The London Markets

LONDON, Sept. 6.-The partial ces-
sation of the demand for bullion for
America has made the rates for money
easier. More gold will, however, be
wanted for Austria and for the coming
Chinese loan, so that rates are likely
to remain steady Business on the
stock exchange was on small scale,
but the feeling is more cheerful. The
only thing now preventing a brisker
rise in Americans is the rate cutting
war in the south. Still the weeks ad-
vance ranged from two to five points.

The "Blues."

Have you ever been blue? Have You
ever experienced tho time when the whole
world seemed dark, when you felt that
there was not friend left to you, when
you cogitated on all sorts of desperate deeds
and foolish acts, when you scowlcd upon
the world, considering that it had used
you unfairly? Havo you raused upon
crowded street corners in doubt which
way to turn because every route seemed
equally unfortunate? Have you grown
jealous, norose i'll tempered, unkind9
These are symptoms of blues, nnd for the
disease there is only one remedy-work!
If nobody will give you work, make It,
If you are man, chop wood. clean your
bicycle, cut the grass in your front yard,
clean out the cellar, movc the furniture
around your room, or run mile along
the street. If you are u woman, mako over
last years hat or dress, find new recipe
for cakc and try 1t. Search through your
husbands clothing for mcnding to DOLL
be bound you'll find it-movc the furni-
ture out of tho parlor and sweep it your
self. Do something TINT Is work, not Il
play at work. Do something thai you
don't want to do, and when it's donc the
blues will have fed.

FOREIGN TRADE
England Remodeiing Her Consular Service
After the Amer can Sxstem


WASHINGTON, Sept. 6--Thomas Ew-
ing Moore. United States commercial agent
at Weimar. has called the attention of the
department of state to the fact that he
British government has taken steps to sup
plement its consular service for the ap-
pontment of commercial attaches. So far
two of these attaches have been appointed,
one at Berlin, whose field comprises Ger
many. Netherlands and Scandinavia. and
one at Madrid for Spain and Portugal. The
duties of these officials are to relieve the
consuls of the work of Introducing British
goods into foreign markets and the begin
ming of this service noted with alarm by
Englands greatest trade competitor, Ger
many where the press has begun already
an agitation looking to the reform Of the
German consular service to meet Eng
lands action, involving a special education
and preparation of young men for con-
sular careers. 1t is demanded that the
consular officers be men commercially AMI
technically trained or else that they be
supplied with especially trained assistants.
Mr.. Moore, attributes this agitation in
Great Britain and Germany for the remod-
cling of the consular service to perception
of the excellent results attending the de-
velopment by the United States of sys-
tenn of special consular reports upon mat
ters calculated to benefit American pro-
ducerS and merchants.

The following telegram was ordered
sent to r. E. Bush, state secretary OF
the Peoples party:
ANY telegram purporting to come

E. Fisk president of the Council of La
bor, to the San Francisco conference,

by a committee of three, Livingood,

No Boiled Fowl.

"All right, says Fills. You are In

here. Just cone in and wait few min

cites, while Fills proceeded with his paint
ing. 1 may add that the golden haired
model was perched upon a throne, and a
moro saucy hussy never did see. After
putting away at my pipe for at least 90
minutes, feeling deucedly hungry, 1
groaned. This sound had tho effect of re-
minding Fills that was present, He ex-
claimed in dreamy voice, The fowl must
be boiled by this time and coming for
ward he lifted tho lid of the pot and peered
inside.
" 1t is very odd, ho remarked, but

said no to tho model, who descended from

THE VATICAN MUSEUM. s-
One Can There Sec Rome 1t Its Best anA
at Its Worst.

The walk through the museum Is Ger
tainly one of the most wonderful in the
world. There are more masterpieces per-
haps in Florence; possibly objects of great
or value may be accumulated in the Brit
ish museum, though thatis doubtful. But
nowhere in the world are statues and an
tiquities so we'll arranged as in the Vati-
can, and perhaps the orderly beauty Of ar
rangement has as much to do as anything
else with the charm that pervades tho
whole. One is brought into direct commu-
nication with Rome at its best, brilliant
with the last reflections of Hellenic light,
and again ono is brought into contact with
Rome at its worst, and beyond its worst
in its decay and destruction. Amid the
ruin, too there is the visible sign Of new
growth in the beginning of Christianity,
from which a new power, new history,
a new literature and new art were to
spring up and blossom, and in the rude
sculpture of the Shepherd, the Lamb and
the Fishes lies the origin Of Michael An
gelo's Moses and Pieta.
There, too, one may read as in boaA
the whole history Of death in Rome, grav-
en- In the long lines of ancient inscrip>
tions, the talc Of death when there was no
hope and its story when hope had begun
in the belief In the resurrection of the
dead. There the sadness of the sorrowing
Roman contrasts with the gentle hopeful
ness of the bereavod Christian, and the
sentiment and sentimentality of mankind
during the greatest of the world g develop
ments arc told in the very words which
men and women dictated to the stonecut-
ter. To those who can read tho Inscriptions
the impression of direct communication
with antiquity is very strong. For those
who cannot there is still a special charm
in the long succession of corridors, in the
occasional glimpses Of the gardens, in the
cool Inagnifcence of the decorations as
we'll as in the statues and fragments which
line the endless straight walls.
One returns at last to the halls, ono lin
gers here and there to look again at some-
thing one has liked, and in the end one
goes out, remembering the place rather
than the objects it contains and desiring to
return again for the sake Of the whole SEN
sation one las had rather than for any de-
fined purpose.-F. Marion Crawford in
Century.

FOOLHARDY SAILORS
An Attempt to Roand the Horn In Cookie

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 6.-Charles Jen-
sen and Charles Klein, two of the hardest
sailors that the Scandinavian peninsula
ever produced are preparing to atxmpt
the daring feat of sailing around Cape
Horn, from San Francisco to New York,
in the smallest craft that ever attempted
the passage. The vessel in which the trip
Is to be made is a sloop. She has a length
of thirty feet over all, a water line of twen-
ty-three feet and beam nine feet. six inch-
es; draft three feet and a depth of five feet
from the cabin roof, and her rail is six
inches high. She carries a mainsail and
two jibs.
The trip for which Jensen and Klein are
preparing is about 5000 miles. They will
keep the regular sailing course to make
time, and will stop only at Valparaiso on
this side and the Falkland islands on the
other. They will not take the Straits of
Magellan but will actually round the Horn
and take chances with the dangers of the
trip. They expect to start not latter than
October 15, and as much earlier as possible.
