PROVERBS ABOUT M

Here are some Chinese sayings that
Indicate much philosophy:
Respect always n silent woman.
Great Is the wisdom Of the woman
that holdeth her tongue.
A vain woman is to be feared, for
she will sacrifice all for her pride.
Trust not a vain woman, for she is
first in her OWL eye.
A naughty woman stumbles. for she
cannot see what may be in her way.
Trust not the woman that thlnketh
more Of herself than another. Mercy
will not dwell in her heart.
The gods honor her who thinketh
long before opening her lips. Pearls
come from her mouth.
A woman and a child are alike. Each
needs a strong, uplifting hand.
A woman that respects herself Is
more beautiful than a single star, more
beautiful than many stars at night.
Woman Is the ease for that which
pains the father. She is balm for his
troubles.
A woman who mistakes her place
can never return to where she first
was. The path has been covered up
from her eyes.

Horses In Africu,

a South African bred horse keeps his
condition best. as he will get his head
down and nlbble whenever you get of
his back. He Is less excitable, too,
than most English horses. An import.
ed horse bred north OF the equator
takes ut least n year to get used to the
change Of seasons, not to mention the
change Of food.
When campaigning, it Is not the fast
work which kills the horses, but the
long hours, heavy weights and want Of
sleep and food. 1t Is as well, therefore,
TO halt il possible where there Is graz.
ing and TO dlsmount whenever you halt
wen for n few minutes.
The safest way to secure the horses
of a patrol on the ycldt at night is tc
place about n dozen in n circle, each
one being tied by the rein TO the head.

In this way the horses cannot, OF

other warm and cannot get loose with.
out breaking two reins instead Of one.
IL a horse is dead beat, he can Of
course be knee battered or tied up by
himself.-Longman's.

There will doubtless never come a

when the discovery VI "old masters

American picture buyers possess the

Nearly every week In New York for

''rare' did certainly apply very aptly

One well known New York art col

for n certain painting that an enter
prising dealer had discovered and
who represented 1t to him as very rare

liquidation in wheat on a dull and
heavy market depressed grains to-day
and December wheat closed %a1ac
lower. December corn %a7sc depressed
and December oats Aa3sc down. Pro-
visions closed shade to IS lower.
Traders had expected bull day in
wheat, partly ON the rumor that line

A little early covering even advanced
the price to 71sse but sharp decline in
cables set commission houses and
prominent professionals selling long
lines and the only support left was "a
little scalping by pit traders. There
was more bullish Argentine news but
that had only a short lived influence. A
considerable visible increase also de-
pressed prices and December sagged of

Liquidation was the principal factor
in the corn pit following upon the de-
pressing influence of the sag in wheat

SPECULATIVE SENTIMENT
On the New York stock Market Pro-
foupdIy Dubious.


NEW YORK, October 21.-Specula-
tive>sentiment continued profoundly
dubious to-day, but instead of the con-
flicting movements of prices and the
confusion which have reflected this
condition for some time past, the stock
market sank into a lethargic state.
Even the professional operators SEEM
ed to give up the idea of attempting
to foresee the future movement of
prices. 1t would be necessary to go
back year to find similar period of
dizziness. Last weeks transactions Of
the stock exchange fell below the cor
responding period of last year for the
first time during the present calendar
year. This fact and to-day's dullness,
which was even marked are striking
evidences of the uncertainty which has
overcome the speculation. due imme-
diately to the emergency of the North
ern Pacific problem and the disclosure
of the fact that the favorable terms of
a statement still remain to be agreed
upon. While the incumbency of the
Cancellation board of directors of
course, affords strong guarantee
against the outbreak of the quarrel
n.
to have practically the whole task yet
before them of finding plan which
will be acceptable as a final statement
to both parties and relieve the strained
condition growing ont of the load of Sc
curities carried for control now by
means of bank loans Incoming foreign
mails disclose that the Importance OF
This problem is fully recognized
throughout the financial world, and its
state of suspension acts as repressiye
influence on speculation. The contin-
ned uncertainty of the money market
outlook is another doubtful factor.
Money continues to go to the South
and the sub7treasury at New York to
remove the surplus in the revenue from
the circulation, while sterling exchange
rose again to-day. As this marks the
process of the remittance for repayment
of foreign borrowings, it was pot I'M
natural the London money market
should respond with decline in rates
Money market pressure at Paris and
Berlin continues and the ultimate fu-
ture of those markets when the heavy
wear end requirements come to be met
is a question still to be solved. New
York banks to-day had the benefit OF
naymenfs from the sup-Ireasury of al
most 81 600 900 op account of Austria
