duced the shortage in October, com.
pared with September The net re-

approximately G9S,93S barrels in Oct

o record breaker
The gross output Of the Gulf coast
region in October amounted to APP
proXimately l,54g,0O0 barrels against

nings wells.
The gross movement and consump-
ton in October amounted to approx

NO MOTIVE POWER
Absence in Volume of Transactions
Failed to Give the Stock Market
Any Headway.

| New York, March 15.-There was
! not sufficient motive power in the vol
ume OF transactions today TO give the
upward movement Of prices on the
stock market much Roadway. Re-
covery was also impeded by continued
| liquidation in some public utilities
stocks. The dizziness of the market
was so extreme as TO leave trading
absolutely idle for long periods. The
continued collapse in Chicago Union
Traction shares caused some anxiety
as TO the possible consequences where
there securities might figure as
basis for credits The relapse in Peo-
pies Gas was regarded as sympa-
thetic, partly on account of liquidation
induced by the fall in traction shares
and partly by The sentimental effect Of
evidence offered of disastrous con
sequences possible from hostile muni
cipal action.
Along the same lines was a report
that railroad officials both of west
ern and eastern lines are discussing
the adyisability Of voluntary rate re-
duction as a concession 10 public op-
inion and a possible means Of averting
some of the proposed measures of re-
striction or regulation of corporations.
The. practically stagnant market
was attributed partl yto the reassemb
ling of the United Mine Workers con
vention and a desire To wait the out

treasury took upwards of a million
dollars from the money market on the

The influence Of the collapse in Chi

phasized by the late rise in the call

why the Hair Turn. Gray.

The color Of the hair depends on lit
tie granules, which can be seen If the
hair be examined under powerful MI
croscope, says st. Nicholas. Sometimes
the hair may become white in night.
Brown-SeQuard tells us that when he
was As years old his beard turned white
in two days. This took place when he
was perfectly well and without any
especial cause. Sometimes, however,
sorrow or illness produces the change
earlier in life than it would usually
take place.
AS to the cause, some have said that
the hair becomes filled with small air.
particles which make it look gray; 9TH
ers have said that the outer part of
the hair becomes altered SO that 1t Ia
like ground glass and you cannot see
the color. But man by the name of
Metchnikoff tells us that the real rea-
son is because small movable bodies in
the hair devour the grains Of coloring
matter and move them to the root Of
the hair. Sometimes polsons In dis.
ease, or some result of sorrow, bring
about an effect upon these small mi.
grating bodies (cells), causing them to
become active In the above fashion.
That is said to be the reason why the
hair grows gray.

Gov. Blanchard, of Louisiana, was
describing the precautions that GER
tain veteran physician had taken
against the spread of contagious dis
ease.
Knowing the people he had to deal
WITH" Gov. Blanchard said, ..he saw
that his rules were carried out before
one of-these people left their homes.
They had tricked him in the past. He
would not be tricked again. He was
like the Camden clergyman of my boy
hood.
'srhis clergyman once married GER
tain huckster who, after the ceremony,
declared he was unable to pay the
wedding fee, and SO, willy nilly, the
clergyman had to let him off.
"Some years later the good man
found the same huckster before him
with another woman His first wife
had died. Now he desired to yoke with
u second.
The minister was willing enough to
remarry the man, but this time he
would take precautions.
$50, leading the bridegroom to one
side, he held out his hand and said in
n low voice:
".Nfy fee
cob, yes, of course said the huck-
ster, confusedly, and he placed bank
note in the ciergyman's palm.
"sThank you,' said the clergyman,
with a bland smile. THAT is for the
first time. Now we will have the fee
for this occasion, please"

try, doctor practiclng in a town near
Manchester, England. has become the
victim Of peculiar and painful inoc-
ulation. While breaking tiny phial
containing lymph for the purpose Of
yaccinating an infant, a particle of
glass few up and struck him on the
pupil of the eye. Adhering to the glass
fragment was an almost microscopic
quantity Of calf's lymph.
The doctor realized the danger of
vaccination to which he was exposed
and Immediately bathed the eye. So
tender, however. is tue membrane of
the eye, that the glass made minute
scratch and day or so afterward
the usual symptoms which follow inoc-
ulation, gradually appeared. The pain
and discomfort which ordinarily arise
from the operation in this instance are
acutely aggravated, and he is going
through exactly the same process as
II he had been vaccinated on the arm.
He cannot sleep and in consequence the
eye is never at rest, but 1t Is not con-
sidered likely that the eye will be i'm

sitting on the river bank, when they
heard the cry of frog in distress.
Following the direction from which the
sound came, they discovered a snake
In the act of swallowing n frog.
Just then another frog, evidently at
tracted by the distressing cries of Its
mate in Jeopardy, hoped up to the
scene Of action. For a moment 1t sat
blinking ut the enemy; then leaped for
ward, seized the snake by the neck and
tugged 1t into the river.
The water quickly poured between
the snakes distended jaws, and 1t was,
Of course, compelled to release Its VIC
tim in order to escape drowning. This
1t promptly did, and the liberated frog
swan away with its plucly mate; while
the batllcd snake wriggled, as best 1t
could, to the shore.-Woman's Home
