Treatment of Skin Troubles.


LIQUID air and carbon dioxide have
been successfully employed in the
treatment of various skin troubles,
such as moles, pimples, superficial
cancer and tuberculosis assesses.
The temperature of the carbon is the
same as that of snow, and that Of the
liquid Is much lower, but the carbon
seems to answer all purposes just as
satisfactory as the other. The method
of treatment is as follows: Cotton
wool, wound tightly on the end of
rod, is dipped into the double-walled
glass flask of liquid air and then
pressed lightly on the affected part of
the skin. The skin freezes and be-
comes inflamed, and in from 10 to 20
days the morbid growth sloughs of.

A FOx's Strategy
From Harper's Weekly.

From hdrperS weekly.
 A Virginian who is fond of studying wild animals in their natural surround ingsz once had an opportunity of seeing for himself an example of the cunning for which the fox has become prover- bial.
 As the amateur naturalist was stand ing near the bank of river one win ter day he saw fox run out upon the ice and make straight for hole. At the edge of the opening he stopped, turned followed his tracks back to the bank ran down the stream and paused to await developments.
 In little while dog camc tearing out of tie woods with his nose close to the ice and snow. He ran along the ice with his head down, following the scent until he reached the opening. It was then too late to check his speed: {: he. plunged into the water and was lost under the ice.
 The fox meanwhile had waited in plain sight to watch the effect of his little trick. After the dog came into view tic fox remained perfectly mo- tionless until he saw his old enemy disappear. Then with a look on his face which seemed to combine a good natured grin with a mild contempt he went nonchanantly off about his bus mess. t

WHEAT PLAYS AN
 APRIL FOOL JOKE
Contrary to All Expecta- ti0ns Market Goes to
 Bottom Prices

Chicago, April Tn downright earnest the wheat pit was well fooled today. After a decisive buying furry, the mar ket contrary to general expectations slid to the bottom price for the year. Lack of support had left an opening for a sell ing drive which proved the hardest of the week.
 The closing figure showed but little re- covery and were 94@%@7s under last night. In corn there was a final loss of 1k@5s to ss and on oats F. Provisions at the end of the day had become less ex- pensive by shade to 15c.
 Wheat strength at the outset came chiefly from the covering of short lines upon which there was profits outstand- ing Another reason for the temporary firmness appeared in the smaller world shipment. Bullish construction was also given to the Oklahoma crop report. De- tails later, though, favored the bears by indications of a decided improvement in the 25 largest wheat counties of the State.
 Then, too, cash dwindled to the vanish ing point and the general weather situa- ton favored the advancement of growth with the one exception of western Kan sas, where conditions were precarious
 It was not, however, until several big holders began letting go of heavy lots that the market overturned completely Just at the last few minutes feeble rally set in and the tone as the traders left was called steady. For May the range was from 851sc to S61ac, with. ths close a down at S5asc.
 Better weather and prospects of lib- eral receipts made corn weak. The May option fluctuated between 46slc and 471ac 0475sc, closing at 46s4@467sc, net loss of 5sc. Cash grades were slow. No. yellow finished at 46@46s4c
 Few local owners cared to keep oats another week The bearish influence of other grain was too much, and the prices were the lowest for many years. Bot tom and top levels reached were 297sc and 3Ossc@301sc, with last sales 297sc, a fall of 1sc under last night.
 Plenty of hogs, weakness of grain and belief that local stocks would be of mo- ticeable size to the edge of provisions. Accordingly pork at the last gong was 1O0D1215 to 15c lower; lard down 712Q121ac. and ribs shade to 10c decline.
 E,ttura u,1otationS were as follows

COTTON NERVOUS
 AND IRREGULAR
Recent Sellers of July Op- ton Begin Active
 Buying

New York; April 1.-The cotton mar ket was very nervous and irregular to- day, the features being active buying by the brokers who have recently been the sellers of July and the relatively cas- fer ruling of May, both of which lur- nished distinct contrast to the devel- opments of the earlier week. The clese was steady net ? points lower to 5 points higher.
 The market opened steady at un- changed prices to decline Of polnts, for while the cables were better than due, there were a lot of overnight sell ing orders around the ring attracted by the weakness of the market late yester- day, and there was some further scatter ing liquidation owing to reports Of in- creased curtailment among the Fafi River mills and continued good weather advices. July contracts sold at 13.9Sc on the call, but at this level a promi- nent bull broker who has recently been heavy seller appeared as a large pur- chaser, and there also seemed to be a good demand for July.
 This soon checked the decline and the market rallied quite sharply during the middle of the morning, with May up to f4 .33c and July to 14.10c, or about to s points net higher. There appeared to be quite lot of May for sale, however, and that position subsequently, eased, meeting a good demand from the lead ing spot interests around 14.21c. At the close may showed a net los sof ' point while July and new crop months ruled from to points net higher
 The relatively firm showing of Liver pool was attributed by private cables to calling by mills and a bullish construc- tion of the weekend figures and while the selling of May was accompanied by rumors of an easier turn in the interior, and southern spot markets, nothing uei- mite developed in that connection.
 The failure of a large cotton house at Hamburg, Germany, had no apparent effect on the market.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today were BOTS bales, against 50l4 last week and 90S3 last year Today's receipts at New Orleans. 562, against 20S0 last year.

