Gould Put all Europe to War.

Gould tut all EUROPE 10 war.
1t begins to look as though Kru.
ger, the president of the Boer re-
public, had been given the oppor-
tunity to dictate the policy of
Europe. The old Dutchman, who
does not pretend to be much more
than an uneducated farmer, oc-
cupies a strange position in
European politics. A word from
him may plunge two or more
great powers into the most terrible
and most disastrous war the world
has ever seen. II he insists that
England shall recognize the COM
plete independence of the Trans
vaal, and appeals to Germany,
France and Russia in support of
his position, war would be almost
inevitable. 1t Is remarkable
situation for a man like Kruger to
be placed in.-Troy Times.

TO PAINT ON PLASTER.
A Plaster Cast May be Made to Look
Like Terra Gotta.

A Plaster Cast May be Made to Look
Like Terra Gotta.
How to paint plaster casts is subject
of frequent inquiry on the part of our
readers. The treatment is very simple
Get some boiled linseed oil and apply it
with paint brush to every part of the
cast, The oil will probably be almost as
thick as jelly; if so, warm it, and it will
become sufficiently liquid for use. When
it has soaked in and become dry, put on
one coat after another until the plaster
will absorb no more; then let the work
stand for some hours until quite hard
ened. Paint thinly, mixing turpentine
and little drying oil with the colors Sc
lected. About three coats will be neces-
sary, each coat being allowed to dry thor
oughly before the next application. The
first coat will barely hide the oil stains,
the second should make the work look
even, and the third and last should i'm
part to it richness, solidity and smooth
ness. The paint should be no thicker
than thin cream. Plaster casts can be
made to look exactly like terra Gotta if
skillfully treated. in..the manner described;
any shade selected can be matched A
cast treated in the manner indicated may
be washed with impunity.--Art Anna

In The WORLD OF FINANCE
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, July 21.-The stock specu-
lation to-day was characterized by re
markably feverish movement and sue
cessive. wide fluctuations in other 'direc-
tions. The volume of business was
large, though triie below yesterdays
record and, as usual, Sugar and st. Paul
were we'll in the lead in the point of ac-
tiv1ty. There was no news to account
for the rapid transactions in the specula-
tive temper aside from higher London
prices for American securities in London
and buying for that account in this
market, the favorable interpretation put
on the decision of the banks to protect
the gold reserve sof the Treasury, an
easier tendency in the foreign exchange
market and improvement in the railway
and Government bond markets.
The opening was strong and active
under the influence of the higher London
market and expectations that the banks
would at once begin deposits of gold at
the sub-treasury in considerable sums in
exchange for legal tender notes. The
initial advances ranged between 1-2a2 1. 4
per cent. Before the end of the first half
hour prices reacted sharply on realization
and determined attacks by the leading
bear operators. In the railway list the de-
clines extended to "a per cent and to
per cent. in the industrials. The inter-
nationals comparatively were held in
London buying which was also effective
in the railway bond department. The
losses referred to in the general list car
ried some stocks below yesterdays finals.
The dealings were heavy on the down
grade. About midday, at the low level,
buying chiefly to cover shorts rallied
prices to the best figures of the day, with
the grangers and Vanderbilts particu-
larly strong. After 2:15 another on
slaught was made by the bear contingent,
causing recessions from the top level ex-
tending to 2 IA per cent in Chicago

net changes irregular and fractional

Nest Of Clock SPRINGS.

In the Museum Of Natural History at
Soleure, IN Switzerland, there is a bird )
nest made entirely Of steel. There are
q number OF cloc', making shops az
Soleure. and in the yards Of these there
are often found lying disused or broken
springs Of clocks. One day clock
maker noticed in tree in his yard a
birds nest of peculiar appearance. EX-
amining it, be found that pair of wag-
tails bad built a nest entirely Of clock
springs. It was more than four inches
across. and perfectly comfortable for
the birds. After the feathered archi-
tects had reared their brood, the nest
was taken to the museum, where it is
preserved as a striking illustration Of
the skill Of birds in turning their sur
Ioundings to advantage in building
their nests.

two years employed as construction

But he was very lecn. why said
Barney Kelley. 'you coui6 feed the
giant on porterhouse steak and eggs
and lac wouldn't gain pound; but lie
was an awful tough mani"
His arms were very long AMI he had
hands as powerful as the paws of
gorilla. All over his body the muscles
stood out IN Jumps and cords, and lis
strength was immense. He could - as
much work IS two ordinary men. and
on that account his services were az

wages. He was especially serviceable

An AK was like a TOY in his hands a
cant-dog like a walking-stielS. lie could
up end and shoulder a small log or piece
of timber that two ordinary men could
barely lift. and in every department
of hearty manual labor he was very
Hercules.
Many stories are told of the giants
mighty strength. Once. when two
saucy woodsmen 'guyed" him about
his towering height, he seized them by
the shoulders, one in each hand, and
knocked their heads together till their
teeth rattled-and they were two good
sized men.
At another time some toughs came
into a barroom where he was and pro-
ceeded to clear the place out" Mort
arty took them. two at a time, and
pitched them half way across the street
as though they were so many ninepins.

How Society People Go wheeIing-At-
tending Grooms aud Maids.
The form of bicycling is beginning
to be studied. Grooms on wheels must
follow their mistresses as they did on
horseback; it is probably only ques-
ton of a short time when the lady's
maid will have to include wheeling with
her other accomplishments to secure a.
situation. On the road the woman who
wishes to ride la mode has to know
a number of little things that are over
looked by another woman, just as the
smart set have a code for riding and
driving that is as memorable as that
they should not eat with their knives
or put sugar on oysters. Society in
sists on an upright position, with, of
course, no attempt at racing pace. 1t
also frowns upon constant ringing of
the bell-that viii do for the vulgar
herd who delight in noise; the well-in-
formed wheelwoman keeps eyes and
ears alert and touches her bell rarely.
