This column's James shows symptoms cf matrimony. He has asked the price of coal and Is beginning to sare money by having his collars done at home. Now, speaking with the dispassionateness of a parent, if I were James I wouldn't.

Were nnmarriedmen plenty, as they were In this column's time, of course it would be different. You have only to read the pages of Mr. Nelson Page to be sure of that.

The departmental committee of the British Local Government Board, appointed In July, 1S99, to investigate the use of preservatives and coloring matters iu food products, has just issued its report of 500 pages. The use of boric acid is shown to be very general as a preservative in butter, cream, ham and potted meats. In the case of the flesh foods the committee considers that there is no sufficient reason for Interfering with the use of boron preservatives, but that the quantity used for butter or margarine should not exceed 0.5 per and should be accompanied by a notification of its presence and amount. Salicylic acid or its salts was found In 320 of the products examined, temperance drinks forming nearly half of this total.

Formalin was detected in 20 samples, of which 13 were milk and cream. The committee recommends that formalin be absolutely prohibited and that salicylic acid be not used in greater proportion than one grain to a pint in liqrid food or one grain to the pound in solid food. Further recommendations are that no preservative or coloring matter be added to milk or to any food intended for the use of infants or invalids. Bluestone should not be allowed in pickles or canned peas, to give them color. Bid, 31.

Anatole France's new dramatic work, VLes Noces Corlnthiennes," one of the recent Paris premieres, Is considered the pearl among the charming idyls and poems of the author. The poet embodiea the daring of a Bollenu with the delicate grace of Alfred de Musset.

Without the faintest hint of Shakespearean imitation, the dramatist "has placed in contrast the adherents of flowery paganism and the sunrise of Christianity. The four chief figures of the poem are Kallista.a Corinthian matron converted to Christianity; Ilermas, her husband; Daphne, her daughter, and Hippias, the pagan navigator, to whom she has been espoused. Daphne has embraced her mother's faith; but Kallista. of atrabilious health and puritanism, vows that Daphne shall join the ranks of the Christian virgins. The latter sorrowfully and heroically submits, bnt at that moment Hippias returns and Daphne sees that her heart belongs to him rather than to the mystical spouse.

In this portion of the "work the dialogue takes the form of a loving effort, to praise each form of civilization to the detriment of the other. Daphne yields, and, faithful to her first pledge, asks Hippiasto celebrate their nuptials among the sepulchres of her ancestors. In horror because of her sacrilege, she takes poison, and when the Bishop Theognis comes to release her from her vow it is too late. Echesaray's "Galeotto." The German company playing at St. George's Hall were quite successful in introducing a Spanish tragedy, Echegaray's "El Gran Galeotto," on the London stage.

The slander which forms the motive of the play grows out of the fact that Ernesto, a young author, shares the home of his fa president of the Merchants' National Bank, thiB city. In entering the Delaware bay the Thomas found the big sea tug Tama-qua disabled with wire hawser in her wheel and towed her to Philadelphia. Captain Fronrart Exonerated. Captain Froggart, of the British steamer Knight Companion, from Portland, for Hong Kong, has been exonerated from blame for the stranding of that vessel at Inuboye, on the coast of Japan, February 4, as before reported, on the ground that the charts were faulty. The cargo of the Knight Companion is valued at 100,000.

Captain Froggart was formerly on the Knight Commander, trading between Baltimore and London. Two Launches Today. If tide permits the BaltiAore Marine Railway, Boiler and Machine Company will launch the fishing steamer William S. Brusstar from Atlantic wharf, off Boston street, at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The vessel is being built for the Snow-Fallon Guano Company, of Heathville, Va.

About the same time Charles Rhode Son will launch a large scow for Russell Burns, to be used In their brick business. The scow is 75 feet long, 22 feet beam and QY2 feet deep. Ice Still Dangerous. Ice remains troublesome In the river below Fort Carroll, extending to Sandy Point. The iceboats were on hand to relieve any vessel needing their services.

