for the industries are found in the

business is both "a factory and a home

per day. The dying and bleaching
are done by men, who receive sli to

STANLEY AND THE DOGS.

From time immemorial caricaturists have made use of the common Ob- servation that there is in certain huan types a decided resemblance to familiar animals. says Harper's Week ly. A notable example was that of Louis Napoleon whose breeding, aqui- line countenance was readily converted into a bird of prey; sometimes the French eagle, but oftener and more strikingly a vulture preying upon France.
 The dignified and venerable Charles Darwin accepted an observation of this sort as applied to himself and with humorous perception of it's coin cidence with his fatorite theories. while the resemblance between the countenance of Paul Kruger and that of an exceedingly sagacious gorilla was more than once remarked.
 An amusing discovery of unhuman likeness was related by a friend of the late Sir Henry NJ. Stanley When Stan ley visited the Karaguas, an African tribe rather above the average in intel ligence, he had with him a fine bull dog whose pugnacious cOuntenance possessed all the unlovely characteris- ties of the breed.
 Now it appears that the Karaguas gave much attention to this beast. and their chief, before parting with the white men, ingenuously pointed out an old fact that he had observed The Karagua men, flat-faced. snub-nosed. and thick-lipped. looked. he thought. much like the English dog: while the half-wild Karagua dogs, clean-cut, keen eyed, and long-nosed. looked much more than their masters did. like the Englishmen.
 Whether Stanley, who had every right to think well of his own personal appearance. relished this comparison or not he could not do otherwise than take 1t in good part, and he had sense of humor enough to pass it on for the amusement of others after he got home

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, June 13.-The state Of idleness into which the stock market fell today proved to the advantage of values, the withdrawal of orders being apparently from the selling side of the market.
 The evidence thus afforded of q sub sidence in the pressure of liquidation with which last week closed. warned the bears not to press their operations. Accordingly. after preliminary test under which prices yielded only mod erately, they bought to cover short contracts. The reports of the borrow ing of large amounts of stocks led to the suppOsitiOn that the short interest was becoming unwieldly and the mar ket would be oversOld.
 London prices for Americans were at advances over Saturday, but the opening market here ignored that at first and London was accredited with little part in the days strength. other foreign centers were affected by the poor condition of the American cop per trade and depressed copper min ing stocks.
 Amalgamated. however. in a mo-
  eral upward movement. There was a substantial absorption at the same time Steel, in spite of reports on the market, for finished steel products was beginning to show signs of the same kind of over supply that has weighed upon the iron market.
 From railroad officials throughout the country came intimations that some checks had been felt on account of the controversy over the rates be tween the railroads and the govern ment.
 A cau was said to have been made on the underwriters of the $43.OOO.OOO Santa Fe convertible bonds for pay ment of p per cent of their subscrip- tiOns, the inference being that stock holders had not availed themselves of their privilege of subscription to these bonds.
 Other money markets report that speculation in its objectionable forms has been effectively checked.

COLOR OF DIFFERENT BREEDS
 IN DAY-OLD CHICKS.

From somewhat lengthy and learned article in Farm Poultry on the color of little chicks in the different classes and breeds we condense the following points of distinction;
 The young of white breeds when matched are usually yellow. canary cOlorcd all over. but sometimes chick ems of white variety that was made from a colored variety have some col or in the down. This is most notice able in little White Plymouth Rocks, which are often gray.
 Young Barred Plymouth Rocks are sort of marble gray. darkest on the back. and usually much darker in the bullets than in the cOckerels. This difference in color of the little chicks is SD regular that the sexes can often be separated at that time according to color without making many mis- takes.
 The young Light Brahmas and other varieties which are white with black markings. are sometimes pale yellow all over. but often have a little black spot on top of the head. and occasion ally a larger amount of gray on the back.
 The young nf Brown LeghOrns. Partridge Cochins and Wyandottes, and all varieties in which the adult female is brown and the male black and red. are brown with broad stripes

