HOGS-Buyers and sellers were slow this
morning about getting together on prices
and for that reason the morning was we'll
advanced before much was done. Sellers
were holding their droves for more money
than packers were willing to pay and both
sides had to make a few concessions. The
market finally settled down to a 5d10c ad-
vance over yesterdays average, or, in
other words, today's market was about like
yesterdays extreme close. The bulk of the
hogs sold from $6.75 to $3.50 and as high as
CO.'S was paid. After the hogs began to
change hands II was not long before most
everything was disposed of. Representa-

Well-Paid Ministers.

One of the best-paid preachers in the
United States is DR.. Emil G. Hirsch,
pastor of Sinai congregation, Chicago,
who receives $4,000 a year, and has a
contract for this salary running fifteen
years from 1899. This contract was
drawn up and signed to prevent Dr..
Hirsch from accepting a call to Temple
Emanu-El, New York
Bishop Potter of New York also has a
salary of $1,000, Bishops Merrill, War
rem, Foss, Hurst, Walden, Mallalieu,
Fowler, Vincent, Fitzgerald, Joyce,
Goodsell, McCabe, Crenston, Moore and
Hamilton of the Methodist Episcopal
church receive $474O each.
Central Congregational church of Tope-
ka, Kas., who gained fame as the author
of ''In His Steps," recently had his sal
airy increased from $1,000 to $500 Il
year, and it was said at the time that he
had refused an offer Of $4,000 year to
take charge of church in London.
The average salary of pastors in the
principal denominations in the United
States is about $1,000 outside the large
cities, in the leading cities the average is
about $4,000, though in New York, if one
excerpts the pastors of missions. it is
probably $4,000. 1t is said that the sal
aries of Episcopal and Presbyterian min
listers are higher on the average than
those of other denominations.
1t is only in the great business enter
prises, however, that men may aspire to
the highest salaries. And the law OF
price or salary, whether for hand or
brain, is the skill, and the amount of
for the market as are the goods.-New

Early Blooming Plants.

Where one has only window garden
or vacant window Il few seeds Of out
door ANIMALS can be sown in boxes for
early blooming plants. Six weeks be-
fore it is safe to set the plants in the
open ground is the right time to SOW the
seed. Among the more popular seeds to
SOW are aster, zinnia. verbena, phlox,
cosmos, Marguerite, carnation, pansy,
single dahlia. balsam, begonia and petu-
MIA. Shallow boxes two to two and one
half inches deep, cigar boxes will do,
should be filled nearly full of light, rich
soil, we'll frmed, then wet, the seeds
scattered thinly on top and covered very
lightly. Set near the glass, but shade
from direct sunlight with a newspaper,
removing the same at night. If one has
small greenhouse or hotbed the first
cutting Of dahlias, crysanthemums, fu-
chsias, etc. should be put in. Some
dwarf French cannas may be ported and
given gentle heat. Cuttings of bedding
plants must be put in early if they were
neglected in February. Seeds Of Chinese
primrose, calceolaria, cineraria and 9th
er plants Of this class can be sown now
to carry through the summer gSefor au-
tumn and winter boomers. They do
much, better and make larger, stronger
plants than when s9wn in August.-Good

How to Have Beautiful Shoulders.

A woman who wants beautiful shout.
dcrs should sleep on her back on q flat
mattress without pillow. Try to walk
about with the shoulders touching at the
back
Round shoulders result frequently
from the manner of ones carriage. The
head should be carried straight, not too
far forward, and the shoulders should he
held back with the chest forward.
Very often there is great difference
in the height of the shoulders, or even in
the breadth. To obviate this. the small
er should be massaged and exercised. and
the larger should be forced to rest
TO have one shoulder higher than the
other is a common fault among young
people, and arises usually from a hahif
of sitting badly when at work. A good
exercise is to walk a bout several times
a day with long stick in the hand 50
that the low shoulder is raised inyolun-
tarily to hold it.
OF course massage Of the shoulders
may work wonders if it is properly done,
OF course a short neck cannot really he
heightened. but as a swanlike throat is
the desire of every female creature any
thing that will even stimulate it is desir-
able. TO 10 this the neck should be
massaged. a fat neck can never s,lp-
gest swan.
When the back is too round. massage
may easily assist with proper Carriage
to straighten it. In conjunction with
this it is we'll every morning to rub the
back with a rough towel. This exercise
is good for the arms, for the circulation
and also for the skin.-New York World.

Do Not Excite the Baby.

