 THE STOCK MARKET.
A Recovery from Yesterdays Weakness.

IA Recovery from Yesterdays Weakness
 New York, May S.-Stocks recovered
 from yesterdays weakness today, al
 though there was considerable uncer-
 tainty manifest in the prevailing senti-
 ment A more cheerful feeling over
 the anthracite outlook is responsible
 for considerable rebuying by short sell
 CTS of yesterday, who professed confi-
 dence last night that strike could not
 be avoided. The situation which de-
 veoped in the market was due to a considerable extent to the action taken by the mine workers convention, which presents an entirely new phase of the situation.
 The active coalers reflected no mis- giving after the announcement of the miners offer to arbitrate but they fell into comparative dullness. The high priced coalers offered the anomaly of early weakness while the Readings were advancing and strong recovery after the demand for the Readings had 1 largely died out The whole market fell into dullness in the latter part of | the day while waiting for the announce ment of the reply of the anthracite op- orators to the offer of the miners The result is that the days transactions are not much over half those of yesterday. l Outside the Readings the principal &C., l tivity was in St. Paul, Union Pacific, the local fractions and Southern Rail way. Union Pacific and St. Paul were l bought heavily for western account !, the attraction being attributed to crop conditions
 | The referees decision upholding the constitutionality of the New York l franchise tax law induced some active | liquidation of the stocks of New York public utilities, but they were well sup | ported and rallied. The advance in Louisville and Southern Railway met krealizing Reports of an apparent con- test between the two interests for con- trol of coal lands increased the disposi- ton to sell. Illinois Central became strong in contrast to it's weakness yes terday, while the other two stocks were advanced. Tennessee Coal and Colorado Fuel were under pressure but the last named recovered to well above last night. International Power fell nine points below the last sale price, but full ly recovered. There was a sale of St. Lawrence and Adirondack at 52, com pared with the preceding sale at 1882. This sale was before the collapse of the WebbMeyer stocks. The incidental statement by Dr. Webb that he had sold the road to A. l.. Meyer was news to the public this morning,

JUST ESCAPED HANGING.
Dr. Mudd, Who Mcnded John Wilkes
 Booths Broken Leg.


 Mudd was physician, and 1t was to his house that Booth had ridden on the night of his great crime. There his broken leg had been set, and there he had been secreted for one day. The doctor was an educated man of refined and dignifed manner. He had never quite recovered from his surprise that any one should find fault with him for setting broken bone for stranger. He always asserted that he did not know Booth and was not aware at the time that Booth had committed a crime But Mudd had been an ardent secessionist. He was accordingly sen. fenced to imprisonment for life.
 It was hard fate to be called upon for professional services by wounded desperado and then narrowly to escape hanging for 1t. The trial and sentence were terrible blow, from which Mudd never recovered. He had left devoted wife at his home in Maryland, and his mental sufferings were so severe that he seemed always on the verge of in. sanity. He had at first been put to work with wheelbarrow; but, having never done any manual labor, he was rapidly failing under the combined physical and mental strain. For this reason directed that he be transferred to the prisoners hospital as nurse.
 There he made himself exceedingly useful, and there he might have re- mained had not his homesickness in an evil hour overcome his judgment. While ship lay at the wharf he contrived to get aboard and secrete himself in the coal bunkers. He was of course dis. covered, and then he learned what he did not know before, that no ship was allowed to sail until 1t was ascertained that every prisoner was in his place He was immediately placed in solitary confinement, where he remained sever. al months.-McClure's Magazine.

Astronomical Solutions.

Though 300 years have elapsed since the death of Tycho Brahe, it appears that we are in many lines almost as far from the ultimate goal as when he began the great work of exploring the skies before the days of Kepler, when all Europe was slumbering in intellec- tual darkness. The science of the stars indeed has been refined and perfected in an unparalleled degree and infinitely extended in all directions, but with the bounds of darkness pushed back step by step the goal is not and never will be in sight. An infinity of objects and causes and an endless variety of phe- nomena are yet to be explored, and the work of the mind is rather a process of development to the perfect under standing of the universe than the solu. tion of simple mathematical problem.

To Save Tempers and Collars.

