His Dog Friday.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
 The Pope would be reconciled for his recent trials with the French govern ment If he knew what a staunch Catho- lie Mrs. Smith of Harlem Is. But Mrs. Smith is lax, indeed, in his performance of religious duties, so much so that the other day Mrs. Smith had him hauled before the church tribunal in the person or Father McCourt of a nearby church.
 Smith went meekly into the sacristy unattended as a man on confession bent Mrs. Smith was somewhere in the dark body of the church outside pray ing so zealously for her spouses com plete conversion that Smiths little cock CT spaniel Friday, tripping at her mas ter's heels, went by her unnoticed Fa- ther McCourt .ame to business at once with swift demand as to how many years had elapsed since Smiths last con- fession.
 Not so many" Smith temporized. Why, Father" he explained, "to be better Catholic than Mrs. Smith herself To prove 1t I will, if necessary, demon strate to you that even my little dog is trained not to eat meat on Friday"
 Now at a previous meeting Smith had detected the sporting twinkle in Father McCourt's eye, so he meanly proceeded to take advantage of 1t by wagering with
 
 the dog to eat meat if he, Smith, kept reminding the dog 1t was Friday. Fa- ther MeCourt, of course, did not know that the dog answered to the name of Friday, and took up the bet to the amount of s10.
 A juicy piece of steak was procured and held before the dogs dancing eyes. When it was within a couple of inches of the dogs nose. his master sternly called Friday, and the dog answered the call. Several times did the priest offer the steak, and as many times did the dog refuse at the stern call of 'FriGay," un- til the priest was convinced that this in- deed was Catholic dog and proof against temptation.
 Meanwhile Mrs. Smith prayed, and felt herself heard when her husband returned with an exalted demeanor which he did not think it necessary to explain was the result of the recent acquisition of a few dollars

LIQUIDATION STILL EVIDENT IN STOCKS Early Drop-in Prices Causes
 DiStruSt
  SHELTERS AND U. s. LEAD Abortve Effort to Rally the Market By Advancing Readlng-smelt-
 CTS Drop Despite the
 Dividend.
SHELTERS AND U. s. LEAD

New York, June 5.-The early drop in prices of stocks today served to throw aiscredlt on yesterdays upward movement. When this fact had taken hold of the minds of operators they became pro- foundly distrustful and reduced their transactions to almost nominal propor- tions.
 It was taken as a bad sign of the tone of the speculation that the increase of the dividend on American Smelling should be followed by a sharp decline in the stock, even though the increase he'd been expected, as the impelling motive for the buying which held the price up yes terday. This tendency of prices gives the impression that liquidation Is still pushed on favorable opportunities. An other potent factor In the reversal of form was the semi-offoial denial from Washington of the rumors that proceed ings against the Hartman combination of railroads were to be abandoned; for that was the significance given to the formal statement that suit was to be begun to compel MT. Hartman to an- swer questions which he declined to do before the interstate commerce commits sion.
 The large proportion of the dealings and the wider comparative price move ments in American Smelting and Union Pacific are very significant of the large part played by these two episodes in shaping the days events. The news otherwise did not have an important bearing on financial conditions, and was not of much effect in moving prices. Both the wheat and the cotton markets show ed the effect of some recurrence of crop damage to prices in the course of the days speculation. Both these markets, however, reflected conviction that condi- tions have been improved recently, both for the wheat and the cotton crop.
 The contemplation of this fact helped to check the downward movement in stocks Engagements of gold for ship ment to Paris by tomorrow's steamer amounted to S1,50O,000, bringing the total for the movement up to $6,S0000 The assertion of Paris bankers that the move ment was probably approaching its linn it's, was regarded with some skepticism, ana securities were still liquidated in London, disturbing thai market by the prospect of further takings of gold for Paris account. Russian political prospects were assigned as the cause for the re- newed liquidation at Paris. The satis- faction of the Paris demand for gold is 4lo.zed forward to with the expectation that the financial outlook will be greatly improved. American Car rose further on the strength of the resumption of divi- dend and this had some favorable sym pathetic effect on other iron and steel lndutsrals An effort was made to rally the market by advancing Reading late in

Spectacles Modern.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Did Nero wear spectacles? -Piny re lates that the Emperor Nero used a precious stone through which he gazed on the gladiatorlal combats. Dr. Magnus, the latest authority to examine the pas sage critically, holds that this means that the Emperor was in the habit of gazing upon an emerald which he used to carry with him for the purpose of rest ing his eyes when they became tired of looking at the shows. This views is cor roborated by the belief of antiquity that green has a restful effect upon the eyes. Contrivances for bringing the rays of the sun to focus In order to produce com bustion have been employed almost from time immemorial. Burning glasses were used to kindle fires and these must have been of considerable size even in q eoun- try like Greece, where the sun shines hot most Of the year. Moreover. we are told they were kept in chemists shops for the purpose. Though the art of making glass of certain kinds is old, spectacles had to await the discovery or invention of some method that would produce 1t per fectly transparent Specimens of glass have been found in the Egyptian tonbe more than 400 years old, and glass bot ties are represented on tornbs at least 150O years earlier. In Mesopotamia the art of making glass has been traced for at least 3O0O years B. c. But all of the glass of antiquity was of inferior quality and was almost useless for purposes where the rays of light were to be trans mltted unbroken and with undiminished energy. Mirrors also were made In Egypt thousands of years before the Christian era.

COTTON HAS SHARP ADVANCE LATE IN DAY Close is 10 to IA Points
 Higher TER EARLY WEAKNESS Forecast for Cloudy Weather In West ern Belt and Sensationally Bull.
 ish Private Crop Reports
 Do the Trick.
AFTER EARLY WEAKNESS

New York, June 1.-The cotton mar ket was lower early today, but had a sharp advance later and closed firm at for the day were estimated at 5O0,00O bales. The opening was steady at a decline of 10 to 1s points under yesterday on slight ly disappointing cables, favorable wealth CT reports, liquidation and selling by some of the local bears.
 There was good buying at the decline by old longs who had taken profits on their lines last week and the market steadied up during the early session to within ? or points of last nights close. The forecast for cloudy and showery weather in the western belt was said to be just what was needed by the crop to prevent damage from high temperatures, how ever, and prices weakened again before midday under renewed liquidation with prices selling off to a net loss of 15 to 16 points on the active months. The market was steadied by covering and buying by big spot people around this level and later in the afternoon had very good advance on aggressive bull support and sensationally bullish crop reports from the western belt, where it was said to be raining very heavily in some sections with many fields flooded.
 The rally carried prices about 2S to 90 points above the low level of the fore noon and the close was within a point or two of the top. There was nothing in the official weather reports to con- firm the private reports of damaging con- ditions in the western belt.
 Southern spot markets were generally firm and unchanged. Receipts at the ports today. 6s62 bales, against 99O7 last week and s57S last year. For the week, S5,OOO bales against 52,7SO last week and 55,47O last year. Today's receipts at New Or leans, 2706 bales, against 2663 last year and at Houston 629 bales, against 1911 last year.
