NEW YORK, February 4.-Wall-street
operators to-day took a more cheerful
view of the situation than for some time.
The news from reliable sources that the
government loan will be largely over
subscribed. and that, too, at prices con-
siderably above those named by the Nor
gan syndicate, impaired greater conf
dence in financial circles, and led to free
buying of securities. In addition to this,
there was the highly encouraging report
of the st. Paul road for the fourth week
of January. showing an increase in earn
ings of Sl6s 900, as compared with 1895.
The Rock Island statement. with its gain
of nearly $4,000 for the month of Janu-
AIRY, was also better than expected.
AS exchange continued to rule at about
the low rates current yesterday, and the
indications are that considerable gold will
be imported to pay for foreign subscrip-
lions to the government loan, the bulls
had pretty much everything their own
way.
That the market has great inherent
strength was plainly attested by the way
i'm which 1t took the break of nearly four
points i'm Missouri Pacific. This stock fell
from q ~ To ~ ga on rumOrs that a re-
ceiver was about TO be applied for. and

REMARKABLE BEING.
Mile Christine. the Wonderful Carolina
Twin, in Boston.

Or. G. II. Thayer, dean of Tufts col
lcge, and many other prominent physi-
clans and surgeons, who have visited
Mile Christine, the Carolina twin,
willingly and unhesitatingly give testi
mony vouching for the genuineness of
this remarkable and interesting wom-
an. All the afternoon and evening
crowds of people attended the recep-
tons, and a great number express
themselves as being thoroughly salts
fed that she is everything that she is
represented to be.
A woman who is more than one, and
yet not two The bond of union, which is
just above the bones Of the spine, is
chiefly cartilaginous, but the spines are
SO closely approXimated that there is
an osseous union between them. Born
back to back, their natural desire to
work straightforward has twisted
them to their present position. Each
can pursue separate lines of thought
and conversation independent of the
other. From habit their appetites call
for food and drink at the same time.
III the ills of the flesh are not, how
ever, necessarily theirs in common, for
one may have the toothache and the
other be free from any ache. Touch
ing them on any extreme of the body,
except the heads, both in common are
conscious of the touch. AS children
they used to have little struggles and
quarrels for supremacy, but, as they
could not get away from each other,
they early concluded that the best way
10 get along in their novel path of life
was to yield to each other.
The present happiness and affection
for each other is an example for couples
who are yoked together in marital
bonds. There has been no similar case

skirts of pale blue tulle falling over 1t.
Petticoats that come next the dress
can never be too elegant for the dressy
woman. AS much distinction is made
concerning different petticoats as con-
corning different gowns. Those for
morning wear under wooden dresses are
of mohair or alpaca, embellished with
several small hounces of the same,
bound with velvet. For afternoon wear
petticoats are of taffeta or broche satin
with founces of silk and lace, full and
fussy. For evening wear the height
of elegance is TO have the outside pet
ticoat match the silk of dress. This is
trimmed with deep founces edged
with lace. For grand ball or for
bride the correct petticoat is of white
silk or satin, profusely trimmed with
lace and bows of white ribbon. A nov
city was noted the other day in SILK
petticoat, the wide bottom fiounce be-
ing trimmed with five or six tiny ruifies,
giving, of course, a very wide and full
effect about the bottom.-St. Louis Re

A DIFFERENCE.
In Your Two Hands, Your Two Feet, and
Even Your Two Ears.


Even Your Two Ears.
OF all the twin organs of the body,
the ears are probably more alike than
any other. Still, there is a difference.
And so it is with other parts of the
body, says the Cincinnati Examiner.
One eye, for example, is generally
more open than the other, and often
there Is shade of difference in color
between them. Oculists say, too, that
1T is rare-almost unique-to find two
eyes in the same head that have exact
ly the same powers of vision. This
arises from using one more than the
other; and, like the hand, it is generally
the right eye that is most frequently
called into use, and is the stronger.
Few people not tailors have ever no.
ticed that the right shoulder is general
~ lower than the left. They say that
this arises from the almost universal
habit men have of resting the left elbow
on the desk while writing, and also
to the equally prevalent custom of
those who carry heavy burdens resting
them on the right shoulder.
In arms and legs there is generally
but a slight difference as regards
length; but in size and strength the
right arm and the left leg, being often
est used, are the more fully developed
muscularly. 1t is the right hand and
the left foot also which, exceed their
companions in size.

It's luxurious perfection triumph OF
artistic cleverness, says the New York
Journal. The skill of the architect is
employed for special designs, and there
is no limit to the decorations. Besides
the regular tub, which is beautiful as
ornamental porcelain and silver can
make it, there is a sitz bathtub with
spray and wave attachment and other
apparatus to suit the taste and conven-
fence of the owner. In some instances
the room is lighted by skylight or win
dows of stained glass in exquisite de-
signs of water nymphs and goddesses.
In many the beautiful works of art
both in fresco and oil painting and
Etatuary in marble and bronze, repre-
sent small fortune, and a loan eXhibi-
ton of these treasures would create a
profound sensation in artistic circles.

The church where the great-great-

the old dwelling occupied by her peo-
pie, are still standing in Lancaster
county, Pa. The pity is, however, that
the original house in which she was
born is no longer II be seen; excepting
for few stones which mark the out
lines of the foundation of the old place.
there is not trace of it's eighteenth

among the rolling mills OF Lancaster
county, and looking down upon the
rapid waters of the Susquehanna. lies
the village of Donegal, where the
Steyensons built the long, low house
in which the ancestor of a presidens
were born. The valley is one of the
prettiest in the state, and that is saw

with picturesque places lying among
verdant hills, on the sides of which
cling tenaciously the most attractive
