e2.ooo TONS OF CURRENTS.
Brtons Seem 10 Be Exceptionally
 Fond of This Fruit.

Our great t-grandmothers, although they had 10 pay very high price for dried entrants. considered them quite indispensable to the compounding cf those pies, furmities and fiorentines which were the pride of every house wife. Domestic catering must have been an arduous undertaking in thoso days. for entrants and other dried fruits were not to be procured out of London except once year, at the an nual fair of the local market town The royal dish of plum porridge. which it was the privilege of the archbishop of Canterbury to serve to newly crowned sovereign, was composed largely of currants, the fruit being stewed in strong beef soup en. riched with red wine and red sack. Now that the order has changed and simplicity is the keynote of the high est class cookery, we Britons have treblcd our appreciation of he home ly and wholesome currant; and al, though tiorentines and plum porridge are dishes of the past, no less than 62 900 tons of entrants go every year to the making of bread cakes, pastries and buildings to tempt the British ap- petite.-Ladies' Pictorial.

Just a Texas Piq.

H. F. Singletan recently shipped q ten-months old Poland-China pig to the A. and NJ. College of Texas at Bryan that surpassed any hog of it's age We ever saw It tipped the beam at 365 pounds, and, besides it's weight, 1t was pronounced by judges to be a model hog and of the most perfect type of the thoroughbred registered Poland-China breed. The A. and M College paid Mir. Singleton the fancy price of Sl00 for this boar. A litter mate of this same hog was bought several months ago by A. L. Priest, of Charlottesville, for sG0. Many years of intelligent persistence, industry, study, observation and travel are yielding him a merited reward in dol lars and highest honors.- Mckinney (fex.l Courier-Gazette.

BRAIN POW FER
Increased by Proper Feeding.

A lady writer who not only has done good literary work. but reared family found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes:-
 T am an enthusiastic proclaimer or GrapeNuts as regular diet. l TOT merly had no appetite in the morning and for years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them.
 Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, dough nuts or anything l happened to find. Being a writer, at times my head feiI heavy and my brain asleep.
 When I read of Grape-Nuts began eating 1t every morning, also gave It to the children, including, my lo months old baby. who soon grew as fat as a litle pig, good natured ana contented.
 Within week l had plenty oi breast milk, and felt stronger within two weeks. l wrote evenings anu feeling the need of sustained bran power, began eating a small saucer ol Grape-Nuts with milk instead Of my usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night
 "GrapeNuts did wonders for me and I learned to like it. did not nina my housework or mothers cares, TOT l felt strong and full of 'gO,' l grew plump, nerves strong, and when wrote my brain was active and clear indeed. the dull head pain never re- turned"

 But Barnes is already cautiously talk ing cogniZance from another window of the man whose scar identifies him in the throng of passersby on the Rue Noailles The gentleman he gazes upon is. though actively built, lounging past with pair of flashing eyes alertly yet intently fixed upon some window of the hotel near where Burton is stand ing.
 Dressed in the deep mourning of southern France. a high Corsican hat lends picturesqueness to his costume A certain family likeness suggests to Barnes that this man. though nearly l5 years younger, is the half brother of the dead Count Musso Danella Sud denly the man responds to something he has seen in one of the windows of the hotel by nasty, sneering grin.
 What did he see in the window" thinks Barnes, and to Maud's aston ishment bolts from the room, runs down the stairs of the hotel, and passes through the office into the street.
 In the throng of the rather crowded Rue Noailles he fails to find this man he now feels quite certain must be Cowegio Danella,
 Then the American glances up at the windows of the hotel and at the third from that in which he had been standing, the one he knows is Marnas chamber. he sees the bride of Edwin AnstrWher staggering away.
 Gan it he possible that Edwin's wife has given this man some signal from her window that caused his tri- umph 2"

 This reminds Barnes of Marina's re quest to see him. Il will find out from Mrs. Anstruther the contents of that deyilish letter this astute distractor of matrimonial bliss sent her." he thinks. and steps rapidly back into the hotel

BETTER HASTEN SLOWLY.

Now is the time to think about the price of cotton next fall. By diversl- flying and properly restricting cotton acreage, the total yield can be kept within limits where the price will be satisfactory. That is really the only sure way of playing the game. The spectators have all along tried to frighten the farmers with two bug bears; first, that the mills had sup plies to last for two years; second, the mills would close down. Well, an idle mill is a dead loss to the owner 1t can not be turned to anything else, whereas the farmer can change his cotton factory to a corn, oats, wheat, cabbage and potato factory, and still manage to get returns for his invest ment and and his labor Hence if the farmer will but intelligently regulate his prices by the law of supply and demand, there can be no reason, out side of his own lack of cohesiveness, why he should not win the day Nat urally, the spinners try To get cotton as cheap as possible and no one planes them for that. Why then cen sure the farmers when they try to get the best price for their products? -Belton tTexD Journal Reporter.

Resume of Wall Street
BY Henry Clews

has been a marked curtailment in
the product of many articles of mer
chandise and commodity prices gem
orally are lower Whether the de-
cline has reached its limit or not
events only can determine. This
return however, of the commodity
markets to more normal conditions
is wholesome symptom, and will
doubtless hasten a return of natural
industrial activities. As soon as
confidence revives, which is a mat
ter of time, business will be helped
toward fresh start by reduction
in the cost of production. On the
stock exchange there has been slight
weakness at times, and there is more
or less disposition to take profits.
The general market, however, is in
an exceptionally safe and sound con-
dition, following the drastic liqui
dation of 1907 Weak spots have
been thoroughly eliminated, and on
all marked declines the better class
shares will prove a good purchase.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE stock
market shows surprising resistance
to unfavorable news. Unusual
trade reaction, declining railroad
earnings and diminishing profits
would ordinarily exercise a more or
less depressing effect upon values;
but in spite of these conditions,
prices have been we'll maintained,
partly owing to continued ease in
money, partly because unfayorable
developments have been well dis
counted, and partly because the
market has had the support of pow
erful interests. The most encourag-
ing element in the financial situa-
ton is the continued demand for
bonds, showing that there are funds
awaiting investment and that safety
is just now more important factor
than price. Among large holders

ready many concerns which have
previously shut down are restarting,
and with the approach of spring
further Improvement in this direc-
ton should follow 1t was this ex-
pectation which led the United
States Steel corporation not to re-
duce prices Before long construc-
ton work will be resumed, and the
Improved ability Of the railroads to
finance issues which We're held up
during the last three months OF
1907 encourages the expectation OF
recovery in demand for iron and
steel from railroad and other cor
porations.
