Old Maids in Germany.

"A rather depressing picture of the
life of German women is given in re-
cent number of The Ladies Field
No girls are so highly educated as those
OF Germany. says the article, but the
process does not sound agreeable and
the results seem to profit little.
The education of a German girl be-
gins at six; it is compulsory, and the
rule for attendance is strictly enforced
A mother can not keep a delicate or
ailing child at home without a Doctors
certificate. Work is carried on at the
fullest stretch, and the strain on mind
and body is such that many a German
girl leaves school with her nerves shak-
en- and her health injured for life. Lit
tie time is allowed for gymnastics or
outdoor games. tho some change in this
respect is now being made, and at six
teen the girl leaves school, after passing
numberless examinations, her studies
having included languages. history. sci
ence, mathematics, dancing and sing
ing, a thorough course in cookery and
needlework. II is of these last two ac-
complshments that she makes the most
use in after life. The rest lead to moth
ing, and in the majority of cases the
girl might just as we'll have been
spared the strain of acquiring SO much
supertiuous education.
Marriage is considered as much
sine qua non with German as with
a French girl. but it is not arranged
in the same business slike way, unhap-
PLY, 1t would seem 1t is left to the
young woman herself to attract a hus
band and, as spinsterhood in Germany
has few attractions, girls are contin-
ually occupied with their matrimonial
chances.

The French sardines which have so
long been noted for their superior
quality have deserted their favorite
haunts' during the last season. The
fishers and packers on the west coast
Of France have been almost ruined, as
their livelihood depended almost en-
tirely on this industry. Some of the
packers say that the disappearance of
the smaller and more delicate varieties
is due to the Ill judged economy of the

Next Sunday afternoon, after the game between the Fats and Leans, the White Pass Athletic Club nine and the Soldiers will play ball. This game will no doubt be one of the best ones Of the cup series this season. The w. r. A. c. nine have been in the field every night lately, and the soldiers have also been out batting and throwing the leather. They also played several match games. From now on the White Pass nine will drill like good fellows in order to put up a gilt edge and also a winning game with Whitehorse on the Fourth of July.
 The Soldiers will probably play fast ball. They do not coneede that the Kirmse cup will not be theirs.

Under present conditions local trading is
not very lively and the dull tone Is re-
marked in all the great cotton markets of
the world. Rainy weather in this section
prevents the farmers from bringing cot
ton to town SO that there is very little
spot in sight
No changes are reported In the quota
lions for stocks and bonds.
The rain of yesterday worked hardship
on the fruit and produce men and Nor
ris avenue was quieter than usual. Much
spoiled fruit was to be seen. The early
Florida stra wherries are proving tough
proposition for dealers. The fruit ar
rived In poor condition and damp weather
is causing them to spoil rapidly. One
dealer remarked yesterday that he could
not get cents a box for the berries he
had on hand Apples are also spoiling
but there is fair supply on hand. Ba-
nanas are being sold out and oranges are
getting scarce. The lemon market Is
easy.
Eggs are selling well Just now. The
price has risen lc and is Ice per dozen
straight. Poultry is very plentiful, but
there is no game
Spring vegetables are beginning to come
In and look very fresh and appetizing
Beets and radishes are to be seen in
abundance at many places. The vegeta-
bles are crisp and fresh. Green peppers
are also to be had. as well as a few
crates of early Florida tomatoes. The
latter are a choice variety, but they are
spelling rapidly.
Inferior onions continue far more plen-
tiful than anyone wants them to be. Some
fine irish potatoes arrived yesterday and
the tubers will find a ready sale. Turnips
and cabbage are plentiful with prices
steady. The recent consignment of celery
has not yet been exhausted.
Prices in the staple groceries market
are easy and no changes are reported.

BAXTER & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, March 13.-Cotton prices
opened shade easier TO-DAY. There was
nothing special In character Of early ca
bles and nothing of consequence regard
ing the western situation up to the open
ing hour beyond reports of more ram
along the gulf coast, but nothing Oh
consequence elsewhere.
The Mississippi flood situation Is OF
most consequence for the moment Until
the danger point has been passed. there
will be more or less hesitation on both
sides with certainty of any alarming
news In reference thereto working TO
the decided advantage of bulls.
1t is a question to what extent cotton
has been prevented from moving by
reason of increased rains. If we could
determine this, sentiment would be less
mixed than 1t is. But the bulls occupy
a strong position and 1t appears hard to
get up any enthusiasm on the other side.
Much depends on the clique and not
over eleven million is considered posi-
Bile and half million less possible Tor
the present crop. More rain was the
forecast for tomorrow in all sections.

estimated at $4,000, against 177,0OO last
year. Gables showed 1d2 decline. Amount
