Operations of a scalping character for
small quick turns are advised by many
brokers rather than taking a fixed po-
sition on either side OF the market in
expectation OF immediate extensive
fluctuations. The better class of stock
is preferred. but only for moderate

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

All departments of the London market
are adversely affected by the advance of
the Bank of England rate TO 1 per cent.
This action on the part of the governors
of the bank was generally unexpected.
The feature of the London market for
Americans today is a decline in Atchi-
son of 81 per cent.

thirty barrels of potatoes and fifteen
barrels of beets, carrots, and vans
for the week; twelve cases of can goods,
each containing twenty-four cans, daily
and 1880 loaves of bread daily. A sack
of flour day is used for buildings and
pies, and $50 quarts of milk and twenty
four gallons of evaporated cream are
used on the tables. Enough food in ex-
cess is always carried to furnish the
entire outfit with a square meal in case
of accident.

drifted into other occupations and re-
manned across the water. AS the Amer
leans fell out foreigners were employed,
and this continued until the walters
represented nearly all the nations of
Europe. Mr.. Henry says that he found
the Hungarians the best walters after
they had learned circus methods, and
several of them followed the show to
America. French walters he does not
consider suited to circus work, as they
soon tire and leave because of the hard
life. The Germans he considers fair.
but is not enthusiastic about them.
Feeding the Animals.
In all there are between 1000 and 100
human beings fed at the circus each
day, but it should also be remembered
that there are between 1000 and 1,500
other stomachs tc be supplied. and re-
lieving their craving is just as impor
tant as it is in the case of the men and
women.
Horses, menagerie animals, birds, and
snakes must be fed, and are given all
the food that is good for them. Long
experience has taught those who handle
captive wild creatures that feeding them
more than one meal a day is bad for

cooks. they are carried to table be-
hind which are six of the most rapid
and expert carvers in the country, who
have cut them in portions, ready for the
orders, so that the walters lose little
time in filing the orders given them.
No Class Distinctions.
Circus people have the reputation Of
being a rough and ready race of nomads
who can and do live on a slim and I'M
certain diet, but that is a great mis-
take, and some OF the sneerers who
pity the poor fellows" would have
their eyes opened if they were TO take
a dinner with them. All eat in the
same tent and have the same menu from
which to select, from James A. Bailey,
managing owner of the show, to the
humblest canvasman and the high
salaried freak. There is no favorit-
ism and no stint. Each man is entitled
TO eat as much as he desires, for The
supply is ample, the walters are nu-
merous, and Mr.. Bailey believes that
men who do hard work should have an
abundance of substantial and palatable
food.
An idea of the food served may be
obtained from the menu on Monday last.

kings of beasts have TO play second i'd
die and be content with eighteen pounds
of meat per day.
Polar bears, pelicans and others OF the
curiosities live on fish and are supplied
with whitefish, cod and smelts. of which
all of them are very fond. IN cities on
the water such as New York and Wash
ington, there is no difficulty about this
diet, but when the show moves inland
the matter of providing the captives with
fish sometimes becomes serious matter.
The Elephants Hearty Appetite.
Elephants are strong on the eating
proposition, and do more or less chew
ing all the time. The number of peanuts
eaten by q popular circus elephant is
something surprising. but they do not
affect the big beasts capacity for high
priced hay, and he keeps taking little
snacks all day long. Elephants also eat
fruit or anything else that may be Of
fered them, and the attendants give
them many little tidbits.
The CRATES Great Advantage.
CRATES probably get a lot OF fun out
of eating because of their long necks and
the proportionately long time during
which they can enjoy the taste OF q
favorite morseI. They live on bran prepa-
rations and cut apples. CRATES are
menagerie stars, and like the human
stars demand special privileges. They are
among the few animals in the circus
apart from the horses, which are fed
more than once day. The long-necked
brutes sulked and became sick over
one-meal per diem allowance, and now
they are as clipper as can be on two
meals, one in the early morning and one
in the afternoon.
Tapirs, emus and cassowaries, also
live on bran and apples. Lettuce is pro-
vided for great number of the animals,
who rejoice greatly when the spring
comes on the account.
Snakes feed every once in awhile.
When a snake gets a good meal he goes
to sleep and digests it This is contrary
to all medical tradition and the night
mares bred by sleeping on a full stomach
may account for the peevishness of thu
serpents.

