WAYS OF WALL STREET.

How the Few Insiders Spread Information
for the Benefit of the Outsiders, for
Whom They are Laying.
To those who watch the Wall street
fluctuat ons in stocks, and wonder
about the causes, this weeks quota
tons must have been mystifying.
Speaking generally. it may be said that
there are not more than a round dozen
men who are able to be controllers of
the changeful figures. and even they
sometimes fail in their attempts. Their
names begin with Gould and include
Sage, Nils, Woershoffer, Cammack
and Vanderbilt. The smaller opera
tors are gamblers, pure and simple,
with no power for manipulation. Dur
ing this week the processes of stock
boom and depression have been in un-
usual use, and it is good time 10
explain them. The cardinal principle
is the dissemination of mislead ng
rumors. Secrecy is the second doc
trine. Quite as often as not, Gould
does not trust more than one
agent in a movement, and it is not
until the activity has been increased
by a renewal two or three times of
this order to buy and sell big lot
that he begins to work his wires.
There are in Wall street half dozen
agencies for the distribution of news.
They send out every hour printed
sheets like small newspapers, or
manifold copies of their information.
These agencies are then used by Gould

WILD TURKEYS.
The Curious Ways Hunters Have Get

The Curious Ways Hunters Have or Get
ting Shot at Them.
Hunting the wild turkey is consid-
cred very good sport, but as they are
only in season during the cold months
it requires a hunter of endurance to
find them. In the mountains they
have curious way of getting a shot.
After building ''blind' of boughs to
hide behind, the hunter throws a guam
tity of grain upon the ground within
easy gunshot. and drops few grains
in lines radiating probably for a hum
d red yards in every direction through
the woods. There is then plan upon
the ground like the hub and spokes of
a wheel Early in the morning the
wandering flock of turkeys will find
one of these spokes and run along it,
eating as they 60, until they reach the
feast Of corn at the hub. This is where
the hunter is concealed, and you can
imagine the rest. They get to the
feast, but like Polonious. it is feast
mot where they eat, but where they
are eaten"
Another device for Turing them with
in gunshot is the turkey call, sort of
whistle made often from a wing bone,
and with which the voice of a turkey
can be very we'll initiated. The male
birds answer and gradually approach,
amid breathless interest on the part of
the sportsman. until bang! bang! Oft

pens, off go the turkeys with only the

but also of his neighbors. This teaches
mother turkey to hide her nest away
and to guide her young so they will not
be discovered by the male. The in
stinct clings to them in domestication
and they require close watching to pre-
| vent the nests from being hidden away.

A london Street Scene.

Mr.. Labouchere relates this little
scene of London life: las I was walk
ing along the Strand late one evening
last week, / saw some better acting
than have seen for a long time at a
theater. Two little children were seated
on the steps of Exeter Hall. The girl.
about ten years old. with her head
thrown back. seemed to have dropped
asleep from hunger and fatigue. and
the boy, who looked about seven, with
one arm twined about his sister. had
buried his curly head in her lap. Com
passion filled the passers-by. Suddenly
a little urchin ran up to the sleeping
pair and muttered 'Coppersr' Half a
minute later some four or five police
men passed along. but the babes in
the wood had already vanished. In
half a minute more / looked again and
saw the little pair. and their former
attitude was so well resumed that only
the evidence of my own sight could
persuade me that they had ever quilted

Oscar Wilde defines fashion in
dress as form of ugliness so I'M
bearable that we have to alter it every
six months. Egyptian dress lasted
for 1000 years, and Greek dress near
ly 1000 years, and wherever dress
has been beautiful and rational it has
lasted for long time. The texture
and color may have altered, but the
dress has remained the same. AS to
style, he had seen a bonnet composed
of nothing but stuffed bird alight-
ing on piece of tulle. That did not
strike one as very sensible material OF
which to make head-dress in a
climate such as ours. On a Paris
fashion-plate he had seen under bon
net of the stuffed bird and-tulle school
note to this effect: ''With this kind
of bonnet the mouth is worn slightly

Mrs. F. G. Kellogg, so E. Seth ST., was par
TALLY paralyLed, and lay for seven days in
commissions. Physicians were engaged and
discharged until seven had failed to help
or cure her. She was unable to leave her
bed, and was as helpless as a child. After
using all sorts of salves, ointments, lotions
and plasters, her case was given up as
hopeless. She was induced to try st.
Jacobs Oil as a last chance. She began to
improve from the time the first application
was made, and by its continued use, she
has completely recovered.

A physician writes:.

"With suicidal Indifference many disre-
gard the laws of hculth. They eat irdi-
gestible food, they expose themselves to
sudden climatic changes, they excessive
ly strain the nerves, they give no heed to
daily evacuation of the bowels, they re-
press a natural desire to. urinate, they
indulge in hurtful drinks, etc. Ere long
their health completely fails. A state Of
impure blood, nervous depression, dys-
pcpsia. urinary disorders, partial paraly-
Sis, etc, follows. AS a cure cordially
recommend Or. Cuysott's Yellow
Dock and Sarsapariila, which, in
attention to correct bodily habits, with
regular hours Of sleep, etc, will surely
restore health. I consider it the best
tonic, blood purifier and strengthened
sold By druggists. 1t acts soothingly and
mildly. and never leaves any unpleasant
after effects. Many have been astonished
at its marvellous cures, after all other
remedies had failed"

the injuries received resulted in an ovarian
tumor which grew and enlarged until death
seemed certain. Her physician finally adj
vised her to try Mrs. Pinkham's Compound.
She did so and in short time the tumor
was dissolved or caused to slough off, and
she is no,o in perfect health. also know Of
