Throughout the week in the local financial
world stock of the Washington Gas Light
Company continued to monopoliZe the at
tention of the traders on the stock ex-
change, and each of the noon meetings
of the exchange was made interesting prin-
cipaliy because of the steady buying of
almost ali offerings of the issue Prices have
held well above 20 for gas for some weeks
rast. and sales last week were made as
high as 49, although the bulk of the trans
actions were consummated between Is

Several small lots of Commercial National
Bank stock were offered and taken. one
block of fifteen shares commanding prices
of 2iJ3a and 216, while 10 was accepted
for lot of ten shares at the end of the
week. Capital Traction was inactive,
though a few shares changed hands around

through the week, however, the general
question was going the rounds whether
the usual summer vacation time reaction
was not about due.

New Form of Bullet.
the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
German army officers have recently exper-
imented. with satisfactory results. with a
new form Of rifle ball invented by ar
Italian, Signor Cei-Rigotti. The projectile
terminates at it's front end in a ccrew-
shaped projection. the purpose of which is
to impart a more continuous revolution to
the projectile during its flight. The effect
is said to be to give a much longer range
and a aatter trajectory, with the same
original velocity as that Of projectles OF the
usual form. For some reason the in
vention was not accepted in Italy. but it is
said that this fact is regretted by the
Italian authorities since the successful ex-
periments in Germany

The Eyebrows.

With a bit of cold cream on the finger tips
rub the eyebrows gently to loosen any pos

with a mixture of alcohol and water. Last

the end Of the nail file. First brush them
straight up toward the hair. then straight
down. and the line will be fine and we'll

One OF the least pleasant characteristics

beauty maintained during the reign Of
Tennyson and the pre-Raphaelites. Our

Italy's Relation to the Vatican.

convinced that one day or another Italy
and the Vatican must come to an under
standing In the common interest, and that
to demonstrate on favorable occasion the
concliatory sentiments of the Italian gov
eminent would be to render signal service
to the liberal party Of Italy. The confer
ence at The Hague seemed to him to be an
excellent opportunity to exhibit Italy in the
light of a sovereign position in relation to
the Vatican. and at the same time to ex-
hibit in the face of other nations the tOler-
anca that inspired the Italian govern nent."
The position then was: Russia demanded
the admission Of the papal representatives.
France warmly supported its ally. Russia;
Germany desired to give its Catholic sub
jects a proof that the Protestant govern
ment was friendly to the prestige of the
head of their church. Austria maintained
an attitude of reserve solely to avoid the
appearance of affront!ng Italian suscepti-
bilites or arousing Italian suspicious, but
with Italy favorable would have sup
ported the Russian proposals. Then oc-
Cured a remarkable manipulation of men
and Of nations. For policy's sake the ltal-
ian minister was instructed to oppose the
Russian proposal, and then it was that
the British government intervened and
made known to Russia that the English
government would take no part in the con-
ference If Italy was not represented.

noted Italian sculptor, who has been
in prison in Naples for more than a
year awaiting his trial for the murder
of woman, who was a music hall
star, has recently been permitted to
work at his art in order to ease his
mind or his material troubles. An
adjoining cell has been fitted up as a
studio, and here the sculptor, who
is believed to be mad, passes the day
modelling with feVerish activity. His
latest work is a magnificent group OF
the royal family, which he has taken
from picture postcard. The artist
has announced his intention of having
1t cast in bronze. after which he will
turn II over to King Victor Emanuel
He expects that it will be sold, and he
hopes that the money it brings will
be used for the benefit of prisoners
