didn't nave enough men. However, Friday mornings Bulletin had most of the lineup down as participants in a sleighride. This seems rather un- fair to the Jewett City management as Baltic was always treated right by them.
 In the absence of the first team game the Has Beens and Narragansett furnished the amusement. The Has Beens did not live up to their name as they pulled off the come-b back stuff and walloped the Narragansetts by a score of 25 to Il. This game has long been the talk of the fans and the betting was 2 to 1 on the Narragan- setts but with the fine team work of the old timers Melvin and Barry, and the shooting of E. LeClair, the oppo- nents were swept off their feet. As there was some feelings between the two teams and much boasting had been done the game proved to be more football than basketball but the fans say that the Come-Ba cl1s completely outclassed the opposing team and could defeat them at any time. The Nara gansetts have many excuses but as the old saying goes "a poor excuse is better than none"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS FIRM.
Trading Was Subject to Minor Re-
 versaIs During the Forenoon.

New York, Feb. 18.-Gradual but general recoveries from low levels of the early week were registered in. to- days dealings. Trading was dull and subject to minor reversals during tho forenoon, but the undertone was more confident and stable. Less attention was paid to international affairs and more consideration was given to such potent factors as excellent railway and industrial earnings. Continuance of the current high pressure of activity and expansion in general trade was again reflected in the heavy bank clearings.
 Coppers and other metals featured the operations to an unusual degree, Butte and Superior and American Zine records. Anaconda, Utah and Chino also registered gains of a point or more.
 Contrary to their usual course, war issues were mainly irregular, but came forward in the later dealings. The automobile group was under internit- tent pressure, likewise petroleums, American Woolen and some other ob- scure specia1ties, but sugars, United Fruit, Mercantile Marine and American Tobacco proved more than an offset.
 Traders for the long account were encouraged by the f1rmness of rails, that division, under Readings lead, making a fair response to moderate purchases. Canadian Pacific scored a further recovery from it's recent severe setback, and other Canadian issues moved in sympathy.
 United States Steel was only mod erately active, but strong in connec- tion with forecasts of record breaking earnings for the current quarter. An nouncement that the steel corporation had acquired from abroad approxi- mately $23,000,000 of it's first mortgage bonds for sinking fund purposes con- stituted another bullish factor for that stock. It is understood that the bonds were purchased out of the corpora tions enormous liquid assets. Best quotations of the day were made in the final hour, rails contrib | uting more generally to the stronger tone. Ftnal prices were a shade under maximums. Total sales amounted to 1 425,00O shares.
 Bonds responded to the improved | tone of stocks, although trading in that division was nominal. Total sales, par value, were S3,270,000. United States bonds were unchanged l on call

The British Museum,

In the early years of the British Mu- scum, whose treasures are to be lock ed up from the general public till after the war. the days of opening were fewer than now.

 claiming time was up, while the Elmer. aids timer claimed one and one-half minutes to play.
 Tn the first half the Taftville five showed the best form and closed with g. 20-7 lead. The locals came back strong in the second half, creeping up to 26-9s. According to the Emeralds version of the dispute, Murphy, a reg 1lar member of the Taftville lineup, who was on the side lines timing, call. ed the time and waved his men or the floor without consulting George Sheppaum, the timer for Willinantic, who claimed one and one-half min utes to play. The crowd was 1nd1g- nant and pushed onto the floor to see what the trouble was about. Referee Kelly had no way of deciding the mat ter and 1t up to the managers. They failed to agree and the Taftville team refusing to play longer, dressed dur ing discussion and left the hall The result is thus no game and the se- ries Is nuddled up at the start. What will be done in regard to next Tues days game in Taftville is as yet un- decided. The largest crowd of the season was present at Friday nights contest.
 The Taftville followers claimed that they received a raw deal and accord ing to their figuring the half started 20 minutes to the hour and finished 3 minutes of the hour. Two and one half minutes was taken out for tin9 and they played one and one-half min utes in an overtime period, thus play ing one and one-half minutes mc&2 than necessary.

Hot Cross Bread.

The old custom of marking a cross on bread accounted for its former use as a charm cure" in various ailments, particularly toothache, and also for belief in its power to propitiate the el- ements. Until quite recent time Greek sailors took to sea small Ioaves, known as St. Nicholas Bread, which they threw into the waves in time of storm. To this day the Russians seek to ap- pease the angry spirit of the White Sea by offerings of bread.
 Another survival of the old custom of making the sign of the cross to ward off malign influences is to be found in the housewife's device to make the fire draw by placing a poker across the bars of the grate. It is believed that by thus making the crcss' all evil spirits would be ban-i ished from the hearth and home. = London Chronicle.
