Slow Eastern Demand; Horses Quiet.
Chicago, March 29.-Eastern buyers
were practically out of the market for
horses today and trading naturally
quieted down to a great extent How
ever, equine transactions the first few
days were sufficiently active to effect
a good clearance and few horses will
be left unsold when the trading for
the week Is brought to finish. Auction
was held until late in the afternoon,
putting the last touches to the weeks
market Demand has been mostly Of a
shipping character all week and was;
especially good on Tuesday, when this
class of buyers. took hold literally and
shipped good quota Of horses back
east.
Blemished horses are selling SIS
head less than last week, but there is
an excellent demand for young,
sound horses. Good prices are paid for
this grade. Receipts so far this week
total 2,456, as against 2,412 the first
four days last week and 1852 the cor

BIG RIVERS ARE
AT FLOOD STAGE
Ct eSBd tuoIH psnunuoD)

pected from the floods that are re-
ported to be coming from above and
below Des Moines. From 6 o'clock this
morning until IL O'Clock noon, rise
Of six inches was noticeable, bringing
the water up to the eleven foot mark
on the Market street bridge guage this
afternoon. This is one foot lower than
was reached when the ice gorge
formed at Cliffland, thus necessitating
q rise of from three to five feet more
before cellars will be endangered. The
water is again flowing over the banks
behind the Johnston Manufacturing Co.
on the south side. Ice from above is
coming down, although not in great
quantities. The gorges at Des Moines
and points below are not expected to
create any dangerous conditions here.
A big ice gorge has formed at Cory
don, fifteen miles north of Des
Moines and farmers are endeavoring
10 dislodge it by dynamiting. 1t
threatens to carry out the bridge,
against which it has formed. The low
lands in that vicinity are inundated.
The river at Des Moines has risen six
feet but is still below the dangerous
stage.
The river is still rising here this af-
terncon and is expected to climb up
ward for some time.

The Value of Spices.
By A PHYSICIAN.

Experiments that have been conducted
recently with view to determining the
preservative value OF various spices and
condiments seem to establish the fact
that certain spices have a marked pre-
sentative effect on foods.
Cinnamon, for instance, is found to be
a more powerful enemy Of ferments than
benzoic acid, and at the same time quite
harmless Other condiments that are
useful as preservatives are cloves and
mustard, with nutmeg and allspice eff
fective in somewhat less degree.
On the other hand such drastic condi-
ments as ginger, black pepper and cay
enne pepper do not hinder the growth
of germs.
Thus. ii appears that cinnamon, cloves,
mustard, nutmeg and allspice may be
used with good advantage in seasoning
foods, since they are not only palatable.
but also exert a good effect on the food
itself. Ginger and pepper, on the other
hand, may we'll be avoided, since they
do not exert any good effect on the food
and are irritating to the stomach

New ParasoIs.

II the very decorative possibilities of
the parasol have been overlooked of late
the warm weather of the last week made
the fact clear that a parasol adds the
last note of distinction to a dress. Every
one interested in dress comments upon
the varied designs Of this summers para
soils and upon the amusing way in which
each one agrees with the shape of the
hat that is worn.
When feathers tower above the crown
of the chapeau the parasol carried has
an obliging cupalo crown, and If the
millinery is of a spreading character
then when the parasol is opened 1t is
seen that 1t Is Japanese-like in its fiat
aspect.
Lace posed upon chiffon or yelled with
tulle is combination Of materials of
acknowledged elegance for the sunshade,
and It not infrequently happens that a
trail Of mousseline flowers is posed inside
the parasoi. perchance to coincide with
the trimming of the hat or with the
flowers that decorate the gown.
OF freak handles there are always a
certain number, and one of the auaintest
ID the cuckoo clock. Press & spring and
the doors OF the cuckoo clock fly open
and the cuckoo appears on the threshold.
He Is silent bird. for his trick begins
