fallen eleven feet seven inches below
its level at the close Of the year 1886.
the time of the last rise Of the lake.
Many persons attributed this fall to
the draining away Of water used IN
irrigating surrounding lands. but Mr..
Murdoch, Of the Weather Bureau, said
recently that while part Of the fall
may have been due to that. the greater
part, he thinks. was due to the cycle
Of relatively dry weather that has pre-
vailed since 1887. he thinks that q
cycle Of wet weather would restore the
lake to the level 1t occupied in the six
ties and seventies.

Lots Of time for lots Of things,
Though it's said that time has wings;
There ID always time to find
Ways OF being sweet and kind:
There is always time to share
Smiles and goodness everywhere;
Time to send the frowns away,
Time o gentle word to say;
Time for helpfulness, and time
To assist the weak to climb;
Time to gather little flower,
Time for friendship any hour;
But there is no time to spare
For unkindness anywhere.

The Financier's Statement.

NEW YORK Oct 24-The Financier this week says: The most surprising feature of the Banks last week was the almost unprecedent- edly small change of only S3.o0o in the cash reserve. there being a loss of this amount This seems quite inexplcable when the fact Is considered that the traceable movements of money during the week showed an estimated loss of S3, e34. 900 of cash. On the inter-bank movemnt alone the loss was s5 Ie5, 900 and this included the transfer through the sub treasury of $500. 900 to Baltimore and of SI- 5000 In New Orleans. It is possible that the average system may partly account for the difference between the estimated and the &C., tual loss of cash, the movement to Baltimore through the treasury and directly from the banks having been heaviest early In the week but that to New Orleans was cont .nued each day. recording transfers to that point. Large receipts by two of the banks aided in offset ting losses by the other institutions The re- quired reserve was reduced $5l4 200 through the decrease of S2. o56. 800 in deposits and de ducting from this the sum the loss of S3, 900 cash as above leaves $5 200 as the increase In surplus reserve to sI7.e44 45o Calculated upon the basis of deposits. less those of S37- POO. 400. If the surplus is S27. PA $50. It may be noted that the statement fails to balance by SeS7, 800. The total resulting from the de- c ease of Si. 6,5oo in loans and the loss of S3 900 cash calling for sl I6o 500 less de- pcsits, whei eas the decrease in this item was S2. o56, 800, The SUI plus reserve of SI7. .944,- 450 above compared with Si7 7SI, ,475 in the cor; esponding week a year ago. It should be stated, however. that the plus was aug mented In that week of leS2 through the dis bu' seuent by the Seer etary of the Treasury of about SI7 900, GOO for bonds which he hai purchased with the object of feleving the mon etary situation. The total reserve was thereby announced Sl7.O63. 100 and the surplus Iese, ve by SI2-I73,225 compared with the previcu us week. Among the minor changes shown by last weeks bank statement was an increase Of the deposits by Sl7.3s4.4oo. an Increase of S59o,oCo compared with the previous week; the excess is the largest reported since July
 |. The public deposits show a decrease of S37, 500 The daily average of clearlngs last week was SI69 GOO, 900. against SI37 o40o,- 900 in the previous week. and the clearings on Saturday refiecting the business Of Friday were Sl66,2I6I37, or s23, coo. 900 below the daily average. Comparisons of changes in the item of loans show that five banks gained S2oo. 900 net and of these institutions largely in creased it's discounts. Three of these banks lost $500. .ooo net in cash.

Women Walkers

In Berlin a number of young women employed in millinery establishments re- gently got up contest to see who among them could walk the greatest distance in tWeI.ty-four hours. Unfortunately the novelty of the match excited so much public attention that the police inter- Sered after the first five and twenty miles had been covered on the ground that 1t wac impeding the traffic. It is said that both the emperor and empress were among the spectators witnessing the start.
 A pedestrian match that succeeded in Berlin, however. took the equally novel form of twelve ladies under twenty years of age competing with twenty la dies of forty years of age in walking fifty times around one of the principal squares. The contest was decided at night, and. contrary to the general expectation, re- suited In an easy win for the more ma ture competitors.
 Among English women the palm for exploits of this nature should undoubt- edly go to a certain Mrs. Sharp of Brad ford. The performance by which she Is best remembered among pedes trians was the truly remarkable one of walking a thousand miles in a thousand hours. Sc far as mere speed ie concerned this is perhaps nothing out of tho common The noteworthy point about however, con. sIBts in the extraordinary endurance thai was required 10 carry it out wlthout breaking down.

Not only does he offer free to sufferers these means of learning the true char acter of their ailments, Dr. Hatha way also makes 1t a principle of his profes- sion to charge nothing for expert opil- ion and advice. whether the patient secs him personally or writes him about his case. Considering that pr. Hathaway is Americas most skilled and reliable, spe- cialist m all forms of chronic diseases, the sick will appreciate how much this means for them.
