CLOSING PRICES OF CHICAGO STOCKS.
Tuesday. July Up. m.


Democracvs free silver Convention at Chicago
was watched with more interest to-day than the
stock market. the result being a dull days trad

closing in the majority Of active shares, but a
subsequent rally caused a recovery which gave
net gains In the first two hours of trading OF

the only business done for the foreign account
was a small selling movement. the stocX thuS
brought being we'll absorbed, however. London
operators as well as the local element, were
intent upon watching the disruption OF the
Democratic party at Chicago. but 1t Is not likely
that foreign sentiment will be affected seriously
by the free-silver programme and probable
platform of the Democrats. There has been
legitimate foreign interest In the security mar
ket for the last two weeks, and reports from
houses with European connections indicate
continuance Of the demand Foreigners regret
the free-siiver noise, just as intelligent people
here do, but they are apparently as hrmly con-
vinced as level-headed Americans are that tne
gold-standard forces Will win by handsome anu
overwhelming majorities In the fall.
The condition of the foreign exchange market
is one Of ease and the tendency is toward lower

it is Interesting to note that the last statement

Japan Up to Date.

Japan Is going ahead. Its first big
swindle Is really a very creditable piece
OF roguery for such young nation. Mr..
Hamano, the member of the diet and
pastor of the Greek church at Tokyo,
who is also president of the Japan Cast
Iron company, belongs to politico-re-
hgious type already familiar in the older
haunts Of commercial morality. The
municipality Of Tokyo had decided to
undertake waterworks system, and had
obtained subsidy from the government
of 5000, 900 yen in aid of the total es-
innate Of so, 100000. In patriotic mo-
ment some of this outlay of Japanese
money on water pipes was kept for the
Japan Cast Iron company, but the result
has only been TO artifcially foster for
eign rather than home industries.
By q most ingenious device about 800
tons Of defective pipes were laid after
they had been rejected by the clerk of
the works, and the Tokyo citizens, il is
estimated. thereby suffer loss of about
1000. 900 yen.
The officials Of the company are now
awaiting trial-which apparently does
not prevent the newspapers in. Japan
from assuming their guilt. st. James

Inser.stinw washing.

An amusing little story is told in con-
nection with French journalist, who
in his early days as reporter had a
deeply rooted aversion to the regulation
notebook OF his order. and hit upon a
method of taking notes which afforded
him great satisfaction.
He wore large white linen cuffs, and
upon them. by the aid Of tiny pencil.
he took down his notes and impressions
in all sorts of places, unobserved by
those around him.
At first his laundress was greatly puz-
zled by these peculiar ornamentations,
but as time went on she learned to de-
cipher many Of them. and gathered the
news Of the week from her patrons
cuffs, much to her delight.
One night, when she took home the
washing, the journalist CHANGED to be
coming out of his room as she entered.
"Ah, monsieur, she said, dropping q
courtesy. "your last washing was very
interesting, but we had less political
news than the week before. Is itno sof"

TAKE CARE OF THE CHEST.
And the Rest of the BODY WIN Take Car
of Itself


"Take care Of Your chest, says a
physical culture teacher, land the rest
Of your body will take care of itself.
The chest is the chief thing to be remem-
bered. Keep it we'll raised aud your head,
spine and shoulders will involuntarily
assume their proper positions without
any effort ON your part. The cry from
parents and teachers used to be, Throw
your shoulders back 7 But this mistaken
notion is now completely exploded. The
shoulders have nothing to do with cor
rect posture. It is all the chest, and its
elevation or depression will regulate the
rest of the body. The chest is the seat
OF all things spiritual, elevated and en-
nobling. Bring II into prominence and
you bring into prominence the best
qualities of yonr nature.
1T has been said that Whatever psy-
Geological attribute is most marked in
a human being is correspondingly most
marked III his physical being. If he's a
glutton, his stomach is most in evil
dence; if scholar CT brain worker, his
head is sure to be th,ust we'll forward
but IL he preserves proper intellectual
balance he walks with his chest in adj
vance Of the rest Of his body.
ut is curious, too, how one may
really influence his own mental condi-
tion in this way. Just try and see how
impossible 1t is to say, oh. how happy
/ ami with sunken chest and spent
breath. One involuntarily lifts his chest
and takes good long breath when he
says anything optimistic and brave, for
IL he doesn't he might just as well say
Have mercy ON us miserable sinners.
The effect is the same. There is no surer
cure for the blues or like maladies
than merely lifting the chest and taking
a good. long breath. 1t scares away all
the bugaboos of pessimism. New York

HIS VIGILANCE REWARDED.

