New York, Feb. 26.-Speculation at the
Stock Exchange continues quiet. Sales OF
stocks were only ISL 900 shares, of which 81 900
were American Sugar and 10000 Whisky. At
the start the market was weak and feverish,
owing to the heavy selling OF American
Sugar Last week this stock was up on the
belief that the country would be allowed
small protection. Today less confidence was
felt in the story and realization was in order.
Sugar declined from 50 10 5)75c, lead 25hc to
254c and National Cordage from l5H3
to i4Ac. General Electric and Chicago Gas
lost 4015 per cent respectively
in sympathy. Whisky was relatively
stronger than the other industrials and rose

a Chinese Tea Legend.

There is a strange Chinese legend
concerning the tea plant. According to
the story, there once lived a very pious
hermit who passed the greater part of
his time in prayer and vigils. He was,
however, unable to keep awake as long
as he wished, and often found his eyes
closing while he was in the very midst
of his devotions. This naturally an
noyed him, and one day in a fit of
wrath against this weakness of the
flesh, which he seemed unable to over
come, he cut off the offending eyelids
and cast them upon the ground. But
his action had been observed by a god,
who Immediately caused tea shrub to
spring up from the spot where the eye
lids had fallen. 1t is in reference to
this, according to the legend, that the
leaves of the tea plant are shaped like
eyelids, fringed with lashes, and pos
sess the power Of warding off sleeps

AN AVERTEO TRAGEDY.
How an English Captain Put Out Fire
in the Nick of TING.

in the Nick OF Time.
The Historical Records of the
Forty-Third Light Infantry" the ia
nous regiment which played a most
important part in English warfare
during the last quarter of the eigh-
teenth century and the early part of
the nineteenth, contains a stirring in
cldent of the prompt action which
averted tragedy, says the Manches-
ter Times.
Worn out with hard march the brig
ade under Capt. Lloyd approached the
convent at Benevente, where the cav
airy and reserve still remained, hoping
for shelter. They were disappointed.
The convent was occupied by several
thousand infantry and the Tower gal
leries were SO densely packed with the
horses of cavalry and artillery that it
was hardly possible for man to make
his way among them.
Two of the officers stood looking in
at the dubious prospect through the
single door that gave ingress and
egress. A sudden cry of alarm burst
from the lips of one. Look therer'
he cried, pointing over the backs of
the horses. At that moment one of
the inside wooden shutters burst into
flame. Mortified, the officers looked at
the burning shutter, and realized the
hopelessness of the situation. 1t would
be impossible to get the 6,o00 men and
horses out, and they must stand by and
see their comrades perish miserably.
There was no water near, and if there
were. how get at the fire through those
densely crowded horses?
The flames crept upward towards the
rafters. Good heavensl Something
must be donel" cried Capt. Lloyd. And
then with motion to those outside to
be quiet, the brave captain leaped on
the back of the nearest horse, and
stepping from back to back of the ami
mails, ran to the blazing shutter, tore
it from it's hinges and pitched it from
the window. Then he made his way
back to the door in the same way as
before.
So quickly was the act performed
that even the horses were scarcely dis
turbed. The building was saved and
there was no panic, which would have
been as disastrous as the flames. The
eyebrows and mustache were
but that was all. ''And |
they'll grow again. he said. with a
laugh.

riage line. One recognized authority
says that when this line curves upward
the possessor is not likely to marry at
all. Other experts say they know
many married and happy people with
such line. It is also alleged that the
transverse line on the "hill of Brer-
curry" which one party says is the mar
riage line, is not SO considered by the
Chiroiogical society sour opinion"
says the editor of the party organ, lis
that these lines are signs of attach
ment, and there is scarcely hand ever
seen without at least one in the hand
of either married or unmarried people"

