what's Ina Name.

There is moro truth than poetry in
the following: Call girl a chick and
she smiles; call a woman hen and
she howls. Call a young woman a
witch and she is pleased; call an old
woman a witch and she is indignant.
Call a girl a kitten and she rather
likes it; call woman a cat and she
hates you. Women are queer. II
you call man a'gay dog, it will fiat
ter him; call him pup, hound or \
cur, and he will try to alter the map
of your face. He don't mind being
called bull or = bear, yet he will
object to being mentioned as a calf OF
3 cub. Men are queer, too. st. Paul

LONG TlME AWAITING.

For tho ship from DER the bluei
But it's sailing and a-sailing
And in time will come to you;
Unless, perchance, fierce storms arise,
And cruel winds from angry skies
Should drive to where death hidden lies
rhe ship that sails for you,
It's a long time awaiting
For reward that's overdue;
Tho recognition for your toll
The tardy world owes you;
But It will come, however late,
Unless, perchance, De0th opes the gate
Aud leads you out while yet you walt
The wage the world owes you.
It's O long tlme awaiting
For the Joy that should be yours;
But Joy and recompense Will como
To that soul who endures;
And over all the storms that rise
Above the clouds-are sunny skies,
And Heaven holds q glad surprise
For that soul who endures.

velocity and PRESSURE" explained
the powder mill superintendent, "are
the two main requisites in proving
powder. The Government is very
specific in its contracts. It demands
that when fred under service condi-
tions in the gun for which it is in
tended powder must give to the pro-
jectile a muzzle velocity of at least
certain number Of feet per second
without producing a pressure Of more
than a certain number of tons TO
the square inch. For modern guns
the velocity required varies from 1000
to $500 feet per second, and the press
ure is lot allowed to exceed fifteen
tons to the square inch. In some Of
our guns of the present day the
amount Of energy stored mp in the
powder charge is so tremendous MS to
be almost incredible. The limit of
energy upon the proiectile cannot be
estimated, so vast are the possibili-
ties.
"For example, may cite the Orc
gon's 13-inch rifles. Five hundred
and fifty pounds of powder in these
guns impart TO an 100-pound shot a
velocity Of 21O0 feet per second, and
the energy of the proiectile is nearly
a., 900 foot tons. This power is sufii-
cient to lift such a vessel as the Ore
gon eight feet out Of the water.
"These screens between the cannon
and the breastworks are electric chro.
nographs 100 feet apart from each 9th
er and the cannon, and they register
the time of the proiectile's fight with
absolute accuracy"
"And absolute accuracy is-what?"

Much has been said in condemna.
ton Of the ugly advertising signs
which deface the landscape wherever
Que turns, but little has been done to
restrict the evil. 1t may, indeed,
seem a trivial matter, in comparison
with the reckless destruction Of great
forests and the demolition Of such
wonderful natural beauties as the
Palisades. 1t is obviously of vastly
greater importance to save the scenery
than to protect it from petty disfgure
ments, but there is no reason why
both movements should not 60 for
ward hand in hand. In the countries
where civilization is older one would
naturally look for a precedent in this
matter, aud in France they seem to
have settled it in an ingenious way
by adopting the policy of taxing the

MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

Domestic exchange at interior points on New
York foreshadows active demand for money
from the West and South. The larger banks re-
ported a heavy inquiry for funds Yesterday from
Of town and the Treasury receipts were largely
in excess of payments. The latter named factor
may become prominent in the money market this
fall but the Treasury Department is not likely 10
be party to monetary stringency here In fact. it
is generally believed that if the market needs as
sstance it will receive it from the Treasury. Ster
ling exchange again weak. The situation in
the cotton market is apparently the chief influence
in depressing sterling. despite the fact that cot
ton shipments in the last weeks have been 80
per cent lighter than in the time last year
Cotton, however, is now being hurried forward

exchange market. European supplies low

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The stock market was firm small volume
of business. Stocks that were heavy last week
advanced under the influence of covering of
short contracts, and, as a rule. the whole list
edosed above Saturdays final level on traders
transactions. Efforts were made TO depress
the securities Of the Southwestern railroads,
fy7t no stock came on the market. holders evil
IDENTIFY feeling little alarm for the actual value
of their possessions, despite the destructive
storm along the Gulf coast Doubtless the rail
roads entering Galveston and connecting roads
N that part Of the country, will suffer heavy
1osses from the Texas food, but il Is not likely
that investors will sacrifice their stocks and
bonds because of passing winds and waves
Mature has seen At to visit Galveston and other
points along the Gulf coast with fearful havoc,
but man will build again and the wheels OF IN
i6ustry will soon resume their sway in the af-
snicted territory. Railway traffic in that part Of
the country has not been permanently disor-
zanized. The Atchison, Southern Pacific, st.
Louis Southwestern and other roads in the
Southwest will not go out of business because
OF the big storm.
The hard coal stocks responded 10 the I'm
.sorovennent in the labor situation at the anthra
scite coal fields, but the volume Of business was
extremely light The prospects Of strike last
week caused no heavy selling Of the coalers,
and naturally the indications that the proposed
strike would not be serious were not followed
by active buying Active buying IS not a fac
Sor in the current market. Good buying on a
Hight scale is reported in various issues, but a
general demand for stocks has not developed.
And there are no indications Of immediate
revival in speculation on either side OF the mar
ket although bear organs continue to predict
activity ar the expense of values. Conditions
governing the intrinsic worth of securities do
not warrant the expectation of cheaper prices,
the only basis for hear forecasts being the small
chance Of decline based on fear over the re-
suits Of the coming election AS yet fear
the political situation has not made its presence
felt as e market factor People who sell stocks
short in expectation of Mr.. Bryan's election
are about the only operators who have cause for
worry.
The money market presented no evidence Of
an immediate change In rates but sterling
change was a trife easier, The banks are ship
ping money TO the West and South in excess of
receipts at this centre, and the storm in Texas
may be factor in increasing the demands from
the Southwest. Large supplies at this point
and other known factors tending to add to local
holdings reduce the possibility of stringency
in rates TO a question of little Importance. The
stock market reflects in continued 1rmness
the belief in banking circles Of comparative
ease in money throughout the autumn. Closing
prices were strong throughout the list Brook
