boomers over the news re ceired yesterday
(hat the Kickapoo country would proba
bly not be opened until next spring. The
prospective settlers had concluded that
hey woaldbeable to m.ike the run by
October, but it is reported that Thnrs
d y Commissioner Lamreaux, of the gen-
'I laud office, said in Washington:
"I doubt if the Kickapoo reservation
v. ill be opened before next spring."
It is said the commissioner explained
that the question Imd not been fully de
termined, and hence nothing could be an
nounced of an official character, but he
had the firm impression that the reserva
tion would not be opened to settlement
until congress be given a chance to net on
the bill fathered by McRae of Arkansas,
which provides for disposing of all public
lands to the highest bidder, It appears to
he the policy of the department to hold up
the opening of the reservation, and for so
xioinp offers, this as an excuse.
It is said at the Indian bureau that the
allotments have not been approved as yet.
It if also suggested that there is no appa
) t-nt cause for rushing the work. und. in

DAILY CARE OF CLOTHING.
J'ut These Ideas Into l'nictico and .aiocey j
- til je saTea ami ii,;iiurs, 5i".-urcti.
Not alone at the time of the semi- j
annual upheaval, known as house-
cleaning lime, should the clothing re
ceive special care: much advice is of
fered in regard to putting away the
bummer clothing in the fall, and the
proper methods of packing and caring
for the winter clothing during the sum
mer months; but still more important
is the daily care of the articles in con
stant use. In the average family cloth
ing deteriorates as much from the laek
of care as from the natural wear and
tear.
A dress or coat should never be hung
away with soiled spots on it, even for a
few days. It is much easier to remove
Iho spots as soon as they appear than
o wait until the they accumulate and,
as is often the case, collect dust and dirt
until it becomes almost impossible to
remove all traces of them. It will take
but a few moments to thoroughry brush
and shake a dress, or hang it for a lit
tle while in the open air in a windy
day. and you will be well repaid in its
bright, fresh appearance, even when it

is necessary to give it very constant
wear. The proverbial "stitch in time"
must ever "be kept in mind, of course;
all rips should be sewed with strong
thread, buttons replaced as soon as
they come off. and button holes re
worked when they become ragged.
All coats should be hung on the small
i wire frames which come for this pur
pose, or board frames made to fit the
bhoulders, and they will keep their
shape much better than when bung by
the loops in the neck or armholes.
Pants should be well brushed and hung
in a pants' stretcher or frame. Fold
them carefully, keeping the creases the
same as when first bought, and the'
are quickly slipped in the little frame,
and are thus kept looking fresh and
new every time they are worn.
Boots and shoes should be carefully
dried and oiled when they become wet,
and should always be smoothed out and
set in the proper position when taken
off, instead of being thrown down just
as it happens, to become unshapely;
and those not in use should be kept in a
bag or box out of the dust.
Buy only fast colors in stockings, and
before they are worn darn the heels
and toes, and if for children the knees
also, with silk or other strong thread,
the color of the stocking. If carefully
done the stitches will not show on the
right side, and- will add much to the
wear of the stocking. Darn all breaks
when small, and when they are washed
see that it is done carefully, and that
they are pulled into shape when damp.
Ilats and caps should be kept well
brushed, and those that are not in con
stant use kept in a box. Ribbons and
plumes and all trimmings on hats and
bonnets should be arranged in proper
Bhape before putting them into band
boxes. All laces, ribbons, gloves, etc,
should be folded as the' were when new,
and placed where they will be free
from light and dust.
All starch clothes will keep nice
much longer if they arc carefully
smoothed and folded when not iu use.
Small breaks in underclothing should
receive attention as soon as they ap
pear. ' Choose buttons with large eyes,
and sew them on with linen thread,
and it will seldom be necessary to re
place them as long as the garment
lasts. Knit underwear should be
rpatched with pieces of the old, saved

Yhcn dresses, coats, etc.. become
wet, hang them so that they will not
be drawn out of shape when dry.
Plumes, when wet. should be dried and
curled over a knife blade and shaken
over a hot stove. Clothing thus cared
for will last much longer, will fit well
until worn out, and. best of all, any
garment will be ready to put on at a
moment's notice, with the assurance
that everything has the fresh, new ap
pearance so desirable. Philadelphia

