Although the total sales at the Stock EX
change were lighter to-day than on two or
three other extremely duh days of the month,
business to-day was as listless and uninterest-
ing as on any other day that has passed this
summer. The dealings we're confined to board
and room traders, who marked prices mp or
down small fractions at the pleasure of the
outside. The public has had as little to do
with the stock market for some days past as
at any time, perhaps, this year. This is shown
In part in the fluctuations to-day. which in no
case, except Lackawanna, amounts to as
much as per cent. for the active list. 1t is
also seen IN the absence of orders in the Offices
OF leading brokerage houses. 1t is beginning
to leak out that the meeting of the presidents
of the trunk lines in this city on Tuesday was
not as harmonious as was stated. After the
meeting adjourned excuses were found for
the rep esentatives of the Baltimore and Ohio
leaving the meeting, and the fact thar LackH-
wanna was not represented was also claimed
to be unlmpOrtent, as 1t was alleged that the
company was in hearty sympathy with the
efforts of the presidents to restore rates. 1t is
now stated, however, by persons intimate
with some of the members of the meeting
that it broke up In a row, and that there was
no semblance Of harmony, during the latter
part of the proceedings especially. The earn

ports show that they are doing less profitable
business than when prices were 20 per cent.

Female Cattle.Herders.

At the Gait House yesterday tall,
lank, slim man, with high cheek-bones,
piercing black eyes and dark, bushy
mustache, scrawled his name in the
register. '.Prof. w. Zurana, Austin,
Tex" "Glad to give any information
/ can" said the lank stranger, as the
reporter told his mission. Il am here
only for few hours. My home is be-
tween Austin and San Marcos, in the
hills that stretch along the valley of
San Antonio. Aside from the stories
of the growth of that portion of the
country l s'pose there's nothing that
would interest so much as the facts /
can give you about the cattle girls OF
our region"
The reporter smiled and the Texan
continued.
Il know that there is an air of SEEM
ing improbability about this, but it is
nevertheless a fact that there exists in
the hills ranging along from San Mar
cos to San Antonio from thirty to fifty
cattle girls. Some of them belong to tho
best families of that part of the state.
Some of them to the worst. They are,
however, the finest riders of the west,
and can whoop up a herd of ponies
better than the Mexicans. They have
a leader, a brunette, with long black
hair, that cracks like whip when she
is riding. They own from 400 to 500
head of steers. They have only been
there two seasons. The leader came
from Oklahoma territory, and was said
to be a fast friend of the Oklahoma
outlaw, Payne. Cody attempted to
get the girls to join the Wild West
show, but it was no 60. They can often
be seen on the streets of Austin, though
they are never known to stay in town
over night. They have a number of
frame cottages built for them about ten
miles from San Marcos by some Scotch
settlers. OF course they afford our
part of the Lone Star state good deal
of romantic talk.-L0uisuille Courier

Points About Pauses.

Judge Jeffrey, the editor of the Ed.
inburgh ReUie,c, prided himself upon
his ability in punctuating. Lord Cock
burn said of him: There was no one Of
the friends of his later acquisition for
whom he had greater admiration or re-
gard than Lord Macaulay. This Judge,
of "a, revised the proof-sheets of Ma
caulay's first volumes of the History of
England with the diligent and minute
care of corrector of the press toiling
for bread, not merely suggesting
changes in the matter and the express
sion, but attending to the very commas
and colons-a task which, though hum
BILE, would not be useless, because it
was one at which long practice had
made him very skillful; indeed, he used
to boast that it was one of his peculiar
excellencies. On returning a proof to
an editor of the Reuiew, he says:
II have myself rectifed most of the
errors. and made many valuable verbal
improvements in a small way. But
my great task has been with the punct-
uation, on which have. as usual, ac-
quilted myself to admiration. And in
deed this is the department of litera-
ture in which I feel that l most excel,
and on which am therefore most will
ing to stake my reputationr'

was able to punctuate. 81 have some
satisfaction in reflecting," he says,
THAT in the course of editing the
Greek text of the New Testament be-
lieve have destroyed more than a
thousand commas which prevented the
text being properly understood" To
this Mr.. Washington Moon retorted that
the great enemy to understanding the
Deans sentences was the want of COM

Why the Baby Doesn't Walk.

