hut IL Takes Just Such Contradictions to
Make a Woman Most womanIy.
The most recklessly extravagant
woman has a vein of economy some
where in her composition. Economy is
born in a woman. II may be devel-
oped in a manner to prove either bene.
fetal to herself or husband. Yet there
will be always some point at which she
will retrench, will look well TO the
pennies and think and calculate with
the ablest financier. She may be
willing to pay one hundred dollars for
a gown. but she will shop all over town
to save ten cents yard on the lining
She may spend five dollars for ride in
the park. but she will begrudge FIVE
cents for car fare when out shopping
She may stint the table at one time and
be w idely extravagant at another
She may ruin a whole garment by the
desire to finish it cheaply, which desire
has remorsefully seized her at the last
n, 5ment, but there is one thing in
hich she never economies. When
she loves she loves with her whole
heart There is no stint-only a giving
of ali the wealth of her affection. There
fore do not laugh at her little econo-
mics; simply remember that woman
TO bs womanly must be made up of
i.ose contradictions that seem so ridic-
Gious to the average masculine mind

It destroys the delicate sensitiveness to
the bit which is most desirable in guild
ing horse. Dr. Kitchiug says: ''lf a
horse pulling a load has his head held
in by a checlI-rein. he cannot throw his
weight into his collar, and is hinde red
from giving his body that position
which is most natural and effective. :
lIe goes on to speak of the consequent
strain of his limbs and muscles, and
the injury caused by the constrained
position of the head, whereby the
breathing and circulation are affected,
and the horse made restless, irritable
and uncomfortable. He says: THE
check-rein infiicts unceasing torture
upon the animal in another way. BY
holding the head upwards, it puts the
muscles of the neck on constant
strain. They become painfully uneasy
and tired If the horse cannot bear it,
he rests the weight of his head upon
the rein, and his mouth is violently
stretched. Thus he only exchanges one
torment for another. To sum up in a
word, the check-rein lessons horses
strength; brings on disease; keeps him
in pain: frets and Injuries his mouth,
and spois his temper "

stocks and Bonds.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-The stock market
to-day was more active than any day for
years, and we must go back to the panic of
1856 for a parallel to the enormous business
transacted in both stocks and bonds at the
stock exchange to-day. Coal stocks were
the great feature of the day, and the un-
precedented activity in Reading was not
only maintained but surpassed the transac-
lions in that stock, being the largest ever
known on the exchange. At the same time
thellate strength developed in anthracite
properties was fully maintained and heavy
advances scored in all of them.
For some time this morning there
was nothing in the market
but coal stocks and transac-
tons in these stocks were more than half
OF the total business of the day. The best
prices were not reached until the last hour.
The extreme advance in Lackawanna
reached g.. in New York Central Al and
IN Reading Az per cent. The strength in
coal stocks did not affect the rest of the list
to any Improbable extent.
Bonds of Reading, with the help of Atch-
ison incomes, furnished more than half of
the total transactions in that class of Sc
curities.
Government bonds dull and steady.
State bonds dull and steady.
