On the dips. however. there was no noticeable aggressiveness either disposed to hold aloof for the time being. On the other hand. the speculative inter ests figured that there will be line Of good sealping operations. and naturally late in the day they were rather busy on both sides of the account. The receipts were rather larger than looked for. The Insight figures for the week were expected to be less bullfsh than generally looked for early in the week. The srot markets were dull and steady with small demand apparently, but Southern interests said that they were satisfied with the demand The ndvices from the various spinning districts were rather conflicting but Southern spinners seemed to be confident of active operations for some time to come. Reports from the crop sections were interesting. since they re- flected wide difference The early plant ed crop. however, was said to be getting on satisfactorily but there were reports of boil weevil from many sections of Texas. The talk of increased acreage continued in force however, and served to discourage holders in some instances Indications pointed to smaller receipts in the interior for to-mor- row. the Houston estimate being quite bullsh. The estimated port receipts for the day were 5000, against 10,012 for the same day last year.

Strike a Balance.

The difficulty with most Of US is to
learn to live sensibly and ganely. We
are in danger Of going to extremes.
We either take life too seriously, or we
dawdle about 1t like lazybones. The
thing Is to strike an effective middle
course. Most Of US nowadays seem
to regard 1t as a great mill In which
the earlier we go to work and the
later we stay, the better for ali con-
cerned We want to do great deeds;
to accumulate a lot Of moneys to re-
form somebody or something. Now, it
Is certainly wrong not to be awake to
our privileges and opportunities for
work, and not to get joy out Of doing
something that will make the world
happier But there Is a time to loaf
and be glad, also. There Is virtue in
being a happy citizen, as we'll as an
active one. Life is serious, but not
90 serious that we need go about with
sour countenance and O book of
rules. The wise man Is the one who
hits a nice balance in his affairs, who
Is neither wearisomely strenuous nor a

OUR AMERICAN HUSBAND.
Some Observations as to His A11ege
characteristics by Londoner.

Some Observations as to His Alleged
characteristics by Londoner.
An American young man does not,
nor prepare for it by saving any con-
siderable portion Of his ante-nuptial
income. When he marries it Is usu-
ally on short notice and because he
has fallen very desperately in love
with some one and cannot find 1t in
his heart to wait until cold caution de-
clares the venture advisable. Even
when an engagement is a long one
he usually squanders SO much on gifts
and entertainments for his fancee that
there Is only very moderate amount
to begin housekeeping on. Thus be-
fore his marriage the young American
OF the middle class begins to give evil
dence Of what Is to be his chief ma
tional characteristic as a husband
his unfailing, unsel1sh and almost I'M
provident generosity,
The middle class husband in Amer.
lea rarely interferes with the affairs
of the household. He hardly knows
the cost Of staple articles of food. As
a rule he does not make his wife a
regular allowance either for household
or personal expenses, but gives her
as much as he can spare freely, but
with a lack Of system that is not con.
ducive to the best outlay Of their in
come.
The young American husband is also
very indulgent to his wife's fondness
Of fine clothes. He Would far rather
have an extravagant wife than a dow
dy one, and although he grumbles oc-
casionally at millinery bill, in real.
ity he glories in the respondent ap-
pearance of his wife in her fine feath-
ers. The American husband Is rare
who does not concede his wife's right
to expend q much larger sum with
her dressmaker than he does with his
tailor. Indeed, he often leaves his tail
or altogether and cheerfully repairs to
the ready-made clothing house in order
that his wife may have more money
for extravagant fnery.-London Tele.

Ohoate's Joke Went Astray.

Judge Dickinson of Tennessee, chief
counsel for the United States before
the Alaskan boundary commission,
tells a story about Ambassador Choate
which he relates as part Of his recent
London experience. He says:
During the boundary proceedings l
was a guest at an English home one
evening when many distinguished dip
lomats were present. Among them
none received more attention than
Minister Choate. One English lady,
apparently wishing to be bitQuizzical,
said to the minister, Mr.. Choate, who
would you rather be If you were not
Ambassador ChoateT With the suave-
ness of manner for which he is noted
the minister replied: Madam, in such
a case l would rather be the second
husband of Mrs. Choate.'"
Needless to say, the retort and pref
ty compliment to the well-beloved wife
of the American ambassador was
greeted with laughing approval by the
little group that were parties to the
conversation. AS I was walking away
with an English statesman Of interna-
tional repute, I said: That was a
clever retort Of the ambassadors
Eyes replied the Britisher, but,
by the way, would you mind telling me
who was the second husband of Mrs.
ChoateT"

Justice for a. Usurer.

