dullness Of which, restricted the ac
tivities almost wholly to the closing
up Of contracts. Borrowing on call
today carries over until Monday and
the evidence of oversuppiy of funds
as the day progressed helped to allay
apprehension and conducted to the
stiffening 81 prices Of stocks. Dis
counts eased in foreign markets, indi-
eating the prospects of money relax
alton after the turn OF the year. An
other sharp relapse in foreign ex~
change rates pointed to the specula-
tive nature of some of the recent
strength in that market and the over
supply of exchange bills left on hand
was the consequence.
Reading second preferred collapsed
violently. running off liz points from

ment OF yesterday. The most notice
able movement was in the Rock Is
land group both in the stocks and the
collateral bonds secured by the Rock
Island stock. Belief in identical con-
troll this company. Lehigh Valley and
Wabash still figured as the chief in
fiuence in the movement. An ad-
vance of copper metal in London
helped the copper group. The large
shifting of loans that has been going
on during the week indicated by the
actual decrease of sll.90a.s00 in that

A MANUFACTURED CLIMATE.

Methods of the Paris Market Garden
ers In Forcing Nature.
The gardeners of Paris get their
products on the market weeks before
the regular season for them. This
forcing of nature is described by Err
nest Poole in Success Magazine.
The secret is simply this: The French
maraichers have manufactured a eli
mate to suit them. AS one observer
has said, They have moved the ell
mate of Monte Carlo up to the suburbs
Of Paris"
Some new prodigy of modern sci
ence, this? Not at ALL Only enor-
nous expense in money and In time.
The gardens, whenever possible, are
placed on land with a slope to the
south and are well protected by walls
on the north and east, walls built to
reflect light as we'll as to give protec-
ton from the northeast winds.
The ground is practically covered
with glass, not as in a greenhouse, but
by glass frames In the open, three
light frames of uniform size, - by
Az feet, and also by glass bells. These,
too, are of uniform size, about the
shape Of a chapel bell, a little less
than seventeen inches In diameter and
from fourteen to fifteen inches high.
The French call them cloches. You
may often see over thousand frames
and over 10000 glass bells in one two
acre plot in the suburbs Of Paris.
A more recent innovation is the en-
ployment of hot water pipes run under
the soil, making Of the earth verita-
bic steam heated hotel, with this es-
sential difference, that the hotel keep

keep his guests, but to persuade them
to leave on the earliest possible day.

A Memorable Wreck.

The most memorable wreck in the
history of the American surf was that
Of the bark Mexico, stranded on Hemp
stead beach, Long Island. early in the
morning of Jan. 3. 1887. She carried
1O4 passengers and crew of twelve
men. Four passengers and four Of the
crew were saved by a surfboat from
the beach under the command of Ray
nor Rock Smith. All others were
frozen to death, though the wreck was
so close to the shore that their cries
and even some of their words were
plainly heard on the beach. 1t was
the story of this wreck, as published
throughout the nation. that led to the
establishment Of the United States
life saving service.-Scrap Book.

AS the Lewiston Teller sees it; Idaho
will have to begin soon to distinguish
between the constructive statesman and
the mere opportunist. There are men
riding into Office and power in the tidal
wave of a popular measure who do not
believe themselves in its efficiency but
are merely using it for selfish ends.
This was Illustrated when the free
silver boom struck Idaho and it is in
evidence again when the local option
and direct primary are the popular

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
Have One Big Fair.

Now that there is to be no county
fair at Grangeville this fall, it looks
like it would be the proper neighborly
spirit, from which good could be de-
rived, if Idaho county joined with Nez-
perez county, Idaho and Asotin county,
Washington. in their big attraction at
Lewiston. Indeed, it might not be a
bad plan for all the counties Of this
part Of the state to join in with the
Decentralization association and
make that attraction a permanent an
nual exhibit for all the counties. Pres
ent transportation facilities in Idaho
county make it out Of the question for
this county to attract any large number
of strangers, no matter what the IN
ducements might be. Older states
have found that economy and better
service are gained in centralizing their
institutions. A fair is very import
ant institution to an undeveloped state;
its collection Of products tell the Wis
itor Of its possibilities. South Idaho
has its big fair at Boise. Why should
north Idaho be without its big fair, and,
worse still, why does north Idaho have
to depend upon Spokane for the little
publicity it is now getting in parts Of
the country from which new settlers
are most likely 10 come.
What is said here is not likely 10 take

prompted by the greatest good that can