Large craft could be towed through by powerful tugs, but the Oriole, with three oyster boats, was warned back by the iceboat Annapolis and returned to port. The schooner Helen W. Martin left in tow of the tug Neptune and got through the barrier. Today the schooner Marie Palmer, which has been in Curtis bay over six weeks awaiting a cargo of coal, will sail in tow of one of the large tugs of 'the Consolidation Coal Company. Fort Paragraphs.

For some time the Engineering Record has been collecting information concerning a new type of pavement. This is particularly interesting because the principles on which it is based are diametrically opposite to those of asphalt pavements aud tar macadam.

In the present asphalt or tar pavement the bituminous cement is used to support fine mineral grains, such as sand, which In themselves have no firmness to sustain trafiic. the fine mineral grains being held or supported by the bituminous cement, so that the mastic will, at all atmospheric temperatures, sustain the weight tratfie, and at the same time resist abrasion. The bituminous macadam is built on the principle that, independent of the bituminous tement. relatively coarse aud fine mineral grains should be combined in such a way as to have a firmness in themselves to sustain the weight of traffic. The bituminous cement is supported or held in place by the proper arrangement of stone particles as to size.

The patient was semi-conscious and the left pleura was found filled with blood, which greatly embarrassed respiration. The wound was situated in the wall of the left ventricle quite far back. The flow of blood was constant and the wound was not probed, but the knife penetrated the ventricular cavity. The wound was closed with two interrupted silk sutures. During the 14 hours between the receipt of the in-jary and the -patient's admission to the hospital no means were taken to prevent infection of the wound, and empyema followed the operation and necessitated a second operation for the purpose of drainage.

T. 4s 99 Curious Test In Germany Of The Effect Of Fatigue On Soldiers. The current number of Nature calls attention to an important Investigation Into the physical effects on soldiers of route marching. Needless to say the experiments -were undertaken in Germany, one of the authors being Professor Zuntz, of Berlin, the other pr. Schumberg, of Hannover, an authority on" military medical subjects, for it is the habit of that country to submit questions to experimental tests in the hands of competent investigators, instead of making use of red tape or the rough-and-ready process of sacrificing a few lives.

The voluminous description of these experiments has been carefully summarized, and we gather that their aim was to ascertain the effect produced by marching under conditions more or less severe on the various organs and functions of the body. Five members of the Kaiser Wilhelm Academle, the cadet school, for medical students designed for, service in that department of the army, volunteered for the experiments. During the three months from May to July they marched at -frequent intervals a distance of about fifteen and a half miles without altering the route or the pace. Usually they started at 7 o'clock, occasionally at 5 in the morning; halting once for ten minutes aud another time half an hour for breakfast, and they wore the usual service uniform and accouterments--in fact, the only material alteration in the conditions was in the amount of weight carried. At first this was light; then the knapsacks were loaded up to 48 and progressively to 68 pounds.

Then they sought to ascertain continuing a sot of experiments already undertaken by a German War Office commission the limit of weight which a soldier could carry without interfering with his capacity for effective fighting at the end of a day's march. Several of the results ascertained would be intelligible only to experts, but the more Important can be readily understood. Some proved that the character of the food becomes a very important matter when heavy marching is undertaken, for then, as a result of respiratory changes, the consumption of carbohydrates is greater than the ordinary rations can supply, which leaves the fat of the body as the only energy-producing material. So, if men are to be kept in good condition, one day of rest should follow three of heavy marching, to enable the body to make up for the loss in feeding on itself. The effect of the experiments on the excretory process was healthful, and the nervous system appears to have been undisturbed.

The general condition of the men improved; they got rid of superfluous fat, and so lost weight, the amount ranging from three to nearly eight pounds. 1 The most important and significant effects were those connected with the heart. Its action was noted In the usual was by the sphygmograph and the curve produced was found to vary in form with the amount of weight carried. When that was considerable, then the heart's action evidently became abnormal, and, besides the significant change in the shape of the curve the pulse increased to 140, or even 150 beats a minute. The investigators attribute these effects to fatigue in the cardiac muscle, and conclude from them that 68 pounds is the heaviest weight which can be carried without risk of doing permanent damage to the heart.

