The trading in this stock has gone on
for several days. and quite block has
changed hands at and below 81. The lack
of change in the selling price led today
to some gOod-natured chatting about the

terest at the meeting today was the sale
ssh. Some shares of the stock sold for

there was nothing done.

A JUBILEE JOKE.
Lady Churchill's Buste That Played
God Save the Queer"

Everything that year Queen Nicto-
ria's jubilee YEAR, was dubbed ''jubi-
lee" from knights and babies to hats
and coats. God Save the Queen was
heard ad nauscam ON every conceiya-
Die occasion until the tune became
an obsesSion. This led to practical
joke at the castle which caused much
amusement. one morning, speaking
of the jubilee craze, l pretended that
had received as an advertisement a
Jubilee hustle" which would play
"God Save the Queen" when the wear
er sat down. This, OF course, created
much curiosity and laughter. Having
promised to put it on, took my hosts
into my confidence. An aid-de-camp
was pressed into the service and armed
with small musical box was made to
hide under Il particular armchair.
While the company was at luncheon |
retired 10 don the 50 called Jubilee
WONDER" and when they were all as
sembled ! marched in solemnly and
slowly sat down on the armchair
where the poor aid-de-camp was hiding
his cramped limbs. TO the delight and
establishment Of every one the national
anthem was heard gently tinkling
forth. Every time | rose it stopped;
every time / sat down it began again.
! still laugh when | think of it and OF
the astonishcd faces about me.-"Renl-

Many years ago a Norwegian was
taken to a big London hospital suffer
l&g from an illness which prevented
him from earning his living. Sir Fred
erick Treves operated upon him and
completely cured him of his trouble.
Some weeks afterward the man called
upon Sir Frederick at his private house,
and, much to his surprise. presented
him with a coin. At first Sir Frederick
refused to take it, but the man would
not be put off.

One Seam For Fifteen Years.

1t has been said that the most mo-
notonous form of labor is cumming
labels. But there are many others
which come very near it. In the boot
and shoe trade, for instance, the work
is divided among as many workers as
possible. One will thus make a single
cut in the leather and another give one
turn of the machine handle. In some
cases a pair of shoes have passed
through fifteen pairs of hands before
reaching completion. As natural rc-
suit, there are workers who week after
week go on performing the same work
hundreds of times a day. Indeed in
one factory there is woman who for
fifteen years has sewed only one seam.
Her machine works SO rapidly that she
spends as much time inserting and
withdrawing her work as i'll the actual
sewing WESTMINSTER Gazette

CELESTIAL WONDERS.
Color of the Sky and the Moon and
the Hues OF the Stars.

the 7ues OF the stars.
1t is the atmosphere that makes the
sky look blue and the moon yellow. If
we could ascend to an elevation Of fiji
ty miles above the carth's surface, we
should see that the moon is q brilliant
white, while the sky would be black,
with the stars shining as brightly in
the daytime as at night.
Furthermore, as most picturesque
feature of the spectacle we should no.
tice that some Of the stars are red.
others blue. yet others violet and still
others green in color. or course all
of the stars. if we bar the planets Of
our own system, are burning suns,
and the hues they wear depend upon
their temperature.
The hottest stars are blue. Thus
Vega, in the constellation Lyra, is a
blue sun hundreds of times as large as
our own solar orb. We are journeying
in its direction at the rate of millions
of miles a day. and at some future
time it may gobble us all up.
For. after all, humiliating though the
confession be, our sun is only a very
small star-of the sixth magnitude or
thereabOuts-and of an Importance in
the universe so slight as to be scarcely
within the pale Of respectability.-
