THE CURSE OF FL.ANNELs.

At the age of six found myself-in- felix!-removed to a town possessing a bleak climate and many woolen manu- factories. It was the custom of the house mothers to buy flannel by the piece direct from the factory, red fan mel, hot, thick, felled like a Laplander, and the invention of Lucifer. Out of this flannel was cut a garment, con- tinuous, all-embracing garment, of neu- ter gender in which every child in that town might have been observed flaming Mephistophelianzlik after the morning bath. A pattern was given to our mother. The hair shirt-I laugh when I read! By definition the hair shirt must have possessed geographical liIn- its of attack, but my fiannels left no pore untickled, nntortured; they heated the flesh until scarlet fever paled into Ia mere pleasantly, and they soured the milk of amiability within me forever. The rotation of the seasons reduced it. self to terms of red flannel. In the au- tumn, when the happy fowls and foliage alike moulted. shed the superfiuous, when bracing October set the body in a glow, I alone of living things must be done up in fanneli
 And spring, that seasongof verlial bourgeoning, was the time when I, too, like any other seedkin, slipped free of all stuffy incasings, and could sprout and spring in air and sun, clad in blessed, blessed muslin. shall never forget the corroding bitterness Induced by flannels. At times they absolutely reduced me to f1stieuffs with my reli- zion, so that filial piety, the ordaining of the seasons, and the very catechisnl itself hung in the balance of the con fiict.

marshy places. It's foliage consists of from three to five pairs of opposite leaves. and one terminal leaf to each petiole, and to an ordinary observer 1t appears like our common staghorn and other sumacs. At all times its swamp loving habits for it is never found elsewhere should serve to identify 1t, while in the autumn it proelaims itself in unmistakable terms, for, as Thoreau puts it, fit blazes it's sins as scarlet" Moreover, its berries are white, as are those of the poisonous ivy, instead of red, as are those of all the other su- macs, and this is the most important point of difference.
 Of the four other sumacs. which grow with more or less abundance throughout the middle and eastern states, we need have no fear, as they are all harmless. In every instance the berries grow in dense clusters and are bright red. The leaves are in many pairs on the same petiole, with the sin- gle exception of the fragrant sumac, which, like the poison ivy, has but three leaflets: but this need not in the least confuse one, os the shape of the leaves and the general characteristics of the plants are in nowise the same.
 There is a little jingle which re- member having at some time read, which concisely. if not poetically, ex- plains these differences, and which, if committed to memory, will always serve to distinguish the poisonous and n-poisonous sumacs; Berries red /. Have no dread; Berries white ,

It is evident that the stock market is sensitive to corn crop newws and any thing decisive on the point would be likely to have important effect on the grangers. United States Steel pre- ferred was unusually sluggish during the greater part of the day but it was suddenly brought into the advance and lifted to a new high figure on the movement. The Pennsylvania group and the hard and soft coal carries gen. erally were benefited in sympahy. owing to the advantage to them of revival in the iron and steel trade. Other metal stocks and those of meat consuming companies also responded, including Amalgamated Copper. There was no news to explain this movement nor that in Reading. The movement in Rock Island was associated to some extent with the rumors that the con- trol Of Chicago Alton had been picked up in the open market in the Rock ls- land interest. Chicago Alton was me- elected and unaffected by the story. The feyerish fluctuations in the Metro politans securities stock, in whic but 50 per cent, has been paid. There was doubt whether an additional instalment was to be paid or whether the expected traction merger was involved. The late upward movement in sympathy with U. S. Steel pfd. made the closing strong. The prospect of a weak bank return was of little effect on the mar ket.s

New York, Sep. 9.--Reading held the center of the stock exchange stage to- day and it's violent movement was the dominant influence on the whole mar sket. When 1t broke to more than a point under last night after the market had opened strong, it was concluded that the important speculative inter- ests were getting out of the market and the, traders rushe dto follow the movement. Union Pacific. also got a point under last night and the Pacifics continued to be affected by taking all day. When Reading made it's violent rebound the shorts in that stock rushed to cover, The belief was pre- valent that influential operators had changed their position and vague un- easiness was felt of some forthcoming development. Some selling of cstocks was based on belief in damage to the corn crop. This was attributed in part to the disposition to take profits before the appearance of the governments monthly report tomorrow.

THE HOMOGENEOUS AMERICAN


 The encyclopedias describe the ostrich as polygamous; in California, however. he adopts American institutions and chooses but one wife. A shallow hole scooped out in the ground serves as a nest, where every alternate day an egg is laid. Such an egg! Half yard around the longer way and tipping the scales at three and half pounds! A single egg would be a breakfast for a large family, though by no means an economical one. From twelve to eigh- teen eggs are laid, then the forty-day sitting begins, in which the male as sists; taking his shifts at night, visitors seldom see him engaged in this femi- nine occupation. Having many ene- mics in their wild estate, nature with unerring foresight has decreed that the hen breeding by day should match the sand, while the partner who takes her place when the shades of evening are drawn is the color of the night. When a week old the chicks are worth twen- ty-five dollars apiece, and a pair of four year-old ostriches, five hundred dollars. This is no wonder, for the hen, forgetting the seasons in land of per- petual sunshine, lays all the year round instead of twice a year as in Africa. Each bird produces every nine months a crop of feathers worth about thirty dol- lars; while the tourists who pay to see them, and carry off their expensive plu- mage as souvenirs, form the largest crop of all.-H.
