THE MONETARY TRUST,
20 Broad Street, New York.

This corporation has transferred all its onices for
execution OF orders to the firm OF Carley. Stokes &
Co., of which Mr.. Charles Stokes is the New York
Stock Exchange member. Mr.. stokes has been an
active member of the Exchange except for q few
months intervaD for moro than a quarter Of q
century. and is an expert in market machinery
and the forces which move It. We made this
important change, because experience has given
us the conviction that those who trade
upon market fluctuations will be best served
in this manner. Cariey. Stokes a Co. come to the
front as specialists In speculative Investments, and
will do conspicuous work in the realm OF speculation.
Between speculation as thus represented by this nrm.
on the one hand, and those approved Investments,
which are known to all investors, and which yield
but four or Ave per cent. on tho other hand. there Ia
a vast and worthy neld. wherein lie the future opera
lions OF The Monetary Trust. .

Northern PACIFIC Dividends.

r V. Smalley in Chicago Tribune.
The building of the Northern Pacific was
coincident with the development of our en-
tire northern belt of territory, extending
from Lake Superior to the Pacific ocean.
When the road was started. in 1870. there
were probably not 10000 people living in the
country it was to traverse. Now there are
500OO0 in northern Minnesota, nearly 3Do.-
600 in North Dakota, 2ooooo in Montana,
10000 in Idaho, 100000 in Washington
and 100000 in Oregon. All this enormous
settlement of a recent wilderness can ba
credited to the building of the Mort bern
Pacific. The road has thus been a very
great factor in national growth. The IL ,g5
men and women who originally subscribed
for its first bonds at the instance of jay
Cooke have never received any dividend
for their Investment. They have waited a
long Time, but as holders of the new pre-
ferred stock they may expect to get a
dividend next year. The road is now well
managed and has plenty of business to
DO, and ought soon to make a profit over
its fixed charges.

From the Lo2don Telegraph.
Education is playing sad havoc with the
teeth of modern generations. So an ex-
perienced dentist in the West End says,
and he ought to know. Formerly decayed
teeth were generally attributed to a secret
fondness for bor-bCns, but the idea is, IL
appears, quite a mistake. In fact, sugar
is rather nourishing than otherwise. The
truth is that the ancient sturdy, square
jaw of the English race is changing
through lessons and book learning to an
angular or V shape. which presses the
molars one upon the other. does not give
them room to grow, and will. in time, pre-
vent some of them from cutting at all.
Indeed, athis catastrophe is not infrequent
already. In many cases the original teeth
are becoming less in number than they
ought to be, and often the "wisdomers''
fail to appear. This in an educated law
is lamentable. The new facial form is ac-
cording to the der list, much cultivated by
ladies' who find that IL is popular among
gentlemen. The latter like women with the
educated" angle of chin, which generally
carries with it pearly but very frail teeth
If the specialist be right, this process of
selection aided by further lessons and more
study, WILL in the course of time, produce
a race wRhou; any teeth at all. Then will
the dentists make fortunes, for people will
require complete artificial sets from baby
hood onward.
