PUBLICITY.
%%%%

Cities and Towns are considering thu
question of amending the present
statute so as to make it compulsory
upon boards of supervisors to publish
their statements regularly in the coun.
ty newspapers. The law now leaves
it option u with the boa1ds. either to
post the statements at the courthouse
door and at each voting precinct, or
to publish in the newspapers. In most
cases these statements are simply post
ed and only in few counties are
they printed. We regard it as a mat
ter otimportance that the board should
be required by law to print Publicity
is great moral agency, and that is
after all the supreme power of the
press. The government should take
advantage OF the facility thus afforded
to keep its affairs we'll before the peo-
pie, and to make those who handle
public finds account regularly to the
taxpayers.
Itmay be argued that this is accom-
plished when the accounts are posted
at public places. But everybody
knows that it is almost impossible for
man to get an intelligent idea of a
long account by reading it in curse
ry way in public place Indeed very
few men will take the trouble to study
such an acc cunt in detail when it is
tackled up against the side of house.
Every Taxpayer has the right to see
the accounts of the supervisors and to
have the account furnished him in
convenient form. The most ccnven-
lent medium and the most economical
medium is the county newspaper,
which goes into the homes of the tax
payers. and it is thus that the accounts
should be communicated.
1t ha, been objected that to make
these publications compulsory would
put it in the power of the newspapers
to charge exorbitant rates. But this
can easily be prevented by fixing
limit in the statute to the amount
which is to be paid, or the question
If compensation might very properly

We sincerely hope that this amend
nent will be favorably reported by
he COMMITTEES and adopted by the
General Assembly.

 l The selling movement became con- spicuous in the last hour and left net gains only for the stocks mentioned for particular strength. Additional gold was taken in London to-day, but that center continued to send orders here to buy stocks. It is said that these hold ings are to be carried in New York and wish money borrowed here. The real origin O. the orders is open to conjec- ture. Chicago is credited with large buying of stocks and with some lending os money here also.

YESTERDAF'S STOCR MARKET

Growth of vu~ss,y and interest in
 ~recu ntiom.
 New York, Dec. 9.-Another active and exceedingly irregular market to- day gave evidence of growth of varie- ty and interest in the speculation, al- though the total dealings fell slightly below those of yesterday. It was per- fectly obvious to the most casual ob- server that there was an enormous un- loading of stocks to take profits by those who had bought lower down. But the selling was not pursued at the ex- pense of values and there were recur- rent rallies in the general list.
 The leadership of the market to-day shifted back to Brooklyn Transit and Amalgamated Copper. There was a fu- rious speculation in the Brooklyn Tran sit stock all day, which brought a later response in the stocks of all the New York public utilities, carrying them from 3 to 5 points over last night. Brooklyn Transit itself rose an extreme 5%. There is a deeply ingrained theory in the speculative world that all of the New York public utilities will be brought ultimately under single con- trol, giving opportunity for important economies, especially in the matter of electrical power. This was the basis oi to-day's great speculation. But so far as could be authoritatively learned there was absolutely no new develop men.s bearing on the conjectured out come.

THE MARRIAGEABLE AGE.
Girls Don't Become Old Maids in Thei
 Twenties Nowadays.

Girls Don't Become Old Maids in Their
 Twenties Nowadays.
 Glancing down carefully compiled list of fashionable weddings celebrated during the last eigteen months, it was found that the average bridal age worked out at a trifle over twenty-five, which is also said to be the age of our newest Anglo-American Ducheses.
 Ideas on the subject of the marriage able age have changed with changing years, and no one will deny that the change is for the better.
 It would be considered outrageous now for girls to marry at the age when many of their grandmothers took up the cares and responsibilities which that step almost invariably entails. Girls oF fourteen and fifteen were then looked upon as women grown.
 Their granddaughters of to-day at the same age are little else than children, scarcely half way through school life.
 With the next generation the mar riageable age moved step or two in the right direction; but even then girls were classed as old maids at a much earlier age than any one would dream of so considering them to-day.
 In contemporary fiction, the blooming sweet seventeen Cor thereabouts) was the favorite heroine, but to-day the in- genue, or boarding school miss, is rele- gated comparatively to the background.
 Something more than a fresh com plexion and bright eyes Charming and highly desirable as these undoubtedly are) is required of a girl. She must be, if not actually interesting and cultured at least chatty and conyersant with current topics, She must have tact and adaptabiiity, so as to avoid extremes of all kinds; of being either too obviously delighted by passing attentions from men. or, on the other hand. aggressive ly independent of the little courtesies which any well-bred man will naturally extend to pleasant girl into whose so- ciety circumstances may have thrown him. Indeed, anywhere between tWen- ty and thirty, a girl Is more likely tc be soughtafter than before she is twen- ty years old.
 One frequently hears thoughtful girls remark that they preferrnen older than themselves to boys of their own age This is probably because of the vel known fact that girls develop earlier than boys. On the other hand, the old cast iron rule (cited by Shakespeare ir the familiar quotation, Let still the woman take an older than herself does not obtain to anything like the same extent as formerly.
 Much discrepancy in age tdespite hap. py exceptional Is generally rather to bt deprecated, but just as much so where the man is the elder, unless he happens to be of a young and intensely sympa. thetic disposition. Old maids or bache. Tor girls, as we much more descriptivelS term them, nowadays, make much bet. ter wives than old bachelors do hus. bands. The latter are likely to be sc crusted over with solitary self-sufficins habits as to make perilous probablli. ty of their being more or less uncom. panionable. The average woman, being by habit more unselfish, can adapt her. self more easily to sympathize Nitf other tastes and proclivitIes.--Londor Daily Mail.

THE LAND OF THE BAsoUEs.

The senor had never seen an ox-trail. On a plateau in the rocky uplands a. couple of thousand Basques were gath cred hardy folk, tanned and sum- proof. In the center of the plateau was a huge rock, weighing about six thou sand pounds. It was settled well in place. Hitched to 1t by long chains were two yokes of oxen, the leans, small, but sturdy hill-eattle, black or gray. A wild ox-driver goaded them into a fearful attempt to budge the huge rock. Again and again he drove the goad into flank or shoulder or neck, till the gashed bulls rained blood as they strained in the yoke. He was wild with excitement, mad with eagerness, the man; he screamed and sent the iron into the quivering brutes. Quite as mad, wholly as wild, were the men and women who cheered him on. In half an hour of this torture the animals did not move the stone an inch; finally one of them went down on his knees, then fell i; the onlookers hooted savage disappro- val. Other oxen were brought up; again the blood spurted and splashed; !; the rock moved little. The betting cents, of twenty cents, even fabulous papers worth four dollars, were wa gered on the event.
