ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcH.1
NEW YORK, Dec. 22-The professional
element appeared to be almost entirely re-
sponsibe for what was done on the Stock
Exchange TODAY. Until the last hour or
two it sold stocks, and the course of prices
during the period mentioned indicated that
the bulk of the sales was for short account.
The stock was depressed, naturally enough,
by the strength of the foreign exchange
market A further advance in rates fore
Ehadowed exports of specie next week.
Some shipments would probably be made
on Tuesdays steamer were it not that ship
pers would lose three days interest on
them owing to the double holiday, for the
gold would have to be put ON board
O. Saturday. All of the bankers who have
been exporters of specie profess TO be re-
luctant to ship any more, but admit they
MAJ lie compelled to, if exchange is in fair
demand tomorrow and their foreign corre-
spondents insist that whatever drafts they
may draw must be covered by specie in de-
1auit OF a sufficient supply OF commercial
bills.
The fnal rally in prices on the Stock Ex-
change WAS due in part to the publication OF
q dispatch from Washington that the banks
of this city have notified the Secretary OF
the treasury OF their readiness 10 tak6
$4,000 COO to SlOO COO 600 of Government bonds
anu Iay gold for them should he decide to
make new issue. This report, which was
put out as a statement o. TACT is so absurd
that it seems incredible it should have in
Iucnced anyone.
Missouri Pacific was exceptionally strong
and closed at a fractional net advance.
Efforts to advance the price OF Northern
Pacific preferred were less successful,
though 1t closed a shade higher than
yesterday. All of the Gould stocks
were strong, a circumstance that was re-
garded as significant. Chicago Gas was cx-
ceptionally weak on further advices from
Chicago of a scheme proposed by politicians
contemplating the manufacture and sale of
gas by the city. Sugar Refining showed a
greater degree OF 6rmness than any Of the
other in ndnsrrialS.

his tired horse:
"Pll throw this onto Tobs and .ope

couple of miles; I'll be back befoss s's@

And SO, with his coat thrown over hSs
arm and his right leg curled around the
polnmel of the saddle, to rest the tired
muscles, he galloped his fresh horse
easily up the slope from the Cottonols'
to see-his child, his golden haired baby
running toward him, with arms out

0 blind coulee under the very eyes or
Jim and Ginger.
"Great heavens" cried the father as
the full significance of tho sight burst
upon him. ''Great heavens! | can't
make it! Tobe!" and voice and spur and
uuirt were put at their work, and lean
ing forward in the saddle the man
brought all the strength that was IN
him to the task of urging on the animal
The horse was good one, and he ran
well, striding to his full reach, sides and
TANKS heaving with the sudden strain,
and soon hecked with the flying foam
from his mouth, which mingled with
the blood drawn by the madly driven
spurs of his rider. But in vain! The
chance was too great, and Jack Ford
ham closed his eyes and his senses
reeled at the thought of the horrible
thing which he saw that he was power
less to prevent.
Meanwhile Jim had missed his steer
and, riding near the edge of the bank in
his search, heard Goldy's1ry at the sight
of her approaching father, and peering
over took in the situation at a glance.
Measuring from his coign of vantage the
relative position of the actors in the
scene below, he wheeled his horse and
galloped back few yards, then head
ing him toward point which would
bring him between the child and the in
furiated animal, which was so rapidly
nearing her, he gave significant shake
to the bride.
"We've got to do it, Ginger" he said.
"Goodby, old boy" and straight as a
shot the obedient creature sped-and
horse and man came hurting down with
crash that put an effectual stop to the
career of the brute below, which, recog-
nizing its old adyersaries, turned and
fed down the valley of the Cottonois.
A minute later Jack Fordha1n flung
himself from his painting horse, and
with difficulty dragged his half con-
scious friend away from the carcass of
poor Ginger, whose neck had been
broken in the desperate leap.
"Jim!' he cried, "Jim, old man! do
you know what you've done? You've
saved her from those horns and hoofs,
man! The baby! don't you understand?
Think of her mother, jim; and of me,
old man. What is it? Your leg? Well
have you in bed in the house and the
best doctor in the territory-Jim, old
friend, can't you speak to me?"

The Evolution of the Razor.

"Does it ever occur to you to wonder,
when you complain of the torture OF
shaving, how men managed to keep
their faces clean before the exquisitely
tempered steel razors of today were in
vented?" said q scientist.
"You have only to observe the ancient
sculptures to see that shaving was prac-
ticed in the earliest times The faces of
the old Egyptians are represented in
their statues and basreliefs as clean
shaved, except for the beard on the chin.
What sort Of razors did they use? No
body knows; but something is known
about the evolution Of the razor in a
general way.
ssThe first razor was pair Of clam or
mussel shells, with which our savage
ancestors pulled out the hairs OF his
head by grasping them as with pincers.
In the course of time it was found out
that by sharpening the edges of the shells
they could be ground against one another
so as to saw Off the hairs. Two keen
edged flakes of stone could be employed
for the same purpose, as the Mexican
Indians utilize bits of obsidian. AS a
rule the straight haired and scant beard
ed races today, like the North American
Indians, pluck out their boards. The
Polynesians get rid of their superfiuous
hair with chloride of lime, which they
manufacture by burning coral.
when the bronze age arrived razors
were made of that material, which has
since been superseded by tempered steel.
The latest razors are fire and electricity.
BARRIERS of the most advanced school
nowadays SINCE the hair instead of cut
ting it, and an electric needle is used to
destroy hairs where they ought not to
grow by being thrust into, the follicles,
a slight current killing the roots."-

Sorry Now That He Didn't Go Himself.