They also ascertained that the right side of the heart became somewhat dilated, leading to a stagnation in the venous circulation. This was noticed in only about half the observations when the light weight was carried, but it Increased to fully 87 per cent, with the heaviest one. Thus the well-known disordered action of the heart which is a frequent consequence of military training, aud the cause of a considerable amount of Invaliding in the British Army, is explained. A summary of these investigations put In plain English should find a place in official handbooks for the army. We may be sure that they will not be pigeonholed in the German War Office.

The dying man now believes in his wife's and his friend's guilt, and in the closing scene he curses Jbem with his last breath, while Ernesto, who is now really the lady's lover, turns upon the slanderers, scornfully admits that they have triumphed, but appeals to Heaven to judge between the innocent and the guilty. The Coronation March.

The Musicians' Company, which last summer offered the freedom of the livery and S250 for the best coronation march written and received before the end of the year, the adjudicators being Sir Frederick Bridge. Sir Hubert Parry and Sir Walter Parratt, from the 1S9 submitted selected one written by Mr. Percy Godfrey, music master of the King's School, Canterbury. He was born in Derbyshire about 40 years ago and studied music privately under Prof. Ebenezer Prout, of Dublin University.

Among his previous works are aale-voice glee, which gained the South London Music Club's prize in 18S2. a pianoforte quintet, which won a recent competition; the valuable Lesly Alexander prize, two cantatas and an overture. Mr. Godfrey is an associate of the Royal College of Music and a bachelor of music of Durham University. Opera At London.

Among the singers engaged for the next opera season in London are Calvg, Nordica, Melba, Eames. Van Dyck, Reiss, Saleza, Bispham, Plancon, Van Rooy, Scotti. In the matter of conductors London will be more fortunate than New York, for it will have Maucinelli for the Italian and Lohse for the Wagner operas. There will be special cycles of Wagner operas, with new scenery, early in the season. Of the 20 operas in the repertory eight are to be sung in German, eight In Italian and four in French.

M. Messager will remain artistic manager. It is believed that the Royal family will be frequent visitors to the opera, all the dress boxes have been subscribed for already and the demand for other seats is unprecedented. The whole of the comfortable but cumbersome old stalls have been cleared away and will be replaced by tip-up seats, with plenty of room for late-comers to pass. A scheme has also been submitted for better warming and ventilating the house.

Philharmonic Jubilees. At Laibach. the ancient Emona of the Romans, capital of the Duchy of Carnlola. Austria, the Philharmonie Society of that city, the oldest German musical corporation in the empire of Francis Joseph, will celebrate its-' two hundredth anniversary in May next by a three days' festival. A Methusalem among its namesakes, the Laibach Philharmonic can boast of Haydn and Beethoven as honorary members of the society.

In its archives are an autograph letter of the greater master and his copy of "The Pastoral" symphony. At London on February 27 the ninetieth season of the Philharmonic Society will begin. The first concert opens with Beethoven's overture "Corlolanus" and continues with two "Tone Pictures" from Mr. W. H.

Bell's "Mother Carey." These pieces have not yet been heard in public and are therefore awaited with mucn interest, for, while some would say that the young musician has not yet sown all his wild oats, there can be no question that Mr. Bell has great original powers. Following the "Tone Pictures" come Ilenselt's pianoforte concerto In minor, played by Mr. Sauor. and Tschaikowsky's "Pathetic" symphony, which was first plaj'ed In England by the Philharmonic Orchestra.

Tob. 4s 6 The Digestion Of Plants. Certain plants, of which the sundew ami the Venus" flytrap are examples, capture ir sects for food and digest them. The leaf which captures the prey throws out a digestive fluid upon the insect, and this fluid exhibits a composition analogous to that found in the gastric juice of our own stomach. Certain other plants capture insects by means of their pitcher-like leaves, the lest known species of these belonging to the group Nepenthes.

