New York. Aug. 8.-Foreign houses have

eral market win be somewhat spotty and
those who trade on the theory. Of small
profits and quick returns are likely for the
time being to make the most of their
ventures B. r. T. will probably be some
what feverish but eventually the stock
will sell very high The buying of indus

adhere to the belief that the long side OF
the market will be a most profitable one,
hence the adYisability of taking advantage
of little recessions to pick up stocks. Mis-
souri, Pacific will certainly do very much
better, Gould family is more persistently

Music wards or Fatigue,

A Philadelphia contractor, who has
recently returned form the Soudan,
tells of an interesting fact connected
with the building by the English OF
the new military railroad i'll that
region. With every gang Of 40 or so
men are assigned two hnrpers aud a
flute player. Music is furnished al
most continuously, aud so long as the
musicians play the workmen nearly
all negroes-do not seem to feel the
fatigue, and their movements are con-
formed as nearly as possible to the
time the music. AS q general thing
the players get tired before the work
men do. To white man the melody
produced by these cheerers of labor!
would not. be. inspiring, for it is.
peculiarly plaintive. The Africans,
however, find the music great. in.
spiration, and work with cheefulness
and dispatch. The Philadalphian
declares that the idea is one we'll
worth considering, for it is ;wellknown
that colored laborers and stevedores
along the river front will work harder
and faster if permitted to sing. AS q
matter OF fact, singing among them
is encouraged. Philadelphia Record.

that he took his children to see one Of
the first performances of ''The School
for Scandal" and when they screamed
with delight their irritable father
pinched them, saying: What are you
laughing at? You should not laugh,
my angels; there is nothing to laugh
at" adding, in an undertone, keep
still, you little ounces" When this
was reported to Sheridan he said: ut

pictures ofn Wedding Journey.

ssTheir Welding Journey" is the
borrowed title which young couple
have applied to book ofphotographs
complied during a six weeks bridal
trip. Each is an enthusiastic amateur
photographer, and when one is not
taking pictures the other is. Their
honeymoon journey took them
through Colorado and the Yellowstone,
and leisurely back by way of the Great
Lakes. Very little escaped one or
the other of the two cameras carried,
and the pictures are mounted in a
large photograph book, the Ayleaf
duly lettered in illuminated text by
an artistic friend.
The pictures begin with the
marriage ceremony, obligingly photo
graphed by a friend at the moment
when the minister was pronouncing
them man and wife. AS the wedding
was celebrated in the house, this was
not difficult to accomplish. The same
friend stopped rice-throwing long
enough to catch the bridal pair as they
were driving away, aud from that time
on the pictures are their own selection
of the scenes of their travels.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

to a particularly we'll kept kitchen
garden. A patch Of most interesting
growing things ran beside the fence
for q distance of forty feet There
we're innumerable stalks bearing aloft

"What lovely color" said one of the

"They would do to paint" said the
artist.
'eWon't you please tell us what
those beautiful things are" asked
the girl.
The gardener glanced around in
amazement, and then simply said,
"Which?"
"Why, these things growing along

French Naval Hero.

Many English readers and not few
Frenchmen might well ask why the
cruiser recently launched at Bordeaux
was christened Infernet Yet Infernet
was one Of the most heroic Of French
naval commanders, and for q time ais
name was almost as popular In Eng
land as In France. He was captain OF
the Intrepide at the battle Of Trafal'
gar, which, With the Redoubtahle,
added most to the glory of the French
feet. Cut OF from tho rest Of the feet
by the English attack, 1nfernet re-
sisted to the last. Though hemmed IN
by seven of Nelson's ships, and fired
on from all sides, he refused to sur
render. The Intrepide was burned,
but Infernet, and Lucas, the command
or Of the /Redoubtable, were brought
to England, where they were entnusi-
astically received.
when tnfernet retired from the SER
vice on d modest pension In 1914, ne
went to live III the neighborhood Of
Nice, where was often seen mounted

Mcdonald.
Consciously and unconsciously each
intelligent being makes choice at
every turn, either fulfilling or outrag-
ing the higher law of his nature, either
entering into or refusing fellowship
with God.-John' Watson, D. D.
The crown of patience cannot be
received where there has been no suf-
fering. If thou refuseth to suffer,
thou refuseth to be. crowned; but, il
thou wishest to b0 crowned, thou
must fight manfully and suffer pa,
tiently. Without labor none eau OBJ
tain rest and without contending there
can hs no conquest.-Thomas q
Kempis.
Did you ever hear of a man who
had striyen all his life faithfully ard
singly toward All object and in no
measure obtained it? If man con.
stantly aspires, is he not elevated ? II
a man constantly aspires is he not ele.
vated? Did ever man try heroism,
magnanimity, truth, sincerity, and
find that there was no advantage in
them-that it was vain endeavor;
H. i. Thoreau.
