In recent Mexican letter Frank G.
Carpenter says:-"Young girls are called
pollitas, or little chickens, and old girls
are Familiarity called pollas, or grown
chickens. 1t is needless to say that the
Mexican dude, as rule. prefers the poll
litas. The men have their nicknames as
well as the girls, and they are known as
gallos or gallinos, and this, strange to
say. is q Mexican expression meaning
young or old roosters. This. however, is
not so much different from our own Gus
tom. for do we not contemptuously apply
the name old rooster to the men we
think but little of, and is not one of our
most endearing terms for girls that of the
duck. The senorita natures much earlier
than her American sister. She is as old
at thirteen rs our girls are at eighteen.
and the law provides that she may be
married at fourteen. AT twenty-five she
begins to verge on old maidenhood, and
at thirty she is passe. Mexican women
age very rapidly, wives are Old and fat at
thirty-hve, and l see but few women with
gray hair Mexican marriages are often
arranged by the parents, and Mexican
courtship Is hollow mockery as far as the
young man Is concerned"

Nerve waste is somewh of new field
of consideration for people of studious
habits. People think that the supply of
vital energy is inexhaustible, and that re.
pair goes on as fast as waste. Then
comes a crash and they are puzzled.
They should not be. Nerves should be
economized as carefully as a bank
account. You cannot get out what is
not put into the nerves any more than
the bank Sleep is natures way of wind
ing up the machine. When we begin to
get sleepless he nerves are then exhaus-
ted, and some form of nerve depression
is near at hand. Railroad travelling. even
in sleeper. is not like bed. Rapid
mental work for short hours is better
than long struggle to do mental work
when we are weary.

SOME GENUINE SURPRISES IN FIG
URES AND BUSINESS.

The End Better Than the Beginning
Prices Take a Little Tumble, Which Is
Improved by Buyers-No Trouble to
Sell On Concessions.
The outcome of the market yesterday was
something of a surprise, as were also some
of the figures. The first two calls were
slow and utterly featureless. The last was
full of snags and business.
The market went Off without any apparent
cause other than what might be accepted as
DISPOSITION of sellers to meet the views of
buyers. There never has been much diff
Guilty to sell on concessions.
With a fair support, the drop in Philadel-
phia Gas was difficult to understand. Has
the supply given out? was asked more than
no change in conditions. The promise Of a
good supply for the winter had not been
withdrawn nor modified. Some one wanted
ready money,
at 1lsS sold up to 1115, and closed at 1l5s, with
the demand unsatisf1ed. 1t was said all
three of the mills were at work with good re-
suits, but nothing definite was given out.
The promised statement is overdue.
Following the general trend, Electric
weakened trife on news that Boston was
rather bearish. Switch and Signal improved
a fraction. 1t was stated there were orders
for several hundred shares at s, The result
of the meeting of stockholders at Swissvale

strength was in Central and Pleasant VAL

THE STOCK MARKET WAS VERY IR-
REGULAR YESTERDAY.

Some Shares Higher, bnt More Lower
Heavy Foreign Buying-Among Special
| ties Are Union Pacific, Ontario and West
ern, Kansas and Texas and Reading.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The stock market to-
| day displayed more activity than for long
time, but at the same time it was irregular
| in its movements, the bear and bull forces
| distributing their strength unequally over
| the list and while some stocks this evening
| are materially higher Others are lower, and
| the majority is with the latter.
| The great feature of the early trading was
| the heavy and apparently enthusiastic buy
| ing for foreign account, but advantage was
taken of this demand by many domestic
holders to realize on their stocks, and a
| feverish and generally strong market was
| succeeded by a slow but steady depression
in the afternoon.
| Union Pacific was the special point of at
tack for the bears, the only reason given for
| the selling being rumors of a forthcoming
| unfavorable statement; but quantities of
other leading stocks, including some of the
Vanderbilts, were thrown upon the market,
| and hence most of the active stocks are
| slightly lower as the result of the days oper-
| tions. The effect of the stories in regard to
| the securing control of the Ontario and
Western by the New York Central was again
seen in the former stock, but realiZations
prevented any material advance In it. Kan
sas and Texas preferred was another es-
pecially strong point in the list, and both
the common and preferred were unusually
active for them. Late in the day, however,
Reading became the chief bull card on the
expectation that upon the dissolution of
the pool in the stock it will be in demand
and the dealings in it will be more wide
spread and its value in the market enhanced.
After Union Pacific, which was strong in the
early dealings, the Grangers were pressed
for sale most urgently, and many of them
show large fractional losses for the day.
The market finally closed active and heavy
to weak at small fractional losses from first
prices as rnle. The final changes of note
include advances of p per cent in Kansas
and Texas preferred, ~ in Reading, u in
Ontario and Western and 1L in Cordage,
while Burlington scored loss of per cent
