Trading in steel stocks was very gener
al and II was impossible to learn how

very weak including Colorado Fuel

the steel stocks toward the end OF the
first hour.

other drive was made against the steel

string of 1000 shares, selling down 121f.
On the exchange It waA reported the bulk
of the selling was forced liquidation and
came largely from Pittsburg and Cleve-
land.

DEER LACK STAMINA.
The Wild and F7eet Footed Animals
Are Soon Tagged Out.

1t seems TO be the opinion of Il
great many people that deer and ante
lope are at the top notch among ami
mails as far as speed Is concerned" said
a Dakota ranchman. Il have often
heard the expressions as swift as an
antelope aud he can run like a deer
but the fact is any good horse can run
over Mr.. Deer or Mr.. Antelope within
mile on level or nearly level ground.
Il will guarantee to take any first
class COW pony and run down any deer
that ever lived inside of two miles. pro-
vided the ground be level and the deer
has no more than twenty-five or thirty
yards start. | often have seen cow
boys run down and rope deer within
half Il mile. This, of course, can only
be done when you are riding up the
wind and surprise q bunch of deer or
antelope feeding or lying down In
depression where they do not see or
scent you till you are almost on them.
Over a rough or hilly country your
horse wouldn't be In 1t with deer
The action of deer under full speed
reminds me of nothing so much rs a
seashell sent rieoehetting over the sur
face of smooth water. They don't gal
lop; they simply bound. and that is
where they lose speed over level
ground. But | have seen deer bound
straight up the side of mountain and
go fully as fast as II on the level, and
no living animal can catch them at the
uphill game.
Deer have tremendous vitality. l
have never seen one drop instantly
when shot. They will make jump or
two even when shot through the heart
Your true deer hunter will never
shoot deer running from him, as the
bullet will invariably spoil the hams
and hind quarters. Most of the west
rrn deer hunters can turn deer when
is running full speed from him with
II shrill whistle. The deer almost al
ways Will turn to see what that sound
means, only for fraction of second,
perhaps, but that is the hunters oppor-
tunity, and Mr.. Deer generally gets it
in the neck about that time"-New
York Press.

People sometimes lose their noses by
disease or by accidents, and some have
lost them in war. For noseless persons
the most appropriate organs are said
to be made of wax. and the best ones
cost about $40, though a really good
one can be got for $50. A nose made
of papier maehe may be bought for 80
Noses made of this material are enam-
eled and are deceptive. and for poor
man they are said to answer all the
purposes that are required. Waxen and
paper noses are, in case of disease,
preferable TO those made by the plant
ing of flesh on the diseased part. for
several cases have been known where
the transplanting of the flesh of the
nose has endangered mems lives.-Lon-

A hIIner,n Innf Mhh.

A Greek died in the small town Of
Caraeal, having always lived ON the
aims of his compatriots. Before dying
he made his wife swear that she would
bury him In the dirty old overcoat
which he wore every day The poor
woman had TO ask the Greeks of
Caracal to help her to provide the costs
of the funeral. good hearted Greek
went to see her in her afiiiction and,
pointing TO the body, said he would
give her a better coat to bury the man
In. Then she told him of the dead
mans last wish. The Greek, whose
suspicious were awakened. told her
that she should certainly not part with
the body before she had well examined
the coat, for there must be some par
ticular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining of the over.
coat and found $4,000 francs in bank
notes which the miser wished to take

THE lEONlNE DUMAS,
How His worshipers Adored Their
Literary Idol.

One evening in the beginning of June
| was taken to the residence of Dumas,
on the Boulevard Malesherbes by an
intimate friend of the great novelist.
As one thinks of lion, with his shag
gy name full of the jungle burs of ad-
venture so | can see the author of
"Monte-Christo" as he appeared on that
memorable evening. Standing about
were women friends, actresses, writers,
poets, attracted by world of romance
symbolized in the figure seated in the
middle of che salon. | was instantly
impressed with two things-the fres-
Goes on the walls and the attitude of
the host. He sat like a silent oracle,
surrounded by a crowd of female ad-
mirers, the whole company set off by
panels representing life sized figures
from Goethe's great drama-Faust,
Mephistopheles, Marguerite. There were
no other pictures In the room. The In
fluence of these figures, the attitude of
Dumas and his worshipers, concentrat-
ed the mind on the quintessential ele-
ment Of romance. Half Indifferent he
sat, as some handsome young woman
would stroke his head, while another
would place her hand on his shoulder
as they might have done with an old
lion long tanned and without teeth
There was nothing to distract the mind
from the harmony of idea and person
ality-the company of women might
have been part of the frescoes and
Dumas the creator of Faust instead
of Monte Christie" There was an en-
chanted element about the people and
the room.
The whole company conversed among
themselves, standing as IL they were
at court, while the host sat still and
mused. | was held by the mystery,
the fascination of the romantic atmos-
phere, the peculiar spell of the huge
mass that filled the fauteuil like an

DANGER IN THE HIGH DIVE.
Deafness Frequent Injury 10
Those Not Initiated.

Except for those who have an espe-
cial aptitude for it-and they are few
high diving is dangerous pastime to
indulge in," said a diving expert the
other day. a good diver may occa-
sionally lose his balance, but being
generally cool headed, he can regain 1t,
or at any rate sufficiently so as to pre-
vent injury to himself.
I'm the majority of Cases deafness Is
the most frequent injury inflicted by
diving. The cause of this is that few
find 1T easy TO drop the head sufficiently
to get it well between the arms. The
result Is they receive some tremendous
blows on the head, and IL the water is
struck bit sideways the ear gets most
of the concussion, and the result will
frequently be a rupture of the men,
brane of the tympanum. A good pre-
ventiye for such an accident Is to place
in the ears a little medieated wool or
cotton dipped in OIL
Another injury to health caused fire.
quently by diving arises from getting
large quantities of water into the lungs
The extent of the harm done in cases
of this sort depends on the condition of
the water as to its cleanliness. | have
often seen boys, for instance, dive into
water at places where 1t was absolute
ly filthy from the evacuation of drain
age into it. The danger to health, es
pecially to those with not oyerstrong
constitutions, can readily be seen.
THE higher the dive the longer, of
course, viii be the duration under wa
ter. Now, an inexperienced diver is
rarely able TO hold his breath under
water for more than second or two
ut time, and If the dive is an unusu-
ally high one he will In nine cases out
Of ten give up the struggle in trying to
retain his breath and invariably, too,
just before his head reaches the sur
face. The result not infrequently Is
that the water that has escaped into
his lungs and stomach Is far more than
Is good for him. and to many 1t is posi-
lively injurious.
The best thing | know of TO bring
one quickly 10 the surface In high div
ing Is to have a piece of cork fastened
'hih utAlDlA- 1OThS
four ounces eaeh are sufficiently strong
In buoyancy for man of 100 pounds
In weight. There are many devices by
which the corks can be kept secured
under the armpits. Perhaps the sim.
plest is to sew each cork into n tight
fitting canvas or cotton bag and then
again sew each bag ON to the bathing
suit by couple of strands. allowing
the strands to run over the shoulders
Those with weak hearts" the expert
added, cannot be too strongly advised
against high diving. The spring. the
rush through space, the break and the
entering and cleaving of the water are
altogether too exciting for weak hearts,
and especially so in cold weather.
