The stock market was again intensely
dull and without feature of any kind other
than the continued weakness in Chicago
Gas. which was sold freely by the bears"
and scored a tinal loss of rs per cent. An
other increase in the bank reserves shows
that the tendency in all important finan-
cial centers is in the direction of easy
money at lower rates. The improvement
in the position of the associated banks,
however. had no immediate effect
upon the stock market, and dull
ness and stagnation was the only
characteristics of the general list
throughout the session. The opening was
from Is to II per cent. higher than the
previous nights figures. but the pressure
upon Chicago Gas begun immediately. and
while 1t was powerless to affect any mate

Little Use for Flying Machines.

Flying machines are among the neat
possibilities-an enthusiast might almost
say probabilities. Man may yet har-
ness himself into light, tough frame
work of aluminium, and, compelling the
electric current completely to his will,
mount the ether like lark or cleave the
clouds like an eagle. But the world has
as little practical use for flying machines
as it has for the North Pole. Scientists
would be deeply interested in them; the
rich might conceivably use them as
luxurious play-things; adventurous
cranks would play mad pranks with
them, not "before high heaven" but in
high heaven; and the managers of the
agricultural fairs and Fourth of July
entertainments would hail them with joy
as the Legitimate heirs to that old favor
ite, the balloon ascension. But the
spectacle of a perfect flying machine to-
morrow curving its graceful spiral above
the New York Exchange need not shake
by a ripple the watery instability of the
most dropsical railroad stock in that
hydropathic centre. The mass of man.
kind will live and move forever upon
earth's surface. The power that binds
solid substances to that surface will never
be defied or evaded to any beyond the
most limited extent.-North american

Picture Framing.

Picture framing seems to have fol-
lowed the upward and onward move
ment of all present art work, and has
now attained to the dignity of an art
itself. This is as it should be. How
often paintings and engravings are
ruined by injudicious framing every one
who has taken the trouble to investigate
knows very well. One of the first
things to be considered in the selection
of a frame is the subject of picture.
For studies of peasant life, "The An
gelus," for instance, elaborately carved
and heavily nodded framing is unsuitable
and overpowers the picture itself One
of the most attractive frames for Breton
peasant group had roughly carved farm
ing implements on an antique oak frame !;
there was no varnish nor careful smooth
ing of the carver's work, and thus the
frame possessed the artistic charm that
surrounds Venetian glass; where every
piece comes directly from the hand of
the designer, and can no more be du-
plicated than sunset or frost land
scape on a window pane. Another, a
Dutch interior, "The Burgomaster's s
Family" had curious frame of pale red
and blue tiles surrounded by carved
molding of time polished and darkened
oak.-Boston Irdceler.

Large Fee for, Medical Attendance.

Probably the largest fee for medical or
surgical attendance ever paid in New
York was the sum Of 800, 900 to DIR.
Willard Parker, about fifteen years ago,
for an operation in wealthy family resi-
dent near New York. The case was one
of goitre, a rare affliction in the United
States, at least among native Americans,
although far from uncommon in France
and Switzerland. From the side of the
face and the neck hung large fieshy
sack, hideously disfiguring and making
life a burden to the heir of several mil
lions. He carried the outgrowsh in a
black silken bag, which hid it from view,
but did not render less conspicuous the
fact of its presence. The young man ap-
pealed to the surgeons of highest reputa-
tion in France and London; but they
made an examination and concluded that
an operation would result fatally. Then
he turned to the well-known American
surgeon, who consented. 1t is said to
have been most arduous task of surgery.
But the patient lived, and without the
deformity. Under the circumstances the
fee does not appear to have been too
large.
But if New York leading physicians
and surgeons receive large fees from the
rich, they more than make up for this
good fortune by free attendance on the
poor, not only at medical institutions but
also at the houses of PATIENTS Chicago
