feyerish the market continued an irreg-
ular course to give way to firmcr tone in
the last hour, and finals show gains
from / 10 "a points as compared to Sat
urdsys closing. Without doubt large
proportion OF the buying in the active is
sues was short covering. but IN some
places II Cid seem as though some alb
sorption of stock was taking place, partic-
ularly on the early drive. In the after
noon articles containing a semi-official
statement that the coming issue OF New
York City bonds, to the extent OF
$4,000 900. ~ per cent, VIII be taken by
syndicate headed by J. p. Morgan Co,
caused considerable improvement in the
general sentiment. Money showed slight
ease. though some apprehension was ex-
pressed whether the Bank Of England
would raise its rate of discount next
Thursday For a while I expect 10 see
a good traders market, and II would
probably be better to confine operations
to purchases on weakness.
George L. Edmunds. Of A. o. Brown &

ent that offerings of stocks were de-

Benjamin Woodruff, OF Post & Flagg-
THE market to-day gave a good account
of itself. Dealings started In the morn
ing with gloom prevalent everywhere.
Several prominent houses. mostly Of the
dealing and investment class, were said
to be in serious difficulty, and predictions
were confidently made that one or more
would announce their suspension before
y O'Clock. When rumors Of this sort are
circulated. It generally means that the
bear party have about run to the end.
and so 1t proved to-day; and in spite OF
all this gloomy talk there was little or 10
liquidation In the early hours. and later
on the market rallied nicely. We cannot
have any bull market under existing con-
ditions, but I sincerely hope that this
great liquidation has about burnt itself
out"

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

The stringent condition Of the money
market. so far as speculative operations
are concerned. was well illustrated YES
terday on the Washington Stock Ex-
change. A holder Of 225 shares OF Wash
ington Railway and Electric preferred
stock was obliged to sell out. it was
said. to realize some necessary cash
and that number Of shares were put up
for sale. Though this stock has been a
bargain for weeks, and has been slowly
going down, the price broke about four
points and then rallied again about Two
points.
Nothing except stringent money among
spectators can account for such a han
pening- It is well known that in the
long period of liquidation which has
been going on in local stocks, preceded
by the boom IN Gas and Railway pre-
ferred, the local talent loaded up 10 the
muzzle with stocks offered for sale at
what appeared to be bargains. and were
really so. These operations. however
took a good deal Of money, and most Of
the spectators find themselves in a
position where they have good stocks.
bought at COW prices, which they are
making even effort to hold until relief
comes and they are able &c realize upon
their investments. But this leaves the
market bare Of cash, and when any
thing Ike what happened yesterday oc-
ours, prices break wOefully This prob
ably would happen with any stock. as
II is practically impossible to find a pur-
chaser just now for any large block OF
stocks in the local field.
The market, OF course, presents oppor-
tunity to the bargain hunter. which Il
has not done IN many months. An ex-
perienced broker said yesterday. that II
was the time Of all others that had come
within three years to buy any Of the
good stocks It was his opinion that

would be almost certain to realize fifteen

So this br oker thought It was possible

market that are now at low figure.

Opinions on the New York Market,
E. W. Crew. of Henry Clews & Co.
"A greater degree Of strength was shown
by the market at the opening, due to a
little buying for foreign account, although
commission houses also picked up a few
stocks on out-of-town orders. It is no.
ticeable that such stocks as Pennsylvania
and New York Central which are largely
held by strong financial interests. are Of
fered for sale whenever the market will
absorb them. The day brought forth no
new developments other than the reap-
pearance of inside support. which was an
parert in last weeks transactions. A
number Of the prominent floor traders
sold stocks in the forenoon session. but
later took them back. The report is elrr-
rent that the producers and consumers of
copper are now close together on terms
and although nothing official is known re-
garding the matter, it has started some
short covering. With the shorts out. the
market viii be 4 sale again"

The Alcohol Potato.

e.. ST am advised by the United
States Department of Agriculture
that they have recently imported
samples of potatoes grown in Europe
which have been found to give very
7high percentage of alcohol, and that
there are varieties grown in this
country, with which the department
is now experimenting, which show a
large starch content. In view OF
the fact, as shown in the report OF
the Committee on Ways and Means
perfecting the alcohol laws, that in
the fiscal year of 1905 Germany used
.91,14S,1S2 bushels of potatoes in the
production of alcohol, there would
:seem to be no reason why in many
parts of this country the cultivation
of these special kinds of potatoes for
use in the production of alcohol
should not be found profitable by
our farmers.
"A matter of great importance in
relation to the capacity OF our farms
to produce practically unlimited
quantities of the materials from
which industrial alcohol is made, ls
the fact that the growth Of. these
farm crops does not exhaust the soil.
After the alcohol has been extracted
from corn or potatoes these materials
are still serviceable as cattle feed,
in which form they ultimately find
their way back to the land.

Keep It to Yourself.

You have trouble, your feelings

ant, your friends do not treat you
fairly, and things in general move
unpleasantly. Well, what of it?
Keep it to yourself. A smouldering
fire can be found and extinguished, d,

can't pick them up. Bury your sor-
row. The place for sad and disgust
ing things is under the ground. A
cut finger is not benefited by pulling
off the plaster and exposing 1t to
somebody's eye. Charity covereth a
multitude of sins. Things thus
covered are cured without scar;
but, once published and carried to
meddling friends, there is no end
to the trouble they may cause. Keep
it to yourself. Troubles are tran

Broody Hens as Mothers.

