Take the Tombstonc Along.

The cemetery superintendents say
that there is one peculiarly about the
funerals of Cinnamon which is new
er noticed at any other funerals. The
tombstone always comes along with
the fuac~al. Most of the tombstones
are simple slabs of marble. with the
inscription in Chinese characters,
which are arranged up and down in
stead of across the stone. In two or
three instances the funerals of Chi
namcn have been known To be delayed
because the friends OF the man who
was to be buried were waiting for the
tombstone to lee finished. The stone is
always taken to the cemetery in the
undertaker's agon.-RaltimOre Sun.

ive:"
The city hall detective scratched his
head rehectiveIy and then was compel
led 10 admit that he had never heard of
such an individual.
We'll, there are q dozen or more of
them in Philadelphia, and they make
good money too.
Their work is simple. You see, a
great many piano firms sell instru-
ments on the installment plan. That IS,
the purchaser pays, say, $50 down on 4
$500 or 5000 instrument and agrees TO
make good the remainder at SO much q
month. BY far the greater number of
such purchasers are as honest as the
day is long. but once in Il while Il man
comes along whose little scheme is to
move ont the piano day or two after
it is delivered and sell it for = couple
of hundred.
1T is the business OF the piano de-
tective to circumvent this sort of thing.
AS n rule. some suspicious movement
on the part of the would be defrauder
of the piano dealer causes him TO be
placed under suspicion. The dealer
can't step in and take his instrument
away under the contract, and the only
thing he can do is TO watch il. Here
is where the piano detective comes in.
He hOverS around the house in which
the suspected purchaser lives. night
and day. watching any attempt TO make
way with the piano. Usually three or
four weeks are long enough to settle
the question one way or another. II the
piano buyer i crooked. he is practically
certain 10 make some sort of a move
before the expiration of that time. If
he doesn't. it is pretty safe presumption
that the suspicion is groundless and
the piano detective is called off by his
employer. with no one but himself and
two or three others the wiser. But the
precaution is a necessary One.'-Cin-

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, August S.-The stock mar
ket was duh affair for the greater
part Of the day, drifting aimlessly with
in narrow range. Some strength was
shown by few isolated stocks through
out the day under the influence which
was not disclosed by any published
news. This persistent strength in some
spots seemed to arouse the apprehen-
sions of the bears in the last hour
of the market. The manner in which
prices were marked up in the late deal
ings indicated Il good deal or Il scramble
by the shorts to cover their contracts
and awakened more appearance of ami
nation and strength than has been seen
in the market for some time.
The higher prices for Americans made
in London were without much effect and
they were for the most part nominal
and London sold from 10000 TO $1,000
shares here after the opening: Strength
kept cropping ont at new points rs the
day progressed. There was early
strength in Anaconda and few of the
Specalties, but period of reaction fol-
lowed under realizing in Tobacco and

stocks advanced point. A very
strong upward movement in Sugar
from, 1915 to 1928 was the decisive in
iiuence in the late strength of the mar
ket which closed active and strong at
net gains in nearly all cases. The
tone of the money market was called
rather easier, though rates were not
quotably changed. The hardening ten
dency OF London discounts still contin-
ued but the money rate at Berlin was
fraction lower and sterling exchange
there advanced. showing relaxation of
the tension at that point, notwithStand-
ing that the Bank of England contin-
ues to make demands upon Berlin for
gold. Sterling exchange here continued
its downward course and confidence
grows that gold will come from abroad
il an emergency here demands it..

During the civil war, as well as in our
late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one
of the most troublesome diseases the
army had to contend with. In many in
stances it became chronic and the old
soldiers still suffer from it. Mr.. David
Taylor of Wind Ridge, Greene County,
Pa, is one of these. He uses Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and says he never found any
thing that would give him such quick
relief. 1t is for sale everywhere. Bob
