BERLIN BoERsE.
Germany Is stiti Wrought Up Over the
 V Tariff Question.

Berlin, August 1.-The new German tar if bill did not have, a marked influence upon the Bourse last week, operators be- lieving that many. of the worst features would be modified. Ocean transportation shares however, weakened. The general tone of the market continues exceedingly heavy and marked by short selling. The shorts took advantage of the heavy un- favorable rumors regarding various com panies to beat down values; and in this they were assisted by the publication of numerous balance sheets which supplied inadequate information about the finan- cial condition of the companies involved.
 "A fatalistic tone, possesses the BourA> . says the Frankfurter Aerc-s, which makes, an exceedingly Respondent impress sion and ,augurs much evil.'
 The monthly settlement while passing off easily so far as the money market Is con- cerned has revealed an unexpectedly large short interest and this discovery has been followed by a gloomy feeling. The vossosche Zeitung begins It's weekly re- view in this fashion:
 'The physiogomy of the Bourse grows more gloomy from week to week and the general business situation becomes more and more threatening"
 .r. Much RottennessH
 The feeling is evidently growing that much rottenness still remains to be un- covered Commenting upon this phenom- ena the Frankfurt zeitung says: Tt is high time that the game of hide and seek were stopped and that we should honestly and frankly uncover the weak points in each company. Absolute openness is necessary to gradual re- turn of confidence. The weakest spot in the market was bank, stock owing to the difficulty of various institutions The leading attack was upon the National Bank of Germany and the attack upon the Breslau National bank was scarcely less vigorous. The shares of both in- stitutions fell, sharply owing to their financial relations with the Algemeine Deutsche Kleinbahn Gessellechaft, which confesses itself unable to meet its inter- est obligations lThis and other recent events it Is admitted, reveal the evils of the German system of financial conditions of industrial companies by banks. The vossiscfie zeitung today confesses that the evil gradually assumed quite dan gerOus form"
 The onlys strength. of the market was in domestic government funds, which ad- vanced more sharply than during any previous week of the year. Canadians developed great strength, rising all the week. Chinese features were also active and advancing. The ease of the money market was another marked feature. In sympathy with the foreign exchange buoyancy the market held firm The iron situation grows .yisib1y worse. Re ports multiply of the reduction of out put, wages and prices and of the dis charge of the workmen
 Proceedings in bankruptcy have been initiated against the Aktein Gesellchaft Fuerektrische Anlagen Und Bahmen of Dresden. which is a creation of the Kum- mer Company.

choIc. ana cnriou. Cats.

The plastic charm of the household
cat, in infancy and maturity, has made
it a favorite subject with sculptors
and artists. With the possible excep-
ton of young kids, who compose"
perfectly, no animal is so graceful,
whether in action or repose. Small
wonder, then, that with beautiful
forms, exquisite freedom OF movement,
such as only few housekeeping little
women can rival, and an alluring.
piQuant individuality, the cat is priced
as pet now, and was worshiped as an
oracle in ancient Egypt. The true cat
lover may be an art connoisseur, also
and seek far and wide for curio pussies.
Such is that delightful essayist, Miss
Agnes Repplier. who has at her hcne
in Philadelphia an interesting and val
liable collection of carved cats. Chief
among her treasures, according to the
Philadelphia Bulletin, is the goddess
''Pasht." This is a rare antiquity,
carved in green metal, unearthed in
the ruins at Cairo. Pasht has the
head and arms of cat. and the body
although her ears are cooked" she is
the perfection of repose. A bronze
model of cat made by Fremiet may
be seen near Pasht This is one of
the most delightful of this great
French sculptor's small figures Of ami
mails; all the imperturbable composure
Of the cat is in it The Viennese mod
els are nearly all characterized by
playfulness rather than fine modelling,
and some are only an inch long.
Mephistopheles rides on the back of
one of them. The sedate and thought
full German charmer is carved in the
shape of jug; its head may be lifted,
is painted on its back. Holland is
represented by a stolid specimen in
blue and gray stone. A carved wooden
cat, with sapphire eyes, comes from
Switzerland. The Chinese cat is yell
low,-the imperial color, which no one
is entitled to wear except members of
the highest class. unless decorated by
the emperor,-and its head is as
smooth and round as the ball with
which 1t is playing. One OF the most
remarkable pieces is a group of three
Japanese kittens carved from one
block of grayish white sandstone,
stained in few brown blotches. Their
bald, round heads have white eyes and
pink noses, and each cat has twelve
whiskers. They wear the conventional
full dress for cats in Japan-a ruffie
round the neck But the gem of the
collection is Lucky Merrick" -coal
black and alive, No curio cat, even if
made of fine gold with eyes of precious
stones, could be handsomer than this
living, breathing, purring beauty. Nor
is Lucky Merricks superiority wholly
esthetic; in an emergency his royal
highness could catch mice-Youth's

