Up on Presumable Inside Buying
Northwest Loses More Than its Early
Advance-suear Leads in Volume but is
Narrow in Range--Market Goes FROM
Firm to Heavy and Heavy to Weak.
New York, Feb. 1.-THE transactions
on the stock exchange today were light
and the market was dull and uninter-
esting to a degree which was unlocked
for in view Of the light thrown upon
the governments contract with the
bond syndicate. Stagnancy was the
feature Of the speculation and were ii
not for Sugar, Northwest, and in lesser
degree, Chicago Gas, the volume of bus
ness would have been light indeed. The
trading in Tobacco shares was inter-
esting by reason of the fact that there
were evidences Of inside buying, the
common recording an advance of IL per
cent. of which all but ]! per cent was
retained to the close, and the preferred
moving up IL per cent and closing at
the best. Northwest went rs per cent
higeher on the covering of short con-
tracts but when the buying account
ceased the stock sagged off and dur
ing the forenoon was freely sold, part
~ in liquidation Of long stock, the
holders of which were discouraged eft
the poor annual report, and in part by
the bear traders, resulting in a break
of rs per cent from the best figures Of
the morning. A rally of Is per cent
was made at the closing, making the
loss on the day rs per cent. The pre-
ferred stock, on q sale of 100 shares,
declined ! per cent. Sugar led in the
transactions but fiuctuated within a
range of q per cent, closing * per cent
below yesterday; Sugar preferred is
down Is per cent. Chicago Gas OPEN
ed g per cent higher but the advance
was quickly lost and on steady sell
ing the price fell off gradually TX per
cent, to 1915 per cent, closing 4 per
cent above the lowest. The general
market was fairly firm during the
morning, becoming heavy during the af
ternoon and closing weak in tone with
a majority of the shares from Is per
cent to Il per cent below yesterdays
closing figures.
There was a considerable increase
in the bond trading today and prices
were in the main well held. Norfolk
and Western general SKIES sold at
1861 per cent against 160 per cent on
November 20. Colorado Midland firsts
brought 6G1a per cent against II per
cent on January IL. A subsequent re-
covery to 65 per cent followed. The TO-
tai sales We're $716,500.

Dainty Bureau Scarfs.

The very latest bureau scarf and ac-
cessories seems too dainty for use, but
as the old notion that scarfs made for
the toilet table should launder has
fallen into disrepute that fact appears
to matter little, if at all. Assuredly
this boiling cloth outfit is lovely to
look upon. 1t is made over pink silk,
and shows frilled edges, each one of
which is first painted with wild roses,
then cut on the outline. There are
shown the scarf, the cushion, the box
for brushes, and the usual complete
paraphernalia- If any woman can sf-
ford to use such perishable things and
is reckless of frequent removals with
her the departure will meet with sue
cess Common sense femininity may
ask for something more serviceable,
but common sense is a prosaic quality
and dainty fittings appeal to every ass
thetic soul.-N. Y. World.

A BELGIAN LOVE MARKET.
Curious and Ancient Custom Observed II
the Town Of Arton.

Curious ard Ancient Custom Observed In
the Town Of Arton.
A singular and ancient custom takes
place the first Thursday in December
every year in the little Belgian city of
Arton. This is the celebrated St
Nicholaus festival. and its counterpart
is probably impossible to find in any
country.
Peasants. male and female, enter the
city in the early morning, all dressed
in their holiday dress and all bent on
being married. The young men and
women march up and down on the
market place. and as soon as a young
peasant sees the girl for whom he has
liking he invites her to one of the
many cabarets or cafes that surround
the market, and here the agreement
and conditions for the marriage are
talked over.
The young peasant is always attend
ed by an important parsonage called
''the spokesman" This person playsa
most important part. and without him
no marriage could be arranged This
man enjoys the confidence of both par
ties; he knows the qualification of cv-
cry young peasant and how much of
marriage portion each girl is provided
with 1t is he who does the talking
for both parties. and, if an agreement
is entered into and wedding is the re-
suit, he receives certain part OF
the wedding portion, new high hat
and pair of boots. As long as the
consultation between the two families,
commenced at the festival, continues
the spokesman has good time He is
entitled to the best Of food and drink,
and if he successfully carries out the
negotiations he is the first one to be in
vited to the wedding.
AS soon as a couple are engaged,
which must be done before the festival
is over the custom is for the beau to
purchase some oranges and candy for
his girl and she presents her intended
with pipe and package Of tobacco.
The origin of this marriage festival
is lost in obscurity, but it is faithfully
observed by the people of this province
year after year.-Chicago Tribune.

scAPPps COOKBOOK.
What They Ate and How the Dishes Were
Served In 1870.

