The Adjective.

A writer in Longman's Magaxin,
says that everybody nowadays In prose
or poetry claps on an adjective to every
noun. 1t degrades the adjective and
enervates the noun.
Then. too. there are host Of vulgar
overdressed people introduced into oul
company. whom we. the old-fashionet
adjectives, hardly recognize -"strenu
ous," "intense," weird" !" fiery" sym
pathetic" splendid, secure. "naive,
impressive" poignant" mostly at
tached, too. to the wrong nouns.
There are too many adjectives, and
they carry too much sail, like Delilab
bedecked, ornate and gay.
l noticed, as an instance the othe,
way, a criticism in a French review OF
the academician sea-captain who calls
himself Pierre Lott, whose style is So
defeated that he seldom or never uses
an adjective more startling thar

And Was Grieved that the Result W,
Disa DDOintiu0

| And Was Grieved that the Result was
Disappointing.
One Of the Lares and Penates Of q
family in town is plaster cast Of the
Venus of Milo, says the New York
Times. She was a treasure in spotless
white until one day when the owner
Of the armless lady had the misfortune
to read in a household magazine a pre-
scription which showed that by a coat
ing of oil the humble plaster Venus
might be changed into a glorious bit Of
] old ivory. The prescription was tried,
but it was not altogether a success. The
Venus, sure enough, took ON a deeper
tone in face and drapery, but her COM
plexion had more the atmosphere of
Jersey mud, certain plain-spoken peO-
pie said, than ivory. However, she
was cherished still and lived happily
despite her uncertain eastern tints and
adorned a conspicuous place modestly
and worthily.
That was until within a day or two
when the family to which the Venus
belonged took 1t upon themselves to
change their place Of abode. There
was some confusion, as there will be at
such occasions in the best-regulated
families, and for few days the Venus
stood around the house waiting to he
packed quite AS if she was not a beauty
and model woman. There is a moral
In this story which shows that If even
superior people resort to commonplace
practices they will be treated like com
mOnplace people.
One Of the other treasures Of this
particular family in addition to the
Venus was q nice honest Hibernian
lady, devoted to the scrubbing brush,
Ind with opinions Of her own concern
Ing many things in general and Venuses
Of Milo in particular. The time came
at last for the Venus to be packed, but
she was missing and investigation led
to the kitchen. There-strangely as

MIMIC NAVAL CoMeATS

How the Emperor Claudius Entertaiaed
His Friends.
At the time of the Roman empire, the
love OF splendid spectacle, in which
flowed freely the blood Of human be-
ings, found qualification in naval COM
bats which were exhibited like other
Shows, by the Emperor. They were
termed naumachiae, and history gives
a minute account of one that took place
during the reign Of Claudius.
The scene Of action was Lake Fucino.
Captives and criminals to the number
Of 300 were collected, placed on board
a hundred ships, and drawn up in two
opposing squadrons, called derisively
the Rhodians and the Sicilians. The
ships were large triremes and quad
riremes. To prevent the escape of the
combatants, guards were stationed
round the lake, and the RATS were
guarded by towers and platforms, on
which stood catapults and other en-
gines to command the fighting ships.
In front Of the RATS were arranged
vessels from the Emperor's feet to
compel the victims to engage or to mas
sacre them II they refused. In the mid
die Of the lake rose q silver Triton, who
wound his horn for a signal and en-
couragement to fight, while artificial
monsters played round him in the wa
ter. The rising ground about the lake
was fitted with seats. like an amphi-
theater, and was occupied by an eager
among whom was Claudius
himself, and the princes of the blood.
in their military dress, and the EN-
press, in q splendid gold and purple
robe.
The poor wretches that were doomed
to such isnoble battle, cried out to the
Emperor: "Hail. sovereign lord! We
whose lives are forfeit salute thee"
The Emperor answered, "Hailr'
which the hopeful unfortunates took to
mean that they were pardoned. Not SO.
FOR seeing that they delayed when the
signal was given, Claudius sprang
from his throne, and. totterins on his
weak knees, ran round the lake, urging
them on by gestures, and threatening
them with instant destruction II they
did not begin. Seeing that there was
no escape, the poor victims to this
brutal caprice attacked one another.
At first there was little loss, but warm
ing to the fight, ON becoming desperate,
they at length shed sufficient blood to
satisfy the spectators. and the lives Of
the remsindee, wese spared.

A fox, having been pursued by q
Barnard, VT, hunter and two hounds
escaped in a novel manner. The ami

dogs, when it dashed across the rail-

but the dogs were not SO fortunate.
The hounds were so eager for their

HEAVY SELLING IN
 STOCK MARKET On the Prospect of Decline in
 Cash Resources INDUSTRIES DEMORALIZED The Report of Decreasing the Amount of Cash in the Banks by $7oo0,ooo Proved Too Mucn for Specu-
 lators of the Exchange.
INDUSTRIES |DEMORALIZED

New York, December 7.-The prospect of a decline in cash resources of the banks of upwards of $7OO0.O00 proved too much for the fortitude of speculators today and they sold stocks, reversing the movement of yesterday. although they had the ad- vantage of new points of strength in a number of individual stocks. among the low-priced stocks, a demoralized tone in one or two of the industras more than offset this advantage.
 The sub-treasury has taken up from the banks during the week $6,1OO,OOO, including the deposits at the sub-treasury for tele- graphic transfer to the interior The di- rect movement by express although SUD- posed to be small on balance is certainly in favor of the interior. There is suspicion also that local shipments of cash which has helped the outshowing of the banks for the late weeks Is not to be relied upon for this week.
 These gains have been due to large ex- tent of the operations of a single bank In which is centered some of the most in- portant interests in the financial world s copper mining stocks. The course Of amal- gamated copper during the week has given rise to the apprehension that interests iden- tiied with it need not be expected to have taken measures to conserve the general money market situation.
 Business in bonds continued large. There was profit-taking in some of the specula- tive issues, but there was a noticeable in- crease in the demand for high-grade bonds, which made the market very broad Total sales par value, $4, 135, coo; U. S. Ss and 5s declined A per cent. on the last call.

 New Orleans, December 1.-The spinner has been only taking from hand to mouth and the consequence is that with heavy movement to contend with the worlds vis- ible supply has shown a big gain for the past seven days. If such weekly gains were to continue, there would be but one course to the market and that would be down. ward It may be. however, that the move- ment will now fall off, as private reports from the country tell of a larger per cent of the crop being marketed at this date than has been<usually the case. During the week ending today, there was cleared from American ports 317, ,591 bales, against thip- ments of 25S, 139 the week previous. During the same period port receipts, large as they were, 303, 430 against 245. .4S0 last year, were nevertheless smaller than the weeks ex- ports. showing that while the movement is comparatively large, there Is hole for all that can be had, and it may be that the hurry to get cotton to Europe is responsi- ble for the recent free receipts to outposts. Contracts are again selling at a discount of % points from spots, at which differ- ence buying of contracts this season has always earned a profit. What the bureau flas in store for us in the way of crop fg- ures next Monday is anxiously awaited. From the temper of the market 1t appears that bearish report Is expected.
