charged or partially discharged condi-
ton that the acid attacks the plates
and causes the noises that are often
mistaken for static. Always keep the
electrolyte solution about one-eighth

the mates.

We never thought we would find its superior from the pen of e con- temporary, and we did not until last year someone permitted us to read what we consider the most beauti- fully written little volume we ever remember having read. It is Madam Margot" and is from the extremely faciIe pen of John Ben nett, author of that delightful child hood, "Master Skylark." Madam Margot" is a gorgeously colored story of old Charleston, a story as touching and charming as the very southland of which it is the essence. It is the soft breath of a southern Whisper-wind and a wistful por- trayal of the olden Creole days. The story is itself a dream, a legendary fancy and we doubt very much If anyone, living or dead, gould have told it in quite the manner of John Bennett. It is no longer than "Messer Marco Polo" rather more beautiful, and we strongly urge that all who can obtain 1t. It is a rare treasure, especially rare in these simon Called Peter" and Three Weeks" days.
 And then came Dom Byrne again. This time he presented for our ap- proval Blind Raftery," better than "Messer Marco Polo" but still lack ing somewhat the bewildering beau ty rhythm and coloring of Madam Margot." But we liked "Blind Rar- tery,' and immensely. We have al- ready read it several times, and each time like it the better. It is the story of blind Irish poet and minA strol and his wanderings up and down the "ould sod" Rarely. in- deed, has volume been better done.

BALTIMORE, July IL Especial
The demand for live poultry has eaSed
off to some extent during the past
week, and coupled with more liberal
receipts the market rules fairly easy
and values a shade lower. Demand
for Spring chickens Is centered on
large, fat stock, two pounds and over.
which sells at 3S cents a pound, with
medium bringing 33 to 81 and small
and poor, 80 to 80. Large Leghorns
and Minorcas sell % to 80. medium,
90 to 81, and small. % and "a. Most
of the shipments of Leghorns have
been of small to medium size. and
this stock will not bring top values,
but at the same time has a tendency
to lower the values of other stock.
Shipment of small, poor, underSiZed
chickens are not advisable, as they
are not wanted. and hard to move
even at sharp discounts. Demand
for large, fat, old hens continues
good. and market holds steady at 26
to 29, while small and poor and leg
horns sell mostly 81 and %. Large
young ducks of desirable weight and
conditioR meet with ready sale at %
to 25, but small and poor stock are
slow sale at 20. Some demand noted
for old ducks at Is to 20, but It takes
fat stock to bring top prices Pigeons

pair for both young and old.
The local egg market has ruled
steady the past week, although quiet
and demand for native and nearby
stock fair at full quotations only
when eggs show quality and are not
held. Western eggs continue to show
better quality than the nearby stock
and are bringing a premium of a cent
dozen over quotations. Consider
able complaint is heard about quality
of most arrivals from nearby points.
and this has curtailed trading on the
exchange. Careful grading and prompt
shipments are necessary If shippers
would realize best results. The mar
ket closed today at 80 cents a dozen
for native and nearby firsts In free
cases, an advance of half cent a dozen
over opening prices Monday.
Receipt of new potatoes have been
more liberal the past week. and as
consequence the market has a lower
tendency, with demand centered on
well graded round stock, which brings
top values of $50 to 500 a barrel and
200 to 2.25 for No. 2 stock. CulIs are
not wanted and hard to move at LIS
