NOTES OF THE MARKET,

[ine potatoes that are changing bands in

Cha: !ottetown bring from 22 to 25 cents per shel. Bat owing to the drop in the pri f tubers in Boston the buvers are chary about paying tnat price. The prise in N-wfoundiand 1s also said to have fallew. In some sections of Nova Scotia pots! es retail at a good figure, and in

crriau parts of that province they are said to be very scarce. Shippers will therefore be able to dispose of some of their ~cock in the sister province where the duty does sot eat up the profit.

die oat market abroad is reported steady, and in Charlottetown the price is 25 cents.

The buyers are paying 12c for what eggs are weoving. All the best ben-frui goes tothe Britith market where it bringe seven shillings a long hundred.

Tiere is not very much doing in dead pork just now. The Messrs Rattenbury are

ying 6 cents a pound for dead pork and Sasa for live. But they prefer to buy it alive.

There is not much doing in cheese in Montreal. The price ranges from 8} to Sic. Tne Star says it looks as if 8} cents was to be the ruling price. There is a decline in the price of eggs, choice select- ed selling at from 15 Ww 16 cents per dozen.

At Watertown sales of cheese were made on Saturday at 84c to 8jc, and at Ogdens~ bur, 8jc wae bidto no result. Of the situation in New York city, the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin says: “The market has cleaned up pretty closely of all the desirable large full cream cheese, and with very few fresh lo:s mic Jay prices are merely nominal, though tone fairly firm, on the baee of 9c for tavcy September made. Sma'l sizes full cream only mod-rately active today, but f ney grades held steadily at 9}c to 94 thouzh the outside figure is difficult to reach except for Western New York flats.

Of che situation in Liverpool Messrs. Hodg-on Bros., in their circular of the 9th inst., write: “The enquiry continues limited and quotations are ashade easier on the week. We qnote: today: Finest color d and white Canadian August cheese, 45s to 468; finest States, 45»; riper qual- ities from 40s to 44s; mediums and low grades from 203 to 35s per cwt.” Rega ding the butter market the same circular says: “There is no alteration to advise since our last report. Market ie quiet. We quote Finest American and Cana‘'an Creamery, in tubs and boxes. #8+ 1 930; lower qualities, 548 to 68s; finest Danish, 88¢ to 1088; Iri#h creamery, 90s to 98; Cork firsts, 862; se20nds, 78s; thire«. 758 per cwt.” .

In Montreal oats bring from 26} to 264c

The insurgents num bered 15,000 mer: half ofthem are dead. Their avowed object is to destroy existing government in Southern China. The government is greatly alarmed, but has no adequate means of suppressing the insurrection.

A Passion For Buttons.

Louis XI’, the “grand monarque,” had a positive passion for buttons. -In 1655, when his craze was at its highest, he spent no less than $600,000 in this strange form of indulgence. Among the items of which this expenditure was made up are the following: Aug. 1, 1685, two diamond buttons, value 67,866 francs; 75 diamond buttons, value 586,703 franca. On the buttons for a single vest he spent $200,000. Of the 354 ‘‘boutoniers’’ used 163 con- tained five diamonds each. It is estimated that during his lifetime this foolish mon- arch spent no less than $5,000,000 on but- tons aloze.

On Hell Roaring creek, 40 miles east of Perry, O. T., there is a settlement of a re- ligious sect who call themselves Home’s people. They oppose doctors and will not allow medicine to be given to their sick under any circumstances. Further, they will not allow water on their persons, but anoint themselves with oil once a week.

Anomaious as it may seem, a Kentucky ron has become the patentee of a water ter.

Bird Artists,

That there is a consciousness of beauty on the part of birds is plainly shown by the manner in which many of them deco- rate their nests and surroundings, and in some instances themselves, notes a writer in Lippincott’s Magazine. Perhaps it may not be too much to claim that all birds are moved by an artistic sentiment, and that, while most of them are artistic in effect, many are artistic in both intention and

effect. The appreciation of what is beau- tiful isa distinstly marked characteristic of most members of the feathered family, i it is only natural that the desire and ability to create beauty are found in vari- ous degrees of development among them. It is only a step from desire of beauty to

an effort to produce if, but the effort aad accomplishment occasionally bring about strange results in birds as well as in man.

Striking examples of this bizarre form of decoration are found in the motmot, which disfigures its long tail feathers in an effort at improvement, and in the hammerhead and gardener bird, which de- light in surrounding their homes with all sorts of bright colored shells, pebbles and feathers,

Sometimes theexhibition of artistic feel- ing is carried so far as to confound belief. Were it not for the corroborative testimony of scientific travelers, we might well doubt the tales that come to us of the baya of farther India, of the gardener bird, the collar bird and the half dozen other birds whose strangely developed decorative in- stinctscommand our admiration and won- der.

Why She Floundered.

