TRUE TO HIS PROMISE.
BY Their Own Testimony, Doctor Had
ReiuVenated Patients.

A German doctor who claimed to
have discovered the secret of restor-
ing youth, advertised in London that
he could in two days rejuvenate the
most decrepit bag. This brought
crowd of ancient danes to his house.
At the first interview he invited each
patient to write her surname, Chris
tan name and age on piece of paper.
The ages whereto they pleaded guilty
varied. but all ruled high. The doctor
undertook to give each patient the
promised elixir next day. On the ap-
pointed day the doctor regretted that
he unfortunately had mislaid the pa
per containing his youth-seekers'
ages, and he, therefore, requested
each one to write it down and call
again. In writing down her age the
second time each woman took many
years off the age she previously had
admitted. The doctor, pretending TO
have found the first papers, called
them to witness, comparing the lists,
that he had kept his word. inasmuch
as in 4S hours they had all become
many years younger.

Creeping speciality Improvement is
still in order in the stock market, but
a reactionary period seems to us to be
approaching and daily operators will
be wise if they put themselves in posi-
tion to sustain it. The creeping i'm
provement is the most aggravating
for the shorts because they don't know
which way to turn. Judging from
what we are able to learn from inside
circles we continue to advocate the
policy of buying on recessions, but we
would not fail to take a major por-
tion of profits on holdings during the
bullying, which procedure will put the
daily trader in such shape to repur-
chase with satisfaction and confidence
on recessions, which are sure to come
soon. The good crop report of the
government will be published on We'd
nesday and the market has been ad-
Ivancing to discount it in part The
government will about the same time
receive perhaps SIS, 1000 900 from the
banks, and considered in connection
with the extraordinary payments by
railroad deals, etc. the outlook for a
deficit in the accounts of the New York
banks is very good, with the loan de-
partment very much overwhelmed.
There are good reasons for believing
that on a volume of trading q general
recession will occur, which outlook
should induce conservatism.

Devotion Of Gyp.

One hundred and tWenty-four miles
is long distance for a short-legged
little fox terrier to travel in less than
one week, yet a certain fox terrier
named Gyp recently went all that way
TO see her two babies, from which she
had been taken. And she had no one
TO tell her the direction. Instinct and
mother love taught her where to 90.

o. X. Lyle of T. A. Mcintyre & Co.
writing from Kansas City, Mo, under
date July z, says: What I learn from
Kansas is to the effect that the re-
suits Of the wheat crop are exceeding
expectations There are some bad
spots but generally embraced as be-
lieve in the abandoned area and for
that reason do not count. The trouble
seems to lie in getting the wheat har-
vested, much OF it is dead ripe and will
shed in the cutting. This warm wealth
er is boosting corn in those parts.
Don't seem to be much gloom here
regarding corn. There seems to be
nothing wrong with the hog crop. One
station shipped 500 cars Of corn last
season; has not shipped a car this.

T. a Mcintyre & Co: While we do
not believe in the present bun move
ment, believing that conditions at this
time do not warrant it, continued ag-
gressive manipulation may force the
market three or four points higher
We would, however, advise caution in
operations in this market for If any
OF the big interests behind the move
ment should have a disagreement and
endeavor to unload, prices would suffer
a very serious decline. 1t might be
well to bear in mind, also. that the
short interest Is very SMALL

1t is too early to talk figures for
the northwest crop, but in my judg-
ment the three states can produce only
a fair yield of wheat. There is dis
eased condition running more or less
over the three states and important
areas in the Red River valley will
produce very light yields. The under
growth is not strong enough to make
a large head except for limited areas
where there is a good stand. Consid-
cradle of the area in North Dakota will
not head before August. AS Mime
apolis and country mills grind 125.000,-
000 there will not be much to spare
for shipment outside of Durum. A
large area will only give half crop.

USEFUL HINTS.

An excellent powder for tenderNskins can
be easily made from cornstarch moistened
with enough pure alcohol to make a stiff
paste. When hard 1t may be powdered
easily.
Scaldlng the milk for custard pie adds
greatly to its flavor. An addition of a tea
spoonful Of brown sugar or moiasses it also
helpful.
A cedar chest can easily be made at
home by taking n wooden chest or box
that has been stained. Sprinkle inside lib
orally with oil of cedar and on papers, put
between cloths and keep closed. A clothes
press with shelves can be sprinkled and
also the walls. BY keeping tightly closed
will be as IL made of cedar.
If windows move hard melt a able
spoonful of lard and pour a little between
window frame and casing, and also a little
on the roller and rope. 1t works like
magic. This is a good thing to know when
the frames are swollen from being closed
during rainy weather.
When baking apples haste them often
with their own juice. This is as e~ssentia
for good results as to haste a roast.
To cut a loaf of hot brown bread take
a piece of Irvine and place it around the
loaf and cross the ends and pull. There
will be a clean cut without crumbs.
To keep away mosquitoes dip a piece of
sponge or flannel in c~amphorated spirits
and tack to the top Of the bedstead.

FOR AFTERNOON TEA.

An excellent mixture for the afternoon
brew is two-thirds English breakfast to
one-third a pekoe.
Cream Is, of course, served In a silver
or glass pitcher. If the latter 1t is pref
test in fine cut glass or else engraved.
Lemon is laid in thin slices on a small
platter with a dolly beneath with one
quarter lemon at the side from which to
squeeze an extra drop or two IL needed.
A two-pronged small fork is the most
convenient thing with which to handle
the lemon. The oyster fork serve nicely.
The tray should be brought to the table
ready set. the kettle filled with boiling
water from the kitchen, requiring only a
moment or two OF flame from the alcohol
lamp to set it bubbling.
The brewing Of the tea, which is
quickly accomplished, will never be sue
cessful with any but hot. water actually
and freshly boiling. Anything other than
this makes a beverage far from the liking
of the connoisseur.
W kinds of cake or sandwiches, one
plain and one sweet, are sufficient FOL
the late afternoon tea, n only one Is
served by the majority Of people on every
placed on a compete or cake basket, with
a mat beneath of lace paper or the ordi-
nary dolly. .
Two of the latest pieces in the tea out.
fit are an engraved glass screen. trimmed
In silver, to protect the kettle lamp, and {
long silver trumpet for blowing out thu
blaze.
