The Financial world

New York Times.
A bull turn on the short interest Of an
oversold market made a brief rally in
prices the first part of the week and the
sales to realize which were conspicu-
ously apparent on Friday. brought prices
down again, and the market TO weak
and ragged close Saturday The oppor.
tunity for the turn was given by Presi-
dent Cleveland's statement. IL was pub
lished Monday morning, but hints that
something of the kind was coming had
been received before. Had the operators
who bought stocks on this information
found much support, they upquestion-
ably would have continued the move
ment. Just as unquestionably they
found that when the shorts were filed
there were no more buyers Hence the
weak tone Of the market Friday and
Saturday Despite this, however, Il can
be said the feeling Of alarm which caused
the rush for gold two weeks ago has
quite passed away from Wall street
No one there entertained any
doubt about any issue of currency
being redeemable in gold whenever the
gold is called for That phase Of the
monetary question may therefore be
considered settled and done with, so far
as the street is concerned. The question
which remains is AS to the methods
which may be adopted TO keep the Treas
ury in condition to meet the demands
On this il is evident that the financial
community Is considerably at sea. The
large majority Of the bankers are de
cided that the logic Of the situation will
compel the issue Of bonds sooner or later.
But not all of them are Some believe
that the reserve will not be drawn down
low enough TO necessitate such an issue.

According to the New York Sun, Rev.
Dr. Dix made this very true remark 10
his lecture at St. Thomas's Church last
Sunday:
The higher criticism, undermining
though it does much Of the word of God,
may furnish platform on which illogi-
cal people may unite to day, but the next
generation Will repudlate it and take
refuge in utter disbelief
If the Bible be the book Of false pre-
tences, which Dr. Briggs aud bis school
Of critics say it is, the people are bound
to lose respect for the religious system
which rests on the Bible as its authority.
If, then, people come to critieise the Bible
as a merely human production like
all other books, what will be the place
they will give it in such literature
Where would the Bible stand relatively

as product Of the intellect, moral con
ceptions, and poetical imagination Of 10 al

The Enect Of the brain.

You may kill man with anxiety very

with work, especially if he retains the
power, which most men of intellectual
occupations more or less possess of
sleeping nearly at WILL and without
torpor. You may see some judges do il
every day, and with the most singular
suddenness, not only the intellect but
also the sense of hearing seeming to be
suspended by an act of pure volition
The man who has used his brain all his
life, say for six hours a day. has, in
fact, trained his nerve power, and placed
IL beyond the reach of early decay,
or that kind of feebleness which
makes so many apparently healthy
men succumb so readily TO attacks Of
disease. Doctors know the differences
among men in this respect quite we'll, and
many of them acknowledge that the
habit of surviving" which they find in
their best patients arises from two
causes,-one, which used to be always
pleaded, being that soundness of physi-
cal constitution which some men enjoy
by hereditary right and the other, some
recondite form of brain. power seldom
exhibited, except under strong excite

out life have been compelled to

tired Of life medicine will not save him
but, as rule. his will, consciously OF
unconsciously, compels the trained
nerve power to struggle on Whether
the brain can actually give power to the
muscles Is not certain, though the
enormous strength sometimes developed
in last rally looks very like it; but
that 1t can materially affect vitality is
quite certain, and has been acknowledged
by the experienced in all ages.

vestigatlon. The General Assembly
which is giving us smeat inspector and

into the sale Of canned goods. There
is bill in the Pennsylvania Senate
prohibiting the sale Of any canned
goods in the state which do not bear

and the date when the fruit or
veget ables were canned. 1t is urged
by those who support the bin that
it is common practice of can
neries to put fictitious names upon
inferior goods aud real names
only on choice articles. and they claim
that each cannery should be responsible
for its own work It Is also said by
these people that the Importance of the
date lies in the fact that timed vege-

chasers have a right to know the age
