THE LATEST SILLINESS.

Astrology, chiromancy and kindred sciences survived the middle ages, and for aught we can tell many an anxious inquirer to-day is busily engaged, with the aid of retort and crucible, in quest of the philosophers stone, or in seeking to fix the site of buried treasure by means of simple suffumigation. Peo- pie pay money to have their characters told from their hand writing. No fancy bazaar is complete without it's soothsay- CT or spaewife. This adept is, as rule, more polite and discreet than Cadwalla- der in "Peregrine Pickle" But for an adequate fee he or she is quite prepared to Tighten nervous clients into fits by predicting evils imminent or remote.
 In private life many ladies may be found to read your hand with the per- spicacity of a Heyraddin Maugrabin, or to construct your ephemeris with the judgment of Galeotti. They will dis course to you fluently of lines of life and health, of Jupiter, of Mercury, and. above all, of Venus. If Saturn to ap- pear combust they will pull a long face, and their alarm for your future will know no bounds If Mars have more dig nifty than is rightly his in the cusp of the twelfth house.

AN "ExTERIoRIzED SENSIBLE
TY. D

M. Jules Bois, a journalist who was very much to the fore during the devil worshipping scare of two years ago, has of late been delighting visitors to Monte Carlo by an exhibition of hypnotism in conjunction with a certain Mile. Lima. The woman claims to have what French occulists call an "exteriorized' sensibil- ity, so that when once hypnotized she suffers nothing when you pinch her. If, on the contrary, you pinch the air at a little distance from her, she Jumps. If a wax figure or even a rose be placed within the sphere of this woman's exqui- site sensibility, she afterwards suffers if the object be ill-treated as much as if the ill-treatment were applied to herself. Thus, says M, Jules Bois, is explained the bewitchment by means of wax inn ages so common in the middle ages, and, he might have added, among the lowest savages. And this of course is due to electricity or ether waves, or something of the kind. M. Jules Bois is clever writer, who once collected some amus- ing information about the Little Rel- gionists, or sects of cranks to be found in Paris, as in every great city and prob ably knows a very great deal better. We wonder whether he remembers Gen. eral Rogets historic reply to M. Deroul- ede. Pas de plague? ?"-Pall Mall Ga zettc.

The Stock Market.

New York, May 22-The market
 drifted downwards almost uninterrupt-
 edly to-day until the aggressive upward movement in Sugar developed late in the
 day. This seemed to affect the whole list by sympathy and prices retraced
 their earlier downward course. They only recovered to Saturdays level, how
 ever, in few cases. Losses on the day are general, but are within point in most of the railroads and prominent stocks. There was no real support to
 the market at any time, the outside in- terest in securities being about all.
 Neither was there any serious pressure of liquidation. The result was a dull and apathetic market with the bears nibbling here and there to develop weak points in the list. They were not az glessiVe in their tactics and did not dis lodge any large amounts of stocks, the market becoming practically stagnant whenever this short selling was desisted from. The dropping tendency of prices was nevertheless very marked and was assisted by positive weakness at few points. Stocks of companies which profit by franchises within the state of New York were especially weak on the assembling of a special session of the legislature to act on the franchise tax bill. Metropolitan Street Railway, Man hattan, Consolidated Gas and Brooklyn Transit all showed conspicuous declines, from to points, and over. in the case of all but Manhattan. Third avenue was a conspicuous exception to the group and rose points on a pro- posed new stock issue. These stocks

 In Manila, where there is an interest ing field open to the naturalist, the na- tives have "a rdueer substitute for glass It is bivalve shell of about nine inches of surface, so transparent that print can readily be seen through 1t, and admit ting mellow light in room where it is used as a window glass
 The shell is an attractive object, per- fectly straight, and in appearance re- sembles isnglass. One would almost imagine that it was some skilful inven- tion of the natives could not the growth rings be readily observed. The outer side of the shell is perceptibly rough, while the interior Is perfectly glazed over, and in the light has the pearly lus- tre found in many of the thin-shelled, oyster-like mollusks of the tropics. The shell is the "Placuna placenta" of sci ence, and Is well known in China, the common name being the Chinese window oyster. It is employed there also for windows, and used in lanterns. The Chinese grind up the shell and make from it the silver paint so common in their water-colors. Industrial Record.

HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL TUESDAY,

drifted during the day on political gos- sip regarding the chances of the Ford franchise taxation bill and all showed notable rallies, the net losses being smal. except in the case of Brooklyn Transit and Consolidated Gas, which closed points lower. The grain carry ing roads both in the west and south west were favorites of the bears on con- tinued talk of crop damage. Anaconda Mining, American Smelling the iron and steel stocks generally and a number of other new industrials showed conspicu- ous weakness. On the other hand, New York Air Brake was marked up 10 points and Ann Arbor preferred, usually very inactive, rose points. The after noon rally was induced by the vigorous upward movement in Sugar to 131 on very large and confident buying. The uneasiness of the shorts over this dem- onstration of strength drove them to cover in other stocks, making the close quite active and firm. The holiday in London withdrew the usual influence from that source. Money continued abundant and easy and the foreign ex- change market abated none of it's firm ness, though there was no large demand for bills.
 The bond market was affected in sym pathy with stocks and showed an abate- ment of it's recent activity and devel- oped weakness in spots. Early in the day there was a continuance of the large absorption of some of the new is- sues, but this fell off as the day pro- gressed. Total sales, S3170,000

 the generally prosperous conditions of

The low money rate Ia ter in the day in vited a rather active buying movement in the late dealings and in some cases there was an urgent demand for shorts, causing some sudden Jumps in prices The closing generally was firm, though slightly below the best.

Davis anu Naru SEOWu Out the OthcE Competitors-They VIII Also Play Allen and Haclett, the Yale Cracks, in inc DoubIes-AiIen Meets His Match n Davis. s.f.4
 To-day is the last day of the inter collegiate tennis tournament. Judging from yesterdays play the Harvard players will bear off all honors. One chance remains for Yale though, in the doubles. the finals in which will be played this morning, when Allen and Hackett of Yale will meet Ward and Davis of Princeton. This match will be the most interesting of the whole tournament.
 In the semi-final doubles which were played yesterday, the Harvard players Ward and Davis, easily defeated Hummer and Childs of Yale, while Yale's crack team, Hackett and Allen did likewise to, the Princeton players, Little and Alexander. The easy vic tory of the Yale players over the latter occaeioned much surprise. In their match with the Harvard players Mar win and Thomas, the Yale duo, won easily.
 The semi-hnal matches in the singles were also played in the morning, and in these the Harvard cracks, Davis and Ward, also swept everything be- fore them. Allen showed but poorly against Davis, and Little of Princeton was hardly better against Ward. Ward and Davis will play each other in the final matches to-day.
 Yesterdays scores were as follows:
