Jaw GOuld's Tricks.

Jay Gould at one time owned half
the capital stock Of the Western Union
Telegi aph Company. Until a short
time ago he had about $40, 100000. It
is stated that he has about half that
amount at present The way he came
to decrease his holding was character
istic.
La the operation the street" gener-
ally LANDED" on a rise which stopped
and became decline before the figure
that the points were for was reached.
As those who were caught tell it, a
pool in Western Union was formed, it is
variously stated, of from 5000 TO 49,
600 shares. Gould was to take one
fifth of the stock in the pool. The
stock was down at fifty-three when the
first buying began. The point was that
the stock was to go to sixty-five.
The shorts began to cover and the
street" began TO buy around sixty for
profit on the long side. Gould sold.
through brokers. to both the pool and
the traders. The pool did not know
that it was getting Gould stock, but
supposed that Gould was holding in,
and that the clique was taking the
street" stock and would soon make it
scarce.
The stock reached G3I, and before
anybody could say Jack Robinson it
was back to 80, and everybody was
landed except Gould. He had got
rid of q lot of stock at better prices
than the market would have afforded
in any other way, and he could, if he
wanted TO, buy back at lower figure.
This is one of Gould's tricks.
He will take nm interest in pool
which is formed to buy loose lots in the
street" and thus make the stock scarce,
and will secretly sell to the pool from
his own holdings. He can do this with
out detection, for the reason that as ex-
planned, the most of the stock is in
other peoples names.-Mr. Gru,ldU.

Though tho phrase "too thin" as
ordinarily used by schoolboys and 9TH
ers, may now be styled vulgar, the
words may be used in perfectly ortho-
dox manner. "Thin" is equivalent to
transparent" easily seen through
and, as a metaphor, seems to involve
the aid of a veil (such as the ancients
call rentus tex Ills, or woven wind"),
which served to display as much as to
conceal the person. 1t is in1this sense
evidently that Shakespeare used the
words in king Henry WILL" act ".
scene 2, where the King says:
You were ever good at sudden Communications
Bishop Winchester. But come not
TO hear such fiattery now AN In my presence
They are too thin and bare TO hide offenses.
That is, Your concentrations are too
transparent to hide your offenses.
Another instance of the use of the
words may be found in Smollettf
novel of "Peregrine Pickle, published
in 1851. When the hero suddenly in.
forms his lady-love, Amelia, that he is
going abroad, the tears gushed into
her eyes, and she was at great pains to
conceal the cause of her grief by oh,
serving that the tea was so scalding hot
as to make her eyes water. This pre-
text" says Smollett, was too thin to
impose on her lover, or to deceive the
observation of her friend Sophy.
There is nothing vulgar in saying that
pretext is "too thin" and this il
what is meant by the modern elliptical
phrase

Encounter with a Lion.

Thrilling was the escape of Lieu
tenant Frazer in his encounter with a
lion at the base of the mountains of
Lokinga, near Lake Bangweolo, where
Doctor Livingstone died. He was told
by one of his attendants that wound
ed lion was lying apparently dead on
the root of tree. Frazer sent the man
with his second gun back few PAGES,
and knelt down TO look Just then the
lion roared and came at him from about
eighteen feet off He fired when the
lion was within six feet of him, giving
him both barrels. The first shot
knocked out the beasts right eve; the
second hat him on the chest. The next
instant Frazer found himself lying in
front of the lion, one claw hooked in
his right leg, the other on his chest.
Fortunately the blood from the wound
ed eye obscured the liens vision, and
for an instant he hesitated, and in that
interval the attendant fired at him.
The lion jumped Tor the man and
caught him by the leg, and Frazer
promptly sprang to the resue. The
gun, containing one charge, was ly-
ing within yard of the lion, fortunate
ly on his blind side, and Frazer crawled
toward it. 1t was fearful feat, but he
finally laid his hand on the gun. AS he
did so, the lion turned bis head, and
Frazer fired, with the muzzle of the
gun actually in the lions mouth. He
gave but one kick and died, and
Frazer tainted on the body of his at
ten&ant.

Gum for Nurses.

