YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKE1
Decline in Activity but Prices Are we'll
 Maintained.

Maintained.
 New York, Nov. 21.-Aggregate sales of stocks at the stock exchange fell off to-day, but notwithstanding this de- cline in activity prices were we'll main tained. The market is best defined as quiet and strong. The causes of the falling off in business were not very clear. There were some .intimations that the expectation of an immediate decision of the Northern Securities suit might be disappointed. Wall street clings to a conviction that the deci- sion of that suit is toi be- the signal for some important announcement af- fecting the transcontinental railroad ' situation, and the prospect of it's de- 1 lay discouraged some operations. Union Pacific was noticeably strong, however, as were St. Paul and the bonds in any way related to the Northern Securities adjustment. >s:
 The engagement of gold bars for ex- port to Paris this week was added to by. an amount of several hundred thou sand dollars and inquiry for all availa- ble gold bars was urgent at the assay office. Foreign exchange made a fur ther advance thus bridging the interval which permits the shipment of coin, and $500,000 in coin was engaged. Call money loaned at three per cent, but did not hold at that until the closing. Chicago exchange rose to twenty cents I premium against ten cents last week, i marking the continuance of the flow of ' interior money towards New York, 1 while the movement of the new corn crop was scarcely commenced, explain ing the light interior needs for currency. The industrial department continued relatively conspicuous, and there was an occasional movement in that de- partment on the part Of stocks long time dormant. The more active in- dustrials were strong. The United States Steel stocks and the railroad equipment stocks reflected the good re- ports from trade circles. Amalgamated Copper was strong in common with all copper stocks, and metal stocks gener- ally were benefited in sympathy. The large demand for copper Is assumed to go largely into electrical Improvements and the electrical stocks made notable gains. A sale of $15,OOO,OOO of Penn sylvania company certificates and oi S5,0O0,0OO of Pere Marquette bonds H. lustrated the attraction of thesimprov. ed market for securities to float new issues. The days small changes ir leading stocks comports with the mar. rowing of dimensions of the market and the closing was irregular and be- low the best. -.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales, pal value, $10,SS0,OO0. ''."" United States bonds were unchanged on call.

THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG.
In Whatever We DO There Is a Way
Which Affords Us the Better
Results

1t Is right to work for our daily bread.
and for use to others in whatever form
may present itself. The wrong way Of
doing it makes Unnecessary strain, over
fatigue and idleness. The right way of
working gives. as we have said before,
new power and joy in the world, writes
Annie Payson Call, in Leslie's Monthly.
1t is right for most people to sleep
eight hours every night. The wrong way
Of doing it is to go to sleep all doubled
up, and to continue to work all night in
our sleep, instead Of giving up and rest
ing entirely. The right way gives us the
fullest possible amount of rest and re-
freshment
1t is right to take our three meals a
day, and all the nourishing food we need.
The wrong way of doing it is to eat
very fast, without chewing our food
carefully, and to give Our stomachs no
restful opportunity of preparation to re-
ceive its food or to take good care of
it after it is received The right way
gives us the opportunity to assimilate
the food entirely, SO that every bit of
fuel we put into our bodies is burnt to
some good purpose. and makes US more
truly ready to receive more
1t is right to play and amuse ourselves
for rest and recreation. We play in the
wrong way when we use ourselves up
in the strain of playing, in the anxiety
lest we should not win in a game, or,
when we play in bad air.

TALK ABOUT HOTB1DS.
They Enable Gardeners to Raise
Earlier Vegetables at But
Slightly Higher Cost

Hotbeds are frames covered with glass
and heated by some artificial means, usu-
ally by fermenting manure placed un-
der the whole structure. They are used
for several purposes, but mainly for the
purpose of starting plants for trans
planting earlier than they could be
started out of doors, and for the fore
ing, on small scale, of some of the
more common and hardy vegetables,
such as radishes. AS a result, it is but
natural that they should be made and
used largely in the late winter and early
spring months.
The frames may be made of various
materials, but when they are to be used
tor several years, they should be made
of two-inch stuff so fitted together as to
be easily taken apart for convenient
storage. These frames are commonly
made by II feet, so as to give room fo1
four sash, each of which is by 6feet The
south side of the frame is usually made
to six inches lower than the north
thus giving drainage from rain water as
well as better exposure to the sun

FRAGMENTS OF FASHION.

Plain net or other transparent mate
rails are made up over lowered silks.
A knot of colored ribbon without any
ends at all is among the new crava1s.
Spider figures are roticeably frequent
IN the modish laces and embroideries.
On the fiounced skirts the fiounces
slope up toward the waist line in the
back.
Old Chinese embroideries are a good
deal used for blouse trimmings. En-
broiGery in chenille is another fashion,

A few well-gowned women are wear
ing short, loose-wristed gloves without
any buttons.
Wedding wells must be put on now
so that nearly all of the hair shows and
give a long, narrow look instead Of
spreading at the sides.
More sleeves Of evening coats are
made with the deep cuff and full Groop-
ing puff above than in any other way
The new shirt waist blouses are al
ways cut with a French back and in
front few tucks from the shoulders to
the bust line. The fronts Go not pouch
at all, but are large enough to be easy.
The sleeves must not have the long drop,
either, but just an easy sort of bishop
sleeve going into narrow band at the
cuff.

