to promise to pay for poetry.
Trouble with many attempts at pub

Why She is Popular.

Looking at people and speaking pleas
antly, although she may feel disturbed
Taking no notice of accidents which
happen to others unless she can give aid
Never refusing a gift when it evidently
comes from the heart and is bestowed
with pleasure.
Making no unnecessary allusion to any
subject which is known to be disagree
able to another
Dressing suitably, with consideration
for the feelings and the wardrobes OF
those about her.
Writing letters to those who have bone
fitted her in any way, or to whom she may
give help or cheer
Showing herself happy when she is en-.
joying herself, remembering it is a pleas
ure to others to make her happy.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
tho Leading Stocks.

New York, April 1.-THE fears of a cor
ner in Louisville & Nashville were some
what abated, today, which seemed to be
the principal factor in the tendency to-
wards recovery in the market. Specu-
lative sentiment showed itself sensitive
however, to the movements in Louisville
Nashville. Thus, when very large
buying appeared in that stock after the
opening. heavy selling appeared in other
parts of the market. and when Louisville
& Nashville ran off to IL under last
night there was prompt rally elsewhere.
This see-saw process was more or less
conspicuous all day. The market for
Louisville continued very feverish on an
enormous volume of dealings, but the
fluctuations were by no means so wild as
yesterday. The stock touched 122k at the
top and closed with a net gain of 11s.
Southern Railway fell back to a position
uniform with number of other active
stocks in the market and moved narrow
ly. The strength which the market show
ed as a whole was by no means universal
or evenly distributed
The government crop report caused
some depression here and there among
the Changers, which was overcome.
Amalgamated Copper was consistently
strong and rose nearly three points. Chi
cagO, Indianapolis e. Louisville ran off
sharply points on the declaration of
only l per cent dividend. The stock
made feverish recovery of part of it's
decline. The United States Steel stocks
were heavy on rather free selling. The
SeHerdly creuiteu report tnat the Dur-
chase of the Choctaw. Oklahoma & Gulf
was in the interest of Rock Island was
followed by 2i2 point rise in that stock,
but the dealings were merely nominal
and the gain was wiped out. Some OF
the buying of the day was based on the
prospect that the bank statement, to-
morrow, will show an improved condition
by the Clearing House institutions.
There was great activity and strength
in the Central of Georgia income bonds
and the Mexican Central Income bonds.
Otherwise the market was somewhat ir.
regular. Total sales. par value, IS, 7O5. 900.

Not euild;no for Foreign Trade.

NOR 9Ouotu9 sS'S"
The American ship and the Ameri-
can sailor have no more active and
consistent friend anywhere than they
find in the Boston Journal. That paper
in almost every issue hammers away
with vigorous logic in the cause Of re-
viving the American merchant marine.
1t is too intensely patriotic to enjoy
seeing the great bulk of our foreign
trade carried on in foreign vessels and
it realizes that the Frye shipping bill
would do much to restore our flag to
the proud place it once held on the high
seas. 1t has little patience with those
who think that because our ship yards
are busy there is no need of a subsidy
bill. We have all, in discussing this
matter, met those who exclaimed
What is the matter with the American
merchant marine? Isn't it prospecting
without subsidies?"
1t is true that a person can find signs
Of activity on every hand in the ship
yards ranged along the Kennebec. He
would see the hulls of more than
dozen vessels rising, besides the navy
steamers in the Bath Iron Works. But
if the visitor were a man of sense and
asked a leading question or two of To-
cal shipbuilders, he would discover
that this shipyard activity had not the
remotest bearing upon the shipping
question as Congress is now consider
ing it. In one yard, for instance, two
coal barges, a four masted schooner
and a tugboat represent all the work in
hand; in another four-masted
schooner and a coasting steamboat; in
another two schOoners for the coast
ing trade; in another a six-masted
schooner and another fore -and-aft
craft almost completed. Two other
yards have a schooner apiece. The one
yard in Bath that builds steel mer-
chantmen is now engaged on barge
for the Standard Oil company, and a
five masted steel schooner for the
coasting service.
Not one of these new Bath vessels
is being constructed for deep sea
carrying. Not one is designed to meet
the competition of cheap-wage, sub
sidized foreigners. Bath shipyards are
busy undeniably, but they are building
vessels for the domestic service, from
which alien craft are rigidly excluded.
Not one Bath keel will enter the gen.
cral ocean traffic of the world. All
these new vessels are being construct
ed for that branch of our merchant
shipping which is protected and pros
porous. Not one vessel is building in
Maine. and not one in all northern
New England for the carrying of
American imports and exports between
our own and foreign lands. The only
two vessels building for this service
anywhere on the New England coast
are the Great Northern steamships on
the Connecticut Thames, and the latest
report is that they, when they are
launched, will be manned by foreign
crews and carry foreign cOlors.

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

Ambition is an itching for something
you haven't got.
Woman was born to wait. First she
waits to be married and have children !;
then she waits for them to be married
and have children.
There are two ways to climb in the
world: one is to go higher than your
friends. the other to have them go lower
than you.
The average man seems to think If he
marries a woman he has her love secure;
but the real problem is to hold it after
he has married her.-New York Press
