BERLIN MONEY MARKET.
Review of the Conditions of the
Last Week.

BERLIN. March I-Money continued
high last week and private discount is
now only II below the official rate All
hopes of lowering the Reichsbank rate
are abandoned for the present. Indeed.
an increase is even considered probable
before the end of the month. The money
market is unfayOrably affected by the
British war loan.
The Bavarian 81. per cent loan, amount
ing to $4,000, 900 marks, to be used for rail-
way building and equipment, will b. sub
scribed next Thursday at 931s. Under
such influences imperial and Prussian So
have been unfavorably affected. They
continued to fall all the week, making a
new low record. The National Zeitung
says 1t has trustworthy information that
TO Prussian loan will be issued in 1900,
and that an imperial loan is improbable.
Official circles are said to be much con-
cerned over the fall.
Several issues Of industrials last week
were heavily oversubscribed at high
premiums. The Berlin society Of cleo
trical undertakings will offer next Tues
day 100000 marks of AZ per cent OBJ iga =
lions for subscription at 1O1.
The Helios company at Cologne has
secured the contracts for supplying, cleo
tri2 lighting plant TO Rio Janeiro. for
which 100000 francs of per cent OBJ
legations will be issued
Speculation in industrials was more
quiet throughout the week, but Prince
Hohenlohe's declaration against the meat
inspection bill strengthened the market
yesterday. Iron shares continue firm
upon renewed price advances by the
trusts. Wrought iron for 1901 is UP 10
marks, girders have risen the same, and
bars Is. The iron manufacturers give
little attention to reports Of weakness in
the American market. as they assume
that American demands will outrun pro-
duct'on for more than a year. Imports
of English pig iron into the Rhine coun-
try are increasing.
The coal and coke famine continues,
although many cOking ovens are under
construction.
The Prussian railways have ordered 165
locomotives and 100 freight and baggage
cars, but the pig iron syndicate an
nounces that it can meet only seven
twelfths Of the orders for 1901

that she had never been there pre-

How to Give a Cat medicine.

fine Angora cat, and so fine a specimen
of her kind that she is famous in a
large circle of fashionable folk. She is
not rugged in health, yet she cannot be
persuaded to take physic. 1t has been
put in her milk, it has been mixed with
her meat, it has even been rudely and
violently rubbed in her mouth, but new

Would Not Leave 1t to Go For Money

81 won't go out! won't leave here
for anything!'
Such was the amazing declaration Of
pauper attendant in an east end Lon
don workhouse on being told by an
agent that he was entitled to some
money. And the man-the son of a
| post captain in the navy-meant all
that he said. Not an inch would he
bulge, nor would he sign any paper,
and it was only by taking a commits
sioner down to him that the fund
could he recovered.
Whether because it was only COM
paratively small sum or whether be-
cause he was a worker, the guardians
made no claim on it. Accordingly, at
his request, it was split, and two ac-
counts were opened on his behalf in
the Postotiice Savings bank. But, for
all that, he continued to remain in the
workhouse.
Meanwhile he was very anxious that
his wife should not know he was alive
in fact, he denied that he was mar
ried. Ills life partner however, called
at the agents office to inquire about
the case, though she begged that her
husband might not be told of her
whereabouts. She was in fairly
good position, earning as she did a liv-
ing by keeping a ladies' school, and
once or twice her reprobate husband
had turned up in an intoxicated condi-
tion and raised a commotion that had
scandalized her pupils. The ill sorted
pair were. therefore, not brought into
communication.
Never would the pauper legatee leave
the workhouse. He remained there till
his death, whereupon, having left no
will, the money lie had scorned to use
passed to his wife.-Cassell's Saturday

A sLuMsEB SONG.

Sleep, my beloved. To sleep and dream is best.
The night TO us is peace tie Hay Unrest,
For day, while parted, brings to Us but pain;
In dreams we live the dear past o'er again.
We weep not in cur sleep;
Our tears are for ihe dav,
Which smiles White but weep,
For chou art tar away.
flushed be the voices OF the yarish day.
Its frets and cares and SORROWS swept away;
Forgotten quite the interval Ii years
Since last we met with all their bitter tears.
Sleep, love To dream is best.
our waking is but pain
In sleep alone We rest
And live the past again
Sleep, my dear love, and be thy dreams Of mel
Waking or sleeping still think Of thee,
But dreams make present time Of al the past;
The night restores thee-woull my dreams might
last!
Dream, dear, till the day breaks
And earthly shadows flee,
Where morn TO grief neNr wakes
And he one with thee.

ARMORED COFFINS.
They Were Once Used In n Church.
ynrd In Scotland.

