BEEF CATTLE.-The market has not been
active at any time to-day and toward its
close was very sluggish. The quality gen
orally was as good as that Of last week S
offerings. The extreme tops were scarcely
as good as they were, but there was but
little difference. Quotations were on a

thought a greater decline was accepted,
but not for the extreme tops. We quote
the range az 81 OOa4 -, most sales were at

STOCKS-Wall street to-day showed
every indication of having recovered from
both the Chilean war scare and the Mis-
souri, Pacific war. The tone OF tO-day's
market was therefore the reverse of that
of Yesterday, and from the opening there
was an excellent demand for stocks, while
offerings were comparatively light. The
coal stocks were one of the most prominent
features of the day. The very liberal buy
ing by the West, however, made the Gran
gers the leaders Of the move
ment, and the advances were very
large all through the active list and
even the InGustrials, which have of late
been the weak points in the market, fol-
lowed the list. The strength OF the mar
.let was such, however, that no stock had
power 90 effect the remainder The market

Treed by a Bear.

Information has reached the city of
the exciting experience of George Allen
and Mike Flynn, two prospectors, with
a cinnamon bear in the mountains a
short distance from Red Cliff. The mel
were on a prospecting tour and well
armed. AS they were eating breakfast
they were paralyzed to see short dis
tance away and coming toward them IN
leisurely manner, attracted by +he
odor Of the bacon they had just cooked
huge bear. Allen advised fight, but
Flynn could not resist the temptation to
use his Winchester. Taking careful
aim, he fired.
The ball struck the bear in the neck
and with a roar he rushed for the
shooter. Flynn fled for his life, with the
bear in hot pursuit. Before running far
he was fortunate enough to find a tree
with low reaching branches. Grasping
one of these he swung clear off the
ground just as the bear came jumping
up, escaping with claw in the left leg.
The bear attempted to follow, but was
finished with shot in the spine from

..c.1xiofs of Ahxssinia.

In Abyssinia political offenders and
obstructionists are arrested, chained
and placed on the small table land OF
Abba Salama, a high, rocky and precip-
itous mountain about thirty miles from
Adowa. So sheer and steep are its
sides that the prisoners are drawn up
by ropes. Their chance of escaping is
impossible, unless they run the risk OF
dashing themselves into eternity on the
rocks below. On this lonely height
there is soil on which they may grow
grain, and there are wells with good
water. There is no speaker to keep or
der, and they may, if they choose, abuse
the prime ministers and crowned heads
to their hearts content, but they return
no more to the ways of the world

Duststorms on the Atlantic.

Ships crossing the Atlantic in the lati-
tude of the Cape Verde islands often en-
counter duststorms of longer or shorter
duration. One of the most remarkable
of these paradoxical storms swept down
on the German steamer Argentine in
the summer of 1889. 1t lasted for four
days, during which time the air was SO
full of dust particles as to make high
MONDAY almost as dark as the darkest
midnight. When the "storm" was at its
height the sailors were kept busy SHOW
cling the dust from the steamers decks.
The machinery was made to work with
great difficulty, and at one time the cap
tain, j. G. Scheon, had grave apprehen-
sions that they would be dashed upon
the Cape Verde reefs.-St. Louis Re

Paying Women the Same as Men.

The school board of st. Paul has abol-
ished the distinction of sex in the mat
ter of salaries. Hereafter the women
teachers will receive equal pay with the
men. In establishing the schedules of
future compensation for the teachers of
the high school and the manual labor
school no sex distinction is made. Here
after it will be purely question of ca
pacity, individuality and efficiency. The
schedule adopted reads:
Grade 3-First year, $3.50; second
year, $1,000; third year, 81 900; fourth
year, $1,100; fifth year, $1,100; sixth
year, 1,200.
Grade 2-First year, 81 200; second
year, 81 100; third year, 81 ,206; fourth
year, $1,000; fifth year, $1,40O; sixth
year, 1880.
Grade First year, $1,000; second
year, $1,000; third year, 81 400; fourth
year, $1,000; fifth year, $1,000; sixth
year, 81 ZOO; seventh year, 81 800; eighth
year, 81 300; ninth year, $4,000.
Thus, no matter whether the teacher
be man or woman, the salary for the
same service will be identical. Boston