HAD ENOUGH OF SUBSTITUTES.
jUomornalo Bootblacklng and tho Hmbar
ruisment It C&od a Texas "Wooer.
Some gentlemen were discussing cur
rent topics in the lobby of the St.
George the other evening, when hopfen
weiss, tho new prohibition substitute
:f or beer, was drawn into the discussion,
says the Baltimore News. Some had
tried tho new drink and pronounced it
equal in point of flavor to the genuine
t-article, and various opinions were ex- j
cnangoa rotative to the right of persons
to sell it in local option communities.
"I am not competent to venture an
opinion upon that phase of the ques
tion," said ono of tho party, "but as a
rule tao man who monkeys with sub
Btltutes usually comes to grief in one
way or another. At any rate, tha.t is
my experienco, and I will give you a
case in point. In tho early days of.
Toxas, when few of tho modern con-
venienoes that we now enjoy were ob
tainable, I was living' in tlie country,
working' on a farm. A man named
Brown lived near my father's. Well,
one day I learned that a couple of
young' ladies were visiting- Sir. Brown
and family. Of course, now, I would
have to go over and eeo tho young
ladies. I bad a tolerable g-ood suit of
clothcsj but my shoes were consider

on schemes whereby I could improve
tho complexion of my shoes. Finally
nn itlerv struck mo and I smiled tri
umphantly as I congratulated myself
an my shrewdness. I would take some
soot from the chimney, use molasses as
a vehicle, as the druggists say, and
polish up my shoes with the compound.
The soot would certainly make tho
shoes black enough and the molasses
would hold it on. Capital idea. There

Chicago. Sept. 7. The public cables do
not often furnish a sensation, but today's
London dispatch to the board of trade
proved an exception. Two cargoes of Rus
sian barley were reported sold for ship,
uient to Xew York at a price equivalent to
about 4G cents fcr forty-eight pounds, duty
paid ex-vessel at the latterport. The Rus
sian invasion at Xew York was of much
advantage to the bears in the grain mar
ket. Corn dropped 2 cents per bushel for
September and October delivery, and
wheat brought from 58 cents for Decem
berdown to 57J cents, closing cent
lower than yesterday. September oats fin
ished lower and provisions closed practi
cally unchanged.
Wheat averaired strong during the fore
noon. It opened with an addition to yes
terday's closing price for December at
from 2 to cent per bushel, but had
some little difficulty in maintaining the
advance, owing to occasional lapses of the
corn market. Business wa3 heavier than
ou the day before, but it was f.ir from
reaching its usual autumn gait. Reports
here and in the northwsst gaTe no indica
tions of falling off, 214 car loads being all
that was reported here, 34S at Minneapolis
and 315 at Duluth. The reports of 093.000
bushels at the primary western markets
,-.,., r-i-SIl . I . l i nnnnnn t l. l
was still too close to the 1,000,000 bushel
mnrR to permit of much comfort to tho
buns from any falling off in
farmers' deliveries. A matter which
caused considerable disquietude to the
bulls in both wheat and corn was the re
ported sale of two loads of Rus.-ian barley
at Odessa for shipment to New Yorli.
Whether barley is being imported for
feeding purposes, or for malting, as
claimed by some, it will in any c:se set
free an equal quant'ty of American gram
for one or the other of these purposes, aud
thus the effect became more bearish the
longer it was discussed, and finally it
broke both corn and wheat. The oneniug
price of December was at 5S to 5S cents,
and after that th tendency was gen
erally downward. It did not suffer much
till about after two hours of the session
had passed, but it broke badly after that,
losiugall but about K cent of ye-terday's
advance, the closing quotation bsiug57
57 cents.
The corn market opened with a continu
ation f the buying which struck the
crowd yesterday afternoon, but in the
course of the sc-siou, the speculative wind
veered completely around and prices had a
faevere break. Sent ember corn sold early
at 5b and May opened at HG-i conts;
late, after the sensation of tue day had
worked itself well into the understanding
of the crowd here, and the outside people
to whom it was telegraphed, the
market broke badly. September broke
to 5C cent; October to 55J cents,
and May to oo cents, and there was but
little subsequent recovery. Some (f the
couutry holders realized profits ou the
opening bulge and the local croud of bulls
sold heavily. Closing prices were near the
bottom of the day's ranae at SSjJjj ceuts for
t-eptember, 567 cents for October aud 5Jji
54 cents for May.
For the iir.-t time in a long time, the
oats showed some independence. At the
start, prices wero steady to a
shade iirnier, but instead of go
ing still higher with the fluctuation in
corn, they gradually declined. There were
few buying orders and the outside points,
especially were prominent iu selling, con
sequently the decline. Opening Septem
ber at 30s cents sold to 301 cents and
weakened to thirty cents, closing at 'Xsyi
cents. Tho provision market was quiet,
but firm and did not take fright like the
graiu markets at the Russian invasion.
Receipts were 17,000 and only 10,000 are
looked for tomorrow. Prices for tho pro
ducts were rather inclined to advance, but
in the end closed without change, exct-pt
as regards January pork which is 6 cents

