 THE STOCK " Al RK ElI.

| Closes Firm With Considerable Net
 New York, Nov. 15-There was some further effort by professional bears dur ing the early hours of to-day's stock
 market to renew the decline in prices
 which was in force yesterday, but the
 evidence was pretty conclusive that the
 urgent selling to realize profits was
 completed, and the bears renewed the covering of shorts, which was feature
 of the last hour of vest terday's market.
 The demand to cover short contracts
 was a considerable factor all day in the
 strength of the market, but there were
 evidences here and there of a renewal
 of the speculation for rise, or of buy
 ing of a subst antial character for
 reasons not disclosed. This was nota-
 bly, true in the local traction group,
 Metropolitan Street Railway rising
 1-4 Manhattan 3-S and Brooklyn
 Transit 5-S The buying of the Read
 ing stocks was on a large scale and
 caused sympathetic strength in some of
 the other coalers. The copper stocks
 made strong recoveries to the accom-
 paniment of reports of improving con-
 ditions in the trade. Amalgamated
 Copper was lifted over points and
 Anaconda 1 3-S. There was also an
 advance of IA in American Smelling
 and of 2 14 in the preferred, The Pa ciic Coast stocks made notable recover ies from recent heavy declines and
 there were points of decided strength among the Southwesterns. The more cheerful prospect in the money market was the dominant influence in the re- covery of stocks. The fact that no gold was engaged for export to London to- morrow relieved an apprehension on that score, further lowering in the buying price of gold from London this morning and the easier tone of the London money market wiping out the margin of profit of the transaction It is evident that London is not 1n- easy over the sufficiency of its pres ent money resources so long as Paris refrains from withdrawing credits. The belief still prevails that further gold will go from New York to Paris next week, although there is a relaxation of the pressure at that point for gold, re- flected in the advance in sterling ex- change to-day of a full centime in the pound sterling, The higher rate for money in New York is also deterrant influence. But foreign exchange in New York continues very strong both for sterling and Paris checks. Judged by to-day's preliminary estimates, the heavy gold exports by Thursday'si steamer have been more than offset by receipts from other osurces, so that the banks are likely to show a cash gain in to-morrow's statement. Up to Thursday night the banks had lost to the sub treasury, including the pay ments for the gold exported SS49, ,000 and this did not include the credit to the banks on account of yesterdays gov ernment redemptions which involved the payment by the sub-treasury of about million dollars. The market closed firm at considerable net gains scattered all through the list.

ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS.

When man first discovered how to
convey his thoughts to others by writ
ing he must have felt the want of
some means of embehishing his work,
and so the art of illuminating was be-
gun The earliest work Known is the
Egyptian papyra, containing portions
of the ritual or Book of the Dead, .
which is ornamented with many draw
ings and colored pictures. Excepting
the above, no other manuscripts of an
tiuuity were, strictly speaking, illu-
minated The Greek and Roman man
uscripts of the first century that have
been preserved to the present day were
only written. The oldest Illuminated
manuscripts, of which there are two,
are of the fourth century the Virgil of
the Vatican and the Dioscorides of
Vienna. These are ornamented in the
Byzantine style with vignettes.
The use of gold and silver letters Is
supposed to have been derived from
! Egypt but there are no records to
show that this was so. The first men
| ton of the use of gold and silver was
as early as the seventh century. The
oldest manuscript known in this style
| is the CodeX ArgentuS of Ulfilas, $3.50
! A. D. Through the middle ages, when
literature was only produced in the
form of manuscripts, this art was of
the greatest Importance, and was high
| ly developed. In the different epochs
of that period 1t was marked by great
diversities of style, and appears to
have received no less attention than any
of the fine arts. But when printing
superseded written books, illuminating
languished and finally became extinct
| This beautiful art has again been
brought into notice, and much has
been produced that might compare
with that of the medieval period.--Art

The ireland of Today.

The Rt. Hon. James Bryce, careful
observer, and Mr.. Seumas MacManus,
the Irish writer, agree that Ireland to-
day is enjoying comparative prosper
ity. The people are living better, their
food is Of a higher grade, the bank de-
posits have decreased, the farm rents
are lower, and the returns from work
are larger. The main reason why it
does not take it's place as one of the
rich countries of the world is its lack
of manufacturing. It exists mainly on
it's agriculture and its fisheries. Ire

add 246 square miles to the total. It
is not quite so large as Indiana and is
a little larger than South Carolina.

years ago a commission appointed by

ArserAic
y. tiers

Immense quantities of arsenic are
consumed by the peasants of Syria
and the Tyrol. An Austrian doctor who
examined into this matter found that
arsenic was kept in most of the houses
in upper, Syria under the name of
s'hydrach,'' evidently a corruption OF
huttenrauch," or furnace smoke. Ar
::senic is principally eaten by hunters
and woodcutters, with the object Of
warding off fatigue and improving
their staying powers. Owing to the fact
that the sale of arsenic is illegal in
Austria without a doctors certificate it
is difficult to obtain definite informa-
ton Of a habit which is kept as secret
as possible. According to DR.. Lo-
renzo in that district the arsenic is
taken fasting, usually in a cup of cof-
fee, the first dose being minute, but
increased day by day, until it some
times amounts to the enormous dose
of II or Is grains. He found that the
arsenic eaters were usually long-lived,
though liable to sudden death. They
have very fresh, youthful appearance
and are seldom attacked by infectious
diseases. - r. l.s. Nj So (
