SCRAP Book. Of Royal,i..,

Among the industries that have
sprung up in recent years that OF press
clipping must take prominent rank.
Queen Victoria subscribes to several
bureaus Of this kind. but never sees
the cuttings until they are put into
books under the editing of some of the
family The prince OF Wales patron
izes two of these firms, and in addition
cuts out with his own hands all pic
lures of himself which appear in the
public prints. The greater the carica-
ture, the more he chuckles over it. But
the royal patron who is the best Gus
toner is the czar of Russia An Amer
lean bureau had made him a scrap
book sumptuously bound. with gilt
edges and clasps of gold. in which
are cuttings from every paper about
the death and obsequies of his father.
also about his own marriage and coro-
nation ceremonies, and later in regard
TO the American journey of Prince
Hillkof, his minister OF railways. The
same firm has now in hand all clip
pings relating to the peace conference.
which is to form another series Of the
imperial scrap book. 1t is we'll known
that the czarina takes a great deal of
delight in cutting out with her own
hands carlcatures of her husband

ing them on the wall of room in the
winter palace which is specially re-

AN INDIAN SWEAT HOUSE"

The Medicine Man OF early In
dian history has been partly succeeded
at least by the ~self-healer' remedy
which some individuals In Indian
tribes Of the west have invented for
their use. The sweat house" Is a
remarkable creation Of the North
American rcdskin- The sweat
house OF the average mortal Is q SUI
perheated room and swAthing Of
thick blar.tets-perhaps, to a degrce,
the Indian has borrowed the white
mans method OF nursing some phase
OF bodily disease.
In some western tribes the sweat
house" has come 20 be an invaluable
department o: the Indian hospital. %
The picture presented herewith IS a
view OF one OF these old sweat
houses yVls-te-tc-no." The Indian
sitting beside IL Is Smo-hO-lo. The
big pile OF rocks al the LETT is heated
and placed inside the little house. and
the Hap thrown over the door. Water
is then poured upon the hot rocks. and
n dense steam arises and hIIs the mar
row quarters almost 10 sunocation.
ThEreupon the Indian. after wrapping
himself In blanket. crawls Into the
structure and remains until the per
spIration pours from his body in
streams. He then leaves the house
and plunges into the chilling waters OF

MUCH WEAKNESS WAS MANIFESTED The Stock Market is Still Badly
 Depressed. HESlTANCY AT THE OPENING This Was Followed By a Rising Market But the Entire List Considerably Weakened in the Late
 Tradings
RESlTANCY AT THE OPENING

New York, August 25.-Weakness was pretty generally manifested throughout the entire stock market today, but as the offer ings of stocks were only fairly large in Brooklyn Transit, not much of an inroad was made on prices. Early hesitancy was succeeded by a rising market, but the en- tire list weakened in the late trading on the publication of the bank statement and liquidation in Brooklyn Transit.
 Numerous favorable weekly statements of earnings came to hand but their showings were without avail in sustaining prices. Respecting the recent activity and strength in St. Louis Southwestern, the July state tnent made known today is explanatory The report showed a gain of 60 per cent in clearings over the corresponding period year ago.
 Estimates as to the extent to which the banks had recouped themselves on sub treasury operations and the interior cur rency movement for the losses in cash last week was not borne out in the official report. The discrepancy Is thought to be due to the complicated system of sewerages which does not indicate the banks real strength.
 Metal stocks showed less susceptibility to trade advices and the labor attitude there was expected in a professional market. Comparisons with the final prices of a week ago show that many of the prominent ratl- road stocks are down from l to e1s points. In the specialties Sugar and Brooklyn Transit are down 33s and points, respect lively. Exceptions are noted in both classes of stocks but the advances not import ant

SEVERE BREAK IN COTTON MARKET Prices TumbIed in Response to

SOUTHERN MARKETS WEAK

New York, August 25.-The market for cotton futures opened steady at decline of to l5 points. generally better news from the crop centers to a friendly "chron- icle" summary of the week just ended Liquidation was the leading feature of early speculation, though bear pounding occupied prominent part in business throughout the session. The commission houses and the wire element were the chief buyers on the down turn, presumably for profits, and but for this support the mar ket would doubtless have declined sensa- tionally on the opening Private cables declared the English market had weakened under storm of general selling, based upon our late break and the more encour- aging crop accounts.
 The local market was very nervous all the forenoon with the bears having things their own way much of the time. Receipts showed a disposition to pile up more rap idly and conservative estimates pointed to heavy forward movement next week. Southern spot markets were described as weak and tending down under free offer ings. The Government weather reports showed further showers oyer the central and eastern portions of the crop country, With fine, clear weather in the western belt. The crop testimony was generally good as compared with that received early In the week. Futures closed steady with prices net to 20 points lower