HOGS BRING SIX-SIXTY.
Chicago, Sept. 7. The cattle market to
day was changed in its general features.
Good grades ware in fair demand, and be
ing in small supply commauded good
prices. If none of the offerings sold as as
high a figure as was paid the day before,
it was because equally good cattle were
notoffered. 'J here were not more than 2,000
natives of all grade?, and only a handful
of that number graded better than
medium. Therefore the average of prices
was low. The range of quotations was
$1 256.00. Receipts of westerns were
estimated at :J,Cf00 head, and the range of
prices was 1.504.75. Texas cattle re
ceipts were estimated at 3.000 head and
sales oa a basis of ?1.2o3 23.
The hog market continued to strengthen
with the lightest Friday's supply recorded
within the last eight weeks, aud shippers
and packers both declined to buy freely.
Sellers had unmistakably the best.of the
situation. They asked higher prices and
got them, the day's trading being done at
an advance on yesterday's quotations of
10 cents per 100 "pounds. Heavy hogs sold
as high as $G GO which is 10 cents above the
price paid, yesterd ty and there were sales
of light weights at iO 25 Common lights
were not much more than steady aud 10
cents covers the advance in assorted light
and fair medium weights, j The great
strength was in good to prime heavy Clip
pers, receipts which continues very small.
Sles were reported irom $3 50g4.50 for
young Pics o G GO for prime heavy, the
hit t nr .i Oflfri; JO
bu!karo.902G.-!0.
Slowly but surely the sheep market is
mending. The three buyers who are in
posse3siou seem determined that prices
shall uot go' up. but a rise is inevitable.
For months pust the receipts have beeu
markedly less than at the corresponding
time last year, which should have insured
fair prices, but they have cuntiuued to
rauge from 75 cents to 1.50 per 100 pounds.
In the last month cattle values have ap
preciated from 00 cents to $1 25. and hoiis
moved up $1.25 to 51 50. But sheep are hut
slightly appreciably higher than they
wero at that time. What is needed in the
sheep market is a little competition. To-

THE NORSE MARINE PHANTOM.
A Vatmc Tradition of tbe nyinc Dutch
man In Northern Sea.
The old Norsemen had a curious and
vague tradition of a phantom ship,
which they called Mannifual. The
French maritime chronicler Jal gives
an account of her; so, likewise, does
Thorpe, in his work on "Northarn My
thology." She was so gigantic, says
Chambers' journal, that her masts
were taller than the highest moun
tains. The captain rode about oa
horseback delivering his orders. Sail
ors jroing aloft as boys came down re
cpoctable, middJe-atfed men, and in the
blocks about her rigging were dining
halls where they sustained life during-
their heavenward wandering.
When passing- through the Strait of
Dover on her way northward she stuck,
but the captain, with ready invention,
ordered her sides to be liberally bo
Nnearcd with soap, and she slipped
through, leaving the cliffs of France
and England white for ever after
ward. Down to within a century ago this
gigantic ship was known among En
glish sailors by the name cf the Merry
Dun of Dover, bnt she Fcexas quite to
have disappeared from tho maritime
lore of this country. Tho wanicn of
Normandy still believe in her exist
ence, and call her the Chasse Fronde.
They say that she is so immense that
ic takes her wren year to tack. Cm
one occasion, in turning, her bowsprit
swept away a whole battalion of sol
diers from the Dover cliffs, while her
stern boom was demolishing the forts
of Calais. When she roils, whales are
tossed high and dry by the swells.
Many extravagant particulars of this
colossal fabric are given by Jal; and in
Les Traditions Populairss' of Sebil

surdity. The Rorlc on Which Thry 5pllt.

