Stocks-Sentiment on the stock ex-
change favored lower prices during
the greater part of to-day's session, but
the feeling changed in the late deal
ings and prices were brought well
above yesterdays level before the
close. The late strength originated in
the southwestern group Of railroads.
Texas G. Pacific was the first of these
to advance, but the largest buying as
well as the greatest gain in price was
in ST. Louis Southwestern preferred,
which rose two points on the publica-
ton of the May statement OF net earn
ings, showing a surplus over eX-
penses of $S6,4S8, compared with ST.
255 last year. Missouri Pacific, Kan
sas & Texas preferred, Wabash prefer
red, Texas & Pacific and st. Louis
Southwestern preferred all rose be-
tween | and 2 points, and aroused an
active buying movement in other por-
tions of the list. 1t was notable, how
ever. that some Of the stocks which
have enjoyed the largest share Of at
tention recently fell into comparative
neglect when interest began to be
manifested IN the Southwesterns. The
grangers, however, after morning de-
clines averaging a point, were bid up
| well above last nights close in the late
dealings. The reports of good wealth
| er in the northwest and the
in the wheat market and Bradstreets
estimate of a decrease of 3,5C0,OO0
bushels in European wheat stocks
were the motives for the buying OF
the grangers. Part of this buying was
said to be to cover shorts put out yes
terday. Atchison preferred led the
late market in point of activity and
strength, rising 2A points above the
early low point. Manhattan showed
independent strength before the mar
ket generally had turned upward.
The stock rose to within a shade OF
122, but reacted about a point. The
| upward movement in Pennsylvania
and New York Central at the opening
on a published report of a plan to con-
solidate did not hold the general mar
| ket, though these two individual stocks
| maintained the advance in price pretty
we'll.
Practically the maximum gain for
them was established in London be-
fore the opening here. Pennsylvania
was held at 1873 only m~omentarily and
| ruled not far from 1877 all day. The
| early period of the market was given
over to continued liquidation. The in
| dustrial s~pecialties and local traction
| stocks were notably weak. The late
strength of the southwesterns were
shared by Chesapeake & Ohio, Cleve-
land, c., c., G.. & st. L., Tennessee
| Coal and Colorado Fuel. The grow
ing ease of the money market helped
on the. late recovery in values. The
fears of dearer money in London gave
way under the advance of the contin-
entail exchanges in London. The call
rate dropped from 8 to 2 per cent. in
| London, actual rates for sterling ex-
change fell A@%c in New York, and
| call money was offered down to 4 per
| cent. in New York.

His Business Always to Look Out
for the Other Fellow.
\ newspaper man has no bust
ness 10 seek office. 1t is his BUSH
ness TO try and get an office for the
other fellow; to sound the praise
o: the candidate and keep quiet his
own name and let his man forget
all about him when he is elected;
to defend his candidate against the
unjust attacks Of the opposition
and see that whatever favors his
candidate has to bestow goes to the
other fellow.
1t is his business 20 boom the
city for all it is worth, month after
month, and then see 500 worth of
printing go out OF the city because
10 cents can be saved in doing SO.
1t is the business of the newspaper
to give every enterprise frequent
send off and then catch shoel be-
cause he had failed to record the
fact that some prominent citizen
had his delivery wagon painted.
To subscribe literally to every
public. charitable and church en-
tertainment, advertise them for
nothing, pay his own way to every
thing, and then be called preju-
diced and mean-spirIted because a
column is not devoted to that par
ticular affair. Do you wonder that
there are SO many cranks in the
newspaper?-Ex.

BATTLE IN -soHooLRoom.

Rival Hosts of Ants Force Teacher and
Scholars to IncontinPntIy Flee.
A missionary who is in charge Of the
Catholic school at Myala,o on Lake Tan
ganyika, Africa, tells of an extraord;-
nary battle between ants in his school
room, which the pupils and their teach
er were compelled to abandon in haste
when the invading foe appeared IN
the scene. The deserted room became
the theater Of a holly contested battle
between the ants that had their homes
in the cracks of the stone walls and
another species which advanced to the
fight from the fields. The thousands
of ants living in the walls are known
to the natives as Masumbolo. They are
very large and black, and as it is al
mos impossible to get rid Of them,
and they have the excellent quality OF
letting human beings alone, little at
tention is paid to them. The invading
ants were not more than a third as
large as the other species. They are
called Siafou and are nomads and
thieves by nature. When they discov-
cred the home of the peaceful black in
sects they felt certain that a rich booty
of larvae awaited them and lost no
time in advancing to the attack. Their
sQuadrons moved forward in close
files. They clambered up the doorsteps
and into the room, moving very rapidly
and began the iercest sort of an at
tack upon the enemy, whom they sur
prised at home, engaged in their
peaceful occupations. Though the
Masumbolo are so much larger than
their fierce little enemies, they could
not stand against these formidable
aggressors, who are most effectively
armed with the sharpest and hottest OF
pincers. SO the attacked insects made
scarcely any resistance, but gathered
up as much of their larvae as they
could carry and fed at the top OF
their speed. They fairly carpeted the
floor as they moved toward the doors,
while their c%onquerors lost no time in
further attack upon the unresisting
fugitives, but began to pillage the city
that had been so suddenly abandoned.
A few minutes later, however, the Sia-
fou paid very dearly for the raid they
had made. Dozens of the schoolgirl
dren applied wisps If burning straw
to the cracks which the conquering
ants had entered and burned them at
the very place of their victory.

SILT DANCING.

The Chinese Celebrate Feifich Worship
with 0uadrines on Clothes Props.
The Chinese, in the interior dis
%tricts, where fetichism is still the pre-
vailing religion, celebrate all their fes-
tival days by dancing on stills. The
entire population, from the child Just
able to toddle to the gray-haired gram
father, mount on long poles and parade
around the town, shouting, singing
and throwing flowers. No one can be
excused, is the unbelievers are merci-
lessly punished Some French and
English tourists recently came upon a
crowd of this kind neal the village OF
Newchwang, in the extreme south
western portion of the empire. Their
arrival was unexpected by the Orien-
tails, who took il as very rude on the
part of the Europeans to intrude on
such a holy day. A turbulent mob of
perhaps 500 rushed on the Caucasians,
who numbered but a score, to do them
mischief. It "a impossible to distin-
guish sexes, as all wore rude masks
made of straw mats. So the travellers
quietly knocked the sticks from I'M
der a few dozen of the foremost, and,
bouncing on them as they pumped to
the ground, administered a sound
beating. The rest finally made off.
Had the Celestials been on foot, the
affair might have resulted seriously.
AS it was, by the time the majority
could get their feet united from the
awkward stills, the ~unsanctiied in
truders were far away.

Many must have noticed that in
winter time the sky seems to lack the
roOminess and lofty arching of sum-

cloudy days, to be nearer the earth
than is the case on similar days dur
ing the summer months. That this APP
pearance is no Pigment of the magma

all varieties of clouds float at a much
greater altitude in summer than in
winter. The months of greatest ele-

greet you with a wave of the hand
and a curious "Alofa.' They tattoo
the legs from the waist to the knee,
and as they stride along those mem
bers appear between the folds of their
drapery as if they were decently cloth
ed in skin-tight trousers. They are
indolent and, when not reused to
hostility, as amiable and fun-loving as
children. They work as little as pos
sible, and why should they? The
forest abounds in wild bananas, bread
fruit and yams, which may be had for

which they are expert in catching, and
