Efficiently Married

In the June Womans Home Compan- ion is an article entitled How I Made a Good Husband of My Son" in which the writer lays down some rules for q course of domestic training for bache- lors. who are thinking of being mar ried.
 Besides heating the house." he says. ia man should have a thorough theoret- ical, and a simple practical, Knowledge of plumbing. so he can be beyond the mercy of an ignorant or dishonest plumber. The upkeep of all the furni- ture is your province you should be able to replace a castor automatically, or in your sleep put on the pull of a bureau drawer.
 "Of course he will not call in paint CT when floors or woodwork need paint ing or man to replace panes of glass or put up shelves. or any of the small CT tinkering around the house, any more than his wife should hire a wAom- an to darn the stockings or do the small mending.
 "One of his most important duties is to see that each window and door is properly screened. He should keep all the shades in proper order and see that the windows work easily and smoothly, also keep the locks of all doors in per feet order. He should have a general knowledge of building materials, so he will be able to advise his carpenter. Naturally, too. he will keep. the knives in proper condition, and no young man should wait until he is married to learn how to carve"

PRICES FLUCTUATE
 0N COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady Net Unchanged to Two
 Points Higher

New York. May 29.-The cotton market
 was very quiet today and prices fluc-
 tuated within a range of 10 points. To-
 morrow will be a holiday here, while
 Liverpool and New Orleans will remain
 open for business as usual. and trading
 here was considered chiefly in the way
 of evening up scattering accounts. Oc-
 tober contracts sold at 12.S3c early, but
 rallied to 12sSc and closed al 12.9Oc, with
 the general list closing steady, net un-
 changed to ? points higher.
 No less than six private crop reports
 were issued during the day, ranging
 from TIA to S2.1 as to condition, and giv-
 ing estimates of the acreage which
 ranged from an increase of 7.S to an in crease of 105 per cent as compared with
 last year. The average of the six private
 condition figures was 79.9 per cent, com pairing with the official 10-year average of 79.S per cent, while the average of the acreage reports showed an increase of just about g per cent as compared with last year.
 These figures failed to stimulate busi- ness, while the favorable weather re- pOTleu III tHe SOutn dlSu SeeiHcu tO po without any particular influence, and after opening at decline of 5 to 8 points, the market steadied on Liverpool buying and covering for over the holiday. Liv- erpool futures were hardly up to expec- tations, based on the New York close of Saturday, while political advices failed i to strengthen the peace rumors circu- | Ia ting toward the end of last week. This probably accounted for scattering liqui- dation and some local selling on the | opening decline which carried July con- | tracts off to 12.71c and December to 13c. 1 Otherwise there was very little pressure, however, while Liverpool was a good buyer here to undo straddles and prices ! soon became frmer. July sold up to +. soc and December to 13.1Oc during the middle of the afternoon, or about 2 to 4 points
 net higher. The slight closing reactions were attributed to realizing. Liverpool
 reported a larger spot business, and ex- ports for the day were heavier, but very | small spots sales were reported in the southern markets. Continued full exports are expected for the balance of the | month.

Coffee Market

New York, May 29.-The market for coffee futures was steadier today. After rather heavy liquidation of last week, offerings were light and prices improved or, scattered covering or a little trade buying, which may have been encouraged by reports that the coming Santos crop was estimated at 9500,O0O to 9,750OO0 bags. The market opened at an advance of 3 to points, September contracts sold up to 869c and December to SS2c during the afternoon, with the market closing at a net advance of to 12 points. Sales 27,500. Closing bids: June SAG; July s.56c August, S.62c; September, S.69c; Oc- tober, S7Sc: November, S.77c December, S.s1c; January. S,s6c; February, s.9.c; March, S.96c; April, sole.

WEATHER REPORTS
 LOWERS WHEAT
Declines on Liberal Supply of Commission Houses
 With Orders to Sell

Chicago, May 29.-Breaking the drouth in Kansas and Oklahoma resulted today in lower prices for wheat. The market closed unsettled, but asc to 1Aalasc down, with July at $1.077sc and September at s1.OS7s@1.O9 Corn gained 15@1s4c, oats finished A@1c off, and provisions at losses ranging from 71aqS5c.
 Fresh rainfalls that gave moisture where most needed in the southwest left the wheat bulls without any immediate argument to uphold beliefs in high val ues. AS a consequence, commission houses were literally supplied with or ders to sell out holdings, and it was ap- parent that speculative bears had no in tention to delay putting out good sized lines before prices showed too much de- cline. Buyers, however, were scarce until the market had broken about 11ac a bushe. After that the shorts, taking into view the holiday tomorrow, evinced a disposition to even up trades.
 Increasing stocks at Liverpool counted to a material exent at times against the bulls in wheat, and so also did the fact that world shipments greatly exceeded the total which had been looked for. bGSlQ6Sy lut OHll6O otdlcS NlStDle supply decrease was small and the stock in Chi cago was substantially larger than was the case either a week or year ago.
 Assertions that much replanting would be necessary in Illinois, Iowa and Me- braska lifted the corn market. Moreover, the cold, wet weather was accompanied by complaints that no replanting could be done until after several dry holidays. Oats weakened in price on account of generally favorable conditions for growth of the new crop. Declines were checked only in part by the strength of corn.
 What appeared to be packers cam paign for lower quotations on hogs, se- verely weakened provisions, especially pork. Numerous holdings that were bought on account of recent peace ru- mors had to be sacrificed under the au- tomatic operation of standing orders to stop losses.

