Nearly All OF Them Have Peculiarfties of
Character.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
"As a general rule the majority of
inventors are monomaniacs," said a
gentleman yesterday, whose business
brings him in contact with numerous
men with ideas" II have noticed
that men who have something that Is
going to turn the world upside down.
usually lack a very essential quality
for the correct solution of the prob
lem which they desire to solve. They
may be perfectly rational on all other
subjects-in fact. they may be con-
sidered extremely bright all-around
men-but they do not seem to be able
to see the folly of the foolish kind OF
reasoning when applied to their own
inventions. I have seen men come to
me and point out the mistakes OF other
inventors, yet, when / would call at
tention to miscalculations in their own
work. no amount OF reasoning could
make them see their error. In my po-
sition / have plenty OF opportunities
for studying men OF this class. and
have frequently had a lot of fun at
their expense.
Some time ago a man commenced to
bother me to take up an invention of
a new idea in an engine. looked at
the plans and told him that his idea
was all right up to a certain point.

could not be remedied. yet II was 50

man argued with me that he was right
In his plan. and to permit him to dem

in our works with all the facilities
to make his castings, and any parts
necessary for the building of his en-
gine; then told him to go ahead. Every
now and then he came to me with
request that he be permitted to change
some part or other OF his work. as he
found 10 would not do. I allowed him
these changes and he continued to
work away until one morning he fall

this man was considered a thorough

trouble is that inventors become so

There's a man up on Connecticut av-

IL the place belonged to him. He felt
called upon to attend a funeral-the
funeral Of some personal friend Of his

mark OF respect for the deceased he
asked the head of the house TO allow
his carriage to be driven in the funeral
procession. The head OF the house good
naturally consented, and the coach
man with a colored friend, rolled of
TO the obsequies. That afternoon there
was a football game somewhere in the
suburbs. and the head of the house,

as he trudged in through the gate a
carriage passed him going in. II was

procession happened to pass the foot

THE MARKETS.

New York Dec. 23-The all-important
consideration affecting the stock market
to-day was the decision arrived at by the
clearing house committee at a meeting on
Sunday at the house of President Tappen
of the Gallatin National bank, and cabled
at midnight to London, recommending
that an issue of clearing house loan GER
tifcates be made at once IL necessary.
There Is excellent authority for the belief
that this timely action turned the senti-
ment in London to the bull side of our Sc
curities and incidentally stemmed the
semi-panic here. The very disproportion-
ate engagements for gold for shipment to
Europe on Wednesday to the previous
large estimates were also attributed TO
this influence. The days operations ex-
hibited a decided and wholesome contrast
to the panic of Friday and Saturday. The
volume of business was well distributed,
but the dealing shrunk to an aggregate
of about 350000 shares below Fridays
grand total. Amid considerable excite
ment, the initial prices were moved rap
idly upward, the advances in the first few
minutes ranging up to per cent. in New
Jersey Central. The rise had been so
sudden as to prevent the fulfillment of
many of the London orders. and after the
first quarter of an hour realizing sales
checked the Improvement. but the market
took a decided turn upward around / p.
m, the feature being the execution of an
unusually large amount of small invest
ment orders for cash purchases.
The scheme of clearing house certif-
Gates, which originated In the panic of
1873 and was adopted in the panics of
1884, 1890 and 1898. is simply a plan for
union between the clearing house banks.
Each individual bank needing the certifi-
Gates puts up abundant collateral, while
the certificates themselves are to be obli-
cations of the entire association Of New
York banks. making them unquestioned
securities This combination prevents the
weaker banks from being pressed and en-
ables them to deal Justly with the bor-
rowers In a panicky market.

Baltimore Dispatch to New York Times.
In all the country south of Mason and
Dixie's line there Is mistietoe. and all
through December the young people are
busy trying 10 bring Il down from its
high home upon the trees Of the swamps
and rivers and ponds. A favorite place
for Il Is the upper branches of the gum
tree. and these gum trees often reach
a great height.
or course, II is generally known that
the mistletoe Is a parasitic shrub. IL Is
a child Of the air. growing far above the
ground with no apparent means of nour-
sshment. and fixing itself TO the tree limb
as habitation and a home. Near the res
idence OF the writer of this there is a
splendid gum that scars fully so feet and
near its top Is a beautiful clump OF green.
looking at a distance like a huge bunch
of deep green holly. but the experienced
eye recognizes 1t as a particularly fine
growth of mistletoe. and many have been
the efforts to dislodge II. but II is so far
away and climbing Is so impossible. that
for years II has held its place above the
envious ambitions of the boys and young
men and girls who have gazed at IL from
below.
Whenever one OF our young folks finds
a growth OF mistietoe In the woods or
along the little creek that winds around
our neighborhood II is watched with a
jealous eye. and II there is a suspicion
that some one else Is close to ats discov-
cry the first finder al once announces his
ownership, and IL that Is not enough. he
hurries to cut IL down and put IL in a
safe place for Christmas for. whereas you
may buy all the mistletoe in the market
you want, there is none that has the
beauty and the meaning of that which
you find and capture yourself and the
kisses that IL brings have a double value,
because you yourself got st.
There are two ways OF getting this mis-
uetoe after We find where II is. One way
is to climb the tree and cut 1t of. and
this Is the quickest way, provided the
tree is easy and accessible and the limb
on which IL clings is not too slender. but
that may be overcome by taking a long
pole and pulling 1t of. the main danger
being that you may destroy the freshness
OF the mistletoe and lose many OF its
priceless berries by letting 1t fall to the
ground. The trees are not always friend
ay and climbing is often out of the ques-
ton. In that emergency we have often
used the rifle to good effect. a good shot
cutting the parent stem that held the
bunch of mistletoe TO the tree. Generally
we Travelled In twos. so that there would
be one to catch the bunch after Il had
been shot off by the other.
our American mistletoe Is not az fine as
that imported. because the berries are
smaller, but II answers all practical pur-
poses and the luck II brings and the sal
utations II invites are just as genuine as
any foreign article. and every year the
south Is sending larger quantities of Il TO
market. pleasant Christmas remem-
brance from Southern friend is a box OF
mistletoe, and sometimes a nice fat wild
turkey or brace of wild ducks will be
seasonably decorated with this shrub.
