New York, Oct. Until late hour the

gers were most prominent, although the An
thracite Coalers were not far behind. Inc
factors at work were slightly higher rates

the bank reserves and to the Colorado

and foreign purchasers of fully 10000 shares
of various stocks, further advance in re-
fined sugar and intimations of rise in
Anthracite coal were all ignored for time.
The bears were more aggressive than for
some time past and the brokers' acting for
operators generally identified with the short
side of the account seemed to fnonopolize
the business in the early hours of the bus
mess. In the late trading an attempt was

Ages of French Actresses.

An ungallant writer III the French
press, M. Yve-Plessis, has been CRITICS.
ing the accounts given of the ages of
actresses and operate singers in little
work called "Nos Artistes. - In all
cases the dates given have been fur
nished by the ladies themselves. M.
Yve-Plessis has gone to the records of the
Conservatoire for his facts. At the time
young people go to study there, they
have no motive for concealing their ages,
and there the records remain.
The conclusion one arrives at is that
there is hardly one actress in Paris who
can be trusted to be quite accurate re-
specting her age. Some take off only
one year, like Mile. Reichemberg, the
little "doyenne" of the Theatre Fran
caise, who was born in 1858, not, as
stated, in 1854. Nine. Bernaert of the
Gate, however, appears to have taken
off six years. M. Yve-Plessis is not al
together without mercy. Ladies who
have allowed themselves a still wider
margin he purposely omits from his
list. It is noteworthy that the weakness
of wishing to be thought younger than
ones age is not absolutely confined to
the ladies, as the same records show on
reference to the real ages of one or two
popular actors. News.

Here's a New Mosquito Remedy.

An enterprlSlng young man, who is
part owner in boathOuse down the
river, claims to have discovered some
thing that will be of inestimable value
to mankind if experience proves its
worth The inhabitants of this down
the river boathouse were nearly torn to
pieces by mosquitoes every time they at
tempted to sleep in the house at night.
Screens seemed to be of no avail, and
it looked at one time as if the house
would have to be abandoned. Finally
an old lady who lived in the neighbor-
hood told them that she had not been
troubled by mosquitoes for several
years.
Her remedy was astonishingly simple.
She discarded all screens, and threw the
windows wide open at night. Across
the open space of the window she
stretched a piece of red ribbon about
two inches wide. ga mosquito" said
she, ''cannot be induced to pass that
ribbon. Why it is so I do not know, but
I know the natives of India take this
means of battling the vicious mosquito.
It works to perfection here also'' The
young man followed instructions, and
now declares that there has not been a
mosquito in the boathouse since the rib
bon was stretched across the doors and
windows -Philadelphia Record

Improved Library For Harvard.

The Harvard library looks just now
like the ruins of some ancient Gothic
cathedral It's churchlike walls-and,
by the way, all visitors to Harvard nat
urally mistake the library for the
chapel-now stand at night like ghost
ly sentinels guarding the thousands of
learned and unlearned volumes buried
there. But in the daytime there come
throngs of artisans, who are doing their
best to make the library perfect sepul-
cher for books and Students Where five
men were previously accommodated,
there will soon be room for ten, and the
enlargement of storage capacities for
books will be also carefully looked aft
CT. In short, Harvard is at last to have
a library building in some measure ade-
quate to her reputation as a seat of
learning and to the size of her library,
which now numbers nearly half mil
lion volumes. Boston Transcript.

Ballroom Decorations.

One of the newest decorations for a
ball or concert room is the flower bal
loon, covered with some pale colored
silk and having the flowers to CORE
spond with it. For instance, one of pale
pink will have Malmaison carnations
or La France roses asparagus, fern and
smilax are gracefully INTERVIEWED among
the blossoms, and the base consists of a
basket filed with greenery and tied
round with ribbons. In mauve silk and
orchids, or in pale toned yellow, with
Gloire de Dijonn roses, the effect is
equally lovely. The electric light in
these balloons is of 80 candle power,
and they are most effective when used
in room which is not otherwise illu-
minated. Philadelphia Ledger.

