Uses of SOapstone.

A writer in q London journal calls at
tention to the unappreciated uses and
preservative qualities of soapstonc,
material, he says, which possesses what
may be regarded as extraordinary quail
tiles in withstanding atmospheric inilu-
ences, those especially which have so
much to do with the corrosion of iron
and steel; it being we'll known fact
that the inside of q steamer which is
not exposed to the action of the salt
water, like the bottom, corrodes much
more quickly than the outside. 1t has,
too, an additional quality in this line,
one which adapts it in remarkable de-
gree as protective point for ships, and
this is the extreme tinehess of its grain;
indeed, ground soapstone is one of the
finest materials producible, and from
experiments made it is found that 70
other material is capable of taking hold
of the fibre of iron and steel so readily
and firmly as this. 1t is also lighter
than metallic pigments, and on this ac-
count, when mixed as a paint, is capa-
bic Of covering a larger surface than
zinc white, red lead, or oxide of iron.
In China soapstone has long been
built of sandstone and other stones
liable to crumble from the effect of the
atmosphere; and the covering with
| powdered soapstone in the form of paint
or some obelisks in that country com
posed of stone liable to atmospheric de-
terioration has been the means of pre-
serving them intact for hundreds o.
years.

that there would arrive as many cattle as

day was slow from the opening to the close,
the market closing weak, with large num-
bcr left over. AS to prices the general report
was that lower range than yesterday was
the rule, put how much lower was not so
easy to get at, some statesmen quoting good

NEW YogK, June 20.-[Special Telegram
TO THE BEE. E.l-SToCKs-As on yesterday,
the activity in stocks was early confined to a
few stocks. Among these were st. Paul,
Atchison, Rock Island, Union t'acitic. Read
ing and New England, The action of the
market the first hour included slight rally
mt the opening, sharp decline in the
grangers and the coal stocks, followed by
second rally, which, however, did not cause
prices to regain the opening figures. The
first prices were imp owed from the close
last night, from a TO 96 per cent Reading,
Burlington ana st. Paul showed the best
gains. slight further improvement was
made when the weakness of last evening
appeared, and everything retired below the
opening figures Union Pacific losing q per
cent; Lackawana and Missouri Pacific, "a
each; Reading, Rock Island and Atchison, "
each, and the others smaller fractions. In
the reaction which followed prices recovered
most of the losses before IL o'clock, and after
that hour better tone prevailed and further
fractional advances were maze, which nut a
few stocks at better than the opening
figures. Trusts, which were not active early,
became more animated toward noon, and
sugar trusts bulged to ll41H, and Oregon
Transcontinental moved up to 81. AT noon
the market was active and strong ut the best

prices of the day not long before the close,

Cattle.
Thursday. June 90

- IHUTsuUy, JUHt 70,
There were too many cattle at eastern
points and the markets there were in too
unsatisfactory condition to admit of the mar
ket here being sustained, although the re-
ceipts were light. The trade was very slow
the shippers being tmid buyers and the
packers not seeming to want many. While
some were calling the market sc lower than
yesterday, others 5Gol0c lower, and
still others fully l0c lower, all were
were agreed that the market was 25c lower
than Monday. AS q matter of course good
butchers stock would not show any such de-
cline, although it is lower. Choice native
feeders have not declined 10 an appreciable
extent, being scarce and in good request, but
as much could not be said for light and COM
mon stockers.

THE DIRECTORY MAN.
He Has Certain Questions to Ask and
He Asks Them Anyway.


The champion unconscious funny man
is out in Avondale, where he is getting
the names and statistics for the new
Hamilton county directory, says the
Cincinnati Times-Star. Yesterday he
called at the house of young couple
who have seen just two summers and
winters pass over their heads since the
law and the gospel made them one.
"How old is your husband?" asked the
directory man OF the wife.
"Twenty-slx."
"And how old are you?"
"Twenty-four."
"How long have you been marriedP"
"Two years"
Then in the same cold, far-away,
official tone, he asked the next question
on the printed list:
''Have you any grown-up children"
The young wife nearly tainted, the
effort was SO great to suppress the hys-
terical laughter that possessed her soul,
but she managed to say that their only
child was still, in the nature OF things,
a baby.
This story is almost equal to the tale
of the man who took the census in Col
lege Hill. He called on a family where
there were twins, and, after being told
their age, he blandly ana unthinkingly
inquired of the dumfounded mother
whether they were born in the same
state. He had followed his instructions
to the letter, but In so doing had
thrown common sense overheard.

The Bachelor Gets the Pile.

About ten years ago some wealthy
young woman of Berlin formed an anti
marrying club, each member pledglng
herself not to marry under penalty OF a
fine of 1000 marks. The club started
with twenty-three members, and soon
had thirty-one. Then an epidemic OF
marrying broke out, and the marks
began pouring into the treasury as the
fines were paid, This year at the gen
eral meeting there was but one member
left, and she had 2s,000 marks remain
ing of the paid-up fines. BY advice OF
the ex-members this sum was divided
into two parts, one to go to the Berlin
hospitals and the other to the last mem
ber.

A WOMAN FIGHTS A MAD DOG.
Miss Mary Skates Terrific Encounter
With N Rabid Animal.

Thursday white-and-b -brndle dog,
under the sway of hydrophobia, passed
through Lafayette between and 6
o'clock a. M, says the Layfayette ga
Messenger. He held his course rs far
rs Trion. a distance OF twelve miles,
where he turned back and was killed on
jeff Harris farm, the Willbanks place,
three miles above Trion, at 1880 a. m.
In his mad raid tho dogs that are known
to have been bitten are William Nc
Clatchey's, John Partain's, Mrs. Mi

After passing A. j. Sosebeo's shop he
left the road and took through the JEFF

Will Harris had quit work and started
to dinner. Will was the first to see
him and give the alarm. Thinking she
would save hcrself by flight he hurried
away. She was afraid to turn from the
dog: and began to back off from him.
In his first attack he snapped her on

age she seized him with both hands by
the throat and bore him to the earth and
held him between hor knees. Kiusey

mile off, when he heard the cries, un-
hitchod his mules and ran to the res
cue. The handles of three hoes were
broken by him in his effort to dispatch

his feet, and continually growing worse,
although he had been treated by two pbysic-
tans. asa la resort, l determined 70 try
