Three Dangerous Women.

Beware Of three woman-the one who
does not love children, the one who does
no; love flowers and she VINO openly
declares she does not ike other woman.
There is something wanting in such,
and in all probability its place is supplied
by some unlovely trait.
As Shakespeare says Of him who has
no soul for music, such a woman Is fb
for treason, strategy and spo.ls, and
woman intent on those is ten thousand
times worse than any man coull be, for
standing higher, she can fall lower.
Many may smile and jest little oyer
the tenderness lavished on baby, bz.
after ali, the praitie any womanly woman
insoluntarily breaks into at the sight Of
the tiny beings is very sweet to masculine
ears. Il vas the i,st language they ever
knew, and in spite OF the Jest or smile
the sweetest on wife's or sweetheart's
lips
They may laugh n the little garle n
pools, which seem ike plsythings 10
their strength but in their hearts they
associate, and rightly. purity Of character
and life with the paIsuit Of gardening.
And rs for the woman who does not care
Gr her own sex and boldly ayows i. she
Is a coquette pure snd sim pie, and one Of
the worst and lowest type, too, as a
general thing.

Honor Dear Old Mother.

Time has scattered the snowy fakes
on her brow, ploughed deep fGrrows on
her cheek-but is she not sweet and
beautiful now? The lips which have
kissed many , not tear rm the child
ish cheek are the sweetest lips in all
the world, says the "Bugle Call"
The eye is dim, yet il gioEs with the
raps radiance of a holy love which can
never fade.
Oh, yes, she is a dear old mother.
Her sands Of time are nearly run out,
but feeble as she is they will 90 further
and reach down lower for you than any
other on earth.
You cannot walk into midnight where
she cannot see you; you cannot enter
prison whose bars shall keep her out /;
you can never mount seafold too high
for her to reach that she may kiss and
bless you.
In evidence of her deathless love
when the world shall despise and for
sake you-when il leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you up in her feeble
arms, carry you home and tell you all
your virtues until you almost forget that
your soul is disfigured by vices.
Love her tenderly, and cheer her de-
clining years with oily devotion.

New N0rk.

NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-rrading at the
stock exchange returned to something
like its normal condition today, and the
dealings were reduced to little over
One-third OF what they were yesterday.
Fluctuations, though still large among
the coal stocks and industrialS, were
scarcely out of the usual line. The fact
OF the matter is that the placing of
Reading in the hands of receivers prac-
ticallY takes it, for at least some time to
come, out of the speculative arena. and,
the forced liquidation being complete,
the street IS 10 longer afraid of any
sharp movement which would disturb
values in the general list. As for Read
ing itself, the opinions seem to be that
the receiverShlp was a sharp movement
to head off the enemies of the manage
ment in their attacks, and has
been so far completely successful
While the status of the coal trade in
general is believed to be rather in dam
ger, and this feeling was reflected in
substantial declines in the other coalers,
any serious change in the trade is not
expected. With the subsistence of the
excitement the condition Of the eX-
change market and the future of the
money market at this center attracted
more attention.
The per cent market for money, pre-
dicted some time ago, seems to have ar
rived although there were plenty OF loans
made both yesterday and today at low
rates. The hardening tendency of
money acts to depreSS exchange, and,
though offerings of commercial bills are
still small, bankers bills issued against
the late gold shipments have supplied
the market TO such an extent that rates
eased off materially today, and it is felt
that no more gold will 20 this week.
Trading in stocks was today largely
professional, and covering of shorts
comprised the bulk OF the buying.
At the same time the selling was large
ly for the account of local operators
who bought at the low prices of yeSter-
day. London sent some buying orders
in three or four stocks, among which st.
Paul and LOui sylile were prominent,
but those orders were soon executed,
and the pressure to sell soon weakened
the entire market, and a general decline
took place all along the line.
There was mild recurrence of the
excitement in Reading, but it lasted for
only few minutes, and 1t soon became
possible tC execute an order to buy or
sell 100 shares. which has not been done
for the last three days. The large trad
ing IN the stock was all done III the first
fifteen minutes, and during that time its
lowest price was reached, which was
only % per cent below its first price,
which was l per cent better than
its last nights closing price. A
healthy demand developed below
81 and after the first define and final
rally it never got far from that point,
and closed at 1915, Il loss of 3 per cent
for the day. New England closely fol-
lowed the course of Reading, and it was
only Il lower at the erd of the day.
The other coal stacks were affected APP
parently by the belief that the dlsrup-
ton Of the Reading system meaps lower
prices for coal, though the denial of this