traffic and at the same time be within nifty. This is being done through the use of the asphalum oil binder.
 The material used for binder varies very largely with different sections In England and France the tars are used very largely. In the western portion of the United States the heavy asphal- tic oils of California are used eX- clusively, while in other sections we find that tars. residuum oils. liquid asphalts, and various proprietary com pounds are being used.
 One of the chief causes of the great number of failures which have been recorded in the use of bituminous road materials is the failure of the user. as well as the manufacturer, to understand certain fundamental prin- ciples. To many. tar is simply a tar and oil an oil. while in realty there is q vast difference sometimes even in the asphaltum produced at the same works. The oils also range from those Of a paraffine base to those almost wholly asphaltic Thus a concise knowledge of the character of the pro- duct, the process followed in it's pre- paration and the effect which varying conditions wilyl have upon it is neces- sary in order to avoid costly mistakes.

 Dividends.
 If parents will give just a little in telligent thought to the feeding of their children the difference in the health of the little folks will pay, many times over, for the small trouble.
 A mother writes saying: "Our chil- dren are all so much better and strong CT than they ever were before we made a change in the, character of the food. We have quit using potatoes three times a day with coffee and so much meat
 Now we give the little folks some fruit, either fresh, stewed. or canned. some Grape Nuts with cream, occa- sionally some soft boiled eggs, and some Postum for breakfast and supper. Then for dinner they have some meat and vegetables.
 Tt would be hard to realize the change in the children. they have grown so sturdy and strong. and we attribute this change to the food ele- ments that, I understand, eXisit in Grape-Nuts and Postum.
 "A short time ago my baby was teething and had a great deal of stomach and bowel trouble. Nothing seemed to agree with him until I tried Grape Nuts softened and mixed with rich milk and he improved rapidly and got sturdy and well.''

England. and the United States have been directed toward providing a stone surfaced road with q binder more powerful than the rock dust. For the purpose of presenting intelli- gently the experiments thus far con ducted with special binders, the term dust preVentiVes" has been applied to all of the various binders having for their object either the suppression or the prevention of dust These may be divided into two classes, temporary and permanent. The temporary bin ders serve merely as palliatives and require frequent renewal: the per manent binders, so called, enter into the structure of the road as d cOnsti- tuent element and are either incor- pOratad with the other materials at the time of the construction or applied later by a surface treatment
 In the class of temporary binders may be included water, salt solutions. light oils, and tars, and oil and tar emulsiOns, while the permanent bin ders include the petroleums contain ing an asphaltic base. the residues of such petrOleums, the heavy tars, and asphalt preparations.
 Water while usually the most abun- dant and cheapest material, because of the frequency with which it must be applied, the most expensive to use. Its binding power is almost entirely due to capillarity. The value of the sal: solutions commonly used lies in the hygroscopic character of the dissolved salt. which, having considerable affi- nifty for water keeps the road surface in a moist condition long after a sur face treated with water alone would have become dry through evaporation. The light oils and tars, as well as the oil and tar emulsions, are dependant for their effect upon the retention by the road surface of a comparatively small amount of true binding base the volatile products have evaporated. This base proves effective only as long as it retains its binding power. When the binding power is destroyed, it is necessary to apply more material. If the base is an exceptionally good one. the accumulated products finally hard en the road surface and prevent wear to some extent.
 
 the lighter products in that they con- tain q greater amount of asphaltum, which constitutes the binding base. The results are, therefore, of a more lasting character and hence the name permanent binders.
 The usual method of applying these materials to the road surface is by sprinking In California where the heavy asphaltum oils have been used in road construction for number of years, a machine has been perfected and is coming into general use in which the hot oil is applied to the road surface as a spray under high pressure.
 These machines are almost identical with the machine used throughout France to apply hot tar These so- called "Oil spraying machines and tar sprayers" are not only very eco nonical in the use of the binder ma terial. but insure q more even distrib- ution and better penetration of the road surface than is possible to obtain in any other way.
 In the construction of dustless roads the crucial question is that of cost, as pavements are too costly for country roads and most resident streets. The effort has been to develop a form of construction which will withstand the
