(Continued from Seventh Page.) mated Copper, were the heavy buying of Reading up to new high prices, the depression in Union Pacific the forward movement in the Gould issues and the new high prices made in the Guggen- helm issues and United States Steel preferred.
 In Philadelphia yesterday there were different rumors to account for the strength of Reading and Lehign Valley, one that a holding company is to be formed to take Reading over at 15O and Lehigh Valley at 10O
 The income yield on Reading at yes- terday's prices is a little over 2h per cent.
 In London yesterday the price of cop- per metal fell It's. in the market on real izations and bear sales, and closed flat at 277 sterling los. About 1000 tons were sold.
 Two factors operated against the fractions. The first was the report that the new consolidated common stock would be underwritten at 50 instead of at 60, which would materially affect the value of the old Metropolitan shares, and the second the Stranahan bill, which affects to hold up the proposed merger of the Belmont Ryan proper ties.
 Many declined to do anything in stocks until they got light on the Amal- gamated Copper dividend question.
 The popular interest in the Gould shares shows indication of increasing at the higher levels. The movement meets with favor because so many per sons have the securities at lower prices.

LOST PoCKETBooK.
Unfortunate Case of Deserving
 Woman.

Unfortunate Case of a Deserving
 Woman.
 Almost anyone would feel the loss of five or six dollars, especially if it was all the dollars he had in the world. This was the case recently with Mrs. Margaret Walker of No. 21 Olive street while on her way to leave her two little ones, two and three years of age, at the Day Nursery on Greene street, in order to do a days work at washing away from home. On the low CT green, as she thinks, she lost her pocketbook containing about $6, which she had gradually earned by sewing, and had hoped to make up the ten dol- lars needed to get her goods out of storage and make home for herself again. Mrs. Walker is widow, her husband having been killed on the Con- solidated railroad about year and a half ago, since which time she has had a, continual struggle in life. Rev. MT. Mossman makes this statement, hoping to thereby assist Mrs. Walker to se- cure work and also to give anyone so desiring an opportunity to aid worthy woman and her little orphan children.

BENEVOLENT BLAcKMAI1.

There is a young minister in Phila- delphia who has been remarkably suc- cessful in paying off the debts of the various churches to which he has been assigned from time to time. A brother minister, who was laboring earnestly by means of bazaars, fairs and other affairs to accomplish like happy re- suit at his own church, went to him and inquired the secret of his success.
 And I observe that you never have to resort to my present methods" he concluded
 The successful one smiled.
 No, he replied. You see, when we need money some good sister suggests bazaar. Then I call on the husbands of the married ladies of the membership and explain to them that in order tc raise a certain sum we are finding if necessary to hold bazaar. We have never had to actually bring the affair off. '-Harer's Weekly

HIDDEN GOLD.
The Hoard of Precious Metal That Is
Secreted In India.

Secreted In India.
1t would be an immense benefit to all
mankind If the stores of gold held by
individuals in India could be made
available for general use. Ever since
the dawn of history that country has
been gathering gold and hiding it away.
Treasures of almost incalculable value
are possessed by many Indian princes.
When the maharajah of Burdwan died
the stock OF gold and silver left by him
was SO large that no member of the
mate of 1t. A report made > the Brit
ish government by secret agent stat
I'd that on the estate of the defunct po-
tentate were number of treasure
houses, one of them containing three
rooms. The largest of these three
rooms was forty-eght feet long and
was filed with ornaments Of gold and
silver, plates and cups, washing bowls.
jugs and SO forth-all of precious met
ais. The other two rooms were full of
bags and boxes of gold mohurs and
silver rupees. The door of this and
other treasure houses had been bricked
up for nobody knows how long
These valuables, according to an an
cient custom, were in the custody Of
the maharajah's wife, the vaults being
attached to her apartments, but none
of them was allowed to be opened save
in the presence of the master. One
vault was filed with ornaments belong
ing to different gods Of the family. The
natives of India commonly bury their
boards, and among the poorer classes
a favorite hiding place is hole dug
beneath the bed. Dlsused wells are
sometimes employed for the same pur-
pose. 1t is undoubtedly a fact that
very many boards thus deposited are
lost forever. Gold IS also valued on re-
ligiOus grounds. The gods take up
great quantities of gold, silver and
precious stones. The temples contain
vast amounts Of the yellow and white
metals. The habit of boarding seems
to have been induced by ages of mis-
government. during which oppression
and violence We're rife. No feeling of
safety existing, ii was natural that the
natives should ADOPT the practice of re-
ducing their wealth to concentrated
shape and hiding it-Brooklyn Eagle.

CAPTAIN KIDD.
The Career and the Ending of the
Famous Pirate.

