We quote on a basis of 75e per gallon for raw in ear lots. WOOL The market is firm, though without important change. The volume of business Is moderate, but the number of buyers in the market has increased and there Is considerable looking around. The mills have used up most of the raw material which they have recently purchased and will be in need of additional supplies to complete the orders which are now coming in. The supply of fleeces has become much reduced and holders of these are strong- in their views.

Most of the transactions are in territories, which are selling on a clean basis of 4baG0c as to quality. We quote as follows: Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia Hne delaine washed. S0a31c; XX and above washed. 27a2Sc; fine medium blood) washed. 30a31c: low medium (i and blood) washed.

We cannot tell you but you might get the information by applying to the captains of the winning clubs. This year's winners were: The Lobsters, The Furni-val, The Silver Crown, The West Philadelphia. The White Caps, The Bismarck-The Wissinoming, The Jenner, The Liberty Bell, The iSauer Krout. "Calcutta," a "Funny (A "ioung We just love to explain things to boys (and girls, too, of and what's more, we quite agree with you that it was "kind of tough" for your father to sneer at your inability to tell him what he himself did not know concerning "that funny name Calcutta." when he read the announcement in The Inquirer that King George had gone through the city thus called. Anyhow, we'll tell you a little story about it.

Do you happen to know that, a long time ago, our little Word "gate" meant a passage-way? Well, there seems to be a root-word something like "gat" or "gaut" or "ghaut," having that same meaning, in all the old languages of the East (where Ave originally came from, you know). And if ever it is your good fortune to take a trip through India, you will come across "ghauts" and variants of "ghauts" galore, -chiefly of two kinds. One kind of "ghaut" is a pass, or a mountain pass (like "Sheer-gotta" (the lion's pass) between Calcutta and Benares) or a mountain range itself (like the Western and Eastern Ghats, parallel to the coast of Southern India). The other kind is a pass in the sense of a stairway (like "Nana Ghat," in the Bombay region a monster flight of step's climbing a precipitous wall of rock 1500 feet sheer up and down, which overlooks the Konkan); but most frequently it is a structural stairway between a river and a temple erected on its bank, the original purpose of which was to facilitate bathing in the sacred stream and drawing the water for religious purposes. If you strike the town of Benares, you will find in its immediate vicinity along the banks of the Ganges some 40, perhaps 50, of those specimens of Hindu religious architecture; and if you travel southeastwardly toward the bay of Bengal, you will surely be shown the renowned "Kali-ghat the stairway of Kali) which cannot fail to suggest to you the name of the city of Cal-cutta" to which it belongs.

Kali, you must know, was a goddess, the saki, or wife, of Shiva, the third person of the Hindu Trinity. One of Shiva's epithets to "Kala" (black). and so his consort was called "Kali" or "Kali Ma" (black mother); and well did she deserve her name; for human sacrifices were an essential part of her ritual and right up to our own timelier devotees would cut their own Mesh or burn portions of their body or otherwise torture themselves in an endeavor to please her; indeed it seems but yesterday that the British Government felt strong enough to prohibit the infamous "llook-swirging Festivals," which were held in her honor, when men voluntar-il3' submitted to be swung in the air and whirled round in a circle for 15 or 20 minutes, hanging from hooks which were-passed through the muscles over their bladebones'. Be that a it may, Kali died; the gods ordered her corpse to be" cut to pieces with the discm that Vishnu always held in one of his four hands: and when it was accordingly chopped up, one of her fingers dropped on the bank of the old bed of the Ganges; a temple with its. customary magnificent flight of steps was erected on the spot: in time its designation, was extended to the village which then lay a lew miles to the north of it, and-in the course of years, the village" became the important city of "Calcutta."

THE AUTHORIZED STRENGTH of the Army, not including the Hospital Corps, on July 1, 1010, was officers and 76,001 enlisted men in the Regular Army and 180 officers arid 5732 enlisted men in the Philippine Scouts.