Some remarkable stories are told by
well-known French sportsman and
writer on natural history regarding
what he calls the surgical instinct
of birds. According to this authority
the woodcock, partridge, and rail, and
possibly some other birds, are able to
dress their wounds with considerable
skill. NJ Fatio says that on several
occasions he has killed woodcocks that
were, when shot, convalescing from
wounds previously received. and in
every instance found the old injury
neatly dressed with down plucked
from the stems of feathers and skill
fully arranged over the wound. evil
IDENTIFY by the long beak of the bird
In some instances a solid plaster was
thus formed and in others ligatures
had been applied to wounded or brok-
en limbs. One day. he AYERS, in his
bag he found a bird that had been
severely wounded at some recent pc
riod, and on examining the wound he.
found it covered and protected by a
sort of network of feathers plucked
by the bird from its own body and so
arranged as to form a plaster COM

and subsequently as a shield, covering
the wound. The feathers were fairly
netted together, passing alternately
under and above each other and form

game killed in his shooting excursions
he has found birds whose limbs had
been broken by shot. with the frac-
tured ends neatly Appropriated and

truth is vouched for by no less a
naturalist than Fulbert Dumonteil.
Another and really astounding fact re-
lated by NJ Fatio and also vouched for
by M. Dumonteil is in regard to a
woodcock that had been hit by NJ
Fatio in the afternoon of a certain
day. After long search the bird was
given up, but the next morning. by
accident, it was discovered, and in the
meantime the wounded legs were
found to be neatly hgated. bandage,

An Equine Policeman

A city ordinance in Detroit makes
it unlawful for hucksters or street ped
dlers to stand on public thoroughfare
longer than is necessary to make a
sale. The keep moving rule is not
always strictly enforced, however, so
an ingenious merchant who keeps a
fruit emporium on a prominent corner
has trained horse to do police duty
and at the same time keep rivals from
setting up in business in his imme-
date neighborhood Pedestrians on
the street who heard the command
''Sic EN-, Bill" naturally expected to
see dog respo: d. Great was their
surprise, therefore, when they beheld
a horse prancing along the curb. He
was nosing at banana vender, who
was excitedly trying to get out of
harms way-and he kept on until a
safe distance lay between himself and
the jumping-jack equine. The horse
then returned to his post in front of
the store and waited for other inter
lopers. 1t is an advantageous corner
and many hucksters trsr to do business
there. The horse, which draws a de-
livery wagon during the day, is sta
toned at the curb on busy nights, and
the moment vendors cart appears in
sight, the equine policeman is turned
loose on the offender. The owner of
the steed is proud of the record he is
making

TAUGHT CALF TO DRINK.
Strenuous Moments In the Life of Agri-
cultural Youth.

The time of year recalls the dear,
dead days beyond recall when the
farmers boy taught the calf to drink
from a pail. The Britt Qowa) Tribune
refers feelingly to these strenuous mo-
ments in the life of our agricultural
youth-moments that teach patience
and kindly dealing with the dumb ami
mails. For the weaned calf is full of
the infinite and eternal energy. 1t de-
sires its sustenance nightly. but it
desires it in the way nature has taught
1t to obtain sustenance The sight of
the pail seems to fill the calfs mind
with forebodings. The calf desires to
look up when it drinks. The farmers
son desires it to look downward into
the pail. The farmers child must hold
the pail between his feet with his
hands. using two other hands to hold
firmly the cows child to its milk
When the calf humps its back and
tries to jump. it is necessary to hold
it down with two more hands. When
it breathes hard into the pail and
blows the milk all out, you must twist
its tail with two more hands. Just
before calf hunts it wiggles its tail
At the premonitory wiggle the tail
must be held also, meantime keeping
the calf's head directed into the pail
The Britt Tribune says: Don't get
excited; stand perfectly still, inspiring
the calf to confidence by your cool
ness and sang-froid. There is nothi G
equal to sang-froid in the initial les
son, and without this tribute the
pedagogue is sadly hampered. There
are other requisites, one of the chief
ones being that the teacher must know
more to begin with than the calf. By
following these directions closely a calf
can be induced to fill itself with in
MIGRATING, ife-prolonging milk in a
very few lessons, so that it will run
its nose clear to the bottom of the pail
the first bunt" When you feed a calf
it is better to be alone. Especially is
it necessary not to allow the women
of the homestead to be present. The
proceeding sometimes looks like cruel
ty and they have other methods of
calf breeding that seem more feasible
/. to them at critical moments, thus
shaking your confidence in yourself
and incidentally shaking the Calls al

1t is an art-that of calf feeding
that has not been sufficiently treated
in the bulletins of the agricultural de-
partment.-Minneapolis Journal.

quieted down and then returned and
gave themselves up, on the grounds
that the deeds were committed in
self-defense. They were indicted for
murder and tried in a hostile county.
where public feeling was against them.
The jury brought in a verdict of muir
der in the first degree in Anderson's
case, and of manslaughter in Rays.
The sentences were hanging and 90
years Imprisonment, respectively.
The friends of Ray and Anderson at
once began to plan to free them. Ac-

time before Anderson was to be

the jail at Asheville, where the men
were confined.
The unsuspecting jailer was seized

In Mitchell county. Bailey and his
friends were in possession. Ray, bit
terly set against yielding, attempted to
smoke the Bailey men out of the mine
Unsuccessful in this, he next ap-
pealed to his brother-in-law, Anderson,
then young man of Is, deputy col
lector of internal revenue and greatly
dreaded by the moonshiners. 1t was
decided to force the issue in person,
and the young men started for the
mine armed.
The Bailey men, who awaited them
at the entrance to the mine. were SINH

Anderson had been attacked at the top

it is that Horton was killed.
