that the mutual attraction of the

that because the mutual attractions of

the system 1T is, therefore, of necessity

tenor, was stranded at country iunc-
tion, waiting for a train. 1t was cold
and miserable, and the singer was nat
urally not in the best of tempers. While
chewing the cud of disappointment. an
old railway porter, who recognized him
from the published portraits, entered
the walting-room.
"Good evening, Mr. Sims Reeves" he
said.
Good evening. my man." replied the
vocalist, getting ready the necessary
tip. But the man sought for informa-
ton rather than tips.
"They tell me you earn a heap of
money" he remarked.
"OhT' murmured Mr.. Reeves.
"And yet" pursued the porter, "you
don't work hard. Not so hard as do

to do it. He was so gentle that he
could safely have been driven by

we pleased, entirely by himself, and
were always certain to find him in ex-
actly the spot where he had been left.
We had such faith in him in this re-
spect that we got into the bad habit,
when We were visiting at a house, of
leaving him standing at the door and
thinking no more of him until we came
out. One afternoon my wife and

riors whO haying fought in many
climes against many people, are still
hale and hearty. The other day one
of England's veterans. Field Marshal
Sir Frederick p. Haines, celebrated his
eighty-tirst birthday.
Just sixty-one years ago he began his
career as a warrior, and fifty-fve years
ago he went through his first campaign,
seeing most of the fighting that took
place in the Sutlej campaign of 1S45.
Almost the first time he smelt powder
he was desperately wounded
His next campaign was that in the
Punjab In 1889, and later he fought
through the ill-managed Crimea. TweR-
ty years later he was made command
er-ln-chief In India, and was specially
thanked by Parliament for his tact and
energy in the Afghanistan operations.
The old warrior is hale and hearty
and still has an opinion of his own. 1t
is told of him that a dictum Of Lord
Wolseley's was quoted against one of
his own. Sir Frederick raped his cane
on the floor and shouted:
"Wolseley! Wolseley! A clever lad.
I'll admit, but mere stripping, sir

only 81, that settled it, of course.-PhiI-

receipts have also been heavy, and the
so-called Wall street interest has been
reported to have been liquidating.
Flour is dull but the decline of 10 to
30 cents per barrel has tended to help
export business.
The textile situation is not altogeth-
er clear. Cotton has weakened ON in
creased stocks at the South.
War, or rather rumors OF war, have
teen the chief subject OF discussion IN
the iron and steel trade this week,

pressing effect on sentiment. New

very large, and conditions rs whole
