After the first half hour New York
displayed weakness, and the local
market was quick to follow the de-
cline, which brought May down TO
1886 and July to 10. soc.
The ring was too busy to allow
much discussion of Sully's failure. The
belief grows. however that he will
meet his obliga tions dollar for dol
lar. There were no new developments
locally in this direction.
The short session of the market was
marked by nervous and wide fiuctua-

steadier and prices commenced to go
higher after every recession. Fluc-
tuations were sometimes for 20 points
at a time. The market closed steady.

Faets About Oranges.
[from the Philadelphi Inquirer.

The ripper an orange gets the more
yellow it becomes. A dealers test for
perfect orange is to press it as you
would hard rubber ball. If you can
make slight indentation by press
ing hard, but the pulp remains firm
enough to rebound, the orange is all
right.
Russet oranges are rich, liable to
spoil. When buying oranges by
the box (and this is the best plan
where you use a good many) get a
repacked box instead of an original
one. Thin-skinned, bright -colored
oranges are the best. While the Cal
ifornia, Florida and Arizona fruit
are altogether the best for eating out
of hand or on the table. the foreign
oranges, Messina or Sicily, are con.
sidered best for marmalade.

The Many-sided Wife.

Why should woman want to
hold more offices than she already
holds? Why should she desire to
engage in other business than that
of o woman?
The woman who is true wife
holds more offices and transacts
more business than any dozen men.
She is a financier. No statesmen
studies his buds closer than she.
She knows to cent the revenues
and the expend. ..res of her house
hold. When she brings in q bill for
an appropriation, it usually passes
the house. Herexpenditures require
no auditing.
She is a ruler and wise one.
She is q Judge who sits impartial
ly and whose findings are seldom re-
versed. She is sometimes Judge and
jury, and is Judge Of both the law
and the facts. And she is her own
officer of court to carry out her de-
crees.
She is capable designer. Given
fashion plate and few sugges-
tions from neighbor woman, she
designs if indeed she does not build
her own clothes and those of her
children, keeping an eye betime to
the architecture of the husbands
garments
Viewed commercially, the average
wife is credit woman, correspondent
buyer, bookkeeper and clerk. In
some instances she occasionally does
the work of porter or roustabout.
In parliamentary sense, she is
chairman of the ways and means
committee. Her committee sits con.
stant)y, and frequently constitutes
itself committee of the whole tc
carry out its own report.
She is doctor; lawyer, preacher
and-what is more important-teache,
of her brood. Her course of instruc
ton comprises both morals and man
ners. Her curriculum is practical
one, adapted to the needs of the oc
casion.

is that of queen, or helpmeet. Sh,

Some men feel that they and their

Senator Fairbanks paper, the

exuberant confidence over the situa-
ton in Indiana. 1t says that while
the nomination of Mr.. Fairbanks
will undoubtedly strengthen the tic
ket, at the same time the state may
be uncomfortably close for the re-
publicans. The News finds that in
all probability the republicans will
be confronted by a united opposition
in that state. But that condition is
not confined to Indiana. Through
out the country the democrats are
getting into line with their old ardor
and a renewed and reasonable hope
of success. -Waverly Democrat

Fish Diet.

Fish is on excellent food either in
summer or winter. But the notion
that it specially "makes brain" or is
particularly nerve food" is er-
roneous.
1t is true that it contains phos-
phorus. But it does not contain it
in a free state. The notion that fish
contains excessive phosphorus had
no doubt it's origin in the glowing
phosphorecence of fish in the dark.
This phosphorescence is due not tc
phosphorus at oil, but micro-organ-
isms.
But fish offers the best of diet and
cannot be too highly recommended
both on account Of its constituents
and its digestibility.-Boston Globe