Famous Pirate.
Captain Kidd the famous pirate,
started his career with the intention Of
suppresslng piracy. In February, 1897,
he left the Hudson in the Adventure
Galley with crew of $50 men with
this intention. This expedition had been
equipped chiefly at the expense Of the
Whig ministers, and its commander
carried with him, "besides the ordinary
letters of marque, n commission under
the great seal empowering him to seize
pirates and to take them to some place
where they might be dealt with ac-
cording to law"
The kings right to the goods found
in possession of these malefactors was
granted by letters patent to the sup
porters of the expedition, his majesty
securing only one-tenth of the spoil.
Kidd, however, soon finding that little
was to be gained by the adventure,
threw off all disguise and hoisted the
Jolly Roger.
His rapacity and cruelty were I'M
bounded, and in less than two years he
amassed the sum of 100000. With
this he thought to make his peace with
the authorities and end his days in lux
ury, but he was arrested at New York
and brought TO England, where he was
tried and hanged at Execution dock in
1701.-London Saturday Review.

Did you ever see dog cape? For
thoroughness and entire absence of af-
fectation and mock shamefacedness
there is nothing like it. When he gapes
he Dom screw his face into all sorts
of unnatural shapes in an endeavor to
keep his mouth shut with his jaws
wide open. Neither does he put his
paw up to his face in an apologetic
way while gaping in ambush, as it
were. No. When he gapes he is per-
fectly willing that the whole world
shall come to the show. He braces
himself firmly on his fore feet, stretches
out his neck, depresses his head, and
his jaws open with graceful modera-
ton. At first it is but an exaggerated
grin, but when the cape is apparently
accomplished the dog turns out his
elbows. opens his jaws another forty
five degrees, swallows an imaginary
bone by sudden and convulslve move
ment, curls up his tongue like the petal
of tiger lily and shuts his jaws to-
gether with snap. Then he assumes
grave and contented visage, as Is
eminently becoming to one who has

scientiously y.-Pearsons Weekly.

The distinctive weapon of the Swiss
was the halberd, which was their prin-
clpal weapon at Morgarten and Lau-
pen. 1t is curious to note how the Teu-
tonic nations, even to this day, prefer
the cut and the Latin nations the point
We have been told by German officers
that when the German and French cav
airy met in the war of 1870 the Ger
man sword blades always flashed YER
tically over their heads, while the
French darted in and out horizontally
in succession of thrusts. Even the
German dead lay in whole ranks with
their swords Mt arms length. So the
English at Hastings worked havoc
with their battleaXes. The Netherland
mercenaries carried hewing weapon
at Bouvines. The Flemings at Courtrai
used their godendags fitted alike both
for cut and thrust and finally the
Swiss made play with their halberds,
an improvement on the godendag.
The halberds had point for thrust

SEX IN HANDWRITING.
An Interesting Little Experiment to
Prove Theory.

Prove n Theory.
1t is curious fact that one of the
only things which even an expert
graphologist does not guarantee to dis
cover in handwriting is the sex Of the
writer. We are accustomed 30 think
that the feminine or masculine tenn
perament will readily betray itself in
the written word, but in the majority
of cases such Is not the case.
Writing bold, black and firm, most
masculine appearing in every way, will
frequently be found to emanate from
the pen of woman, while delicate
tracery, with the regularity suggestive
of precision and method or the dash
and spontaneity which indicate a live
ly fancy almost Enthusiastically femi-
nine, one says on examination is discov-
cred to belong to writer of the oppo-
site sex.
An interesting little experiment prov
ing this theory can be made in this
way: Take twelve or twenty envel-
opes written in chirographies you are
sure of and number each scrap clear
ly. Pass them around and see how
many of your friends will correctly
guess the sex of the different writers,
which may be written down and num-
bered like the envelopes. 1t will sell

the guesses at most are correct.-Ex-

An ingenious trap for catching tigers
and large black panthers is used by the
natives Of an isolated part of Indo-
China. A short length of tree log is
followed out, and around each end Of
it are driven long sharp spikes so as to
project inward, leaving an opening Of
about six inches. Through small
trapdoor pariah dog or pig is placed
in the log for bait and the trap left for
future developments. The tiger or
panther easily pushes in his paw to Sc
cure the bait, but when he tries to
withdraw it it is impaled on the sharp
spikes, and he is trapped.

The Word H,Jan.v

In many English country dialects the
word Gag" is found. 1t originally
meant a small load of hay, from which
it came to mean load of drink so big
as to overcome one. Gag" possesses
an infinite number of meanings. The
original meaning, "a load" has been
extended TO the journey with the load,
the saddlebags which held It and the
act of carrying it, while in certain dis
tricts it signifies blister, the head Of
a flower, calf leather and fatigue, in
addition to coinciding with Jog and
figuring in ordinary English to denote
rough or Gagged" edges.