The authorize! strength of the Army on July 1, 1911. not including the Hospital Corps, but including the Philippine Scouts, was 4997 officers and enlisted men; the President, however, oidered that the strength of the Army, not including the Hospital Corps, but including the Philippine Scouts, should not exceed 2. THE ACTUAL STRENGTH of the entire military establishment on June HO, 1911, was 4281 officers and 70,001 enlisted men of the Regular Arm 170 officers and 5401 enlisted men in the Philippine Scouts, or a total of 44G0 officers and 75,402 enlisted (not including the strength of the Hospital Corps, 3453 enlisted men). 3. The appropriation for the support of the armv for 1912 is the estimates for 1913 are Duniel Pe.tsg: ami PeggN liun run rose from a spring in the Spring Garden which gave its name to Spring Garden street; but it was -immediately swollen up to such an extent by other streams from the marsh which the Delaware flooded at every tide, that the residents could row up the stream beautifully rural and lined with shrubbery" right up to its source; and, there, were in the habit of "drinking their tea and making their regale in a place of great rural attraction." This favorite creek was popularly christened after the man who practically owned it, Daniel Pegg, a much-married Friend who, in lGSG, acquired from Jurian Hartsf elder 350 acres which the latter had obtained under a patent from Governor Andros in March, 1676-(almost 6 years before the arrival of Wm-Penn's Colony).

This land covered nearly all of what became known as the Northern Liberties. Pegg sold some 150 acres of the northern part of it to William Coates, and improved the remainder as a farm, diked the marsh, set up a brick kiln, and built for himself on the west side of Front street, a little below the present Green street, a spacious mansion, which was referred to as "the big brick house at the north end," and was evidently so desirable a property that, in 1709, Wm. Penn would have been glad to rent it for a country residence. Later on, about the time of the Revolution, it was also nicknamed "the Dutch House," partly in allusion to its. double-hipped roof and chiefly because it had been long noted as a place for holding a dance somewhat "similar to a waltz which was a favorite with the Dutch under the name of "hupsesaw." Daniel died in 1732, survived by Sarah, his third wife, but by no male issue to keep up his name, his only child being a daughter also named Sarah.

Of the early history or ancestry of this pioneer, nothing, seems to be known: and even as far back as 1830 when John Francis Watson was compiling his Annals (from which most of the above is gleaned), he took occasion to remark while commenting on the names of the first Swedish settlers in this section: "The extinction of these names of the primitive lord of the isoil remains one of the equally lost names of the primitive lords at the other end of the city, to wit: the Hartsfelders anil Pengs' al! sunk In 'the aljs of time: Bv whom forjrotfen or hy equally ia all Ihoin lotl" Friday, January 5, Flout? was qniet, but firmly held.

0. Pratt Here Through the granting of a charter yesterday by the Amalgamated Association ot Street and Electric Railway Employes for a new union in this city to replace local Division No. 477, which was recently suspended, C. O. Pratt and his followers have been outlawed as far as obtaining either recognition or support from the American Federation of Labor.

The privilege, to establish a new division was granted by "William J. Mahon, of the Amalgamated Association, in answer to a petition sisrned by a number of trolleymen who expressed a desire to continue under the jurisdiction of the parent body. The letter was received by Magnus Sinclair, Mahon's representative in this city, who immediately arranged to hold a meeting for the purpose of perfecting a new organization. The meeting will be held this evening in the Lippin-cott Building, Twelfth and Filbert streets. The granting of a charter for a new local division under the control of the Amalgamated Association id regarded by labor men as a eevere blow to Pratt and his followers, and a victory for Mahon, who led the movement finally resulted in Pratt's being declared ineligible as a member of the local union.

Pratt was undisturbed by the announcement that President Mahon had restored the charter of the Amalgamated Association to the petitioners. It is understood that all of the union trolleymen in the city excepting less than 40O are with Pratt in his fight against the parent organization. New Delaware Charters From The Inquirer Bureau.

Powers Promote Peace in Tripoli Jan. 5.

