Trusts are being financed in Wall
street at the rate of about twenty
week. Nearly every article of food.
clothing and luxury has been placed
under the control of these gigantic in
dustrial combinations since May ], yet
new ones continue to spring up every
day. The street is flooded with the
common stock of these greatly over
capitalized corporations. Much of this
stock is worthless.
The same scheme has been followed
in the organization Of every one OF
them. The plants and good will of the
minor companies are bought at extrav-
agant prices 10y the issue of Z per cent.
cumulative stock, and an enormous
amount of common stock, ON which the
promoters do net expect to pay dlyi-
dends, is distributed among the insid-
ers as bonus. They in turn unload
it in Wall street, whence it is turned over
TO the public, which. despite all warn
ings, is swallowing it voraciously.
Stock Exchange houses are now de-
Ginning to buy the industrial stocks for
their customers on margin because
their banks refuse to lend money on
them as collateral and the brokers are
unwilling to tie their own money up in
them.

Disease fastened its clutches upon her

undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed incess-
antly, and could not sleep. She finally
discovered a way to recovery, by pur-

much relieved on taking first dose that
she slept all night; and with two bottles

Louisa Alcott,s Freak,

Running away" was one Of the
chief pleasures Of the noted authoress,
Louisa M. Alcott, when she was a
youngster, and brought the little Gull
prit many strange experiences. Once
she passed the day with some Irish
children, who generously shared their
cold potatoes, salt fish and crusts
with her as they reveled in the ash
heaps on some waste ground. When
dusk set in the little adventures was
deserted by her friends to sit forlorn-
ly on doorstep, feeling that home
was, after all, very nice place, if
she could only find it. A big dog al
lowed her to pillow her tired head on
his back and have nap, from which
she was awakened by the town crier,
whom her parents had sent in search
Of her. His bell and the description
Of the loss of "a little girl, six years
old. in pink frock, white hat and new
green Shoes" woke up the truant, and
small voice out of the darkness an
swered: why OATS mel" She was
carried to the crier's house, and Toasted
sumptuously on bread and molasses
while her parents were fetched, but
the fun ended next day when she was
tied to the arm of the sofa and left to
repent at leisure.

To Make a Cat Respect a Bird.

To Make q Cat Respect Bird.
Very few people who keep birds care
to have cat in the house, lest some
day Miss Pussy do some mischief.
There is very simple and effective
means of teaching cat to keep away
from the birds cage, and young peo-
pie who are fond of pets will be inter-
ested, perhaps, in the experience of the
writer. He had a pretty little canary
bird which he kept in his own room
One day he entered the apartment
just in time to see the family cat
crouching before the cage. He decided
that something should be done to teach
the cat lesson. He got long hat
pin and heated it red hot; then he
dipped it in water, which took the
red glow out of it, after which the
pin was placed on the bottom of the
bird cage, one end protruding a little
bit. Picking up the cat, he pressed
one of its paws down on the hot wire,
and the cat squealed with pain and
bolted from the room. Never afterward
would that four-footed pet go any
where near bird cage, it having rea-
soned with itself that If one portion OF
the cage hurt, any part of 1t might be
expected to give pain.
