The Rise Of StOck.JObbing.

Stockholders and stock iobbing took
their rise in the end of the seventeenth
century, and, like Pallas, they seem to
have sprung forth full-grown from the
brain of their progenitors. The last
few years of that century were indeed
years to be much remembered in the
financial history of this country. In
1892 the loan of 81 900, 900 laid the first
foundation of the national debt. In
1894 the first charter was granted to
the Bank of England. The currency of
the country was reformed in 1884, and
to meet the deficiency of coin the first
Exchequer bill was issued in 1898. The
charter of the old East India Company
was renewed in 1898; the charter to the
new East India Company was granted
in 1898. The abortive scheme of the
Land Bank was started III 1897; the i'll
starred Dsrien expedition was planned
in 1898. Together with these greater
ventures came the shoal of smaller fry
which never fail to follow in the wake
of any great speculative movement. In
1892, England, says Macaulay, witnessed
for the first time those phenomena with
WAASA OApOAAC0OC AuS L4SItC uo 1HA4A1AdI"
Then comes list of the companies
brought out, described with all the
picturesqueness of detail in which
Macaulay so excels. The list is a
strange one-not 80 strange, perhaps,
as the list of 1920. and scarcely stranger
than some of the schemes which in the
last ten years have sought admission to
. the London Stock Exchange. In 1892
there was a Copper Company which
proposed to explore the mines CT En-
gland, and held out a hope that they
would prove not less valuable than
those of Potosi. In 1873 there was the
"Gold Company, Limited" for work
ing an extinct gold mine in Wales.
which actually fingered on in existence
till 1878, though it never obtained
either settlement or quotation from
the Committee of the Stock Exchange
In the means used for floating these
new schemes, the promoters of the
seventeenth century seem to have been
but little way behind their successors
in the nineteenth. In Shadwell's play
of the Volunteers: or. The Stock Job
bers," brought out in 1892, all doubts
as to whether it be godly or not to hold
shares in q company for bringing over
Chinese rope-dancers are set ct rest by
the rejection that the shares will sell

deed, from the outset, it became manifest
that nothing but steam engine and
plenty Of water could adequately cope
with the rapidly spreading confiagration.
The citizens had long talked of the inn
portance and necessity of making provis-
ion against tile, but as in hundreds OF
similar cases, nothing had been done,
and, almest in the twinkling of an eye,
and apparently without moments
torewarnlng the emergency had arisen
which proved that they had rested too
securely in their presumed OF fancicd
security. The mistake of the past was
seen in an instant, but too late to admit
of remedy. From the time the fire was
first discovered until the last building
was but mass of smoking ruins, scarce
ly an hour had elapsed. Indeed, many
now estimate the time in which the
flames completed their devastating circuit
as not exceeding thirty or at most forty=
five minutes.
The FIRE, rs above stated, originated in
the rear OF the Nlskern hotel, and is sup
posedto have started in pile Of cornstalks
adjoining the stable. The theory most
generally accepted as to to its origin
is that 1t sprung from spark from pass
ing freight train which was blown by
the prevailing west wind and lodged in
the heap of infammable matter above
spoken of. Once started the progress
was so rapid that the citizens did not cv-
en- bring out their hook and ladder COM
pany, which is the only apparatus provid-
ed by the city authorities fer use in SIM
liar emergencies.
Upon the arrival of the Minneapolis
steamer, the work Of destruction was
complete, and of course nothing remain
ed TO be done. Had the steamer arrived
in time it is doubtful whether she could
have extended much aid on account of
the scarcity Of water.

Tobacco in the Hen-Roost.

A French gentleman has developed
theory that the inhalation Of tobacco
smoke by fowls causes their flesh to as
sumo o wonderfully white color and be-
come very tender at the same time. He
accordingly shut up a chicken in his
fowl-hoase, and set fire to a store OF.
"caporal," which he left burning in the
place. Tie young fowl, SO far from
being averse to the odor of the narcotic,
was inclined to try its taste as we'll as
its smell, and had in q few days time
consumed so much "caporal" that its
flesh was not only whitened, but abso-
lutely "nicotinized" with poison. To it
as it probably in rather stupid
state upon it's perch entered one night
an adventurer. The precious bird was
carried off, plucked, cooked and eaten,
and o short time after breakfast the
thief was seized with violent and intol-
cradle pains. He rushed to the doctor,
needless of the necessity which would
arise of disclosing his nocturnal esca-
pade. He was found to have been poi
soned by the nicotine contained in the
flesh of the fowl, and was with some
difficulty saved from death.

New Fangs in the Rattlesnake::

On Aug. 2, two very lively mice gave
him much trouble, SO much that he
struck at random good deal. In MAX
ing thrust overhead, after mouse
clambe1ing. along the wire screen, his
fangs got caught in the meshes and
were both broken of. I found one
afterward on the floor of the case, and
the other stuck fast in the skin of the
mouse, whence I removed and secured
it with hook before the prey was swal-
lowed. On the 9th of August, Just
three days after the fangs were lost, ]
placed very small mouse in the case
and watched attentively. It was -
o'clock, noon. The crotalus struck and
got the little fellow entangled in his
prehensile teeth or reserve fangs pos
terror to the new ones in exact position
and doing good execution. Five min
utes elapsed, in which the mouse hid
then, when opportunity offered, the
ophidian struck o tremendous blow,
after which the victim fell, gaped, con-
vclsed, and died in just 10 seconds after
the infiction of the wound. I think
that the first blow was struck too far be-
yond the victim, and was not effective.
The new fangs had taken the place of
the last weapons and becomeserviceable
in less than three days. I found that
the animal lost both fangs, also, OF the
time of changing the old for new skin.
On both occasions I have picked up
the fangs from the floor aiterward. Is
this always the case? I have noticed
that whenever the crotalus lost fang
Or two from an act of violence the alive
olus became tender or sore, as was
shown in the subsequent difficulty of
swallowing prey. It is claimed by DR..
Mitchell that if fang has been dis
placed from any but natural causes an
other reserve fang cannot perform pro-
visional duties in less than several
weeks from the time of violence to the
gums. I failed to make this observa
