WOMEN m TIE STOCK MARKET.
wall Street Brokers Have Private
Rooms for Fair Patrons.

The number OF women speculatOrs
is amazingly large--much larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but i is a fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
COINS for their women customers,
with more often than not, private en-
frances. There are several reasons
Tor this. One is that many women
who speculate do so secretly, without
the knowledge of their family, their
relatives or their friends. On this at
count they desire privacy, desire Il
move and have their Wall street be-
ing unknown. Another reason is that
the broker himself desires it, princi-
pally, be 1t confessed, because he is
anxious that if there be any scenes
they shall be private ones, far from
the maddening crowds ignoble strife"
and sight. For truth compels the
statement that women are poorer los
ers than men. 1t is the testimony of
conservative brokers that woman
ga ?bler is much more of a gambler
than man--much more; that is. in
absorbing tenaciousness ard almost
Vlnd1ctiveness. She seems to be car
ried out of and beyond herself 20 ii de-
gree that becomes uncomfortable dis
quieting when she loses. Even when
she is a winner, and, as l have said,
the proportion Of winners to loser
among women is about one to twenty,
there seems to be in her satisfaction
kind OF righteousness that is not
good to sen.--.Wnrll To. Dav.

eELLRIRD BROUGHT TO LONDON.
Rare Specimen That Has Been Sc.
cured for the Zoo.

A specimen of the naked-throated
bellbird (Chasmorhynchus nudlcollis)
has just been received at the Zoolog-
ical gardens, London. The most re-
markahle thing in connection with the
bellbird Is its powerful voice; it Ut
Iers clear, metallic note which can
be heard at distance of three miles
Its noise is like that produced by
blacksmith striking his anvil. Some
times 1t repeats its notes In quick
succession, sometimes at fairly long
Intervals. There is no mistake about
the voice Of this bird; 1t is loud and
piercing, and would be heard above
the din produced by every inmate of
the ZOO raising it's voice at once. Ex-
cept for 2 space of naked skin on the
throat and around the eyes, which,
during the breeding season, is of a
green co.or, this bird Is pure white
The contrast between the sexes In the
beilbirds. Of which two species have
been exhibited in the menagerie, Is
extreme. For while the male Is pure
white, the female is brownish green.
Darwin refers to the be!lbild when he
points out that white is a very rare
color In terrestrial species of mod
elais size aid 'poffcnsive habits"