1t Was Against Orders to Shoot, So He
Raided the Soldiers Camp Nightly.
'sWhen 1 was in Yellowstone Park
this summer" said Wyoming Valley
man, zone of the gameleepers told me
about bear that worried camp of
government soldiers almost to despera-
ton for several weeks. Late one night
a bear waddled into camp, ripped open
a tent, put the soldiers to fight, got
what he wanted to eat, and wentaway.
The next night the bear came around
again, smashed down tent and stole a
smoked ham. Under the park rules
the soldiers were prohibited from fir
ing at the thievish brute, as well as
from jabbing bayonet into him, and
the only thing they could do when the
bear appeared and went to helping
himself to rations was to get out of his
way Night after night the bold beast
made a raid on the camp and ruined
tent or two. My informant said that
the bear acted as if he knew that the
soldiers daren't fire at him, and that
on each visit he became more saucy
and destructive than before. When
the bears raids had become unbeara-
bic the commandant sent the facts to
the secretary of the interior and asked
what to do Word came back to shoot
the bear, and that night when bruin
strobe boldly into camp, the soldiers
put an end to his career by Kidding
him with bullets"

spoke looked at him in wonder. For a
moment they were speechless-con-
sternation and pity depicted on their
youthful countenances But present
ly speech returned to them exactly at
the same time, and they fairly howled
in their excitement: "You cannot mar
ry on 10000 year? Why not?" why
not?" echoed the youth with the sad
voice, which grew still sadder. "Why,
simply because haven't the $4,000"
And the mystery was explained.

POWERFUL WAVES.
The Effect of Gale Over the Great sa,
Lake.


The Effect of Gale Over the Great Salt
Lake.
correspondent of the Youths Com
panion recently witnessed a most con-
vincing proof of the weight of salt
laden waters of the Great Salt lake
A strong gale of wind was blowing
over the lake and driving its surface
into low, white-capped ridges, while
along the shore the foam lay like fat
banks of new-fallen snow. If it had
passed across lake of fresh water of
equal extent that wind would unques-
tionably have produced such an agita-
ton of its surface that navigation in
small boats would have been difficult
if not highly perilous.
But the waters of the Great Salt
lake, although driven into ridges as
just remarked, showed curious re-
sistance to the wind and the waves.
rising to only a slight elevation, moved
along with an appearance of lethargy
that the eye could not but notice
Yet there was an immense momen-
tum stored up IN those low, heavy,

did not exceed four feet the observer
found that it was impossible to stand
against them. Their sheer weight
swept him resistlessly along.
The curious buoyance of the water,
containing twenty-five per cent. of
salt in solution, increased the helpless
ness of the bather. He was not sub
merged, as sometimes occurs in the
Atlantic breakers, but was lifted and
carried like cork.
1t would probably have been impos-
sible to dive through an oncoming
wave after the manner practiced by
bathers along the Atlantic coast. In
the Great Salt lake people are not
drowned through sinking, but stran-
gled while still afloat. The bitter
water may enter the air passages with
fatal effect, but the body continues to
float until it reaches the shore or is
picked up.

DlnED WELL WITHOUT COST.
The Trick by Which a MoneyIess Scamp
Swindled a Washington Restaurateur.


Swindled a Washington Restaurateur.
An imp rincipled scamp recently
played a game upon a Washington
restaurateur that for originality and
effectiveness has cot been matched in
any of ;::-e time-honored stories of
Beau Hickman or any other 'eaters
of din ners, you foot the bills" He was
a we'll dressed, gentlemanly-ap
ing person-any other would not have
secured much attention in the cafe
which he work ed-and he ordered a
dinner that proclaimed him an epicure,
if a scoundrel. He commenced, saws
the Post, by tipping the waiter lib
orally, which alone would proclaim
him one accustomed to secure the best
of atten ton; and as for wines, he
would have none but the best vintages,
which he picked with the taste of
connoisseur. The dinner was prepared
to the kings taste and appeared to
please him until the last course. At
thai. point he uttered an exclamation
of horror, and beckoned frantically to
the waiter. That functionary not be-
ing sufficient to vent his wrath upon,
he summoned the head waiter, and
eventually the proprietor. Then he
pointed out the cause of troub4e-a
dead fly in the dessert. Words could
not express his well-feigncd disgust,
or the regret of the proprietor at this
unfortunate occurrence. The cook was
called up and roasted more effect
ually than he ever did his meats, and |
the restaurateur offered every amend in |
his power. But the guest professed to |
be almost overcome with nausea, and |
could not eat any more-he had proba-
bly, had all he wanted. OF course the |
proprietor could not think of charging |
for such on unfortunate meal, and |
was only too thankful that the matter
should escape the attention of the |
other guests. But when the disguised
guest had gone a bystander, who had
watched the occurrence, remarked to
the proprietor: ''Why, didn't you see
him put that fly in the dessert?'' And
the subsequent conversation was unfit
for publication.
