The Junior Tea.

The junior tea at the home of Mrs. W. w. Farnam on Prospect Hill was perhaps the handsomest of yesterdays teas. The house was lavishly decorat- ed Champion with greens and cut flowers.
 Green and pink were the color points in the dining room. Large punches of pink roses were used in profusion on the tea tables. The candelabrum show ed shades of pink. which shed a beau tiful rosy glow over all. Many palms and fern plants were in evidence throughout the house. In the hall green and white predominated. An ar rangement which showed the mastery of the artist was an ebony urn filled with ascension lilies. English violets and greens Many carnations of vari- ous hues were also much in evidence as trimmings. Mrs Farnam received fler guests in a handsome reception gown of white satin with canvas and lace trimmings.

Dealings in the Stock Exchange Character


 ized by Firmness.
 New York, Jan. 1S.-The opening deal ings at the stock exchange to-day were characterized by firmness. Trading was on an unusually large scale, and commission houses for the first time in a month or so transacted a good share of the business. Higher cables from London and foreign purchases of St. Paul added to the bullish feeling.
 The great abundance of money. the steady increase in the treasury gold holdings and the magnificent trade statement just issued by the bureau of statistics continued to be the moving causes. The rise during the first hour of trading was equal to 1a02& per cent, Lackawanna, Jersey Central, Erie first preferred, Sugar, Manhattan and the grangers leading.
 The demand for stocks abated during the afternoon, and at the same time the traders began to reduce their lines. The result was a general decline of 70 3A per cent, Manhattan leading with sales as low as 9O& Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred dropped from If to 1O14 on light dealings.

and scoffing, and especially so, as often those who ran to tell them were not in- tellectual at all Those who cared much for the virtues and were prepar- ing to find the Tree of Life in another world would not examine the seeds or hear of them either, because those who told about them were no better than they. They said, moreover, that the seed had not improved them, and this was apparently often the case, for as soon as it took root it required very pure soil, and those who had it found they had to weed their hearts constant ly so that some grew tired after time and gave 1t up, and others found so many weeds to be thrown out that these were the chief things visible for a long time to outsiders. In vain did the believers in the seed beseech. Look at them, not at us. We make no claim to goodness or greatness" It was use less. They were still ridiculed and called conceited.
 By perseverance, however, they found many who were eager to use this wonderful gift, which had been sent and when heard of them the number was increasing. This seemed to me an Interesting story and I have told it, thinking it might be useful in case any such thing should ever happen on this planet. SEPHUS.

senate regards with cool and critical
calmness, and vice versa. In the same
way, no matter how much in sympathy
the congress may be with the execu-

rights in all financial matters. 1t is
said that President Mckinley has a
comprehensive plan of currency reform
which he will recommend in his mes
sage next December. As the President
is an cid hand in congressional mat

that no congress- will be likely to fol-
