The industrials v* ere generally slightly higher from the beginning. Steel stocks ruled higher on the excellent report of earnings for the year.

There were declines of Y2 in B. and O., and St. Paul. Coal stocks are generallyfractionally lower.

Market opened fairly active and irregular. 11 a. m.—The market for the greater part of the first hour was active and fu'l of buoyancy that was the feature of yesterday's close. The slight irregularity which was developed after the initial dealings soon gave place to improving figures. St. Paul rallied from the lowest and there was gains ctf 1 per cent in Illinois, Missouri Pacific and Hocking Valley, D., L. and W., gained 3% Soo, -preferred, roe 2 per cent: Copper reacted 1 per cent from the highest: T. C. I. was undier pressure and broke 2y2, but quickly rallied over a point.- After 11 a. an. the effect of heavy realizations was apparent, but the undertone continued firm on the belief in continued monetary ease. Government bonds unchanged.

Noon—London has sold on a moderate scale, but its total sales are less than 20,000. The general market in the last hour showed a tendency to react largely because traders thought it was due and partly on talk of loans being called.

Noon prices—U. S. S., SS1/^ Erie, 3S%: li. R. T., 6&V4: M. Pac., 110%: Reading, 6S Man., 150% Penna., 156Vs- Total sales564,300 shares. 2 p. m.—The market has been subjected to constant pressure all day on an unusual amount of profit taking, which has for the time being left the supply of stocks considerably in excees to the demand. The liquidation Is without marked feature.

Close—The stock market continued heavy during the last hour, closing about iat the lowest of the reaction.

HUMOR IN HORSES.

Story an Animal That Has Mure Than Its Share. Only those -who are unfamiliar with animals doubt that they have a sense of humor. Jimmy is a lively road horse who has ideas of his own and rery original conceptions of what is amusing. One day th? children had erected a small tent on the lawn and sat within it drinking lemonade and playing that they were banditti. Jimmy walked softly up to the side of the tent and slowly inserted his nose through a convenient slit, says Onr Dumb Animals. Byes and ears followed and, his head once within at the back* of the unsuspicious revelers. Jimmy gave one tremendous sneeze of that kind which is half a snort.

The banditti fell back in every direction, and the horse, withdrawing from the tent, laughed silently to himself before going back to his grass cropping. Jimmy's favorite amusement is that of scattering a flock of sheep. When he is feeding with them in the pasture, he suddenly stops eating and then dashes among them, sending them scudding over the hillside. Then he stands watching them until they again settle to theirnibbling arid after a short luncheon of his own repeats the pleasing diversion. Although this horse is the gentlest creature in the world, it pleases him exceedingly to frighten any one who has shown timidity in his presence.

Jimmy's two mistresses harness him without trouble or danger, but he delights in alarming one girl cousin who visits at the house. Sundry fldgetings and nervous starts of her own were enough to show Jimmy of what planner and temperament she was, and he Is merciless in taking advantage of that knowledge. If she enters the stable where he stands accepting the harness in the most docile manner, he opens his mouth, showing a wicked row of teeth, and makes a feint of snapping at her. She shrieks, his mistress 6colds and reasons with him. and Jimmy apparently -is then repentant.

FLIGHT OF THE SNIPE.*'J

Iti Dodging Cornea From the Anftitral Method of Avoiding Foe*. The flight of the snipe is swift, vigorous and usually for the fi«t few yards erratic^ The bird gets, under way •martly, and as a usual thing goes boring up' wind in a style rather suggestive of a feathered corkscrew. A series of electrical zigzags get him to top speed, whereupon his progress steadies a bit and he darts away in: something more like a straight line. As a general rule a flushed trird springs a few feet into the air, tongs for the fraction of a secoad, then begins to twist and dodge as though the Old Boy was at his tail. It would be very interesting could we discover the original cause of the dodging. Possibly some ancient foe, now long extinct, was best baffled by that mode of flight, for there usually-if rem? oxplsnntinn

for jJeculifltf actions by wild things. Because the flight happens to be puzzling to a gunner is no guarantee that the bird dodges for that purpose—such an explanantion would imply a deal more intelligence than the entir? tribe of snipe are possessed of. Snipe, of course, dodged on the wing long prior to the appeawtnee of firearms, and it is extremely unlikely that the erratic flight has anything in 4he nature of protective tactics against the devices of human foes.—Edwyn Sandys in Outing.

A Pie* For Leisure.

Individuals will rather helplessly reply to a plea for leisure by saying: "What are we. going to do? Competitors 'hustle' and we must do the same or starve." Some will urge that the American temperament demands constant occupation, that "hustling" is our national trait. Well, I have no desire to insist that we go back to stagecoach days. But all of us have plenty of opportunity to tone down a little. And why not try it? A national trait may be dangerous as well as useful—may need control. If the average individual would make more leisurely use of his leisure there would not be nearly as many cases of nervous prostration as therevare now. Put on the brakes a bit. Take things a little easier when you can. I know people who are never content unless they are "doing" something. Such abnormal desire for activity is not natural it Is an unnatural craving. It will be well for us not to be so eager to gratify itGreat Bound World. ^,

A "Man of Steady Habit*." It was a very angry man who met an acquaintance on the street the other day. "I thought you told me that D. was a man of steady habits," were his first words following the usual salutation. "I said I required a man of absolutely steady habits, and you were very positive in your assurance that the man in question was such a one." "Well, has he proved otherwise?" "Why, man, he is drunk all tt the time in fact, I do not think he has town a sober breath since he has been with me."^| "Then what are you jumping on'me for? Your own statement bears out just what I told you about him. I
