NEW YORK, March 29.-Holiday
quiet pervaded the stock market at
the close of last week. Many promi-
nent operators are still absent on
Easter vacations, and this also tended
to discourage activity. The most i'm
portant feature of the week was the
offering of $5O,O00,0O0 New Yorw City
Ans. The issue was a success, mas
much as it was largely over-sub-
scribed, and the prices realized We're

that conditions generally favor stocks

the April settlements are over and the
labor outlook becomes more clear.
Funds withdrawn previous to the first
of April for the usual disbursements
do not generally return before the
middle of that month, leaving an in
terval of unsettlement and possible
stringency. Money is firm abrood as
we'll as here, and a further advance
in the bank of England rate would not
be surprising. The British political
situation somewhat disturbs the Lon
don market, as does the low price of
Consols, wild promotion of rubber
companies, and the large issues of Sc
curities in general. 1t is quite GER

as strong as here, and this fact will

The present month has witnessed
very heavy offerings of new securi-

taken. 1t is a noticeable feature at
the moment that securities generally
are in strong hands, the floating sup

The public is certainly not in the mar

Perfect Work
On Paris GOWnS

Never before in years has so ample
opportunity been offered for the fine
hand sewing that was fashionable in
the days of our grandparents. One of
the recent fads in Paris Costuming
for the debuntante in particular is the
reverse of the winters elaboration.
Wonderfully simple frocks are shown
for her, for both evening and daytime
wear, and in seasonable weights; and
upon these frocks, whose outline is
their charm, much time and labor is
spent.
Here is opportunity for various
stitches and Tor the finest of sewing
Rarely are they machine stitched; that
is the trademark of the American
tailor. They are blind-stitched along
their hens; Innings are slip stitched to
materials; and in the even weaves for
summer hemstitching is resorted to as
finish.
in al! of our pattern sheets and
fashion magazines are we even now
seeing the result of the perfectly de-
signed, simple gown versus the COM
plicated, and we are feeling the result
if we enjoy the very act Of sewing
in tendency to sew more perfectly.
In the longest of the bloused and
belted tunic dresses on which the only
| trimming was an embroidered orna-
ment, which displaced the belt buckle,
and two more like it on the side panels
| of the tunic, who could neglect to work
them by hand an das earnestly to finish
the dress to perfection?

relegated to white undermuslins, but

 A millionaire can buy up a leg1s- lative majority. He cannot buy up majority of the people.
 Our platform is right in demanding that senators shall be elected in the way best calculated to prevent the influence of corruption.
 There is little danger that obscure men will be raised to so great posi- ton, under our system of State party conventions, or under what may be the coming system of direct State wide primaries.
 No man ought ever to be nomi- mated for the great off1ces-such as United States Senator, or Governor who has not made good in his spec faI walk of life. If he is a farmer he should have made good as . farmer; if a merchant, as mer chant; if a manufacturer, as manN 1 facturer; if a lawyer, as a lawyer if a capitalist, as a capitalist. He must have made good in a wa! that those in his calling general! recognize; and if he has, they vii not fail to let the people know it | and the people will believe them.

The Planet Mercury.

Though Mercury is one of the small est of the planets, it is perhaps the most troublesome to the astronomer. It lies so close to the sun that it is seen but seldom in comparison with the other great planets Its orbit is very eccentric. and it experiences dis turbances by the attraction of other bodies in a way not yet fully under stood. A special difficulty has also been found in the attempt to place Mercury in the weighing scales. We ran weigh the whole earth. we can weigh the sun, the moon and even Jupiter and other planets. but Mercury presents difficulties of a peculiar char acter. Le Verrier. however. succeeded in devising a method of weighing it.
 He demonstrated that our earth is attracted by this planet. and he showed how the amount of attraction may Dc disclosed by observations of the sun. so that from an examination of the ob- servations be made an approximate determination of the mass of Mercury. Le Verrier's result indicated that the weight of the planet was about the If teenth part of the weight of the earth In other words. If our earth was placed in a balance and fifteen globes, each equal to Mercury. were laid in the other the scales would hang evenly rStory of the Heavens"

 Giving desperate battle to six at~ tendants at the jail, he was not suD- dued until his hands and feet had been roped and handcuffed and ankle chains had been securely fastened.
 Even then he wrfthed so furfouslJ that it was with difficulty that Pa trolmen Hatch and Bray carried him bodily into the waiting patrol wagon Bray's left hand was bitten In the encounter, but the wound was care fully attended at the emergency nos- pita1.

