COOKING HINTS.

For change try boiling apples in
sweet cider. When apples begin to
get tasteless, this makes change.
Cocoa loses that raw taste if it is al
lowed to simmer for good five min
utes after being added to the boiling
milk.
A cut potato dropped in the fat in
which vegetables are to be fried will
indicate the proper temperature by
turning brown.
. Have charcoal fires for broiling if
you wish for perfect cookery. The hot
flames close the pores quickly, and the
result is very tender meat.
For preparing soup for invalids
make great point Of delicate flavor
ings. Avoid much turnip or carrot,
and instead have suspicion of bay
leaf, sweet herbs and mace.
When roasting chicken in the
oven, roast it in the usual way until it
is nicely brown, then turn it back up
ward and let it remain SO until cooked.
1t will be found that the juice of the
chicken runs into the breast and makes
It moist and delicious.

CLEWS WEEKLY REVIEW.

s New York, May 26.-Long distance
views of the stock market just now are
exceedingly perplexing and uncertain,
owing to the unusual combination of
conflicting circumstances. Amongst
the large capitalists there is distinct
ly optimistic tone; and, as they exert
remarkably powerful control over
prices and are vitality interested in pro
noting a higher market, this influence
cannot be ignored; although crop un-
certainties and suspicious that insiders
are anxious to tighten their loads eff
fectually discourage the development
of a large outside support. Between
these various Influences there is no oc-
casion at the moment to look for any
decided movements in either direction.
There is little or nothing in the situa-
tion to Warrant expectations of any
Important reaction; nor is there basis
yet for any genuine upward movement,
except through artificial means or some
radical change not vet anticipated On
Il the other hand, there are enough in
Yterests at work to warrant considerable
trading, and the opportunities for
profit in stocks bought and sold with
discretion are likely to be numerous.

YARNS FROM ERIN.
The Absurdfties That Are Born of
INish simplicity.

--= Irish Simplicity.
Here are few samples Of the alb
surdities arising out of the extreme
simplicity Of some Irish folk:
A young man came to confess to an
Irish priest in London whose expert
ences of the humors Of his fellow coun-
trymen would fill book. "Well. my
man." said the priest, "and how do you
earn your living" "I'm an acrowbat,
your riverence." The priest was non
plused. "I'll show ye what mean in
brace Of shakes" said the penitent,
and in a moment was turning himself
inside out in the most approved aero
batic fashion in and out of the pews.
An old woman who had followed him
to confession looked on Mortified.
"When it comes to my turn, father"
she gasped, "for the love of God don't
put penance on me like that. 1t 'ud
be the death of me!'
I think it was the same good father
who, observing the regular attendance
at Lent mission had done nothing to
reform one Of his parishioners, told him
so and asked him the reason of it.
"Ah, father" he replied, II can man.

On another occasion this priest was
called upon to marry a man Of whom
he knew nothing to a girl of his congre-
CATION. On investigation he found the

the Catholic faith very limited

asked. "Well, father, can't trust me

A. LAWYERS EXPERIENCE.
The Story of Convicted Man,
Pardon and a Pointer.

The Story of Convicted Man, q
Pardon and a Pointer.
A good many years ago." said well
known Michigan lawyer who was rem
iniscencing the other day, 'T became
greatly interested in state prison
case. A young farmer was charged
with having driven off ten out Of a
flock Of twelve sheep and sold them to
a butcher. He put up a fair defense,
but was convicted and sentenced to a
term Of three years.
There were plenty of people who be-
heved that he was perfectly innocent,
and even the butcher who bought the
sheep came in time to doubt if he had
identified the right party. After the case
had stirred upNa whole county took a
hand in it. In my petition to the gov
ernor I had the evidence Of the young
mans father, mother and sweetheart,
and I got eight of the jurors to sign it.
made out such good case that the
governor took it under advisement and
finally agreed to issue a pardon. In
speaking to me Of the case he said:
"'There is no sort Of doubt in my
mind that this was case of mistaken
identity, and shall be only too glad to
restore the young man to liberty
1T became my pleasant duty to drive
seven miles over the muddiest of roads
to bear the news to the parents that a
pardon was to be issued. The old man
was under the weather and in bed in a
room off the parlor. The wife received
me and sobbed over the good news and
then went in to break it to her hus-
band. That partition wall was thin,
and they both spoke in loud tones, and
plainly heard her say:
"'Oh, Samuel, there's q man here
who says our John is to be pardoned
tomorrow!
"'You don't sayv he exclaimed.
Yes; it's certainly so.'
"'Going to be pardoned right out,
eh?
Yes; he is.' +

Mary, what fool John was not to get
the other two sheep while he was about

tending to wire the governor to with
hold the pardon said the lawyer, ''but
it presently struck me that I had ad-
vanced about twenty good reasons why
the young man couldn't be guilty, and
/ therefore decided to sing small and
let things 60 on. He was duly pardon
ed and sent home, and the governor
never met me for years after without
congratulating me on rehabilitating an
innocent man wrongly convicted" !" De

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, May 26.-The weather
map was more of factor than any
thing else showing rains in the corn
belt and southwest and generally
cloudy in the northwest. The market
is void of anything of special feature,
further than an excessive short inter-
est which has been accumulating for
about ten days. The visible shows
another decrease of nearly three mil
lions. Liverpool stocks show an in
crease of nearly 100000 bushels, while
worlds shipments are over nine mil
lion, and decrease ON passage of
about 100000 bushels. Minneapolis
received 23S cars today against 402 a
year ago, while Duluth piles up IA
against II.
Corn appears to be exceptionally
we'll bought during this period of dull
ness, which gives us a creeping mar
ket, with upward tendency. Chicago
received 95 cars out of which 1 car
graded contract. There are 100 cars
expected tomorrow which if they ma
terialize, will be anything but burden
some. The weather is very upfavor-
able for corn and if continued will
surely start short covering. r.
Oats are likely to cause some think
ing among those who have worked the
short side. They do not break with
other grains and the longer they hold
these prices the more erratic will be
the recovery. The cash demand con-
tinues excellent, while receipts are
comparatively light. The market, we
believe, will respond quickly to any
pronounced buying
Provisions were anything but bene-
fitted on run of 10000 hogs at the
yards which broke prices of hogs 10 to
15c. There appeared an unusual
quantity of selling orders after the
opening which were very well taken.
Pork has gradually worked below SIT
for the July, which is not surprising
when we find no outside support and
the professional element taking small
scalping on either side.+