One inquiry which is often asked the
physician is: ''Why does not my baby
walk?" In answer we may say, first
of all, that delay in walking does not
necessarily imply physical disease or
weakness. A child's disposition may
have much to do with it; courage and
self-confidence make the infant for
ward. while timidity will make him
backward. The example of other, es-
pecially older, children stimulates the
enterprise of an infant; while, on the
other hand, too constant attention
from nurses relieves an indolent child
from the necessities of exertion. When
the tardiness passes beyond the ordi-
nary limits it may be due to some
weakness, either natural to the child
or perhaps the result of some definite
disease. ANY severe ailment may en-
tail such debility as to interrupt the
natural development Of the child in
this direction. Even the process of
dentition may have such an effect.

The "Ad" Man in History.

History will take care of the great
events of to-day and hand them down
to our great grandchildren in many a
ponderous volume; but the more inter-
esting picture of the daily life of their
ancestors will have to be made from
the advertisements now printed in the
daily papers. The Romans wrote their
advertisements and notices on the
blank walls of buildings, and these, as
we find them in Pompeii to-day, give
an animated and life-like representa-
ton of the very things we desire to
know about this once gay and pleasure
loving people. But modern life reflects
its interesting little phases, moods,
rivalries and concerns in the broad
pages of the daily journal; and hun
dred years hence the advertisements in
some well preserved copy of the Sun
day edition will give a more vivid pict-
ure of what is going on in the city to-
day than all the solemn histories fur
nish. 1t is the advertiser who writes
for posterity.-,St Louis Republican.

Lisping the Lords Prayer.

And we sit down-my wife and T.
and look into the infants face with
tear-dimmed eyes, for we believe we
can trace a resemblance to the brave
boy who left us two years ago, and we
wonder if our hope that another son
might come to help fill the awful void
he left is not well answered by the wee
morsel that is now chuckling over its
success in getting its dainty pink big
toe between its toothless gums.
And though we were sleepy before,
we sit down contented and happy,
watching every sunny CLEAN that
sparkles in the bonnie blue eyes of the
subject, "and yet thinking of the grave
that holds all that is mortal of our little
household saint, till the baby's face is
transtigured by e. wondrous light; and
in the depths of those blue eyes we see
the hopes and joys of years yet to come,
and ere the baby's head droops peace
fully on my vest, and the laughing eyes
are closed, we are filled to overlooking
with gratitude for what has been given

maze the attorney the repository OF
his dreadful secret. he was forced at
any sacrifice, to close with Colley at
once.
In a case before Justice Charles
Fisher, in which Colley had brought
suit to turn out a tenant, the opposing
counsel produced written lease, which
showed that the tenants lease had not
expired, and that the action could not
be maintained; but Colley proved that
after the lease had been signed an oral
agreement had been entered into by
which it had been set aside. The law
yer on the other side argued that the
lease was yet in force. Colley, his
huge form seemingly swelling to still
greater proportions, replied: '.Mr.
Blank sets up here. your honah, a
written lease; but have shown, your
honah. by overwhelming testimony.
that aftah this lease was executed, by
an oral agreement between the parties
it was erased, evacuated, and dis
persed!n

ager cannot see all his ballet girls
home. 1t therefore depends very much
on the girl herself what she does out of
the theater. But the same may be said
of the girls in telegraph offices and in
shops. / do not know how ballet
girl is exposed to more temptation
when dancing on stage with the foot
lights between her and the spectators
than a shop-girl behind counter.
There are, no doubt, girls who go into
the ballet as means to an end. But
this is the exception. Ballet girls,
generally speaking, are relations of
persons connected with the theatrical
profession. The theater is their world,
and they are accustomed to its WAYS.
At rehearsals they hang together, and in
their everyday garments they look very
much the reverse of hours. Their
chief pleasure consists in eating sweet
stuff and cakes, on which food they like
to lunch. Their language to each 9TH
er, and when in the room where they
all dress, is not refined, but rather the
reverse, and it probably would surprise
girl not to the manner born and sud-
denly thrust among them; this, howev-
er, is the worst that can be said against
them, and when they leave the theater
they do not loiter, because they have
but one thought-to catch the bus
