Farewell to the Broom.

"1he problems of the housekeeper
| are receiving from the architects OF
houses something of the attention
| they have long claimed in vain,"
| writes John l.. Anderton in the May
Woman's Home Companion.
1.-THE solution of the sweeping oId
lem is case in point. In one of the
newest apartment houses there is not
a broom to be found from cellar to
garnet, or rather from third subcellar
to the aircleaning chamber on the
roof. Every suite throughout the
building is equipped with vacuum
cleaning apparatus. There is a pipe
connected with the vacuum chambe
in the basement in every suite, while
flexible hose long enough to reach
to the furtnest corner of every room
is supplied, which may be readily at
tached to nozzle in this piping just
as you would connect garden hose
The vacuum is controlled by spiggot.
1t is only necessary to pass the noz-
Eel OF this vacuum hose over the car
pet, rug or drapery, and every par
ticle of dust is instantly drawn up in
to the hose. The dirt collected in
this way passes quickly into the pipe,
and thence, perhaps matter of a
dozen stories to chamber in the sub
cellar, where an attendant shovels it
up and carries it away.
"The.nozzle which picks up this
dust allows no particle to escape, so
that in all this sweeping there is
literally no dust. incidentally it
remove more dust than the most
persistent and vigorous broom. The
entire operation of sweeping Nigh
be carried on with the sweeper in
evening dress. so far, at least, as
cleanliness is concerned The work
of hours is reduced to minutes"

STOCK MARKET
 RATHER FEvER|SH Fluctuations Are Wide and
 Trade Is Active RAILROAD SHARES LOWER Northern Pacific Declines Because Ex- tra Dividend Is Not Announced.
 Other Railroad Issues Are
 Consequently Weaker.
RAILROAD SHARES LOWER

New York, October Sl-Fluctuations in prices of stocks were quite wide today and the purposes of the professional trad CTS were thus better served than in the lethargic market which has prevailed for several days. The drawback was that the fiuctuation became rather feVerish and cratic. making it difficult even for the room traders to take advantage of oppor- tinities.
 The dealings of reduction were not of significance outside this narrow profess sional circle. Evidently there had been built up speculative accounts of some volume on the assumption that there was to be an extra dividend on Northern Pa cific and rather precipitate denlne fol- lowed the announcement that only the regular dividend had been delivered. Re ports of an extra dividend have been heard ever since the Burlington dividend was increased, owing to the benefit ac- cruing to the Northern Pacific treasury from that increase. Official disclaimers of the rumors queted them for a time, but they were revived by yesterdays ex- tra dividend of the Great Northern pre- ferred stock out ef profit of subsi- diary company
 The Hill stocks abruptly declined when 1t became known that Northern Pacific was getting it's regular quarterly 1% per cent and no more. Their strength earlier had only partly offset the heavy tone in the general list, which was inclined to react from the sharp advance of yester- day of it's own weight The reactiohary tendency was emphasized by the weak ness in Chesapeake and Ohio, following the publication of it's annual report show ing only nominal surplus left out of the years reeeipts after special appropra- tions and the payment of the present dividend on the stock
 The detained flrmness of the money market was restraint on any speculative venture. The interior continues to draw on New York, and some special require ments also develop from time to time
