CLOSING PRICES OF BOSTON STOCKS.
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
Thursdl " December n y

ThursdiN, December i-p. m
The stock market was dull and strong without
other distinctive feature. The extreme huctua-
tons in Sugar Refining We're Httlc more than
per cent but the stock closed at an advance Of
z per cent. st. Paul varied as much as x per
cent and closed Il pcr cent higher than it dil
yesterday. Chicago Gas was depressed over
per cent for the reason apparently that the rcgl-
lar dividend was declared. Thsse stocks were
the only ones in which the transactions exceeded
TO- 900 shares. Final changes however were frac-
tional advances and American Cotton Oil and
General Electric gained something over ! per
cent. Atchison recovered the loss suffered yes
terday and Missouri Pacific rallied as much Y
per cent Dis,illing and Cattle Feeding further
advanced 2. per cent, for the simple reason that
a larger tax is considered inevitable. \ tariff
for revenue must provide for the payment ~
Government obligations and the present question
is of ways and means. II Is possible that
the action OF the Government is only preparatory
TO an issue OF bonds. The advance in foreign OK
change may perhaps have been manipulated IN
the expectation Of a bond issue. At the present
rates gold may be shipped to Germany at
profit and a further advance in rates on Lon
don involves exports OF the metal IL is urged
Of course that remittanccs for interest and divi-
dend payments explain the movement. but In
view Of the balance in favor Of this country on
merchandise account exports OF Sold are WhO!ly
unnatural. At the same time money Is worth
more in Europe than In the United States dnG
an equilibrium must be established. II our eX-
ports of merchandise are not sufficient 10 dis
charge our obligations, and II Europe continues
TO return our securities. the balance must be
settled in the only recognized medium Of inter-
national exchange 1t Is Impossible that the
exports Of gold should be large enough To- affect
the rates for money. The accumulation Of IDLE
money at this centre Is too large 60 feel the IN
huence OF the probable shipments.

Didn't Know the Governor.

A distinguished, person Of modest APP
pearance called at one of our public in
stitut1ons the other day on official bust
ness. He was admitted by the lady in
charge. He desired to see the superin-
tendent.
HE is very busy" she replied, land
don't think he can see you. He is talk
ing with the governor of New Hampshire
or some other state, and he has no time
to see a book agent. but I'll give him
your name"
''Tell him that Governor Morris would
like to speak to him q moment on very
important business" was the quiet reply
in q dignifed manner
Il beg your pardon. Are you Gov
ernor Morris?''
THAT is my name," the governor re-
Piled, and soon all due official recogni-
ton was rendered. Hartford Courant.

The Power of the HIind.

1.-The power of the mind to delude it,
self is simply marvellous said Darius
Names. How people conceive them
selves that certain actions of theirs or
state of thought move the infinite to
definite action is simply marvellous. Not
over a year ago friend of mine was
seized with q dangerous illness which
threatened his life and worse. He i'm
mediately was seized with renorse for
past offenses in the face Of coming dis
solution and sought by prayers and of.
ferings to satisfy the wrath of the great
unknown. He became SO overwrought
with worry that he was moved to tears
and on more than one occasion did vari-
Gus things which afterward in good
health he admitted were ludicrous and
idiotic. No change for the better came
for a long time until q change of physi-
clans was effected. Then he began to re-
gain health, and the sick was eventually
cured That was not the best nor worst
Of it all.
During his return journey to health
he attributed all his buoyant feelings
and recovery to the devotions Of himself
and others offered to the Maker and
stated that the Lord must have guided
the second physician to him or him to
the second physician-it didn't matter
much which, just SO the Lord did it. I
talked with his physician afterward, and
we began discussing the cure and finally
drifted in the fellows religious revolu-
tn as related TO his cure. The physician
figured out that he would have been
cured month sooner if he had rested
his mind and quit asking the Lord for
anything at all-or begging for divine
intercession. believe my friend agrees
with that opinion now, but you see just
how far well balanced mind can really
delude itself.''-St. Louis C1obe-Demo-

Cost of British Defenses.

The British empire spends, as rule,
upon defense from $3.50, 200, 900 to $780,
O0O,O 600 year, of which the military ex-
penditure of India, with the indirect ex-
pendlture for the sake of India on the
mobile land forces at home, forms the
largest item. Almost the whole of this
vast sum is expended out of British loans
or taxes under the control of the parlia-
ment Of the United Kingdom, and out
OF India taxes under the indirect control
OF the house of commons through the
secretary of state, who is q member of
the government of the day. North

Marie Antoinette's Main Refuge.

