worry
by having ones marketing done by an
expert is thing for which city house

of town, will gladly pay.

the other side, with care. To the sur
prise of the novice. the bones will all
come away together, if the membr Inc
has surely been scraped away from
the small bones which lead from the
backbone. If unhurried and due care
is used, the flesh will be scarcely tol n
at all, and the fillets are now ready
for dipping in egg and coating with
crumbs for deep fat frying or for cook
ing in any way liked. When founders
are in market, if treated in this way
and fried to a nice brown in deep tat,
they compare favorably with the ia
nous English sole, which is generally
''filleted."
Stuffed Tongue.-Stuffed tongue is
delicious for supper or luncheon, eaten
either hot or cold. If the former, an
olive sauce and baked potatoes should
be served with it. Boil and skin the
tongue, cut a slit in the thick end,
remove the meat, taking care to leave
enough to avoid any break. Chop the
meat, mix with half the quantity of
stale bread crumbs, season with pep
per, salt and chopped olives, press into
the tongue, and bake long enough to
heat through and brown. Any bits of
fat should be picked out and put on
top for basting. If not enough, add
little butter or beef suet. If served
hot, use brown sauce made thus:
Brown two tablespoonfuls of butter,
then stir in two even tablespoonfuls of
sifted flour. When smooth stir in half
a pint of hot water, a tablespoonful
of vinegar and three or four grated
olives. The novice should remember
that the first potatoes of the season
large enough for baking should be
made use of at once, as they should
be snowy white and fluffy" if proper
ly baked, and will prove most appe-
tizing when cooked in this way, par
ticularly when cool days come.
Maple Flavoring Good in Summer
The very best maple syrup may be had
at any time by melting the sugar; in
deed, a home caterer, celebrated for
properly seasoning her dainty dishes,
never thinks of using any other kind.
with this idea in mind delicious dishes
may be concocted for the trying days
when there is no seasonable ripe fruit.
The most popular of these delicacies
will hold its own with the most expen-
sive frozen dessert although the cost
is surprisingly small, and it takes little
time and trouble. Beat the yolks. of
eight eggs until thick and smooth, then
stir into them half pint ofahot maple
syrup, cook in the double boiler, stir
ring occasionally, until the spoon shows
a coating. When this is cool, stir in
a pint of cream, first beaten stiff. Put
in mold we'll protected with creased
paper, pack carefully with salt and
ice in equal parts and allow to stand
for at least four hours. When served,
the smooth, delicate richness as we'll
as the appetizing appearance of this
dessert will make it a standing favor
lite. This may be varied with hot fruit
juices (huckleberry, for instance) of all
sorts. Do not fail to try. The whites
of the eggs may be used in various
ways.

Despite the effort to shelve them, odd
bodices are again in the field. They
take the place of the shirtwaist frocbs
which lately succeeded them for house
wear BUSTING in turn their rivals, and
ever more triumphantly
There are several reasons for this
renewed interest in the fancy waist,
the chief one being that it is the
embodiment of the attainable. Five
yards of material will make one, and
those who tremble at the cost of stuffs
can always find inexpensive remnants
in this length; just now radiant pieces
of Shantung pongee-deep blues,
greens and dull reds-fragments of
voile canvas, cheviot and laine, in all
of which materials the new waists ap-
pear.
Five charming designs give admit
rable hints to the home dressmaker,
who knows the value of fancy stitch
cry and odd bits of trimming.
One of the newest models of all is a
1ow-cut blouse in checked brown and
white linen canvas, such materials be-
ing very much in evidence for autumn
house wear. The linen is of the
heaviest quality, loosely woven and
without stiffening. The chief trim
ming of the blouse, which shows the
usual inverted mutton leg sleeve is a
bias of stout white linen, running
around the neck and down the front
and worked with black A narrow
black wash braid outlines this, some
leaf applications made of the same
