The Kitchen Table.

In the war with insect life kerosene
is sure weapon of defense. If the
kitchen table is seized upon by reaches
and used as 4 nest for their eggs, do
not burn it up after ineffective scrub
bling and sca:dings. Put it in the yard
and soak it with kerosene. Not one egg
will live. In like manner treat any In
sect infected furniture.

Loose Doors.

When doors do not close snugly, but
leave cracks through which drafts en-
ter, the simplest remedy is this: Place
strip of putty along the jambs, cover
the edge of the door with chalk and
shut it. The putty will then fill all
spaces. The chalk rubbed on the edges
prevents adhesion and the putty is left
in place, where it soon dries and leaves
a perfectly fitting jamb.

He entered the navy from Mas sachusetts as a midshipman on June %, 1S46, and served on the Ohio in the Pacific squadron until 1850.
 He left the active service and entered the naval academy, passing as a mid shipman on June 8. 1852. His rise from that time was rapid. He became a master and lieutenant in 1855: Iieuten- ant commander in 1882; commander in 1866; captain in 1874: a commodore in November, 1884; and a rear admiral iu August, 1887,

A FEW WORDS
About the Proposed Great Isthmian Ca- nal

About the Proposed Great Isthmian Ca-
 nal.
 An, interesting writer in contempo- rary journal has valuable article on the Nicaraguan route, and especially the lake, which is said to be ''one of the prettiest and most remarkable bodies of fresh water in the world.'
 There is, however, serious objection especially to sailors-which seems to have been lost sight of-to this pro- posed northern waterway to connect for all time the two great oceans.
 This inland sea, strangely enough, is filled with sharks.
 President Roosevelt, who has an eye always, single to the best interests of his country, may have had this in mind route.
 Nevertheless, ten millions of Ameri- can dollars, not the Mexican kind, in addition to other 'concessions-and the forty millions paid to the French com pany--is too much to pay to the new republic fostered by this government.
 Why not save in a great measure all future dickering and purchase in bus mess manner outright a strip of land of the embryo republic, say two hundred miles wide on each side of the proposed canal, or four hundred miles in all. In other words sixteen thousand square miles of territory.
 Russia and the United States got to- gether in this way and Alaska, for a little over seven millions of dollars, be- came an integral part of this country.
 It is singular that an isthnus only tllirty-nine miles wide-the distance from New Haven to the Connecticut river-should So long remain a perlna- lnent barrier to the commerce of the world. -.s.s-. .
 Millions of human lives and billions of treasure have 1lleen spent i'll wars, while ship canal uniting the two oceans could have been built yesrs ago for a few hundred millions of dollars.
 Asia via Behring strait is less than forty miles to the possessions of the United States. --.- ', This in time-probably in fifty years Will be a hridged for q trans -continerB- tai railway.
 Competent and eminent civil engi- reers have already made soundings and claim that it is practical. The entire cost is estimated at five hundred mill lions of dollars.
 With a steam railway near the Arctic circle and ship canal in close promirn- ity to the equator, and a commander in chief of the army and navy--as pre- scribed by the Constitution-like our young and strenuous president, Theo- dore Roosevelt, the United States or North America, with Great Britain for an ally, will be able, if necessary, to dictate terms to every other nation on earth.
 What is of the most importance is the fact that short water route to the Pa- cific ocean, the Philippine islands, to Hawaii and Asia, will place this coun- try in the front rank of commercial su- premacy.

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.
Yields Go Lower Lsvel-DecIines From
 Ono to Tvyo Points.

Yields Go Lower Lcvel- Declines From Ono to Twa Points.
 New York, Dec. 10.-The stock mar
 ket made another struggle to-day
 against the tendency to reaction but
 ultimately suecumbed and yielded to a
 lower level. Net declines ran to be-
 tween l and 2 points for many promi- nent stocks. An important influence in
 discouraging the efforts to hold the
 market was the heavy and persistent liquidation in United States Steel pre- ferred. The fact that much of the sell ing was attributed to Pittsburg &C., count gave it a sinister import to the speculative mind, owing to the special facilities of information as to trade conditions at that iron and steel center. United States Steel preferred ran off 3 points in the final dealings, thus de- ciding the tone of the market, which
 had been wavering and uncertain up to
 that time. The furious speculation in Brooklyn Transit continued but served l rather to cause distrust than to foster
 an advance owing to lack of authori- tative information of any substantial grounds for the buying of this stock The stock opened at a decline of 3-4 and after numerous fluctuations up to 5 5-S fell back to the lowest and closed there.
 The danger of money flurries before ! the end of the year while preparations are making for the annual settlements also came up for consideration. The summary of returns made by national
 banks throughout the country on No- I vember r is not altogether reassuring. With an increase in individual deposits ] over last year of nearly $20000, ,000 the total cash held by the banks shows a shrinkage of over S14.00o,000 while the loan item has expanded nearly S122, ,000,- 1 900. Compared with the condition at the time of the previous call on Sep tember 9th of this year there is shown an increase in individual deposits of l nearly S2O,O00,000 and in United States deposits of over Sl2,000,000 notwith- standing a contraction in loans of up-
 wards of $56,o0o,000. The cash holdings Of the banks have declined for the same period $34.770,249. Tn the items due to other national and state banks 1 and trust companies there is. however. failing eff of upwards of $50, GOO, 900 since the September statement. It
 was not until near the close of the
 market that the summary was pub lished of the domestic exports for Mo-
 vember. These show an increase over November of last year of $34, 7s7, ,2ss ow-
 ing to the unprecedented value of the cotton exports which reached nearly | $6s, 100000, the largest figure for any
 month in the history of the country. lThe persistent inward movement of
 gold, which was supplemented again
 to-day, needs no other explanation. The
 stock market closed rather irregular
 but near the lowest of the day.
 The tone of the bond market was
 easy. Total sales par value were s2.-
 sos, ,00o.

