Reckless Financiering.

We have been accustomed to regard the
financial men of London as cautious and
conservative, and one of the most famous
and conservative houses down to a year
ago was that of the Barings. One would
have been inclined to doubt the soundness
of the Bank Of England almost as readily as
that OF the Earrings, and when the news
came that this famous house had been
specializing recklessly In South American
securities of a very insecure kind there was
universal surprise. The shock to public
confidence was so great that if the other
banking mediums and Institutions OF Lon
don had not come to the relief of the
BariDgS and saved them from ruin, there
would have been panic which would
have extended all over the world. Quite.
recently we learned that other so-called con-
servative houses in England and France
have been specializing in these South
American matters, and it is not atall impos-
sible that the panic which was averted at
the time of the troubles of the Earrings has
only been delayed for time. How any one
who gives a careful study TO the South
American Governments can have any
faith in their promises or any conf
dence in their financial system l am at
q loss to Imagine. Revolutions are alto
gether too frequent tn give any guaran-
tee Of solidlty to their bonds and de-
bentureS, and every new Government that
comes in makes haste TO repudiate all that
has been done or promised by its predeees-
sor. Most of the Presidents of these re-
publics attend more to enriching themselves
and their friends than to the good of their
people, and when they leave their offices
they usually hasten to Europe partly in or
der 10 escape the meshes of the law and
partly to enjoy the fortunes they have Sc
cured through til sir official positions. The
English and French bankers know or should
have known all these things. but somehow
they ignored them in consequence of the
ling of the so-called securities. Insecure
ties they should rather be called and bubble
inSecuritieS at that.

A Horse in the sulks.

In fashionable boarding stable in New
York is horse called Tatters. He belongs
to lady. who makes great pet of him and
never visits the stable without taking him
some apples, carrots or sugar, of which he
5 extremely fond. In a neighboring stall
is the horse of her friend, an animal reiOic-
ing in the name of Phil. Tatters and
Phil are on good terms, but the
former sometimes throws his ears back
and manifests jealousy when his mis-
tress, after giving him an apple or a carrot,
gives one to Phil One day she went into
the stable while Tatters was in the hands of
the groom. He began begging for an apple.
aud she deferred the gift until the groom
had finished his work and the horse had re-
turned TO his stall. Meantime she gave an
apple to Phil. When Tatters had gone to
his stall she offered him an apple, but
he refused to take it. and turned
his head from her in disgust. For half
an hour she coaxed him, but to no
purpose. Then the groom tried to induce
him to take it, and then another groom
made the same effort but all in vain. Take
the apple he would not nor would he recog-
niZe his mistress in any way. His ears
dropped and he had the appearance OF child
in the sulks just as much as a horse can pos
sibly have it. His heart was broken, not so
much because an apple had been given to the
other horse, but because it had been given
before he himself had received one. But by
the next day he seemed to have forgotten his
grievance, and you may be sure that his
owner has been careful not to offend him
since in the same way

COBWEB PARTIES.
A Game Where All Find Prizes and Fun and
Food for Reflection
A cobweb party is great fun.

A cobweb party is great fun.
1t is work, tOo-work for the amiable and
inventive hostess and most tantalizing and
pleasurable work for the investigating
guests. 1t is as exciting as a chase. with
the game just beyond the tips of your fin
fiers. or the reach Of your gun.
At first it seems as if one were trying to
catch will-o'- they isp or find the bag OF
gold at the root of a rainbow. In fact the
effect of the gay yarns, wOrsteds or ribbons
whichever one chooses to use), crossed and
recrossed and interlaced and interviewed, is
not unlike very beautiful rainbow, which
has at the end OF each bright strand a real
prize. Not the traditional bag of gold to be
sure, but anything from silk ell shoestring
TO diamond pin, or Il book, or picture, or
anything and everything that ready, in
ventive faculty, artistic taste or fun-loying
fancy can make or devise.
Cobweb parties have juvenile sound, but
they are not for the enjoyment of rOllicking
youngsters; but for the diversion of those
who have learned, as the years increased,
TO rein in their animal spirits and TO take
their pleasure with certain amount of
Self-cOutro.
So the hostess knows as she weaves her
cobweb of ribbons for her party, that no
matter how often they are twisted and in
tprtwlsted by her there will not be any fear
OF them getting into hopeless tangle.
She takes as many strands of w0rSteds or
yarn or ribbon as the number of people she
has invited, and faStens at one end of each
strand prize. Some of the strands are
yards and yards in length and some are
short. The prizes are snugged away in
hooks, under chairs. behind pictures, up
stairs, down in the cellar or up on Shelf
The different strands are crossed and woven
and interviewer into the airy threads of
cObweb. The ends are within reach.

superintendent, so that If a wreck occurs at
night the whole force can be called at once,
just as city firemen are called from their
engine-house to fire. With such facilities
for concentrating the wrecking-crew, not
longer than ten minutes is required to put
the train in readiness for start to the
scene Of an accident
The wreckiUg service of the Southern
Pacific Company consists of a wrecking
train and crew for each division on the sys-
TEN. The train Is made up of three cars, as
rule, although more are sometimes re-
qulred, the amount of repair material neces-
sary to take to the scene Of accident depend
ing OF course upon the extent of damage
These ears are known and designated as the
derrlck-car, the block-car and the derrick
tender. The first is an ordinary flat-car.
carrying derrick with lifting capacity of
from eight to ten tons. Besides this the car
carries all sorts of tools for iron and wood
work. Next to the derrick comes the block
car, which contains everything necessary
for the construction Of a new car, besides
blocks OF all sizes and shapes which may be
found useful in clearing a wreck. The
derrick-tender is long. heavy box-car and
contains almost everything from cooking
utensils and sleeping accommodations to
hydraulic jacks and broom wire. There
are ropes and chains of every size and
length, jacks of ten, fifteen and twenty
tons capacity; transfer jacks small-screw
jacks and jacks without small screws. There
are Observation-Disclosures ranging from seven
eighths of an inch, with three-inch sheave,
up to large iron blocks capable of taking Il
six-inch hawser.
There are shovels. spades and picks, a
complete set of carpenters tools and every
other known tool and appliance that can be
OF assistance in clearing away wreck.
This car also contains sleeping accommoda-
tons for about half dozen men, and
kitchen apartment provided with a COM
plete cooking outfit. A store of provisions
is always kept on hand. The wreckiBg
crew is composed of from ten to twenty
men, as the case may require. though
much larger force is kept constantly in train
ing for emergencies. The men selected for
this duty are employees of the shops or yard,
either car-repairers or carpenters, and are
chosen on account of special qualifications
for this kind of work. When a wreck
occurs the time required for calling up the
crew and putting everything in readiness
for start does not exceed five minutes from
the time OF receiving the message from the
