A FINANCIER'S WIFE.

become n Hiicrillce. If thorn ai one
thing that this worthy wonuui prided
herself on it win lier mind, unit when
ever t!mt organ reached n decision it
clung to it with ii tctnifit y worthy of
almost biiv cause. Mrs. Mortimer's
will power never slipped ils trolley.
Rlio liml decided in thin instance, to
cnst herself ns uii offering on tho nltnr
of lirr lutHlmiiit'n liilti-r welfare. She
had watched him grow niorlil, self
absorbed, restless; ami, niter n tedious
lmt, on tho whole, satisfactory process
of ratiocination, nho hnd reached tho
conclusion tlmt it was inciimlioiit iiion
lier, ns his licttor half, to revive him,
to enliven his drooping spirits hy the
refreshing waters of her own mental
ity. Having established herself firmly
npon thin propoHition nho cast about
her for Home effective methoil whereby
she could luing thn old sparkle I nick
to liin eye, the color to his wan cheeks,
tho smoothness to his wrinkled tirow,
"He in very nilent nt meals," she re
fleeted. "Ho roads his -newspapers
anil letters in n fidgety, despondent
way J ho goes out early in the evening
and remains Into nt his club. Then,
again, I seem to liore him. That is
ery strange. He used to take ho much
interest in nil my nfl'iiiru. Now what
can he find at the elnli that ho cannot
have nt home? I Hot out to give him
all the comforts of a eluti. How have
I failed? Perhaps my conversa
tion boron him. Ah, that's it! My
rango of topics is too narrow. I
really munt pay more attention to
tho current news. roorJohn! When
his mind is full of business cares I
bother him with my chatter about
books and theater and and things.
What he needs is a home where he can
get in nmall doses the mental tonic he
finds on tho exchange and at his
club. I'll rend tho uewspnpern every
dny and surprise the poor fellow with
my windom- The idea of my talking
about bonnets when In is thinking
only of bulls and bears. Its ab
surd !"
Mrs. Mortimer began her expert
mout that evening at dinner. They
bad cnten their soup in silence and tho
anxious wife hail been nerving herself
for the conversational plunge that she
had determined to make for the sake
of her poor, dear boy. Filially she
asked:
"How was the market toduv,
Adolphe?"
The . broker looked at his wife
sharply,
"Whnt market? Jefferson? Wash
ington? Whut do you inonn, Gene
vieve?" "Tho stock market, denr. Was it
asy?"
' Easy as a sum in fractions," ho an
swerod, crossly, helping himself to the
fish ami relapsing into a moody
silence,
"Vulgar fractions," she was tempted
to retort, lint stayed her tongue in
time. After a while she made another
attempt to rebuild his shattered con
stitution. "How was the bank statement to
day, my dear? "
"Whose?" be asked nervously.
"Why, anybody's everybody's.
You know what I mean, darling. Are
things looking up?". Her voice trom
bled slightly, but she smiled sweetly.
He glanced at her questioniugly, but
remained silent.
Bhe was growing discouraged, but,
M I have said before, Mrs. Adolphe
Mortimer had a will ot iron and re
fused to give up the fight. It was
something gained, at all events, to
. cause even a gleam of surprise in her
husband's weary eyes.
"Are you long or short, Adolphe?"
she ventured at last. ,
- "01 what?"
Bhfl renlly didn't know.
"Of of margins," she faltered,
almost in a whisper. He wan too pre
occupied to patch her answer, and
again the dinner went forward in
Milelice.
"IVrhnps," sho mused, "he will be
more talkative over his cofTee and
cigar. I w ill wait a moment before
making another effort. Let hip nee?
What shnll I snv next? He snid tho
market was ns easy ns a sum in frac
tions. That means it's hard. When
it's hnrd it's it's well, I don't
know. I never heard of its being
lmrd nor soft, either. Sometimes
it's feverish, isn't it? That's it. I'll
nsk him ntioitt it about its its tem
perature. No, that won't do. That
wouldn't sound like w hat I read in Hint
Wall Street paper. l!ut wnsn't there
something about the rnte of exchange?
That must menu w hether it's fast or
slow. I ll try that.
"Did the exchange run very well
today, sweetheart?" she liegnn again,
as he moodily lit a cigar.
He gazed at her a moment quizzi
cally and then blew a cloud of smoke
into the air.
"Are you trying to get tip a corner
in bosh, Jenny?"
Shu disliked having her name abbre
viated mid remained silent. Her heart
was very heavy. She decided, after n
time, to try another tack. Looking nt
him meekly, she asked: .
"Adolphe, my darling, what does it
mean when it says that a Mock has
been watered too much?"
"I don't know what it is, my dear,
but almost any stock is glad to get in
out of 1 li wet nt present."