It was after the Monocacy got outof the drydock at Nagasaki, writes Charles D. Almy in the Chicago Times-Herald, that she was bearing General Foote, the newly appointed and first American minister to Korea, Mrs. Foote and the minister’s family to Janchuan, the seaport of Seoul, the capital of Korea. Sie was midway between the Japanese islands and the Ko- rean peninsula. It was a perfectly calm day, with a sea as smooth as a mirror. General and Mrs. Foote were on the hurri- cane deck, where the awning made life worth living. The man at the wheel won- dered what was the matter. The needle on the compass was bobbing from N.N.E. to W.S.E.% E. The officer of the deck looked at the compass in the chartroom, and it was vacillating between K. % E. and W. 4 N. In ten minutes the Menoc- acy was headed for Spitzbergen, Swatow, Cape Town, San Francisco and Lima, and she hadn’t gore ten fathoms. Men were ordered here and there from the starboard forward coal bunker to the booby hatch to look for the cause of the Monocacy’s latest antic. Finally the lookout in the foretop reported something floating two points off the lee bow. Before his voive could reach the officer of the deck the ting object was dead astern and abouta mile as the sextant would figure. After waddling like a duck around that shiny sea for two hours the Monocacy got in. hailing dis- tance of the floating object. It was her rudder.

The Crack Stepper.

The peculiar manner tn which a well dressed gentleman walked down Chestnut street a few evenings ago attracted atten- tion. Some of his steps were of ordinary length, while others were very short and others still very long. A stalwart police- man explained the peculiarity. ‘‘That man,’’ said he, ‘‘is a crack stepper—that fe, he is superstitious and is trying to avoid stepping on a crack between the filagstones forming the sidewalk. There are dozens of persons who believe that to step on a crack is a sign that they will meet with bad luck. They soon get into the habit of regulating their steps so ags»to avoid the cracks, and they are unconscious of the peculiarity of their movements. L kpow one man who walks on the asphalt near the curb to avoid the necessity of ekipping along like a boy trying to play hop scotch. ‘The day he was told of the superstition he lost $10,000 in a specula- tion. Next day he walked on the asphalt and got it all back.’’—Philadelphia Press.

The young married couple who are crown- ed with good health are really a king and queen. They are possessed of an armor that enables them to withstand all the hardships and misfortunes of life. Accidents aside they will live long, happy lives of mutua he!pfulness, and they will be blessed with amiable, healthy children. They will sit together in the twilight of old age and look

back without regret over a mutually happy, ‘helpful, useful, successful companionship.

There are thousands of young couples every day who start pedded life with but one drawback,—one or the other, or both, suffer from ill-health. There can be no true wedded happiness that is overshadowed by the black cloud of physical suffering. The man who contemplates matrimony, and re- alizes that through overwork or worry or neglect, he is suffering from ,ill - health, should take the proper steps to remedy it before he assumes the responsibilities of a husband. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery is the best of all medicines for men who have neglected their health. It makes the appetite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver active, and the blood pure and rich with life-giving elements. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It invigor- ates and gives virility, strength and vigor.

No woman should wed while she suffers from weakness and disease in a womanly way. These are the most disastrous of dis- ordeys from which a woman can snffer. They break down her general health. The unfit her for wifehood and motherhood. They make her a weak. sickly, nervous in- valid. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures all weakness and disease of the deli- cate and important organs that bear the bur- dens of wifehood and motherhood. It transforms weak, suffering, fretful invalids into healthy, happy wives and mothers. Both’ medicines are seld at all good med- icine stores.

THANKSGIVING AS AN ART. An Accomplishment In Which Our Mothe- ers Excelled the Girls of Today.

In an article entitled ‘‘An Old Time Accomplishment,’’ in The Woman's Home Companion, Edward L. Pell says: ‘*The girl who has cultivated the spirit of thank- fulness does not gush over at the gift of a daisy end snap an indifferent ‘Thanks!’ at the man who has lost a day from the office to gratify her littl whim. Of course those mothers of ours had their whims and exercised the priceless privileges of thoughtlessness and snapping now and then as girls, and other than girls, have always done, but I think it cannot be de- nied that the girl of a generation ago had econscience on the subject of debts of grat- ftude such as few have had since her day.

‘‘T have said that I am afraid that with many of us today it is a ldést art. Iam sure that it is not given that prominence which it once had, and that it is not culti- vated with the enthusiasm with which it once was. Girls are taught what etiquette says about it, but etiquette deals only from the lips outward, and the result is thas even our language tells the story of the de- cadence of thanksgiving. A traveler from Mars might hear our ‘Thanks!’ a million timesand never suspect that it was meant as an acknowledgment ofa favor. I am sure that up to, say, a dozen years ago, in those parts of our country where gallantry has held out longest, one could not give up a seat in & car without being sure of a fuil return in an acknowledgment that meant to acknowledge something, and that today the average man is utterly up- set and undone when his ears catch the old sweet sound.

Of course this does not justify or ac- count.for the current lack of gallantry among men, but Iam not engaged in the hopeless task of restoring men to the old paths, but in the hopeful one of pointing out a neglected talent which the most charming of girls may cultivate with good results. Iam not grumbling. I do not mean to say that the girl of the period is one whit behind the gir] of the past. I do noé believe in the decadence of women. I believe that the girl of today is equal to the girl her mother used to be, but I do not believe that it is enough to say of our girls that they are equal to the girls of the past any more than it is enough %o say of a flower that has had the best uttention of the best florists for a generation that it is as beautiful today as it was 30 years ago. If we have done wisely, the girl of today ought to have not only something which her mother lacked, but she ought to have all ber mother’s graces as well. But it is a serious question whether, in pressing her development, we hare not cultivated some qualities at the expense of others, just as in pressing the development of a certain flower we have’ creased its size and beau- ty at the expense of its fragrance."’
