Wonders of the Birds Beak.

The Sketch.
 Tie a mans hands and arms tightly behind his back and tell him that he must find and prepare his food. build his home and perform all the business of life in such a position, what a pitia- bIe object he would present, yet this is not unlike what birds have to do. Almost every form of animal and veg etab1e life Is used as food by one or another of the species; their most in- tricately built homes and their meth- ods of defense may be numbered by the score: the care of their delicate plumage would alone seem to nccessi- tate many and varied instruments. yet all this is ne by the bill or bCak.
 The beak of a parrot Is d wonderful tool. Both its upper and lower man. dibles are hinged to the birds skull. thus giving great fexibllity and free dom of movement

REVERSAL OF PRECEDING sPECU-
 LATTvE SENTIMENT. Floating Supply of Stocks Short and Some Difficulty Is Exoerienced in Covering the Short
 Contracts.

New York, Sept. 2o.-There was a re- versai of yesterdays speculative sentiment in today's stock market. It proves the assertion that is heard generally in the neighhorhood of the Stock Exchange that professionI bear traders find difficuity in covering short contracts.
 The immediate pressure on borrowers has become relaxed and the general outlook continues so favorable that further selling Of stocks seems not to be expected unless Set S snail be renewed The course y os "a,e the currency movement thus far this week makes 1t unlikely that the coming bank In the cash reserves and the trust companies are therefore relieved for the moment from in order to enable the latter to scale down deposit liabilities to keep pace with in- roadS upon their cash.

 The most notable movements. of the day were traceabie to individual influences. Re ports of important developments the Northern Securities settlement were revived effectively in connection with the approach ing annual meeting of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific. The rise In that group of stocks stimulated some sympa- thetic strength In other high priced Fail- road stocks. The notorious existence of an active railroad pool in Reading was given most of the credit for the renewed spurt in that stock The organ of the anthracite strain of the. demand in that industry.
 The annual report of the Central Rail- road of New Jersey was a help to that group. In the same way New York Central was aided by its statement of quarterly earnings, The, revived strength of Canadian Pacific was due to reports of prosperous conditions which have served before to lift that stock.

The shetIand the Perfect Pet

country liIe Tn America.
 The cry of the children is for per feet pet What the rattle and the doll are to the earliest years of us, that the Shetland pony is fated to become for older childhood. This animal Is the one only pet that won't at some time or other make reprisal on the hand that nags. The dog-every dog-will bite when the child becomes too familiar. There are elements in cats nature that puzzle and repulse the child, a something that makes it walk ''by its wild lone" The goat is inadequate. We could analyze a Noahs ark of anl- mals in this way only to find that the one satisfying safe living pet is the Shetland pony. If more than eight children ride on his back he will shake himself like wet Newfoundland and then stand motionless, while they pick themselves up and out from his four hoofs. 4 large and more highly nerved grade of horse would trample the,ehiIs dTen that were tripping him.

New York. Sept. 2o.--rrading in cotton continued quiet. being chiefly professional. but the market on the whole was firm and while part of the early advance was lost toward the close. final prices were s@l1 points net higher. Sales were estimated at aTs.ooo bales.