MEXICAN CHILDREN.
The dear little brown-skinnad

The dear little brown skinned ba
bies of Mexico play very much as the
little children in the United States do.
though their country is SO hot that
the sun tans them brown and thew
| must learn not to care for the heat
when they run about and play. They
make mud pies and build houses in
the sand and stones and play marbles !;
but best of all they enjoy swinging in
big swing suspended from some tall
palm tree. Sometimes the Mexican
papa fastens long pole high up on a
row of cocoanut- palms, and then
hangs swing between each two of
the trees from the pole. Then all his
little Mexican children can swing to-
gether in the sunlight. And the big
Mexican boys and girls, and even the
Mexican fathers and mothers, are
fond of swinging, too.
The little brown boys and girls are
not noisy at their play AS the little
children in the States. They seldom
cry or even laugh aloud. But they all
love music very much and every
morning, as soon as the first sun light
comes in at the window, the Mexican
father springs out of bed and begins
to sing beautiful morning hymn, and
all the family join in, down to the wee
est brown baby of all, and the little
Mexican babies have very sweet
voices Wien all the families in the
houses and all the people on the
streets have joined in the singing, it
makes great morning chorus. Is it
not beautiful custom?
The children of Mexico can make
pretty little clay and wax statuettes.
If a little Mexican boy should go to
your kindergarten, he could model
such beautiful things for you in the
clay that you would almost think big
people must have made them.
The houses the Mexican children
live in are made of adobe; but, in
stead of having the garden behind, as
we do in the States, they have the
garden right in the middle and the
house built all around it. And there
are great, long rooms, with high cell
ings; for the houses are but one story
high, but only little openings for win
dows, because they have no glass. But
they spend most of the time out of
doors in the plaza or alameda, the
public square and park, where they
sell flowers and fruit or listen to the
band concerts.
Mexican children do not celebrate
the Fourth.

cANARIEs FOR coNvIcTs.
Michigan Prisoners Keep Them For Com
fort and Raise Them For Profit.

fort and Raise Them For Profit.
Convicts in the Michigan state prison
have many more favors than those Of
almost any other penitentiary in the
United States, and it is the belief of the
management of the institution that for
| this reason there are fewer outbreaks Of
| lawlessness than are found elsewhere.
Among the favors granted to them here
is that of keeping and caring for birds.
There are fully 600 feathered songsters
in Michigan's principal penal institu-
ton, all owned and cared for by the
con eicts, and as soon as daylight APP
proaches on bright mornings their sweet
notes are heard in striking contrast to
the natural feelings of their oN.~ers.
Many of the most hardened criminals,
who from their general appearance and
history would not be expected to care
for anything of refining nature, ten
derby care for and caress their little pets
More than three-quarters of the cells
in the prison contain one or more ca
naries, and they are also found in vari-
GUS shops throughout the institution.
During the day the cages are hung out
side the cells to give the birds light and
air, but as soon as the convict returns
from work at night the cage is taken
inside.
This practice has been carried on in
the prison for years, and the officials
say that instead of any detrimental eff
feet being noticeable the little songsters
have proved benefit as they not only
give the cells more homelike appear
ance, but they also WELD decided in
fuence in the way of humanizing the
most reckless and hardened criminal.
Besides being permitted to keep the
birds for the sake Of their company and
influence, the cOnvicts are also allowed
to raise them to sell, and many dollar
is credited to the accounts of the prison
ers from this source. Of course the con-
vict handles none of the money real
lied from the sale of the birds until he
is discharged, but it is placed to his
credit in the prison bank.
1t is interesting to walk up and down
the prison corridors and note the differ
ent kinds of canaries in the cages, and
more particularly to note the different
methods adopted by the convicts in car
ing for their pets.
All styles of cages are to be seen, and
while one bird is provided with a veri-
table palace of a home and all the luXu-
ries known in the bird world the one
in front of the next cell will have sim
ply the plainest wood or wire cage and
only the ordinary seed and water hold
ers. This is also true in the shops, and
the character of the convict can in al
most every instance be safely estimated
by the care he gives his feathered
friends.
Through the day the music of the
birds is hardly noticeable, although it
can be heard more or less at almost any
time, but on a bright morning the song
sters are pleasingly noisy. One of the
officials who has been connected with
the prison for years says that when he
first came to the prison the music of the
birds in the morning made him wild,
but he has now become SO accustomed
to it that the place would be terribly
silent without it, - Jackson (Mich.

An amusing story is told of a gem
tleman living in London. AS the anec-
dote goes, it seems that he had pas
sion for the purchase of second hand
furniture at auctions, and that in max
ing 'good bargains he had filed his
house with antiquated and almost USE
less articles. Upon one occasion his
wife took the responsibility, without
consulting her husband, to have a
portion of the pieces removed to an
auction-room to be sold. Great was
her dismay when, on the evening of
the day of the sale, the majority of
the articles came back to the room,
and, not knowing his own furniture,
had purchased it at better bargain
than at first.
