TWO STOCK EXCHANGES.
Differences Between the New York
aud serIin Installations.

If any member Of the New York
Stock Exchange who In entirely unac-
quainted with German speculation
should visit the Berlin bourse he would
find at every point the most striking
Emergencies from his home experience.
He would be surprised to see tho
bourse attended by quite 1000 persons,
Including clerks Of banks. newspaper
men and even visitors like himself.

Exchange. ON one side OF the hall sev-
eral doors open into n grassy court,
shaded by trees and surrounded by a
pillared lobby, where brokers sit In dull
summer days and float their latest
stock Of anecdotes.
That shaded court is suggestive OF
deeper differences between the New
York Stock Exchange and the Berlin
Institution. In New York the number
of members Is fixed and IL small In pro
portion 10 the immense volume OF bust
ness done. In Berlin there II great
horde Of small dealers. and the amount
OF trading IL much less than In New
York. Owing 10 the easy terms of ad-
mission, the bourse becomes mere
place where traders meet 10 effect their
transactions. There Is no sale OF seats.
In fact, no membership fee exists, but
only small yearly tax IL collected.

sup~rstitious Hungarian Peasa

A queer case of superstition which
resulted In the loss of two lives Is re-
ported from Hungary. A peasant liv-
ing In Nosztany died of heart disease
while attending market In Kuri. His
relatives started to take the body home,
but were forcibly prevented from car
rying the body through the village Of
Iharos. whose inhabitants believed that
the passage of n strange corpse through
their town would bring endless misfOr-
tune to It. The procession returned 10

TO fire three vollcys before they could
get through the place. Two of the vii

How Yeast Works.

The growth Of the yeast plant Is so
rapid that its individual cells can be
seen under the microscope 10 spring up
as buds upon the parent cell and 10
grow 10 full size. These presently give
off buds themselves that expand In
like manner. In the case Of the yeast
plant the cells remain attached TO each
other and thus form branches OF elon-
gated cells fixed end 10 end. In other
cases the buds drop off, so that the
plant never takes any definite shape,

THE Republican State Convention
held in Providence on Tuesday NOM
mated Colonel Samuel z. Colt for
governor and Hon. George ii. Utter
for lieutenant governor. The re-
mainder of the ticket is the same as
last year. In selecting such men as
Col. Colt and Mr.. Utter, the Re-
publican party in Rhode Island have
paved the way for its return to the
executive management OF state
affairs. Probably no men in the
state would inspire greater enthus-
issm in the party or give better as
surance that the party leaders intend
10 bring out its very best men for
these offices. Col. Colt is a fine
lawyer, and a most successful finan-
cier, and Mr.. Utter is a man Of
bright intellect and varied expert
ence. While their election is not an
assured fact, still II is safe to predict
that they will make splendid run.

seems strange that n bird will sit on II

simple. The tendon OF the leg OF Il
bird that roosts IL 40 arranged that
when the leg IL bent at the knee the
claws are bound To contract and thus
hold with n sort Of death grip the limb
round which they are placed. Put n
chickens feet on your wrist and then
make the bird sit down and you will
have practical illustration on your

time. by this singular arrangement,
seen only In such birds rs roost. they
will rest comfortably and never think
OF holding on. for II IL impossible for
them TO let go till they stand up.

THE town OF Leominster, Mass,
at a recent town meeting made an
appropriation of a sum Of money to
support public forum. This inst'-
tuition will be run somewhat after
the style of the old fashioned lyceum
and will give the people of the town
a place to meet and debate questions
Of public interest. Religion and
politics are the only subjects that are
debarred. The forum will be con-
trolled by a committee of capable
citizens and there is every reason to
predict that the experiment will
prove successful and that the peo-
pies money will be well expended.