This was not especially lucid, tint
Genevieve felt that tier husband was
thawing a little.
"Ami what is u gilt-edged security,
darling?" she continued.
He smiled ny, actually Hiuiled.
"Von are, my dear."
This was delightful. He had not
paid her n compliment in ninny days.
"What do you mean?" sheusked, at
a venture.
"Well, my dear, you've improved
greatly since I took you from par."
His Hinile came again and his eyes
rested on her kindly.
She blushed like a schoolgirl. Could
it lie that she had really broken the ice
that had surrounded him ho long! l'''t
no; again he was lost in thought ami
seamed to watch nn unsteady market
through clouds of smoke. If she
spoke again alio might lose in a mo
ment the advantage she had Heetued to
gain. She sat silent for a while. Fi
nally she said, almost in a whisper:
"Adolphe, isn't this a good time to
buy stocks?"
He flushed and exclaimed:
"The best I ever knew! 15ut, con
found it ! nobody's got liny ready
money. I could make a fortune with
a little cash, but I might as well High
for tho moon as for a few thousand
dollars."
He lit a fresh cignr and his face
seemed to grow paler and more hag
gnrd as the castles he could not build
on credit floated nwny in smoke.
Bhe went over to him and, seating
herself on his lap, put her arms around
his neck.
"I've got a little money saved up
from whnt you've given mo in the Inst
few yenrs, Adolphe. It's only a few
thousands, but perhaps it will help
you out."
He laid down his cigar and took her
face in his two hands.
"How did you do it, dear? A few
thousands? Why, we've only been
niiirried ten years. How could yon
save all that out of the allowance I
gavo you?"
"I don't kuow, darling. Perhaps
perhaps I kuow more about meat mar
kets than stock markets, more about
beefsteaks than bulls mid bears. You'll
forgive mo for it, won't yon, dear?"
"Forgive you, Genevieve? Here,
let me kiss you again. You've saved
us from ruin, dear. You're the most
wonderful woman in tho world."
"And you nru't going to tho club
to-night?" she asked, as they strolled
arm in arm into the library.
"No, darling; sit down hero and I'll
explain to you how we mako money un
the Street." Once a Week.
Wo in on Who Wear Heard.
A learned German, who Las devoted
himself to the study of physiology, an
thropology sud allied sciences, nmkes
the rather startling assertion that tuus
titohioa are becoming commoner among
women in the present dny than in the
past.
He tells that in Constantinople
among the nnveiled women that are to
be met with, one out of . ten possesses
au uuiuistakablo covering of down on
the upper lip. In the capital of Bpain,
again, the proportion of ladies with
the masculine c-haraoteristio is said to
be quite equal to that observable on
the Oolden Horn.
An American inedicnl mnn state
that in Philadelphia fully three per
cent, of the ndult fnir sex are similnrly
adorned, nnd prolmbly the proportion
would be still turgor tint that many
women take the trouble in erndicnto
the uuweleomed growth by tho appli
pation of depilatory preparations. Is
this increase in thn number of women
with hair on their faces to tie regnrded ns
a sign that the human race is Improving?
Very few men, nt all events, will lie
disposed to consider Hint a mustneho
adds to the charms of tho opposite spx.
Englishmen, indeed, only n genera
tion ago, hnd niich a detestation of
mustiiebios nnd beards that tho prac
tice of shaving all the linir off the face,
down to their mutton chop whiskers,
was nil tint universal. From one ex
treme our clean fathers plunged into
the other, and beards nnd iiiustnehios
rapidly became the fashion.
The fashion has of late yenrs been
modified. licardi are less common
but the mustache is cultivated in Eng
land n widely ns on the Continent.
Hut why should the fnir Sex lie visited
by this nlllietioii? Homo writerson eth
nology hold that the higher races of
mankind are always more hairy, and

With all stock the highest physical
condition is essential to the most rapid
growth, whenever nn animal is allowed
to get out of condition iu any way
there is a plieck to its growth. With
stock that are being fed for ment the
growth should tie pushed as raj. idly as
possible, as the hirgest growth iu the
shortest time and with tho smallest
amount of food is necessary to secure
the greatest profit.
With breeding animals it is not
necessary to push the growth so rapidly.
Yet a steady growth should be main
tained. Tho condition of the animal
must determine tho quantity of feed
given, but it should always lie suftl
ciout to secure tho result desired.
Whenever the animal fails to gain
there is a loss of the food supplied and
loss of the gain that might' have
been secured.
Full feediug with growincr animals
is giving a sufficient quantity to secure
rapid, steady growth. With fatten
ing animals it is giviug all that they
will eat up clean, but no more. It is
positive loss of feed to over feed.
Not only is it loss of tho food sup
