Losing Ones Temper,


A person complained to Socrates that a
man had not returned his salutation and
seeming to be angry about it, Socrates
said to him: 1T is an odd thing that II
you meet man Ill conditioned In body
you would not have been angry but to have
met a man rudely disposed in mind pro-
vokes you"
This means that bad temper is like
headache, fever or q fit Of rheumat ism
and that ones attitude toward 1t should be
that OF sympathy and sorrow, and not of
anger or resentment A bad temper ia a
rheum or microbe in the blood. A man
cannot help 1t. 1t is a fate that has been
decreed against him by many conditions.
We use the term bad temper In its accus-
toned sense. but really there is no such
thing. Temper is equilibrium, evenness.
balance. pOise. and when this condition Is
disturbed man Is said to lose his temper
and take on the unnatural condition, which
is disease.
So when a man loses his temper, he loses
his health, and thus becomes an object of
sympathy. And as a man who Is sick
loses his temper. man who flies into
a passion Is weaker for 1t afterward One
who is surly. sour, Ill natured is always a
weak man. Whatever he gains In the
world Is at the expense Of self-respect and
personal influence. It Is hard for a man
to hold his temper through disappointments
and amid dislikes There is a spell that
takes him unawares. 1t IL misfortunate
and not fault. but II 1t can be ayerted
like other distempers, by good habit and
hygenic living, it becomes a fault, and the
more grievous because 1t can be cured by
patience and kindness. for the loss of one q
temper means the loss OF these.

THE COTTON MARKETS,

NEW YORK, August 1O.-The cotton mar.
ket opened steady at an advance Of 1 point
on September but to points lower on the
new crop months. which was not as good
as due on the cables. Prices rallied after
the opening on covering and a little buying
for turn and during the middle of the
morning were about unchanged to, point
higher. but there was no aggressive buying
for an advance, and the tone Of the market
was barely steady at the advance, owing
to the continued good weather and fear of
spot weakness as the new crop reaches the
market.

NEVADA MINING STOCKS.
Unusual Activity and Strength fol
This Season-Boom Expected.

Unusual Activity and Strength for
This Season-Boom Expected.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
GOLDFIELD. New, August 1O.-operators
In Nevada stocks have been astonished at
the strength and activity shown by the
markets both east and west during the past
week. Dizziness with sagsing prices has
been the rule heretofore at this season.
largely the result of the extreme heat of
the desert and consequent Inactivity In
mine development. The month Of August
has always seen the lowest prices Of the
year and the experienced ones who sold out
last spring with a view to taking back the
stocks this month are now finding that
they can only get them by bidding UP the
prices
The stocks with some exceptions are
much lower than their prices Of the early
spring. although six months work in the
mines has greatly increased their values.
A series of untoward events beginning with
the disaster at San Francisco-Nevada' 3
fiscal center-the calling of loans on the
Stocks by the San Francisco banks, the
tight money markets and declining prices
of the New York Stock Exchange have all
had the effect of depressing Nevada stocks
to level considered much below their in
trinsic value. The activity and strength
displayed In the past week Is considered by
the shrewdest operators here as merely in
dicative of what will occur when the real
boom begins. In the past month prices
have been creeping upward so quietly that
1t took the recent burst Of activity to direct
the public's attention to the fact that the
stocks were strong. Prices have advanced
to an average of about 20 per cent above
the lowest in the past four weeks. The
market Is bare of stocks and buying orders
predominant. 1t Is the general opinion that
the stocks will continue to advance
throughout the fall and winter as has been
the rule in former years.

white spruce Is particularly good. Its abil-

well assured. and 1t is unquestionably the

The white spruce Is quick growing tree,
ranking next to the Norway spruce or the
white pine In that respect. This tree usu-
ally grows sixty to seventy feet In height,
but occasionally reaches one hundred and
fifty feet. The color of the foliage is a
light, giaucous green. and when young It
forms an elegant tree OF regular conicai
shape. Its habit Is dense. the branches and
foliage making an almost solid mass. which

Here Is an odd little drama. the sordid

In q London police court. Some years ago
a respectable and thrifty accountant who
had lived a bare. lonely sort Of life was
told by his doctor that he had but a short

devoted himself to getting the most pleas

saved by years Of hard work. But doctors

CONDITIONS OF TRADE.
No Setback to Steady Progress Of
Business,

NEW YORK, August 1O.ADispatches to
Duns Review indicate that there has been
no setback to the steady progress Of bust
ness. and prospects for the future Improve
as the crops are harvested. Collections at
Philadelphia are extremely irregular. Man
ufacturers are well engaged as a rule.
Pittsburg reports a steady demand for
some classes Of merchandise, but most
wholesale lines experience usual midsum-
mer dullness.
Conditions in the country districts around
Baltimore have increased jobbing trade for
fall, but payments are irregular. Trade Is
quiet at Memphis. Payments are slow at
Atlanta, but shipments Of dry goods and
notions are active. Manufacturers of cloth
ing have had a good season at Louisville.
Trade continues favorable at New Orleans.
An unusually large attendance at the fall
meeting OF the Merchants Association at
St. Louis makes the outlook bright for
brisk trade. Retail trade is seasonably
are ample.
Midsummer dullness prevails In retail
trade at Cincinnati, but the iron and steel
industry Is active Some reports Of col
are rapidly distributed at Cleveland Job
bing lines at st. Paul are active. Collec-
lions prompt. Retail trade at Minneapolis
is above the average for midsummer. whole
sale lines are busy and prospects are bright.
Collections at Omaha are satisfactory.
Some decrease in jobbing trade at Port
land. Ore. Is reported. but conditions are
much better than in previous summer
periods
Bank exchanges reflect current conditions
in trade, showing a larger volume Of pay
ments through the banks at nearly every
city than in August of last year or pre-
ceding years, total exchanges this week at
all leading cities In the United States being
81. 483, 165. 729, an increase of 21.5 per cent
over a year ago and 6S.8 per cent over the
corresponding week in 1904.
