NJ. lola was, in the course of a converse
ton with an italian journalist, congratu-
lated not only on his healthy look, but on
on his comparatively slim figure, which
compared advantageously with his former
unwieldly corpulence. Thereupon the chief
of the naturalist school divulged to the
journalist the secret of the unexpected
transformation. One night. he said, he was
laborously forcing his way to his seat IL the
orchestra stalls Of a theater, when he hap
pened to be Obliged to squeeze past Signor
Rafael, the well-known painter. In doing
so, NJ. lola exclaimed: What misfort-
une it is to be stOutp SignOr Rafael does
not seem to have been very good-tempered
at the moment, for he simply replied: sit
depends entirely on yourself not TO be So"
No Offense was taken at this by NJ. lola,
but during the next entr'acte he asked Sig
nor Raffaeli what he meant. Never
drink" was the painters secret tor reduc-
ing c0rdulence. The very next day M.
lola commenced. the experiment. At
breakfast he turned his glass upside down,
and, notwithstanding the entreaties of his
wife, who feared he would make himself
i'll, refused both wine and water. He per-
severed, and in eight days he was over
joyed to find he had reduced his weight by
ten pounds. The diminution went on so
rapidly that at the end of three months he
had lost no less than fOrty-hve pounds of
flesh, and was in better health than he was
before he ceased drinking.

IRON ON A BOOM.
a Further Advance in Prices Expected
Next Month.

a Further ADVANCE In FrlCSS nApeCtco
Next Month
PrrTsBURG, Dec. 2S.-Extraordinary in
terest is now manifested in the iron market.
A further advance is expected during the
month Of January, and if there is any fur
kher increase in prices the iron-workers will
he entitled to an advance in wages Bar
iron Is now being sold at LIS cents per
Mound and it is said some sales have been
made at , cents. When it goes above two
rents. then tie on-workers will receive an
advance. The possibility of a further ad-
vance is being discussed, not only by those
directly interested, but by business men
generally.
The coke operators have agreed TO fur
Eher advance the price of coke on Jan.
from 81 rs to 81 per ton. This will have,
it is generally conceded, further stimulat-
ing effect upon the iron market Furnaces
are receiving more orders than they can
fill. The boom in Bessemer iron still con-
nnues, and there is a most active demand
reported for all grades of iron.
FEARS OF OVERRIDING A GOOD THING.
~ would not be surprised to see the card
rate go beyond two cents, remarked q gen.
tIeman closely allied with the trade. this
afternoon. ''hut there is danger OF It's going
too high. Manufasturers should look out
little; be guided by conservative views,
AID not overdo a good thing. Every
thing points to most active trade
during the next year, but the
boom can easily be punctured if prices are
advanced too rapidly. The officials of the
ainalgamated association are not anxious to
see a rapid advance They are afraid of
reaction. If the market will stand an
advance beyond the two-cenU basis, they
would be glad to see it; otherwise, in the end
it would be most injurious, and they don't
want to see it. The developments OF the
next thirty or sixty days will be awaited
with interest"
