Holding For a Rise.

To hold stock for a rise requires
thorough knowledge of the property
represented, certainly that it's merits
are such as to carry it eventually to a
higher value. and mind sufficiently
serene and firm to witness undisturbed
the ebb and flow of market prices. It
is by this policy of patience and seren-
ity that the Rothschilds and others
have made great fortunes by locking
up stocks when they were cheap and
awaiting the progress of the years to
give them value. How much can some
times be made In this way may be
judged from the fact that an investor
who had put $36,S75, including COM
missions, into 1000 shares of American
Smelling common. stock when it was
selling for 1864 in October, 1908, would
have been able to realize Sl51 900, or a
profit of $4,000, Ia November, 1905.
Yet it is doubtful If one man in Amer
lea outside of original holders, who
were unmoved by market fluctuations,
had the patience and foresight to pur-
sue this course.-Charles A. Conant in
Atlantic.

AT THE THEATERS
Vaudeville at the Phillips.

One of the best recommendations
of a vaudeville bill is the comment
made by those who have attended a
performance, and juggling by this the
New Phillips has one of the hest this
week; one, in which every patron
finds something to his liking. for
there is sufficient variety to please
all. A good bill, including Edgar
Guyer, former Richmond boy. has
been secured for next week and will
be announced in the Palladium in due
time. Guyer is a iuggler and eouili-
brist who has made fine record for
himself and special interest attaches
to his coming.

The underlying thought which has in

the gorgeous pages which pass beyond
our power of appreciation and defy
our comprehension. To the antients

the gems of thought. The book was

tai gold upon parchment soft as velvet
made from the skins of still born kids,
while upon the ample margins could
be displayed miniatures and decora-
tons portraying the highest skill of the
great artists of the day.
The earliest example of illumination
is a papyrus In the Louvre in Paris,
which contains paintings representing
funeral ceremonies executed in bright
colors, touched in its high lights with
penciled gold Although we find fire.
quent mention of some poem written
in gold, of some magnificent volume or
codex of colored vellum or some col
lection of miniatures or of some mag
nificent gift book decorated for prince
or church, yet this simple, imperfect
fragment at the Louvre is the sole
tangible evidence we have that so
obvious form of artistic culture as
the art of illumination was known to
the long period of classical antiquity
or to the later luxuries of the life of
Athens and Corinth, of Pergamum and
Ephesus, of Cyzicuus or Rhodes, SYRIA
cuse or Tarentum, of Sybaris, of Pom
peii and of Rome.
With the invention of printing the
demand for the illumination and the
scribe became gradually less, and final
ly by the end of the sixteenth century
illumination ceased to be an art. The
book as the developer of the people liz
science and literature and in learning
generally had crowded out the book as
an object of art 1t need not have
done this, perhaps, but as matter Of
fact it did-Boston Transcript.

HC.T AND COLD WATER.
How to Use These Remedies to tho
Best Advantage.

Hot or cold water is excellent as an
application for Inflammation, conges-
tons or abrasions, but how many peo-
pie know which to apply in particular
cases while awaiting the arrival of
medical relief? Not many, and the mis-
takes made in some instances are lu-
dicrous.
Take the barber, for example, who
has cut his patrons face. He generally
washes the face with a towel soaked
in warm water, often pressing it right
into the injury, and then wonders why
the blood flows from the cut so freely.
In ninety-nine cases out Of hundred
if he had used cold water, and the
collier the better, the blood would
have ceased to flow from the injury al
together, as the cold would have a ten
dency to contract the openings in the
torn blood vessels. In all cases of such
cuts or abrasions very cold water will
if it doesn't stop it altogether, and yet.
singularly enough, boiling water will
have the same effect.
Water below the boiling point in
creases the flow, but above that de.
gree decreases it. In surface infiamma-
tons or congestions cold water ought
to be used, while if the condition is sit
uated below the surface hot water is
necessary as an application because ii
draws the blood toward the surface
and thus stimulates the circulation
through the part where it is most
needed.
In cases Of assesses or pimples
with pus forming in them, but which
have not yet come to head, the secre
ton of pus can be rapidly increased
and the duration of the annoyance
thereby decreased by applying hot wa
ter to them at frequent intervals.
Where the eye is infiamed or smarts
after a period of eye strain. such as
night work often induces, hot appli
cations are the things for relief. but
the water used should be gradually
allowed to cool off toward the end
Tired eyes will invariably be rejuve
mated by adopting this method Of treat
ment, and many headaches resulting
from such a condition may thereby be
prevented or cured.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat

"When we travel, Frances, safe out

washington, july 5.-A cablegram
was received at the state department
from the United States consul
general. Gordon Paddock, at Seoul,
explaining that the placing OF police
guards by the Japanese around the i'm
perial palace was with the purpose of
preserving order and to ensure the
safety Of the person of the Korean
emperor.
While there is some ignorance here
as to what is going on in the troubled
court at Seoul, it is the belief Of off,
Gals that the Japanese who are
charged with a practical protectorate
aver the country, have discovered that
the native palace officials have been
secretly fomenting a rebellion with
the intention of dispossessing the
emperor and incidentally driving the
Japanese out of Korea

COUNCIL CANNOT DISCRIMINATE

The fool story that the common coun-
Gil of this city will discriminate against
the upper wards because they went
"dry" at the recent election, and de-
prived the city of certain amount Of
revenue. besides compelling it to refund
a certain portion of saloon license money,
is an insult to that body. Street i'm
provements paid by the abutting prop
erty has no possible bearing upon the
situation, and if such was the case, the
council would not be so idiotic as make
a deliberate case of reprisals against a
community for expressing its own cor.
porate desires under the terms of a
law made and provided for that express
purpose. The council will do its entire
duty by that and every other section of
the city without regard to such matters.
And if it did not, it would soon hear
from the people Disseminated against, as
well as from all other citizens who stand
for fair play.
