IT HAS A "sToCKINa ROOM"
Unique Apartment Kansas City Bank
Provides for Women.

From the Kansas CITY Journal.
All banks Of any siEs in cities have
stock" rooms. These are OF two classes
one being whore bonds and stocks are ex-
amined by their owners and tho other
where the stock stationery and the like is
kept But only one bank on earth has
STOCKING room, and that bank Is In Kan
sas City.
The stocking room In tho National
Bank Of Commerce Is for the exclusive use
of women of whom the bank has 1900 as
customers. It is one of a suite Of four de-
voted to their USES the others being q 70
ception room. a writing room and q lava
tory, the last being sound proof. walled In
white marble and wholly a gem. But these
rooms though fitted up In mahogany and
panels OF brocaded satin. are secondary to
the stocking room. to which they are
merely adjuncts after ALL
In word. the stocking room is the
apartment into which women go to take
the money they wish to deposit in the bank
from their stockings Now. 1T is jest and
her fortune In her hose, but not many Of
them believe that this is true. Experience
taught the bank officials that 1t was the
case, for many and oft was the query made:
Where can we go to take out our money!"
Hence, when the bank was enlarged re-
Gently, room was provided just for this
purpose. 1t Is extremely private. and is
equipped with chairs and with little foot
rests about the wall at convenient height,
SO that a woman may put her foot on
rest ana secure the funds wherewith to
make her deposit. Although not finished as
yet, the room has already proved it's right
to be and is in constant use.
The bank officials do not look upon the
stocking" room as joke by any means,
but are perfectly sincere in opening it.
They have found it to be a public necessity,
so far their women customers are con-
cerned. But it doubtless is the only room
of the sort in the world.

Arsenic IN EGGS.

Recent Discovery Proves All Living

European Edition New York Herald.
The very important discovery Of arsenic
In human tissues was made by N. A. Gau-
tier of Paris. On taking up quite recently
the study Of this interesting problem. n.
g. Bertrand asked whether arsenic is
primordial element Of tho living cell or
whether 1t answers solely to the need Of a
particular function appearing at a certain

ton is the only one that can be accepted

contains arsenic.
In the course Of a recent scientific cruise
made on board the Prince of Monaco's
yacht, the Princess Alice. NJ. Bertrand,
thanks to method of research remarkable
for its precision and sensibility, proved be-
yond doubt the presence of arsenic in AMI
mails inhabiting the bottom of the sea. and
consequently not to be suspected Of con-
Examination by more or less direct contact
with modern Industrial methods
Continuing still further his researches if
the question of universally of arsenic,
this savant has just pointed out to the
Paris Academy Of Sciences the presence OF
this element in hens eggs. Though all the
parts of hens eggs contain appreciable
quantities of arsenic, the largest proper
ton is found in the yolk: of the two-hun
dredth part Of milligramme found on an
average in an egg, from one-half to two
thirds is found in the yolk. The white Is,
on the contrary. the poorest in arsenic.
These results prove the existence and the
role Of arsenic in all living cells, and give
one the right to consider this body as
physiological element absolutely necessary
to the proper working of the organism.
Apart from their biological interest the
verifications made by M. Gautier in the
first place and afterward by M. Bertrand.
are of great Importance from the point OF
view Of forensic medicine In fact, they
permit of the argument that an isolated
trace Of arsenic in human viscera may have
a perfectly normal origin, and henceforth.
therefore, cannot suffice ground for

PRIVATE WIRE ADvICES.
The Week Has Been One OF Inactivity
and Dizziness.
IPorterheld & Co.'S telegram

IPorterdeld & Co.'S Telegram.l
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Reviewing the
week it has been one of inactivity, dullness
and professionalism. AS the elimination of
a bull market Is always marked by enor-
nous transactions. conversely. elimination
OF the bear market is marked by days of
quietude and few transactions. One year
ago. when the we were at the zenith of
the bull wave, the market was excitedly
active, with prices ranging anywhere from
500 TO $50 a share higher than their pres
ent selling prices. with dullness so well
emphasized that the comparison between
the two periods is almost incredible. While
the dull period may continue some days
longer, the undercurrent OF strength in
several of the leading railways. particularly
noticeable in Atchison, indicates the Gull
mination of the downward movement.
Timorous holders have long since got ont
OF the market and their holdings have
passed into stronger hands. This element
is always the first to be alarmed, and the
last TO enter the bull market. 1t will take
a gradual upward movement of at least 10
points TO get them again excitably active.
but history always repeats itself relative
TO this element and the shrewd conservative
Spectator who buys stocks on the present
depression. when hey are yielding 6 or
more per cent. dividend. will have an op-
portunity TO unload them upon the radical
speculative element at many points profit
in the coming autumn movement. The
week ends with magnificent earnings being
reported from all the leading roads.

ceipts Of cattle thus far this week exhibit a de-
crease of over 400 compared with the same time
last week and an increase OF !, 100 compared with
the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts
to-day were 800 smaller than a week ago and
about the same as a year ago. The supply Of
cattle to-day was hardly as large as expected at
this time in the week and smaller than any day
heretofore this week except Monday. About the
usual variety of cattle was represented, but
there was not a large number that met the re-
quirements of slaughterers in every particular.
The market opened with a reasonably fair de-
mand, principally from local packing houses. for
the thick, fat stock Of prime quality, and all
that answered that description sold usually at
steady prices compared with yesterday. but In
no case any higher. Prices OF this class are
probably 10c to l5c higher than a week ago. but
occasionally statesmen declared they were no
higher. The competition for good heifers was
not quite as strong as yesterday morning and
the cow market for all kinds was inclined TO be
a little sticky. Cattle that were not fully up
to the standard in quality and condition were
more or less difficult TO sell and prices In a gen.
eral way were quite weak compared with those
prevailing the past few days. The country de-
mand for stockers and feeding cattle was not

material change in prices. The bull market con-
