Housekeeping a Broad Field.

Housekeeping implies the knowledge
housekeeper must have personal ac-
quaintance with marketing, catering,
cooking, laundry work, scrubbing,
securing, bedmaking, managing, serv-
ing and home making. She need not
do everything herself. but this being
her time-honored vocation, she must
at least have sufficient preparation
for it to enable her to set others at
work as we'll as to work herself. Con-
sidering that multitude of OF Ameri-
can woman not only keep house well,
but nurse their families in illness, as
sist their children in home work, su-
pervise the piano practice OF their
daughters, take an interest in the ath
letic sports of their sons, and econo-
mize in order that their husbands may
enlarge their business or buy more
acres, we cannot look upon housekeep-
ing as an easy trade.
On the day of the San Francisco
earthquake a lady was awakened in
the early morning by the rocking to
and fro of her home, the falling of
pictures and the crash of breaking
glass. 1t was not until the late after
noon that she decided with her hus-
band that they must fly for their lives
and leave the dear home behind them
probably to be seen no more. In the
interval, as she later wrote to her
mother in the East, she did not lose
her composure. II cooked good din
ner as best could" she said, mot
knowing when we would eat regular
meal and had the sweeping done az
usual" Here was the poise- of the
perfect housekeeper whose head die
not fail her, although there was no lit
tie heartache in the fight from home

ing flame. Margaret E. Sangster il

FURNACES SOLD OUT
Unprecedented Demand for All
Grades OF Southern Iron.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 81
With the exception of low grade iron
there is no spot iron to be had in the
Birmingham district This is the clim
ak of the strenuous situation which has
been prevailing in this section for sew
eral weeks past. 1t simply means that
the furnaces are sold 'up to the hand
lie, and that it is even difficult for
them to borrow certain grades of iron
from each other, az they have been do
ing for the past two weeks. Seven
teen dollars per ton for No. . foundry
continues to be the figure which is us
ed as basis for spot iron, but it is
largely theoretical, since no spot iron
except of low grades is to be had.
Some companies have been getting $16
to $40. so for No. 2 foundry iron for
next years delivery.
The demand is unprecedented Sales
are being made almost to the middle
of next year. The larger part Of the
production for the first half of 1907 has
been sold already, and all of it will be
sold at the present rate long before this
year ends. The only hope, iron pro-
ducers say, lies in increased product
ion, and a rather discouraging outlook
exists in this regard. There has been
SO much rain during the past two
months that the production of raw ma
terials has been greatly impeded. For
instance the supply of limestone has
run short, due to bad weather and the
difficulty of quarrying Coke product
ion has suffered because of the bad
weather, while work has been badly
delayed ON the construction of new
coke ovens. Ore mining has also
been impeded for the same reason.
There is no change in iron produc-
tion. During the past week the
Woodward Iron company has blown in
one furnace at Woodward, but this in
crease was practically offset by the
blowing out of the Central Iron COM
pany's S stack which recently started up
at Holt. Within the next few days
the Southern Steel company's furnace
at Trussville will blow in on basic
iron, which will be used at the COM
pany's Gadsden steel mill. The Truss
vile furnace formerly belonged to the
Lacy-Bu Iron company, which was
recently absorbed by the Southern
Steel company. Several furnaces which
are undergoing repairs viii is ready
for the torch soon, but some of them
will have to wait for raw material
stocks before they can start up. In
fact shortage of raw material is
threatened.
There is very general complaint
among iron and coal producers be-
cause of the shortage of cars and mo-
tive power on the railroads with which
to move iron and iron products and
coal. This has seriously affected scme
of the companies, causing delay in de
livering cast iron pipe on rush orders
and likewise as to steel and other pro
ducts. Production of pipe is enormous
and the years melt will be a record
breaker

LAWSON SAYS HE WON'T QUIT.
In the Race for Sheriff TO the Finish
in Spite of Reports.

Carl Lawson paid his assessment as a
candidate for sheriff to the treasurer of
the county central committee this morn
ing and announces that he is in the race

Mr.. Lawson is considerably disturbed
by the report that he would withdraw
from the race for sheriff before the pri-

ment that there is no truth in this report
which has gained circulation.
He said this morning: Il am receiv-
ing encourag cement from my friends and
they are insisting that I make the race
for sheriff and I feel that it is my duty
to do So 7 cannot understand how it
is that the report that I would withdraw
from the race should get started for I
have never contemplated such thing .

New York Stocks.

New York, Wall St, Jan. 17.-STOCKS-
Opening prices in the stock market today
shot upward on large dealings with gains
well distributed among the standard
stocks and specialties. Very large profit
taking made an irregular movement for
a time. The general demand was of too
varied character to be concerned much
with the reaction in Sugar and Amdlga-
mated Copper to a. fraction below last
night. Business increased to very large
proportions all around after the buy *
movement in Union Pacific got under fun
swing. That stock sold at 15S15 Amalga-
mated Copper rallied to a point over last
night at II O'Clock. Pressure was renewed
in Amalgamated Copper, carrying it ba TX
to 113, and causing some reactions else
where in sympathy. Union Pacific's rise
to above 159 stiffened prices at noon.
Bonds were firm at noon.

HE STOPPED The CARS


Chicago. Jan. 17.-Ir. Maurice r. Doty,
traction expert for the city of Chicago,
today peremptorily stopped traffic on
the two cable lines, running on Wabash
avenue and State street on the south
side Of the city and which are owned
by the Chicago City Railway company
Both lines carry every day many thou
sands Of passengers between the resi-
idence portion of the south side Of the
city and the business district.
The reason given by Dr.. sDofy for the
stOppage of the cable lines Is that the
lives OF passengers are imperilled by
the fact. that the gates on the left side
Of the cars are left open while they
traverse two squares on Wabash ave-
nue., between Randolph and Madison
streets. The two lines pass in Wabash
avenue, the cars of the State street line
gong north, while those of the Wabash
avenue line so south. The right side of
the cars is the nearl side in passing.
For ten years it has been the custom
OF the company to leave open the gates
on the left side Of the cars in order
That passengers may enter without be
ing compelled to stand on the tracks
of the other cable line When the two
squares have been passed the gates on
the left side are closed.
The mayor pointed out TO General
Manager Mitten that the ordinances
of the city demanded that he gates on
the left side of the cars remain closed
Mr. Mitten admitted this, but declared
that considering the positions Of the
two tracks it would be impossible to do
this while running those particular
squares and at the same time give sat
isfactory service to the public
An order was later given by the
mayor allowing the cars to run as be-
fore, the tie UP on both lines continued
for little longer than two hours.
A representative of the railway ex-
planned to the mayor that in that par
ticular section, where the city ordi-
nance was violated the public conyen-
fence demanded the opening of the
gates on the left.
