equally as dUll and interesting as that of yes
terday. The progress made by railroad presi-

their properties t divdend-paying basis did
not meet with any response from spectators OF
the street. and the market still waits for pro
nOunced action, and dealings remain almost
purely professional. This insction caused
much disappointment on the street, and had it
not been for liberal foreign purchases W ak
market would probably have not succeeded.
There was no weakness apparent, no Tever,
even with the prevailing dizziness, aud traders
at one time thought that they detected buying
from Gould sources bat little evidence was
shown that any large interest was doing any
thing, but there was a slow but steady harden
ing of values, which carried prices in some
stocks up as much as per cent The improve
ment was most noticeable in graDgers and
those stocks oversha1owed all the rest of the

Curiosities Of Punct uation.

The following specimens of curious
punctuation were given by the Prin-
lcrs' Register: A man who was sud-
denly taken sick "hastened home
while every means for his recovery
were resorted to. In spite Of all his
efforts. he died in the triumphs Of the
Christian religion" "A man was
killed by q railroad car running into
Boston, supposed to be deaf" A man
writes: I'VE have decided to erect q
school-house large enough to accom-
modate sou scholars five stories high. y
On certain railway the following !u-
minous direction was printed: ''Here-
after. when trains in an opposite d.
rection are approaching each other
on separate lines, conductors and en-
gineers will be requested to bring their
trains to dead halt before the point
of meeting, and be careful not TO
proceed ill each train has passed the
other" A steamboat captain, adver-
tising an excursion. says. "Tickets.

Sensibility to Pressure.

The relative sensibility to pressure

tanned by placing weights Of the same

that the parts which have the keenest

veloped. The smallest weight which
can be perceived 10 three one-hun.

The Deadly OvcrcOat.

The Lane thus protests against the
ipdiscrimin ate use OF thick and heavy
overcoats: I'VE would rather see men
in fairly robust condition. especially if
young, clad warmly next the skin, and
wearing either light top coat or mono
at all. There can be no doubt that the
habitual use of great coats is Indirect
ly accountable for the chills which
they are intended to prevent Were The
overcoat worn continuously it mi ght
attain its object. Its intermittent use.
even when ample underclothing Is
worn. affords no solid guarantee Of
safety, but rather the reverse.
The man of sedentary habits has es-
pecial need to remember this. He
energies daily from q warm breakfast
room clothed in his ordinary winter
garments, with probably woolen under
wear, and over all the heavy ulster or
top coat After a short walk he finds
that the sense Of warmth he began
with is more than maintained. He
arrives at his Office or place OF business
and of goes bis OvercOat, though the
air of the newly opened room 10 Is
cold as that without and draughty in
addition. During the day perhaps he
travels TO and from adjacent business
houses wearing only his house cloth
ing. The Overcoat is laid aside till
closing time reminds him Of his
journey home.
The frequent result is that somehow,
between the hours Of his departure
and return. he Is chilled. No doubt
he would run az great risk II, lightly
clad, he were to face the rigOr OF q
winter day. In this case. however.
exercise and habit might do much "
develop the powers Of endurance. and
there would, at all events, be less
danger of sudden cold acting upon q
freely perspiring surface.
WOolen underclothing represents .
state Of healthy comfort intermediate
between these extremes and more re-
sistant to chill than either.

Cats By the Carload

"When ] was living in . steamboat
town on the Mississippi" remarked a
old man in BARRIERS shop . few days
ago, ''there was Q fellow who put up .
very neat job on the inha bitants, against
whom he must have had some terri
bic grudge. He came into the town one
day and distributed handbills right and
left, taking special pains TO put -
many Of them ~ possible into the
hands OF farmers who had come In to
sell their grain.
That was before the railroads came
to take business away from the rivss
towns, some of which had an immense
trade. The place I was in had 5000 or
5000 habitants. and WAS tho shipping
port for oil the grain raised for miles
around, as well - the place where the
farmers obtained oil their supplies.
The last time was there it had dwin.
died down to . village of 1900. and
perhaps by this time 1t has no exist
ence at oil, even on the map.
These bills that were 90 freely scat
tered about stated that the advertiser
had contract with . certain steam
boat company for furnishing . large
number Of cats to destroy the rats and
mice that were very numerous about
the warehouses at different landings
along the river. He, therefore, offered
$S for each full-grown Tom cat q for
each healthy female puss and 80 cents
. head for kittens old enough to get
their own living. All the cats were TO
be delivered at q certain place In the
town on Thursday evening-the night
that Q particular boat wns due.
Well, that Thursday afternoon came.
and the streets of tho town were Just
covered with people. They came In
wagons. on foot and On horseback, and
every person carried . sack, some oi
them several.
BY evening between three thousand
and four thousand cats had been
brought into that defenseless city.
They were left in and about . vacant
building near the landing. The man
who was to purchase the cats was no.
where in sight The country people
were making inquiries for him every.
where. A crowd Of boys, attracted by
tho caterwauliDg went to the old
building and began amusing them
selves by untying the bags and letting
out the cats. OF course the cats be-
gan fighting. and raised noise like
ten thousand demons Suddenly .
stampede occurred and the animals
rushed pell-mell into the crowd. crawl.
ing over people, jumping and fighting,
and climbing walls and roofs In mad
race for liberty. The boys took after
the cats and the men Joined in, deter
mined to rid the town Of the feline In.
vaderA The next morning there were
. good many stray cats seen about In
back yards and q good many dead
ones lying 10 the streets and alleys.

