RECORD DAY
In Many Particulars on the New York Stock
Exchange.

BY Associated Press.
New York, April 3.-Today was a
record day in many particulars on the
New York stock exchange. The extent
and variety of the price movement has
rarely if ever equaled in bull
market, although the crumbing of
prices in panic has occasionally
caused as wide variations All ordin-
ary standards fail in the computation
of such a market. The forces in op-
GRAFTON were titanic in their powe!
and effect. Speculative leaders bought
with. unsparing hand through the stun
ming avalanche of offerings which was
hurled upon them on the advances and
lavished their resources apparently
with the abiding convictio nthat the as
founding rise in prices was destined to
go indefinitely further.
The public followed eagerly any
show of strength at any point on the
list. Dealings were heavily predomin-
ant in a limited number of stocks, and
general speculation was decidedly in
fluenced by the movements of these.
Two stocks stand out conspicuously ev-
en- in this list, the price movement in
which was astonihing throughout.
There were kindred movements to
these elsewhere, both amongst the
Grangers and Coalers.

"To be critic of Oriental rugs" said

of painting, or of music, or of wine. 7

wear out in the palaces and MOSQUES

were prayer rugs, and were stepped

ish the Job. The cakes Of ice are then
ready for the man with the croWbar,
who prizes them apart and sends them
floating down toward the point where
they leave the water on the way to the
interior Of the icehouses. The cakes are
generally cut about twenty or twenty
two inches square, as the most con-
venient size for handling and transpor-
tation.
The houses for storing the ice are, Of
course, built so close to the water that
the elevator for hauling up the ice can
reach from the top of the building
down to the waters edge. The build
ings are, as rule, about the height of
three Or four story structure, and are
from 100 to $50 feet in width by more
than that in length. The walls are
usually double with an air chamber
of about a foot between the two walls
Sometimes the walls are treble, with
two air chambers for the protection of
the ice. The interior is divided into
several great compartments, which are
as separate as if they were in different
DullulDSS. Ills oil dllSC1uCnL Is I1duG so
that it will not be necessary to expose
the whole Of the interior to the outer
air when taking out a load of ice for
market.
An endless chain system, more or less
like the straw elevator of a thrashing
machine, is used for carrying the ice
from the water to the building. This
chain is operated by steam en-
CINE placed just underneath it and Just
outside of the icehouse. The chain Is a
wide, fiat surface, wide enough to cas-
lily accommodate cake Of ice, or even
more. The chain dips down into the
water, and while it is moving workmen
push the cakes Of ice upon it and they
are carried upward and into the ice
house, where they are packed evenly
together by ice showers. Nothing what
ever is placed about the ice, the old
sawdust packing system being quite
passe. When the house is filed hay or
straw is placed upon the top layer of
cakes and the packing is then complete.
Twenty or thirty thousand tons are
often packed away in one house.

Propagating the Mistletoe.

The story of how the mistletoe gets on
the trees is a most interesting one. Gov
ering the mistletoe twigs are pearly
white berries. These come in the win
ter season, when food is comparatively
scarce, and hence some Of our birds eat
them freely. Now when a robin eats a
cherry he swallows simply the meat
and flips the stone away. The seed Of
the mistletoe the bird cannot flip. 1t is
sticky and holds to his bill His only
resource is to wipe it off, and he does
so, leaving it sticking to the branches
OF the tree on which he is sitting at the
time. This seed sprouts after a time,
and not finding earth-which indeed it's
ancestral habit has made it cease want
ing-it sinks it's roots into the bark of
the tree and hunts there for the pipes
That carry the sap. Now the sap in the
bark is the very richest in the tree, far
richer than that in the wood, and the
mistletoe gets from it's host the choicest
OF food. With strange foresight it
does not throw it's leaves away, as do
most parasites, but keeps them to use
IN winter, when the tree is leafess.-La-
dies Home Journal

has an armchair covered with a soft
and silky fabric Of Titan red, which he
wove toilsomely out of rock, out Of red

Manayunk masons build cheap houses.
McGuck thus describes the weaving:

but the rock was crushed. and came
out good stock, with a staple an inch
long like asbestos.
"This fluffy stuff I threw into my
carding machine, and first it became a
soft, inch-thick rope, then a harder,
quarter-inch Irvine, and at this point

CHAPTER MI.

For nearly half an hour the occupants
of the tower remained without hearing
the smallest sound. Then there was a
slight, Earring noise.
They are getting over the fence,''
Mr.. Hardy whispered Go down now
every one to his station. Keep the dogs
quiet, and mind, let no one fire until l
give the signal"
Over and over again the blinking noise
was repeated. Cautious as the Indians
were, it was impossible even for them to
get over that strange and difficult OBJ
stacle without touching the wires with
their arms Occasionally Mr.. Hardy and
the boys fancied that they could see dark
objects stealing toward the house
through the gloom; otherwise all was
STILL
Boys" Mr.. Hardy said, Il have
changed my mind. There will be num-
bers at the doors and windows, whom we
cannot get at from here. Steal quietly
downstairs, and take your position each
at a window. Then, when the signal is
given, fire both your reyolyers. Don't
throw away shot. Darker all the rooms
except the kitchen. You will see better
to take aim through the loopholes; it will
be quite light outside. When you have
emptied your revolvers, come straight up
here, leaving them for the girls to load
as you pass"
Without word the boys slipped away.

They can never rise above the rank

who enlists in the navy must always

GATHERING THE ICE CROP.
Cutting System Now in Use Is More
Elaborate than Old Method.


In these modern days the cutting of
ice is q much more elaborate process
than it was fifteen or twenty years ago,
when workmen simply went out ON the
frozen surfaces of lakes and rivers with
a one-handled crosscut saw and cut out
the cakes, which were drawn up an IN
cline into the icehouses by means OF
ropes. Nowadays each cake is handled
more or less by about dozen men be-
fore it reaches its place in the lcehouse'
In the first place, if the surface of the
ice is not perfectly clear it is swept or
scraped free Of all snow or anything
else that may be lying upon it. Then
the marker, the man who is to scratch
the lines along which the ice cakes are
to be cut, begins operations. In a
frame, to which handles similar to
those Of pillow are attached for guild
ing purposes, are two teeth, one in the
rear Of the other. A horse attached to
this frame drags it over the ice while
it is directed by the driver who holds
the handles. The teeth cut into the ice

easily be traced. After cutting lines,
all running in the same direction the
marker cross-cuts these with lines run
ming at right angles, thus marking out
the exact size of the cakes to be cut.
After the marking off is completed, OF
sometimes before it is finished, the cut
ting machine is brought out on the ice.
This machine is somewhat similar in
design to the marker, but it is of heav-
Ter construction, stronger, and has teeth
about ten inches in length. Often both
this machine and the marker have an
extension arm fitted with teeth, the
stretch of the arm being the exact
width of a cake of ice. The cutting ma
chine is driven up and down the ice
until the knives or teeth have cut into
it their full length. If the ice is over ten
inches in thickness the cutting is, Of
course, not yet completed and the old
hand-saws are brought into play to fin
