flies, see to shade in the pasture and

possible worry. You can in this way
not only keep up the milk for period
of a month or two, but also prevent

several homes for spinsters. One of

In singing his own songs Moore al
tered the arrangement of the airs and
sang the first part of each verse twice
over at the beginning instead of as a
refrain at the end. In that glorious
song Of his, "Oh. the Light Entranc-
ing.' Moore's own singing of it was a
matchless treat With head appraised,
he seemed almost to revel in the fresh
morning light as he gazed OH the
sight entrancing," and his eye SPAR
kled as files arrayed with helm and
blade seemed to pass before him,
while q deeper feeling awoke as the
passion of the song came upon him.
His voice, enc Of infinite meditation,
sut OF small compass, rose clear and
thrilling to it's highest pitch as he
sang:
Go ask yon despot whether
His armed bands could bring such
hands
And hearts as ours together.
His song was an inspired recitatiye,
and he seemed to improvise as he ran
his fingers over the notes. and as the
tide of thought came over him it was
poured forth in harmonious cadences
Of exquisite variety. Had he been tied
to chair, with the added doom of q
prosy companion, he would have eX-
ploded and gone off like rocket or q
bottle Of sparkling champagne.-West-

Market Stalls Valuable.

Some Of the market stalls in the second
market are said to be worth $1,000 to the
present owners. Recently two or three
changed hands for the consideration or
$500 These figures are startling. when 1t
is known that the city owns the ground
and has supervision over their erection
Such prices indicate prosperous condl-
ton among the market men.
These stalls recently have undergone
pleasing change. By order of the commits
sioners they have been made uniform and
of graceful proportions and together with
the asphalting the market now makes
very credtable appearance.
Under existing conditions the ground
rent paid the city for the right to do bust
ness is from 81 to $40 monthly. according
to location. For the last fiscal year end
ing Feb. /, 1902. the revenue to the city
amounted to something in excess of $1,000.
These market men can move the stalls
away should they choose; they can sell
out to other parties with the consent of
the market committee. The values of
stalls to-day are due largely to the Glen
tele they are able to command; and mar
ket men believe it is only fair that they
should own their stalls and build up
large trade. Should the city undertake to
own the stalls and lease them each year
to the highest bidders, then would much
dissatisfaction arise as the market men
would have to bid high for a trade of
their own building, which they say would
be unfair.
