Deterioration Through Alcohol.

From the American Medicine.
The mental deterioration OF old alco-
holics is so well known to every physician.
and is so often brought to his notice in
daily practice, that it occasions some sur
prise to learn that it is not generally rec
ognized by the public who are more con-
cerned with the results OF the acute poi
sonings They know of the loss of judg-
rnent due to even slight overindulgence.
and in self-defense are now insisting upon
total abstinence in their employees The
travelling public in particular demands that
the engineer or ships officer shall be clear
headed and free of alcohol. and the mer-
chant or manufacturer needs clear-head-
edness In his agents. But they all have
failed to realize the seriousness of the
mental changes due to long-continued over
Indulgence simply because these cases are
gradually thrust aside in the struggle for
existence, and are never given an oppor
tunity TO show incapacity In great affairs
needing well-balanced judgment. The eld-
erly men in control of the great affairs
of modern times are temperate or alb
stainers. as a rule, and have retained their
mental vigor by reason of those habits.

String Prepared for Occasion.
The Jews and Infantile Mortality.

LtsIIt NttkIy-
Striking and significant testimony to the
care and wisdom exercised in Jewish home
life and to the excellent and salutary char
acter of the sanitary regulations imposed
by the Jewish faith was brought out in a
recent address by prominent English ply
stefan before Manchester society devoted
to the promotion of improved housing. Ac-
cording to this authority, while infant NOR
tally in Manchester is almost as nigh as
II was fifty years ago." there was one part
of the city where 1t was comparatively low,
and this was in the Jews quarter, where
the mothers stop at home and look after
their children and whose laws in relation
to the vessels in which they keep their food
are very strict" He had found Also that
in Hungary, with its immense Jewish pop
ulation, infant mortality is lowest among
these people.

Missouri Walnut Logs for Germany

From the Kansas City Journal.
There Is carload of walnut logs in Car
thage that are being dressed for shipment
to Hamburg, Germany. the timber having
been purchased by agent who has been
in this section for several weeks. The logs
are from trees cut in the neighborhood of
the head of Spring river and several from
a section just southeast of Aurora. One
OF the latter must have been an immense
tree, as the log that formed the body is
between three and four feet in diameter
These walnut logs, after reaching the fac
tories at Hamburg, will very likely be cut
up and transformed into the most beautiful
veneerirg. and afterward imported into the
United States to be manufactured into fine
and costly furniture. The price paid fer
the logs is SIS per 1,000 feet in the trees
The demand for this nature of timber is
fast blotting from existence the magnificent
groves of walnut trees that at one time
were so numerous in southwest Missouri
But then we still have the persimmon.

The Disappearing Arkansas.


The Arkansas river is the only water
course in Oklahoma ever navigated by
steam 1t has diminished year after year
by pouring its waters into the irrigating
bitches of arid and western plans, until
now often in the summer solstice it is possi-
bic for pony TO pass from bank TO bank
without wetting a saddlegirth. Farther
toward the south, however the river still
retains something of its former volume of
water.

the boats that came out of the Arkansas
were made fast.
The river is so often unfordable that the
maintenance of ferries is a profitable bust
ness. Its quicksands are treacherous a all
times. As a rule these ferries are Drimi-
tive affairs and the one at Ralston, o. T., is
a good sample of the kind. A strong wire
cable is stretched tightly from shore TO
shore and fastened usually to large tree.
The boat is simply barge about thirty feet
wide, with a railing each side. A pulley
with grooved wheel travels the cable, end

that passes over a windlass on The boat.
BY turning the windlass the boat can be
put at an oblique angle TO the current The
force of the latter against the side of the
boat moves IL across the river. This can
not be done, however, when the wind IS
dead against the boat. At such times n
team of horses is hitched to a wire cable
which has been dragged across on the lee
ward trip and the boat pulled across. The
ferryman, as q rule, charges 10 cents for a
foot passenger. % cents for a man on horse

