Literary Notes. 



"Xiagara — The Scene of Perilous 

 Feats" is the title of an article in the 

 February Cosmopolitan which tells the 

 story of the many who have year after 

 year gone to Niagara seeking notoriety 

 or — death. From the earliest days Ni- 

 agara has been the Mecca of those who 

 valued their lives lightlv and the story 

 of Sam Patch. Blondin. Maria Speller- 

 ina. the jealous Balleni's attempt to cut 

 the cable on which his rival was per- 

 forming over the seething Whirlpool 

 Rapids. Peter Nissen's ill-fated "Fool- 

 Killer," and Captain Webb's last swim, 

 is carried down to Mrs. Taylor, the 

 onlv survivor of a trip over the great 

 Falls. 



In an article on After Dinner Toasts 

 in What to Eat. the writer says: "To 

 the witty after-dinner speaker belong 

 rightly the glories of the feast. Many 

 a man returning from a banquet assail- 

 ed by his wife with 'W^hat did you have 

 to eat"?" sa3's sleepily. "Oh, I don't re- 

 member the feed but I heard some rat- 

 tling good stories. Judge X told the 

 best one I ever heard.' " 



Mexico is considered by Felix L. 

 Oswald. M. D., in "Internationa! Food 

 Studies." Alethe Lowber Craig has an 

 interesting article on "Washington 

 Fashionable Dinners," describing an 

 orchid dinner, the most expensive in 

 the annals of Washington society. 



The stories for the month are: "At 

 the Cafe de L'Europe" by Kilbourne 

 Cowles, and "Peggy's Valentines," a 

 children's story by Laura A. Smith. 



"White Flour Vs. Health Flour" is 

 a strong editorial in the series which 

 has awakened much attention. 



Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 7. — Demand for 

 honey is better than usual, with moder- 

 ate supply. We cjuoto fancv comb. 15 

 to i6c; extracted, 5 to 7c. Honey of 

 any grade sells well; dark at 8 to 12c, 

 as to grade. Those interested, please 

 write. The supply of beeswax is the 

 lightest in years. We quote fancy yel- 

 low wax at 28 to 30c; dark, 20 to 25c. 

 Batterson t-V Co. 



New York, Dec. 9.— The comb honev market 

 is in about the same condition as our last ad- 

 vices, there being a good demand with enough 

 receipts arriving to take care of all business. 

 We quote as follows: Fancy white, per pound, 

 15c; No. 1, white, 14c; No. 2, white, 12 to 13c; 

 Buckwheat, 10 to He. 



Francis H. Leggett & Co. 



Chicago, Nov. 13.— The market is easier in 

 tone, while prices are nominally the same, but 

 would be shaded to effect sales. Some cars of 

 honey en route to eastern cities have been di- 

 verted to this and surrounding points, which 

 is having a depressing effect. 



Comb brings 14 to 1.3 cents for best grades 

 of white, and light amber, 12 to 13 cents; dark 

 grades, 10 to 11 cents; extracted white 5 1-2 to 

 6 1-2 cents, according to quality, flavor and 

 package; light amber 5 1-4 to 5 3-4; amber and 

 dark, 5 to 5 1-4. Beeswax. 28 cents.
