six years.
The West is more largely interested
in the Plymouth Rock and Wyandotte
breeds than i'm any other. The East
ern States seem to be more given to
the cultivation of LeghOrns than are
any of the Western localities. The
eggs having the brown shells seem
best suited to the West. The brown
shelled eggs stand shipment better,
from the fact that the shells are heav-
Ter and stronger than those laid by
the Mediterranean breeds.

vegetable I am not prepared to say
pruning and cultivating that q of an
acre in Florida kept me hustling as
had never hustled before-but as a
garden proposition where you are rails
ing from fifty to one hundred plants it
has proven itself an ideal method of
culture. The directions are these
simple in the extreme, but requiring
rather close attention. as once well
started the tomato is a rapid grower
BY the time the plant forms its first
blossoms, have slim stake six feet in
length-in Florida we used pine sticks
about one inch square-with a crow
bar, or n heavy mallet stake your to-
matO firmly. Take an ordinary piece
of grOcerS' soft cotton twine and tie
the stem close to the stake. We eX-
perimented with tape and heavy cord
but found that the ordinary, five-cent
a ball, white twine Sufiiced, and that
there was no danger of iniuring the
stem of the plant. Then go through
the rows and pull off every sucker
leaving of course the blossom stems.
In other words simply train the tomato
vine to a single stem. and as need be
tie it up close to the stake. During the
season of growth three or four ties will
suffice. We tried using a sharp knife
to cut off the suckers in the belief that
yanking them off by the fingers would
iniure the main stem, but event
ually came back to the Crystal Springs
method, where everything is done by
the fingers.

five days start, and one of the suckers

belief that it will injure the vine to

WAR HoNoRs IN IAPAN.

We are contionually being reminded how short time it is since Japan adopted the broad lines of Western organization. A native Japanese news paper has just foreshadowed an im- posing list of war honors. Marquises Ito, Yamagata and Oyama become princes. Counts Inouye and Katsura became marquises, and Admiral Togo becomes a count, The official institu- tion of these degrees of nobility is only tWenty-tWo years old. The had long existed in Japan princes, Court nobles the present premier is the descendant of a long line of court nobles-and hereditary aristocracy, but in 1884 lit was decided to regulate the system on the lines of a Western aristocracy. Titles were ready to hand. They were the equivalent of the degrees of mo- bility which has existed from ancient times in China. Thus the title Ko is equavalent to prince, or, with diff ferent symbol, marquis, Haiku is count; Shi. viscount and Dan baron. The advantage of the new system was great. The power of the Diamios, or feudal lords, had largely vanished. By the new titles the Emperor could give to each the degree of nobility which corresponded to his former power,
 There was another and even greater advantage attached to the new system
 The Emperor could grant titles of mo- bility as a reward for any services rendered to him, and so raise men who were not of noble birth to the level of the feudal aristocracy. As soon as the new system came Into being Ito was made a count, and the shipbuilder Iw- asaki, a baron. The old distinction 1 among the Samural--the military caste disappeared. Hitherta the mounted 1 men had ranked above the footmen, and the swordsmen above the soldiers

TEs1 ERDAT,S STOCK MARKET
Better Resistance to Depression.

Better Resistance to DepressIOn'
 New York, Nov. 9.-To-days stock market was of much the same charac- ter as that of yesterday. Better resist ance was shown, however, to depres- sion, in spite of the aggravation of the money stringency. Money on call went to F per cent. quite early in the day and to 15 per cent. before the close. The time loan market also was strong CT and the payment of premiums over the local interest rate extended in some eases to loans for the six months peri cd. Loans for sixty and ninety days were on a ' per cent. basis. The ex- pectation became general that weak showing would be made by the banks in the weekly statement tomorrow. The outgo to the interior has gone on this week, and, with the absorption by the sub-treasury, promises to diminish the cash reserves of the banks by be- tween $2,0OO,O0O and $3,O0O, 900. It is to the change in the loan item, however, that most importance attaches. The action of the money market for the last day or two has suggested that the banks are beginnoing to feel at last the pressure upon their resources due to the transfer of loans from London to this market in connection with the large reduction in the account in Amer ican securities supposed to have taken place in London at the last stock mar ket settlement.
 l Northern Pacific was a point of re- sistance to depression in the market, with no news beyond the reiteration of 1 the rumor of coming ''melon-cutting. " 1 The report of the determination to cap- itaIize the Pullman surplus and dis ] tribute it to stockholders gave some sympathetic credence to the Northern Pacific report Pullman rose sharply at the opening, but fell violently after 1 wards. Reports were circulated of in- tended resistance to the form of the proposed bonus to stockholders on the part of an organized minority.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES UNCERTAIN MONEY CONDITIONS
 HERE TVATCHLD.

