Catching tho Public Fancy.

| have an acquaintance who earns u
handsome living, with money to spare, by
inventng new devices of all kinds likely
to catch the eapricioas public fancy. He
has invented toys, bats, advertisements,
inks, pens, pencils and | know not what
else, and Is now concentrating his energies
upon novelty In stationery. The de-
mand for new styles and shapes in fancy
stationery is constant. Any oddity, how
ever eccentric in color, size or form that
IL may be, is certain TO go, What he pro-
poses is to presumably put upon the
market black paper aud envelopes, to be
written on with u white ink, He has per-
fected his device, he AYERS, and expects to
reap "a handsome fortune by it. For per
sons in very deep mourning, especially
those who have lost wealthy relatives
who have remembered them in their wills,
IL should certainly possess unusual
attractions, As we have had every otheI
color in stationery but black, nothing
viii, | suppose, remain after it but for him
to invent some substitute for paper "a

Scarcity of wild Animals.

"Another thing which has affected the
business . good deal is the growing
scarcity of certain kinds of wild animals,
and the closing of some OF the depots for
their collection and expectation. Nubia
and upper Egypt, for example, for a long
time were the great headquarters for the
supply Of giraffes, elephants, hippopotami
and the double horned rhinoceri, with
many other wild animals, but since the
troubles there, subsequent to the death of
Gen. Gordon at khartoum, absolutely
nothing has been received from this
region, which is now barred, for an indeti
mite period, by the impending Italo-Abys-
siniau war. And then again the depots
in South Africa are beginning to close be-
cause the hunters have to go such i'm
mense distances before they can reach the
latrs of the wild animals, hundreds of
miles from their former haunts. The
cause Of this is the determination of all
kinds by the 50 called sportsmen, who pour
into that region like they did into the
United States when the buffaloes roved
the plains. New York Evening Sun.

Scarcity of Buffalo Robes.

Much has been written about the ter
nble loss of life in the northwest during
the blizzard being due to the scarcity Of
buffalo robes, which contribute the only
defense against the rigors of that country.
1t IS true that u buffalo robe or coat is
now beyond the reach of those with
slender purses, and it is true that for GER
tam purposes the buffalo hide and fur are
superior to amy others. This leads me to
the suggestion that if some of the great
cattle kings of the west would give up
rilslhS cattle and go into buffalo farming
lhe would find it an immensely
pronIaole business. Not only would
every hide obtainable find a ready sale.
but the meat would find n market in The
cities, and the refuse of the carcass could
De made into the dozen articles of profit,
aole commerce that the steer now affords.

For twenty-five years, and even longer.
Mr., Bergh has devoted his energy and
wealth to the amelioration of the coudi-
ton of the dumb creation. Since that
time he has seen the modest society which
he founded, and of which he is still the
president, become one of the strongest
benevolent organizations, not only in this
city, but in America, for there is now
hardly state in the Union which does not
contain kindred organization. In thirty
seven states and territories laws forbid
ding the i'll treatment of animals have
been passed, and in thirty-four of them
societies to carry out their provisions have
been organized. Canada, Mexico, Cuba
and several South American countries
nave aided the good work by organizing
societies, and the passage of laws is GER
tam to follow. Very few men have ever
lived to see the work which they started
grow TO such colossal proportions, and
there Is no other reformer now living who
has witnessed the spread OF Is ideas over
SO vast ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Northrop.

sen.,tivcness of VAN street Men.

A wealthy Michigan, worth 81, GOO, 900,
paid his first visit to Wal street recently.
He makes this comment: What inn
pressed me in Wall street is the apparent
sensitiyeness of the men there to exhila-
ration or fright They make me think Of
a flock Of pigeons on a tree or in a barn
yard You raise your hand and, whoop
away they go. Some little report came
into Wall street the day was there, and
whoopl away went the bulls and bears
like flock OF scared pigeons. If l had
scared SO easily never would have made
any money"
A few minutes later this same man said
that he was getting his business into such
a shape that after he was 60, which would
be three years hence, he could occupy his
time in cutting coupons.
"Then,' said another gentleman, "when
you begin to cut coupons you Will be one
of that flock of pigeons. The scariest
pigeon in the world is the man who has
turned his business into stocks and bonds

Plant the trees in your parks that

them along your streets, that up through

Plant them in cemeteries, their shade

San Francisco Market Review.


SAN FRANCISCO. March 13-Tradng is excel
lent now in asparagus and new rhubarb. Large
consignments Of vegetables were received this
morning. The quality of the products ict cived
is first-rate. For choice asparagus 15c isr- dily
obtained and for good 12c per tb is paid. All
young rhubarb is looking we'll, and goes,, sily
for Zoe per 10. Another load of tomatoes was
received this morning, but the quality of + e
vegetables was nothing extra, and dealers TIC
handling.them tenderly. Receipts of potato
were comparatively light, there being 53l
sacks received from California points and 1900
sacks from Oregon. There was no material
change in prices.
Eggs were the same although there were some
transactions in choice lots at 12c advance over
general prices for first class.
The wheat market was stronger. The demand
for export is, however, light, owing to scarcity
of tonnage. Shippers will pay $3.50 for stand
ard goods, with the usual advance for choice
lots. Barley is quiet, and prices for feed de-
scriptions are weak and lower, owing to a de-
cline on the call board. Oats are dull, supplies
being heavy and demand light
