New YORK, March ST. Special Telegram
TO THE BEE. l-SToCKs-Th stock market
started this morning as it closed yesterday
strong and advancing. Nothing occurred
over night to change the hopeful feeling in
the stock market, and first prices were
generally from q to Is per cent higher than
last evenings figures. The neavy buying in
Reading continued, and on large transactions
that stock was run up to 3S16 against 3756
last night, and although other active stocks
were not advanced 80 sharply, fractional
gains were scored all over the list. Sugar
was less active and failed to recover much
from last nights decline and after
ward retired to below its first
price. Early dealings were attended by
considerable activity in leading stocks, out
when the first demand had been satisfied the
influence of the expected bad bank statement
was felt ana bears were enabled to wipe out
the gains in some of the list, Rock Island,
Missouri Pacific, Louisville & Nashville and
Bitumincus Coal shares being conspicuous.
The bank statement was the bear influence
that it was predicted Reserves decreased
for the week over 81 600, 900, loans decreased
50, ,4S0, 900, specie decreased S2 4S0000, and
deposits fell off nearly sSOOO,0O0. This was
the turning point in the market. Prices de-
clined to the close. Reading felt the weak
ness least and closed q higher
at 3S4. Sugar closed a point
off from the opening at 66s4,
Burlington, after touching 1O5, closed at
1O45s. Northwestern touched 11O4, closing
at 1905. Rock Island. st. Paul, Missouri
Pacific and Union Pacific each lost the ad-
vance of the first hour and closed 4 to y
per cent under last night The money ques-
ton again hides all others in its Importance
and the bulls feel discouraged over this fea-
ture of the market. -fl,

Irreeu,ar STRAIN on Boilers.

One of the severest tests of the
strength of steam boiler is due to the
unequal expansion and contraction of
its different parts, owing to the effects
of changes in its temperature, says the
Safety Valve. In the case of flue or tubus
lar boilers, IN which the flues or tube
are more directly exposed to the in
fluence of heat than the she'll, the
strain thus developed is tremendous, the
tubes or tlues, or their material, ex-
panded lengthways with force calcu-
lated to tear the heads off the boiler.
Where the tlues are placed very near
the bottom of the boiler, in which case
the pressure is all on the lower side of
the heads and the plates that keep
them together, it is not unusual for
these plates to be ruptured or the seams
sprung underneath, causing troublesome
and often dangerous leaks.
The smaller the proportion of the
surface of boiler that is exposed to the
heat, the more active will be the effect
of the expanding and contracting forces,
and in the case of some boilers set more
than half exposed to the influence of
the atmosphere the tremendous power
exercised by the expansive heat of the
fire below, and the contraction due to
the low temperature above, are almost
enough TO tear the boiler to pieces.
1t is the unequal expansion of shell
and tubes, OF the upper and lower she'll,
that really does more injury to steam
boiler than the expansion and contrac-
tion due to the changes in the pressure
OF steam; the leakage and cases of rup.
ture that so often occur in the lower
seams and along the bottom of horizon
tally-fred boilers are unquestionably
due to these causes, and in very many
instances forced firing in getting up
steam on first starting the boiler is to
blame.
To avoid the injuries so often caused
to boilers in this manner,i is necessary,
therefore, to exercise great care in
raising steam in new boilers, or those
that have been blown out and allowed
to cool down. The fire should be raised
moderately and gradually, and the
boiler moderately filed with water, SO
that the increase in temperature may
be gradual, In cooling of boiler the
same care must be exercised. The plan
adopted by some engineers of turning h
stream of cold water into the boiler Is
soon as it is emptled cannot be too Sc
verely condemned, nor should the fur
mace doors be suddenly thrown open, or
any other proceeding taken which will
result in suddenly lowering the tenn
perature, a rapid decrease in the heat
being quite as bad for safety and dura-
bility OF the boiler as the moderate and
and unequal increase above referre dto.

I was sitting quietly by my fireside
one winter evening, writes corre-
spondent of Youths Companion, when
my curiosity was aroused by hearing a
sound not unlike a canarys warble. but
much more subdued, which seemed to
come from under the fender.
The sound increased in loudness,
changing from the warble to rapid
succession of bell-llke notes, rising and
falling as the notes were more or less
rapid, and sounding clearer than q
birds and far softer and sweeter.
| gently lifted the fender and was
just in time to see little stub-tailed
mouse, of light-browu color, pop into
hole under the sill.
Every night for six months was sung
to sleep by my little warbler, who got
to be on very intimate terms with me,
and would run around The room and
pick up stray crumbs or sit upon the
fender and sing his plaintive little
solo.
Once or twice he climbed upon my
bed, where he sat on his little launches
on the foot-board and sang for an hour
or more.
He was finally killed by trap set
against orders by servant, His fate
was bemoaned by every member of the
family.