In the earlier half Of the nineteenth
century the practice of stealing bodies
from the churchyards for the purpose
of sale as subjects for dissection, which
was known Us body snatching," was
for a time very rife.
Various plans were made to defeat
the nefarious and sacrilegious proceed
ings of the 'body snatchers," or ''resur-
rectionists," as they We're sometimes
called, n very common one being the
erection of two or more small watch
houses whose windows commanded
the whole burying ground, and in
which the friends of the deceased
mounted guard for a number of nights
after the funeral.
a usual method of the grave robbers
was to dig down TO the head of the
coffin ana bore in it large round hole
by means of specially constructed
center bit 1t was TO counteract this
maneuver that the two curious coffin
like relies now lying on either side of
the door of the ruined church of Aber-
foyle in Perthshire, were constructed.
They are solid masses of cast iron of
enormous weight.
When an interment took place one of
these massive slabs was lowered by
suitable derricks, tackles and chains
on to the top OF the coffin, the grave
was filed in and there it was left for
some considerable time. Later on the
grave was opened and the iron armor
plate was removed and laid aside
ready for another funeral.
These contrivances still lie on the
grass of the lonely little churchyard,
objects of curiosity to the passing cy-
clist and tourist.-Scientific American.

Very FOrcibIe Argument.
An old story is told of Joseph Robi-
douX, the founder of st. Joseph, that
had its origin in Holt county in the
carly settlement of that section. The
trader who started the city was re-
turning to St Joseph with number of
red men, and they stopped with an ac-
quaintance of Robidoux's close to
the house, and RobidouX went in to re-
main overnight as the guest Of his
friend.
The settler closed the front door aft
er they had retired, and Robidoux, who
was used to sleeping in the open air,
went softly to it and opened it. The
owner of the house waited until Robi-
doux was in bed again, and the settler
closed it. That was repeated a dozen
times. 'The next time that door is
closed there will be trouble" said the
man who had founded st. Joseph He
resumed his couch with that.
The owner of the house closed the
door, and RobidouX met him as he was
returning to his bed. They clinched

was hard fight and lasted a long
time, but at last Robidoux had the set
tier on his back and sat astride of him.
He tangled his hands in his hair and
bumped his head against the puncheon
floor. '"Open or shut" he asked. The
settler struggled, but did not say a
word. His head was bumped many
times, and the question was repeated.
Finally the settler was exhausted.
His head was bumped again, and Ro-
bidoux asked. "Open or SHUT?
"Open," answered the settler, and
they went to bed with the door stand
ing wide open, admitting the fresh air.

Reading n Book.

A writer in the New York Medical
Journal says that the curved pages of
the ordinary book are injurious to the
eye of the reader. The curvature he
cessitates constant change of the TO-
Gus of the eye as it reads from one side
to another, and the ciliary muscles are
under a constant strain. Moreover,
the light falls unequally upon both
sides of the page, further interfering
with continued clear field Of vision.
1t is suggested that the difficulty might
be obviated if the lines should be print
ed parallel to the binding instead of at
right angles to it.

MANS UPS AND DOWNS.

One who had found the world all bright
Fell by the wayside on day,
But hope bent down and kissed his cheek
And bade him rise and so his way.
He toiled in hungry loneliness;
The friends he knew in former DAYS
Forgot, somehow, to seek him out
Or help him on with words Of praise.
The weary years dragged slowly by;
One morning fame stood at his door,
And lined up in ain anxious row
We're all the friends he'd known before.
So failure or success attends
The man who loses or who wins,
That he may know where friendship ends
Z And where sell interest begins.

HOW Froren Ment peterinrntes.

Meats frozen and kept in cold storage
for long periods do not undergo organic
changes in the ordinary sense-that is.
they do not putrcfy, soften or smell
bad-but they certainly do deteriorate
in some intangible way. After a Ger
tain time frozen meat loses some life
principle essential to its nourishing
quality. Such meat lacks flavor; it is
not well digested or assimilated. Its
savorlcss condition cannot be remedied
or successfully disguised by the use of
sauces ana condiments
Those who eat cold storage food for
any length of time develop diarrheal
disorders, lose in weight ana would
eventually starve to death unless a
change of diet was made. The same
reasoning applies to timed fruits and
vegetables. They should not be used
nfter a certain period has elapsed.
Especially should people be warned
against using stale eggs and old milk
and cream. Milk and cream are kept
for days, rancid butter is washed and
treated chemically, but all food, and
especially cold storage food is dam
aged by long keeping. and will not
nourish the body properly. There is
the greatest abundance of food but it
does not satisfy Sanitary Record.

The ExDIanatio,

One morning the readers of a certain
newspaper were perplexed to see in
type the announcement that 1.-The SEQ
tus handed down an important deci-
sion yesterday" The afternoon paper
of the town, with which the morning
paper for years had held a bitter con-
troversy, interesting none but them
selves, laughed that day, as the poets
say, "in ghoulish glee," and it was up
to the morning paper the next day to
explain that ''the types" made them
say that the Scotus did so and so when
the telegraph editor should have known
that that word was merely the abbre-
Walton of the telegrapher for supreme
court of the United States.