Scored.
Xew Yoeit, Sept. 7. Speculation was
dull on the Stock Exchange today, except
in Distilling, Sugar, St. Paul aud Burling
ton and Quiucy, in which shares about
two-thirda of the business of the day was
done. There was trading in Atcuison also.
Loudon was in the market only as n
small seller of St. Paul and one or two of
the other arbitrage specialties. The stock
of the whisky trust was most actively
dealt in aud there was a revival of the un
favorable rumors recently circulated
against tLis company, which represent it
to be m serious difficulties. Denials
were made from semi-official sources, but
j whether or net there is foundation for any

I
the opinion is general that distilling is not
a sate investment by outsiders. The
clique which has beeu manipulating tho
tock during the past few weeks was the
moving influence therein today. Heavy
offerings iu the early dealings caused a
breik of per ceut., but before uoou a
recover of 18 per ceut had taken place.
In tho afteruuuu, there was a reaction of
per ceut , rally of per cent, and a
ihirtl loss of per cent., making u decline
on the day o i per Ctnt. Sugar was sold
during the moruing by the shorts
on the absence of supoorting orders, re
ceded 4 per cent, to 104j per ceut.
in the later trading, aud advanced to
1.05X per ceut with a reaction of per
cent at the clo?e, bringing the prices uuwn
to yesterdajs's clo-iug quotatiou. St. Paul
opened weak, aud on sales by Loudon
houses recede 5tj per ceut, but before noon
had recovered the entire loss. After und
dy the room traders sold the stock down
2s per ceut, the closing price belug within
j's per ceut of the lowest. Burlington aud
Quincy, ' after an opening loss of per
cent, rose a' percenL and then on sales,
largely creuitsd to Boston, broke 1S per
ceut, tho last being the lowest figure of
the day. Atchison was sold down per
cent before noon, when good buying was
met, based on a repot t that the next an
nual meeting will be held next mouth, nud
that a majority of the directors will be re
tired aud that their places will be filled
by prominent railroad financiers, an ad
vance of 2a to 1 per ceut resulted, of which
i per cent was lost in the flual dealings.

A SMART OCULIST.
Be
Acta ai Srlentlllc Detctlre aad Ex-
poKCB an Attempted Frund.
Hero is an interesting account of a
very clever bit of detootive work by an
oculist:
It appears that In a largo factory in
which were employed sevoral hundred
persons ono of tho workmen ha wield
ing his hummer carelessly allowed it
to slip from his hand. It flew half way
across the room and atrock a fellow
workman In tho left eyo. The man
averred that his sight was blinded by
the blow, although a careful examina
tion failed to revoal any injury, thore
being not a scratch visible. He brought
a suit in the court for compensation
for the loss of half of his eyesight, and
refused all offers of compromise, says
an English paper.
Under the low the owner of the fac
tory was responsible for an injury re
sulting from an accident of this and,
and although he believed that the man
was ahamnilng and tbat the whole case
was an attempt at swindling, be had j
about made np his mind that he would
be compelled to pay tho claim. The
day of th trial arrived, and in open
court an eminent oculist retained fcr
the defense examined tho lbged in
jured member and gave it aa hi opinion
that it wm a good as the right eye
Upon the plaintiffs loud protest of his
inability to see with hit left ey the
oculist proved him a perjurer and sat
lsned the coart and jury of the falsity
of his claim.
And how do you suppose he did It?
Why, simply by knowing that the
colors green and red combined auVe
block. He procured a bbvak car on
which a fw wnrda wer -Britten with
green ink- Titen the plfcimiil teas or
dered to put on a pair of spectacle
with lro different gla, the on for
the right eye being red and. tho on for
the left eye coadrting of ordinary

