Know what a phagOcyte is, and even
numerous physicians try to Get along
without having made its acquaintance,
while most medical handbOols ignore
the thing, and the few dictionaries
mentioning It describe 1t wrongly.
Here Is Prof. Metschnikow's defni-
ton; ''Phagocytes constitute the po-
ice OF the human body. AS q big
city cannot get along without officers
OF the law 20 keep crime and vice un-
oer control and the moral atmos-
phere pure and wholesome, so health
Il impossible unless the phagocytes
exercise their proper functions in the
streets and channels OF our interior.
Phago means eat, dsvouf, absorb;
eyte IL the Greek for cen. The phago-
eyte' then, is an absorbing or eating
eeili one might term Il the scavenger
OF the human body. So much science
recognized long ago; also that its
main food consists of bacteria, the
elements of organs peculiar to the
larvSe stage and other uUxfots mat
ters."

the centennial Of Louisiana purchase.
Thus Jefferson and Napoleon would
represent the period of purchase
When it comes tO-the time Of the ex.
position, however, embarrassment
arises. The exposition will be opened
by Theodore Roosevelt, president Of
the United States. The president of
France is NJ. Loubet. President RoOse-
velt's picture cannot 60 on a stamp;
that would be contrary to a post office
regulation Of such long standing that
it now has the effect of law.
Instead of ROOsevelt's picture, there
fore, il is proposed to use the bust Of
Mckinley, which would be specially ap-
propriate, because Mckinley was pres
ident when the law was enacted giving
the governments sanction to the expo
sitiOn.
But II Roosevelt's portrait is barred
because the postal regulations say that
no living American shall be REPRESENT
ed on q United States postage stamp,
how about Loubet who, to be sure, is
not an American, but who would seem
to be less entitled to the honor?
To be sure, there Is no regulation
against it, but the American people
who use the stamps win hardly take
kindly to the Loubet proposition.
There may be a compromise by pic
turing some typical scene or industry,
just as the Buffalo stamp had a picture
Of a flying railroad train.
Up TO the present time there is no
record of any nation except the
United States issuing postage stamp
bearing the efigy Of anybody but one
of its own rulers.

DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Bear Raid at Opening Resulted in Fractional Declines
Followed After Disappointing Bank Statement
by Further Recessione.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The stock mar
ket in the first part of the brief business
session was almost entirely governed by
the operations of the bear professionals,
who signalized the opening by a raid
that depressed a number of important
railway issues from q TO IL per cent.
The attack upon prices appeared 10 be
chiefly based upon the discoUraging
cabled advices regarding the market for
American railway securities in London
and belief that current expectations of
large decrease in the bank loans and a
considerable increase in cash would not
be realized. The selling pressure in
duced scattering liquidation, and com
mission houses had some selling orders
The principal support appeared to be
derived from the covering OF short con-
tracts
The bank statement proved disap-
pointing in its technical features. Re
serve decreased 81, $4,000, loans in
creased $S,s32, 600, and cash decreased
over $4,000. 900. The appearance of the
statement was followed by a fresh SELL
ing movement by the professional ele-
ment, and the market fell OF quite
sharply. Extreme declines compared
with yesterdays final figures extended
to go Per cent, including Brooklyn

TO PREVENT BURGLARY
Safe-Opening Tools Guarded Day and
Night in Factory.

we have tools for opening safes. :"
Of a safe factory, that no burglar could
inmitate even If he got them. But it would
be one of the most difficult things in
the world for him to get even a sight
of them. The tool room is guarded as
closely as a bank vault A Waterman
stays in it all night We are careful about
employing our men. They must give
bonds and have the best Of references.
The chances of burglar getting into
our employ for the purpose OF learning
our methods is scarcely worth thinking
about
Frequently we have hurry calls for
a man to open a safe where the time
lock has gone askew, or where the
clerk has forgotten the combination.
You can readily imagine that with a
bank or trust company 1t IS an esen-
ttal thing to have the safe open before
business begins. When we send a man
out he takes a wagon load of tools, for
he must open the safe without ruining
the lock, and he does not know pre-
cisely what the trouble is. He carries
photograph OF himself with our Gre
dentials on It. Nor will he open tho
safe while alone. Some bank official
must remain with him. no matter Low
long the job takes. That is for our own
protection. Some queer alleged rob
berries have been charged TO men sent
out to open safes.
ITO a mechanic in our business II
is laughable to read that a full kit

and burglars don't work that way. If
they care TO take chances by blowing I'd

ter; but those fellows nearly always get
caught.
"a police officer told me that burglars
make their own tools. The big crooks
are all spotted and are afraid TO go out
and buy the material for them Some
OF them send their wives and children.
As general thing they don't work in
New York. A man making tools in

ELBOWS ON THE TABLE.
Habit of Women Attributed to Jeweled
Bracelet Pendants.

II the social curriculum still includes
such instructions as Don't put your
elbows on the table" and When walk
ing and standing keep the elbows close
20 the side" few persons outside of the
nursery think OF paying any attention to
them. An English woman stopping in
New York drew attention TO this inter
esting circumstance the other day
Il have been very much surprised
said she, ''at the way American women
sit with their elbows on the table on ell
occasions.
Everywhere they do it in private
houses and in restaurants, at the most
formal breakfasts, luncheons. dinners,
suppers. When one hand is in use they
lean on the other elbow, and whenever
they get a chance. as between courses.
both elbows are propped on the table
and the hands clasped under the chin.
THE other day I went past one of the
Fifth Avenue restaurants at the dinner
hour, and at nearly every one of the
window tables was a woman leaning on
her elbows. Why, even in some of the
smartest photographs I have seen of
late women are posed with clasped
hands, leaning their elbows on a table
in front of them. And yet probably
those very women were brought up
never put their elbows on the table"
The American to whom the English
woman was speaking admitted. with a
laugh, that everything she said vas
true.
II find myself doing the same thing"
the American confessed. especially
since I came into the possession OF a
diamond pendant bracelet.
The growth of the habit. 1 think,
dates from the time that the very slen-
der chain bracelet, wound sometimes
twice around the arm and finished with
a jeweled pendant. came into fashion
AS a rule. the weight OF the pendant
swings 1t toward the under part OF the
wrist; therefore it is seen 10 better ad-
vantage when the arm is raised.
Many of these ornaments are superb.
and possibly the owners think IT would
be an awful pity not TO show them at
their best had no idea. though. that
the habit had become so general that
stranger would notice it,
"GeneraI!" echoed the English wom-
an. why, 1t seems 10 me an exception
to find a New York woman who can get
through a meal without planting her
elbows on the table. Just look for your
self."-New York Sun
