An Incident In stock SpecuIattnR Flurry That Henry Clews
 Does Not Tell.

Henry Clews, the New York stock broker, is very kindly man and de lights in doing good. Naturally he figured to some extent in the recent Wall street operations, and story is told of him that he has vainly tried to sidetrack, says New York exchange,
 Am army officer stationed Tn the Philippines has been sending home his salary for his wife to save. She sought to add to it by taking flyer in Wall street. She had invested every dollar of her husbands savings, and in the recent panic all were swept away. She appealed to Henry Clews. with whose firm she had dealt.
 If 1 show you the way to get your money back, will you promise me that you will not speculate again?" asked the broker,
 Indeed I will" tearfully assented the woman,
 Well, here's your money; now keep out of the market"
 Clews said afterward that he had not invested the money.
 A broker in the Waldorf-Astoria cafe who listened to the story laughed.
 Well, that's one on Clews. That woman brought the money right to my office and asked me to buy Della ware X Hudson for it. l did so, and she made S5, 400"

HEADQUARTERS FOR ICE.
Norway Is the Source of Supply Tor the Whole of
 Europe.

Few perhaps among the tourists who visit Norway for the pleasures of its scenery are aware that here they are at the headquarters of Flu ropes ice supply, To the mountain lakes of that country the continent looks for it's ice. The ice is of the finest quality, for the lakes are of crystal-clear water, high up in the ur;ains, and are surrounded by very Jall pnes. The ice supply is con trulltd by syndicates, says Youths Cu"lrauion.
 After having been cut into great squares by blows, the blocks of ice are sent down the mountainside on slides. On the way they acquire amaz- ing velocity, and plunge into an in- closed pond beyond which are the ice ships awaiting their frozen cargo.
 II sometimes happens that through delay in the starting of the vessels. pr the cutting of unusual quantities from the lakes to supply exception al demands. the supply runs short. Then il is that ice becomes dear, and eNen in winter-time is luxury that must be indulged in sparingly. But ice is used in Europe far less com monly than in America, and a de ficient supply does not occasion the sense of loss that it would in this ,oun1ry

LOVE OF TWO GRAPES.
When Separated They spent Hours in Gazing LonGinGly Across
 at Each Other

In the Cincinnati zoo dwelt two giraffes, writes Clifford Howard, in telling some Love Stories of the Zoo" in Ladies' Home Journal Giratfes are not noted for their affection, yet these two exhibited every evidence of true devotion to each other. The male never seemed to tire of caressing the long, slender neck of his partner, and, what was most unusual, would ire quently leave for her the softest and choicest bits of food On one occasion, when she was removed from the pen for short time and quartered near by, he seemed to find consolation in some bits of cloth that had been used to bind her throat; always lying down beside them, no matter where they happened to be placed. And dur ing this temporary separation the two would spend hours gazing longingly at each other across the space that divided them. When they were again united they made manifest their SUI premc happiness by frolcking about like frisky colts blissfully unmindfnl of the fact that such behavior was anything but picturesque in creatures of their build.

SAFETY FOR TELEPHONES.
Companies in Vermont Are Conn pelied to Provide Suitable
 Lightning Conductors.

An interesting and somewhat unique case, involving the use of light ming arresters on telephone lines, has recently been decided by the supreme court of Vermont. A physician while sitting in his library near a telephone instrument was instantly killed by an electrical discharge from the wire, and the plaintiff contended that. in not having provided a suitable appara- tus or appliance to conduct he light ming to the earth. or at least oul of the house. the telephone company was guilty of culpable negligence. In The lower court judgment was rendered in favor of the heirs of he physician. and the supreme court, to which he ease was appealed, affirmed The decision, says the New York Sun.
 It appears that the fatal bolt struck one of the company's poles about a quarter of mile from the doctors house. that it scattered and went into the ground by various routes. and that only small fraction of the original charge could have entered the resi- dence. However, in the absence of proof that lightning had struck else where in that neighborh0od at the time, i, appeared to be established conclusiyely that the discharge from the telephone wire. small as il was, caused the trouble The province of the jury therefore, was to determine whether, if there existed devices for diverting or controlling the forces of the lightning, the company was liable for not having employed one of prac- ticai value in the house of the physi- elan.
 The evidence showed that on top of the house there was an arrangement intended to insure the desired protec- ton. consisting of two metal plates, one of which was attached tn the tele- phone wire The other plate. in order to make the ester operative by he insertion Of d plug between the two, should have had a metallic connection with the ground; but there was ne such connection, and, consequently. although the plug had been carefully placed between the plates shorJl ' before the accident, the device was in- effective