The Court Courtesy

EfOm M. A. r.
 Debutantes are already rehearsing for the forthcoming courts, and teachers Of department in luxurious West End salons are busiy engaged in putting pretty girls through their paces' for these all inn portant events
 The rehearsals are not so exacting IS in Queen Victoria's time. for the Georgian debutante will not have to face quite so formidable an ordeal. She will curtsey once to the King and once to the Queen and then retire as gracefully as possible to the supper room. However, even thH comparatively simple performance must be carried out to perfection. The mini mum cost of a debutante's outfit is e3o, but as a rule over G2O0 is expended, the heaviest items in the account being e105 for the gown and E30 for the cloak. An American bride has been known to spend as much as G1709 on her court outfit, the gown costing f150O.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April 1.--(SpeciaL) )-Liv- erpool opened lower but on buying from America closed steady at only l point decline This was better than expected, so we were surprised at the lower opening. However, the buying being better than usual, the market advanced some 10 points from the low est on July. No support was given to May, which was relatively weak. The idea was prevalent that it was not sup ported In order to prevent cotton from moving toward this market. A report was current that one interest bought some 40,000 to 50,000 July during the session.
 Good rains are reported from Gen. tral Texas. Liverpool should advance some f points on Monday.

An Unredeemed Paris Pledge

From the LOnuOH NIlODc.
 An incident not without pathos occurred toward the end of last week at a sale of unredeemed pledges at the Mont de Piete. There were sold by auction a child's drinking cup, plate, spoon and knife and fork Fifty-one years ago these souvenirs were deposited in the Paris municipal pawnshop. Every year since the interest has been paid regularly and the right of redemption secured but the family never seem to have possessed the necessary 15 or 20 francs to resume pos session. iHgftiNaY
 Evidently the poor people are either dead or have becorne more needy. Two years ago the interest ceased to be paid, but the department, to their credit, ab- stained from selling these flares and pen ates.'. Several letters were addressed at the last known residence and to other places where the pawners have lived, but they have come back marked 'Inconnu.' The sands of the glass have run out and the objects so careflly guarded for half a century have been sold.

Bluff Did Not Work

FIRM PRICES ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE
Amount of Trade Is Small. Only Moderate Gains
 Were Made

New York, April 1.-Prices held firm on the stock exchange with scattering moderate gains. The selling of yester- day was not continued today, traders having apparently completed their prep arations for the reconvening of the su- preme court on Monday. The amount Of trading was small. Almost the only movements of note were those in Cana dian Pacific, which bounded up once more after a period of depression caused by realizing, and National Biscuit, which added another points to its spectacular advance of recent days.
 Pennsylvania and New York Central held steady in spite of their February reports, which showed large losses in net earnings. Tn the case of New York Cen tral the decrease in operating income Of s1, ,766OO0 was due almost entirely to an increase of s1,629,0O0 in operating ex- penses, the loss in gross revenue having >been but $137,000. The reverse was true of Pennsylvania, which succeeded in de- creasing it's expenses by S242,0OO. Penn sylvania's gross returns fell off $1,S73, ,000, however, the net loss being 1881 900. The uecTeaSe III earnings or tneSe great SyS- tems for the first two months of the present year ran into imposing figures, being $3,642,00O in the case of New York Central and $3,7S90Oo for Pennsylvania. Instead of the large expansion in loans which was looked for by reason of April 1 disbursements, the weekly bank state ment reported an actual decrease of al- most $3000,000 in this item. The cash loss of $5,93o.00O was larger than all esti- mates, but is without material effect on the enormous reserves still held by the associated institutions. The 900 loan increase shown by the trust com- panies suggests that much of the week $ financing was undertaken by these in- stitutions.
 Exports of copper from this port dur ing March increased by nearly 3,500000 tons over the same month of last year. The home trade, however, is still quiet. The weekly trade reviews merely noted continuance of backward conditions.
 Central of Georgia income bonds were especially strong, the various issues gaining from l to points. Otherwise the bond market was steady. Total sales, par value, $1,106,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call on the week.

the cash. loss in the matter of reserve
 and as result the reserve on all de-
 posits fell $4,422,42 making the pres
 ent surplus $26,397,600. The statement of daily averages differed materially from the actual condition exhibit, the principal changes have been an in- crease of s1,653,000 in loans, a decrease of about one and a half millions in cash, and a very small shrinlxage in de- posits. The surplus on the average showing stood Saturday at $29 415, 300. The summary of the trust companies and outside institutions showed much larger changes than those of the clear ing house banks. loans having expand ed eleven and one-third millions, deposits nearly s12,000,O00, while cash decreased about one and a half mil lions. The statement of all the insti- tutions was undoubtedly affected to I greater or less extent by preparations for a disbursement although these will show in greater volume in the next forthcoming statement.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, April 1.-Cotton futures opened steady, unchanged to points down compared with yesterdays close Cables were about as expected and the weather map indicated rains in Texas and more seasonable temperatures ev- erywh ere in the cotton country. This stimulated selling on the first call but immediately after the market acted oversold and shorts who wanted to cover over Sunday found little for sale. Their bids caused prices to strengthen and at the end of the first half hour of business the trading months were Z to points over yesterdays final quo tations.
 The market was quiet but steady through ouc the session, although at any time was there any buying for long account of consequence; at all times the support came principally from cov- cring shorts. The forecast was for rain quite generally over the cotton belt and this was regarded as favor able feature but it caused no selling except among the strongest shorts. Al the highest of the morning the old crop months were to 8 points over yesterdays close. while the new crop months were 3 points over. The mar ket was very dull toward the close which was steady at q net advance of ? to points.
 Cotton futures closed steady at q net advance of ? to points
