But the improvement was short-lived, On Wednesday the floodgates were again opened, and under 12,500 head for that day and a still larger number recorded for Thurs- y, prices dropped downward even more rapidly than they had advanced.

He is Really Deserving of a Deal of Sympathy. A writer in the London playgoor d seribes the stage villain as agentioman who wears a clean collar and smokes o cigarette: that is how we know he is a In veal life it is diflicult to tell a villain from an honest man, and this gives rise to mistakes; but on - the stage villinns wear clean collars and smoke igarettes, and thus all fear of blunder is avoided. tlo has no power of parice. The good people in the play say rude and insulting things to him, but he never can answer them—can never think of anything clever to say in return. *“Ha, Ha, wait till Monday weelk,” is the most brilliant retort tha he can make, and he has to get into a corner by himself to think of cven that. His carcer is always easy and prosper ous to within a minute of the end of cach act. Then he gets suddennly let in by the comic man. It always happens so. Yot the villain is intensely surpr cach time. He ney ms 1o learn anything from experien A few years ago he used to be blessed with a hopefnl and philosophical temperament, which cnabled him to bear up under these con- stantly recurving aisapointments, [t was no “matter,” he w Crushed for the moment, tho! he “might be, his buoyant heart never lost courage. He had ' simpl <c fuith in pro- vidence, A time will come,” he would rel nd this idea consoled him, — ©f e, however, this trasting hopefulness wppears to have forsaicen him. Wo are y for this: we always regarded it as one of the finest traits in his charctor, His love for the heroine is sublime i it steadfustness. Nothing can alter his affection, She hates him, aud insults him to an extent that is unludylike, Every time he attempts to explain his devotion to her the hero ¢ in and knocks him down. or the comic man catches him making love to her and tells the “villag or the “guests, and they come around and nag him. We should think that the villain must grow to positiyely dislike the comic man before the piece is over. Notwithstand- ing all this he still hankers after her and sweurs she shall be his. He is not a bad looking fellow, and, from what w know of the murket, we should say the are plenty of other girls who would jump at him; yet, for suke of settling down with this dismal young female for his wife, he is prepaved o go through a laborious and exhausting course of erime and to be bullied and insulted by everyone he meets, [is love sustains him under it all, He robs and forges and cheats and lies and murders and ar- sons, If there were any other crimes he could commit to wir. her love he would, for her sweet sake, commit them cheerfully, But he docsn’t know any others und she still does not love him, and what 15 he to do? - Nipped in the Bud, Ts it not better to nip Consumption, the greatest scourge of humanity, in the bud, than to try to stay its pregress on the brink of the grave.
