GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20 The stock mar
ket had q truly holiday appearance this
morning, attendance being small and
transactions consequently few and unim-
portant, while movements in prices pos
sessed but little significance except in one
or two stocks. Outside interests were
doing nothing in the market and COM
mission people were idle; and while the
temper of the room was conservatively
bullish, traders who did the bulk of the
business put out few lines. The final
changes are for small fractions only, ex-
cept an advance of l per cent. in Bur-
lington and Quincy, and are about
equally divided between gains and losses.
Railroad bonds were quiet, but firm,
throughout, and the issues traded in
show small advances as the result of the
day. trading.
Government bonds dull and strong.
State bonds dull and steady.

Beware of Scnohha

Scrofula is probably more general than any
other disease. 1t is insidious in character,
and manifests itself in running sores, pustular
cruptions, boils, swellings, enlarged joints,
assesses, sore eyes, etc. Hoods Sarsaparilla
expels all trace of scrofula from the blood,
leaving it pure, enriched and healthy.
81 was severely afflicted with scrofula, and
over year had two running sores on my neck.
Took five bottles Hoods Sarsaparilla, and am
cured.' c. E. LovEJoY, Lowell, Mass.
C. A. Arnold, Arnold, Me-, had scrofulous
sores for seven years, spring and fall. Hoods

SarSaparilla, the great blood purifier.
William Spies, Elyria, o., suffered greatly
from erysipelas and salt rheum, caused by

An Unconscious Mans Action.

Students of mental phenomena will
find something of interest to them in the
case of the Bloomington Qll.) street car
driver who made heroic fight to keep
his cash box out of the hands of thieves.
He was terribly beaten and cut about the
head, and, though knocked senseless.
managed to keep the box out of the
hands of the highwaymen. Then, so
strong was the power of habit, he, though
utterly unconscious of what he was do
ing, completed his run and took his
horses to the stable, holding tightly to
the cash box the while. A strange feat
IRE of the case was that when he reached
the office, in which he seemed to have
gone purely mechanically, he refused
to give up the box, making as dcs-
peratc fight against the cashier as he
had made against the thieves. History
abounds with cases of unconscious per-
formance of routine duties, but this cas-
addsto those testimony which seems to
prove that what Hume calls habit is NOT
neccs -arily an impression made by MANY
repetitions of the same act, but may be as
well the deep impression made by sin.
gle very impressive act. - Chicago Times.
