STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 3.-The course of the
stock market today was in marked con-
trast to that of yesterday in that it was
governed largely by different influences,
although Reading and some of the other
coalers were again we'll to the fore.
Opening with a renewal of the previous
days bullish enthusiasm and strength
the list received what at first threat
ened to be a serious setback on early
news of the accident to the Presiden-
tial party. Rumors more or less con-
flicting were numerous, and the list un-
derwent a general recession. AS soon
as the extent of the disaster became
known the market recovered the greater
part of it's strong undertOne, but for a
time there was a marked decrease of
operations. Later, however, the early
activity was resumed and the day as a
whole was the largest in volume of the
present season. The last hour witnessed
an extraordinary squirt in Pennsylvania,
that stock selling up to 1881, net, adj
vance of five points on transactions in
volving over 100000 shares. The adj
vance in this stock was accompanied by
rumors crediting the road with control
of Reading. Another reason advanced
in explanation of Pennsylvania S
strength was the rather good showing
made in the company's reports for the
first seven months of the year. Net
earnings on the lines directly operated
by Pennsylvania for the period named
show an increase of over 81 500, 900, while
the company's lines west of Pittsburg
and Erie show an increase of more than

largely in Readings and the common
opened with material advance on heavy
transactions. The gain was almost en-
tirely wiped out as soon as the Pitts
field incident became known. Suisse
auently, however, the stock more than
covered this loss, selling up to 78R
closing at 7612 and registering a net gain
for the day of more than a point on
transactions aggregating over 2S5'00C
shares. The other Reading issues, on
moderate trading, made fractional gains
There were no material changes in the
other anthracite stocks except in Jersey
Central, which declined four points. In
the soft coal group Norfolk and Western
was the feature. the stock scoring a sub
stantial goin on fairly heavy trading
c. c. and St Louis on very light trans
actions made a net gain of over six
points, and Chesapeake and Ohio, in
which operations were quite extensive
also closed at material advance. Labor
Commissioner Wright's report of the
strike situation excited little comment
The trading in Reading had every indica-
ton of competitive buying and reports Of
triangular contest involving Pennsyl-
vania, Morgan and Gould interests were
prevalent. Pennsylvania sharp ad-
vance toward the close, already re-
ferred to, gave color to these rumors
but nothing tangible came from any au-
thoritative quarters.

Fungi shapes.

"Odd resemblances to various OBJ
jects, which can only be regarded as
accidental condolences. are presented
by number of fungi" says the Rev.
A. S. Wilson in knowledge. There is
the Jews ear fungus, which grows on
stumps of the elder and is so named
from its unmistakable likeness to a
human ear. The coasters are curious
ly like starfish. Aserbe has an eXtraor-
binary resemblance both in form and
color to sea anemone. Equally re-
markable is. the likeness to a birds
nest seen in species of crucibulum,
cyathus and ndularia. The most of
these are too small to impose on one.
The resemblance is singularly exact,
and large specimen might almost
pass for the nest of some small bird,
the eggs being admirably represented
by the little oval fruits of the fungus"

Many children have ears that stand
out This is always more or less an
eyesore to the mother and disfiguring
to the child when older. With little
pains this may be overcome. First,
never allow the child TO lie on his side
with his ear doubled over. Be careful
when his cap is put on when he goes
out that the ears are carefully laid
back fiat against the head. If the case
is a stubborn one and the ears persist
in standing out, take about yard of
gauze bandage one and half inches
wide. place the center of it on the
forehead and bring the ends down on
either side of the head, covering the
upper part of the ears. Carry it down,
crossing the ends at the back of the
neck. and bring up over the ears
trifie lower than before and fasten Just
over where you started. This should
be done every night when the child
goes to bed. The bandage may also
be worn during the day If necessary.
Before putting this bandage on dust
powder behind the ears to prevent
chatting. The bandage should be put
on quite tight.-Marianna Wheeler in
Harper's Bazaar.
