Veterans Of Wall Street.

But few gain sufficient experience in
Wall street TO command success until
they reach that period of life in which
they have one foot in the grave. When
this time comes these old veterans Of the
street usually spend long intervals Of re-
pose at their comfortable homes, and in
times Of panic, which recur sometimes
oftener than once a year, these old fel-
lows will be seen in Wall street, hob
bling down on their canes 10 their
brokers' offices.
Then they always buy good stocks to
the extent Of their bank balances, which
have been permitted TO accumulate for
Just such an emergency. The panic
usually RACES until enough Of these cash
purchases of stock Is made 30 afford a big
rake in.' When the panic has spout
its force, these old fellows, who have been
resting i~udiciously on their oars in cx-
p~ectation Of the inevitable event, which
usually returns with the regularity Of the
seasons, quickly realize, deposit their
profit with their bankers, or the oyerplus
thereof, after purchasing more real estate
that Is On the up grade, for permanent
investment, and retire for another season
TO the quicmde Of their splendid homes
and families. Henry Clews.

Merchants and the Agencies.

As the business Of the mercantile agen-
cies is becoming better understood, the
attitude Of the merchants toward them
has undergone a very great change. 1t
used to be that the agencies were re-
garded as pernicious spies in the COM
mercial world, and the polite i~nterroga-
tories of u agents, asking for state
ments Of business standing, were looked
upon as impertinent. Very often the
business man, when so questioned, would
fatty refuse to answer. OF course this
fact we communicated, as in duty bound,
to the creditors, who had made, through
us, the inquiries, and the effect was not
o quiet any alarm that might have been
felt about the debtors condition. but
often al uncomfortable squeezing of the
merchant resulted. Within the last ten
years the agencies have been recognized
as powerful and legitimate aids TO the
mercantile trade, and the questions Of
our agents touching the condition OF this
or that firm are met with that
are straightforward and, in the main,
candid and satisfactory. Whenever a
business man is known TO desire a con-
cealment of his affairs, the manifestation
Of that desire creates more suspicion than
ever a lame statement.-W. A. Sisson in
Globe Democrat.

Singular Loss of Memory.

A recent medical journal gives the re.
port of a case Of singular loss of memory
in a young girl residing in New York.
Sitting in her own room one day, she
took up a package of letters which
she intended TO answer, and was
amazed 10 find that she could not re-
member the names or appearance Of any
of the writers, all Of whom were her
own personal friends.
She was calm and sane except upon
this point; her memory Of persons seemed
to be suddenly and wholly obliterated.
She hastily descended to the room
where the family was gathered for
dinner, aud found that she could
not remember q single name or
face, except that Of her mother. Her
father, sisters and brothers appeared TO
her as strangers. nor was it possible to
recall them to her. Tie faculty Of mem.
Dry of persons appeared 10 he paralyzed
1t was found by the physicians that this
singular effect wa produced by the lodg-
penl Of a clot Of blood upon a certain
,art Of the brain.
Another well known mental disorder,
which produces forgetfulness Of words,
results from abnormal pressure, or soft
ening. in another part OF the brain. The
patient frequently takes one word, sucll
as Eyes" or water, and repeats it a
thousand times. imagining that he is con.
versing with tluency and ease.-Youth''

The Annapolis Naval Cadets.

The plebs, or youngsters, as they
are also called. are at oEce quartered on
board a large, old fashioned wooden
frigate, which always lies alongside the
dock, and does duty during the school
sessions as a gnnnery ship. The vessel
becomes the residence Of the plebS during
the summer months; here they have
their first experience Of sailor life, ana
here, among other things, they first
acquire the art Of sleeping in a hammock.
IL Is truly an edifying sight TO zee these
lads on their first night struggling with
their hammocEs.
The hammocks used in the navy. you
bear in mind, are very unlike those in
which people swing under the trees in
the country. The navy hammocks are
made Of heavy canvas, and are slung
from the beams Of the ship. They are
usually hung quite high from the deck,
sc that it is not easy for a beginner to
climb into n with any degree Of grace
even If he manages 10 get in at all.
Usually the novice struggles in from one
side and goes head over heels out at the
-other-mattreSses, pillows and bed clothes
all accompanying him. After two or
three unsuccessful attempts Of this sort,
however, the grcenest begins TO improve,
and one or two weeks Of practice Is sufii-
cient to make any one an adept in the
art.-St. Nicholas.

Russe,, Sage and His Wealth.

A clew as to what disposition Mr.. Sage
proposes to make Of his wealth was fur
nished at the funeral Of his brother,
William C. Sage, last December in Troy.
He met Samuel Chaplin here, who
ried his sister Fanny, and who lives in
Oneida. Mr.. Chaplin is independently
rich, and therefore feels in n position to
say pretty much what he pleases. As
he is also quite deaf, any conversation in
which he engages is necessarily carried
on in rather a loud tone Of voice. The
conversation, therefore, which he carried
on with Mr.. Sage at the time Of the
funeral was heard by a good many peo-
pie, and the details of it have been very
industriously distributed. Mr.. Chaplin
spoke point blank:
Brother Russell, you are accounted a
very rich man. Why don't You retire
as | did and seek comfort in your old
age? What is the use of shaving along
from day to day? What will you do
with all your money!
Dir. Sage said in reply to this that very
few men had achieved marked success
in life such as he had. He was the only
n of his name who had done so, and
his great success was his glory. He was
happier in harness than he would be out
of il, and was not at all ready as yet to
~relinquish the pleasure Of accommodating.
As to what he was going To do with his
money he said that the present genera
ton of the Sages would be well pro-
vided for, and he proposed that his name
should be a monument that would en-
dure for all time. What he meant by
this he did not explain, but obviously it
shadows forth some interesting scheme
which perhaps now is scarcely formu-
lated in his mind. New York World

The Worst of All Eyes.