dead cats In the river. The man who
perpetrated the joke was never seen In
the place, luckily for him. -Iinsburg

I.ottis Solves . Great Mystery.

The rector was . very genial old
gentleman and always taught the
small children in the Sundsy-schooi.
One day he. by request. handed the
class over to his young nephew, who
undertook the duty very willingly.
The subject was Jacobs dream. All
went along smoothly until. in an un-
guarded moment he impulsively asked:
"Children, why did the angels walk
up and down the ladder instead Of
fyinga" Profound silence. Crhe young
man confessed when he came home
that he no sooner asked the question
than he was compelled to acknowl-
edge his inability to answer it, At
length one small child held up her

Ancient Oaks in Connecticut.

Prof. Daniel G. Eaton, actuated in
part by the falling Of Woodbridge
famous oak before the destroyer's az.
has been lecturing in the mechanics
course In North Sheffield hall at New
Haven on oaks 10 general and Connect
icut oaks in particular. Among other
things Ia q very interesting lecture he
said that the best cutting timber from
an oak comes at the age OF $50 years.
After this the tree rots at the core faster
than it grows outside. There are $50
different kinds of oaks 10 the world. of
which thirty-seven are common to the
United States. In Connecticut, says
the New York Sun, there are twelve
varieties. The state has seven varieties
OF white oaks. All Connecticut oaks
belong to the section with the cup
whose mouth is wide enough for the
acorn to fall out With most of the
others the cup incloses the acorn.
"The largest and most famous oak
shown to u.s." he says. "was the Char
ter oak ON the Stewart estate at Hart
ford. Two hundred and one years ago
it was large and ancient tree. Tue
historical connections which have
made it famous are we'll known. On
Aug. 70, 1856. a great storm swept
over this part Of New England aud the
aged tree was blown down. 1t was
then 100 or 800 years old. The event
caused much excitement A dirge
was played by the army band and
bells were tolled at sunset. 1t was
thirty-three feet in circumference and
thirty seven men could stand in its
cavity at one time. 1t was proved to
be white oak by its leaves and by
other signs
In speaking of black oaks Prof.
Eaton said the Woodbridge oak was
one OF this kind. 1t was an ancient
landmark, and was cut down because
it was feared that some of its branches
might fall on somebody some time.
When the tree was cut down, although
its girth was 27 feet, the entire heart
of the noble tree was found tO be gone.
A mere shell. 6 to II inches thick. only
was left. He believes that the Wood.
bridge oak was not more than 4OC
years old, although he used to think IL
was 1000. The Charter oak, he thinks,
was much older.

My siren g.h was giving out, and
felt that the end was not far OF.
When again looked back the dog
was not more than 800 yards away,
and the base of the hill was still mile
of.
A spasm Of terror seized me. but to
my surprise the great brute suddenly
sat down on his launches and howled
pIaintively. 1t was minute or two
before he found the trail again.
II his malady had dimmed his sight

Everything WAS 10 whirl. Some.

But my race was nearly run. Even

The girl was riding like the wind,

The man eater came bounding on,
and Sallie rode straight At him like .

lassO over and over around her head,
and-but it WAS too late-I could hear
the dog painting behind me!
A wave Of darkness rolled over me
as 1 fell 70 the ground, just as ! heard
something swish through the air.
But was upin minute-just in time
to see my rescuer give a pull that
tightened the lasso about the dogs
neck. A few commissions and the Cog
was strangled-dead within six feet OF
me.
My thanks were cut short by the ap-
pearance Of q light wagon driven
by one Of Bottoms neighbors. who
offered to take me back to t,e ranch,
an invitation not to be declined under
the circumstances.
SaI!ie Bolton rode on ahead. and
when reached the house her father
was waiting to congratulate me upon
my escape.
"It was Pedro's work, he said. He
unlocked the door and set the dog on