A New Anaesthetic

From the Albany Journal.
 Gordon Edwards. a chemist in the city of New York, is credited with the discovery of new anaesthetfc, to which he has given the name "nikal- gin" It is declared to have certain ad- vantages over other anesthetics when used to deaden pain in the treatment of flesh wounds
 MT. Edwards says of it that the relief from pain which it gives in exposed surfaces is as nearly absolute as the effect of any drug can be. Anesthesia is produced just as completely whether the wound be merely an abrasion or . muti1ation Only when wounds are well advanced toward the healing stage and the nerve ends are covered with film of new skin. nikalgin is not ef- fective But on all fresh wounds of ferine an exposed raw surface, the new anesthetic will completely suspend all sensation and suffering, however ex- tensive the wound may be. and sensa- tion will remain suspended for about three hours.
 Seemingly. the discovery is an im- portant and valuable one. The vaca- tion war relief fund has already or dered 2OO0 tubes of nikalgin.

CANADIAN TROOPS
 !. TRICK THE GERMANS
Enemy Had Tapped the Tele- phone Wire-Lured on
 With Fake Orders

London. May 2O-(special)-How the Canadians have once more done the Huns in" across the channel is told by officers returning on leave. The Cam adans have long been top dog in their conflict with the Germans and it is said that in the trenches opposite the men from North America there are twice as many sentries as elsewhere along the line, for the Canadians are forever think ing of some new thrill for their enemies.
 Not long ago, so the story goes, the Canadians discovered that the Germans had, in some way wholly unexplained. tapped a Canadian trench telephone wire. A connection had been made which led to the German trenches. Thus the Ger mans were able to hear all of the or- ders passing of the telephone in that vi- cinity. There was a good deal of con- sternation when the testing of the line showed that it had been tapped and tha first impulse was to cut the German wire A Canadian colonel, however had better notion. He took the matter up With headquarters and laid a. deep plot to profit by the circumstance. AS certain point the Canadians had
 
 trenches. It's explosion was deferred. Then the Canadians arranged a fake set of orders. With the Germans rlis- tenlng in' orders were issued for an at- | tack. The Germans did not know, of course, that their trick had been discov- cred The orders were that the attack should be made on the very point under which there was a Canadian mine, Tho Germans didn't know about the mine, either. Profiting by the information ob- | tained over the telephone wire the Ger mans, in turn, planned a surprise for their aggressors. They literally packed men In the trenches where the supposed attack would take place, two deep thsy were, waiting for the Canadians e come on.
 When time had been given for the Germans to make ample preparations foe effectual resistance the Canadians ex- l ploded their mine and then made a smaIt attack. Scores of Germans were killed. ana It isn't likely that the Germans wilt ever again believe anything they hear | over telephone.

.STAGNANT SESSION
 !. OF STOCK EXCHANGE
Prominent War Issues Firm to Strong With Mexicans
 and Metals Strong

New York, May 29.-Todays excess sive stagnant session of the stock ex- change bore the familiar ante-holiday aspect, with an irregular mixture of gains and losses, the former predomi- hating at the close. Dealings were light est and most contracted of any day for many weeks, the output of the noon hour barely aggregating 2O,00O shares, with a total of only 265,OOO for the day.
 Reading and Lehigh Valley, both at substantial advances over last weeks final quotations, featured the rails, with belated strength in other coalers and some of the grain carriers. Great North ern preferred and Northern Pacific were only slightly and temporarily affected by the death of their guiding spirit, re- covering with other representative stocks in the general covering move ment of the final hour
 United States Steel and other stan { dard shares were listless most of the time, bIt rose briskly with various specialties at the end Movements in other quarters of the list were seeming ly speculative. The motors attracted some attention, with further advances in Willys-Overland and C., ners mo- . tors, the latter making new maximum 1 on it's advance of 41s to 106R in con nection with the increased dividend.
 Among the more prominent war issr :, the locomotives and allied equipments were firm to strong, together with United States Industrial Alcohol, Con tinental Can and American coal prod ucts, Mexicans and the metals were backward, with further selling of lead- ing coppers.
 Western railway centers reported heavy gains in freight movements. with higher prices for various commodities. The Norfolk and Western road reported a net gain for April of $733,000 with s5S4o00 for Erie and $372,000 for Illi- nois Central
 The strength and activity of Anglo French and Canadian bond issues was regarded by Wall street as having some relation to President Wilson's recent peace address. Total sales of bonds, par value amounted to $3,430,00.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. May 29.-Cables were not quite so good this morning, private ad- vices stating that the better weather was causing some hesitation in that market Here considerable quantity of Julys and Octobers were liquidated on the opening. causing a slight decline, after which the market settled to a very quiet affair, as tomorrow is holiday and the government report will be issued on Thursday, so that there is little desire to do much until these are out of the way.
 A number of private estimates were is- sued, ranging from about 79 to S2 per cent. The trade generally expect a con- dition of 30, with crop increase of about 10 per cent. Meantime the weather is ideal over the south for the growing crop. We lcolI for little change in values until the report is made. President Will sons speech on Saturday was a decided disappointment, as it did not give any indications of any desire on the part of the belligerents to make peace at the present time.