Somebody ought to write a novel
about people with these black or dark

so many Swiss pebbles. They are eyes
Of intensely passionate natures, strong

wrong way, the eyes Of born devils in
human shape. When such dull dark
eyes show the red light that comes OF

The most beautiful eyes in tho world

such spirits, but alasl those eyes are not
OF the long lived. Dust is over them al
most before we can say We have known

The Indians Phyviczl Endurance.

How much bodily pain one Of thes

in 1850, near this post. 1t was in the
fall of that year when the Hon. Carl
Schurz the then secretary Of the INTERIOR

ennes near Fort Keogh. The honorable
gentleman desired 10 observe the natives
at one Of their dances and feasts, and

Quoted him 10 the n%eighboring encamp-
meut. The writer accompanied the
party, which went on horseback. AS we
ncared the spot we beheld several hum
dreds of Indians squatted down on the
grass. singing, shouting and drumming.
They were not dancing just then, but
were enjoying a star performance by a
solitary warrior-a Crow lndian-some-
thing of an excruciatingly humorous
character "a highly seasoned and palata-
bic side dish in the feast, So 10 speak,
The slalwart Crow stood in the center
Of the circle, entirely naked with the ex-
ception Of the proverbial breech cloth;
the blood was streaming from a hundred
gashcs which he was self iullicting upon
chest, shoulders, abdomen, arms and
legs with sharp edged knives, handed to
him alternately by some of the Sioux and
Cheyenne braves.
The sight was too much for the some

ious secretary, and giving his horse the
spurs, he oon escaped from the disgust
ing spectacle. The attending Indians en-
joyed the performance hugely, for they
were chatting away and laughing gayly
while the horrible and certainly very
painful mutilation was going on. The
interpreter informed me that it was aD
atonement ceremony op the part OF the
Crow, who had in the preceding winter
killed a Sioux. From the same source /
learned afterward that the very height OF
the festivity was reached by the audience

Ladies' OF the sub-Treasury.

Passing the sub-treasury recently i no
ticed near the entrance a number OF
young women whose appearance was so
peculiar that it Immediately arrested my
attention. II the reader should ask me
what that popularity vas l could hardly
explain il. Perhaps it might be termed
q nonchalance or free manner that indi-
Gated disregard for observation. They
had a cool audacity which, though not
brazen, was bold enough to face any OPP
position, and though l could see at a
glance that they were not stage players,
yet it was evident that they were in
public life. and could be at home even
before a crowd. In a few moments |
saw them step up to the cashiers win
dow, where each presented a check and
drew the money, and then | learned that
they were the custom house inspectresses,
who were collecting their months pay.
No wonder they had such nonchalant,
resolute faces! These are the ONE
that eoolly order a passenger into a pri-
vate room and strip her sufficiently to
reveal fraud. These are the women who
find laces packed in bustles and diamonds
concealed in tresSes of hair, and | need
hardly say that they are the terror OF
smugglers. In a recent case they found
a passenger wearing a petticoat that
weighed twenty-five pounds, being made
double SO as to carry struggled goods.
These inspectresses are among the most
useful public servants, and they have
almost broken up the once extensive sys-
tenn of woman's smuggling, which men
could no do, for Shakespeare says, ito
make a sweet lady sad is a sour offense."

The Sound Of Thunder.

One of the most terse and succinct
descriptions of a natural phenomenon is
that recently given by NJ. Him, in which
he says that the sound which is known
as thunder is due simply to the fact that
the air traversed by an electric spark,
that is. a flash of lightning, is suddenly
raised to a very high temperature, and
has its volume, moreover, considerably
increased. The column OF gas thus
suddenly heated and expanded is some
times several miles long. and as the
duration Of the flash is not ever a
millionth Of a second. it follows that
the noise bursts forth at once from
the whole column, though for an obser-
yer in any one place it commences where
the lightning is at the least distance.
In precise terms. according TO VI. Him,
the beginning Of the thunder clap gives
US the minimum distance Of the light
ming, and the length of the thunder clap
gives us the length of the column. He
also remarks that when "a flash of light.
ming strikes the ground, it is not neces-
sarily from the place struck that the first
noise is heard. Again, he points out
that a bullet whistles in traversing the
air, so that we can to a certain extent
follow its flight, the same thing also hap
pening with a falling meteorite just be-
fore striking the earth. The noise
actually heard has been compared to the
sound produced when one tears linen. 1t
is due, really, TO the fact that the air
rapidly pushed on n side in front Of the
projectile, whether bullet or meteorite,
quickly rushes back to fill the gap left in
the rear Scientific American.

A student of the Sex.

In the course Of q discussion about the
Holy Writ, recently overheard by The
Bazaar, u lady remarked that the Bible
was n history Of men; that her sex was
rarely and but incidentally mentioned, as
compared with the space devoted ia men.
II confess" she added, "thAt It strikes
me ms being most singular, There might