H. W. Savage will present at the Hy- perion tonight and tomorrow night his new comic opera success, 'The Yan- kee Consul" with Raymond Hitchcock of King Dodo' fame in the leading role. The opera is clever bit of writ ing and composing cleverly acted and sung.
 MT. Savage has never made a failure and his notable successes, King Dodo," Prince of Pilsen," Peggy From Paris "Tfle County Chairman" and the English Grand Opera company will long be remembered. '"The Yankee Censul' is expected to eclipse all of the former productions that have been made by this successful manager. MT. Hitchcock is capable actor and has a part that is well suited to him. The locale of the piece is in tropical Santo Domingo, the tropical atmosphere giv- ing the scenic artist, costume designers and the composer opportunities rarely, if ever, offered in comic opera pro- duction. The book and lyrics are by Henry M. Blossom, Jr., who wrote ssCheckers," and the music is by Alfred c. Robyn, one of the foremost compos- CTS in America. MT. Robyn wrote the Manzanillo Dance and the songs Answer and "You.' He excels in eon- posing dainty airs of the Spanish style. Some of the best numbers in '"The Yan- kee Consul are 'The Mosquito and the Midge," "Yo-Ho," Tn the Days of Old," Tn New York; Cupid Has Found My Heart" "rd Like to be Soldier" and "Ifola.'
 There will be a popular matinee Sat- urday, at which prices will be sl, 75e. soc, 25c. Seat sale now open, and there is brisk demand for seats. Night prices s1.5o, s1, 75e.

It seems probable that the scheduled engagement of Checkers at the Fly perion theater on Christmas day and Saturday, December 26, will be quite as much of a success as the plays New York and Chicago engagements, which broke records for big business at their respective theaters. The probability is based on the large number of inquiries which have been received at the box of flee since the initial announcement that the play had been booked. There will be matinees Christmas day and Sat- urday.

HOW MAN HARNEssED NATURE.

It was by means of the steam en- zine that man first harnessed nature, and thus commanded a force immeas- urably greater than his own. When George LII visited the works of James Watts and Boulton to see their steam engines, Boulton said: 1T sell here what all the world desires7-po power. It was because the steam engine enabled man to lay hold of an exhaustless sup ply of power that 1t produced unequaled effects on civilization.
 It made possible the creation of boundless wealth. Until we had the steam engine, the muscles of man or beast afforded practically the only pow CT which man could control. In order to double the output he must double the power, and in order to double the power he must double the number of muscles, and he could not double the number of muscles without doubling the number of mouths, which woui double the demand on the output, leaving no more surplus than before. And, inasmuch as one set of muscles could do little more than provide for their owner and for those dependent on him, it was impossible for the world to become rich under such conditions. Josiah Strong in Success.

Jerome's continued and persistent efforts to purify the New York police department prompts one writer to say that it was the system" that really was responsible for most of the exist ing evil, and it was at the system that Jerome aimed and is still aiming his guns. There were many police men-there are many policemen-hon- est at heart who loathe the system" It worked this way: An applicant for the force, after passing the civil ser vice, was taxed, not openly, of course, from three hundred dollars to five hun dred dollars for appointment. Gen erally he had to borrow the money. There was always someone" to show him how to make it up after he had put on his uniform. The patrolman anxious to be roundsmdn paid from seven dollars to thousand dollars to "someones'' The roundsman, when he had satisfied the powers that he was O. K, got the tip that if he could pro- duce two thousand or three thousand dollars there was a sergeantcy waiting for him. Later, when he had worn the gold stripes long enough to con- vince ssomeone' that his discretion equaled his ambition, he was told that twelve or fifteen thousand dollars would make him captain with almost limitless power to provide for his fu- ture And so it went en through all the grades of the service. Devery paid nothing. He was a friend of those higher up. It was apparent that the legitimate returns of the office could not bear the additional expense, but vice was prosperous, and there is no record of any policeman having ''welshed'' on the money he borrowed to pay for his promotion. No man was allowed to keep. all he collected. He was entitled to his ''rake-otf," but the balance went higher up."