Frames should be planned SO that the
glass is as close as possible to the plants.
without crowding them-about foot or
foot and half above the soil on the
average. The sash is so placed upon
these frames that the lower end may be
raised fer ventilation and for whatever
work and care may be necessary They
should also be so arranged that they
can be completely removed in hot
weather.
Having prepared the frames and the
sash, the next thing is to find location
and to furnish the heat. Preferably
hotbeds should be located in some place
sheltered from winds and slightly slop-
ing to the south where they will receive
the full benefit of the suns rays. Con-
venience is another thing which should
not be overlooked, for the beds require
considerable care and so should be
handy to the house and to the water
supply. Having chosen our location we
should dig the pit which is to contain the
manure for heating. This should be done
in the fall before freezing weather. By
bish the ground may be kept from freeH-
ing, so that it is warmer and more cas-
lily worked when ready for use in the
spring.
The best manure for heating is fresh
horse manure containing about half
straw or litter This should be piled so
as to allow heating for about two or
Z :
first the manure ferments unevenly, and
SO it must be piled several times, TAX
ing care to distribute the heating ma
nure evenly throughout the pile. When
it has heated evenly throughout it is
ready for the hotbed Care should be
evenly packed in the pit, and to get 1t in
this condition it is best to put it in in lay
ers and allow each to settle somewhat be-
fore the next is put in. When the ma
nure is all in, level off the top and place
about six inches of rich. light loamy soil,
preferably with considerable humus.
upon it.
After the manure has been placed in
the bed the temperature will rise very
rapidly for several days until 1t reaches
amaximum temperature, after which the
temperature gradually recedes. When
it has fallen to about 80 or 80 degrees it
is ready for the seed. The depth of ma
nure depends upon the climate, purpose
for which it is to be used, and the length
of time heat is required. L. H. Bailey
says: Hot beds which are supposed
to hold two months should have about
21a feet of manure For light hot bed,
to be used late in the season, 6 or s inch
es may be sufficient
BY bearing in mind these general di-
rections and the cross-section shown
here, one may easily construct hotbed
that will make possible earlier and bet
ter vegetables at but very slightly in
creased cost and trouble.--M. l.. Merritt,

ABLAZE WITH DIAMONDS.
Son OF a Poor CharwOman i'm Vienna
Found Precious Stones Worth
a Fortune.

How poor charWoman, - Frau
Blaschek, came into possession of a
large number of valuable diamonds,
which she had had for the most part
set, pawned or given away, came out
when the woman and her son were ar
rested by the police.
Last August Herr Lachmann, a court
jeweler, sent away by parcel post
packet containing 308 diamonds, worth
100000. These never reached their
destination and the n nystery of their dis
appearance was only lately cleared up.
Frau Blaschek's son confessed that he
found the precious packet in a rail-
way van and gave it to his mother.
The charwoman was remarkably lib
eral with the jewelry. To the godmoth-
er Of one of her children she gave three
stones, and on her sister (also a char
woman) and her niece she bestowed 16
diamonds each, after having had them
set in gold. 1t was this display of jew
elry which led to the suspicious of the
police and the woman's arrest.
She herself possessed five rings. three
pairs of earrings, necklace and a
pendant cross, all richly set with dia-
monds, and these she usually hid in
her bed. She sold 81 stones to a jew
eler. giving another dozen as presents
TO his children. She explained that
they were gifts from relative in Chi
cago.
When Frau Blaschek was taken into
custody there were still in her pos-
session SO large and 81 small unset
Drilliants.

DR.. Matiegka of Prague, in memoir
on the brain, states that the heaviest
brain he has found is that of a young
man of % years, and 1.80 meters in
height, which weighed 1920 grammes.
The female brain does not seem to rise
ever 800 grammes, and the lightest he
knows about Excluding the very aged)
was 1920 grammes, that of a woman Of
q years, $50 meters in height. There
is one of 1000 grammes belonging to
a woman Of SO years. The average
male brain weighs 1,400 grammes, and
the female 1900 grammes, between 20
and SO years. OF remarkable brains,
that of Konstantinoff, Bulgarian
novelist, weighed 1856 grammes, and
that of Smetana, composer, only 1850
grammes. The average weight Of the
brain for different occupations he gives

says "Our National Survey: the Ro-
nance of Scientific Pioneering" by H.
F. Balm, in Booklovers Magazine, the
officers of the service will have unex-
ampled professional opportunities, not
only because of the size of the works
themselves, but on account of the free
dom given the engineers in planning
and building them. The supervising
engineer will report to board Of con-
sulting engineers, each of whom is thor
oughly familiar with the difficulties of
such work, instead of having to win, as
in private work, the approval of board
of directors largely unfamiliar with his
difficulties, and concerned mainly with
completing the work at the lowest possi-

When Di:esffon n Perfec<

We have arrived at the conclusion that
moderation in diet has more to Go with

one thing, And We have endeavored to
enforce this teaching by showing in the
clearest manner of which we are capable
the reasons for it. A proper dietetic
regimen, once attained, brings all the
rest in it's train. Sleep, exercise, clear)i-

it. Life is not only prolonged. brit is
