THE STOCK MARX EI.
Intercst Continues Very Restricted.


 New York, Feb. 21.-Interest in the stock market continued very restricted to-day and operations were largely in the hands of professional traders as on the earlier days of the week. The dull ness was in part due to to-morroW's holiday. Even the closing up of con- tracts, incident to the eve of a holiday was on a small scale, indicating that outstanding commitments on either side are small. The apathy on the buy ing side aided the bear party, and they had the additional encouragement of positive weakness in a handful or stocks, of which Peoples Gas, Third avenue, and Leather were most af- fected,. declines in those three ranging from 5-S to 7-S the latter in Peoples Gas. There was Furthermore the har- dening tendency of the. money market, which was only evident in quotations for time money and mercantile paper, call money remaining easy. But in spite of these depressing factors the undertone in the general list was rather notable for firmness and in the railroad department net losses are the exception rather than the rule The srargers and Missouri Pacific suffered most from sell ing. The undertone of firmness was due in part to sympathy with aggres- sive strength in a number of individual stocks, notably Norfolk and Western, Southern Railway preferred, Reading first preferred, Erie Telephone and the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville stocks. London was a liberal buyer in this market, the buying for that ac- count being estimated at 35000 shares of the various international stocks. There was a sharp recovery ill New York exchanges at several interior cen ters to-day, indicating a cessation of pressure from that source Account is

DANGER IN A FOX BITE.
An English Baronst's Son Was Bitten
and Died of Blood Poi
soning.

Blood poisoning frequently occurs
in eases of wounds from the teeth or
claws of animals, especially those that
feed wholly or in part on putrid flesh,
and il is easy to understand that, in
the cases of such species as eat only
game of their own killing. there must
be traces Of their feasts, in the shape
of shreds of animal matter, left adj
herring 10 their claws and teeth TO
decay and become poisonous in time.
1t is for this reason that few mca
who have been "mauled"-as the Eng
lish express it--by lions or tigers ever
recover from their injuries. Arguing
that the number Of deaths on record
from the bite of the western skunk,
or "hydrophobia cat" may be trace
able to blood poisoning rather than
the rabies. The skunk seems TO have
a mania for biting people. but in this
respect he is not unique. The com
mon house rat where allowed TO be-
come OVERLOAD from their numbers,
frequently nibbles at the fingers, ears
or toes of sleepers in dark rooms. But
rats are not wholly carniyorous by ma
ture and in consequence there is less
danger in their bites. The eldest son
of Sir Pryse Pryse-a fox-hunting
baronet of Cardiganshire, England
died recently from blood poisoning,
superinduced by the bite of a captive

THE AGuLHAs CURRENT.
It's Stream Renders the Passage OF
Cape Horn Extremely DIFFICULT
and Dangerous.

Going south, we find the Agulhas cur
rent. beloved of homeward-bound sail
ing ships round the Cape of Good Hope,
pursuing its even. resistless course
around the southern horn Of Africa
changelessly throughout the years,
SAYS the Spectator. How its stubborn
flow frets the stormy Southern sea!
No wonder that the early naxigators
doubling the cape outward bound. and
fearing to go south, believed that some
unthinkable demon held sway over
those wild waves. The passage OF Cape
Horn from east TO west holds the bad
eminence to-day among seafarers Of
being the most difficult in the world.
but what the outward passage around
the Cape Of Storms must have been
before men learned that il was possible
TO avoid the stream Of the Agulhas cur
rent by going a few degrees south we
of these later days can only imagine.
What becomes of the Agulhas current
when once it has poured its volume OF
Indian ocean waters into the Atlantic?
Does il sink below the surface some
hundreds of fathoms and silently.
smoothly glide south to the confines OF
the Antarctic ice barrier, or does it
wander northward into warmer re-
gions? In any case, it fulfills the one
grand function of all currents, whether
of air OF water-the avoidance of stag

the nations Of the earth.

DOG MAIL CARRIER.
The sagecious Animal waits for the
Train and Takes Charge of
Mailbag.

Out in Kansas, where so many
things are different, there is big st.
Bernard mail carrier. He lives in one
of the little cross roads towns,
where the only store, which is also
the post Office, is 30 rods from the
railroad track. The train, says the
Detroit Free Press, always goes whiz-
ling by at a good rate of speed, whist
ling as it approaches. Nep hears the
whistle and hurries to the crossing
and waits for the coming of the mail.
The mail clerk kicks the leather bag
out of the door and il falls somewhere
in the vicinity of the road. Nep at
once goes to the sack. and carefully
taking II by the middle, so that
neither end will drag on the ground,
walks sedately to the store, where
he deposits his burden in a safe place.
He does this every day, in spite of
the weather, and the whole country
knows and is proud of the dog mail
carrier.
Nep is four years old, is two feet
seven inches in height, and weighs $50
pounds. He has no difficulty in carry
ing the sack, though the mail is often
very heavy with the weekly papers
from the county seat. for his teeth
are strong and he has carried over 100
pounds as a test of his strength.
