DOG OF THe IRON MASK.
Although Only AN Aristocratic Statue It
Deceived the street MongreI

A relative who lives in one OF the one
lime fashionable mansions now be-
come students boarding houses, in the
south end, tells me "a pretty good story
of "a dog, says reporter for the Boston
Post. In the yard, where Il fountain
was once known to play, but where now
dust gathers, is an iron statue OF a dog
The iron dog watches and guards the
old fountain, but he in his turn has an
admircr and adorer. The other day,
hunting Tor another dog to go out and
play tag with him, came a young street
lnongrei. He was unaccustOmrd to the
ways OF aris1ocracy, and in his simple
ignorance supposed that anything that
looked like a dog was a dog.
Up to the statue he bounded barking
and wagging his tail. In stately inn
mobility the iron dog gazed on ont into
vacancy. This did not deceive the
other. He had seen plenty of dogs as
sumo just that naughty and distracted
manner when they did not care 10 fight.
Wishing 10 show his iron friend that he
appreciated his attitude, hut assuring
him of no evil intention, the dog from
the street kept on barking and wagging
his tail. He even ran around his friend
number of times 10 show that there
was no ill-will--as is the manner of
dogs. But the dog OF the iron mask did
not budge. Ny relative says that ne is
sure that even IL the street dog had
brought around n eat TO chase the IRON
dog would have remained unmoyed. A
red Irish setter came out finally and
called The street dog away. The latter
went with distinct traces OF reluctance
in his manner He liked the style of
that iron dog and had rather play in his
yard with him.

Antlseptlc Qualities in Coins.


1t is well-known fact that paper
money is liable to transfer bacteria
from one person TO another. and thus
to spread contagious Diseases. IL is also
supposed that coins, which are more in
circulation than notes, might similar
ly act as agents for spreading disease,
and Investigations in that direction
were made at the Vienna university
when Austria changed it's currency TO
the gold basis. A report about his OBJ
seryations was recently published by
DIR. Vincent in the Vienna Medical Ga
zette, in which he states that metals
act. so to speak, as antiseptics in regard
to bacteria, or microbes, the fact being
that these microscopic organisms have
but very short lease of life while on
metals. The destroying influences of
metals increase with their temperature,
and also with the close touch of the
micro-organisms with the metal. At a
temperature of IS to 100 degrees Fahren-
heit, which is common in the pockets
where money is carried, the destruction
of microbes occurs within three hours.
The various metals used for coins are
somewhat different in this respect, sill
yer being the most antiseptic and gold
the least. Copper and bronze hold
about the middle between the two more
precious metals. - st. Louis Globe

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Bradstreet's Finan
cial Review tomorrow will say:
In the main the ctHPept speculation ia of n
purely professional kind and requires no descrip-
tion or comment. Insshite of the duliness and
the disposition 1t naturally creates on the part
OF the regulars to act on the bear side there
was evidence from time 70 time that the under
are in firm. hands and athat liquidation is a
matter OF the past, Edrope took little or no
part in the proceedingsroexcep in the case of
the Northern Pacific, which was the real feature
OF the week. The circumstances connected
with the sales of a large block of Northern
Pacific securities to a Berlin interest were
widely commented on.
1t should. however, be noted that friends of
the property bought the stock In this market
with a confidence based on knowledge of the
circumstances in question, as well as the
alliance of the situation Of rates that has been
formed with the Great Northern railroad. One
of the fruits Of tails is seen in the steps which
1t is stated have been taken by the two COM
panies. to obtain representation in the manage
ment of the oregon Railway and Navigation
property from being used adversely to their in-
terests in these factors. One of these factonI.
the advance in Northern Pacific preferred and
common, which began last week. continued. at
tracing considerable outside buying, and car
rying the quotations on last Monday up to
3SM for the preferred and 1885 for the common.
Tie announcement of the deal between the reor-
ganization syndicate and the German interests
was, as usual, in such cases, the signal for real
izing sales and a recession, which depressed
the preferred to 37h and common to 1iA. In
Limitations were. however. forthcoming that
progress by the Northern Pacific management.
and the stocks of the road recovered somewhat
and displayed a very firm appearance.
Union Pacific was for a time unfavorably
affected by the deal concerning the Oregon Navi-
cation company. The stock regained ground,
however. when 1t was made known that this
transaction was not intended to be any way ad-
verse to its interests. and business was supple
mented by intimation from Washington that
interference by congress with the carrying out
of the present reorganization plan need not be
longer feared, and that no Increases in the
assessment on the stock will be made. The
movement on the Northern Pacific apparently
stimulated a little activity in another reorgan-
lied property, the st. Louis and San Francisco,
reports being circulated that its earnings were
favorable. Atchison was somewhat heavy. par
