ovERCRowDED LONDON.
The English Metropolis Is Suffering
from n Denrth of Houses
Rents Going Up.

At the present moment, writes Sir
Walter Besant in the Century, those
parts of East London inhabited by
the workingmen of all kinds, from
the respectable artisan in steady em.
ployment down to the casual hand
and the children of the street, are
suffering from the dearth of houses.
There are not enough houses for the
people; there are not enough single
rooms for the families which would
gladly occupy them, if they could.
The rents of the lowest tenements
are going up higher and higher. The
working people compete with one an
other for rooms. The landlord has
only to put up his house, or his rooms
in his house, to the highest bidder.
A room that used to be let for four
shillings a week can now command
six, while the fine, or the sum paid
on taking the key, which was former.
ly a few shillings, now runs up to a
pound or even two. The houseless
used to be considered the very poor
est. Among them now are families
where the head is in good work.
They are houseless because there are
no houses for them. The vast in
crease of population has a good deal
to do with this. For instance, the
outlying suburb of East Ham, 20
years ago mere hamlet with few
houses and an old church in the
fields, now numbers 10000 people, all
of the working class; while its
neighbor, West Ham, which 20 years
ago consisted of two or three scat
tered hamlets, is now a great town
of 270,000 people, all of the working
class.

FEMININE LOVE OF JEWELS.
Women Of All Countries and of Air
Ages Have Been DaHnIed
hy Gena,

Women Of all countries have an i'm
herent love for precious stones, which
are supposed to exercise some sub
tie magnetism upon their natures.
Hence the latter-day craze for some
mascotic jewel, a survival of medieval
superstition. Upon impressionable
people certain gems appear to WELD
a potent influence. Who has not lis
tened to weird tales of some heirloom
talisman which, when lost or stolen.
presaged the ruin of a noble house Z
A person with vivid imagination
might even believe in the theory of
the Pythagoreans, who formulated
the doctrine that inanimate as well
as animate things are endowed with
souls Certain evolutionists of to-day
trace the origin of man back to
stones, asserting that in their ada
mantine bosoms they contain the all
pervading essence of spirit, and that
the spark emitted from their crystal
line hearts is the revelation of the inn
prisoned soul within.
From time immemorial jewels have
served as propitiary offerings at holy
shrines, as tokens of amity from one
crowned head to another, as mystic
messengers of affection between dis
tant friends, as pledges of constancy
exchanged between plighted lovers.
Men have bled and died, Kingdoms
have crumbled, families have been
rent asunder, husband and wife part
ed over the disputed possession of
some coveted jewel. Perhaps poor
Marie Antoinette, of ill-starred men,
ory, might have kept her pretty head
upon her shoulders had it not been
for the unfortunate affair of the dia-
mond necklace. Women in all ages
have succumbed to the temptation of
gems. Faust bartered his soul for
the love of woman; Marguerite sold
hers for a gem-starred bauble.

A "STRENUoUS" HEN.
This One Sat on Her Nest I'm a Thresh-
ing Machine While It Was
In Operation.

The grittiest hen in America lives
in Alsea, Ore Her right to be called
brave has been tested, and, says the
Corvallis Times, she is not only a
brave hen, but strenuous" hen.
She belongs to one of the Hayden
brothers. They also own threshing
machine, which was taken out of the
shed for the first time last week, and
a small field of grain was threshed to
see that the machine was in good
running order.
After the job was finished the ma
chine was returned to the shed, when,
to the amazement of all, there in the
corner of the separator sat the stren-
uous hen.
Under her was nest of eggs that
she was endeavoring to hatch. She
had been on the nest when the ma
chine was taken out.
She was there when the belts and
pulleys began to whiz, when the fan
began to sing, and when the riddlers
began to shake and rattle. The wind
from the fan ruffled her feathers and
almost took her breath; but, like the
boy on the burning deck, she stayed
at her post. What her thoughts were
when the swift cylinder began to
chew up straw cannot be guessed.
When found she was uninjured.
There was dust in her mouth and a
somewhat frightened look in her eye,
but she was on her nest. OF the
eggs, all were safe save one.

UNIMpOR7ANT STOCKS
Again Characterized the Market With Their
Wide Movements.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
New York. Feb. 11.-There was
very notable decline in the volume of
dealings in the stock market today,
and the most active stocks we're those
under pressure with exception of Union
Pacific, which was bought with per-
sistency on a rising scale.
The market was again characterized
by a wide movement in a very large
number of unimrortant stocks which
are seldom prominent in the dealings.
In this class some of these recently
brought forward into prominence con-
tinued active and further advanced,
while others met profit taking and
again turned back. These stocks were
only prominent, however, by contrast
witt their usual obscurity.
The movement in the general list
was extremely confused all day, and
the greater part cf the days business
in standard railroad stocks was done
below Saturdays level. A strong rally
in Union Pacific and the advance in
Atthison to 81 brought the market gen.
orally to the best of the day. Union
Pacific was lifted points over Satur-
days and preferred 1ss points. Penn
sylvania was the only other active
trading stock among standard rail-
reads that rose to point over Satur-
day, and. in fact, no railroad stocks
CT i'm rortance fell much below Satur
day any time, thus indicating general
1luggishness of the market
Specialties did better, sugar rising at
one time points and Peoples Gas 25s

Pacific Mail rose 21s and interna-
tional paper 2N points. Western I'm

Steel stocks shared in the sluggish
ness of the general market and only
preferred stock of any company sold
much as a point above Saturday. The
total sales was 100000 shares.
The bond market continued active,
but there were some important reac-
tlons on profit taking. U. S. 3's and