There is q building in Edgecomb, an
old square, white house, concerning
which an interesting story is told. This
tradition is that at the time of the French
revolution Captain Samuel Clough, the
owner of the house, who sailed ship
between Maine and France, was engaged
treasure than the unfortunate Queen
Marie Antoinette, and that quantities of
rich stuffs, furniture and silver were
put aboard his ship for the use of the
exile, whose destination was to have been
this same house, which then stood in
Westport, it having been removed to the
mainland on raft 60 years ago. It is
yet occupied by Captain Coughs de-
scendants.
One circumstance which lends con-
frmation to the story is that a similar
legend attaches to house in Dorchester,
Mass, the famous Swan mansion, then
owned by Colonel Swan, who spent
much Of his time in Paris, but who set
tied permanently in this country after
the French revolution, his house being
adorned in princely fashion. Now, Cap
tain Clough and Colonel Swan had mon
ely dealings together in Paris, Captain
Clough in 1894 having had contract to
purchase $50, 900 worth of lumber for the
colonel. What more likely than that
Colonel Swan, who was warm friend
of Lafayette, should have engaged the
Maine captain to aid him in plan of
such great Importance as the attempted
rescue Of The French queen, with which
he screditeu!-Lewiston Journal

Ants bigger Then Foxes.

Piiny, that rare cid gossiper, tells,
among his other extraordinary stories,
that OF the BactTian method of obtaining
gold. The sandy deserts of Bactria in
the days of that historian were, so the
old man says, literally swarming with
ants slightly bigger than foxes" These
gigantic representatives of the genus by
menoptera burrowed deeply into the
sandy wastes, their tunnels and galleries
often being hundreds of feet in extent
The earth removed from these burrows
was always carried to the outside and
thrown up in hills remember Pliny says
this) ''of a bigness exceeding that of a
palace" This debris, sand, earth, etc.,
was soon found to be wonderfully rich
in small nuggets of gold.
The danger from the ants was greater,
however, than that from the Indians in
the early days of gold digging in the west
ern United States, and many stories are
told OF men who were literally devoured
in a few moments by the fierce owners
of some disturbed burrow. Some OBJ
serving old hunter at last discovered that
the giant ants slept during the hottest
hours of the day. After that the seekers
after the yellow metal only made their
incursions at the proper time, and even
then they only staid long enough in the
deserts to fill their sacks with the golden
sand, which they took home to sift at
leisure. With all this precaution the
ants often swiftly pursued the feetest
horses, and it was only by using various
stratagems that the invaders managed to
escape alive. st. Louis Republic.

Two Congressional Linguists.

Representative Everett of Massachu-
setts is regarded as easily the ablest clas-
steal scholar in either branch of congress.
Like his distinguished father, he is cred
tied with the ability to recite the 'Eneid''
from beginning to end, and even with
the ability to determine the quantity of
any word in the whole Latin lexicon.
Outside of the classics the best of the
congressional linguists is Senator Turpie
OF Indiana, who has colloquial famil-
iarity with three modern languages be-
ades his own and can read several more.

The Status of Cotton,

In 1887 there was $5,414, 400 invested
in cotton mills in the Palmetto state.
Today there is probably $12, 100000 in
vested.
Capital has been freely invested in cot
ton mills and with very rare exceptions
has proved to be the highest class of in
vestment. The day of cotton mills has
come, and the increase is growing as
steadily as the people of the state are be-
coming convinced that the cotton ought
to be manufactured where it is grown.
If the present pace be kept up, it will
not be long before there will be cotton
mill in every county. Figures, however,
speak louder than anything else, and the
remarkable growth of the cotton mill
industry in recent years is shown by the

The book of proverbs written in
poetry, and contains about one thou
sand of the three thousand prov
CRIBS of Solomon. The whole book
abounds in illusions, now found for
the first time and precisely applicable
to the age of Solomon; to gold and
silver and precious stones; to the du-
ties and powers Of kings; to commerce.
The book of proverbs is not on level
with the Prophets or the Psalms. 1t
approaches human things and things
Divine from quite another side. 1t is
the philosophy of practical life. 1t is
the sign to US that the Bible does not
despise common sense and discretion.
It impresses upon us in the most fore
ible manner the value Of intelligence
and prudence and of a good education.
Above all, it insists over and over
again upon the doctrine that good
ness is wisdom, and that wickedness
and vice are folly.

A friend told us that he was visit
ing lighthouse lately, and said to
the keeper: care you not afraid to
live here? 1t is dreadful place to be
constantly in.''
"No," replied the man, "I'm not
afraid; we never think of ourselves
here" 'sNever think of yourselves
How is that?'' The reply was good
one: "We know that we are perfectly
safe, and only think Of having our
lamps brightly burning and keeping
the refectors clear, so that those in
danger may be saved" That is what
Christians ought to do. They are safe
in house built on rock which can
not be moved by the widest storm;
and, in spirit of unselfshness, they
should let their light CLEAN across the
dark waters of sin, that they who al e
imperilled may be guided into the
harbors of eternal safety.
