The New York Market Was Strong but

At New York. Saturday. none on call

Prime mercantile paper, ga as per cent.
Sterling exchange was quiet but steady
at S4.S634 for sixty-day bills and SASS

The total sales of stocks were 81, e5s

The stock market was quiet and in the
main strong. but il was narrow as at any
time during the week, presenting few
features of interestin the general list. show
Ing only slight fluctuations The great
feature of Saturday was the extraordinary
animation In Omaha common. which
rose to first place in the dealings. The
stock rose from 5O17 to 524s. but a portion of
this was lost while the preferred stock was
stubbornly held at the highest point.
Reading was active as usual. but displayed
no vitality and was traded in within mar
row limits. Chicago Gas carried its price
above so on the expectation of increased
dividends in the future. A bear drive was
made at which was su opposed to

stock to enable the operators interested to

Prices yield readily TO these attacks, owing
TO the lack of speculative interest In the
market, but stocks are 30 lightly held that
the buying to cover immediately sends
them back again. and little is gained. The
market closed heavy. with most stocks
within the smallest fractIons of Friday
nights figures. Sugar, however, was up

The dealings in railroad bonds were sig

fsyorites. Erie second consols and those
bonds led the dealings, contributing $1o3,-

Government bonds were dull and firm.
State bonds were neglected. Closing

day2 And what shall we say of the
members Of the churches who are in
different on this subject?
My observation is that young folks
only need encouragement from parents
TO induce them to attend regularly
even the dullest Sunday school in the
land. And further, that unless the
parents are interested, and encourage
their children, to secure their attend
ance is almost hopeless, unles the Sun
day school is turned into a monkey
show. Thank God that is seldom done.
h My fellow citizens of Montgomery
county think Of these things I beseech
you. Encourage your children, per-
suade them, constrain them, to attend
Sunday schools. If you will not, don't
blame them for not attending of their
own will, and if they fall into crime
in the years of their youth, don't go
around mounting about the law of the
land and the looseness of morals in the
community, but blame your own stu
pendous folly. There are people in
this country who actually take more
Intelligent and discriminating care of
their stock than of their children; and
women who are too indolont and in
different to get the little ones ready for
Sunday school on Sunday mornings !;
who will be wringing their hands be-
cause their neglected children have
1gone to the devil and disgraced the
family" in the years to come. If for
no other reason seek to save them from
folly and sin in this life. But most of
all encourage them to seek their erea-
tor in the days Of their youth because
the end of all life, outside of Christ is
death. EDWARD E. BoMAR.

Working Women and Their Place
To-Day.

The proportion of women whose
daily lot is hard labor of some kind or
other is not greater now than it has
been in other periods. On the con-
trary, it is probably smaller. But at
no former time has the wage-earning
woman been so distinct a social and
economic factor. Woman's work
was formerly hedged in very closely
by domestic condition. Her life was
a part of the life of some family, and
as an unattached industrial unit she
was practically non-existent. Newer
conditions have obviously changed all
this; and every city has its army of
young working women seeking an
independent livelihood, just as it has
its larger army of young men. The
army of young working men in great
towns, young men wholly unattached
and fighting the battle of life upon
their individual resources, has not
been very long recognized as distinct
social element, and one for which Pc
culiar provisions should be made.
But its recognition has been more
general, and there has been better pro-
visions made for it than for the other
army of young working-women.
Yet the position of the young women
is much the more difficult. The kinds
of work open to women are not half so
numerous as those that young men
can enter. And women's wages
average little more than half as much
as their brothers. The practical diff
culties in the way of procuring en-
ployment are especially great for
young women, and conventional
obstacles lie everywhere. The rights,
the needs, the wants of working-girls
call for agitation and for organized
action. And in many ways the move
ment has begun.--Albert Shaw, in
February Scribner.

qua flesh-eating, or rather, man
eating plant, which is called by the
natives "the DEVILS snare" In form
it is kind of vegetable octopus, or
devil-fish, and it is able to draw the
blood of any living thing which comes
within its clutches. 1t appears that a
Mr.. Dunstan, naturalist, has lately
returned from Central America,
where he spent two years in the study
of the plants and animals Of those re-
gions. In one of the swamps which
surround the great Nicaragua Lake,
he dissolved the singular growth of
which we are writing. "He was en-
gagged in hunting for botanical and
chronological specimens, when he
heard his dog cry out, as if in agony,
from a distance. Running to the
spot whence the animals cries came,
Mr.. Dunstan found him enveloped in
a perfect network of what seemed to
be fine, rope-lie tissue Of roots and
fibres. The plant or vine seemed
entirely composed Of bare, interlacing
stems, resembling, more than any
thing else, the branches of the weep
ing-willow denuded of its foliage, bui
of dark, nearly black hue, and COW
cred with thick, viscid gum that
exuded from the pores. Drawing his
knife, Mr.. Dunstan attempted 10 cut
the poor beast free; but it was with
the greatest difficulty that he managed
to sever the feshy muscular fibres of
the plant. When the dog was ex-
tracted from the coils of the plant,
Mr.. Dunstan saw, to his horror and
amazement, that the dogs body was
blood-stained, while the skin ap-
peared to have been actually sucked
or puckered in spots" and the animal
staggered as if from exhaustion. "In
cutting the vine, the twigs curled like
living, sinous fingers about Mr.. Dun
STAINS hand, and it required no slight
force to free the member from its
clinging grasp, which left the flesh
red and blistered. The gum exuding
from the vine was of a grayish-dark
tinge remarkably adhesive, and of a
disagreeable door, powerful and hau-
seating to inhale." The natives, we
are told, showed the greatest horror of
the plant, which, as we have noted
above, they called the devils snare"
and they recounted to the naturalist
many stories of its death dealing
powers. Mr.. Dunstan, we are told,
was able to discover very little about
the nature of the plant, owing to the
difficulty of handling it, for its grasp
can only be shaken off with the loss
of skin, and even of flesh. AS near as
he could ascertain, however, its pow
ers of suction is contained "in a num-
Der of infinitesimal mouths or little
suckers, which, ordinarily closed, open
for the reception of food" off the
substance is animal, the blood is
is drawn off and the carcass or refuse
then dropped. A lump Of raw meat
being thrown it, in the short space OF
five minutes the blood will be thor
oughly drunk off and the mass thrown
aside. Its voracitv is almost beyond
belief. Portland Transcript.

Experiments show that person
speaking in the open air can be heard
equally as well at a distance of 100

all sides with an annoying plainness
that acoustics cannot account for.
