these concerns have already gone out Of

The tickers have been removed from BOTH
of the above concerns, ana nothing re-
mains today except The blackboari5 and
other shops still open are almost deserted
by their habitues who are AFRAID to risk
a raid from the police which IS liable TO
occur at any hour. 1t is stated that sew
eral of the smaller concerns win close their
doors at the end of the month.
Matters about the discretionary pools
are very quiet today and no business IS be-
ing transacted. There are many sensation

Contentment the Only Specific.

Anewspaper reporter the other day
asked George G. Shrady, the great
American surgeon and physician, the
question, What manner of life do
you think most favorable to health 2
His reply was:
A moderate life. Take plenty of
sleep. Take plenty to eat. Take plen-
ty of exercise. We need more walk
ing philosophers in this world. Keep
a coptented mind. Remember that
the man who wants little is always
rich, and the man who has much
isn't, always. Sometimes a man
owns a house, but sometimes the
house owns the man. 1t is better for
the man to own the house and bear
in mind that Il very big man can live
IN a very little house. Ineed not say
that little men often live in big
houses. This life can only give man
at best one thing-contentment.

Carrying the Banner.

The custom OF carrying flags or
standards in battle dates back at
least to 1890 B. c. We find in Num-
bers ii, 2, that Every man of the
children of Israel shall pitch by his
own standard with the ensign of his
fathers house." Each standard of
the II tribes thus distinguished was
supposed to have been of a color to
correspond with the stone in Aaron's
breastplate which bore the name of
that tribe. Under the generic name
banner are included many species,
such as standard, ensign, pennon,
flag, etc. These have been used from
earliest times and in all countries to
direct movements of troops.
The earliest Roman standard was
a bundle of straw fixed to the top of
spear. This was succeeded by fig
ures of animals, such as the horse
and the boar, which soon gave place
to the eagle, the chief Roman en-
sign, afterward assumed by the Ger
man and French emperors. BY every
warhke people the banner has been
regarded as an emblem of national
honor, in defense of which each sol
der was at all times ready to die,
while banners and flags taken from
the enemy have always been special
trophies of victory to which places
of honor in public buildings have
been assigned,-Brooklyn Eagle.

Al instance of the use of pho.
Biography in important legal matters
is given in what is known as the
famous Stubblefeld. Muntord con.
troversy. 1t involved the owner
ship of 1900 acres of valuable land
in Fayette county, Ohio. During
Monroe's administration this tract
was will9d by one of the old Nuns
lords to his five heirs, and the pres
ent suit was brought on the deed of
sale signed by them. The Muntord
heirs decided the land to Stubble-
1leld, who afterward sold parts of it
70 different parties, who had to pay
twice for their land. The deed OF
sale, discolored and yellow with age,
showed only four signatures and a
space tor fifth, and the closest
scrutiny could not discover the fifth.
On this signature turned the ques-
lion at issue. TWAS finally decided
to photograph the signatures and
see II the course could disclose the
fifth name. This was done under
the direction OF the court by pho
tographic expert named Spencer,
and under the closest watch of the
clerk of the court, who could not
allow the original to leave his hands.
On the plate he saw straces of the
signature, and, on charging the
negative ten times, the entire name
was as plainly seen as when written

On the Possibilities of sequeIs.

Balzac had q characteristic idea of
writing a sequel to Moliere's Tar
tuffe, " in order to show how dull the
household was after the expulsion of
the hypocrite. Moliere himself was
not given to sequels, and it is surely no
wonder that he left ''Tartuffe" alone,
seeing what storm the play reused
against him in the religious world.
Moliere, however, should have been
used to storms.
There had been no small ado after
the performance of "L,Ecole des
Femmes. To that play Moliere did
write kind of sequel. He made
privately among his friends such
dramatic fun of his critics that the
Able Dubuisson suggested that he
might make play of them. And he
did. He put his critics on the boards,
and La Critique de PEcole DIES
Femmes" ran merrily at the Palais
Royal theater for 81 nights. A man
named Boursault replied with lie
Portrait drPaintre.
Moliere, at the personal suggestion
of Louis XIV, rejoined with Lin
promptu de Versailles" Not even
the interposition of the king put an
end to the quarrel, for a certain De
Villiers still returned to the attack
with LA Vengeance DIES Marquis. ="
1t was veritable war of sequels. 1t
is perhaps the pleasantest thing that
one knows about the grand monarch
that, as a boy, he had his ears boxed
by Mazarin for reading Scarron's
novels on the sly, and that in his ma
turity he was so good a friend to

The MARTA; relations of William
Newcomb, OF Stafford Springs, Conn,
are rather unusual. In the first
place he married Miss Moody, by
whom he had one child, and from
whom he was afterward divorced.
He then married Miss Moody's
mother. He has since had a boy
by his second wife, and an expert
will have to be found to straightcn
out the family relationship. Mrs.
Newcomb No. | is half sister to her
husbands child and is also Step
daughter to her former husband.
Mrs. Newcomb No ? is step-mother
to her grand daughter. The first
child is a grand child of its step>

The second child is uncle to his half

1t is considered remarkable that
the jewelry found recently in an OK,
cavation near one of the pyramids
of old Memphis, Egypt, exhibits
about as much skill in working gold
and precious stones as now exists,
though the articles found were made
1890 years ago. The figures cut on
nmethysist and cornelian are de-
scribed as exquisite and anatomical
ly correct. The gold is skilIfully
worked, and precious stones are let
into it so as to give the effect of
enameling. Egypt has, evidently,
forgotten more than it now knows.
