Give them oil cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anamic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
Of course you must use the

elevate the public taste, shelyed one of R1chebourgs s stories, and printed Jules Ferne's Michael Strogoff' instead of it. He received eighty thousand indignant letters in a week. and had to implore the rejected contributor to return to him. So Richebourg wrote and wrote, with absolutely uncheckered success, until his comparatively recent death. Hep ut together, on an average, five se- rial stories a year, and he was regular ly paid four thousand pounds for each of them. That is to say. he earned twenty thousand pounds a year by writing rubbish-a feat absolutely with out parallel in literary annals.
 In England the feuilleton has never acquired such importance as abroad, for various reasons. The chief obstacles to it's advent have been the English inter- est in politics, the ample service of news, and the pressure of advertise ments. Many attempts to introduce the rOman-feuilleton into English dailies have been thWarted by these considera- tions. Whether they will prevail in a world of fiuX and change is another question. As papers multiply, some will presumably find-some, indeed, are already finding-that a particular kind of serial story is more attractive than either news or politics to a particular class of readers. There are writers, whose names are very little known to the literary critic, who specialize in this branch of the literary craft, and there are practical men in newspaper offices who have made close scientific study of the conditions which determine the popularity of the fiction that Is thus served out in daily doses. Some of them have even gone so far as to draft certain rules of the game" which they print and distribute for the guidance of their contributors. The scene must be laid in England; there must be plenty of sensational incident, but it must be subservient to sentiment; climaxes must ocur at the end of all the install ments; virtue must triumph in the end, but must first endure icissitudes. Such are few of the cast-iron regula- tions. They cedtainly are not favora- ble to variety, or to brilliant literary achievement; but they may have their practical uses, even though it is the fact that no English feuilletonist, how ever diligently he has conformed to them, has so far attained either the reputation or the emoluments of the great French masters of the art London Standard.

It may be said that they have also provided in the same way for the year and period six months hence The rise in money rates in London to-day caused an advance in sterling at Paris, and thus relieved the pressure upon New York. New York exchange at Chicago. which ruled at 35 cents pre- mium last week dropped back to-day to 5 cents discount, indicating some press ure from that source upon New York for funds. The market closed almost inanimate and steady.
 There was an active market for Bur- lington joint fours in connection with the closing up of the syndicate. The understanding that the syndicate hold ings were disposed of in connection with the settlement made the bonds strong. Otherwise the market was quiet and firm. Total sales par value $4, O40,000.

Ignoring Things Unmvorabie With In-
 vincible cheerfuIness.
 New York. June 30.-The stock mar ket reflected the recent prevailing tend ency Of speculative sentiment to-day and to lay greatest stress upon encour- aging developments and to ignore what appears to be unfavorable with an in- vincible cheerfuIness. The money mar kite became quite active to-day and call loan rates ran up to per cent un- der the influence of the month and de- mand for funds. This had the effect of curtailing operations in stocks to some extent, but forced no appreciable liqui- dation. The special stocks which have been chosen as lNaders of the market by the speculativ party which has made itsels the guardian of values showed points Of strength at various times during the day. The action of the grain markets created the impress sion of 8 feeling of considerable anxiety over the effect of heavy storms upon the grain crops, but outside of St.
 Paul there was no railroad stock which was much affected by this development. On the other hand the favorable ef- feet of heavy storms upon the grain crops, but outside of St. Paul there was no railroad stock which was much affected by this development. On the other hand the favorable effect of the rains on the cotton crop found a re- sponse in an upward movement in some of the cotton carriers, notably Texas & Pacific and Southern Railway. The coalers also responded to the expres- sions of confidence on behalf of the operators that the coal strike is disin- tegrating. There is a belief in the financial district that the coal mine op- ertaors have been deferring active steps towards a resumption of mining until after the July holidays in the belief tha tthe holiday period might aggra- vate tendency to disorder. A buoyant recovery from recent depression in Colo- rado Fuel was attributed to manipula- tion or to a struggle for control amongst disaffected insiders. Sugar all so made an unexplained rise but the industrials generally were heavy. Unit ed States Steel stocks dropped back a fraction. Overcapitalization, insuffi- cientt provision for working capital and eXorbitant allowances to merger syndi- cates, and the continually developing necessity for bond issues by the indus trial combinations are subjects under constant discussion in Wall street. The illness of the king of England was prac, ically eliminated as a sactor to-
 day. The immunity of stock values from harm on account of the furry in
 the money market is attributed to the fact that the large speculative interests

AS each head was severed a stream
Of blood spouted from two to three feet
in the air, and by time the last man had

Of blood.
| DR.. Norton's observations on the re-
suits Of decapitation have created
sensation in the medical world. AS
each head fell the doctor watched close
ly and was strongly impressed with
, the idea that death was not instanta-
neous, but that it came almost imme-
diately after the stroke accompanying
a syncope. He fixes the period Of con-
sciousness after decapitation at about
five seconds. Continuing his story, he
said:
LAS the heads fell I examined them
closely. There would be a swift up
ward movement of the eyes, an express

face, as If the victim were wondering

as If in an attempt to speak, and then
the faces would turn pale and a faint

only for second.

fort to swallow was shown, and repeat
ed several times. In some instances
there was pronounced effort to speak,
judging from the expression and move
ments Of the lips. This was not con-
vulsive movement, but most deliber-
ate and expressive one. The men were
not in the act Of speaking when the
blow fell. In other cases there was a
natural movement Of the eyes, as If
looking, and an opening and closing Of
the lids occurred.
There was no convulsive movements
in any Of the bodies or legs, the heads
alone showing signs of life. Close ex-
animation Of the facial expression i'm

the face Of person in syncope, and the
eyes, eyelids, color and general express

THE DEVILS sOLILOQUY.

Suggested by hearing a young man
speak disparagingly Of young girl.
One night as the devil sat musing
alone,
In the midst of his cozy warm fire,
Trying to figure the difference In guilt
Tween a thief and an all-round liar
His memory turned to the scene Of his
youth
And his eyes filled with hot burning
tears;
So he took down his ledger and turned
to page
Dated back about six thousand years
IT suppose" he exclaimed as he glanced
through the book
I'm doing the best I can,
For my thoughts denote a continued
increase
Ever since the creation Of man;
I've cribbed good harvest for six
thousand years,
And should be content with the yield,
And give my opponent permission to
have
The cleaning I leave in the field.
I've gathered a very diversified crop
OF merchants and lawyers galore;
I've bound politicians in bundles until
The ends Of my fingers are sore.
I've fiddlers, gamblers and insurance
men;
I've murderers, forgers and liars,
And filled up my furnace with green
populists
Till they actually put out the fires.
1--WE railroad conductors and doctors
to spare,
Horse traders and preachers to spend;
Republicans, Democrats, Tories, Wings,
And two or three newspaper men.
But there is one class I'm happy to say,
Can never gain entrance here;
Their souls are so dirty, I'm sure that
they would
Demoralize hell in year.
'tI refer to that thing neither human
nor beast
The carrion crow Of the world
Who never Is happy unless he can feast
On the wreck Of an innocent girl.
A million Of years in my warmest Of
rooms
His ISLANDERS would never atone;
So I give him match and advise him
to start
A select little hell of his own.
With his fingers he lit an asbestos ci-
gar,
And placed his book on thesshelf:
He muttered: II may be a very bad
man,
But rye got some respect for myself" !"
