REMARK THAT WAS COSTLY
How Carefully Engineered "Deal" Was
BROUGHT to Nothjnu.

Some OF the largest and most prom
Using deals in the history of the spec
ulative market have been utterly
spoiled by single thoughtless or In
discreet remark. Thus the disastrous
failure Of perhaps the greatest corner
on record was due to q moment Of i'll
calculated confidence on the part Of
the man at the head Of 1t.
Dining one evening with a gay party
when the corner was at its height he
jokingly told young woman that he
was paying at the rate Of 80 per cent
a year for money, and was finding II
extremely hard to get as much as
he needed even at that figure.
Next evening the young woman in
question laughingly repeated the re-
mark to big operator who was on
the bull side Of the market. He said
nothing, but the next day he started
out and sold wheat short by the hun
dred thousand bushels. Every bush
ell sold increased the strain on the re
sources Of the man who was behind
the corner. Presently he had to quit
he had reached the end of his re
sources. The corner went to smash
and the bear cleaned up pot o.
money.

A TALE OF TEXAS OIL.
Speculation Interrupted Honeymoon,
but Was Successful.

The following unpublished account
OF one yourg mans operations at
Beaumont will suffice to indicate the
possibilities of the situation when the
epidemic was at its height:
A real estate agent of st. Paul,
Mimi, was married and started to Cal
ifornia on his wedding trip His ticket
called for short stop-over at Hous-
ton, Tex. While there he read of the
great oil boom at Beaumont. He sug-
gested to his wife that they run over
and take look at things. In an hour
after their arrival he was in the jam
at the Crosby house, and before din
ner had lost $4,000, which was all the
money he had. He went to his bride
with long face, told her of his mis-
fortune, which would make 1t neces-
sary that their trip to California be
declared of. The girl had $1,000 at
home and she volunteered the use OF
1t in the attempt to recover his loss
He decided to risk It, and the money
came by wire. He Jared better in the
afternoon, and in three days and
nights his profits from options on land
amounted to 100000. The couple
then resumed their honeymoon.

Value Of OIL as Steamship Fuel.

Much thought has recently been
given TO the use of oil as fuel, and 1t
has just been employed on the Brit
ish steamer Enterprise with satisrac-
tory results. A steel vessel, built at
Newcastle-on-Tyne, the Enterprise,
has a carrying capacity of 1000 tons
With coal as fuel her speed has never
exceeded an average of eight or nine
knots an hour, but she has just fin
ished a voyage of 1000 miles from
Hawaii to San Francisco, burning oil
and has succeeded in steaming an
average of ten knots an hour. 1t was
demonstrated that in substituting oil
for coal the ship made a saving Of 4(
per cent in the weight of fuel and Of
SO per cent in the space devoted tc
its storage. There was also slight
saving in cost Of fuel and operation
Of the ship.

Discrimination the AIIIqator.

Woman's demand the world over
for alligator skin purses. pocketbooks
and bags has resulted in the practical
determination Of the animal In the
southern states Of America, and that
within ten years. The extinction of
an animal In such great numbers in
so short time Is unparalleled, but 1t
is understandable in face Of the fact
that one house in the trade In New
Orleans Is credited with having sold
half million alligator skins a year.
Now it has been found impossible to
get large alligators for the geological
gardens in the northern parts of
America, and alligator shooting has
ceased to be a sport, because there
are practically no more alligators to
shoot.

up in the business, and now occupies a

began he gave his services gratis.
Not content with the restrictions Of
nobility, Mr.. Stierngranat, as he prefers
to be called, came to America and began
work in his chosen profession. He is
reluctant about speaking concerning his
station in Sweden. When asked he said:

rs much nobility in this country, The
title is nothing; everything is the man" )"

