Opinions on the New York Market.
s. II. Agnew. of Henry Clews q Co.
The market opened low and weak with
heavy offerings in most OF the leaders
After the first hour London sent over
some buying orders for long accounts.
this inspired the traders, who also became
the principal buyers. Selling was prin-
cipally for commission houses, presum-
ably 10 close out weakly margined ac-
counts. The closing OF Harriman's In
vestigati0n without further adverse dis
closures, and tie probability Of the Al
drich currency bin being favorably acted
upon by the lower House, caused further
covering Of short contracts. and there was
also some buying by traders for a quick
turn. Diligent inquiry failed 20 reveal
any other cause for the advance which
took place In the late hours Of to-day's
trading. Taking advantage Of fair rallies
TO sell still appears 20 be the wiser

Does Man AUoid Beauty?

A question IS asked.
It's n silly season leftover
But here Il IS in all its stupidity.
DO men like exceedingly beautiful
women
It sounds Ike the breathinss OF a
plain woman.
One writer hints that men merely up-
hold beauty as an institution.
This writer seems to think IL is neces-
sary TO our pride. like Independence
Hall.
A woman argues that men are seldom
type
This might possibly be due to the fact
that there are not enough superlaJive
beauties to go round.
At any rate. one would hesitate to
wager anything Of Importance that Mr..
Man would go out Of his way to avoid
beauty.

Queer Coffee.

boys

mother and sisters being out shopping.
his brother was keeping him company.
Tho invalid having remarked that he
would like a cup OF coffee. the small
brother volunteered to prepare IL. So he
went down TO the kitchen, and taking q
bottle or what ne supposed TO be coffee
essence, made a steaming hot cup.
His brother thought the taste rather
peculiar. thought Il seemed rather fun
ny coffee, but made no remark.
When the mother returned the
younger boy in high glee told her what
q nice cup OF coffee he had made.
"But we haven't any coffee in the
house!" she exclaimed. Whatever
have you done7"
50 he showed 'her tho bottle.

BiunderS In the Kitchen

About the most common blunder. It
Seems, is to mistake something or 9th
or for another article very much like 1t.
For instance, one girl made an Indian
maize cake-colloquially known as "a
Johnny cake"-fOr afternoon tea.
She was most anxious to make il q
success, and sure enough when she took
= out OF the oven It had risen so high
that sho felt nightly proud OF her
handiwork.
But alas!' When It came to be cut
1t was discovered that instead Of
crushed meal she had used sawdust, a
Tin OF which stood on the same shelf!
Rather like this is the story the
woman who made a fruit cake. which.
when it came to table. was so hard that
1t was almost impossible 70 cut Il.
An investigation of the larder dis
closed the alarming fact that she had
used plaster Of Paris instead OF flour!
Starch, too, has been put into pastry
instead Of corn -four, and soap used in
some cakes in mistake for desiCcated
cOcoanut. And in neither case was the
mistake discovered until the dish was
actually tasted.

Hard Water.

Old Oaken Bucket without a shud-

cooking and washing for family Of
six with no other water supply than
what she had hauled out OF well
nearly 80 feet deep by means of n
bucket. Baths in winter were almost
out of the question, and even in the
summer they were regarded as an oc-
casion of more than ordinary impor-
tance. for which preparations had to
be made hours ahead OF the great
event. a cubic foot OF water weighs
62h pounds. and in all these years
the number OF tons this woman had
lifted had made poetic illusions to
