STOCKS DULL AND LOWER.
Gold Shipment and Trust Investi-

Sugar Weak on Rumors Of Adverse
Lcgislation.

The fact that prices from London
came lower and the engagement OF
$1,000. 600 gold for shipment to Europe
tomorrow. but more particularly the
continued liquidation in Sugar, led to a
depressed feeling In local stock circles
this morning.
Sugar dropped 1-2 to 100 1.2. and was
fairly active. Small holders fear that
the Senate investigation Will hurt the
causeof the Trust in the House, and
may result in giving the monopoly less
projection than is deslred.
The reduction In the quarterly divi-
Haven from 12 to 2 per cent. also had
tendency to weaken the list.

Diabolicai Intelligence.

According to my observation, the
elephant is intelligent in u diabolical
way at times, but rarely ever up to the
mark when its intelligence would be
useful. So with its docility. That
quality is prominent, no doubt, when
the exhibition of it is convenient to the
elephant. but one often looks for it in
vain when it is needed for the conven-
fence OF any other living creature.
Then the elephant is areyengeful beast.
1t is treacherous often, and, with few
exceptions, an alrant coward.
How very uncertain the docility Of,
an elephant may be, and how revenge
may be, substituted for that quality, was
illustrated by IN event that is fresh in
my mind. A mahout tried to drive his
elephant into the center of a newly ex-
cayated tank. The elephant found out
with its trunk that a hole of some depth
was just before it and would not move.
The mahout persisted and urged the
recalcitrant elephant with the iron
goal (the gujbag) and, after a shors
conflict, the elephant seized the mahout
with its trunk, dragged him off his seat
on its neck and placing him below its
forefeet trampled the life out of him.
This animal had some reason for be-
ing annoyed by its driver but there is
nothing toiNesaidr in ex%tenuation of an
other elephant that, aproposo of nothing,
tossed me with its tusk. l was feeding
that brute in the eventide, when the

with others, had to be tended and en-
c%ouraged. was feeding it with del;-,
cacies dear to the e%lephantine palate
and, without rhyme or reason, that do
cile and intelligent creature butted me
into the air, no doubt with a benevolent
intention of impaling me that was frus-
trated by my offering no resistance to
the tusk and by the bluntness of that

No Politics In Herr.

I speak from experience when I say
that don't see how women can cult
vate home life and enter the political
arena. Circumstances forced me to 60
out into the world to earn my own
bread and part of that of others. When
my mother was living she made the
home, and all went well. But after
that, after marriages and deaths, a FAM

the place of my sister, their mother. To
do my duty by them and my work was
the most difficult task l ever undertook.

Sometimes the plan worked we'll, but

ings to attend and candidates to elect,
perhaps to be elected MYSELF What
would have been the result? Even
direr disaster! We can not worship
God and Mammon; neither can we be
politicians and women. 1t is against
nature, against reason. Give woman
everything she,wants, but not the bal.
lot. Open every field Of learning every
avenue of industry to,her, but keep her
out of politics. The ballot can not help
her, but it can hurt her. She thinks il

MOI CHEERING.
Eject of Modern Rifle Bullets on the nu-
man Isody.


BERLIN, Sept. 1.-THE celebrated
Psychologist, Prof. du Bois-Reymond,
has just published some important OBJ.
%servations on the effect of modern rifle
bullets on the human body. From
this interesting paper the following
extracts are made:
"The bullet from an old rife" saws
the writer, ''borcd but a comparatively
small hole through the parts of the
body through which it passed, whereas
the new bullet has IN astonishing ex'
plosive effect. If, for instance, the
ball passes through the head of a
corpse, the skull is burst asunder in all
directions, and very little of the head
remains. We cannot precisely define the
conditions of the aggregation of n
body. A piece of bottle lac or sealing
wax, if long exposed to uniform pres.
sure, ~dissolves, but it bursts into shnrr
edged splinters if the blow Of u ham.
mer produces on it nm effect which,
measured in kilogram meters. is equal
to perhaps but Il small fraction Of the
pressure when slowly exercised. We
can, therefore, recognize the conditions
of aggregation only by the conse.
quences of mechanical operations on
such bodies. and these consequence.
nre quite different, though the opera.
tions do not differ at all in quality, bul
only in duration. Sealing wax is an
example of IN apparently solid body,
but which turns out to be a fluid ii
