Though occasional disturbances, such as the copper war and the run on St Louis banking institutions, keep the stock market in a somewhat nervous condition, the general trend in fnan- cial circles is towards further improve ment, Henry C1ews, the banker, writes thus in his weekly letter. This is due to the belief that the forced liquidating movement has about reached its end and that no further serious trouble is looked for from that source. It is known that important points of weak ness have been eliminated by private settlements, instead of by forced sales on the stock exchange, and, judging by actions in high financial circles it is ap- parent that much more confidence is now felt than for some time past. There is no doubt that powerful inter- ests have successfully avoided panic by extending aid to carry over crip- pied concerns, and now that the dan ger points have been removed the mar ket is gradually settling down to nor nal conditions, or on a level more in keeping with the changes in the situ- alton. It is generally admitted now that the country must readjust itself to lower prices; that supply has over taken demand, and that the latter can only be revived by the ordinary and inevitable methods of concession. This applies not only to Wall street but to the whole business world.

STEPPED AGAINST A HOT STOVE

A child of Mrs George T. Benson, when getting his usual Saturday night bath, stepped back against a hot stove which burned him severely. The child was in great agony and his mother could do nothing to pacify him. Re menIbering that she had a. bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm in the house, she thought she would try 1t. Tn less than half an hour after applying it the child was quiet and asleep, and in less than two weeks was well. Mrs Ben son is a we'll known resident of Kel- lar, Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic liniment and especially valuable for burns, cuts. bruises and sprains. For sale by all druggists.

AN ENEMY TO HEALTH.

Jealousy will upset the entire system and is one of the most deadly enemies to health, happiness and success. Vic tims of jealousy oftentimes lose their health entirely, and do not regain 1t until the jealousy is removed and sometimes become so demoTalized men tally that they commit murder or sui eide. or become insane. A standing headline in Paris newspapers is "Drames Passionels." meaning trage- dies from passion. A strong. con tinual hatred will sometimes not only destroy digestion, assimilation and peace of mind. but also ruin character.
 These bodily effects of the emotions and many others are in part due to cer- tain chemical products formed in the body by the emotions. Medical men say that they are analogous to the venom of poisonous snakes, which Is likewise secreted under the influence of fear and anger. A snake has sac in which to store the venom; we have none and it spreads through all the tis- sues in spite of efforts to eliminate it.
 Professor Elmer Gates who has gone further than any other scientist into the investigation of emotions, says
 "It need not surprise anyone that che emotions of sadness and pain and grief effect the bodily secretfons and ex- cretions because everyone must have observed that, during these depressing emotions, the respiration goes on at a slower rate, the circulation is retardea. digestion is impaired, the checks be- come pale, the eyes grow lusterless, and so forth. h.'-Success.

Roughly speaking, emigration is pro- the least desirable citizens and retard- ed in those that send Us the most de sirable, says writer in Golfers. Southern Italy must find an outlet for it's surplus population; the Italian gov ernment resents our restrictions. For the laborers send many postal orders home, and frequently return with mod est competencies to establish them selves in small shops or on small farms. De PIehve has as good as said that he would like to drive all the Jews in Russia to America. No one realizes better than the German emperor the value of strong young man to an m dustrial community. Twenty years ago emigration left dearth of agricul- tural labor in Germany. The kaiser set out to keep his Germans at home and has pretty we'll succeeded. Ger man steamship companies carry on an active propaganda in Italy, Slavon1a, and in Russia as well; but in the fath- erland itself nothing of the sort Is per- mitted. Every German being cata- logued by the police, it is not only easy to stop the departure of those of mili- tary age, but also to discourage the de- parture of others. An American visit ing Hungary is told politely that we encourage the worst to go and keep the others.''

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP. (From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe)
 This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighbor- hood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup reme- dies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and to1u but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet ter and does not cost so much. II causes the patient to ssthrow up the phlegm' quicker. and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant to take. For sale by all druggists.

INDIAN TRIBES ARE ALLIED.
Cheyennes and ArapahOes Have Al

Closely Associated.

From a very early period the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes have been more
! or less associated with each other.
says the Arapahoe Bee. They seemed
TO have lived more or less in the same
localities. moving from time to time
from the same general causes. Their
language is essentially different. so
they do not understand each other.
except as they have learned each
others language. This. in many cases.
they have done. largely through the
sign language. which is common TO
western Indians. These two tribes
have largely intermarried, These in
termarriages have existed for many
years. There are many cases of men
80 years old and more, speaking both
languages, who can say that they are
half Cheyenne and half Arapahoe.
Like the Cheyennes. the Arapahoes
have been divided, a portion of the
Arapahoes now being on a reserya-
ton in Wyoming, while others associ-
aied with the Cheyennes are now in
Oklahoma. The Arapahoes are more
submissive To the white mans rule
and obey more readily the government

management on the part of the white
man they are capable of being made
an industrious and self-supportins

a large number of songs more or less
religious, They are also now very
much diseased. tuberculosis in its
various forms abounds. The death
rate in recent years from various
causes is large.

Positions for Sharpshootfur

Standing, kneeling, sitting and lying
down are the four positions prescribed
for firing by the army regulations.
The lying position alone is prescribed
for the 800 and 1.oOO-yard ranges,
while at all other ranges up to 200
yards the lying and sitting positions
are used. At 100 and 200 yards the
sitting and standing positions are pre-
scribed. Wherever the sitting position
is prescribed the kneeling may be SUBJ

sons the sitting is by far the better

PIE WAS A FAINTER.

A Dsunken Prison er's Excuse In a
New York Police Court.
1t is characteristic of almost all the
prisoners except the drunks that their
chief concern is to secure a delay. They
plead and beg for an adjournment,
which they know will only postpone
the inevitable for a day or two, and
that although, through their inability
to obtain bail, they will have to stay in
prison just the same. The most plausi-
ble explanation is that they all are
fatalists, always hoping that something
unexpected may turn up to staye off
the Impending catastrophe. The
drunks, on the other hand, are more
eager to face the arbiter of their fates,
knowing that nothing worse than fine
is likely to befall them and that the
sooner it is imposed the sooner it may
be paid or served off And then there
is the chance, if the magistrate is in
good humor, that they may get away
unscathed at once.
As rule, although not seldom still
in their cups, they are loath to make
any discriminating admissions. No.

wonderful kind, some of them really
ingenious. others merely ridiculous, are
put forward when the futflity of feign-
ing innocence has been discovered. The
cleverest explanation of that kind that
ever heard was advanced by man
who, when taxed with having dis
played unmistakable signs of intoxica-
ton, simply replied that he was a
painter by trade.
'That has nothing to do with your
