 New Orleans. May 31.--Further liqui- dation in all markets resulted in a lower level of values today, sum- mer months suffering most. the dif- ference between July and October hav- ing been reduced to fifty-five points.
 Of late 1t has been noticed that es- inmates on the probable acreage this year have been larger than they were one week ago, the average of esti- mates of the past three days figuring about ' per cent increase compared with an increase of about per cent last week. and estimates on condition above eighty-five, the normal of the past ten years, whereas this time one week ago they were placed at smaller figures. The trade all the while were an increase in the acreage of about 8 per cent and in a condition report of about eighty-five. and when such un- official late estimates made their ap- pearance, sentiment was influenced ac- cordingly.
 As has been indicated by the course of market this week, operators have arrived at the eonelrsion nc that the bu otherwise. Meanwhile however. the long interest has been well nigh eliminated and there is no doubt but creased proportionately.
 Thus far shorts appear confident of their position, little covering having been entered into notWlthStandlng to- morrow being the last business day be- fore the triple holiday and publish ing of government bulletin next Mon day. It is not improbable, however. but that there will be some profit talk ing by shorts before close of tomor- row as the chances are that outstand- ing lines will be reduced to some extent at least
 The New York Journal of Commerce printed a very glowing report on the outlook in Texas today, saying better conditions in the State could hardly be expected and that there was liber- al increase in the acreage.
 It Is to be boren in mind that con- ditions vary from month to month. and if is a matter of record that excellent prospects, even in Texas, as late as the month of August, have undergone a change for the worse and that disaster followed in its wake.
 The acreage after the growing season sets in remains the same unless land be abandoned on account of foul fields, in which case there would be q re- duction.
 Therefore since the original acreage cannot be increased. the original area planted should be large enough to pro- vide for the worlds requirements. un- less the season should be favorable one. an acreage of 30.000.000 acres will he required this year. Will the gov ernment reports as much?

Stevenson's life in Samoa is, in some
ways, the most interesting story of all
and here again you can find that story
in his own writing. This time. how.
ever, 1t is in his letters more than in
his books. These letters are so vivid
moreover, that you feel as If you were
right in Samoa with him. You are llv.
ing In his spotless little box Of a house
called Vailima. which means five
rivers" and so reminds you that it is
within sound Of flowing streams. There
from the broad veranda-and the house
is almost half veranda-you can look
straight up on one side at the wooded
Yaea Mountain; and on the other side
down 600 feet before you CLEANS the
sea, 'filling the end of two wales OF
forest" The house Is built In a clear
ing in the jungle. The trees about II
are twice as tall as the house; the
birds about 1t are always talking OIL
singing; and here and there among the
trees echoes "the ringing sleighbells OF
the tree toad."-St. Nicholas.

WEDDING WAS INTERRUPTED.

Halt Ceremony While Sally "Jag-
ged" the Chickens.
Bishop Gambler of Georgia recently
told one of the national lawmakers
from that State an experience he had
when he first began to preach the Cos
pei and tie nuptial knots, says the
Washington Times.
"One day was called on and en-
gagged to marry couple in one of the
out-of-the-way districts. found the
house rudely constructed log affair,
with but one room and a loft above,
which was entered by a ladder and a
trap door. A big table was in the cen
ter of the room, and it was loaded with

took up nearly all Of one side of the
room. The bride and groom lined up
and l was proceeding with the cere-
mony, and while in the most impressive
part of it, the old lady poked her head
out of the trap door In the loft and
called:
"'Sally, turn them chickens and jag
EN- with a fork
THE command was obeyed by the
daughter, she leaving the trembling
bridegroom while she Jagged 'em with
a fork. could not help laughing at
the righteousness of the whole affair
and have never witnessed a marriage
ceremony since without remembering
this experience"

The Appendicitis Fad.-Not one pa.
tent in ten who is operated on fop ap-
pendicitis is a sufferer from the dis
ease. An occasional case of appended
It's requires operation, but the appendix
craze is In full swing among the peo-
pie, as we'll as among many doctors.
Many good physicians are inclined to
regard any pain or ache situated below
the diaphragm as due to a fullfedged
case Of appendicitis, requiring imme-
date operation for fat fee. The lead
Ing men in the profession are to blame,
for they refuse to raise their voices
against an abuse which they know ex-
lists and the insistence of patients them
selves for the frequency Of these I'M
necessary operations.
GaIlstones.-T result from the
accumulation within the system of re-
tanned mineral matters and are partic-
ularly serious where alkali water is
used. The treatment depends to some
extent upon the peculiar conditions
present. AS rule, however, fasting
or light. diet with free drinking of dis
titled or lithia water, enemas, sweat
baths, the use of absolvents and abund-
ant exercise to induce perspiration will
do much toward giving relief. The hot
sitz bath, hot applications and avoid
ance of mental strain are important.
In large number or cases the only
cure is q radical operation and this
when performed by a competent sur
geon Is not especially difficult, painful
or dangerous.
Brain Disorders.-Congestio of the
brain most frequently results from wor-
ry and anxiety of the mind, producing
sleeplessness, followed by engagement
of the small blood vessels of the brain,
sudden loss of vital power and almost
instant death. Apoplexy may be an In
herited disease, or it may be induced
by too free living or its opposite, too
great abstemiousness. Paralysis may
affect only a small part of the body,
from a finger or a toe to an entire
limb, or 1t may disable half the body
or the whole body, when death soon
follows. When half the body Is affect
ed with paralysis, we may be certain
that the seat Of the disease Is in the OPP
posfte side of the brain, because the
nerve fibres cross.
