\fbv Nations Wear Colors.

Did il ever occur to you that the
bunch Of colored ribbons you wear in
your buttonhole-or pinned on your
dress il you are a girl-at commence
ment, or at a baseball or football
game, is really flag! 1t tells to what
class or school or college you belong,

somewhat similar reasons do nations
wear their colors. At first maybe 1t
was to tell one another apart, but after
a while the colors-thc fag-came 10

JOY from the surprises of life, which unex-

makes it to run over. The success we

Tortillas.

IN conjunction with the systematic
effort made in recent years by the
United States to make known in Eu-
rope the food value, or, rather. table
value, of Indian corn, it may interest
many housekeepers to know how tor
tillas are made. These tertillas are,
as many know. thin cakes OF corn,
and are used in Mexico and other.
Spanish.American countries almost
universally in lieu Of wheat bread.
The corn, selected clean kernels for
best results, is boiled in lime water
until soft. 1t Is then washed thor.
ouehly in water to remove all traces
o. lime, and rubbed between the hands
to remove the outer husk Of the corn.
The clean corn is then ground, while
wet, to a soft mass, which is easiest
accomplished with peanut butter
mill. The wet dough resulting from
grinding is patted into thin cakes OF
convenient size and baked on a dry
griddle (that Is. without fat) and
served hot. In the better class fami.
lies it Is usual to have one servant
bake these tortillas continually dur
ing the course OF a meal, so that the
table may be supplied fresh from the
gr;ddle all the time. While these
cakes are a radical departure to all
English speaking people, many soon
develop a great liking for them. They
are especially palatable when eaten
with highly favored meat dishes. such
as the Mexican Chile con carne." and
also when spread with butter. 1t may
be we'll to add that no salt Is used In
the preparation Of these cakes.-sct

RAILROAD EARNINGS LARGE

New York July 10.-Bradstreets tomor-
row will say;
Weather conditions continue almost per-
feet, the winter wheat crop harvest has
about been completed with considerably
larger yield than last year. Retail trade
in summer goods has improved and re-
orders from jobbers are large in volume.
Confidence in large fall trade grows as
corn and cotton make up for their early
backward start: clearlngs are in excess of
a year ago at most centers; railroad earn
ings continue to show gains over all pre-
eeding years--the increase for June is
fully u per cent-and prices display ex-
ceptional steadiness for a midsummer pc
Rod.
The prospect grows that whatever def
ciencies from last year occur in crop
Yields will be made up for by increased
quotations or better quality of products.
Wool has been again advanced and while
manufacturers not inclined to stock up
the higher price for the raw material prac-
tically insures higher prices for spring
woolens.
Retail trade has been stimulated by real
summer weather and jobbers east and
west note a much improved recorder bus
mess in seasonable goods Eastern shoe
shipments are IA per cent lower than last
week, but Is per cent larger than last
year.
Iron and Steel Dull
The iron and steel market is dull and
unsettled as to prices. Rumors of cuts in
prices Of pig iron are not numerous. Bes-
semer pig is nominally easier at Pitts
burg and steel billets are depressed and
easier. Inquiries are numerous but new
business In iron is seant. A good volume
of orders for rails has been booked. Many
mills will shut down for repairs or be-
cause of hot weather Pig iron production
is large and southern producers are ex-
pected to cut prices. Tin and copper are
rather weak.
Wheat, including flour exports for the
week ending July Q, aggregate 2,3s00Ol
bushels against 2,966,6S2 last week Corn
exports for the week aggregate 1,525OS4
against 1,420,172 last week.

sizes, while wholesale and iobbing trade,
especially at the interior shows the en-
couraging effect of brighter agricultural

"a per cent is recorded in comparison
with July, 1902. chiefly in articles of food.
Railway earnings for June are 1871 per
cent larger than last year.
Installation of new converters and 9TH
er repairs interfere with work at some
prominent steel mills. which explain In
part the quiet condition of the market.
Bessemer pig. delivered at Pittsburg, can
point thus far for the recent decline.
Structural material is again an active
feature, especially for large building and
railway bridges at the west. Makers of
agricultural implements and vehicles are
