ECONOMY IN MMOCkS.
The Money So spent Does Not Always
Mean ExtraSaganee.

Mean EXtrhNaEnnee.
"You spend too much money said
Mr.. Diggles of Capitol Hill, to his esti-
mable wife.
81 don't spend any more than you
give me- she responded.
"Well, do you suppose l give you
money for no other purpose than to
have you spend it2"
"Really, John, | never supposed any
thing about it. All know is that when
| need money to buy things we need
more than we need money, | ask you
for it, and when get it spend it, and
when I do not do not spend it,"
"That's just about ON an average with
a woman's logic"
"Well, what would you think If
asked you for money just to hide away
and hoard for the future"
I'D think you were very saving
woman
"Perhaps you would, and everybody
else would think | was fool. m
much obliged, Mr.. Decides, but you will
please excuse me from using your
money that way"
at is, at least, not an eXtraVagant
way of disposing of it."
"Extravagant? I'd like for you to
name a thing I've bought in the last
month that we did not need, and that
did not get as economically as possi-
bly, could"
Mr.. Diggles was stumped for min
ute.
"Weu. there's that hammock" he
said. finally, as he thought how late
his daughter sat in it every night, and
not alone, either.
Mrs. Diggles' face grew red, for this
hammock had been source OF trl-
umph to her, and she would not for an
instant permit its efficacy to be ques-
toned whatever the cost.
Yes she answered, in tone of
suppressed feeling; there's that ham
mock. What did it eost?'
-Four dollars, when there were plen-
ty of them for sale at 50 cents, marked
down from d dollar"
Yes; and such hammoeks. John
Diggles, you talk like an IDIOT" and the
good lady began to speak very serious
lv. "You talk to me about that ham,
mock being piece of extravaganza
when you don't know the first princi-
pies of hammoeks. OF course l could
have got one for 50 cents, but do you
think was going to permit the s9-cent-
hammock style of young man to come
UP here seven or eight nights in the
week and firt with Katie, and she our
only daughter? No, indeed; didn't,
John Diggles, and | want you to un-
derstand that since that hammock has
been on the place there's always some
young man waiting for his turn, and
| instead of having those 5000 govern
ment clerks hanging around, Katie
won't look at one with less than ST, 400,
not to mention a real estate man in
business for himself. A month ago
Katie was as good as engaged to that
Young snip in the agricultural depart
ment at SIS a month, and only last
night she rejected a state department
clerk with $1,000 year. Still, Mr..
| Diggles, you think it is extravagant to
pay four dollars for a hammock that
has some style about it, and would like
to see your wife save $3.11 and destroy
the happiness of our daughter forever.
A nice husband and father, indeed, you
are, John Diggles," and Mrs. Diggles
burst into Washington Star.

THE GRACE OF FLExIBILITY.
American and European Locomotives
Used to Point n Moral.

There is such a thing as having too
much stiffness, not of principle, but OF
manner and temper. In an article deal
ing with the expectation of American
locomotives, which has largely in
creased of late years, the Scientific
American claims that the American
machine is especially adapted to the re-
auirements of foreign railroads, which
are frequently rough and uneven. THE
European locomotive" it says, has
always suffered from a certain rigidity
which, while it has no particularly bad
effect on the comparatively level and
straight lines which are found on
the railways of the old world.
has proved to be positively dis
astrous when these machines came
to run on the sharp curves, and more or
less loosely-constructe tracks of some
of the foreign and colonial railways"
The American locomotive, on the other
hand, is noted for the simplicity of its
parts, and its great fleXibility. These
facts in mechanics seem to teach les
son to the runner over life's often rough
and sharply-curving roadbeds. A mans
character should, indeed, like any en-
CINE, have its staunch supporting
framework, but his manners and preju-
dices should not be so absolutely rigid
and unrelenting as to jar and jounee
over every peeuliarity in the view or
conduct of others that may tend TO up
set his equilibrium. 1t is well to culti-
vate, for at least semi-occasional use,
the grace of fflexibility.-N. Y. Observer.
What Makes n Charming Woman.
The charming woman is not in the
habit of talking about herself and her
own peculiar troubles and grievances.
She has her bad days" like every
body else; but she takes care that
Others shall not suffer on her account,
and when she has an attack of the
dumps she isolates herself in order
that the infection may spread no fur
ther. She is, above all, a sympathetic
woman, and knows how TO make peo-
pie feel that she takes an individual
interest in them. She is never too busy
TO lend assistance. and a shake of her
hand is as good as a number of words
from anyone else. She is woman who
adapts herself to the varying circum-
stances of life, and Who prefers to look
on the bright side of things. All dis
agreeable and unkind remarks that she
/ hears made about others die with her,
and she knows how to say the right
word at the right time. In conversa-
tion she studies the sore points of her
acquaintances. studiously avoids them
aud adroitly introduces subjects on
which they can talk best. She is con-
tent 10 be the shadow If she can make
J another shine. - Philadelphia Public

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec. 29.-Sugar was the
only one of the leading stocks of the
list to show any aggressive strength to-
day, and after rising at one time almost
two points it was overcome by the gen.
eraI heayiness in the rest of the market
and closed with only small fractional
net gain. 1t was professional traders
market throughout and the industrial
stocks which had been recent favOrites
with the bull clique showed the effect of
realizing to-day. All of the local trac-
ton stocks were heavy but the selling
was not coupled with any news and the
declines were wholly technical. In Man
haitian the fall reached two points and
in Metropolitan Street Railway more
than that. Brooklyn Transit advanced
a fraction but fell again over a point.
Consolidated Gas is 31a points lower
than last night. Tobacco was notably
active all day and rose quite strongly
on an irresponsible published report that
the quarterly dividend ON the common
stock had been advanced again to per
cent. Disappointed holders sold the
stock down two points when it became
known that the rate was retained at 2
per cent. New Jersey Central and the
ooalers generally did not escape the
weakness of the other specialties and

that showed sharp losses. An indication
Of the narrowness of the market was
the fact that until near the close there
was not a single sale of such usually
active stocks as Missouri Pacific and
q and o. Burlington showed a degree
of firmness in the railway list on buying
invited by Yesterdays decline. The Buff
falo, Rochester and Pittsburg stocks
were both conspicuous for strength, the
common advancing two points and the
preferred four points. Fractional net
declines were, however, the rule in the
railway list. To-day's clearing house
statement showed the Sub-Treasury q
debtor again to the extent of 81, 15O, $50,
a reflection of the additional redemp-
tions of Pacific bonds. Still the money
market declined to yield its firm tone
in any marked degree, and it was only
in exceptional cases that the loans were
below 49, per cent and in some cases
four per cent was paid. Demand ster-
ling also hardened a shade to-day. he
ports from other domestic centres show
that their bank reserves are at present
unusually high, but exchanges continue
to run against New York. 1t was re-
ported to-day however, that Philadelphia
and Boston had repaid large loans as the
result of the high rates here. The large
balances at the clearing house show
that there is quite an extensive shifting
of loans still in progress. Prices of Am
orleans declined in London to-day and
selling here for London account was
quite a factor in the decline.
Activity in the bond market was con-
fined to middle and high grade issues,
the speculative issues being stagnant.
Prices generally advanced. Total
sales $1,750,000.

was apparently held up for time by a

hour the leading brokers' of the bull
clique in wheat started to sell some May
and the crowd emulated and in the end
surpassed their efforts in that direction.
December wheat was left at decline of

Corn declined ss cents. Oats in the
end were left at practically yesterdays