"You button your collar the wrong way" said the salesman as he was selling neckwear to Il customer.
 How is that?'
 "You have buttoned the right side last. Now. when you go to take it off you will have to tug at the end of the collar and crumple it, because you cant get proper hold of it, but If you had the left end on top you could get it off easily, then loosen the collar be- hind. and the right end could be easily detached. That's why men have so much trouble taking off well laundered collars. Rememl CT to fasten the right side first and then the left, and you will save your collars and your tenn per"

HAVE WOMEN INTUITION?
One Writer Says They Have Never
 shown It In Literature,

Literature Is the final expression of human thought. If women can lay claim to special faculty of intuition, why do they not manifest 1t in their writings? Intuition, if 1t means any thing, means the faculty that gets down to the germ of actions and char acteristics and focuses external traits into central verity recognizable to the general public. Now, there are more female writers than male. No woman poet has ever written an in- evitable line, line that flashes spon- taneously out of the unknown and casts an Illuminating light upon the abyss. Woman has added practically nothing to our stock of familiar quotations. Take down your Bartlett or your an- thology, and you may be surprised to find that from Mrs. Browning to Mrs. Meynell women have never coined q phrase which has passed into the com mon currency of speech. Mrs. Brown ing has indeed written fine lines, but nothing of hers can be said to have be- come q household word.
 Nor has any woman novelist created any character that is generally recog- nized as typical. George Eliot has come closest with her Tito Melema and Mrs. Poyser. You would appeal only to the educated few if you de- scribed person as a Tito or Poyser. But call man Don QuiXote, a Micawber. Dogberry. Falstaff, a Colonel Newcome, Bilfl, q Parson Adams or Bob Acres, call woman a Mrs. Malaprop, a Becky Sharp, a Bea- and even the illiterate will mentally classify the individual as you wish him or her to be classified.
 "Ah, but" you say, "in real life wo- men are the true munitions. They size up man or a woman at glance. They are never mistaken when they trust to their instincts"
 can only testify to my own expert ence. have not found that women's snap judgments of character are i'm bued with any special verity. They form likes or d.slikes quicker than a man does because they are quicker on the trigger of conjecture. They can only be one of two things, right or wrong. If time proves that they are right, as they must be in 50 per cent of cases. the right guess is remembered and treasured up by the slower minded man as an extraordinary instance of intuition. The wrong guess is forgot ten.-William s. Walsh in Era.

The Rose.

At all times the rose has enjoyed ps cullar favor as sacred flower. Mo hammedan tradition says that whep Saladin captured Jerusalem he refused to enter the shrine of the temple which had been converted into church by the Crusaders till the walls had beer thoroughly cleansed and pdritied witl rosewater. similar story is told O the Church of St. Sophia, at Constant nople, when transformed from Chrir tian place of worship to Moharn medan mosque. The origin of the rose according to Moslem tradition. is that the blood of the prophet sprang ints new life in this glorious crimson flow CT. To this day when Turk sees rose lying on the ground he will rais it tenderly. kiss it reverently and ds posit the frail blossom in some plae of safety.

SCIENCE SCORES AGAIN
A Preparation That Will Destroy the Dandruff
 Germ Discovered

Finally the scientific student has discovered certain remedy for dand- ruff. When it first became known that dandruff is the result of germ or parasite that digs into the scalp, and saps the vitality of hair at the root, causing falling hair and badness, biologists set to work 10 discover some preparation that will kill the germ. After years labor in one labratory, the dandruff germ destroyer was discovered; and it is now embodied in Newbro's Herpi- eide, which besides curing bald ness, and timing hair, speedily and permanently eradicate dandruff. De- stroy the cause you remove the effect.

The liability to disease is greatly lessened when the blood is in good con- ditlon, and the circulation healthy and vigorous. For then all refuse matter is promptly carried out of the system 1; otherwise it would rapidly accumulate fermentation would take place, the blood become polluted and the consti- tuition so weakened that a simple malady might result seriously.
 A healthy, active circulation means good digestion and strong, healthy nerves.

PELLETS OF SNOW.
How They Fling md Drift In the
 Adirondack Region.

On q good driftmaking day in the Adirondacks the snow comes not in the star shaped flakes that look sc pretty when portrayed on page of the dictionary, but iD small pellets. These pellets are in shape like tiny white footballs usually, and they come roll ing and tumbling down wind as if they had been "kcked for fair" by the half back gods of the gale. And yet while they roll and tumble and bound they find lodging places, and as the idler gazes he sees them pile up in wall on the crest of the road cut. Higher and higher grows the pile, forming at first q vertical wall. but before this has risen three inches it is seen to overhang the Sulch.
 Though round and easily rolled, these pellets in some way fit to each other as bricks would, until the overhang is per haps a fifth as great as the elevation of the wall, and then, marvellous and i'm possible as it would seem to the unac customed observer, lip forms on the crest of the wall, and soon it begins tc droop and hang down. Wider and lon ger it grows farther and farther il droops, until its shape is precisely like the lip formed on huge wave when it breaks on a shoal water beach. Lips that are ten feet wide and hang down three feet clear of all, though but six or eight inches thick where they join the chin of the wall. are not uncom' mon. By what magic is it that these frozen, oblong pellets that go bounding along as merrily as footballs form into such shape as that? Of course if the storm continues q time usually comes when the lips break off because of their great weight. And then no new lip forms to replace the lost one. The snow merely drops over into the lee of the wall and gradually fills the cutting Scribner'S.
