Grit In the Eye.

A useful hint was given the other
day by a physician who removed a
piece of grit from patients eye. The
accident had occurred at the beginning
Of q railway journey lasting some
hours. Another time when you are
troubled with grit In the eye" said the
doctor, don't attempt to get it out, but
just cover the eye with your hand to

as you can with the other till the grit
is dislodged. This hint was given to me

in all to s13.S13,eO0. These figures, Of
course, do not take into consideration
the endowment of s25.OOc.Oc0 for a ma
tional university at Washington. The
list, as given by Appletons', is COM
posed of all individual requests of
5000 or more for public purposes that
were made or became operative in the
United States in 1901, exclusive of
ordinary denominational contributions
for education and benevolent purposes,
and the grand total is $107 500, 00o.
The greater proportion of this is to be
devoted to the, spread of knowledge.
though it includes millions for hospi-
tails and charitable institutions. No
doubt the sum of the requests less
than $4,000 would have materially en-
larged this grand total. This is a
noble record for America n philanthropy
in a single year, ard is an index both
of the prosperous times and of the
generous spirit of giving which ami
mates so many of our richest men.
In the face of such great. and growing
philanthropy talk of the menace of
great fortunes has little weight.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, March 1.-THE general spec
ulative sentiment in Wall street was 4
good deal encouraged by the improved
money situation as disclosed by the Sat-
urday bank statement. There was no alb
sOlute improvement in the condition of
the banks disclosed by that document but
there had been more or less dread last
week that the surplus reserve would be
entirtly wiped out by the many drains
upon the cash reserves. The large loan
contracted effected as an offset to this
drain and the absence of disturbance in
the market while this was being done
dSSipated a good deal of the anxiety felt
over the money outlook 1t was this con-
sideration that prompted the professional
traders to bid up the opening prices for
stocks. 1t developed, however, that the
professional contingent still make up the
market to a large extent and every little
following was attracted by the advanc-
ing te,alepcy of the market. The princi-
pal operations also were inclined to re-
vert to the industralS and sDecialties.
Call loans ruled at per cent. and over.
This was rather convincing corrobora-
ton of the superstition that the showing
of the banks on Saturday was due to Il
shifting of loans to other institutions
rather than to their cancellation.
Amongst the Gould stocks and the South
westerns generally there was some agree
ment in show of strength. There was
some profit taking in Manhattan but it
continued to show strength on large deal
ings in common with the other local trac-
lions. Baltimore & Ohio and its related
soft coal carriers showed strength. Out
side of this the advances in the railroad
list seemed to be of a special character
as were those by the industrials. Sugar
showed increasing strength and rose "a
over Saturdays. On the otIer hand there
were a number of sharp relapses from
recent high prices amongst obscure rail-
road and industrial stocks. The liquida-
ton in Amalgamated Copper continued
very heavy. At an extreme decline of 80
the stock touched 6lk. only about a point
above the lowest recorded price. The
last price was fraction higher. The last
prices were generally below the best ow-
ing to a movement to take profits in the
final hour, but the closing was steady.
Wabash debenture BIS were active and
strong but the bond market generally
was rather quiet and irregular. Total
sales, par value, s3,330,0 900. United States
bonds were all unchanged on. the last

The Time to Woo.

a little white rose in the garden blew,
When the dew in the dawn iay bright;
And over the grass came her lovers to
WOO,
And faithful troth to plight.
But the rose babe the wind go sigh, so
Sigh;
She fiouted the vows of the butterfly;
And the crickct-he skipped without say
ing goodbye
To the little white rose in the garden.
But, alack, the wee rose-when the
cleaning grew,
She quaked in the twilight gray,
When a moth flew out of a lime to sue
And won her without delay.
That bold night-moth that flew from the
lime,
He won the wee rose without reason or
rhyme
Because-sly fellow!-he knew just the
time
To WOO a white rose in the garden

Life and Death.

SO he dies for his faith. That is fine
More than most of us do.
But say, can you add to that line
That he lived for it too?
In his death he bore witness at last
AS a martyr to truth.
Did his life do the same in the past
From the days of his youth?
1t is easy to die. Men have died
For wish or a within
From bravado or passion or pride.
Was it harder for him?
But to live-every day to live out
All the truth that he dreamt
While his friends met his conduct with
doubt
And the world with contempt.
Was it thus that he plodded ahead,
Never turning aside?
Then Wen talk of the life that he led
Never mind how he died

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Fools seek pleasure; wise men happi-
ness.
Solomon's wives were contented be-
cause they did not have to go out in bad
weather to gossip.
Some women are so unlucky about rails
ing children that If they kept them locked
in a safe they would be the first ones in
the block to catch the measles.
Because a woman smiles sweetly when
the dinner guest says he will have more
of her delicious pie and there isn't any
more. is no sign that when she gets into
another room she doesn't kick the door
in rage.
The man who commands the largest
respect from his wife is the one who can
make her believe the reason he doesn' I
make more money is because II is so easy
for him 1t isn't worth his while to give
much attention to it.-New York Press.