In all lands the usurer Is held in
contempt and people Of all classes In
wardly chuckle when one Of the class
gets the worst end Of a bargain. An
English paper records a peculiar de-
cision in the suit Of usurer against n
poor woman. The man had lent the
woman money in such way that it
was to be paid in installments and
with monthly usurious interest. The
woman was unable to pay the amount
due. -.
The Judge satisfied himself that the
woman was honest and honorable, and
that what she had already paid in in
stallmepts would cover the original
loan and a reasonable interest.
"Will you accept 96 In dischargeT"
asked the judge of the plaintiff; you
will then have had 10 per cent on the
loan"
The plaintiff would accept nothing
less than the full amount 10 which the
law entitled him.
''Then," said the judge, "although
cannot invalidate the agreement, can
make an order which, 1 think, will tit
the case. I give judgment for the full
amount, to be paid at the rate Of six
pence MONTH"
This was the 'installment system
with a vengeance, for at this rate of
payment the usurer would be seventy
five years in getting his money.

Cultivate Repose of Nerves.

Every effort should be made to calm
the nerves. 1rritabiliV Is one Of the
surest signs Of old age. When annoy
ances arise in household or social af-
fairs cultivate a spirit Of calm tolera-
ton. You will be surprised to find
how, after the first moment Of strug-
gle, the annoyances seem slight
This irritability affects the gait You
will always notice that an elderly per-
son walks with short, terky steps This
is due to the stiffening Of the muscles
natural to old age. The lubricat1ng oil
has become scarce.
Now, a youthful person whose mind
Is not at ease will walk In similar
manner. If you would retain the buoy
ant, elastic step Of youth think about
1t while you are yet young.
Do not bang the pavement with
your heels at each step. Let the step
be taken from the hips instead Of from
the knees. The shoulder should not
move, but the entire body must be
relaxed, and so will sway slightly with
each step.
Old age is not betrayed by the face
nearly so much as by the figure and
general compartment. These latter
are wholly within our own hands, and
even the appearance of the face can be
controlled to a great degree.-NeW

Don't stuff the baby until nature re-
bells by an emesis.
Don't forget that 1t wants cool wa
ter to drink occasionally.
Don't expect the baby to be perfect
~ we'll unless you feed it on natures
food-mother's milk.
Don't forget that regularity In meal
time is just as necessary for your lit
tie one as for yourself.
Don't keep~the baby in the house
one minute that 1t is possible to have
1t out Of doris. A baby kept out in
the air and sunshine will not be cross
and irritable.
If the little folks are troubled with
constipation, give them powdered licor-
ice. 1t can be obtained at any drug
store and children like 1t, 50 1t will be
no trouble to get them to take 1t.
Don't put too many clothes on the
baby, and, above all, don't infict 1t
with long clothes. Least Of all should
this be done during its first few
months Of life, when 1t Is weaker than
at any other time.
Never try to make baby walk II he
seems unwilling to learn. The sockets
Of the joints are very shallow In tiny
children, and the bones 80 feebly con-
nected that they are easily dislocated.
Besides which, bow legs are much cas-
Ter to avoid than to cure, and standing
before the legs are strong enough to
bear the weight Of the body may re-
suit in permanent deformity.
If the baby has the thrush mix a
level teaspoonful Of powdered borax
with eight teaspoonfuls Of clear honey,
and apply it to the sore places two or
three times day. The best plan, how
ever, is to prevent thrush or infants
sore mouth, and this Is easily done by
washing it every day with weak So
luton of borax and soft water. This
will do the baby no harm If he swal-
lows q little Of 1t, which cannot be
said Of many things that are used for
this trouble.
