tla Eddie Brothertou, of Ashlr-y. Eddie

New Youk, April 4. Business nt the
stock exchange today was quiet, the sides
footing up 150,0110 shares, After a fairly
steady opening tho market weakened by a
drop of 1" iu general electric, which con
tinued weak throughout the day and in
the last hours of business touched 88J,
The annual report was not favorable aud
was a surprise to the street. DiBtilling
and cattle feediug advanced fractionally
at the start but latter receded . on
rumors thut the esse now before Judge
Uibsou will be decided ugainst the com
pany. Chicago gas was depressed IJf, Miss
ouri Pacific was again again active at 8le
33sjlU. Delaware and Hudsou rose from
18D,"a to U3jra. Tho advance was nttiibuted
to purcbines by contending interests in
the mutter of the new stock issue. Lou
dou did little or nothing. In the last hour
the weakness of general electric disturbed
small holders who proceeded iforthwith to
sell, resulting iu a net loss of to i's per
cent. 'I he market closed weak.

The Shrinkage of Old Age.
Every one is familiar with tho shrunken
look of the aged the wrinkled face, the
lank legs and tho bowed form. Tho shrink
age, of which these are but, the outward
signs, affects the entire muscular system,
llenco the changed tone of the voice and
the weakened action of all the bodily organs.
No old man la equal to tho muscular effort
of his earlier yeam, and those who refuse
to recognize this fact, arc sure to do them
selves barm.
Dut other tissues us well 11s tho muscular
undergo shrinkage, Thus the cartilaginous
cushion between the joints of the spino con
tracts aud at tho game lime becomes more
calcareous ami unyielding. The result is
tbutthe spine loses its suppleness and elas
ticity, and is morn liahlcto harm from con
cussion. The person also becumoa appreci
ably shorter.
The bOnes undergo 11 similur change, uud
not only fracture more readily, but uroless
easily healed. Old persons need to be
specially on their guard agaiust falling so
as to break the thigh bone, as the point of
fracture is idruost sure to bo ut the narrow
neck, where tho tendency to heal is least.
When the teeth are lost by uge the shrink
age of the jaw narrows tho canals through
which importaut nerves pass, thus pressing
aud irritating tho nerves aud giviug rise to
almost incurable neuralgia.
Tho nerves themselves are subject to the
same shrinkage, so that in old ago there i-,
a lessening of nervous sensibility. It fol

Seeing how mutters stood, said to the
plaintiff:
" You had better address your answer to

"But, your honor," said the muu, "I

Stars Seen by the Nuked Lye.
One is afraid to say how many thousands
of years ago were made the first observer
tions of stars of which we have nny certain
knowledge; but in nil probability they
w ere made not less than Seven thousand
years ago, by priests in Egypt, who re
quired to know when certain stars rose
above the eustern horizon, in order that
their morning sacrifice might be offered at
the proper lime, that is, exactly at sun
rise. 1
Nowadays, such eye observations have
given place toothers made by elaborate in
Itrunwnta, which enable us to observe
stars nut only on the horizon but iu an)
part of the hlue expanse of heaven, whlh
by the increased power of telescopes the
number of stars within our ken has been
increased from six thousand the nuinbei
whieh may be seen in both hemispheres li)
the naked eye to probably ubout eighty
million, J, Norman Lockyer iu Youtlr.