There is no wonder if a young child is

who turns night into day and makes life

or amid the distractions of company.
Some years ago 1 was attending meet
ing of the prominent women of the
country in New York. We listened to
some papers on education and on hygiene
and the wise management Of the home
and the development of the child, and at
the close of one of the sessions three o.
four of us were invited to come the next
day to beautiful home on Fifth avenue
and "see the babies bathe." We did so,
to our shame be it spoken, and pair of
twins was given their bath before half 2
dozen ladies, who stimulated the little

The Kaiser Of Germany was evidently
80 much pleased that his brother, Prince
Henry, has been made a doctor of laws
by the worldrenowned Harvard Uni
versity, that he cabled his congratula-
tons, stating that no higher honor could
be conferred on his brother by any cor
porate body in the United States Inas-
much as Henry is merely an admiral in
the German navy, and an experienced
sailor. the congratulations are pertinent,
and the Kaiser thinks that the United
States may obtain additional culture and
refinement through the appointment OF
Prince who is thoroughly conversaut
with the literature of Germany. In con.
ferring the degree President Eliot init
mated that the principal merit of Primes
Henry was the good fortune that he
happened to be the grandson of that ii.
lustrious woman who did so much to pre-
serve peace between England and the
United States during the most critical
period of the war for the preservation
of the Union.

Superstitions About Babies.

Lately some extraordinary supersti-
tons about babies have come to light
For instance, the Manx people believe
that it will dwarf or wien baby if any
one steps over it or walks round it. II
some parts of England people bind the
infants right hand, so that it may have
riches when it grows up. In Yorkshire
il newborn babe is placed III mailen's
arms before being touched by anyone
else, in order to insure good luck.
In South America a book, piece Of
money, and bottle of liquor arc placed
before the infant the day it is one year
old, to ascertain its bent in life.
In Scotland baby is considered lucky
if it handles it's spoon with it's left hand,
and it will be perfectly happy and sue
ccssful if it has number Of falls bcfor.
its first birthday. In the north of Eng
land, when a child is taken from q
house for the first time. it is given an egg.
some salt and a small loaf Of bread, and
occasionally a small piece Of money tn
insure it against coming to want.
In Germany it is considered necessary
that child should Ego up before it goes
down in tho world, so it is carried up
stairs as soon as born. In case there il
no upstairs the nurse mounts Il table OF
chair with the infant.-London Golden

REPUTATION FOR CHEAPNESS.
One Butcher Made His by Marking
Down Things Not in Stock,

Early in his career as a lawyer, the
late William Mckinley was accustomed
to pass butchers shop on the way to
and from his Office, and for a long time
was puzzled by certain notice which
he saw there. In the morning he would
read, GOOD pork sausages, 20 cents
On his return in the evening he would
find those sausages still 70 cents pound,
but more often the notice was changed,
and the sign read: "Fine pork sausages
~ Tor sometimes) 10 cents.'' The
matter, he said, used to worry him. Sau-
sages were not of so perishable nature
that they. would not keep till the next
day, and he could not understand it. So
one evening he stopped at the shop, made
some casual remark, and then inquired
the price of sausages. '"Ten cents" said
the shopkeeper. But" replied Mr.. Nc
Kinley, they were 20 cents this morn
ing $50 they we're. Mr.. Mckinley
replied the butcher; $50 they We're. Then
! had 'em, now l haven't. Sausagcs at
10 cents is simply to get me a reputation
for cheapness. Sce!' The future
President saw, and was in the habit of

just come from the funeral.
'"Too bad! Too badr' murmured Sir
Henry. Were there many at the fun

MOTHER SONG,

Heavy my heart 10, heavy to carry,
Full of soft foldings Of downy enwrap
And the outer fold Of all is love,
And the next soft fold is love,
And the next, finer and softer, Is love
And were they unwound before the eyes
More folds and more folds and more folds
would unroll
OF love-always love,
And, quite at the last.
Deep in the nest. In the ft-packed nest,
One last fold. turned back. would disclose
You, little heart of my heart,
Laid there so warm, SO soft, so soft,
Not knowing where you lie, nor how softly
Nor why your nest is so soft.
Nor how your nest is SO warm.
You, little heart Of my heart,
You lie in my heart.
Warm, safe. and soft as this body Of yours,
This dear kissed body Of yours that lies
Here in NY arms and sucks the strength
from my breast,
The strength you will break my heart with
one of these days.
From the Portuguese in Pail Mall Gazette.
