Wall Street and the Country.

Wall street, fountain head of the
financial activities of the United
States, if not of the whole world is
little understood by multitudes Of
newspaper readers, Many regard it
as simply n huge gambling instltu-
ton. The language Of the financial
reports published daily is not fully
coI1prehended even by the average
business man well informed ON other
matters. The technical terms are a.
Greek to the uninitiated. The real
functions of Wall street, its stupen-
dous importance 10 investors and to
the welfare of the nation are but
dimly realized,
This has prompted the Chicago
Record II erald to furnish in its An
swers By Experts" department a ser
les of articles entitled, "Wall Street
and the Country which is designed
to furnish liberal education on this
vastly interesting and little under
stood subject. They are written by

When He Did Better.

A celebrated bishop once sat through
long and atroclous sermon on hot
summer morning. With an immova-
bic countcnancc he listened to meta
phors that were mixed pathos that
was bathos and humor that was sad.
The preacher was youth just out Of
college-a very conceited youth. He
beloved through his sermon at the
top of his lungs. His gestures Were
violent enough to break his arms. At
every climax he fixed the bishop with
his eye to see If Il suitable impression
had been made,
And at the end of the service this
young snip staggered up to the bishop
and said:
II fancy did rather well today, sir.
Don't you think sof'
Yes" returned the bishop; but you
did better last year.
Last year, said the young man.
"Why, didn't preach ut all last year"
That's the reason said the bishop,
with a pleasant smile.

KEEPING A LOGBOOK.

a little careful attention aud study it's
as easy 70 keep logbook as to eat hot

hazy atmosphere. & means cloudy or
detached. opening clouds; d denotes
drizzling rain; small ]. fog; capital F.,
thick fog Z, gloomy. dark weather; h.,
hail; !, lightning, and III, misty or hazy
so as to interfere with the view.
The letter o represents overcast or
when the whole sky is covered with one
impenetrable cloud. Passing showers
are noted by the letter p, and q indi-
Gates the weather to be squally. Cor
tinuous rain Is indicated by an +, snow
by an and thunder by t. Any ugly,
threatening appearance in the weather
calls for the letter II, and visibility Of
distant objects. whether the sky be
cloudy or not. is represented by the let
ter v a small w is wet dow. A full
point or dot under any letter denotes
an extraordinary degree. AS an exam
pie Of how the letters are used take

The Worlds Greatest
Skin Soap.
The Standard of Every Nation
Of the Earth.
Sale Greater Than the Worlds Product
Of Other Skin Soaps.
Sold Wherever Civilization Has
Penetrated.

Millions of the worlds best people
use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura
Ointment, for preserving, purifying
and identifying the skin, for cleansing
the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff,
and the stopping of falling hair, for
softening, whitening and soothing red,
rough and sore hands, for baby rashes,
itchings and chaffngs, in the form of
baths for annoying irritations and in
Examinations, or too free or offensive
perspiration, in the form of washes for
lucrative weaknesses, and many sana-
tive, antiseptic purposes which readily
suggest themselves to women, espe-
cially mothers, as we'll as for all the
purposes of the toilet, bath and nur-
sery.
Cuticura Soap combines delicate
emollient properties derived from Cuti-
cura, the great skin cure, with the pur-
est of cleansing ingredients and the
most refreshing of flower odours. No
other medicated soap ever compounded
is to be compared with it for preserv-
ing, purifying and identifying the skin,
scalp, hair and hands. No other for
eign or domestic toilet soap, however
expensive, is to be compared with it
for all the purposes of the toilet, bath
and nursery. Thus it combines in one
soap at one price the best skin and
complexion soap and the best toilet and
baby soap ever compounded. Sale
greater than the worlds product of all
other skin soaps. Sold in every part
of the civilized world.

eral hours. he committee went into

on the bill.

developed the fact that there was

and the new school" physicians on
the subject OF representation on the
proposed board of medical examiners.
In closing the debate DIR. f. c. Sweet.

vent any one school of medicine hav-

board.
After the committee went into ex-
ecutive session vote was taken for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
the committee was in favor of Great

the vote was later reconSidered on
agreement that the question should not