Another Dull Day-Prices Held Toler- ably Firm--Can Money Was Up to 16 Per Cent, and Time Loans to :.
 Yesterdays stock market was a dull one and governed by the uncertain money situation,
 The dealers were on the qui vive and prices fuctuated between the actual fact of high call rate (15 per cent) and the rumors about what Secretary Shaw would do in giving relief. It was also trying to respond to the sInall cash loss of the banks this week, as well as to the prospect of a considerable expan- sion in loans.
 Amalgamated Copper was one of the tirmest of the active issues throughout the day. In the early setback it react ed only IA point, and it was among the first to rally. To some this looked like absorption going on.
 With time money practically on a per cent. basis there is some justifica- tion for additional treasury relief This will take the form of purchase of 4 per cent. bonds.
 Some traders sold out, following statement by Assistant Secretary Ed wards, of the treasury department, as- serting that his visit to New York was in connection with the new custom house, and that it had nothing to do with suggested relief measures.
 With regard to money conditions abroad, the day produced further evil dence of improvement.
 The market exhibited firnaness during most of the last hour, but the move ment was without special feature.
 Money fuctuated as follows: High 15, low 7 1-2, closing 8, mostly all at per cent.
 Pullman reacted little, following the news that a large stock dividend was contemplated, representing a distribu- tion of the surplus. This was due to profit taking
 A feature of the day was the small ness of the liquidation, in spite of the stringency of the call money market.
 Sentiment throughout the street was distinctly bearsh. Brokers who have opposed the general tide even went so far as to suggest lighter speculative loads.
 The bear argument on Pennsylvania is the large increase in operating ex- penses involved in the 10 per cent. ad- vance in wages. The stock sold down to 139.
 Woolen Goods dropped under 30 to a net loss of nearly S points since the pre- ferred stock increase was announced The common was once a good specula- tive issue in the 40s.
 The domestic exchange rates indicate that the west has taken all of the mon ey it intends to at present.
 Bank officers yesterday were prepar- ed to admit that loans would show an increase to-day They do not look fol a very heavy expansion, however. Those who have sold their stocks, but believe in ultimately higher prices, are the strongest advocates of a break ir the market. They want to get back stocks.
 A quite general view is that rates will continue high until after the enc of the year.
 Nipissing was again the feature O. the curb market, selling up from 27 l.: at the start to 30 3-4 near the close O the day. Sales of this stock amounted to 90OO0 shares

consuls and the foreign correspondents hear this news. It was some weeks later that l learned how the bombs got there. The business of the Bulgarian had been prospering noticeably. One day he received note saying that the sum of hundred lira was required of him by the police. He had paid all legal taxes and refused to subscribe the blackmail. A second demand went un- needed. One morning on arriving at his office, he found his door unlocked, though everything within seemed in order. In about an hour a detachment of gendarnes arrived to search the place and found half a dozen 'infernal machines. The Bulgarian was arrest ed at once and incarcerated in the Bias Kula (the White Tower); and his escape from there cost him several ! hundred liras.-Harper's Weekly.

IN THE COVETED CITY OF SALON

 There are Creeks and Bulgarians, Albanians, servians, Kutzo-V Vlachs or Wallachians, and Tziganes. Each of these peoples lives in separate and dis tinct communities never intermarry- ing and seldom associating, except in trade. They have their individual languages, habits ideals, and costumes, and some have political ambitions. Be- sides all these different races there is the colony of Jews-the largest colony of all. And of the non-Moslem races the Jew is the only loyal supporter of the Turkish Government. The Jews of Salonica, like most of those of Constan- tinople, found a refuge in Turkey from the Spanish Inquisition, and if they have not liberty in the Sultans oomln- ions they have almost equal rlghts' Their position is better, perhaps than that of the Turk, who, indeed, IS one of the greates sufferers from the op~ pressions of his Government The dlr- ference between the attitude or the Turkish and that of the Christian peas ant is chiefly that one sits and suffers resigned to the will of Allah, while the other resents the needless hardsh'ps inflicted upon him. Nevertheless, the Turk is the privileged person; ana as for the Jew, he has learned never to defy this authority He has learned tc outwit the Turk, always letting the Turk take to himself any credit; which would satisfy Christian. If the Jews become wealthy they are careful tc make no show, unless they are able in some way to secure foreign protection And for this reason many wealthy olo Ishaelite goes about the streets oi Salonica in shabby gabardine and faded fez, looking exactly like the rest of his race It is dangerous for non, Mosiem-or even a Moslem-to rise above his fellows in either wealth ol intelligence.
