A Grim Wager.

Wagers sometimes take rather grim
form. IT is recorded that in the last CEN
tury wager was laid for one of party
of gay jewellers to enter Westminster
abbey at the hour of midnight. He was
to enter one of tho vaults beneath the
abbey, and in proof of his having been
there he was to stick fork into a cot
fin which had been recently deposited
there. He accomplished his object and
was returning in triumph when he felt
himself suddenly caught, and was so
overpowcred by terror that he fell into
swoon. His companions, not being
able to account for his long absence,
found him in this condition. The fork
which he had fastened into the coffin
had caught and pinned his long cloak
and so occasioned IL fit of terror which
nearly proved fatal.

The ThiefS Art Reduced to . Fine Point
In Mexico. ID.
Mexico is q land of thieves and law
lessness. An English correspondent
tells of All adventure of two men in
the Grand Square of Mexico. They
stood talking Ecfore they should part.
One was American, the other English.
Suddenly the former said to the latter,
pointing to the opposite side of the
square under the colonnnde:
Look ut it--look! They're pinch
ing him Eicely, aren't they? And he's
Il friend OF mine, you bet!"
And there, while he stood gazing at
the cathedral all unconscious, another
American was relieved of his watch
and other valuables.
"Smartest thing ever saw" cried
the watching Yankee. Look here, I'd
like to interview those coons."
They did so, the Englishman inter-
preting. Said the admiring Yankee,
after n time:
Can you do me like that? I'd like
to know what it feels like
And the answer came contemptu-
ously:
"You9 Why, we did you an hour
ago!"
This is true story.

How to DO It.

Somebody wrote to the editor OF a
country paper and asked how he
would "break an OK" The editor
answered as follows: If only one OK
good way would be to hoist him by
means OF chain attached to the

ground. Then hoist him by rope
to the horns to another pole. Then
descend on his back five ton pile

Sd, by Captain Grove 412l9, is now
due to calve to the service of Ancient
Briton 55749. Our intention was to
show this heifer ut the SO fairs, but
we reluctantly consented to let her go
as Mr.. Leddick was very much taken
with her. Lady Grove I'd is a very
stylish heifer and is full Of the blood
Of old Horace 1892, being by the Van
Malta bull Heugler 370003. and out of

members Of our young herd. They
were, together, very choice lot, and
one Of which Mr.. Leddick might well
be proud"
Three of the above bulls are for

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS


New York. March al,-The stock mar
ket today. as of late, was wholly pro-
fessional. At the opening the tendency
of prices was downward principally, on
account of selling by London houses,
Louisville and Nashville scoring the
greatest losses and declined y to so. the
lowest point of the week. The loss
otherwise was merely fractional. Short
ly after the opening the traders who
have practically monopOlized the busi-
ness at the board for the past week en-
deavored to cover. The supply of stocks
for the coming. however, was small,
and as a result of the bidding by the
shorts. prices moved up i4alfs per cent.
In this list Chicago Gas. Sugar, Leather
preferred. General Electric and the
Changers Were most prominent. To-
bacco, which figured for nearly 80 per
cent. in the total dealings, was fever
ish. but in the main firm. 1t opened at

recovered to S37s 1t was reported that

Chicago Gas was in better demand than
of late and rose to 6Gia. Leather pre-

- The United States does not show up
very badly in its tonnage launched dur

in newly y-launched ships total of "a.
S77 tons. representing sixty-one mer-
chant ships. That is an advance from,
the output in 1894, but falling OF as
compared with 1893. Germany sur
passed with launches representa- tive of
S7,796 tons, and was the only country

which launched u tonnage Of more than
10000 tons. Germany also bought thir-
teen vessels of 34.o53 tons In Great Bril-
tain during the year. and Norway eX-
ceeded that requirement from the same
foreign source. her h-built vessels
launched in the twelve months num-
bering fourteen and their tonnage be-
ing 39,156 tons. Russia followed them
with the purchase of British-built ships
representing %. 360 tons. If the actual
additions to the merchant navies of the
United States and Germany be sought,
the Germans, therefore. have made a
large increase in their total tonnage as
compared with the gain for the Ameri-
cans. and Norway has pressed close In