Arabian horses manifest remark able courage in battle. Ii is said that when horse of this breed finds himself wounded and perceives that he will not be able to bear his rider much longer, he quickly retires from the conflict, bearing his master to a place of safety while he still has suf- ticient strength.

Biders the maximum that should be
levied upon the Chinese as tax,
represents absolutely the limit Of
Chinese ability according TO the cNlcu-
| lntions OF the officials best informed as
to the resources OF China, The figure
named does not repre- cnt the aggre'
gate OF the indcmnltics claimed, The
United States fixed upon the sum Of
SIS, ,0OO,OOO as n suitable indemnity TO
be claimed, Notwithstanding that OFF.
cials Of the various departments are
satisfied that this sum will only pro-
vide for the payment OF percentage
OF tho items claimed, because II was
felt that this was as much as we should
claim proportionatcly OF the total OF
$500, 10000 II Is not the intention to
divide this 5000, 900, 900 into as many
equal parts as there are powers, but
while dividing It into eight or ten
parts, to see to II that these parts arc
no proporlloncd rs to compensate the
powers in accordance with the outlay
they have been put to In suppress

This government would be willing
to abatc the S?5,OOO,0O0 claim II the
other powers would reduce their
claims in the same proportion, even to
the extent OF reducing the total csti.
mate to 500, 900 II by so doing the
Chinese government could be rclirvcd
by having the tnX adjusted to their
abilities, But although in grave
doubt whether China can pay more
than 500, 100000, our government feels
itself bound to secure compensation
for it's citizens and itself to the same
extent as IL secured by other powers,
and Is resolved TO do this because OF
the conviction that total abandon.

WILL KILL BUCKET SHOPS.
Federal Law Requires Statements
Under Severe Penalties.
WILL ABANDON THE FIELD,

Chicago, March 90, The death lsnell
OF the bucltetshop has been sounded by
the federal government, The national
huclSctshop law Is the instrument
which Is about to kill the goose that
has laid the golden eggs for n good
many hundreds OF men in this and
Othor cities, all OF them posing as do
ing legitimate commission business
on tho board Of trade, and none OF
them having the slightest connection
with the board. The federal law gov
crning buclsetshops, which will go into
effect on April I, is designed to let the
light into places which have heretofore
been dark, and 1t Is this publicity
which, II Is asserted, will result In the
complete extinction OF the bucket
shop.
Under the federal law buckctshop
proprietors must file with the collector
Of internal revenue statements of the
nature of their business, II they fail
to do so they will be liable to prosccu'
ton In the United States courts and
severe penalties II they comply with
tie federal law they will be furnishing
the most positive evidence of their
violation OF the state law against
buclictshops, and prosecution by the
board OF trade will follow
The decision has been practically
reached among the buclsctshop men
themselves that opposition to the new
law will bo useless, and they have
about determined to close up their
business and abandon the field
In the fight that Is thus apparently
closing the board Of trade will be
greatly assisted by the agreement
made with the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies. These
companies agree to send out board OF
trade market quotations all over the
country to customers approved by
board Of trade officials.
In this way all legitimate specula'
tors will have the quotations Of the
market which establishes prices for the
entire country, and bucketshops cannot
get them, Propriotors OF the leading
