The TaiIor's Experiment.


There is a story of an envious tailor cur
rent with the French peasantry He fan
cied that his neighbor, who received
pension for the loss of an arm incurred
while fighting for his country, was better
on than himself Both men went TO pay
their rent on the same day
That's lucky man" said the tailor to
the landlord. He gets well paid for his
arm.
But who would be willing to part with
an arm even if be were paid for it?" said
the landlord.
4 would" declared he other
You" cried the landlord why. man,
you wouldn't be willing to bear anything Of
the sort, no matter how much you were
paid for it"
i wish someone would try me-"
Now, see here, said the landlord who
had studied human nature, "IH tell you
what. if you'll wear even so much as a
chalk mark on your back I'll remit your
rent as long as you wear it on your coat
so il can be seen, the condition being that
YOU tell no one why It is there"
Agreed, said the tailor. eagerly.
That's an easy way to pay rent"
So the chalk mark, in the form of cross,
was made on the back Of his coat and the
delighted tailor sailed forth upon the
street
Strangers and acquaintanees hailed him
TO tell him OF the mark on his back. Jokes
were made at his expense, children laughed
and pointed at him, and his wife annoyed
him with questions, and with conjugal IA
milisrity told him he was a fool. The US
ually amiable man grew surly and morose,
he stunned men, women, and children, and
fTequented back streets. Before the week
was up the tailor found himself embroiled
in a quarrel with his best friend, his wife
had threatened to leave his house and he
considered himself miserable and ill-used.
Finally, one night, he took off his coat
and rubbed out the chalk mark and said:
There. / would not wear that cross on
my back another week. no, not II | could

New York cotton Market.
THE LONDON MARKET.
Advance In Discount Rates From
Five to Six Per Cent.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30,-An advance in
the rate of discount of the Bank of England
from 5 to per cent was the feature of the
London market today. The money market
in the British capital was very strong
with money on call quoted at 1-2G5 per
cent, and the rates of discount in the open
market for short bills S4 per cent, and
for three months bills 3-495 rs per
cent.
The advance in Bank of England s rate
is greater than had been expected by Wall
Street, an advance of but 12 per cent hav-
ing been generally anticipated, and some
persons had expected that the rate would
remain unchanged. It has not been so high
since the Barring crisis in 1890.
The prices of American securities in the
London market were, however. but little
changed today Grand Trunk closed in
London at 3-S and Anaconda at IA.
Spanish per cent bonds were 81 3-S; Tin
tos. 46 -. Bar silver was quiet at
q 5-1Gd an ounce. French gold coin
amounted to S., 600, and was bought by the
Bank of England.
