ged-Water Bailed Out.

There was a decided chillincss YES
terday and this morning IN the railroad
station. In view Of the fact that there
was no fire in the boiler there was
ample reason for this condition Of tenn
perature. The pit in the cellar in
which steam heating apparatus is locat-
was Hooded yesterday and this morn
ing and the fire was quenched Four
men We're engaged this morning in
baihng out the water and when that
task was finished it was possible to
start up the ire and persuade steam
70 once more bang its way through the
pipes. Meantime prospective passen-
gers found IL Just as comfortable out
side the station as inside.
The flood of water in the cellar was
due to the fact that the numerous i'm
provements in the yard had plugged
mp the drain pipes that have carried
surface water from the roadbed to the
river. aud the water did the next best
thing in getting away from the tracks
and flowed into the cellar, There Is

EASY DISHES.

Food that can be prepared at short
notice, and simple menus for a quick
meal the recipes for which should be
close at hand,
One of the most enjoyable soups
may be made in a short time if a can
of tomatoes, q little milk and season
ings are to be had. One reason why
many women lose their heads in an
emergency is the idea that they have
no background to begin on Have
a list of dishes for quick meal, with
ingredients printed in two columns,
so that q quick glance will tell you
ii you have all the materials.
This is the time of year when we
are making our plum buildings, and
fruit cake, our mince meat and little
cakes which are improved by age. II
one has a simple suet pudding which
may be easily steamed in a hurry
over the teakettle in a sieve, sauce
is prepared and your dessert is ready
Woe to the housewife who does not
keep many cans of tomatoes on hand
for all kinds of dishes. These, if put
up by oneself, cost half as much as
those you buy. A dish Of hot. Well
seasoned tomatoes poured over but
tered toast and sprinkled with cheese
will make a quick and most tasty
luncheon or supper dish.
Milk toast is another easy to make
supper or luncheon dish. Add cheese
| to the white sauce just before serving,
and that makes a change. A little
cold ham chopped and added to the
| white sauce is an acceptable change.
Some cooks who are good planners
/ have the pepper and salt mixed to-
! gether in a shaker where it is in
/ reach of the hand. This saves at least
two movements of the arm. Where
powdered sugar and cinnamon are
used for coffee cake, a flour dredge
may be kept stocked with the mix
ture. When preparing pastry, mix W
enough for several pies; do not wet
the flour, but take out the amount
needed, and put the rest in COO
/ place until wanted.
Have bread crumbs ready in a jar
have new spice and powder cans
opened, so that there will be no need
less waste when in the rush of pre-
pairing quick meal
Fish is one of the quick foods tha-
may be ready to serve in half al

Q. How is it that a railroad can sell
its notes when it can not sell its bonds as
see the Seaboard intends doing now?
z. NJ
A The notes bear more interest. The
railroads are willing to pay this greater
interest in order to get immediate use
of the money, but the notes are a short
term investment usually three to five
years. Before the end of that time, the
Seaboard, for example, expects to be able
to sell its bonds, which will give it need

Cheaply.

estate conservatively valued at twice that
amount. Bonds then are issued, secured
by these mortga ges, which in turn are
secured by the real estate If the bonds
are for $780, it is the same as If 5000

COTTON GOES UP
Spot interests Absorb Heavy
Sales of Wall Street and
Ring Crowd.

NEW YORK. March 2S-Infiuenced by
better cables than due, the cotton mar
ket here opened barely steady with first
prices at a net gain of l to points over
yesterdays close. Holders of March con-
tracts sold which resulted in the option
receding points within the first Is min
utes of trading. March and May, how
ever, were under active demand and
quickly rallied 3 points over the opening.
Better weather conditions generally en-
couraged the bears
Liverpool was reported a good buyer in
this market at the outset, which brought
out wave of good buying from the
larger spot houses.
Wall Street and the ring crowd were
good sellers during the forenoon, but Of
ferings were readily absorbed by Liver
pool and brokers who usually represent
the larger spot interests.
Rumors that the Balkan war is near
an end, coupled with clearing weather
and reports from Texas that the cold
weather and rains have done little or
no damage to crop preparations, were
used as market arguments.
Sentiment continues Of a bearish char
acter and the average bears express the
belief that the aggressive buying during
the past few days is from big spot houses.
During the afternoon session the mar
ket was steady, with prices about points
over the opening, except March option,
which was 4 points lower.
During the last hour of trading a pre-
cipltant short covering movement pre-
vailed, resulting In March jumping to
l2.4s, May 1905 and July 11.S9. At the
close the market was firm with prices
showing a net gain of to IA points from

Prices on corn for the immediate future

almost void.
