One can easily imagine that the Judge

spectators burst into applause when a
courtroom bore was subdued in the fol-
lowing effectual way, told in the Chris

were once trying case as opponents.
Mr.. Sloan had habit of puncturing
his address to the court with the ex-
preston, "Your honor, have an idea"
The case had been dragging its weary
length through the hours Of a warm
summer day, when Mr.. Sloan, who was
making what appeared to be an in
terminable argument, said:
"Your honor, have an idea
Mr.. Smith sprang to his feet, assum-
ed dignified position, and with all the
solemnity imaginable said:
MAY it please the court, l move that
writ Of habeas corpus be issued BY
this court Immediately to take the
learned gentleman's idea out of soli-
tary confinement"

The Choice of n Wife.

A German professor selects woman
who can merely stew prunes not be-
cause stewing prunes and reading Pro-
clus make a delightful harmony, but
because he wants his prunes stewed for
him and chooses to read Proclus by
himself. A fullness of sympathy, a
sharing of life one with another, is
scarcely ever looked for except in a
narrow, conventional sense. Men like
to come home and find blazing fire
and smiling face and an hour of re-
Taxation. Their serious thoughts and
earnest aims in life they keep on one
side. And this is the carrying out of
love and marriage almost everywhere
in the world, and this the degrading of
women by both.-From One of Mrs.
Browning's Letters, 1876.

Position In SIeeD.

According to DIR. Fischer Of Berlin,
the most effective position of sleep for
obtaining intellectual rest is to keep the
head low and the feet slightly elevated.
Failing this, the body should at any
rate be horizontal, so as to irrigate the
brain well. The habit of sleeping with
head low and feet high is, according to
the doctor, a remedy for brain troubles
and some internal maladies. 1t can be
adopted gradually.

NEW YORK BANKS.
Contraction of Loans Result of Market
Liquidation.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Financier saws
this wee!.:
he official statement of the New York
associated banks last week showed the
expected contraction of loans as the result
OF stock market liquidation; a smaller gain
In cash than was looked for; decrease in
deposits and a fairly large increase in sur
plus reserve. The loan contraction was
So,7eo,250, following S9,392s 500 in the previ-
Gus week, making little more than fifteen
millions for the fortnight. rejecting the al
most continual liquidation in securities
which has been in progress during this
period.
The net gain in cash was 81, 4O6. 500. which
sum, however does rot include a transfer
of one million dollars through the subtreas-
ury to San Francisco on THURSDAY De-
posits decreased 81 $50 100 which amount
was smaller by S1,T43,OOO than the sum of
the contraction in loans less the gain in
cash; therefore the statement failed to
balance.
The required reserve was reduced
1867 ,615 through the decrease in deposits.
which amount added to the net gain in
cash made s2.O64 175 as the increase in sur
plus reserve to SIS, 100 425. Computed upon
the basis Of deposits. less those of SIG, AS
100 public funds, the surplus is 500, $40 700.
The cash movement for the week was the
most interesting. owing to the fact that in
eratlons indicated substantial gain to
the banks.
The transfer to San Francisco near the
end of the week, as above noted, attracted
attention, but it was explained that Il,
was special transaction due to the fruit
crop requirements. One feature was the
almost daily transfer of public deposits of
interior banks, through drafts upon their
balances with New York correspondents, in
anticipation of the maturity on May 10 of
the treasury call for fourteen millions of
such deposits.
Another feature was the smaller move
ment OF national bank notes to Washington

more active demand for such notes in the
interior. The daily average of bank clear
ings was 1885,. 100000 against $36S, 900 900

HEARD ON CHANGE.

When gas stock was soaring Skyward
then some of the brokers, who don't always
label their remarks, and SO sometimes it Is
hard to know whether they are joking OF
not, explained it by saying there was 60
ing to be an extra dividend, as President
Mclean wanted to spend the summer in
Europe and would need some money.
Then when the stock reversed and started
the other way, it was explained that 1t
was brought about by some of the stock
holders, who were afraid that Mr.. Mclean
would get off to Europe before he arranged
for an extra dividend, and that his at
tention might be called to the subject by
the sudden drop in the market price.
A calculation has been made that if 1t
should happen that Chip" as Mr.. G. Bowie
is called, and Ben as Mr.. Benjamin Wood
ruff is greeted by his friends, should happen
to come to the exchange with one of those
big orders, and on one day, that the vol
ume of the trading would swell to ag-
gregate that would beat all records. Thus
far the rule has been followed that when
Chip is buying or selling Ben is not
interested in the market to any extent, and,
of course. vice versa.