and yet somehow a nice opportunity
never seemed TO offer itself. Dear

I had deliberately deceived him.
Meanwhile I was recklessly airing a
variety OF pretty frocks, and even some
of the old family jewelry. Max said:
Mary, you look charming in all these
pretty decorations, yet sometimes
think regretfully OF my old white co1fed

n n EALS for 1000 persons, served TO
jNE order in forty-five minutes, is
the standing boast of Charles
Henry, superintendent OF the dining
tent of the Barnum & Bailey circus.
This assertion may seem little broad,
hut as Mr. Henry makes good his boast
three times each day the circus is on
the road, he is not in danger of being
seriously contradicted.
Cooking for such an army might be
supposed to be an operation which would
require constant work over the stove,
but such is not the case. The time oc-
cupied in the actual cooking is not as
great as that which the ordinary domes-
tic cook applies to the same duty, and
yet the food served is as clear and the
menu is as extensive as that of the aver
age family.
A Wagon That Is a Stove.
OF course, the main feature in the cir
Gus eating department is the stove
It is an enormous affair, built especially
for the purpose. containing eight ovens
and four boilers. The stove is on
wagon, which is really a collapsible
house The sides fall out, the top is
raised, and becomes a roof. and at once
the cooks have place on which to work
and shelter from the weather. Wood and
coal are kept on the CRATES, a match is
applied, and in a few minutes the ovens
are hot and the water is boiling. A
forced draft gives the stove heating
power which enables it to roast or bake
meats in very short time. and to do
it we'll, as those who have eaten circus
food can testify.
While the cooks are preparing the
meats a force of men has erected the
dining tent. always the first to go up,
the tables have been put together, and
the fifty walters have set the tables for
the hungry horde. AS fast rs the

SO you began to be glad YOURSELF"
Il did my best to cheer him, and on
the long, hot summer evenings while I
was tanning him We had many a quiet
conversation. He was much interested in
all the nurses, was always admiring
their skill and gentleness. deplorfng
their fatigues, which he considered more
to be pitied than the sufferings of their
patients"
And you were jealous?'
NO. l thought of him only as a sick
man under my care. and was pleased to
amuse him with whatever discourse he
might fancy. One day he gave me his
ideas about the nursing vocation, which
included the opinion that ladies with
home, money and position ought not to
forsake their more immediate duties for
the hospital, but that the career of the
care of the sick should be left open to
those women who needed an occupation
and the means of obtaining livelihood.

so you already felt
THAT he was going to love me If l did
not take pains to disenchaut him: and
partly because he was a sick and lonely
man, partly for some other reason that I

which is. unfortunately mine, to hinder
him. I kept my dreadful secret. and long
before he was fit TO leave the hospital he
had asked me to be his wife and 1 had
accepted him
"You-you didn't mind at all about his
being-lame?'
Mind it? Yes, l did. l loved him the
more for it. Loved him the better, be-
cause, though brave and distinguished,
he was no longer fit for service He had
the vaguest ideas of how we were to

their health and invariably breeds dis
ease For that reason they are fed but
once in each twenty-four hours, and on
Sunday are not fed at all. as it has also
been demonstrated that starving the
animals one day in a week helps to keep
them in good condition. The exceptions
to these rules of feeding are the horses,
which are fed in a circus as they are
elsewhere.
What the Beasts Eat.
Some conception of the amount of food
eaten by the animals and birds each day
may be obtained from the following
items:
Three tons of hay, $50 pounds of bran,
two bushels each OF apples. potatoes,
carrots, onions, and turnips, ten heads
of cabbage, nine heads of lettuce, and
$50 pounds of meat.
Tigers are very fond OF meat, and as
the gentlemanly attendants and iron
bars will not allow them to eat the
idiots who stir up the animals with
canes to make them roar, the big felines
have to take what is given them by the
mana cement. This is twenty pounds Of
meat each day. What is true of the til
gers is true of the lions, but the alleged
