In many churches of Provence and
Italy, especially those near the sea, ex
vote paintings placed on the walls in
accordance with vows made by pill
grims in moments of danger are often
remarkable for their frames. Among
the curiosities may be enumerated
laths formed of splinters from ships
that have been wrecked; also frames
made of pieces Of heavy cables, occa-
sionally painted bright hues, but some
times left In their primitive gray color
and splashed with tar Nailed to the
laths surrounding painting repre-
senting sailors fighting with fierce saw
ages may be seen African or Polyne-
sian spears and darts or swords made
of hard wood. evidently mementos of
terrific struggles. Sailors or landsmen
who have made vows during times of
peril at sea and who have no trophies
to display will surround their paintings
with broad bands of wood heavily in
crusted with shells and seaweed, not
infrequently of rare and extremely
beautiful kinds. = London Peoples

to the three sunk at the entrance and to

Johnny Smith is bright boy and Is in
no way inclined to hide his light under a
bushel. Last summer he ran away with
a travelling circus, and when he returned
was more than ever disposed to teach the
neighborhood, especially the boys with
whom he associated
One day another circus came TO the
town. and Johnny was promptly on hand
assuming all the airs of proprietor as he
showed his friends round. An elephant
was among the attractions, and Johnny
actually made him kneel and raise his
trunk and go through other simple per-
formances. But at last the elephant seem
ed to grow tired of this, for he suddenly
threw his trunk round Johnny wsist and
tossed him high up into the air. Johnny
came down with tremendous thud on all
tours
"Bravol'' cried the boys, thinking 1t a
part of the performance. "Do 1t again,

Johnny rose deliberately and wiped the
dirt from his face.

The Public GalIows a Century Ago.
Even if the bicycle had been invented
hundred years ago touring could
hardly have become very popular-at
all events, for solitary cyclists. The
old guidebooks were by no means
cheerful reading. A run from London
to East Grinstead, distance of five or
six and twenty miles, would have tax
en- the wheelman past three gibbets.
and it was just as likely as not that
from one or the other of them body
would be swinging in the wind.
Up till the beginning of the nine
teenth century the gallows was almost
as frequent a landmark as finger posts
or public houses have become now.
The traveller approaching York is di-
rected by the guidebooks to turn
round by the gallows and three wind
mills" and the road out of Durham is
"between the gallows and Crokehill."
Going out of Wells you "cross the
brook and pass by the gallows."
Any number of such directions can
be cleaned from the old books for the
guidance of travellers hundred years
ago, and as these interesting objects
were put up and the dead bodies of
malefactors left upon them for the
special edification of footpads and
highwaymen there was suggestive
ness about them that must have given
a special piquancy to cycle touring if it
had been in vogue at that time.-Lon-

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June Z5-Prices of stocks
reacted sharply today and were carried
down under such active selling as has
not been seen in the market for several
weeks past. This development did not
make itself felt until late in the day,
and after such a period of neglect and
apathy on the part of speculative and in
veStment interests as in itself invites to
attack on prices by professional bears.
There was a continued slight dribble of
stocks on the market under which prices
slowly but pretty steadily yielded except
for q few special cases where desultory
speculation for the rise centered or where
buying was induced by causes individual
to the stocks.
Those were entirely without influence
ON the general list. A rather general ten
dency to recover some of the opening de-
clines, had the edge taken off it by the
first bulletin announcing the suspension
of an important bank in Leipsic The
course of German bank shares for the
last few days has indicated an unsettled
condition of affairs in Germany and to-
days occurrence arouses apprehension
that the coming semi annual settlements
in Berlin may be the occasion of a more
or less extended collapse. The recent
failure of q bank in Dresden revealed
such a state of involvement with formerly
inflated securities which had suffered
from the Industrial depression in Ger
many, that the credit of many industrial
enterprises was considerably undermined.
The fear of a crisis has probably prompt
ed the Imperial Bank of Germany to re-
cuperate it's resources to their present
extraordinary strength. With the gain
in cash this week and the receipt next
week of the New York gold shipments,
the banks cash reserves will be lifted to
near $3.50, 600, 900. The banks outstanding
note issues are also nearly $500 900, 900 be-
low the legal requirement So that the
German money market is unusually we'll
equipped to meet crisis. The consider
alton of these conditions made speculative
minds sensitive and late in the day when
many rumors began to circulate of local
banking troubles there was lively spill
ing out of stocks all through the list
The bears made the most OF the unex-
pected opportunity and offered prices
down boldly, while the rumors were al
the high tide of exaggeration They sue
ceeded in breaking through the defences
which had been established by the bull
leaders while they were away for their
vacations and heavy stop loss orders
were uncovered. Stocks with any large
speculative accounts in them were natur-
ally most affected. st. Paul and Missouri
Pacific were conspicuous in the decline al

which were marked up in the early deal
ings today. The drop in st. Paul extended
TO five points. When the nature or the
investigation being made by the clear
ing house association of the affairs be-
tween one of the banks and the associa-
tion became more accurately known and
1t was announced that no action would be
necessary there was a lively scramble
on the part of professional shorts TO
cover, and the rally III the pincipal active
stocks was between one and two points.