Professor Graham, of the Ontario
Station, considers that broody hens
are preferable as mothers for chick
ems Matched in an incubator. ''The
best PLAN" he says, "to get the
broody hens to take the chicks is to
Sive the hen two or three eggs out
of the incubator on the eighteenth
or nineteenth day and allow her to
hatch them. When your incubator
hatch is over take dozen or fifteen
chickens and put them under the
hen after dark. Even if they hap
pen to differ in colors from those she
has Matched she will mother them al!
the same. If you give them to her
in the daytime she may not do so.
Never neglect to give the hen a
thorough dusting before giving her
any eggs. If there is one thing more
than another that requires careful
attention in rearing young chickens,
1T is to keep them free from lice. If
lice get upon them, from the hen
or elsewhere, a large proportion OF
them will be almost sure to die"

A Man of Many Moods.

To get subscription from Stephen
Girard, founder of Girard College in
Philadelphia, was not an easy mat
ter. 1t required tact and the right
introduction, and many failed while
few succeeded. 1t is told, by the
author of "The French Blood in
America" that Samuel Coates, a
genial Quaker, was one of the few
men who knew how to approach the
eccentric millionaire.
He was a manager of the Pennsyl-
vania Hospital, and called on Girard
for the purpose of raising money for
the support of that institution.
"Well, how much do you want,
Coates?" asked Girard, in his usual
brusque tones.
Gust what thee pleases to give,
Stephen" replied the Quaker. Gil
rard wrote out a check for two thou
sand dollars, and handing it to Mr..
Coates, was surprised to see that
gentleman pocket it without looking
at the amount.
what! You don't look to see
how much I give you?" cried Girard
incredulously.
"Beggars must not be choosers,
Stephen" replied the Quaker.
"Give me back my check and I
will change it," said Girard, after
moments pause.
"a bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush, thee knows, Stephen,
mildly replied the Quaker. Without
another word Cirard sat down and
wrote him out second check for
five thousand dollars.
His farm on the outskirts of Phila-
delphia was one of the best in the
country, and while living in town he
often drove out before breakfast to
see that all was going we'll. He was
very exacting with his hired hands,
and never trusted the management
of his farm to any one else, but ran
it himself, as he did all his affairs.
Arriving one morning little earlier
than usual, he was greatly annoyed
at not finding his man at work on
a fence that he was building. The
mans wife, noticing Girard ap-
preaching the house, hurriedly
awoke her husband and sent him
to his duties by way of the back
door. After visiting the house Gi-
rard returned to the fence, and see
ing the man at his post, reprimanded
him for being late.
I'D been here, sir, but went back
for q spade,' said the workman.
"No, you hadn't. I went and put
my hand in your bed and found it
warm" replied Girard, and he dis
charged the man on the spot.

REMARKABLE SAVAGES.
From Cannibalism to Citizenship in
Only Fifty Years.

OHiy Fllly 1eaTS'
The Maoris are in many respects
the most remarkable savages with
whom the white man has come in
contact.
Fifty years ago cannibalistic feasts,
at which the flesh of their fallen en-
emies was served, were not uncom-
mon. To-day several members of
their race are members of the New
Zealand Parliament and Maori wom-
en-, as we'll as the white women. of
New Zealand, exercise the right to
vote.
When the English first occupied
the islands, in the early part of the
nineteenth century, it is estimated
that there were about 100000 Ma
oris in New Zealand They were di-
vided into tribes, each having it's own
unwritten laws regarding land, culti-
walton and other social matters.
The English found that they had
genius for war, showing unusual
ability in building, fortifying and de-
Tending stockades, and they expert
enced considerable difficulty in SUBJ
DUNG them.
The Maoris were also skilled in
several arts. They titled the soil
with great care; as carvers and dec
orators they were unrivalled in the
execution of rock paintings and in
carving the ornamental figures of
their dwellings, their boats and
sacred enclosures.
But the Maoris were also noted
for their remarkable tattooing, which
was designed to clothe as we'll as
decorate the body. The Maori artist
knew how to give endless variety to
the curves of his drawings; the nat
ural burrows, the movements of the
countenance, the play of muscles
everything was made to enhance the
charm of the design; and a hale
young man certainly presented a fine
sight, draped only in this delicate
network of blue lines on the ruddy
brown of his skin.
Whoever refused to undergo the
protracted tortures of tattooing re-
auired at every important event of
his life was regarded as a person by
his own consent foredoomed to slav-
cry. The men were actually depilat-
ed in order to increase the surface
to be covered with ornamental tat
tooing, while for young women the
operation was limited to the lips,
whence the term blue lips applied to
them by the English.
There are about $4,000 Maoris
left. They have retired to the north
ern provinces of New Zealand, where
certain reservations have been set
apart as their exclusive property.
Schools have been established
which the Maori children attend reg
ularly. 1t is said that such of them
as continue into the higher branches
of learning are worthy rivals of white
students. Some of the Maoris have
become large landed proprietors;
they are proud of their right to vote;
and especially of the fact that their
women obtained this privilege at the
same time that it was given to the
white women of New Zealand, in
