CHANGES CINDERELLA TALE.
College Professor Says She Wore Fur
Not Glass, Slipper.

Ann AIbor, Mich.-Once upon a time
there was a beautiful maid, with the
daintiest feet in all the world. She
went to a party and danced with the
prince and when she would leave the
palace she went so hurriedly that her
slipper was lost. The prince in pur-
suing her found the glass but the
members Of the Pathological society Of
the University OF Michigan take up
the thread of the narrative here and
dispute that she lost "A glass slipper.
They insist that the slipper she lost
was furlined.
las the story OF the French bards
was handed down from generation to
generation" they say, "the word VAR
was corrupted TO 'verrc.' Thus it is
that we wrongly believe the slipper to
be glass, instead Of fur"
And this rude awakening is due to a
meeting Of the Pathological society.
Prof Bcnner's paper on the same slip
per and its discussion shattering a IA
voritc childhood tradition.

ADDITION TO NATIONAL FOREST.
New Proclamation Sets Over 100000
Acres in Nevada Aside.

Washington.-The president has just
signed a proclamation adding 600, 1876
acres to the Humboldt National forest
in the northern part of Elko county,
Nevada, bordering on the Idaho line.
This area contains a large amount of
pine, fir and aspen timber. estimated
at Gi,000,000 linear feet This timber,
although not all available at present,
is practically all accessible and can
be handled by employing modern meth
eds of logging This addition gives
the forest total area of 1,15S,S1S
acres.
This recent addition to the Hum
boldt National forest covers region
of vital importance from a watershed
standpoint, since many important
streams upon which extensive irriga-
ton projects are dependent have their
source in the forest. Mining is also
an important industry of the region,
and promises great development in
the future. Already a number of
stamp mills have been established.
These mills are also dependent upon
the streams of the region, and the fu-
ture welfare of the industry is almost
entirely dependent upon a cheap and
nearby supply of timber for fuel and
mine props.
Stock raising is another important
industry which can be greatly devel-
oped in this region by assigning GER
tain districts to the various stockown-
ers. and thus avoiding unnecessary
trampling out of the grass. The re-
cent addition to the Humboldt forest
has had the hearty support of practi-
cally all the local residents who have
submitted various petitions and letters
requesting that the additions be Gre
ated

To the Strong Rally in Stocks Came
INSTRUMENTATION Reached
Some Violence.

New York Feb. 25.-There was an
abrupt ending today of the strong
rally in the stock market which de.
yeloped yesterday. The reaction
reached violence in some quarters
that parallcled the demoralzcd break
of Tuesday. and, in the stocks most
affected, carried them to lower
prices than were touched on the pre-
yious break.
Speculative opinion in consequence
was much unsettled again aud great
confusion was shown in the currents
Of the markets. Reaction after the
rally from the severe decline is usua,
and is easily explained from the
same satisfaction of the demand from
the bears, whose necessities to cover
shorts always result in sharp re
bound from the sudden relapse in
prices.
The reaction today however was
somewhat early in developing. and
proved more violent than was an
ticipated. The renewed check to the
decline and stated Wavering of the
market, with a decrease in the vol,
ume of trading, were normal symp-
toms of the after-effects of liquuila
tion of the market.
The special point of weakness II
today's market was the copper group
eff industrials. The sutting down Of
the copper mines to limit produCtio,

similar to that inaugurated in the
steel market, and damaging competi.
