Recent discoveries have dcnOnSt rated that
all the organs OF the body are under the con.
troll OF the nerve ccntcrS, located in or near
the base OF the brain. and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve iiuid are also deranged. When ii is re-
memberpd that Il serious injury Ia the spinal
cord will cause paraly Sis of the body below

! A Head for Finance.

"A young husband, says the New
York Tribune. finding that his pretty
but extravagant wife was considerably
exceeding their income, brought her
home one evening 4 neat little account
book, nicely bound and looking very at
tractive. This he presented to her. to-
gether with one hundred dollars.
"Now, my dear" he said, Il want you
to put down what l give you on this
side. and on the other write down the
way it goes, and in q fortnight | will
give You another supply" A couple Of
weeks later he asked for the book.
"Oh, have kept the account all right"
said his wife, producing the little leath-
er volume; ''see. here it is" and on one
page was inscribed: Received from
Algy, one hundred dollars" and on the
, one opposite, the comprehensive little
summary: Spent it all"
Pneumatic Tires.
Most people imagine that pneumatic
tires are novelties OF recent invention
and yet they were actually used on
English roads nearly 80 years ago.
We read that "at the Bath and west
of England agricultural show, held at
Guilford, couple of carriage wheels
were shown fitted with pneumatic
tires. These were made by May Il
Jacobs for the Duke of Northumber-
land II years ago, but the carriage
proving too heavy for the horse they
were disused. The tires were con-
structed on almost exactly the same
principle as those in use on cycles to-
day--an inner air chamber, with a
stronger outer cover. When pune
tured, they were repaired by the same
means as now adopted"

The Rattlesnake's Alarm.

The rattlesnake's rattle is like the
sound which would be produced by the
rafting Of q number Of peas in paper
bag. This represents the slightness of
the sound. We are accustomed to pic
torial representations in which the rep
tile is made to look very angry and en-
ergetic, the tail erect in a manner to
suggest a loud alarm. Accordingly,
when one hears it for the first time one
is surprised to find the noise so slight.
The sound, instead of being a rattle, is
rather tinkle, and perhaps it has a
rather more metallic character than the
notion of the shaking of peas in o paper
bag would represent. But, slight as
the sound is, the person who has never
met one Of these reptiles before and
who, without seeing the snake, hears
for the first time among mountain rocks
or prairie grass its delicate yet wonder
fully distinct warning, knows instantly
who and what his ncighbor is.

Five new bales Of cotton arrived at LaGrange, New Orleans ad- M vanced to points, but lost this and de-
 Port receipts were 2S2 bales. against POT bales this day last week and 243 bales this
 Spot cotton here was steady and un- changed with sales of 2i2 bales for spinning;
 Houston received 155 bales. against AZ bales this day last week and 752 bales this day last year.
 The southern spot markets were generally quiet but firm.
 Liverpool closed feyerish. Some cotton goods advanced Ac today.
 The aggregate amount of dividends de clared for the quarter just ended by the Fall River mills was ,S75. These disburse- ments are made on an entire capital invest ment of $210 900, the average return being 2.54 per cent.
 Todays features: The decline today was not at all surprising, in view. of the rapid and very marked advance within the last ten days. The heavy realizing was not at all surprising and the decline was not great, etc. Liverpool behaved handsomely in the main and there was, considerabie puylng both for Liverpool and continental account, while the old bull clique in New Orleans It is stated, was again buying, and there was also, considerable covering or shorts py ;,

Europe, New York and the south sold to realize profits, and stop orders were caught on the way down. Some crop news from Georgia and Alabama was favorable, but on the other hand bad reports, being received from private tinues active. Spot quotations were still rising in this country and the cotton goods many makes having advanced considerably within the last two weeks on an increasing demand.

Chicago Change.

Chicago Aug. 13-A recovery of a DOT ton of yesterdays loss in wheat values was made today, not because the trade had been converted to bullish view of the situation, but rather through persistent covering of previous sales by others. At the start and during a part of the first half hour it look ed as though there would be a repitition of the declining movement, but gradual firm ness came into the market and as no de- cided attempt was made to force prices low CT they appreciated steadily. September wheat opened from 65l4 to 65isc. advanced 10 67c, closed at 66s4M667sc, 1G11sc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat in the sample car load was firm and 1c per bushel higher.
 Corn displayed a recuperative tendency today. The Indiana state report was not sa favorable as was expected and reports of hot winds in other portions of the corn belt were in circulation. These items of infor- mation doubtless conveyed strength to prices, but the action of wheat 'shorts," who was covering their contracts was a fac tor of greater importance. The market opened weak, but subsequently, improved and at the close a good recovery had been achieved. September corn opened at 361sc sold between 36 and 3s14c, closing a 3Sc, 1lac higher than yesterday. Cash corn was steady. prices averaging about the same as yesterday.
 Oats-The course of prices in oats was identical with that of other grains whilst the range was not as great. Prices of oats per ton weight are now running about the same as those of hay. with. perhaps, some advantage in favor of the latter. This fac'

New York, Aug. 13.-The stock market was dull with professionals again today. The eyer, l5S5S9 shares changing hands, of which 2i,700 were Reading, 20,500 Distilling and Cattle Feeding and Il, 400 Burlington and Quincy. As a rule the active issues were weak in the early trading, the talk about gold exports and moderate sales on foreign account having led to a decline of s to F per cent, all along the line.
 Toward Il o'clock Distilling and Cattle Feeding moved to the front and on good cent. The rise was due to the decision just rendered by the courts, which will prevent ganization committee in their work of re- habilitating the property. The judicial sale takes place in Chicago tomorrow. American Tobacco was rather weak on the announce- ment of the reorganization of rival ciga- rette concern at St. Louis. The stock de- cined ll4 to 1l14q1l19l. Missouri Pacific was but quickly recovered.

 The anthracite coalers were strengthened by the revival of the old reports that the efforts were being made by the leading bankers to,settle the trade difficulties. The reports as usual could not be confirmed. but the impression is that the condition of the coal trade is so bad that a change must necessarily follow. The largest buyers of the grangers were firms supposed to be act Ing in the interest of insiders. Other par ticularly firm stocks were Erie Telephone, Manhattan and Susquehanna and Western preferred.

An enormous corn crop Is now lulIy assured, and is sufficient to make them very tenacious The street has after all very lew stocks, and the people who do hold them are too strong to be forced to let go on any petty, drop or sagging off of quotatlohs.
