CLOSING PRICES OF CHICAGO STOCKS


Early morning trading on the Stock Exchange

the market was decidedly strong. Arbitrage

operations lasted FOR only short time. while
the squirt among board-room traders died out

TANNING WILD MICE.

An uncommonly good mouse story is
given by correspondent OF til, London
Spectator. Almost incredible as it sounds,
it appears to be well vouched for. 1t
offers another proof of the power of per-
sistent kindness.
A lady living in my house in the coun-
try announced to me one day that she
had tanned family of mice, consicting OF
a father AMI mother aud seven Young
mouse children. who ha made .their nest
in the partially decaye sash frame OF the
window in her tirst-fioor bedroom, which
had an opening on the sill outside.
She further stated that she could identify
the members Of this family, and could in.
duce them to come at her call an / feed
out of her hand. These statements APP
peared so incredible that felt compelled
to express my disbelief in them in the
absence of personal proof of their veracity.
and she therefore requested me to accom-
pany her to her room. there TO receive
such evidences as would satisfy my
doubts.
went and stood with her close to the
window, and she called the mice by the
Names "Jim," Tom" Jack" and so
on, to which she asserted hat she had &C.
customed them. and | saw them come,
one by one, to the window ledge, where
they ate bread out of her hand. and SUBJ
sequently out Of my own, not timidly,
but as il in full assurance of safety.
On the afternoon of the same day had
small tennis party in the garden on
which this bedroom looked. My cousin.
whose Christian name is jim, was play
ing tennis, and several of the party, in
Guiding myself, were sitting in the garden
beneath the mouse window, when after
noon tea was brought TO us. and called
loudly, "Jim JIM" several times to
communicate that fact to my cousin.
At the third or fourth call something
ran across the path, and one Of the party
threw his low hat at II, ani killed what
| he found TO be mouse.
| The mouse trainer was not present,
and knew nothing OF the occurrence, to
which, indeed. none OF us attached more
than passing Importance. The next
morning. however, still in ignorance Of
the incident. she informed us that her
li.tle Jim had disappeared from her family,
and that. although the others came as
usual at her cJl, he remained absent
and know that he never reappeared.

Worth More Than Gold.

Some feathers thlt are extremely
fashionable fetch more than their
weight in gold. The hunting OF birds
on which these feathers are found is
Il more profitable business, moreover,
than gold seeking. 1t is only natural
to compare the two. because both gold
and birds are found in the same sec
tion-Lower California.
These egret feathers sell from $50
to $50 an ounce at wholesale. OF
course, they fetch at least double thai
when retailed over the counters of
New York's most popular shops. They
are not sold by the ounce here, though.
They go by the piece. One, or ut most
three, at from 80 cents TO So each, are
the most that women even in comfort.
able circumstances feel that they can
afford.
While there are probably hundreds
of men who make business of killing
birds for their feathers, the best known
of the feather hunters in the West is
Hamlin Smith, the white chief of the
Cocopah Indians. Their reservation
includes most of the land on Madelane
Bay. In the marshes OF this broad
sheet of water are found the egret,
heron and crane in large numbers.
Smith reached San Francisco a week
or so ago with several bags of feath-
ers, chiefly egret. The load weighed
less than four pounds, but it netted Mr..
Smith $1,51j.
Even the heron's feathers come high.
They fetch at wholesale from SIS to $40
an ounce. One heron, Mr.. Smith says.
will yield often feathers worth $50. III
herons are more plentiful than egret
they are more profitable hunting, be-
cause there is only a small tuft Of
covering on the egret that is market

SURPRISED TIE QUEEN.

Queen Victoria Is very fond Of children
One day she was out driving in Scotland,
when she saw thre, little girls who lived
at the manse thoroughly enjoying them
selves at good game.
She sent messenger to make inquiries
about them, and desired that they might
come and visit he- at the castle.
1t so happened that their parents were
not at home at the time, and although
they were in high glee the children did
not quite know what to do.
One point which troubled them very
much was how should they address the
Queen. However, after little talk, they
decided they could not do better than adj
dress her as the kings of old were ad.
dressed in Bible history.
When they were taken into Her Majesty's
presence to the Queens great amusement,
they Immediately fell down before her,
and very so'emnly exclaimed; 20 Queen,
live forever"
They spent delightful afternoon, and
all too soon the time arrived for them to
60 home.
Imagine the Queens surprise and
amusement when. on leaving, they again
fell down together, and said this time:
80 Queen, live forever! And please
may we come again another day"

D. Eiyenroof Tree.

In a government report from COlom-
bia appears the description of n tree,
known rs the chaparro, which pos
sesses the property of being fireproof.
1t grows on the vast plains of Colon
bia and the north of South America
which are parched with heat except
during the rainy season. 1t has long
been the custom to clear the ground
for the new vegetation which springs
mp so luxuriantly on these plains after
the rainy season by means of fire
and such fires, miles in extent, kindled
the herdsmen, destroy everything in
the shape OF vegetation except the cha
parro dree, which survives to afford a
welcome shade in an almost treeless
region. 1t Is n small tree. seldom grow
ing to more than twenty feet in height,
with girth OF about three feet, and il
owes its protection from fire to the ma
ture of its hard thick bark. The bark
lies on the trunk in loose layers, which
do not readily conduct heat 10 the
more delicate parts of the structure.
1t is n general idea among the natives
that this tree grows only where gold is
abundant in the soil below. That ii is
common in auriferous districts is in
disputable, but there is no ground for
supposing that it does not grow else.

with him the chancellor OF the ex-

First Lord Of che Treasury.
While 1t IN impossible to gauge even
approximately the strength and extent
OF the revolt against the Spanish ali-
thority In the Philippines, there Is no
reason to doubt its seriousness. The
troops assigned TO the captain-general
at Manila number 10000 officers and
men, less the small force employed In
the Caroline and Marianne islands,
and as they are unable without rein
focements to suppress the rising, 1t
must be pretty formidable. The Phil
ippines are, next to Cuba, the greatest
dependency Of Spain, the group consist
Ing Of about 1,200 islands, only one
third OF which are, however. inhabited,
and having total population of about
S,OOO,OOO. No section of tie people are
loyal to Spain. and though the mass OF
the natives are perhaps only indifferent
TO her, there exists among the half
breed population and the white colon
lists much of the same loathing Of the
mother country as was exhibited In all
her dependencies ON the mainland.
These classes suffer most from the OPP
presslve government Of their Spanish
rulers, and resent the compulsion I'M
der which they are forced to maintain
an army OF idle officials, and the plum
dering which, i'm one form or another,
Is always an accompaniment Of Span
ish colonial rule. SO far as appears,
the present insuIrection is confined to
LuZ0n and few of tie adjacent Is
lands; but il it Is as formidable there
as may be inferred from the dispatches
its wider spread will, in the inability Of
Spain to bear either the expense or the
exertion of providing an adequate de-
fensive force, he Il serious business.
The group lies far off in the Pacific,
and Is In the aggregate as large as ia
pan, and with Cuba in full revolt and
Porto Rico threatening 1t, Spain in her
exhausted military and financial con-
dbtion is lily prepared to stand any new
strain.
