pose of discussing number of things

as A definite reply is received another
meeting Will be called. Another mat

membership other than practitioners
who applied under a state certificate

from obtaining membership. An
other movement to be conlbatted is
that of the osteopaths who have pre-
senied petition to the governor,
signed by $4,000 names. that a member
OF that school be made member of the
state board of health. This is in OPP

WAS taken. the discussion being of an

GAS FOR BOSTON.
Further Hearing on Petition for Flat
Price Of Eighty Cents.

Boston, Nov. 30.-The petitioner Of
Mayor Patrick A. Collins of this city
for a reduction in the price of gas
from one dollar to 50 cents per 1000
subic feet was before the state gas
commissioners, today The commission
ers opened the hearing in the presence
IF a large number of interested citi-
zens. During the past fortnight the
board has been concerned with the
question of a capitalization which is
to be assigned to the recently organic
ed Boston Consolidated Gas Companies.
Relieving the movement for lower gas
and the question of capitalization would
undoubtedly be influential one on the
other, the city of Boston has taken an
active part in the capitalization hear
ing. favOring through its counsel a
comparatively low figure for capital.
There are several petitions before the
board asking for 4 reduced gas rate
but the commissioners announced that
first they would hear all evidence and
arguments in the petition of Mayor
Collins.
Incidental to the general question of
the price of gas it was announced at
the commissioners office, today, that a
reduction had been ordered in the price
of gas furnished by the NewburypOrt
Gas & Electric CO., fIom $3.50 to $1.40
per 1000 feet.

THE CARS EYES
Are Quietly But Constantly Watching
British in Thibet.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 3O.-The state
ment that Russia is concentrating
troOps on the Afghan frontier. is de-
MED. Nevertheless it is undoubtedly
tr,,e that Russia is watching with some
miseivings the British plans for the re-
organization and increase of the Indian
army as well as the dispatch of a de-
mutation to Persia.
Coming on the heels of the Thibetan
expedition these moves naturally create
the SUSPICION that Great Britain is TAX
ing advantage of Russia's pre-occupa-
ton in the Far East to strengthen her
nositiop on the frontier of Persia. Rus
sia seems keenly alive to the situation,
hut no open move has yet been made
and the authorities are not disposed
TO admit that any is in contemplation
ae a counter move IN Persia.
The deputation from the Shah Of Per-
STA. headed by Ria Khan, former min
ister to Russia, goes to Constantinople,
in a similar capacity. is receiving con-
siderable attention. The deputation is
now on its way to St. Petersburg and
its ostensible purpose is to visit and
congratulate Emperor Nicholas as on
the birth of an heir to the throne.
While it is not admitted here the idea
prevails generally that the mission is
not devoid of political significance
RIA Khan will be received with be-
fitting honors. The Emperor will give
a state dinner to celebrate the visit.

FUN CITY FOLK MISS.
The Buggy Riding Of the Country
Youths and Maids.

"There!" said the adopted New
Yorker, as a buggy passed up Fifth
avenue with young man and a young
woman within, there is sight you
don't often see in town. I suppose
buggy riding is not a popular form Of
amusement in New York. 1t must be
too expensive for most Of us.
"When I was down in the country
this summer 1 found that buggy rid
ing was still much what it used to be.
The girls came out on the front porch
es between and 5 o'clock in the after
noon. clad in gay light gowns that
fluttered with ribbons. They all sat in
rocking chairs, and as they rocked
their ribbons flew about so that could
not help feeling that they acted almost
as signals.
after the girls had got we'll started
to rocking the young fellows began
driving UP and down the village street
in shiny new buggies with sleek horses
and whips adorned with ribbons. The
ribbons, learned, were the gifts of the
girls. Every now and then a shiny
new buggy would stop in front of one
OF the porches. and before you could
think what was happening one Of the
girls would be whisked off for a drive.
"Some of the young men wore dust
ers.' an ugly garment that had hard
ly seen in twenty years. Mostly the
girls came back to the porches in time
for the O'Clock supper. I suppose If
there had been moon a great deal of

Men and Manners.