Several European powers, including Germany, have been sounding both Rome and Constantinople as to the possibility of arranging an armistice between Turkey and Italy which might perhaps pave the way for peace. The results of these efforts up to the present time have been indefinite, I rawhide and we start off down the stony road and across the bridge. -1 My guest and all, the onlookers are vastly amused," the tears roll down their laces at the laughable idea of sitting in a chair and making a pony pull it along. There are no wheeled vehicles in Tibet, and these people had only seen the rough ekkas, which were used for transport during the expedition in 1904. Their surprise at the motor car imported by my.

predecessor had subsided, though they were always glad to" surround and stare at it. For sheer entertainment, however, let them gaze on the white man's new invention going down the road. After a spin of half a mile we return, but as we are crossing the narrow bridge, innocent of parapets, it occurs to me that the pony is further off than he should be. I am puzzling over this phenomenon when suddenly the shafts slip clear of the harness, the trap tilts, back and we are lying on it with our heads hanging over the rushing water "and our feet pointing to the skies. Meanwhile the pony, Who "never in this wise had treated been before," tears the reins out of my hands and gallops home.

The Tibetan groom with great presence of mind closes the hood of the trap so that we cannot see the awful doom that awaits us if we stir, though the danger is no further off on that account. With some- difficulty we are rescued, my Tibetan friend in a terrified condition, and I have never been able to persuade him to come for a drive again, even behind the best Cawnpore harness. Blackwood's Magazi ne. WOAMN'S FARMING VENTURE I'roflt From 12000 Acre Over Which She Is the Hos Miss R. N.

Hiilman is the active head of a profitable farm of nearly 2o0O acres. She was. born in St. Paul and for some years was well known as a stenographic reporter. Shortly before leaving for Canada she moved to a Wisconsin farm.

Here she became interested in farming. She' longed to get-out on the Western prairies, so with what capital she possessed she took what she calls a "long chance" -and staked her savings on Canadian, land. What she did, she persists, many a girl now orking on a 'small salary can do. With her mother and small brother she went into the country, purchasing supplies in a blind way, for she knew little about arming. She is now classed as one of the large grain growers in the vicinity of Moosejaw.

From small beginnings her land possessions grew. At first it was forty-five miles to the nearst railway station. It was a' game, but the market came, as it must inevitably come to a fertile country, and now what was once the frontier has a station within easy hailing distance. Miss Hillman's buildings are of stone and cement. The barns have cemented alleys and it takes a foreman and a staff of four hands to run the place in the dull time and eight men during the busy season.

Miss Hiilman is the real head- She rides about her farm and knows what she is doing. Her system of farm -accounts shows every day vdiere she is "at" financially, and sWe can tell you that back in the year 1900 she took off 8300 -bnshels on 230 acres and cleaned up over 6000.

It grows to a very considerable size, and principal feature is a bell-shaped throat, something like the flower of an arum lily, but much larger and deeper, and opening into a hollow stem. It is almost black in color, and covered with a thick, glutinous secretion. Its nrincipal characteristic is its loathsome odor, strongly resembling that of decaying carrion.

By means of this it attracts carrion-feeding birds to it. Once they alight on it, they are lost. Their claws become entangled in the secretion, the bell-shaped mouth folds up, and they are literally swallowed, feathers and all, and digested by juices secreted in the throat of the plant. Make Yourself at Home "Fire shouted the man at the window. His neighbors flocked out in response.

"Is that you, Jones?" yelled the man, waving frantically. "Hun to the station and give the alarm! And, Smith, will you shout for help up the road? I'm cut off ur here, and can't budge." "Awfully sorry, old chap." called Jones, the rheumatism, and can't run." "And I've got the bronchitis," wheezed Smith "anu can't shout." The worried rmon at the window waxed sarcastic. "Poor he cried, while the Avail behind him glowed with yellow flames. "Well, never mind; just feteh a couple of easyehairs out from my parlor, and enjoy the -blaze." lOO WEDDRSC INVITATION'S. S2-S0.