Sorry Now That He Didn't Go Himself.
A gilded youth who was too lazy or
too occupied to pay due attention to his
"duty visits" and who yet felt it was
incumbent upon him to make personal
visits at houses where he had incurred
social obligations, concluded to take his
chance of finding his friends out, and Sc
lecting tempting afternoon sent a
messenger boy around with his cards.
This modern Mercury, however, with the
peculiar obtuseness of his race, insisted
in every instance upon having q receipt
given him for every batch of cards deliv-
cred, and brought back with provoking
honesty to his enraged employer dozen
or so of signed papers testifying that the
cards had been received.
What was still worse, d couple of his
fair friends, rather quickly appreciating
the situation, took tho opportunity OF
sending him back the following: "Mrs.
A. has received from Mr.. B enc
visiting card in payment of dinner
given;" and another had scrubbed across
the paper Gull satisfaction for all social
obligations incurred. New York Trl-

THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE.

He cannot walk, he cannot speak,
Nothing be knows of books or men:
He Is the weakest OF the weak
And has not strength to hold pen.
He has no pocket and no purse.
Nor ever yet has owned penny,
But has more aiches than his nurse,
Because he wants not any.
He rules his parents by a cry,
And holds them captive by smile;
A despot strong through infancy.
A king from lack of guile.
He lies upon his back and crows,
Or looks with grave eyes on his mother;
What can he mean? But suppose
They understand each other.
Indoors and out early and late,
There is no limit to his sway;
For, wrapt in lssDy robes of state,
de governs night and day.
Kisses he takes as rightful due,
And Turlllike has his slaves to dress him:
His subjects bend before him too:
I'm one of them, GOD bless him.

Especial Correspondence

seasons past, they are as dainty as hu-
man hands can make them. There are
few ostrich tips used as trimming, and
the garniture consists usually OF velvet
or crape-sometimes both-with quill
feathers stuck in. among the bows, the
whole effect being rather fiat than other
wise. With the three models here pre-
scented any mother can trim her little
daughters hat in few moments.
White, cream, pale blue and olive
green felts are all seen. and few dark
reds and browns. But the lighter shades
and colors are preferred, and nothing IS
so dressy as pure white felt or beaver
felt hat. The manner of trimming them
can be understood at a glance The soft
materials, like surah or Grape, should
have an interlining of crinoline to make
the bows stand out stifay, and even
velvet requires the same treatment If 1t
is to look exactly as it should. Pigeon
wings and tufts, heron feathers and
curled cock plumes are all used. The
hats can be faced or not as desired, or
bound or left quite plain. Some have
the edge buttonholed with gold cord,
which is very pretty, but rather too
dressy for any but the "best" hat.
Little girls under twelve wear the hair
loose, but after that age it is confined IN

In the matter of dresses, little girls do
not now have as many as used to be con-
sidered necessary, but those they have
are very nicely made and Of good and
usually dark material, SO that one will
now do the service of five formerly.
The cheviots and heather mixtures are
the most satisfying goods for chlldren's
rough and tumble life, and these goods
clean easily and can even be washed
without spelling. The dark colored
camels' hair plaids are also valuable for
children. The pretty little home gown
in this illustration is of diagonal serge,
which is also good value for children's
wear, and it can be washed and ironed
an indefinite number Of times. This
has narrow binding of astrakhan di-
agonally down the front, headed by
neat and pretty braiding. The over
sleeves give it a very dressy effect,
while it is really very simple and easy
to make. 1t buttons in the back.
The cloak in the illustration is made
of wood brown beaver cloth, with the
yoke of Lincoln green velvet The
bands down the front are channels skin
braided in black; the cuffs are of the
same The shape of this cloak is exact
ly Mother Hubbard, with the exception
of the loose caps to the sleeves. These
are cut plain and square on three sides,
with a rounding top which is gathered
in only at the top, and can be lined or
simply hemmed according to the thick
ness of the material. Beaver cloth re-
quires no lining except the sleeves, which
should always be lined with satin or silk,
as they are very difficult to get on and
| off otherwise.

Little bits of girls wear long cloaks of
cashmere, velvet or velutina, generally
in light colors or white, though gray,
drab, green and light brown are also
seen very often.
No mother now considers her tender
little one sufficiently protected against
the cold without flannel l.eggings that
are made in the form OF tight drawers
gings also, but not in same form. Boys
have the pretty yellow leather leggings
made SO popular by the Faqntlcroy.
They are most comfortable, and l.. the &C
tive little legs have perfect freedom
without danger from snow or wet.
Pea jackets for boys OF f. all u. 81 sizes tor Tor
everyday wear are preferred to the most
elaborate coat, They keep the bodies
warm and leave the legs free' winch Is
a great consideration.
