It would not be a bad idea for Hammond girls to institute a boycott such as Kokomo has: Kokomo is on the eve of a social war, declared cer tain prominent young ladies. Girls of certain sets have complained among themselves that the young men of their acquaintance had not been giving them desired attention, frequently going to other cities to spend Sunday. These young women without any bluster about the mathave determined to institute a boycott upon the offending young men who have sought to call when they failed to have a date at some other city. The girls have been dropping the Kokomo boys whenever the opporhas presented itself, and as a result strange faces from Peru, Logansport, Tipton and other points have appeared in Kokomo, and dapyoung men in swell attire have done the gallant toward Kokomo's most eligible maidens. What was first intended as a lesson failed of effect and a permanent boycott is the determination. The girls assert that experience has taught them that Kokomo young men are decidedly cheap, and that they would rather go out with the boys than show deference to a young woman. Some of the young men who are on the retired list take the matter lightly and say it is easier for them to secure an out-of-town girl than it is for a Kokomo girl to secure an outside beau, The girls retaliate by saying that they know what they are about and that the list of prospective callers is not only large but very promising of future results in a mr.trimonial way. They are tired, they declare, of makfudge for boys' who never "say anything," and who balk at an atat the theatre or a buggy ride. MARRIAGE LICENSES. Gus.

FINANCE AND TRADE

(Special Stock Service to the Lake County Times). NEW YORK LETTER. New York, July 21.--Higher for eign markets, brilliant crop prospects and indications of a very favorable bank statement today started the stock market off firm and higher with Reading, Union Pacific and St. Paul prominent for their activity and strength, St. Paul touching 179 on this swing, the highest level it has reached in three motnths, Union Pacific scored another point advance from yesterday's closing price selling up to 147 1/4. The buying of these three stocks has been very aggressin the last week and not only for short account, but for outside specuand bull operators who are of the opinion that this bumper crop of wheat, corn and oats, will undoubtenhance the value of Union PaSt. Paul, Atchison, Missouri PaNorthern Pacific and Great Northern, as they are all grain carroads and the prospects for increased dividends on some of them are very flattering. The bank statewas the best that has been isthis year, but its effect on the market was of little consequence as the majority of traders have not taken time to digest its contents.

Chicago, July 21.--WHEAT--For-cables were quoted one quarter lower this morning. Weather in the northwest more favorable. Lack of confirmation of the rust stories cirThursday and Friday started wheat off weak and bear operators finding little support to the market offered it down, resulting in a net decline of about one cent per bushel. The northwestern traders were again conspicuous sellers of September on every rally and their operations were on a larger scale than at any time since the decline started. The market closed soft without any ral-

lying power in evidence. CORN--Followed the wheat marclosely, declining over a cent a

bushel on libtral offerings from the ountry and lack of cash demand. Wheat condition favorable for growing crop and short interest eli-OATS--Again weak and lower, the ctive futures losing a cent a bushel, news on the crop was of a very bearcharacter and elevator houses were large sellers of both July and tember on every firm spot. Marat about the low figures of ket the session with a decidedly weak undertone. PROVISIONS--Not much trade. Packers inclined to sell a little pork and buy lard, but entirely featureHogs at the yards unchanged from yesterday. GUIMARD, THE SPIDER. The Great Dancer of the Great Days of the Ballet. The elder Vestris, who flourished in the middle of the eighteenth century, called himself the "god of dancing" and declared in all sincerity and withrebuke that his country had probut three supreme men--himself, Frederick the Great and Voltaire. On one occasion when reproving his son Augustus for refusing to dance before the king of Sweden at the request of the king of France he said that he would not tolerate any misunderstanding between the houses of Vestris and Bourbon, which had lived hitherto upon the most friendly terms. Madeleine Guimard made her debut when she was thirteen years of age anil for nearly thirty years kept all Paris worshiping at her feet. This was a success of art and not of beauty, for Guimard was so aggressively thin that she was known as "the spider." She discovered the great painter David, who helped Fragonard to adorn her bouse with frescoes. Indeed, Fragofor whose paintings today fabusums have been paid, lost his combecause he dared to fall in love with his patron. Guimard had a theater in her own house, and her enthere were deemed exin an age of luxury. Paris could not spare her to London until she was past her fortieth year. She was a sort of boudoir adviser to Marie Anand so great was the esteem in which she was held that one of the most distinguished sculptors of the day molded her foot, and when her arm was broken in a stage accident a mass for her speedy recovery was celeat Notre Dame.--Macmillan's Magazine. THE BLACK BASS. A Marine Butcher That Kills for the Pleasure of Slaughter. The bass is like a roaring lion going about seeking whom he may devour. I have seen a good sized specimen get into a school of minnows and eat and stuff until he could not get any more into his capacious insides, then go off by himself, throw up what he had eaten and begin over again, after which he would keep on killing the poor inminnows, apparently for the mere pleasure of killing. Very young bass will attack minute water life which flourishes on water plants and get away with every one in sight, adopting the same method as their eldTo illustrate the extent of the cannibalism of the black bass here is the experience of a superintendent of one of the flsh hatcheries in Pennsyl"The superintendent made an actual count of 20,000 young bass about an inch long and placed them in a fry pond by themselves. He gave them food six times a day, and, according to his statement, each fish ate on an averthree times its own weight of the prepared food every twenty-four hours. They were placed in a pand on the 1st of July, and on Oct. 1, when they were taken out, there were only 11.000, and the record showed that less than 200 died from sickness. It is reato suppose, therefore, that in addition to the food given them by the superintendent there were about 9,000 bass devoured by their stronger and more fortunate companions."--W. E. Meehan in Field and Stream. Caring For the Teeth. Without good teeth there cannot be thorough mastication. Without thormastication there cannot be perdigestion, and consequently poor health results; hence the paramount importance of sound teeth. Clean teeth do not decay. The teeth should not be brushed from side to side. If this is done the points of the gums will be injured and the teeth loosened. The upteeth should be brushed from the top downward (from the gums to the ends of the teeth), the lower teeth from the bottom upward, also from the gums to the extremity of the teeth. It Is es sential to wash the teeth at night and wise to wash them also in the mornRinse the mouth after each meal. Swiss Enterprise. There is a weekly journal published at Zurich. Switzerland, called the EnCouples' Advertiser, which has agents at work all over Switzerland ascertaining the name of every girl who is engaged to be married and that of her prospective husband. These names are printed in the paper, with the addresses of the sweethearts and a description of their social position. Soon after the announcement of her engagement a girl finds herself almost in a position to start a shop, so numerare the samples she receives from firms anxious to sell their goods to her. We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; now tet us commit it to life.--Markham.
