Questions and Answers.

What is the meaning of the title "lnfanta" as
applied to the Princess Eulalia? NEwARKER
Infante, masculine: lnfanta. feminine;
are titles applied in Spain and Portugal
to the children of a sovereign. The word
is the same as our word infant, and lit
orally means one who can not speak.
The name was given to the children of
the sovereign because they were especi-
ally the children of the country. In old
English we find similar use of the word
childe. meaning the son of a nobleman;
and this use must have grown up in the
same way, the sen of the lord being the
child the tenants had an interest in. In
Scotland, to this day, the eldest son OF
baron is the master, and an absurd par
ailelism exists between these titles, in
fanta, childe, master, and a trade sign to
be found in almost every town; for the
assumption by Smith, halter, and
Jones, a tailor, of the titles The Halter,
T he Tailor is an instance of the same
feeling as that which gave rise to the
titles of Spain and Great Britain The
Princess Eulalia is called Infanta be-
cause she is daughter of Queen Isabella
l of Spain.
Will you explain the meaning of the Stock Ex
change words "bull' "bear," corner, ~ mar
GIN ETC.? b. c.
On the Stock Exchange a ''bear'' is
person interested in having stocks go
down in price-he bears them down. A
.bnll" wants stock to go up. To cor
ntr'' stock or a commodity is to get
control OF all of it, and SO put the price
up ON persons who wish to buy. A per-
son who has contracted to deliver stock
at a certain price is g cornered" or
Caught in a corner" when other per>
sons get control OF that stock. When
person has plenty OF stock on hand he is
''long" ON it, when he has little he is
short" and a man ''sells short" when
he sells stock which he doesn't possess,
intending to buy it, and so fulfill his con-
tract; a man who sells short is "bull''
always. When you buy ION margin"
you give your broker one-tenth of the
face value of the stock you want him to
buy, and he carries it for you; if the
price of the stock goes up, you make
money; if it goes down, you lose. If it
goes down more than "ten points" you
lose the money you have put up as ''mar-
gin" and unless you put up more ''mar
gin'' you lose all claim on the stock,
even though the price should advance
Immediately. In England they call buy
ing ION margin" buying ION cover"
In putting and calling broker sells to
other brokers the right to put" certain
stock to him at certain figure, or to"call'
on him for the stock at Il certain figure.
Thus you may have a''put''on this brok-
er for 1000 shares of this stock at GER
tain figure; if the stock goes below that !
figure, you 'put" your 1000 shares on
him. Or, if you have a ''call,' and the
stock goes up beyond that figure, you
make him sell you what your "call'' re-
uuires at a lower rate than the market !
rate. A ''lamb' is greenhorn. All of
these terms apply to all speculative trad |
ing, whatever article is bought or sold.

that the true veteran gets his dues,

is the better, and the man who objects
has a motive that won't bear the light.

table food that can be given a baby. 1t more
closely resembles mothers milk than any
other food known. Its basis is sugar of milk,
which is the basis of mothers milk. With it
is combined the nutritive elements of wheat,
barley, and oats, in such proportions as best
meets the requirements of the growing child.
In recommending the use of this food at
this season, one of Shenandoah's best physi.
clans said to a HERALD reporter yesterday
"This food should be in the hands of every
mother. For in all cases of defective lacta-
tion the infants health is best protected
either by weaving and using lactated food
altogether or in any event by supplementing
the natural aliment of the child with lactated
food. The wonderful preservatise influence
of lactated food is too well known to require
any further statement. 1t is the purest and
most nourishing thing that we can find ia
recommend to mothers"
The thousands Of testimonials from the
mothers of children whose lives have been
saved by lactated food, are equally as con.
vincing as the statements of the physicians

Eject of the Exclusion Law Upon Re
Iigious work in the Empire.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31-The Presbyterian
board of foreign missions has just received
copy Of the report Of a committee, APP
pointed boy the recent synod Of China to
draft resolutions concerning the effect Of
the Chinese exclusion law upon the cause
of Christianity in the empire. This report
is the first official action taken by any re-
ligi0us body in China upon that subject
since the act was declared constitutional
The document proceeds: "The synod Of
China, representing Immediately five pres
byteries, with nearly g., 900 native Christians
scattered from Peking GO Canton, and in
directly the whole Christian church in
China, desires to record its dissatisfaction
with the act Of congress in regard to the
Chinese in America.
'If the American people desired to re-
strict immigration of the Chinese we be-
lieve they could have readily effected their
purpose by diplomatic negotiations and
mutual concessions, without disturbing
or endangering the harmonious relations
which for many years existed, and should
ever exiSt, between the United States and
China.
Now, as the result of this unhappy
legislation, we have grave reasons to fear,
not only that the Chinese in America may
be embttered against the religion of the
land, but that missionaries will be greatly
embarrassed in the propagation of their
faith in China We, therefore, ask the
Christian people of America, of our own
and all other churches that our voice may
reach, to exert themselves to reverse i'll
considered and unfrendly legislation.