In the pitcher-like the insects are drowned, and their bodies undergo a decomposition. Professor Vines. In a recent communication to the Lnmsden Society, points out that in the Nepenthes the digestive ferment is not so much like that of the animal stomach as like that found in the pancreas or sweetbread. This latter organ furnishes a fluid which can digest all kinds of food, and one substance in its fluid, trfpsin. to wit, acts specially on nitrogenous matter.

One-War Traffic. Every little while some project is broached for the building of a railroad to the seaboard at some unheard of and heretofore unknown place which is said tobe possessed of deep water and to have all the facilities for a first-class ocean port. According to the prospectus of such an enterprise, all that is necessary is to furnish transportation to and from such a point and ships will immediately flock thereto, bringing with them all the benefits of an established commerce. That schemes of this kind present attractions sufficient to draw money from the pockets of investors is abundantly proved by the record of the past 10 years, but that expectations with regard to them cannot be realized finds still more abundant proof In the record of the last 50 years. No port, no steamship line, no railroad, no one-way traffic can well prospar in competition with a two-way traffic.

A New York, Feb. 14. The net result of today's operations in the stock market, showed gains, although during the first part of the session the reaction was continued. How much of the early selling was due to a desire to secure more of the accumulated profits and how much to apprehension over Tuesday's decision regarding the collateral loan tax, is doubtful, but when the assurance was given that no immediate steps would be taken toward enforcing the tax the somewhat hysterical mood into which the market had itself wore off and most of the losses were recovered. Two of the market's weakest spots were Amalgamated Copper and Brooklyn Rapid Transit, each of which touched what was virtually low point for the year.

Among the individual operations for the rise those in Baltimore and Ohio and Southern Pacific were the most noteworthy. The general list showed some hesitation at the close, but the final undertone was distinctly strong. Baltimore and Ohio common, which sold ex the semi-annual dividend of 2 per was one of the firmest stocks on the list and was taken in considerable amounts for Philadelphia and Baltimore account. There was spirited buying by large banking interests that have been identified with the property. Insiders are expressing confidence that the rapidly increasing traffic of this road will soon justify an increase lp the dividend rate.

Southern Railway preferred made a record quotation and there was steady inside buving on the practical certainty that the dividend will be increased from 4 to 5 per cent. 1 The Schuylkill and Juniata Railroad properties and franchises have been acquired by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company by purchase. For several years the Juniata system has been operated by the Pennsylvania manngement under a lease. The stockholders of the smaller company have voted to turn over the property to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the latter company assuming all liabilities. This proposition has been approved by the Pennsylvania directors, and will be submitted to the stockholders of that company at a meeting to be held on March 11.

The president of the Stock Exchange, Rudolph Keppler, accompanied by one or two ether members of the governing committee, will go to Washington tonight to confer with Commissioner Yerkes by appointment tomorrow morning. Members of the Stock Exchange are very hopeful of the favorable result of this Interview. They feel that when the practical effect of Mr. Yerkes' ruling is set before him he will reverse his order.

St. L. 10 United Railways Issues Active And Firm Money Easy. United Railways issues had the call lit the dealings at the Baltimore Stock Exchange yesterday, transactions in these securities making up more than cne-balf of the total sales. They were active and strong on the probability of Gen.

John M. Hood being president of the company. It was a distinct compliment to General Hood's ability as a railroad executive that the mere announcement of his name in this connection should cause such confidence among investors as was evidenced by the rise of the United Railways issues. The Income bonds were especially absorbed In large blocks at an advance from 69 to 70Va, and despite quite active profit taking they, closed only under the top. The stock was also in steady request and -advanced to lQi, with the final price the highest.

The 4s gained a fraction, to 97. Trading elsewhere was quiet, though sales of some round lots of bonds were recorded. Including $65,000 Jacksonville 5s at 111. $10,000 Charleston Consolidated Electric 5s at 90 and $12,000 City and Suburban of Washington 5s at 92. The G.

B. S. issues were quiet but firm. Consolidated Gas stock sold in fair amounts from 66 to Oe1. Seaboard issbes were largely neglected, the few transactions made being at previous prices.