The Story Of . Man Who was Prepared
For Footpads.
There is a man in Buena Park who
has always been afraid Of being robbed
by footpads. A few weeks ago he decided
that he would prepare himself to defend
his property and person If attacked. So
he purchased revolver--not an ordi.
nary revolver, but a long barreled one,
the sort the cowboys carry out west.
For several nights he carried the gun,
and the assurance with which he walked
no doubt frightened the footpads, for
they left him unmolested. He was
pleased with the sense Of security he felt
from the humping Of this weapon
against his log, and his fears were quiet
cd until one night not long ago.
The sidewalks were slippery. and be
was picking his way along toward his
home, when man bumped against him.
The offender was profuse in his apollo
gies as he struggled to regain his foot
hold.
1T was purely accidental. assure
You. sir, ;" said he. Certainly, certain

A moment later he felt for his watch,
1t was gone. Then he felt for his gun
it was safe, and its size and weight gave
him courage. He turned and started on
the run in the direction the man had
taken. and before he had gone block
overlook him. He grabbed him by the
collar with his left hand, and, sticking
the pistol in his face, commanded him
to give up the watch.
"All right, all right; don't shoot, ;"
said the trembling man. as he handed
out watch, and, breaking away, ran
down the street as fast as his legs would
carry him.
''I'll teach you footpads thing or
two" shouted the Buena Park man, but
there was no response, and putting the
watch in his pocket he started toward
home. At each step be grew more and
more indignant at the state of society
that permitted such criminals as pick
pockets and footpads, and when be
reached home he was very angry.

A SICK SAVAGE.

Robert Louis Stevenson Tells OF the Delu-
sions of One of His Servants.
Poor Misi Folo--you remember the
thin boy. do you not?-had desperate
attack Of influenza, and he was in q
great taking. You would not like to be
very sick i'll some savage place in the
islands and have only the savages to
doctor you? Well, that was Just the
way he felt ''It is all very well, he
thought. "to let these childish white
people doctor sore foot or toothache,
but this is serious---I might die of thisl
For goodness sake, let me get away in
to drafty native house where can lie
in cold gravel. eat green bananas and
have real grown up, tattooed man to
raise spirits and say charms over me-"
A day or two we kept him quiet and
got him much better. Then he said he
must go. He had had his back broken
in his own island, he said. 1t had come
broken again, and he must 60 away to
native house and have it mended. "Con-
found your back, said we. Lille down
in your bed |" At last one day his fever
was quite gone, and he could give his
mind to the broken back entirely. He
lay in the hall ! was in the room
alone. All morning and noon ! heard
him roaring like bull calf, SO that the
floor shook with it. 1t was plainly hum
bug. 1t had the humbugging sound Of
bad child crying, and about 2 Of the
afternoon we were worn out and told him
he might go. Off he set. Hewas in some
kind Of white wrapping. with great
white turban ON his head, as pale as
clay, and walked leaning ON stick.
But. oh, he was glad boy to get away
from these foolish, savage, childish
white people and get his broken back
put right by somebody with some sense.
He nearly died that night. and little
wonder. but he has now got better
again, and long may it lastl
All the others were quite good, trust
ed us wholly. and staid to be cured
where they were. But then he was quite
right il you look at it from his point Of
view. for. though we may be very clev-
er, we do not set up to cure broken backs.
If man has his back broken, we white
people can do nothing at all but bury
him. And was he not wise, since that
was his complaint, to go TO folks who
could do more?--Robert Louis Steven
