Regarding the embarrassment Of the
finances OF Spain. the London Statist
says: THE financial embarrassments
Of Spain are naturally Weighing heav-
lily upon the Paris Bourse. It Ia COM
monty estimated that French investors
hold together about $780, 200, 900
worth Of Spanish securities. II. there
fore. there were to be an utter break
down in Spain the losses to France
would be very heavy. 1t Is to be reeol-
lected that France has suffered much
during the past two years from the
collapse OF the African boom, from
the crash In the East at the time OF
the Armenian massacres from the fall
in Spanish that has been going on so
long. and II there were to be another
breakdown the losses would be enor-
NOUS. The condition Of Spain ex.
plains much Of the extreme quistnesa
ct present In the European stock mar

IN Paris and the unwillingness to en-

When DR.. Atchison of Illinois re-
marked, in the Methodist church con-
sress at Pittsburg. a few days ago,
that sacred song in certain branches
OF his church had degenerated into a
caricature, he spoke truth which has
unfortunately been self-evident for sew
eral years. The trouble is that this
Sunday school music is machine made.
1t is ground out to meet a demand.
There are some exceptions, of course.
but these are few. too few. They are