Chewing gum has been laughed at
decried and abused long enough. 1t is
proposed to start boom for gum right
here ON high moral plane.
How do You manage to keep awake
all night long?" said 1 to a lady who
has had to sit up beside a sick bed for
many days and nights recently.
81 chew gum!" she replied, with a
very serious air.
"Truly?'
"Yes-so long as you're chewing guid
you can't 60 to sleep. Professional
nurses have found out this virtue Of
gum, and j know from experience that
no matter how drowsy and weary / nay
be, sleep never over overtakes me so
long as / have gum in my mouth"
No particular kind of gum is desc nib
ed, and the chewed gum can be Eept

An Extraordinary Combat.

The Natal (South Africa FITNESS
tells this tale of one of the most re-
markable comhats on record Us occur
ring in the vicinity of Table Mountain :
:" A troop of cattle, consisting of twelve
COWS and patriarchal old bull, were
grazing on one of the plateau-like
spurs of the mountain, which is sur
rounded on three sides by precipitous
ravines and on the fourth side-that
nearest the mountain-by dense bush.
Some natives, higher up the mountain,
were attracted 10y the sudden believing
of the cattle, and saw two enormous
pvthons coming out of the bush and
making for the cattle, which had drawn
themselves up in compact group, with
the bull at its head. As the pythons
drew near the animals gradually backed
till they stood on a small space that
jutted out over tremendous preeipice.
At this stage sudden rush was made,
but only one heifer succeeded in es-
Gaping. The other cattle, bowling in
the most piteous manner, gradually
backed, and one by one fell over the
precipice, till finally the bull only was
left. He suddenly charged at the big
python, transflxlng the reptile on his
horns, but the second snake seized the
bull in its folds, and, having its tail
around huge bowlder, mmenced TO
crush the bull, which struggled fran
tically to escape The tail of the pv-
thon lost its hold of the rock, but the
larger snake, which had slipped off the
horn. tapping it's tail around small
bowlder, opposite the one the other
snake had just released, seized the bull
and compressed the animal in its scaly
fold. The other python succeeded in
regaining its former position, and the
bull was literally suspende ed in mid-air
by the snakes. This position W Is main
tanned for about minute, and then,
with crash. the whole three were
hurled into the ravine below, and, of
course, oil killed. The pythons were
measured, and found to be respectively
40 feet and 36 feet inches"

Did you ever spend any time watch
ing people at work in other occupations
than your own?
If you have, you have doubtless
noticed that the same daily grind, the
same monotony, the same wearied look
were all there. In other words, work
is work, and that is what life is made
up of.
The clerk in an Office, the merchant
in his store, the mechanic in the shop,
the laborer on the strests, all get hearth
ly sick and tired of the daily humdrum
of life. AT their tasks, all of them,
from early morn till night, day in and
day out, with holidays only AZ rare in
tervals, is it any wonder?
The American people know how to
work, but they don't know how to rest.
They are mistaken in their ideas about
the value of time; five minutes earlier
to work and ten minutes longer at the
task are all important, but half-holi-
day once q twelvemonth rs a thing not
to be thought of 1t is rush and hurry,
toll and struggle, like race for the
Derby, full speed from post to finish.
Nonsense Why not take life a little
easier?
Every person who works hard and
earnestly should have at least a half
holiday once week. / verify believe
that employers would get more work
and better work out of their help if they
gave them a half-holiday each week.
At any rate, the employee who would not
do more aud better work under such
treatment would not be worth having
anyhow. i should like to see move
ment started to secure "The weekly
half-holiday."- Il Pritckard, ia

Household Economy.

From "How to Live on a

Besides the purchase, care and prep
aration of food, one must remember
that there are hundred other ways Of
economizing in the household. Time,
to the housewife, is money, conse-
quently, purchase such material as will
save both. One cannot afford to beat
eggs with fork, when, for ten cents,
. beater can be purchased that will do

Keen TO the Right.

A quaint lesson in economy was given
by an Englishwoman of wealth and
position to an American friend. 1t
related to the method of preserving a
stair-carpet, and to keep 1T in its en-
tirety as long as possible. She and
her husband had agreed, the one TO
keep always to the right in going up
and down, and the other to walk only
upon the left-hand side of the carpet.
1t was expected that the company
would keep exclusively in the center
of the stairway. and that. as result of
the arrangement, the stair carpet would
grow old With equal rap;dity.
