CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Monday, May l3-p m.
little buying for foreign account in the early
dealings and a speculative demand for Chicago
favorites gave the stock market an appearance OF
activity today The total business was less than
200, 900 shares, about the daily average last
week. ST. Paul was foremost in every respect and
IL closed at the top price, with an advance OF l-S
per cent. The suggestion that o close corner was
contemplated was not accepted as credible, and
there were no indications that the short interest
which has been borrowing the stock for more than
year, was disturbed by the advance. The other
Granger shares moved in perfect sympathy, and
Northwest, Rock Island, and burlington and
Quincy were unusually sctive, scoring final gains
Of about ! per cent The Southwestern stocks
seemed 10 be an impeachment but Atohison rallied
3-S and Missouri Pacific l-S per cent The coal
shares were dull and firm and the advances OF la
per cent in Lake Shore and l-2 In Erie were
probably more significant thar the larger changes
in more speculative properties.
The contest in Oregon ana TranscOntinental WINS
carried on with great spirit but although tho stock

Control OF the stock may still be held in Wall

Getting Our Oar In.

The British Government some weeks since advertised for bids for furnishing oars for use in the naval service of the United Kingdom. Tho contract was to be large one, and Toledo, Ohio, company sent in bid and captured the job for which all tho oarmakers in the world had competed.
 A Commercial representative called at the works and inquired the number of oars specified in the contra t.
 ssIt calls for 24O, 900 lineal feet, was the response. "They are the regular English oar and vary in length from eight feet six inches to eighteen feet"

The Mexican Wasp.

The Mexican wasp bears the same re- lation to tarantula that kingfsher does to hawk. A hawk preys on chickens and small birds, and king fishers, that are little birds, will kill a big hawk. A tarantula will kill the most pugnacious birds and beasts, but a Mexican wasp will make short work of tarantula. A traveller in Mexico tells the New York Sun all about them. In five seconds after the wasp has entered the spiders den the tarantula will bo dragged out as butcher sdrags dead porker out of pen. But the wasp's poison has not killed tho tarantula; simply put it in trance. It is now effectually embalmed alive. Sometimes the tarantula killer drags its victim milo distant, although the spider is many times the wasp's bulk and weight. Then it punctures its victims body at the base of ono of its hind legs and lays an egg deep in the opening. The wasp then digs hole in the ground and buries the tarantula. When the egg is matched inside the spider the result is most voracious grub, which at once be- gins to eat it's way out of its storehouse. It is as if the spider had been kept on ice, nice and fresh in all its flesh and juices,

The Envelope Industry.

The envelope is comparatively mod ern invention. When postage was cal culated on the number of pages in a letter, such a covering as an envelope could not be used, and it is only with in the last half century that practical success has been achieved in this i'm portant industry. Now the sales of envelopes in the United States realize at least $25, 900 day at wholesale prices. Over 300 patents have been granted for envelopes and machinery for manufac- turing them, and the latest idea is to fix the mucilage on the envelope itself in- stead of on the flap, so that the person licking the latter can escape an overdose of gum arabic, or some one of the numerous sticky substitutes which the scarcity and increasing price of that useful, if sticky article, have called into being. So far, this new idea has not realized for tune for the designer. The Govern ment combination letter sheet and en. velope-a great convenience to drum mers and other travelers-is really not an advance at all but merely an imita- tion of the most primitive efforts. The price at which the Postal Department supplies stamped envelope is so low that in order to compete with it the diff ferent manufacturers cut prices until a regular war was declared. Finally they got tired of fighting and selling at a loss, and after buying up the most in-
 aispensable of the patents they formed trust and ran prices up little. But the advance was so reasonable that there has been comparatively little kicking, and the very fact of the trusts existence has been we'll nigh lost sight off, Globe Democrat.

Jay GOuld's BOdyguard.

