The underlying force making for
higher prices in the stock market con-
tinues TO be the conviction on the part
of banking interests and far-seeing
spectators that rates for the use of
money in this country for a long time
after January l are to rule on such a
low level that investment in the stan
dard railroad and industrial shares will
yield a greater pecuniary return than
loans of money made on call or for
longer and definite period. 1t was the
operation of this great principle. al
though in a contrary direction. which
caused the great decline in stock mar
ket prices which eliminated nearly
three months ago. and, until the funda-
mental facts upon which 1t is now work

i'm the new year the receipts of currency
from the interior will doubtless be
heavy, and it is therefore likely that
bank reserves will show a large expan-

An increase in imports of manufac-
turers materials for eleven months of
about million monthly. and a decrease
of $3.50 73S for the last month reported
is a contrast which speaks for itself. 1t
is satisfactory to find imports of luxu-
ries falling off as well. but it does not
indicate continuance Of that lavish ex-
penditure which characterized the ear
lier months. Even now luzuries de-
crease by only one-third as much as
manufacturers materials. 1t would be
a better sign IL the proportions were
reversed
1t would be very surprising indeed If.

and one lemon; let it reach boiling
point, and then simmer for ten min

lemons and half gill of Tangerine

half an ounce of French sheet gela-

little warm water), and sweeten to
taste with castor sugar.
Stir gently until the gelatine has
melted, and strain the liquid through
muslin into another basin. When the
jelly is cold and just set whisk it for
a few moments, then add a pint of
stifly whipped cream, sweetened, and
colored with yellow coloring, and, as
soon as the jelly and cream are thor

Fart Nouveau.

In our houses, in our clothes, in our
furniture, and even in the jewelry that
we wear, there has arisen a new era,
and it is designated as the L'Art Nou-
veau. While this may seem a very
formidable term, it is really quite the
reverse. Simplicity has a great deal
to do with all that comes under this
title. 1t is really merely a catch word
for the emancipation of all that is
worn out in artistic or mechanical
ideas. 1t is nothing more than the
renaissance of the present time, in
personal and household adornment,
from the ugliness of the half century
ago period. AS applied to the jewels
that adorn fair women, and it is to
this ornamentation that the term is
most frequently applied, it simply ex-
presses, under one general title, a
dozen or more artistic departures in
the jeweled decorations of the gentler
sex.

Cheese may be made into soufies,
ramekins, omelets, ETC., and served be
fore the dessert, or with crackers, wa
fer biscuits or celery with a salad be-
fore a hot dessert, or after the dessert
Cheese fingers and chees straws are
served with the salad. A Stilton or
Chester cheese is cut in half and one
part wrapped in a napkin and served,
says the Pittsburg Press. Roquefort
and Gorgonzola are cut in large slices
from the cheese and served in folded
napkin. The American dairy cheese
is cut in small cubes of equal size,
while the soft cheeses, Brie, Neuf-
chatel, ETC., are unwrapped from the
tinfoil and scraped before serving.

Linen sunshades.

Dark blue and dark red linen sun
shades are among the seasons novel
ties. They are usually adorned with
a pattern in white, and some of them
have a deep ruffie as an edge and are
unlined.
The odd effect of these novel sun
shades is heightened by the handle
and stick, which are blue or red, to
match the cover. Quite a prolonged
vogue is predicted for these decided
ly novel little affairs, as they are both
effective and useful.

To Dry Shoes.

The usual-and the wrong way-of
treating wet shoes is to take them
off and put them on the fender or the
radiator to dry. This method spoils
the shoes. Too much heat cracks and
hardens leather.
Another wrong way is to stand them
on their soles, any where, to dry.
The proper way is to place the
shoes, soles upward, near enough to
the fire to dry slowly and properly,
but not to steam during the drying.
The soles should always be turned
upward, even when the shoes are only
a little wet, for this way enables the