HUNTER WINS BY STRATEGY
Lions Frightens Them Away
with His Field Glass,

Few people, even among hunters OF
game, have met with an adventure sc
exciting as befell British ships Off
Ger, who, fortunately, has survived, and
now relates the story in the Field.
When on a shooting trip in the in
terror of East Africa, accompanied only
by native boy, he suddenly came to a
standstill Immediately facing us
scarcely 25 PAGES distant" he says,
standing quite still, their heads and
shoulders showing above the long grass
their ears cooked forward, their eyes
fixed straight on us, were four fullgrown
lions.''
1t was thrilling moment He was at
once face to face with problem as
complex as it>was' weighted with i'm
portant issues There was no cover,
and If he attempted to retreat all the
animals might spring upon him. If he
fired he could make sure of killing one
Of them; he might even kill second,
but what of the survivors.
The hunters brain worked rapidly,
and when one of the lions showed signs
OF restlessness he had decided that If
would be madness to fire. Unfastening
his case Of fieldglasses, he caught 1t by
the strap, and, rushing forward with a
loud yell, hurled it at the enemy.
The fieldglasses won the day, and all
four lions turned tail and bolted, yelp-
Ing as they went. Thus ended" he
says, my first, last, and only chance of
bagsing a lion."

L1GHTN1NG's QUEER PRANK.
Telegraph Linemnn Sustains Shock
and Exhibits Cuticle with Land
scape Decoration,

Lightning has painted landscape on
the thigh of Charles Powell, of Green
vile, Pa.
In his employment as a lineman, Pow
ell climbed to the top Of a telegraph
pole, in the midst of heavy storm the
other night. Lightning struck a pole
some distance away, and the current
transmitted by the wire knocked the
man from his lofty perch.
Powell's burns were many, but one on
the thigh was so painful that he decided
to go to physician. AS he barred the
skin 1t was found the electricity had
printed upon his cuticle a very natural
and striking view of the spot where
Powell was hurt.
The upper part Of the pole, with its
yard-arms, stood out in. bold relief,
while in the background were other
poles, as we'll as trees and shrubbery.

EGGS HELP DIVORCE.
Too Many of Them Are Eaten by
the Fair Sex.
Mrs. Rorer, of Cook Book Fame, De-
clares They Make Women Lazy
When Eaten for Breakfast and
Lawyers Do the Rest.

Divorces are hatched out of eggs, ac-
cording to Mrs. Sarah Rorer, of cook
book fame The eggs themselves are
innocent, she explains; the trouble be-
ing that too many women eat them for
breakfast. Then, because eggs, as food,
are heavy and bring on feelings of lassi-
tude, housewives neglect their duties
and husbands become angry. The law
ysrs do the rest.
"If fewer women ate eggs for break
fast there would be fewer cases of di-
vorce," says Mrs. Rorer. 1--WE would
not hear so much about wives neglecting
their work in the morning to lounge in
easy chairs and read the daily papers.
Homes would be kept more tidy; hus-
bands would be better satisfied with
their helpIneets, and the Quarrels that
disrupt families would be recited less
frequently in the courts of the land.
II do not mean that any woman eats
too many eggs at time. That is not
the point. If one woman should eat
one egg for breakfast each morning, it
would be too many. The morning meal
should be varied. And few women real
iSe this They change the style of cook
ing the egg, but they stick to eggs.
Zone day it is boiled, the next fried,
with the sunny side up On the third
day 1t Is shirred, and then, with an oc-
casional omelet, the order is repeated.
Fresh eggs, no matter in what style they
are cooked, if they are well cooked, are
delicious. But too frequent recourse
to them is dangerous.
eyes, society women eat too many
eggs also. By society women 1 mean
those lilies Of the feminine world who
neither toll nor spin. They do not have
housework to do, and one might jump to
the conclusion that they could eat eggs
with impunity.
But here again the divorce court
faces women who yield to the fatal ap-
petite. Eggs are heavy, even when
taken with sherry. The social leader
who oVerindulges loses her brightness
OF eye, her piQuancy and charm. Her
husband notices the change and loses
interest. Trouble follows and then come
the lawyers"
