Stocks and Bonds.

New York, March 30.-Today's
stock market was not much more than
q drifting match. and the movement
was not conclusive or convincing at
any time The volume of transactions
shrank to the lowest in many weeks,
Very large Importance was attached
in the discussion about the Stock Ex
change to the threatened stock trans
fer tax as the factor making most for
this sudden collapse in activity While
the amount of the proposed tax is not
regarded as extremely burdensome in
the actual transfer of stockholdlngs
from one owner to another it is gen
orally agreed that it would form 4
serious restraint upon manipulative
operations. There was calling of loans
during the day which necesstated q
shifting of accommodations eyes,
where renewals were secured without
an advance in the rate The selling
pressure was light but there was no
disposition to buy on a large scale
and a week bank statement on Sat
nrday is taken for granted. revival
of the Southern iron merger talk
alarmed the shorts in those stocks and
had some sympathetic effect on the
general market The greater tran
guilty than was expected in the call
money market also contributed to the
late firmness.

The Children of Age.

Really this is very confusing. Here
is DIR. Osler saying that a man isn't
good for much after he is forty while
e. l.. Redfeld. a civil engineer of Chi
cago, has accurately figured it out
that a man isn't fit to be a father UNI
til he is past forty.
"Savages marry savages in mere
youth and other savages are born, =
he explains in the Chicago Tribune.
while David was the eleventh son of
his father, and Davids son Solomon
was born when the Psalmist was
fifty-tWo years old. Moses was born
tS5 years after the birth of his great
grandfather, while the modern Moses,
Abraham Lincoln, was the product of
4 grandfather and grandmother each
the baby of their respective families,
md of q father and a mother each the
youngest child Of their families. Ben
iarnin Franklin's ancestors in the
male line on the Franklin side were
the youngest children for five genera

bon was fifty-one years old at his
boys birth and himself was the twen-
ty-f1rst child of his own family
Looking for the reckless, adven-
turous, dissipated, aggressive types of
men, / have found extreme youth in
their parentage almost without excep-
ton, while the great thinkers and
philosophers of the world have been
born of parents who have reached
mental maturity. No man should be
allowed to marry before he is twenty
five years old, and no woman until
she is twenty years at least. If no
person in the United States were al
lowed to marry before the age of
twenty-five years two such genera
tons of such marriages would wipe
up virtually all the poverty crime
and viciousness of the country. When
a parent, especially father, has
passed fifty years old, he is at the
maximum of his knowledge and ex-
perience. He is inclined to morality,
philosophy and greater tolerance of
the world and its vagaries, He has
time for thinking and self analysis.

time in life reflects his acquired ma