What They Ate and How the Dishes Were
Served In 1870.
Scappis book is illustrated, and tho
drawings represent the state of culinary
affairs even more forcibly than the text.
There is scarcely a kitchen utensil now in
use among us that is not to be found
among Scappi's diagrams. 1t Is true that
some of them are clumsily fashioned, es-
pecially in the matter of hinges, but their
practical efficiency cannot be doubted.
The menus of dinners given to exalted per-
sonages, a single one often filling six
pages, form part of these books and show
that profusion without any particular de-
sign as to sequence or harmony was their
chief characteristic.
A novelty presents itself here in the Gre
denza, or buffet. This was no doubt part
" brought about by the acquisition of
magnificent gold and silver plate, goblets
and vases of Venetian glass. Trophies of
these beautiful things were associated with
a Credenza service, whioh consisted of an
tipasti in variety, highly decorated cold
pieces montPes, all sorts of fruits, pickles,
preserves, both savory and sweet roes of
fish, etc, and contributed greatly to the
grandeur of the banqueting hall. A serv-
ice from the CredenZa preceded each great
division of courses of hot dishes (serVizio
di cucina), and the feast ended with sweet.
meats and confectionery, which were hand
ed round after the removal of the cloth.
1t should be specially noted that forks
formed part of the table equipment; that
perfumed water was handed round after
each course; that napkins of the finest dam
ask linen were deity folded and laid be
fore each guest, with minuta del pranzo,
and that the utmost cleanliness was main
tanned both in the table appointments and
cookery. AS for the dishes themselves, 1t
need scarcely be said that few of them
would be considered nice nowadays.
Sauces, as we understand them, clear
soups and delicate entrees, in which the
savory character of the ingredients Is
maintained with scrupulous care, had not
yet been discovered. Meats were covered
with spices and sprinkled with sugar,
wines were sweet, and savOries and sweets
were mixed promisouously, showing that
no very great discrimination prevailed in
regard to their distinct characteristics

A Bull Fight In Peru.

American gentlemen with British tastes,
who, in default of a fox, know how to
amuse themselves by chasing an aniseed
bag, ought to enjoy French travellers &C
count of bull fight as witnessed in Peru.
1t is impossible to describe the poverty
of the country, he says, speaking of the
shores of Lake TiticaCa The people lack
everything, including honesty. At An
coraimes saw bull fight of new sort
The unhappy people have no large cattle,
and so, of course, bull is never seen in the
town, but in South America bull fights are
a necessity, and the Ancoraimes Indians
find way out of the difficulty.
At Puno they buy some heads Of oxen
or cows with the skins and horns, and
dry them in the sun. Then on fete days
some of the men attach these heads to their
belts and rig themselves out in the most
fantastic manner possible They repre-
sent the bulls. Other Indians get them
selves up as matadors, and then there is
a grand bull fight on the plaza.
The matadors strike with their swords
the bulls butt with their horns, the crowd
laughs and applauds, and in the evening
there is feast at the expense Of the van
pushed party. Companion.

PRETTY NEW DANCES.
Fancy Figures Are Coming Into Favor
Again.

Again.
The cotillon or the german is abso-
lutely necessary to the success of o
dance, and new figures are hailed with
delight. Probably the secret of its sue
cess is its possibility of endless variety.
Each season sees the introduction of new
figures, and this winter there have been
introduced number of novelties, one
of the prettiest of which, according to
the New York Commercial Advertiser, is
the fencing figure. In this two men are
supposed to fight for the privilege Of
dancing with certain girl. Foils are
given them, tipped on the ends with
powder puffs literally busted with pow
der. The one who makes the first white
mark over "a vital spot is the victor and
dances with the cause of the duel.
Another novelty is dancing through
paper doors. For this figure frames COW
cred with tissue paper are set up, and
the couples dance through them. The
scarf figure is pretty and is danced by
almost a dozen couples, who wear light
colored silken scarfs.
Flower figures are particularly pretty.
Long stemmed roses are tied with rib
bons. A certain number of blossoms are
given to each man, who kneels and offers
them to lady. If she refuses, she
waves him away; if she accepts, she de-
taches small boutonniere from the
others and pins it upon the coat of the
favored one.
Many Of the Japanese novelties are
used for favOrs. Paper caps, aprons,
flowers, etc, are presented and must be
worn through the figure. The little rib
bon wound hoops used for rattles make
attractive favors; also the bell trimmed
tambourines.
The success of a german depends
upon the leader, as he must start all the
figures, and the man who is most ready
with novel features is in the greatest
demand as a cotillon leader.
The 1.-TWO STEP is the favorite dance
Just now and can be danced to almost
any music and be as slow or as fast as
one chooses to make it.
One of the newest dances this season
is the Brunswick caprice. 1t some
what resembles the Oxford minuet and
is composed of several different steps,
including the polka, varsouvienne and
the mazourka, and is remarkable for the
variety of its steps and poses. The quad
rifle and lancers are always danced,
for nothing seems to take the place OF
these dances in the public favor.

COURAGE.
It sinful to despond

Because hold It sinful to despond
And will not let the bitterness Of life
Blind me with burning tears, but look beyond
Its tumults and its strife;
Because lift my head above the mist,
Where the sun shines and the broad breezes
blow,
By every ray and every raindrop kissed
That Gods love doth bestow,
Think You find no bitterness at allp
No burden to be borne like Christians packP
Think you there arc no tears ready TO fall
Because keep them bac12
Why should hug life's ills with cold reserve,
To curse myself and all who love me2 Nay,
A thousand times more good than deserve
God gives me every dayl
And in each one Of these rebellious tears
Kept bravely back he makes rainbow shine.
Grateful l take his slightest gift. No fears
Nor any doubts are mine
Dark skies must clear, and when the clouds
are past
One golden day redeems weary year.
Patient / listen, sure that sweet ut last
Will sound his voice Of cheer.