and he was ordered to read the writing
on H. Thla he 612. arlthoat het,tJoa,

MOOD5T.
Being Unfair
to One's Self and Oro'i
friends.
Moods may be either foy ous or melan
choly, but we are apt to think of them
as the latter, because the joyous mood
inflicts no sting upon its possessor, and
detracts nothing from the happiness of
friends and kindred. Very much to be
pitied are those people who are called
moody. They are invariably 'social
wet blankets: nor can they help this,
for there is no uplift in moodiness. To
the moody person the blue sky is ob
scured, the cloud of the moment is a
fog which blots out light and hope, the
raw wind is from the east, and cuts
like a knife.
In home life the presence of one who
is a victim to moods is a -real calamity.
The children feel like culprits: their
perfectly-innocent mirth is repressed:
they speak under breath. Conversa
tion languishes, aud laughter is extin
guished. Around the moody person,
whether father, mother or sister, there
seems to hang a thin but evident veil
of gloom, which no sallies of wit or soft
persuasions of affection can penetrate.
One by one the family seek escape from
an influence so distressing.
Moodiness carried to its last extreme
becomes insanity, of which it is often a
a premonitory symptom. As a rule, it
has its root in some physical derange
ment; the spleen, or the liver, or the
stomach is responsible for iL
When the digestive organs are work
ing harmoniously with the rest of the I
body, and the physical functions are in
order, people are seldom moody. God
temper and good spirits depend largely
on good health.
Sometimes, the moody person is bur
dened financially, is carrying, so to
speak, too much sail, is obliged to un
dertake more than his income justifies.
The remedy here is obvious. Get rid
of the needless load. Live as common
sense and honesty dictate, within the
wise limits of the daily earnings. If
the spending is in excess of the earning
there is reason for mental uneasiness;
if the b'.ilance is on the right side, the
result, as Mr. Micawber tersley stated
it in his famous rcsume-of a similar
case, is bliss.
Moodiness often lias neither the
apology of a good reason nor the excuse
of a bad one to offer. It is simply a
synonyme for selfishness, deserving the
condemnation of conscience. To be
driven by one's moods is fair neither to
one's self nor to one's friends. Har

MARRYING IN GERMANY.
Union Itctweon Kinsfolk Prevail to a
Great ill tent.
Matrimony in Germany is a singular
institution. There arc so many restric
tions, such a complement of formalities
to be submitted to that marriage is
rather unpopular than otherwise. The
prevailing idea is to keep money in the
family, and to attain this end the peo
ple, so sensible and level-headed in
many respects, are willing to go any
lengths. A man may even have for his
wife his cousin, his aunt, his step
mother and his sister-in-law com
bined he doesn't care so long as
he has a hold on the money. The
number of marriages among first
cousins is countless, and the results
nppailing. How many idiots there are
in'the fatherland I should not like to
say. So that he may keep the money
in his family it is quite a common oc
currence for an uncle to marry his
niece; and a man will somotlmes wed
his brother's widow. In Bavaria it in
legal for a boy to marry at fourteen
and a girl at twelve.
A soldier may not become a benedict
until he has reached the age of thirty
a most unpopular condition, and ono
which causes very disagreeable coo
sequences. I heard of a ca&e of a man
who married his first cousin. He had
four children, one of whom became a
leper and two of them idiots. Three
committed suicide, tlie fourth married
her fifth cousin and had an idiot child
In another family the result of an in
termarriage between cousins was two
imbecile out of three children; all three
died young. In one district numbers
of people with dreadfully swollen necks
may be met. In the valleys of the Alps
Jkme of tho most deformed idiots ou
earth ara to be found. They arc Cre
tins, and live by begging, tho hidcous
ness of their looks bringing them in a
good deal of money from the charita
bly disposed. And yet these poor crea
tures intermarry and spread tho
bcourgc. The marriage knot does not
reqn ire any great effort In breaking it
in Germany. Chronic mutual disliko
and incompatibility of temper are suf-
flcient reabons for divorce. Pittsburgh i
