DESTROYING DUST. New York Post. The modern housewife has learned that fea.Lh.er dusters and other flirting brooms and brushes merely scatter the dust and germs in her house, instead of removing them. She is now being told by scien tists tho.t to shake her rugs and carpets, beat her drapery, etc., in the tiny yard ol her city home is undesirable. The <lust flies in nearby windows, her own, perhaps, and is again disseminated. The idea of housekeeping today is to destroy dust. Carpet sweepers, covered dust pans and cloths are the implements to be I made use of, and the dust thus gathered lid be burned, or, in the case of cloths, washed out. Back of this care, however, should come a wise choice of household belongings. Simplicity .should be the fundamental law of their selec tion. Have the things needed for com fort and use in simple, easlly-cared-for designs; for pure decoration, only a few very satisfying things. Gewgaws, as a rule, are useless, and may be dispensed with.

IB EMljfl Hi WITH THE COLLAPSES OF THE WAR RELIEF LOOKED FOR IX LONDON LOCAL SITUATION IS SOUND Stock Market, Thoush Dull, Shows Good Restating? Powers—Money Market Continues Unfa vorable for a Rise. NEW YORK, June $.—Henry Clews, In his weekly financial review, says: The collapse of the Boer war, even more suddenly than generally anticipated, im parted a stronger tone to the stock mar ket; especially in London where the strain was chiefly felt. The relief there must have important consequences, finan cially >as well as politically; for the stop page of gold supplies from Africa and the heavy drain of the war upon the British treasury naturally caused more or less financial derangement, which became more burdensome as it progressed. The supply of gold from South Africa will soon be resumed, possibly with greatc-r 'freedom than before; thus lessening tne inducement for taking gold from the Unit ed States. These additions of gold, to gether with what may be received from the Alaskan gold fieids during the coming summer months, will prove a decided tonic to the financial .-situation, and ren der le.ss difficult some of the problems which European financiers are obliged to face. As one war closes the shadow of another looms up in the distance; the present disturbances in China showing with what intense Jealousy the several powers are watching events in that part of the world. As yet, however, there id no prospect of .serious international diffi culties; and it is worthy of note that wars and rumors of wars have far less effect upon the securities markets than former ly; our war with Spain and England's war in South Africa having. It will be re membered, astonishingly small influence upon values. This has been largely be caus-e these wars were brief and carried on in parts of the world where, in spite of the suffering caused, the disturbance to industry and commerce was relatively small. The local .situation is sound; and, while the "boom" must now be considered a matter of history, there is nothing dis couraging In the future. The day of ab normal profits is over, and was not ex •! to continue. Possibly some duil tnay ba experienced until trade Bet ties into more normal conditions, but this will bf only temporary. Merchandise have already receded considerably lrom higrh water mark, and they cannot decline nrych further without bringing in ;l new sei of ordi rs which have been held back for just such an opportunity. It is this "held-back" business upon which we can i onfidently predicate a continuance 01 business activity under more stab'e tions than existed six months ago. <'r<-'!ii has not been unduly expanded; 'ion is not yet in sight; con fidence in the future prevails everywhere, ; and there is no risible check to new enter- The trust mania is over. i has Bot been pushed to the o impoj tant factor in our Is the wonderful increase In '■■■ rican. manufac tures, which is- bound to continue and play an important part in our foreign trade returns, as well as an unlimited out!

The most striking feature of the boerst, last week was the sharp rise in Prussian consols qnd imperial 3s, the former : 1.55 and the latter 1.70. This is ex plaiiled by the reinvestment of money ! from the sale of industrials by English ; purchasers and by tho expected improve- i maot in the international money situation as the result of the speedy expected end of the war. In connection with this it is pointed out that German financial cir cles are discussing- the issue of three per cents upon the American market, this b? ing considered practical In consequence Of the great abundance of capital here. The week's boerse showed upa and downs in industrials. Irons and coal- i ers advanced sharply, but weakened la- ; ter, the markets closing dull. Transac- ' tions were few. The montly settlement was accom- j panied by the failure of several small '• firms and there was some compulsory j closing out of engagements.
