Boosting a Stock.

Stocks are valuable in keeping with the demand for them." said Wall street man. land the demand is often created by queer methods. A few years ago man who is we'll known in the street was overloaded with certain stock He told his wife there was money in it and that 1t would soon have a big rise. Next day the good woman gave the tip to the woman who came daily to massage her. The latter had many wealthy clients, to whom she gave the get-rich-quick tip. The stock became popular. the man sold out, and the masseuse who set the ball in motion never knew why she receiv- ed a present of extraordinary value at Christmas time from her client"
 Prom which one?"
 "Why, from the one who said it was good thing of course. The others probably discharged her" ."-New York Tribune.

CHINA REFUSES
 JAPS' DEMANDS
Diplomats Expect TroubIe-Russia England and United States Back
 ing China.

PEkIN, China, May 3.-The gov ernment of Yuan Shih-kai has inform ed the Japanese government that the majority of the demands made by the Tokio government will not be granted by the Chinese republic, as they are unfair and threaten the integrity Ot tie republic. The announcement caused some surprise among the dip lomats here and is taken as indicat ing that the Chinese government has received assurances from Russia England and the United States that they will back the republic against the aggression of the Tokio authori ties.
 Constant preparations are being made by the military authorities to bring the army up to a war footing The troops are being trained by for eign officers. Many German officers who escaped from the forts at kiao Chau being among them. The new troops are being raised in western China and are being euipped with ne" guns brought here from America and Russia.
 The next move by the Japanese government is awaited with keen in terest. Japan already has a large force of troops on Chinese soil and ilas refused to withdraw them. The Chinese have no troops to meet the we'll equipped Japanese forces.
 LONDON, May 3.-The foreign ot flee is greatly worried at the turn of affairs in China and is believed to be strongly backing the Chinese government in it's refusal to grant to Japan territorial rights over all o1 Manchuria and other parts of Chi ma, and is also aiding in blocking the demands of the Japanese government that all foreign loans made by the new republic must be made through the Tokio government, besides which all government supplies shall be pur chased from Japanese manufacturers The present trade of Great Britain with China will be destroyed if the treaty is signed and Russia, whict also does considerable business witt China, is opposed to allowing the Mikado a free hand in China. The alliance between England and Ja pan may be broken as result of the Chinese trouble.

REAL ESTATE LEASES.
Origin of tho Custom of Making Rent aIs For e9 or eo9 Years.

aIs For ee or e99 Years.
 Whence originated the use of the odd term in leases, 99 or 999 years?
 In other days lessees and mortgages in possession of real estate for 100 or 1000 years demised the same at an an- nual rental, retaining a reversion for the last year of the original term. The object of this proceeding was to be found in the unwillingness of the un- der tenant to become bound to the per- formance of the covenant contained in the original grant and also in the i'm portance to the lessor of reversionary interest, without which. under the old English practice, he could not recover his rent by distraint.
 Sometimes this reversion was for only three days or even for only one day, but usually in long terms the last year was retained Out of this came the popular notion that the law pro- vided this distraint, and hence leases were made for 99 or 999 years. when there was no reason whatever for any such odd period of time.
 In England there was in special cases restraint on corporations. or ecclesiastical persons prohibiting the demise of lands belonging to them to the impoverishment of their successors for term beyond 100 years and such leases were accordingly made for 90 years.-Harper's Weekly.

OLD TIME PORTRAITS.
Ooss There Exist Reliable Painting
 of the Poet Burns?


 Was this the face that launched a thou sand ships
 And burnt the topless towers of Hum? asks Marlowe. writing of the vision of golden Helen. similar question has been asked in regard to the divergng portraits of Mary Stuart. Was this the face that turned so many heads some $50 years ago? The queen of Scots was assuredly bewitching. Knox admits it; Knollys asserts it; Ruthven lost his heart to her in Lochleven cas- not one of Mary's portraits represents her as beautiful. Romney has sutfi ciently explained the fascination of Lady Hamilton for Nelson. But Mary Stuarts charm remains unexplained by her portraits
 And what about Burns? The point wish to make is that old portrait paint CTS are not to be depended on for strict fidelity to their originals. The mere fact that they differ so much in their representations of the same subject is enough to prove it. In regard to Burns, the question bears twofold aspect. Not only do the portraits of the poet disagree with one another, but even that which by its frequent reproduction has tacitly been accept ed as the truest representation cannot have been exactly like him when it was done. refer, of course, to the famil- far Nasmyth head and bust, painted in 17S7, when Burns was carrying all be- fore him on his first visit to Edin- burgh.-J.
