been sufficiently applied for the pres.
cnt the actual factors in the days
stock market were somewhat mixed
but speculative sentiment was unde-

sustained
Many of the high priced stocks
which suffered most acutcly in the
recent forced liquidation by reason
Of unstable height to which they had
been pushed made notable progress
today in retracting their heavy dc.
cline. Reading, Union Pacific,
Smelling and Amalgamated Copper
retained their position well in the
forefront of the speculative move
ment. The activity of the demand
fell to some extent late in the day,
but prices were firmly maintained
aud the closing tone was strong.

country Mr. Sousa believes that people have given up singing and will give 1t up more, because of the use of the photograph. Senator Shoot, however thinks the people do not sing much as formerly Is that they do not live 'so close to nature"
 Mr. Sousa will agree that the photograph gets away from nature and whether Is the effect of the loss of taste for singing Mr. Sousas contention is the tangible Laying aside, as undoubtedly does the composer of the pirated marches and dance music the personal question, what Is important to decide Is whether the human voice Is really becoming neglected and the human songster extinct
 By analogy 1t may be that people still walk, in spite of automobiles; the wind still blows, in spite of electric fans the egg still hatches In spite of the in cubator. Mechanical music may be destructive of simple oldfashoned ways than the automobile the cleo trio fan the incubator. The wisdom of Sousa plus Shoot may be above analogy and superior to the sderaton of the plain But If there Is tnge in the idea that the songse Is senced by the gritty revolutions of photographic record willing to sit by and watch Mr. Sousa struggle like Sam with the Phsne reproductions be they dance music march, of the manufacturers of ready-made song- Chicago Post.

LoNDoN's DESERTED MANSIONS.
One Fashionable Residence District
 Falling OutsO Of Favor. HD''

Various reasons are assigned by those most directly .interested-the house agents-for the migration of peo- pie from one of its chief ,centers,. Lan- casbire Gate, says the London Mail One has, only to take stroll through that district of stone palaces to see that 1t seems to have lost favor with not few of its former inhabitants, for in every direction one Is confronted with the familiar black and white sign of the house agent appealing for new tenants.
 The number of those vacant pala- tial residences is increasing surprising ly, and this fact Is having depress- ing effect upon the Maida Vale and Paddlngton rates. The loss last year to Malda Vale rates was no less than f7,O37, and in Paddington f4,971.
 It was learned from house and es. tate agents that the causes of this de- sertlon of the large houses are vari- Ous. One well-known agent attributed 1t to the increasing popularity of flats,  to the servant difficulty and to the general spirit of economy which had been prevalent since the end of the war in all classes.
 Regarding the first, he said that London now possessed magnificent suites of flats, the rents of which ran up nearly to f1,00O. They were ele- gantly fitted, and required far less do- nestle help than the large house. There was no dearth of tenants for houses renting at f1OO year; in fact, for each house of this kind there were score of applicants; it was the f45O to f750 a year house that they found on their hands.
 As for the servant question, many women had told him that "the more servants the less comfort" Many large houses had been almost reconstructed internally to meet the requirements and convenience of the modern ser wants, but all in vain; they would not stay In spite of enormously increased wages.

Leather Brooches,

A hundred and fifty years ago the farm hands and house servants of Eng land were clothed in leather. A good pair of leather brooches was said to pass from father to son as an heirloom. Then boy went to school as well pro. tected as an armored cruiser. The au- thor of "Didlsburye in the '45" offers some observations upon these articles of common wear.
 The test of good pair was to try If they would stand upright of them selves when nobody was in them. If they would do so they were good. strong stuff, and likely to last for many years.
 My father remembered prentice lad coming to his father, whose fond moth CT had provided him with such pair, and they were the means of vast of fun in a game that is unknown In these days, that Is, for the boys to set the brooches upright, and then Jump into them without touching them with the hands. It was probably pair of such leath- CT brooches that the Windsor boy was wearing when George III. asked him if he did not know that the man before him was the king.
 "Yes," said the boy.
 'Then why don't you go on your knees, and you might kiss the kings hand" said the king.
 Because I'd spoil my brooches"
