The Stock Market this morning offered
little on which to form an opinion as TO the
future course OF prices. During the hrst
hour there was fair activity, but little
change from the level at the close last
night. There was apparent excellent sup
port of some securities and the commission
houses bought others for their customers
who are rightly Of the opinion that the
present prices are very low. Short COW
ering also helped TO hold the market
steady in the face of rather extended Ii
qutdation by small holders OF securities
who are being forced out by the declines
In such a market there is of course. a
strongly marked difference of opinion. The
bears insist that the break has only be
gun. and that SO and $50 a share will be
clipped Oft prices before it is ended. The
more generally held opinion among
shrewd market people is that the declines
q this level are due to professionals al
most entirely. and that they viii be follow

The gransers held their own as did also
the Pacific securities. There is much
bear talk regarding Northern Pacific. com
mon stock. which the bears argue is sell
ing too high compared with other parts OF
the list. 1t is argued that there is only
a per cent dividend to be expected and
that at this rate the stock at so is selling
on 4 per cent investment basis. The
question all seems to hang on the pros
poets for a larger dividend in the near fu-
ture. Many people believe that this sys-

Indian Mohammeaans.

It will be surprising to many toA
know that there are more Moham-.
medans in India than in Turkey.
Fully one-third of all the Moham-
medans of the world live in Hin.
dustan, and they number about S.
00O,00O You find them everywhere,
and there are some States which are
ruled by them. Take for instance
Hyderabad, which is about as big as
Kansas and which has population of
over ii, 100000 The ruler of this
country is Turk, and he is one of
the richest rulers of the world. He
is about thirty years of age, and it is
said that it costs him about S10,-
100000 year to run his establish
ment. His table service is of solid
gold and his dress upon State occa-
sions is of snow-white silk decorated
with pearls. His income is said to be
about $50, 600, 900 year, and his col
lection of jewels is estimated to be
worth more than S25, 600, 600. He
owns some of the finest diamonds of
the world, among others one which is
known as the Niszam, which is worth
about million dollars. This man
has small army, but with his enorm-
ous income he could if he would soon
collect vast number of fighting men.
In the central Indian States there is
a Mohamrnedan rajah who has about
million people under him, and in the
North Indian States there are quite q
number of Mohammedan provinces.

Decay in timber is brought about
IN three ways-by the action of bac-
terra In the albumen IN the sap, by
the absorption of water and by the
action of insects. An ordinary fir tele-
graph pole, without any chemical prep
aration, will become rotten in seven
years. Creosote is most effective
preservatlve. A line of 31S creosoted
poles erected in 1S4S was examined
thirteen years afterward and only two
showed the slightest sign Of decay.
In 1888 the poles were still in use,
and apparently sound. Another limo
of forty miles of poles were put up in
1861 in groups of three. The first in
each trio was plain pole, the second
had been treated by patent lotion
and the third had been creosoted. In
1870 all the plain poles had been re-
moved, thirty per cent. of the spec-
tally treated poles wero exhausted,

There's little to wonder at in the
statement that women were such a
success at census taking in Cuba the

first time officially employed in gov.
mental capacity. It was because OF
the other women. One chief diff.
Guilty OF men census-t takers he's always
been to get the respective members Of
the feminine population to give their
correct age. Women census takers
would not only be pretty sure to make
victim give her right age, but if it
came to the point she could always
guess at it more accurately than a
man. It takes a woman to catch a

When the financial bill was laid before
| the Senate the pending question was on
this amendment, offered by the FINANCE
Committee:
"That the provisions Of this act are not
i intended to place any obstacles In the way
OF the accomplishment OF international
bimetallism, provided the same be secured
1 by concurrent action OF the leading COM
| mercial nations of the world, and at a ratio
4 which shall insure pernanence OF relative
| value between gold and silver
Mr.. Hoar declared the double standard
Of gold and silver had not only been ac-
cepted by the people, but had been en-
i bodied In the constitution itself. In reaf-
f1rming the double standard, Congress only
] reaf1rmed what the people had held for q
| century. But when by the action OF other
nations this country was forced to accept
4 single standard, 1t was forced to accept
the most valuable metal. We should gel
the double standard when the opportunity
came. There was, therefore, no pretence
or Hypocrisy in the pending amendment.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
says: While Alabama is furnishing
Japan with iron goods of various manu-
factnre and while the cotton States are
furnishing that country with raw and
manufactured cotton, Maury County,
Tenn, is furnishing phosphate from
her inexhaustible stores. All this is
merely a straw to show which way the

the roundabout and expensive way of

it is not confined to cotton and iron
products alone, but extending to all
Southern products. When the Mica

Phellosene is the name oiyen bv

Phellosene is the name given by a
French inventor to a substance he
describes as artificial cork and which
may be used for all purposes for
which cork has hitherto been found
needful. It is an analogue of cellu-
loid, say an English authority, and
consists of cork bark ground to an
impalpable powder and agglutinated
by a solution of nitro-cellulose in
acetone. This material is made into
doughy mass, compressed into
moulds and dried. It contains about
ten to twelve per cent. of nitro-cellu-
lose and is said to be trife. if any
thing, more combustible than cork
under the ordinary conditions.

Appropriation For Travelling Libraries.
What are known as "New Jerseys trav-
cling libraries are already very popular.
although they have been making their per-
ordinations short time. The object Is to
have the libraries placed in parts OF the
State that are destitute OF the advantages
which the books afford, and this object is
being carried out. To do 1t fully, how
ever, the State Library Commission will
probably recommend an additional appro-
priation OF $500, as the means now at COM
mand are inadequate to meet the requ ssts
OF several OF the villages and towns that
have made application for the libraries. 1t
is thought by those In position to know
that there are few ways in which reason
able amount Of the public money could be
