LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Yesterdays transactions on the Wash
ington Stock Exchange were noteworthy,
in that they were confined almost entirely
to local stocks, and were in large volume.
The railways and Washington Gas were
the leaders, while bank stocks and some
securities that are not usually traded in
came out strong.
Changes in the officials Of the city banks
occupied the attention Of the brokers a
good deal. and President Hume had some
difficulty In keeping his subordinates in
line during the call. The resignation Of
Arthur T. Brice from his position as vice
president of the Riggs Bank and that Of
K. Z. White, assistant cashier Of the Bank
of Washington, afforded the subject Of
much whispered comment upon the eX
change.
Washington Railway common recorded
sales of 800 shares around 405z, two lots OF
% being options at 402.
Washington Gas was more active than
it has been for several weeks. The i'm
preston seems to have gotten abroad that
there viii be no gas legislation by Con-
gress at this session, and members Of the
stock exchange apparently. are working
on the tip that it is due for n rise. over
$50 shares went under the hammer from
56A up to 57Iz.
some days ago the governing commit
tee served notice upon the companies rep
resenting certain stocks listed on the ex-
change that unless more interest was
taken in them by brokers' within the
next thirty days the stocks would be
taken from the board. Yesterday South

Great Builders.

An eminent Divine once preached a
sermon from this text: ION building
and builders He talked Of the Worlds
Great architects, artists, authors. paint
ers, sculptors, etc. He said that every
one, no matter how low his station in
life, who left the world better than he
found it, was builder, that he who
digged ditch well built for the worlds 5
betterment. He might truthfully added
that he who discovers great remedy
like Rydale's Tonic, works for the
worlds betterment. Rydale's Tonic is
a human system builder 1t purifies
and builds the blood, restores weak
nervous systems and increases the
strength and weight. All who have
used Rydale's Tonic, pronounce it a
great system tonic and builder. DR..

To begin with, does your horse suffer

power to give his pain surcease' and
to make him happy and conteated, for
than homesickness OF the acute and
chronic form men knows few more

position soeiable or misanthropic? You
don't know? Well, why not find out?
Does It irritate him to have his yoke

visibly while he does? Is privacy evi-
dentiy his preference? Very well, tssn,
By boards or zinc or tin OF canvas shut
of both sides Of his stall at the head
so that he may eat in peace and live
the isolated life which he prefers.
If he lays back his ears or snaps at
his neighbors or adgets and kicks at
the partitions, ETC., he does not fancy
company-at least at mealtimes-and
he will be better, do better: and (here
the pocket comes in) keep more cheaply

contrary, q ''shy FEEDER" let him see
others eat; even let him by simple
arrangement feed from the same man
ger SIS one OF his neighbors, which is
to be ted up short until Master Dainty
has eaten all he will, when, upon al
lowing the neighbor to partake, the fas-
tidious one will redouble his efforts to
eat just to spite the late conner at the
feast. The writer has used this plan
with many poor feeders from race
horses down and always with the best
results.-F. NJ. Ware in Outing Maga-

CYPRESS KNEES.
How They Are Formed-Troes' Curious
Blunt Roots.

How They Are Formed-Trees' Curious
Blunt Roots.
The cypress knee is q familiar OBJECT
II all the lowland forests Of the south,
but there are thousands Of northern
people who have never seen them, and
there are many southern people, too,
who have not seen them till they
stumbled over them some dark night.
The knee is Of solid wood, has no limbs
or .eayes, is anywhere from six inches
to six feet in height, and its rounded
TOP and fattened sides give it very
much the shape Of human leg bent at
the knee till thigh and calf are brought
together; hence the appropriate name
Of "knee.'
For number Of years was curious
as to what part the knees played IN
the life Of q cypress tree, writes cor
respondent Of Forest and Stream, for
they are part Of its root system and do
not grow independently. They were
not sprouts, trying to grow into trees,
for they never developed branches, and
the final conclusion was that their only
use was for people to stumble over.
How and why such useless appendages
to the tree were formed was mys-
terry until one day when drifting down
a deep channel which had been washed
through a cypress swamp the secret
was exposed
The earth had been washed away
from the roots Of some Of the trees,
and roots in all stages Of growth were
in sight. None Of these roots was less
than two and one-half inches thick and
OF Uniform size clear to their tips or
rather clear to their blunt ends, for
there was no tip.
Nature intended these roots to grow
in soft mud, and they were all right
FOR that purpose, but when the blunt
end OF a root encountered something
too hard to push through it bent or
buckled il the line o. least resistance,
and this was generally toward the top
Of the ground, ard the continuing
growth Of the root pushing the bend
further upward made the bend closer,
until finally the two arms Of the bend
were close together and they grew to-
gether, with one sheet of bark inclos-
ing both.

chase price Of which the firm note was
given. Berry waE jolly, irresponsible
soul, who was born thirsty and who
gave his undivided attention to that
part Of the stock known as wet gro

hand, having keen appetite, devoted
himself to the crackers and cheese,
smoked herrings and other edibles at
the dry end Of the shop. This happy
adjustment riyaIed the familiar case
Of Jack Sprat and his congenlal spouse,
but the meager stock could not long
Withstand the inroads Of hunger at the
one end and thirst at the other, and
crisis came which required the sale Of
the remnant Of stock. The purchaser
defaulted, and Mr. Lincoln was left to
pay all the liebaities-a task which
plagued him for several years. There

from these distressing symptoms of
indigestion by taking one or two tablets
when needed. Taken regularly after
meals they tone and strengthen the
stomach and enable it to digest the
food and prevent fermentation, which

In Mexico all vehicles, be they hand
cart automobile or anything between,
must carry a light at night. This rule
or law is rigidly enforced. Even the
drivers Of the poor little burro or mule
carts. on their two wheels, must carry
q light. So, rather than buy lanterns,
which cost money, they take & dip
candle, and wrapping it in bit OF
newspaper to shield it from the WIND
carry it in their left hand as they drive
along homeward from work after even

as the light falling strongly on the In

into strong relief against the darkness.