Money was easy at 4a4 per cent, on call. The market for exchange was firm, except marks. Rates for actual business were 484 for bankers' 60-day bills, 487 for demand, 484a485 for 60 days commercial. Continental exchange: Bankers' Paris long francs, 518; commercial, 60 days, 518a 520; bankers long reichsmarks, 94; commercial, 60 days, 9413-16; guilders, 60 days, 39. New York Stock And Bond Market.

In New York money on call was steady at 2 to 2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper 4a4 per cent. Bar silver 55'4- Mexican dollars 43. Government bonds steady. State bonds strong.

Railroad bonds irregular. The reaction in the stock market continued early, but was checked during the day, and a level of prices was established substantially higher. The market became unsteady again and closed rather heavy. The question of a tax on stocks as collateral for call loans seemed to play an effective part in the dealings, the decision to collect the tax being apparently responsible for the early weakness. Later reports that the question was still open to construction were followed by the rally in the market.

The special stocks which led the recovery were apparently influenced by individual causes also. The dealings in Colorado and Southern were on a heavy scale. The rumor to account for the movement is that competition for control of the road is going on, probably between Union Pacific and the Gould interests. The strength of Sugar was due to the decision to take up the Cuban reciprocity question In Congress after the war tax reduction measure is out of the way. Baltimore and Ohio was in active demand and more than recovered its semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent, which came off.

Brooklyn Rapid Transit made a notable recovery, and Manhattan was strong in sympathy, but Metropolitan Street Railway fell away over a point at the last. No public announcement had been made, in the street of the Metropolitan's readjustment plan. The Chicago and Great Western stocks rose from 1 to' 2 points on reports that the company had acquired the St. Joseph and Grand Island. Southern Railway preferred rose on the belief that it is to be placed on a 5 per cent, dividend basis.

The advance in Southern Pacific was also resumed for over a point. Amalgamated Copper was the leader of the specialties in point of activity, and dropped 1 at one time. The Glucose stocks lost 2 each. Some of the minor stocks which have recently advanced suffered particularly from early profit taking. Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern jumped 6 points on two transactions.

As there have been no gold exports this week, the gain in cash on the interior movement and on suty-treasury operations is expected to be fully reflected in the bank statement, the prospective gain being over $2,000,000. The general expectation is for a further loan expansion. Reports from Chicago indicate a hardening money market there and an expectation of an early return flow of currency to the interior to meet the AVest's needs for largelv increased business. The premium on New York exchange at Chicago fell to 15 cents per thousand. Sterling exchange hardened slightly.

The reduction in the price of gold in London shows that the pressure for gold from Paris has relaxed, which makes demand upon New York for gold improbable. Bonds were again active, but the movement of prices was irregular. Total sales, par value, were $3,545,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. Treasury Statement.

Near Berlin an establishment has been erected for the purpose of experimenting on the effects of ozone in ridding water of the microbes it contains. Ozonized air, containing from two to three grams peg cubic meter (a cubic meter equals 220.09 gallons, and a gram is about 15 grains English! is passed upward into a tower which is filled with flints, and in its passage meets the water coming down, and thus acts upon it.

It has been sh(wn that, as regards water from the Spree, the number of microbes was decreased from (JOO.OOO per cubic centimeter (O.061 of a cubic Inch) to 10. which is practically nil. British medical journals of high authority insist that ozone can be artificially produced at reasonable expense to purify the air In tunnels, sewers and other places in London. a paece'er ogles, and. beirg of an excitable nature, when he laughs claps his wings on Lis sides aal crows.

For, believe me. if there Is ever a time in a man's life when supposititious value is set upon him it is when he is single and dis-engased. Let him change his condition and he will have ttie immediate satisfaction of being estimated at his own worth. It is a matter to think upon and worth your heed as to what becomes of theeharm-lng young men who adorned society a few seasons ago and have now disappeared.