Victoria (B. C.l Times: a we'll known
old Caribnoite named Gabriel Mills
came near meeting with an untimelv
end few days ago while mining on
pension bridge. He had been running
a drift into the bank and got in about
fifteen feet when the bank caved in,
covering him with about five feet OF
earth. Neil Black, eX-superintendent
OF the wagon road, together with a
friend, CHANGING to pass close by had
their attention called by the antics of
Mills dog, which was scratching and
growing at the mouth of the drift.
On their coming up the little dog dis

they perceived that the mine had caved

heard muflled groan, and immediately
concluded that Mills was buried UNDER

proceeded to dig the man out. After
two hours hard work they brought him
to light. Beyond sustaining some Sc

Not far from Berlin is Charlortenburg
where there is great palace with splen-
did gardens. The German fathers and
mothers take their little ones to see
wonderful sight in these gardens,
through which winds the River Spree.
Now, in this same river is a quantity
OF carp, and 1t is to see them leed-and
to feed them-that the little Heinrichs
and Gretchens love to go to Charlotten-
burg. These carp are very aged, some
OF them, and as cunning as possible, for
when certain bell rings they all come
rushing in shoals, knowing perfectly
we'll that it is their own dinner bell;
and they are never disappointed, for
the public delight in feeding them.

swoon or scream or gointo Mysteries, or
do any other ridiculous thing? Not
she. Adriotly passing her hand down
over her dress, she located the little
"virmint" and held him fast till the

its final amen, when she quietly and
deliberately retired to the adjoining

venture, of whom all had been blissfully
ignorant, several ladies came near

There are still some towns in Maine
which neither the railroads nor the
summer visitor has yet invaded, says
the New York Sun. In such town
the greatest event is wedding or
funeral. In little village on the up
per Penobscot the monotony OF long
winter was broken by the funeral of the
year-old child of one OF the church
deacons. The whole town poured out
to the funeral services, They were
ushered into the parlor, and there sat
with an air of sorrowful expectancy,
waiting for the ceremonies to begin.
Something had gone wrong, and the
guests grew impatient. Finally the
deacon appeared at the door. His face
was long as he said:
MY friends, excuse this unseemly de-
lay. We have mislaid the corpse.'
After much trouble the object of their
search was found. The little coffin had
been placed on table in the hall,
whore it had been forgotten by the be-
rcaved family, and the guests as they
entered had thrown off their wraps
upon the table, and thus the oversight
was caused. The corpse being found,
the services proceeded as usual.

A unique piece of handiwork has just
been completed by Mrs. Sophia Lara
more, of Waterburo, Con-, who is now
approaching her SEVENTEEN year. 1t is
a mOrtuary wreath In memory OF her
husband, who was dead nearly five
years before the curious symbol was be-
gun. She made 1T of the relics Of her
late husband and of articles which were
the property Of the wives who preceded
her. The frame is OF putty, into which,
while soft, the widow placed, among
others. the following articles: In the
center of the top cross piece are the
spectacles of her late lamented and a
small vial containing the pills which
were left over from his last illness. Be-
sides these, there are many small stones
which he had treasured during his
life, his jack knife, Il piece of candy
buttons Of all kinds from his clothing,
and small bottle containing cheese
made by mis- first wife. All of this col
lection is labeled, as, for instance:
"The smelling bottle used by the
wife before me-" Inciosed in
the frame is q picture of him whose
memory the wreath is supposed to per-
petuate. The wreath above the por-
trait is composed almost entirely of
flowers and leaves, each OF these made
either OF some portion of his coat, waist
coat, trousers, neckties or suspenders,
and worked together artistically. The
shirt in which he died is honored by
having made from it snowy bird, too
wonderful and strange for description.
Just outside the wreath are placed sus-
pender buckles and watch chains en-
twined with the hair of the mother of
his first wife. Some of the hair from
his own head has been made into ten
drills and the stameu of one Of the
flowers is of the material that lined his
coffin. On another side of the wreath
is bunch of raisins he bought her the
winter before he died, saying: "Now,
don't cook any of these, but eat every
one" Balancing the raisins are three
wires, each supporting one of his teeth,
and behind them is the last toothpick
he ever used.

A citizen of Greensboro, Ca, who is
in the habit of setting trap in the din
ing room to catch rats, hearing a queer
noise there q few nights ago went down
to investigate. He reports the state of
things thus: about dozen small
mice had been caught IN the trap.
This was surrounded by forr or five big
rats, who had dragged it to one corner
and were holding a consultation. AS
looked in, alarmed by the light, they
hurried their preparations to a close.
One of the big fellows seized the door
of the trap between his teeth; another
seized him by, the tail; another and
another quickly took hold; sudden
pull was given, and quicker than can
relate the door flew back, the mice
scampered out, and before 1 could walk
across the room old rats, young rats old
mice and young mice had disappeared,
leaving the trap IN the corner with the
door shut and every vestige of the bait
gone"