Just as shade begins 10 drop over the west side of Fifth avenue, New York City, very small, dar k-whiskered man can sometimes be seen pushing along up town, his glittering eyes fixed straight ahead, general air of perfume
 toriness in his movements as if he was walking simply to create an appetite for dinner. It is Jay Gould on his way home from business. By his side walks a big, square shouldered individual, an unmistakable "bruiser," the protector of this physical atom, who has more enemies perhaps than any other man in the country. And hated most by men who simply know his name, which to them is the symbol of tyranny, the red rag which enrages tho bull. Little, penny brained creatures go into Wall street with nothing but thousand dol lars to warrant their doing so. They watch their money fade to nothing, and then they want to kill Jay Gould. The children of an ill- paid switchman on some Western rail : road know nothing more of New York than that fiend named Gould lives somewhere within its limits, and they believe that when a knife sinks in be tween his shoulders, and not till then, will the gloom be lifted from their home. Gould and his protector are un- doubtedly prepared to meet any attack that may be made. The former has lived long enough to throw mock her D. ism to the winds--to take openly voiced sentiments as they arc spoken,
 and he knows that if financial crisis should arrive in this country tomorrow the natural inclination would be to set him upon an eminence and make a sieve of him. So the little hundred poun d man, when he walks abroad, has with him bodyguard, and Idoubt not very good-sized pocket arsenal. Not one person in hundred recognizes him as he goes along, for, in spite of the fact that he has been caricatured by the comic papers as much as any man in the country, his face and form are so insig- nifcant that he passes by withoat even being noticed. = Ohjcoys Herald.

The Sugar Tree of India.

Every part of the tree, in fact, is of use, the timber being hard and strong, close and even grained, is used for the wheels of carriages, railway sleepers, etc. The flowers when dried have some- what the odor and appearance of sul- tana raisins. They are produced in enormous quan titles in March and April after the old leaves have fallen, and be- fore the new leaves have appeared the crop rarely fails. The feshy flowers fall off and cover the ground beneath the trees, and are gathered eagerly by the natives every morning during the towering season. A single tree yields from 200 to 400 pounds weight of
 flowers. They are very rich in sugar, and y.eld when fermented large quan- tiy of spirit, as much as six and one- sixteenth gallons of proof spirit per hun- dredweight having been obtained from them. The spirit is manufactured to a great extent in India, and it is said that the Government receives quite a large amount for duly on the spirits distilled. The flowers have from time to time been placed before important distillers in England, but owing to a peculiar flavor being developed-caused, it is thought, by the persistent stamens, which it is difficult to remove from the flowers the spirit distilled has never been brought into consumption in the British market Ch0nbers' Journal.

Used the Letter as a Pass.

"You have ofton heard of the case, l suppose" said railroad man, "where magnate wrote to farmer to movo his barn off the railroad land, and the writing was so poor that no ono could read it, and the farmer used the order for pass, the signature being recog- nized by the conductors. I do not know how true the story is, but l will tell you similar instance, the truth of which I swear to. When Judge Grinnell was receiver of the Iowa Central Road a man wrote to him for a pass, stating no req sons why he should have one. The Judge became indignant and personally wrote to the applicant, giving him 8 mild roasting. No ono could make out what the letter meant, but with tho Judges signature attached it was con- sidered as an annual pass, and was used as such for nearly nine months. have seen the letter myself"

Grass.

Oh the joy to lie alone
 In the amorous arms of the grass; And to watch the white clouds as they
 pass By the languid zephyrs blown, Like squadron of ships on shoreless sea In the ocean of Paradise over me. Oh, the joy to lie and dream for an hour, Folded in grass like happy foweri It is here the whispers come
 From the odorous, emerald lips From the depths where the honey-bee
 dips With wild delirium,
 Into glittering goblets of nectar brewed By the stars on their heavenly altitude For the stars that bloom on earth ill the
 day, Girdling the green with milky way. Would you taste of Heavens There, In the lap of the blossomed-starred sky, In the grove of the grass go and lie When the Summer scents the air;
 Go and listen and learn from the grass
 how sweet Is the Eden that stretches beneath your
 feet;
 For the angel host that speak to you so Went to their graves in the winters snow. Oh, the gladness in the world
 When the trees clap their myriad hands At the exquisite sight of tue lands In their summer verdure furled!
 For the souls of the delicate grass awake From their graves, and nelodious music make; And lie and dream it is even thus Heaven at last shall be shown to us! Frank D. Shermaa. in Independent.
