ONLY in its utter lack OF feature, while the fuc.
tlations have been narrow, and were confined to
even SIN Her range than usual. There were q
few stocks in which the range of prices was over
half per cent. while most of the list traded in
within the range of one-fourth. The only move
ment Of Importance during the day
was sudden rSe in Reading
accompanied by a corresponding increase in its
activity Buying was entirely by brokers iden-

given for the motive, and the advantage obtain

again ana this stock declined. Even special

movements of late, were stagnanJ. The only
one of note shown was in New Albany and Chi

but again closed at a tonight. The Flint

the loss late in the day, while the Chicago and
East Illinois sold materially lower, The market
opened with a strong tone. and gains were made
in early dealing, but later the apathy of opera
tiers told on prices, and a slow sagging took the
place OF the firm tone displayed during the past

approaching April settlements WAS felt, and
money little close, going as high as per
cent.

Some Foreign Words.

One of tho fair young girl graduates who
quite recently mapped out the destiny of
the world in an essay entitled "a Dream
of the Future" has taken to writing So
ciety novels, and her latest effort, the
manuscript of which lies on the desk of
the literary editor for review, is we'll up to
the standard of current fiction. Especially
Is this SO in the selection Of foreign words
and phrases which abound in the story. It
strikes me, however, that they ere not al
ways up to the mark in the application.
For instance, ii is going q little too far,
I think, to say tk.t the rounded cheeks of
Jessica wore a beautiful sub rosa hue, and
that her hat draped in nom de plumes was
most becoming. Idon't quite sec how the
little bona fide could come in wagglng his
tail, or that the chickens could be put into
their coup d. etat. I should not care to
risk my bones galloping away on a hors de
combat, but l suppose I should be as safe
as in ordering my steak double entendre,
especially when Ich diem at 2 o'clock pre-
cisely. Finis, the end is an apt quotation.

DiscOVered by Accident.

"The most valuable thing about this
whole cal" said an electric engineer, "was
discovered more or less by accident. 1t
shows how difficult it is ever for expert in
ventors to foresee the effects of their work.
You know heretofore the great trouble has
been to get electric motors which were
strong enough to start the car without los
Ing an enormous amount of force. 1t is
easy enough to keep a cur moving after it
Is once started. The trouble is the dead
weight at the beginning. The motor on
this car can be disconnected from the axles
by turning a lever, SO that the motor keeps
going even after the car is stopped. Accord
1ngly, when the car is stopped, l turn off
the electricity, and the motor keeps NOV
ing from its W momentum. 1t is usually
necessary to start the car again at once, and
so l connect the motor with the axle before
l turn on the electricity. The momentum
of the motor starts the car and gets it we'll
under way before it is necessary to turn
the electricity on. That's one of the most
valuable features of the whole thing, and
yet it may be classed almost as a discov-
ery."-New York Sun.

touching incident connected with the
burial that is worthy of mention. When
the soldier boys were forming for the
funeral march IN old confederate soldier
in gray uniform approached the adjutant
and politely asked if he could join the
funeral procession of this union soldier.
The adjutant cheerfully accorded him that
privilege, which seemed to crafty him i'm
mensely. He fell in line and marched
along with his old. time war enemies to the
burial ground.
Frederick Burke, the deceased, was born
in Germany and was s~eventy-three years
of age; by occupation a farmer. He en-
tered the service of the United States in
the wal of the rebellion as a private in
company Q, 10th Ohio volunteers. When
mustered out in 1865 he had risen to the
title of a corporal in the same company,
when he was wounded and partially lost
his hearing. At the time of his death he
was almost totally deaf. He first joined
the Grand Army Of the Republic in Bis
marck on March 10, 1890. Adjutant Tib-
bills has been commissioned by the judge
of probate to settle what little there may

A Mistaken Notion.

1t should be distinctly understood that
the idea that ice water is injurious is a
mistaken notion, imported with other
English fads, like the docking of horses
a and tails, drawing the vowels and
the ''stony British stare" Spinsters with
chronic indigestion, stout women with
their interiors in a state of constant in
fammation, men whose stomachs are in
famed and people getting over the grip,
with Intervals weak, fevered and irritable
to an incredible degree rightly find ice
water injurious, as cold well water would
be poured over a patient In a high fever, or
rather like throwing cold water on a red
hot boiler. Cold water Is intolerable to an
infamed eye, which finds warm water
soothing, and infamed stomachs rebel
against sudden chilling draughts in the
same way, but nobody feels that cold water
is unsafe for healthy eyes or healthy

Mr.. COnkling's Favoritc Word.

A small box, with a combination lock,
was found among the effects of the late
Roscoe Conkling, and as no will appeared
among his papers it was suggested that
this box might contain the desired docu-
ment. The administrator did not care to
break the box, and every possible word
which Mr.. Conkling might have used in
setting the combination was used on the
lock, but without success. AT last his
daughter said that her father was especially
fond Of words which contained the letter
q pronounced with it's long sound. She
said her father would frequently utter the
word Rome, dwelling particularly on the
vowel, and asserting that the word was
one of the most fascinating in the language
1r him to hear. She suggested that he
might have used that word in making the
combination. That word was tried; it
proved to be the right one, for the combi-
nation yielded to it, the box was opened
and within was found the short and simple
will which Mr.. Conkling had written
many years before. -Chicago Herald.

THE CENTER OF THE WORLD.
Points on the Earth's Surface Claimed to
Be the TerIMini of the Globes Axis.

Points on the Earth's Surface Claimed to
Be the Ternini of the Globes Axis.
For several centuries different cities in
the Orient have contested with each other
for the honor of being recognized as the
mid spot of our splanet. Quite recently a
London geographer issued an elaborate
work in which he tries to prove the British
metropolis to be the center of the landed
hemispheres. Jerusalem and Delphi, not
withstanding the fuct hat neither of them
is situated on the equator, have for ages
been the two great rivals in this mid spot
discussion. William Simpson, of the Lon
don Society for Exploring Palestine, tells
us that Herr Schick has sent home draw
ings of the Jerusalem center of the world.
1t exists, of course, in the Greek Church of
the Holy Sepulcher, not in the Latin
church.
The spot is identified less by physical
science than by prophecy. 1t is written in
the Psalms, God is my king Of old, work
ing salvation in the midst of the earth"
This can only refer to the scenes of the
passion and of the holy sepulcher, and the
midst of the earth must therefore be found
where the holy sepulcher is considered to
be by the Greeks. The belief that the CEN
ter is there or Whereabouts is ancient, for
it occurs in a work by st. Ephrem, quoted
by John Gregory in reference to Noah's
prayer. Here St. Ephrem says that Adam
was buried "in the middle of the carth.r
Homer calls Clypso's Island "the navel of
the world, the center of all the seas" In
Hschylus a certain round stone in the
temple Of Delphi is the navel or enter
Of the earth, and here does Orestes take
refuge when pursued by the Eumenides.
Pindar has anticipated I1schylus here,
and after IN era Pausanius dixie Herr
Schick) had the pleasure Of seeing the only
genuine central hub at Delphi. ct Is
made" he says, "of white stone, smooth
and polished, and is the middle point Of
the whole world" Delos, as we'll as
Delphi, claims to be one of the sacred
places perforated by the earth's axle, and
probably other cities, in all ages, have
looked upon their sacred places as deserv-
ing of the same distinction. There can be
no closer analogy, however, than that
which exists between the hall Of stone in
the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at Jeru-
salem and the round, white stone at
Delphi.-St. Louis Republic.
