THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review. .

New York. Feb. 2i.-rhe slump in the
stock market this morning was as sud-
den and so violent that the trading al
most took on panic conditions, but the
avalanche of liquidation was practically
over i'll less than half an hour and there
was some quick recovery. The dullness
and the reCuperative tendency that fol-
lowed showed that the determination to
let go at whatever sacrifice had been
quickly abandoned and a late drive by the
bears found prices by no means so unre-
sisting as in the morning. The covering
of shorts worked substantial rally be-
fore the close. The early slump ranged
from one to nearly five points in the
standard shares and from that up to an
extreme decline of II points in Metropol-
itan Street railway in the specialtles.
Recoveries, though sharp in some shares,
were at no time complete in any stock.
The later tone of the market suggested
that the early break was at least encour-
aged by manipulationS and the substan-
tial character of the buying at the ex-
treme decline Corroborated the view that
there were waiting purchasers anxious
to secure stocks at a lower level OF
prices. But the fact was obvious never
theless that apprehension over the Gu
ban situation was more acute tnan at
any time heretofore. There were evil
IDENTIFY mass OF orders to sell at the
market when trading opened and com
mission hUs,cs report that these came
from many sections of the country indi-
eating an uneasy desire on the part OF
holders to realize on their securities. The
character of the buying is evidence that
there are owners of large capital who be-
lieve that the. situation has been fully
discounted in the decline which have been
made. Total sales were 13S4UO shares.

The strong attachment which a horse

touchingly shown by an incident given III

During Gen. Forests brilliant and MEM

OF Col. Coburn's regiment at the battle or
Thomsons Station, he was mounted on
his favorIte horse, Roderick desiring to
press the enemy from a etrong position

the flank of one of his regiments and or

accompanied the charge, and in the con

enemy Roderick was wounded in three
places. The general dismounted and
changed horses with his son. charging him
to lead Roderlck to the rear and have his
wants well attended to. On reaching the
hostlers Lieut.. Forrest had the horse
stripped OF saddle and bride supposing
that he was too badly wounded to attempt
to get our of the way. But Roderick, as
soon as he was set at liberty, began to
nose around evidently in search of his
master and when Gen. Forests, voice,
clear and unmistakable was heard Ia the
distance directing another attack, Roder-
ick instantly pricked up his ears, and

pursuers and when found was following
quietly at the generals heels, having
leaped three fences in his progress, be-
sides getting another wound, from which
he was bleeding freely. The general was
in great wrath over the supposed negli-
gence, but when the case was explained

arm about the horse. 1t was the last time
he caressed him, for a little while after

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
The Name Has Been Adopted In All
Parts of the Country.

Parts of the Country.
AS Il is well known that the first Presi-
dent died childless. 1t may be a surprise
to many to learn of the great number
of living men throughout the country
named George Washington. Had there
been a George, junior, the name might
have been perpetuated in direct lines of
the family until innumerable; but as it is,
to-day the great generals name has been
adopted broadcast.
A young man who recently met in the
capital Mr. George Washington seemed

many colored George Washingtons are
also found scattered throughout the coun-

Becoming interested, the young man
looked up some of the Washingtons of the
great cities. The capital seemed TO be the
home pof George Washingtons, as there
are no less than forty-one living there to-
day Curiously, not one of these is re-
corded as being colored, although this can
not be altogether correct, especially as the
number includes twenty-one laborers. -Four

investigation fully 300 George Washing

cities. This number would probably be

George Washingtons in the United States

Chinese Toy PeddIers Make Sugar

Few indeed would be their playthings
II Chinese children had to depend ION toy
stores for them. AS il Is. the peddler is a
familiar sight in every Chinese city, and
when the children hear the gong of toy
seller il is signal for a rush to the front
gates to catch him before he gets by.
At a call these men slip the pole from
their shoulders and set their baskets on
the ground, and there is always a group
of children ready to gather around him.
A display of toys carried by one of these
toy sellers includes many things familiar
TO Americans, though the shapes seem odd
and fantastic. Clay fruits, dolls of all
kinds, pewter jewelry, earrings and hair
ornaments, firecrackers Of strange shapes
which win hardly ever so off. toy pipes.

them sing while in the air and will have
eyes set loose in their heads, so that
when the wind blows the eyes will turn
around and look like they were winking at

blown like bugles that give out a beauti-
full, clear note. Little shuttle cocks made
out of a couple of cash bound together
with red leather and with bunch of
feathers fastened in the holes in the cash,

humping with their heads and striking
with their feet. Mods for making clay
money; whistling tops that spin on a
string held between two sticks; small
whistles to fasten on the tails of pet
pigeons to whistle as they fly.
You will also notice lot of clay molds
of different kinds of animals or fruits
or other familiar objects, and for one
cash YOU can take your choice. The toy
seller then opens up the bottom tray in
his rear basket and shows bowl of yellow
candy setting over pan of burning char
coal to keep IL soft. He rubs a little -four
in the moulds to keep the candy from
sticking, picks up a little of the soft
sweet, which he works into a ctIp-shape In
his fingers and then draws out, closing up
the hole. One end Is drawn out longer
than the other and then broken Off. He
places his lips 10 the broken place and
begins to blow and the lump of candy
slowly swells. Then he clasps the mold
which you have chosen around Ii and
gives a hard blow, breaks the stem
through which he has been blowing. opens
the molds, dips a little bamboo stick into
the soft sugar and touches 1t to the side
of the candy figure in the mold, lifts IL

stick, all in much less time than 1t takes

Pretty hands-like sweet tempers and
paragons of husbands-are largely a
matter of care and cultivation. Much
more so in fact, than most of us are
aware. While tapering fingers and perfect
palms count for considerable, the general
beauty of the hand lies not i'm its correct
outline so much as In the wilderness and

slender hands as perfect Of form and pro-

called beautiful OF course. we all know
that the Gainsborough model is perfection,
but nevertheless can content ourselves
with the knowledge that really ideal hands
are as rare as a few other nice things
in this world, and that we can struggle
along very we'll with our good imitation
providing we are able to keep them clean
and well groomed.
