During the first hour the bulge OF the
grangers. ST. Paul. and the Atehisons,
were the features OF the market The
talk OF heavy purchases Of St Paul for
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
interests IS undoubtedly well founded
though what the extent Of his plan may
be 10 one outside OF most exclusive in
neF circle seems 10 know. It can be seen
without trouble that both the s.. Paul
and the Northwestern systems would be
greatly benefited by a close alliance OF in
terests. As 6 matter OF fact such an aIli-
ance is Just what the St Paul has needed
in order 10 compete on a profitable basis
with other roads in it, territory. The
reason why the 81 Paul has had 10 cut its
rates during the past year while the Rock
Island has actually made an advance is
found In the fact that II had no alliances II
the Northwest. These purchases Of stock
themselves and their effect on people that
understand the situation has been an all
sufficient reason for the boom in the stock
to It's present price. The prospect that
represent atives of these Northwestern
roads VIII soon join the directory Of the
company and the excellent outlook for d
per cent dividend should be reason for
q further advance in tie near future Il
the general market is 10 continue strong.
On the Whole, however, IL is probable that
other gTangers like Rock Island and Bur
hngton can b brought now with greater
chance Of Immediate profit.

Life Insurance.

It is an interesting fact that. what
ever the reason may be. life insurance
is much more popular in the United
States than in any other country. In
proportion to their numbers the Amer
ican people carry twice as much Life
insurance as the Britishers. FIVE times
as much as the Germans and eight
times as much as the French.
This is partly explained by the large
number OF American policies issued to
serve other purposes than mere provi-
sion for the families Of the insured.
The scope of what may be called busi-
ness as distinguished from family in
surance is constantly eplarging. A'nov-
ell and interesting recent development
of it is the insurance OF the lives Of
Protestant ministers for large Sums
which are made payable at their deaths
to their churches.-New York World.

The Queer Mistakes THAT Are Some
times Made by Authors.
We smile as we read and pass swiftly
by the stories of maidens that wander
in lonely woods" at unearthly hours
Of night, always clad in ga soft white
clinging gown" Now, every girl knows
that the average maiden is too much
afraid of tramps and snakes to wander
in lonely woods" The weather, too,
appears to perplex our noyelists, for
not infreQuently they begin a chap
ter at dawn, there are few mo-
ments' conversation. and then the "sun
sets in lurid banks behind the distant
empurpled mountains
am reminded at the outset Of an
English story written by an author Of
repute where the heroine in one scene
was made on one page to stoop down
and tie her shoestring, while three
pages farther on, directly following, it
was said of the same girl that she had
remained barefooted the entire day. In
another story a blind woman is made
to view the hero through spectacles be-
fore the tale is ended.
In French novel-and we generally
consider French such literary masters
"a heroine is clearly made to go direct
from her bed to the breakfast table,
out shopping, to an afternoon tea and
to dinner in her robe de mutt! Cousins
suddenly transformed into brothers
without q moments warning are nu-
merous in this detectives library. Thus
one is amused to find the most mar
velous mistakes in books which we
think we have carefully read.-Modern

Artificial Stone.

Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out Of
their occupation by the use of artificial
stone In the manufacture Of this stone
the sand is heated and the cement add
ed to the amount Of II per cent of the
mixture The steel molds are filled
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder, which is closed
and bolted. Boiling water is then
turned in under pressure sufficient TO
force it all through the sand in the
molds. The cement slacks. but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion to occur. and the stone is formed
and dried under an immense pressure.
The result is q very hard stone, which
can be supplied in shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.

EATING FISH.

It is not good form to ask for sec
ond helping of fish.
1t is considered extremely bad form
to use 4 knife in dissecting fish.
\ little modern fish knife. with an in
gen;ous fork arrangement on one side,
is now made.
a bit of lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish. and it is in correct form
to use the fingers in expressing the
Juice.
Potatoes are considered q proper &C
cessory to the fish course.
Sliced cucumbers. with plain French
dressing. are also served.
With a boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits or
scooped out and Sarnished with little
melted butter and chopped parsley.
Never use the fingers to separate the
bones from the eatable portion Of fish.
The bones must be evaded with such
dexterity as one can command without
other aid than such as a bit Of bread
held In the left hand may furnish.

TALK OF MARRIAGE.
It Is Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.

It Is Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.
a man may remark on his intention
to marry at some indefinite future time,
when prudence or other considerations
may make it possible or advisable,
without having. as a rule, to run the
gantlet Of q chorus Of impertinent and
stupid would be witty remarks. But
should a girl be bold enough, or, rather,
natural and simple enough, to say the
same thing what would be the result?
Why, every one knows that she would
be promptly sneered out Of counte-
nance.
And why? Is it immodest for wom-
an to express determination to enter
into state which we are being contin-
ually reminded is natural and honor
able state, while it is modest and prop
er for q man to do so? Such distinc-
ton would never be drawn except for
the "cheapness' to which reference has
been made.
If u man wants to marry, he can mar
ry. If the first woman he asks refuses
him, he has only to ask second or per-
haps a third or fourth. 1t would be
safe to guarantee that within month
any man Of fairly respectable life and
position and appearance who cared to
make the experiment could marry in
his own class, could marry probably
woman much superior to himself.
But what about the girl who intends
to marry "some day." Is she not in
very different position from the man?
Here is girl Of good character-much
better than the mans, probably-aver-
age intelligence, average good looks.
theoretically she is free to marry
whom she will, but is she? If she re-
ceives one distinct offer Of marriage,
she has had more than her share. ac-
cording to the probable average.
The fact that by an unwritten law q
woman must not take, and, indeed, does
not want to take, the initiative has very
little to do with the extremely limited
choice which modern conditions impose
upon English women.-Nineteenth Cen
tury.

SIGNALING 70 MARS.
IKE Di1.cuzsy cs Dc:-= So by Means
of Li.sE,t.

IKE Dic-cuzey ct Dc:-S So by Means
of Li:sE.e.
The veg largest city that this earth
has ever known would be altogether
TOO small to be visible to being
dwelling on the planet Mars, even i
that being were endeavoring to see il
with a telescope as powerful as the
greatess :end most perfect instrument
in any observatory on this globe.
If the whole extent Of Lake Superior
was covered with petroleum and if that
petroleum was set on fire, then, ] think.
we may admit that an inhabitant OF
Mars who was furnished with a tele-
scope as good as that which Percival
Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able
to see that something had happened.
But we must not suppose that the
mighty confagration would appear to
the Marian as a very conspicuous OBJ
ject. It would, rather, be very small
feature, but still I think it would not
be beyond the reach Of practiced OBJ
server in that planet.
On the other hand, if an area the size
of Lake Superior on Mars was to be
flooded with petroleum and that petro-
leum was to be kindled, we should ex-
pect to witness the event from here not
as a. great and striking conhagration.
but as tiny little point Of just dis
cernible light. The disk OF Mars is
not large object, and the confagra-
ton would not extend over the three
bundredth part Of that disk.
It is sufficient to state these facts to
show that the possibility Of signaling
to Mars is entirely beyond the power Of
human resources.-Sir Robert S. Ban
in Independent.
