STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Operations Confined to Closing Up of
 Open Contracts by Professionals.

New York, Feb. 21.-The days op- eratons in stocks were almost wholly confined to the customary closing up of open contracts by the professional operators on the eve of holiday The bearisn sentiment which has prevailed amongst the speculative element was revealed by the predominance of short contracts to be retired Opposing traders were inclined to take advant- age of the necessities of the shorts by bidding up prices and striving to take the market away from their oppo- nents. It was supposed at the outset that the weekly bank statement would be given out at noon and there was some activity based on the assumption that strong bank statement would be before the public before the market closed. When it became known that the statement would not be published until after o'clock the dullness of the market was sensibly aggravated The strong feature of the market was the group of copper industrials, with sympathetic effect on other metal in dustrials This group has suffered acutely from pressure for some time during which a considerable short in- terest has been built up. Yesterday and to-day the downward course in the price of the metal. which en- couraged the selling of the securities. has been halted and g sharp rebound recorded The significance of the re- bound in the price of the metal is somewhat obscured by the speculative conditions which surround its market, especially that for London copper warrants. The course of copper gives evidence, however, that the sales of the metal effected on the recent de- cline have perceptibly relieved the pressure of supplies seeking market. Many unconfirmed assertions were cir culated to-day of the volume of sales which have been made. This resump- ton of dividends by the Brooklyn Union Gas company, gave an upward

LAST RESORT FOR HIS CASE
iokers Recipe for Man Who Would
Be Cured of Love.

Apropos of leap year, Robert Barr,
the Angio-American novelist and edi-
tor, told at a dinner recently story
about love.
"A man. he said, being profoundly
in love, consulted philosopher.
L am in love, he complained, and
don't like it. 1t keeps me from
working, from acquiring fame Can
you cure me?'
:" In the study of astronomy said
the philosopher, stroking his gray
beard, you will find a cure for love
Contemplate the planets, and in the
infinite depths of interstellar space
the puniness of yourself and the insig-
nificance of your love will stun YOU
SO the lover commenced star gaz-
ing, and all went we'll for a night or
two. Then, as he sat in his lonely
tower with his eye glued to tele-
scope, the girl came and put her white
arms about his neck
That night he gazed at the stars no
more. Astronomy, he saw, was no
cure.
But love irked him and he sought
out an alchemist.
Give me a philter,' he said, that
will cure me of love-
THE alchemist smiled
There are many Stories, he said,
about philters of this Sort but they
are all, young sir, quack nostrums-
The only love cure l can give you is
prussic acid
But the man shook his head. He
did not want to die. He wanted, with
free, calm mind, to do his work.
And as he unused on his hard case
he saw yokel digging in ditch, and
as he dug the yokel regarded the man
curfously.
Plainly you are rich,' the yokel
| said; why, then, do you frown and
sigh?'
am in love- the man answered
1t is torment. How can / be cured?'
The yokel roared with laughter
'Ho, ho.' he shouted, that is al
! easy one. Don't you know the an
swer?
mo said the man. What is it:
| Tell me quickly
Marry the girl said the yokel
| and he resumed his digging

attention to the sufferings of the thou

of them being state or political offend

escort from the penal settlement at

party to Pashkovo, a Cossack settle

Sunday School Lessons for the world.
A power greater than that of kings
seems to have been welded by the
little group of thoughtful men who
gathered at the Fenxray residence of
W. N Hartshorn to select the les
sons for the Sunday schools of the
world, says the Boston Herald. Every
year they gather to make this choice,
and when a decision has been reached
the lessons are handed out to the
printers and by them literally scat
tered over the planet The word thus
goes forth not in one but in scores
of languages. Europe and Africa, east
and west, north and south, get these
helps to religious study in the vernac-
Iular. There is a supply for Hawaii,
Japan and the islands of the sea. For
India alone 40 dialects have to be pro-