Manners in parliament do not ap-
pear to take a more mellow tone as
this young century advances. The
exchanges between the ministerial and
opposition benches this week have not
been at all complimentary, and Amerl-
cans suggest that we are losing our
old courtliness. But we need not De
discounted by criticism from that
quarter. There are some things IN
this old island which our hustllng
cousins cannot better. Parliamentary
procedure is one. One does not In
clude for comparison the little scenes
in which members throw themselves
on the floor and invite the aid of the
policeman. But taking a normal day
in the house, the old folks at home in
their Witenagemot compare more than
favorably with the lords at Washing
ton, when the latter are quite at their
best. Sir Carne Rasch would have
an agonizing time of it there listening
to speeches columns in length, all
printed beforehand, ready for circula-
ton among members constituencies.
What would happen If. during de-
bate at Westminster, Lord Spencer,
say, came into the house of commons,
espied Mr.. Balfour upon his feet,
popped into the premier's seat and be-
gan to blackguard him? Well. that
would only accord with the traditions
of Washington. Members of the two
chambers may go into either house,
and. if a seat be vacant, take it. Sir
Stafford Northcote, taken in to see the
glory of the American legislative ma
chine in full operation, was staggered
to see a member of one house come in
and slip into the seat of member
who was speaking. Peering up into
the face of the orator. who happened
to be making rousing attack on the
North. the newcomer exclaimed: "How
dare you try to browbeat me?"
regular verbal set-to ensued, and
physical violence would have followed
had not pacific senators interposed. AS
it was. nothing worse than the declara-
ton Of each combatant that the other
was "a id scoundrel" resulted. But
that little scene with st. Stephens for
background would be rather weird,
let the Americans say what they may
as to the decadence Of our parlia-
mentary manners.-St. James Gazette.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All

New York, Nov 30.-Thc stock market
continued irrcgularly strong. today. on a
somewhat diminished volume of business.
The tendency toward reaction was great
est during the morning when the pres
sure to take profits was counterbalanced
by only a few strong points in the mar
ket But late in the day the nroads made
on the price level We're largely repaired
and new high points in the list were made
During the early operations Reading was
about the only effective sustaining point
and its sympathetic effect was narrow
even in the group of cOalers. Erie was "a
CONSPICUOUS laggard in the group and It's
increase in net earnings for october was
supposed not to come up to eXpet tatlonS
of speculators. With the shift in the spec
ulation to the Western and Pacific stocks
the market hroadencd and the strength
became more general. The steel stocks
rallied strongly, however, and the COM

movement. In view of the requirements

the buggy riding would have been done

the buggy riding would have been done
after nightfall.
lone thing has changed, though, in
the matter Of the country buggy; the
young fellows buy it a good deal
cheaper than their fathers bought
theirs. A good buggy used to cost
from SITS to $3.50. 1t was often made
by the local wheelwright or by a car
rage manufacturer in the nearest
town. When it got out of order 1t was
repaired, and when its paint began to
look ill it was repainted. Buggy own
ers used to pay $50 or $6o TO nave thelr
buggies put in perfect order, and it
used to be said that such a pussv'
fresh from the repair shop, was as
good as new. A buggy would last ten
years or more.
II asked one of the young men down
in the village what GOOD buggy cost,
and he said he never paid more than
$50 for his. He bought new one
every two years, and rarely put dol
lars worth of repairs on his buggy.
When he was ready for new one he
took the old one, which was really
new according to earlier standards, to
the local agent of a Western manu-
facturer, and the agent would allow
him $40 or SIS for the vehicle. Thus
he always had buggy in perfect con-
dition, one that never ratified and was
in no danger of breaking down.
'1n ten years he spent on vehicles
about two-thirds as much as his faith
er used to spend, and the old man al
ways had something the matter with
his buggy.
What became of the old buggies?
Well, down there they were sold to the
colored people. Thrifty colored men
were able to buy a buggy every five or
six years. The price was not above
500 and it might be less. The con-
struction must be pretty good, for a
whole family would ride to church in
one Of those buggies. New York

ed as though the eve gave as much
milk as some cows, and he never once
heard the lambs bleat as though they
were hungry.
Another man living in the same
township bought fourteen old ewes at
$3.50 each. From them he raised
twenty-three lambs, which he sold at
less than year old at $5.35 per hum
dredweight. They averaged 104
pounds each, bringing him $127.SS.
l met a man in Ross County, o., who
told me he bought. a little over q year
ago, sixteen ewes at SO each. They
raised him twenty-eight lambs that he
sold as soon as they were old enough
to wean for $SS. The sheep SHARED
him $40 worth Of wool, making sos re-
ceived from the sheep within less than
one year from the time he had bought
them. AS the sheep cost him $4S, he
had left $50 and the ewes to pay Tor
the labor and expense of keeping the
flock less than year. While L am
willing to admit that these are I'M
usual-even phenomenal-profits, 90
contend that no such margins OF pront
are ever realized from any other STOCK
sold on the market.
1t is remarkable how much Detter
sheep will do when kept in small
f1ocks. Notice both of the above de-
scribeG fOcks were small in NUMBERS,
and the man who raised the triplets
had no other lambs, and he is ac-
knowledged to be one OF the most
skillful and successful feeders of all
kinds of stock in the country.
Many farms are entirely without
sheep. A small flock could be kept
cheaply. The expense during the grow
ing season would be the better for a
flock of sheep to clean up the waste
places, and no stock will make better
use of the "roughness" during the WIN
ten nor is as easily handled.-Ohio
