REVIEW

REVIEW.
New YORK. March 29-To days stock
market has firmer tone, but the trading
was chiefly in about half dozen stocks,
Reading doing about q quarter OF the
mornings transactions. The large cover
ing of shorts helped to advance prices
and London bought the granger stocks
during the opening hour.
To morrow being holiday and Mon
day being holiday in London there was
disposition to clean up, so, barring a
couple of hours trading Saturday, there
will be but little done abroad until next
Tuesday.
The coal stocks sold off triie on re-
ports here, and in Philadelphia on ru-
mors of disagreements regarding produc-
ton of coal by the Lackawanna on one
hand and the Reading and the Lehigh on
the other.
The market held strong until the last
fifteen minutes dealings, when there was
concerted drive by the traders at the
entire active list.
Money WAS bid up to and per cent,
but Immediately reacted to 3 and 4 per
per cent, and in the final trading there
were fractional gains. Closing tone firm.
Money is plentiful and cannot be held
any length of time above or 4 per cent.
Take ii altogether, the bull side was the
popular one to-day and the opinion pre-
vailed that the bottom had been touched
for the present at least.

Cholera In Calcutta.

Many of the tanks have no connecting
streams, but are filled by the enormous
rainfall in the wet season, and are stag
nant pools, breeding malaria and cholera.
AS in Bangkok, this dread disease is
always here, the statistics ascribing 10 it
several deaths every week in the year,
and running up above fifty or perhaps
100 without being called an alarming
epidemic. Foreigners seem to pay little
attention to it, and several have told Inc
we pay a ridiculous if not cowardly atten-
ton to it when 1t shows a disposition to
visit our shores; that, with the present
knowledge of its proper treatment, it
could never become scourge in Europe
or America il the people would only re-
strain their alarm.-Carter Harrison in

An AIliCator's Intestines.

w. b. Bland, OF Georgia, sportsman
Of scientific turn Of mind. has thrown
light upon subject concerning which
most people have heretofore been in dense
overwhelmingly, the internal construc-
ton of an alligator. In the south the be-
lief is quite prevalent that allgators
swallow lightwood knots to live on dur
ing their long sleep in winter. Mr.. Bland
shot a gator on Ty-Ty creek the other
day, and proceeded to dissect it in order
to find out whether or not the belief re-
ferred TO is we'll founded. Much to his
surprise he found that there was nothing
whatever in the stomach or intestines OF
the sauran. More than that, me discov-
cred that the intestines were very small
and almost as hard as bones, and that the
hollow in them was very little larger than
q broom raw.-Chicago News.

The Beggnr and His Victims.

Strangers i'll the city often wonder Why
beggars let hundreds of others pass by and
stop them with an appeal Tor aims
Naturally they come TO the conclusion
that the beggars are highly gifted in dis
elimination, know stranger on sight and
so on But that is not the true eXplana-
ton of the mendicant's astuteness. The
secret lies in the fact that the stranger
looks at him. Tic New Yorker knows
quite well that if he looks he is lost. The
beggar takes the look as a sign Of interest
and follows it up until he extracts the
coveted coin Sometimes he dances along
by the side Of his victim quite nimbly for
half square or more, holding his dirty
open palm directly under the recoiling
noise of said victim. One who does not
pretend to see beggar Is rarely accosted
by him.-New York Press Every Day

A Woman Named sherman.

Shortly after the war closed the negroes
began TO call each other "lady' and 'geute-
man. but in speaking Of the whites they
generally called them that man" and that
woman" An instance occurred few years
ago in which Gen W. T. Sherman played a
part The general was sitting IN front OF his
house one pleasant evening with some
friends, smoking and talking, when fellow
as black as the ace of spades sided up, and
addressing the general said: SIS de a lady
here named Johnson" mo" said the
general. "Well, said the darby, Il think
there must be lady Of that name living
here, because she is my wife, and she is work
