The great wall of China was measured
in many places by Engineer Unthank,
the American who surveyed for the chief
Monaghan railroad. His measurements
give it an average height Of eighteen
feet and top width of fifteen feet.
Every few hundred feet the wall is
widened and surmounted by towers
twenty.four feet square and from twenty
to twenty-five feet high. The founda-
tion of the wall is solid granite, and the
bricks which constitute the main part
of the structure are still good, even
though they are supposed to have been
made 200 years before Christ. In build
ing this immense fence as barrier to
the regular incursions of the Tartars the
builders did not even attempt to avoid
mountains or chasms to save expense.
For 1900 miles the wall goes straight
over mountains and plains, hills and
dales, utterly regardless of natures
greatest distractions.

engaged in carrying this fruit to the diff
ferent dil yributing markets, and thai
from fifty to one hundred men are en-
ployed in unloading cargoes as they ar
rive, it is safe to place this branch of
the fruit trade in the front rank. The
banana industry has seen many changes
not only in the shifting of points of i'm
port, but also in the methods of distri-
button. Within three years Mobile has
taken third place in the number Of
punches received. In 1891 and 1892 but
about 15O, 900 punches were received
there, while in the first six months of
1895 she had handled l Az, 2O8 punches.
The signific ant change is in New York's
receipts. Up to 1890 she held first place
and IN 1891 New Orleans forged ahead,
beating New York by about 2OO,O
bun ches; until now, the first half of 1895
shows New Orleans to be ahead of New
York's receipts 49,, 281.-Fruit Trade

THERE is very pretty German tradi
tion not generally known which accounts
in the following manner for the existence
of the moss rose. The legend is to the
effect that once upon a time an angel,
having a mission of love to suffering
humanity, came down to earth. He was
much grleved at all the sin and mis-
cry he saw, and at all the evil things he
heard. Being tired, he sought a place
wherein to rest, but as it Jared with his
Master so it Jared with him; there was
no room for him, and no one would give
him shelter. At last he lay down under
the shade of rose and slept till the ris-
ing sun awoke him. Before winging his
flight heavenward he addressed the rose,
and said that, as it had given him shell
ter which mau denied, it should receive
an enduring token of his power and love.
And so, leaf by leaf, and twig by twig,
the soft green moss grew around the
stem, and there it is today, cradle IN
which the newborn rose may lie, a
proof, as the angel said, of Gods power
and love.

OIL stoves and gas stoves should never
be kept burning in sleeping room, for
hey are burned in the open air of the
room, and, having no connection with a
chimney fiue, they throw the poisonous
carbonic oxide of com bustion into the
air of the apartment and make it unfit
for respiration. Even an oil lamp is
dangerous If left burning all night, but
an oil stove is worse, because stoves gen.
orally feed more flame, consume more
of the oxygen and give off more poisonous
gas.

NEW YORK MARKETS.

New York. Nov. 15-The stock market
today was unfavorably affected by va
riefy or influences, none Of which were
unexpected. and whose effect might
therefore have been regarded as discount
ed. The exception was a revival of sales
OF our securities for foreign account.
This last development had not been gem
orally figured upon, as the street hoped
for support IN this market from abroad,
owing to ths alleged more favorable turn
in the foreign financial situation. The
engagement Of gold for export by tomor-
rows steamer could not be considered
in the light OF a surprise, as all indica-
tons recently have pointed TO a resump-
ton OF the outward movement Ii has
also been believed that severe treatment
of the Reading juniors securities in the
impending reorganization is a foregone
conclusion. Bear arguments against
Sugar were based upon expected reduc-
tons in the prices of foreign and domes-
tic grades. owing 10 the arrival of the nor
NAL dull season in the industry. The mar
ket opened quiet and at slight declines.
but moderate rally soon ensued. which
for a time proved superior to the an
nouncement OF the engagement of S2.25o,-
900 in gold for export, including the house
usually most conspicuous in gold move
ments. The effect of the news, however.
was noted In a decreased volume of trad
Ing. Eventually liquidation started here
and there In the list, resulting in a large
range OF prices generally. There was but
slight animation in the trading in rail-
way and miscellaneous bonds. The deal
ings aggregated $4,000 only The general
market ruled firm as regards the specu-