ferryman frequently averages his SIS and

Reactionary Tendency Gains Force sa A Weak Closing.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The reactionary tendency in stocks gained force to-day and was of more influence on specula- tive sentiment than yesterday. A Mon- day reaction is viewed with equanimity during the course of g. rise in stocks, for reasons well understood. But there are less plausible explanations for the carrying over of a selling movement into the second day of the week. The days operations disclosed we'll organ- ized bear party in the trading, and their attacks on prices and the success which met them were testimony to the vulnerable condition into which the speculative situation had fallen. The falling back of prices was not attended with unfavorable news developments, and was clearly due to technical causes. For one thing, the newcomers in the market from the outside public were disappointed at having bought stocks yesterday morning at the top level only to see them decline. There was in con- sequence significance decrease in the outside demand for stocks and an in- clination by the outsiders to sell out holdings.
 The failure of confirmation by official announcements of any of the numerous reports recently circulated begot spir- < it of tirnidfty among buyers. This was the more pronounced in prompting sell ing on account of the large profits shown by the advances which the late- " current rumors had caused. Many buyers were prompted to take profits offered rather than run the risk of the

failure of reported projects to be con- summated.
 The shaty condition of prices yester- day had the effect of inducing the plac- ing Of stop-loss orders to very large extent at prices below the current level as precautionary measure. This con- dition was sufficiently notorious to in- yite aggression by the bears, who could be sure to buy in and cover their shorts at profit, if once these stop-loss orders were uncovered. The, action of the market showed very plainly that raid- ing tactics were resorted to, wide de- clines and sudden recoveries showing the eager haste to cover shorts on the part of the bears. Revently fayorites in the speculation were naturally most vulnerable. and New York Central, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Pennsylvania consequently suffered most severely in the days movements. In the period of recovery special stocks were pushed upwards apparently with the purpose of supporting the market and extending the rally. The feeble rallying power of the market aggraVat- ed the tendency to throw over stocks, and the pressure increased, making low prices for the. day in the final dealings and 8 decidedly weak closing. New York CentraTs loss ran to nearly five points and the other active speculative leaders were down from two to three points.

 and N. Y. Central Were Lively Again
 but Lower-Mexican Central Doing
 Weil-ReadIng and Pennsy-The
 Southern Iron and Coal Properties.
 There was another lively market yes terday but the chief interest was due to the market slump in Union: Paclflc, N, Y. Central, Southern Pacific and other recent leaders. The bears were on deck and for the first time in weeks worked successfully. Nearly the whole list grew weak. Nearly 64,oo0 shares of New York Central were traded in, and nearly a quarter of a million each Of U, P. shares and Southern Pacific Stocks rallied but ruled weak again in the late trading, with New York Cen tral and Union Pacific again under pressure Liquidating sales by promln- ent interests appared to be large. There were no news developments tD account for the change in the market, but traders thought it looked as if the turn" of the prime movers was over for the time being.
 Friends of Mexican Central were Ju- bilant over the statment of earnings which appeared covering January and the seven months beginning with July, net earnings showing, gains for those periods of S2sI,540 and$1 ,091 ,571 respect iyely. The stock, it was urged, was getting out of the woods and with the out look fine. '~- .s s
 Although 15o,0oO shares of Southern Pacific were dealt in by 1 o'clock the stock was not taken in the way 1t was on Monday, and good many who bought then at T2 and higher were in clined to take small loss rather than carry the stock longer.
 The Pennsylvania railroad report for the past year shows a gross decrease of s4,4S1.O00 and 3 net decrease of $1,- 511, 900. The surplus decrease was s, 251,O00, but still with a surplus for the year of $6,220,0O0 and with a total sur- plus of $24,725, ,000 after extra improve ment expenditures during the year of s $6,220, 900. It is reasonable to suppose that these extraordinary improvement expenditures will be capitalized proba- bly, in the proposed new bond issue.
 While the actual results from opera tions by the Pennsylvania last year were regarded as favorable-over g per cent. being earned on the capitai-the pressure against the stock in the mar Ket was the result of the announce rnent that a further issue of securities would be necessary.