A Word of Warning.

"You never proposed to her on your knees," cried the veteran married man in dismay.
 Sure I did: sure" the youth repeat ed. a glad. proud light shining in his eyes.
 Well" said the veteran, you'll re gret it about twice week for the rest of your life. After you get married the slightest argument. the first impatient word, will cause your wife to say, You weren't like this. when you went down on your knees and begged me, with tears in your eyes. to marry you
 Its pretty bad to have an angry wife read out your old love letters re- proachfully," said the veteran. but that is nothing to being reminded Of your kneeling proposal every week till you are great-grandfather."
 "You proposed on your knees your self?'' the youth hazarded. But the veteran drowned and made no reply.-Los Angeles Times.

Some fishermen of Miletus sold draft of fishes to a bystander. When the net was drawn in it contained golden tripod. and the purchaser claimed IL was his, while the fishermen contend ed that they sold only the fish that might be in the net The dispute was referred to the oracle of Delphi. whc awarded the tripod to the wisest man in Greece. Thereupon it was taken to Thaies, who declined it and suggested that it be given to Bias He in turn refused to accept it. and thus 1t was successively declined by all the seven and they were thereafter known as the seven wise men of Greece.

Virginia State Farmers In
Stitute.

The Regular Summer Session OF
the Virginia State Farmers lnsti-
tute will be held in Petersburg on
August 9th, 10th and 18th.
A most interesting program has
been arranged and is now ready for
distribution. Prominent speakers
from within and without the State
will discuss topics of vital impor-
lance to the farmers and stockmen
of the State.
A new feature of this years pro-
gram will be topics of interest to-
farmers wives and daughters. La
dies who have made Social Econom-
les their life study and work will
undertake to show how farm Lille
may be made easier and more at
tractive to the women folks.
The Boys Corn Clubs and Dem
onstration Workers will be given a
place on the program and this vii
prove u highly interesting feature
On the last day of the session the
Petersburg Chamber of Commerce,
in conjunction with the Norfolk d
Western Railway, will give the en-

I doubt if half the farmers OF the
great central valley own Overcoats.
Cows feed all the year on green
grass and the soil is working over
time: for one can put in crop alter
crop if he has enough ambition to
work all the time. But it must be
confessed that as a rule California
farmers are not energetic. That is
probably due to the climate. Here
everything tends to make a man
want to lay off and enjoy life, and
he imagines that all he has to do Is
to tickle the ground and he will get
a'crop. That is where many a
man makes mistake, for Callforn-
ia is not q lazy mans country IN
any sense of the word. Dame Ma
ture keeps humping, and If the
farmer does not keep up with her
he will find his farm overgrown
with weeds and his crops choked
out.
Lying north of the Bay of San
Francisco, along the coast, are

that is of interest, and my first

Otero's Secret of Youth.

Twenty years ago, or therea-
bouts. she was "the beautiful OF
gro" of New York; today she IS
ola belle Otero" of Parls-thls
dazzling Spanish dancer who seems
to take her beauty bath in the
fountain of eternal youth.
Her simple life means going to
her chateau in Touraine and enter
ing upon q regime of youth-makins
or youth-preserving that might dis
concert the average person who
thinks of the simple life as a mat
ter of lying about in hammocks or
on the grass and listen to the birds
and bees.
Not so Otero's version of it. She
goes out to Touraine and every day
she goes through q succession OF
calisthentic Stunts" that wouldin-
cline most people to call her life
strenuous" rather than simple.
This business of youth-making is a
hard one.
To begin with, she gets up early.
The dawn belongs to youth, says
Otero, and as the sun is rising she
walks barerooted through the cold
dew. Then she plunges into the
brook and takes a swim, after hay
ing stood nude in the sun and air
and gone through series of breath
ing exercises that would make a
Hindu yogi hesitate. -
Then she goes back to her bed
room and has q glass of sour milk
and cream and goes off to sleep like
a lamb or a kitten. She wakes up
again about the time other people
are stirring and starts in on day
of rowing, bicycle riding and walk
ing. At noon she is as hungry as a
bear and has dcjemmer of boiled
meat or fish, raw vegetables grated
or chopped, urleavened bread,
more sour milk and a lot of fresh
fruit.
In the afternoon she lies out in
the sun with scarcely anything on
and bakes vitality into her body.
She says the sun is q rejuvenator.
She shades her head and neck with
a small parasol. Then she sleeps,
still out of doors, and unless it
rains, right out in the sun on the
grass.