They were "clever, brave, just religious enough to stt't my Isabella." but so utterly has the wave passed over them that the subscriber out of delicacy has avoided making inquiries, lest they be recuperating In some puhlic institution at the expense and f-ir the gvMl of the eommnn'ty. But when at last with the poet's demand, "Where are last year's she tremblingly puts tue question, she is sure to learn that they "'have passed the altas and entered the run home, long, dusty and straight to the grave." to quote the experienced aud cheerful author of "David Balfour." For this column's part it cannot picture a more sickening sense of change than that which must come to the bachelor of the present day when he wakes to the fact that, socially speaking, he has forfeited his only right to live. Until he puts his head In the noose, "and it is a noose, you know," fays Mr. Brooke in "Middlemarch." he was accepted on his bachelorhood and no questions asked. Nice girls were content to be seen walking with him because he was a man.

no matter what man. and so his stupidity, his James-like qualities of stiff cuffs and tall collars, combined with a certain liternlness, were accepted with warmth, if not ardor, while the breath of flattery was not unknown to his nostrils. Bnt the lion with his teeth pulled, the serpent bereft of his fangs, is not as forlorn an object as the usual bachelor converted Into a married man and sitting through course dinner by a young woman addresses herself to the person on the other side, and when 1' would "cut In," as was his former playful habit, regards him with a distant sort of glance as If trying to place him. and then with a "but you were saying. Mr.

gives him ample opportunity to know exactly how she dresses her back hair. A year ago, and he had only to pen his lips and that same fair head was bent, as the rose to the summer wind, in the direction he was blowing. Now he must shout hik best story to the deaf lady on his right or devote himself to eating. Married men are accused of an inordinate fondness for food, but I think neglect and dullness drive them to it. One has only to read current literature to be convinced how unpopular married men really are.

Almost all the ladies who ask our sympathy In the works of "Mrs." Julian Gordon and other portrayers of high lif are married, and almost all married tc brutes. If by chance a woman happens to fall In love with one of them, not even M. Paul Bourget has a word of sympathy for her. But he was not a brute when he came a-woolng, not a brute when he came even uninvited to Sunday night supper, not even dull when he told his oft-repeated jokes. Now, this column does not want to be rude, but there are other things.

That free and eportive life. "Wordsworth's Dolphin." upon a summer, was not morejrar and blithe than he," must, when he quits his bachelor state, be exchanged for one into which enter the caprices of others. Married men have to put up with a good deal. The most high-minded of ladies have their little personal traits. They dislike crowds, theT can't stand long.

They are apt, dear souls, to be a little well, we might call It, a little unreasonable. "My dear," said Mr. Locker-Sampson, the poet, one day to his wife, "don't you think you are sometimes of rather too rigid a disposition? You know at railway stations you often point out to me as predestined for all eternity to a shameful end a man who has Incurred your ill opinion because he wears trousers with rather a broad stripe and has an unusually large cigar In his mouth." And then a man has toaecomniodate himself to his wife's taste In food. Most women have a passion for about once a week dismissing the servants and getting what they call "high tea" themselves. This repast is generall yof a chilly and nnexhilar-atlng type, sandwiches and salad and what the cook.

In "A Londoner's Log Book," who was a woman of imperfect education, used to call "cold sweats" that is, pink jellies an a vaporous decoction sent by Fa tan to buffet us knownas whipped cream. She never used to have this sort of thing in the old days, but that was long, oh. so long! ago, when terrapin stew Itself was not too good, nor succulent roasts. And another thing, but I suppose a high-minded person would not mind. No matter how long he stood on the theshold with "Shall I or shall I not? on his lips one fine day he will overhear the following words issuing from the lips of Mabel's mamma: "It has really been quite aa infatuation with him and he has carried his point by fiheer persistency.

Electric street cars are a development of the former horse cars, but the conditions of their operation are much more nearly like those of the steam railroad cars than of the old horse cars. The difference between the action of hand brakes and power brakes is this: In the hand brake the power Is applied by slowly Increasing from a minimum to a maximum; in the power brake the power is applied Instantly and held at Its maximum.

A motorman winding his hand brake with the utmost energy cannot escape losing fractions of most precious seconds, on which life or death depend, before he Is able to make the application of power appreciable in retarding the speed of the car.