Two boys, not quite In their teens, got
into quarrel in Twenty-third street.
near the Fifth Avenue hotel. the other
day, and after exhausting their respec-
tive vocabularies they fell to pu1nmeling
each other viciously. They were Of the
tough species, both physically and social
ly. Their altercation naturally attract
ed much attention in that thoroughfare.
and score or more persons stopped to
watch the conflict. Nobody showed any
desire to interfere until along came a
bright and breezy tailor made girl, walk
ing as erect as a soldier and with a
quick, springy step. She took in the
fight at glance, and stopping within
an arms length of the combatants she
commanded them to desist. Each boy,
with scant breath, conveyed to her in a
rude, slangy way his desire that she
should mind her own business.
whats that you say?" said the young
woman, as she stretched out two gloved
hands toward the boys. .sMind my own
business, eh?" and the next instant the
two hands were drawn back with a
vigorous jerk, with boy dangling from
each hand. With firm grip on their
coat collars the athletic girl knocked
the heads Of the bellicose boys together
as easily as if she were handling pair
of three pound dumbbells. Then she
shook out what little breath had re-
NAMED in the lads and threw them
away from her, one toward Fifth avenue

Ancient superstitions.

The ancients peopled all distant lands
with monsters and all distant seas with
horrors. Unknown and distant coun-
tries were, to their superstition, peopled
with ''gorgons, hydras and chimeras
dire" The distant seas were filed with
monstrous dragons and serpents, OF
which the sea serpent is today, perhaps,
a survival. The unknown oceans were
filled with whirlpools that sucked in
mariners, who were sacrilegious enough
to approach them, to an awful death.
Perhaps these superstitions, as much
as any one thing, kept the world for so
many centuries an unexplored and un-
known waste.-Y Yankee Blade.

Animal Wisdom.

In moving to q new place Of residence
we found on the premises a large cat
which had been left there by the former
occupant. She was not of the real do
mestic kind, but lived principally in the
barn, occasionally venturing into the
house to obtain her food. On one oc-
casion, much to the surprise of my wife,
she came up to her and mewed several
times, turning each time toward the
door leading ito the barn. This she re-
peated until Mrs. N was induced by
curiosity to follow her, when she led the
way to a barrel half full of straw, up
the side Of which she climbed, all the
time mewing and looking at my wife,
and there were five kittens, cold and
dead. Mrs. N remarked, "They are
cold and dead, pussy" and the cat went
away satisfied.
She would sometimes scratch the chill
dren, and we were fearful she would
seriously injure them, and one day /
said in her presence that 'I would shoot
her," She was missing for about six
weeks, and of course had then 'sgot off
the notion. Forest and Stream.

Indiyiduality in Umbrellas.

There is an individuality about UNI
brellas, taking them all along the years,
that is a most interesting study. The
big, clumsy green cotton umbrella which
is the heirloom of the old fashioned fam
lily is unmistakabie in its domesticity.
The somber black umbrella of the par
son is the very essence Of respectability.
The demure, unsophisticated umbrella
that is always getting lost or hiding be-
hind the doors never survives to old
age. The jolly round umbrella that
never loses its head in a Irritation with
the wind is an esteemed member Of the
family. The combative umbrella with
cruel beak runs amuck with the pop
ulace, and not infrequently kills it's
man. There is lots Of human nature in
an umbrella, especially after it has been
magnetized by its owner.-Detroit Free

On the night of March 8, 1891, Mr..

"a clock, said Mr.. Wickwire, with
perhaps trace of something unusual in
his tone; "a newfangled clock, that runs

His words came true; but ON the night
Of March 5, 1892, he was awakened with
q great start. He was dreaming at the
moment. He was in railway wreck.
and, as he thought, the broken driving
rod Of the overturned engine was slowly
piercing his vital organs. He walked, as
before said, with start, and found his

all comers with an immobility worry

full character. Men hken it to stce-

itself is decidedly lacking in dignity.
But though we are told that noting
