FINANCIAL.
Money.

RIcHMoNp, Va, August IL. 1897.
1t is easy to make money when
all conditions point to return OF
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts
We have a conservative admin
istration. The country will be
governed in fairness to the inter-
ests of businessmen. The tariff
question is settled. The political
situation is such that nothing adj
verse can be done with the cur
rency for three years. Liquida-
ton is finished. Leading papers
in Europe recognize the deficiency
of their crops. The United States
is the only country in position
to furnish necessary supplies.
Exchange has dropped sharply.
Securities have advanced hand
somely. Reactions are natural.
healthy, and to be expected.
The market declined this week
from one to three points, but
promptly recovered, and is now
advancing.
In the great period of business
revival from 1879 to 1891, when
money was dearer, securities sold
much higher.
Strong people may combine to
sell the market down to accumu-
late cheap stocks, but the future
is bright with promise, and in our
opinion, all good securities are a
purchase.
There rarely comes an occasion
so favorable for the making of
money.
Write to us for facts and figures.
Very truly yours,

had Story Telling.

If Oscar Wilde's assumption were to
be taken seriously, that all fiction is ly-
ing, it might account for much that
afflicts readers, since the lack Of morale
affects the intellect, and what is done
without conscience is apt to be done
badly. Of course all fiction is not lying,
as all killing is not murder, but it is
sad fact that many writers Of novels
and short stories seem to have left their
consciences and much of their brains
behind when they go forth to work-as
if these belongings might safely remain
in seclusion, with the dress coat and
the white tie, to be brought out only
for especial occasions. Artemus Ward
once remarked that he had a giant mind,
but did not have it with him, and that
(or the latter half of it) is apt to be the
case with any of us when we are care
less. True, even good Homer sometimes
nodded, but this affords no example for
us who are not Homers. To come to our
tasks otherwise than with all our wits
about us and invite public attention to
the chance "oozings of our brains" Is
as if one should issue from his apart
ments unshorn and half clad or enter
upon the busy haunts of men without
money in his pocket. Frederic M. Birc

Coffee and Its Uses.

When there are in community cpl
denies of typhoid fever cholera, cry
sipelas, scarlet fever and the various
types Of malarial fever, which are trans
mitted almost entirely through the me-
dium Of food and drink, coffee is valu-
able agent and may be used as drink
instead Of water.
It is valuable agent in assisting in
the digestion of food and aids the blood
in taking up more nourishment than it
would without it.
1t quickens the circulation of the
blood and respiration.
1t is also stimulating and refreshing
(due to the caffeine it contains).
In tiding over nervousness in emer-
gencies it is u sovereign remedy
As stimulant and caioric generator
