Dry Goods.

New York. April 29-The dry goods market is beginning to reflect better tone in the buying. The distribution is broadening very slowly. but tie produe- ton is being very seriously limited. Heavy cotton goods have been quite gen erally reduced in value There have been some large sales of silk piece goods from stocks in the past ten days at very low prices. Hosiery is being bought a little more freely and the tone in the agencies is a little improved Altogether there is more confident feeling in the market, all though it is not yet reflected in active purchasing in any direction.

PLUMBERS IN CHILE.
Sewage Systems.


Good plumbers are now said to go
to Chile when they die, says Harper's
Weekly. The national government
has just directed that a large number
Of the cities put in complete water
and sewerage systems. This means
a greatly increased demand for all
plumbers supplies. Heretofore the
demand for this class Of goods has
been limited to Valparaiso and Santi-
ago, while from now on it will be
much more general, and the demand
should soon be doubled.
So far the United States has been
supplying only omparatively small
part of this business, and while Am
erican-made goods are we'll received,
the trade has. not been properly ex-
plotted. The United States supplied
In 1906 only about per cent. of the
lead pipe imported, which in all
amounted to s24,577, U. s. currency;
while of the bath supplies we furn-
ished about 81 per cent. of the .$21, ,180
worth. The other accessories of the
plumbing business largely came from
| Europe, England taking the lead in
I such articles as brass tubing, valves,
| faucets, etc. Il.

Cut the hay quite fine with a cut

be shredded somewhat by hand-put it
In a pail, and pour scalding water
over it. It is well to have a cover
for the pail, SO the steam can be kept
In. Let it stand for few hours until
It is well soaked, then mix with bran

DRINKING FOUNTAIN.

After sixteen years experience and
with varying success with different
sorts, have found the following the
most satisfactory and simple:
Take a basin or crock that will
hold two quarts of water and fill it
with pebbles little smaller than
eggs. When level full of pebbles
pour in the water until the spaces
between them are full. Sink the YES
sel in the ground until the rim is an
inch above the surface. The chicks
can run all over this, stepping on
the pebbles and can drink the water
without getting wet, as they cannot
crowd each other into the water no
matter how much they try to do so.
It is easy to clean and will keep the
water cool for several hours Mary
