Let Him Stay a Man.

From inc AtchlSOn GIOb6.
A man soon gets mighty tired Of treat
ing his wife like goddess If he cannot
be at ease with her. and smoke when he
pleases. and take off his coat if he wants
to. and throw ashes on the floor and cigar
stubs all over the house, he Is going to
be mighty uncomfortable. and long to go
where he can. For IL Is born In man to
like TO do these things, just AS 1t Is born
In girl to like to do her own pet things
Moreover. If d girl has once known a
man in a perfectly comfortable chummy
way. she will find him worth twice as
much as before he dropped his awe of
her. Men are pretty nice they are,
but fer goodness sake. don't try to make
man ladylike. He isn't and won't be
If he is even half man.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, June 12.-A light volume
of business resulting in small and irresu-
lar changes in prices. made up the un-
eventful story of the days business ses-
sion upon the stock exchange. The morn
,1ng's situation comprised little nothing
calculated to incte speculative interest
in either direction. The London stock
market. Including the American depart
ment, was likewise irregular and little
was done here for foreign account.
The preliminary forecasts of the weekly
bank statement indicated that the gains
in cash made by the banks would be
quite counterbalanced by the increase in
the deposits, but It could hardly be said
that the consequent outlook for a negative
showing in the weekly bank statement
-cut much figure in the days transactions.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the country's
trade were fairly satisfactory exhibits, al
though the returns We're qualified to some
txtent by the repressng effect of the un-
seasonable cool weather.
Relatively Active.
In the stock market transactions were
relatively active in the same stocks which
have been conspicuous in the same re-
gard throughout the week. These were
Beading, Union and Southern Pacific.
Northern Pacific and the Wabash shares.
The last named We're exceptionally firm
and in connection with their course the
rumors of purchases in the interest of the
1.ackawanna We're repeated. Chicago and
Northwestern scored further advance
on small tranSa ctionS.
The local traction stocks were dull. but
fairly steady
In the industrial and miscellaneous
group, General Electric and Westing-
house Electric scored substantial ad-
yances, but elsewhere the price changes
III that quarter were in line with those
noted elsewhere in the market.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, June 1o.-An advance of

wheat for July delivery and more moder

Not wit hstanding local receipts were
considerably in excess of what had been
estimated the corn market was strong
early in the day, owing to buying by
commission houses and shorts based
chiefly on reports of excessive rains in
the corn belt. The strength OF whea,
also had a bullish effect. Initial quo
tation showed gains of shade to

the day the price advanced to 73ssa 13ia
Oats were firm in sympathy with other
grain. The bulk of trading was in the
September delivery. July opened a shade
higher at 52A. and advanced to 53ao"ls
Provisions were strong at the start
particularly pork.
Later in the day the wheat market lost
much of IT'S buoyancy. owing to subsi-
dence of the furry at Winnipeg and on

 Records remain of two con5urers be- fore the end of the seventeenth century who have performed tricks with water, viz, Married of Malta. and Jean Rover of Lyons. The former tp represented in an engraving of the seventeenth century in the Germanf- sche Museum at Nuremberg. Here he appears sending forth three separate streams from his mouth before a com pany of spectators; there are also represented nine vessels. doubtless for the reception of liquids of different coiors which he miraculously produc- ed. Between an angel and the sun are the words Solus sicut sol, and beneath the angel the words Fama volat. An- other angel offers him a wreath, which Is the praemium virtutis.
