 The supreme object of the teacher is to cultivate attention in his or her charges. When a child has learned how to pay attention, he has learned how to study and to learn. Object lessons are favorite devices for fixing attention. According to the orthodox theologles, religion has been taught to mankind largely through object les sons, in the form sometimes of "pro- gressive revelations" and the systems of symbols in all religions may be called simply devices for fixing the wandering attention of souls, for their sustenance and lasting benefit.
 We see, year in and year out, the coming and going of beliefs, customs; popular heroes or mere popular pets; best sellers among books; sports, movements and fads of all kinds, which figure prominently only as long as they are able to claim the atten- ton of large groups or of the entire community. The whole system of busi- ness adverstising. and the infinite num- ber of publicity departments-p pub licity as to all sorts of wares and all manner of causes-are nothing but means of securing attention; of spreading through suggestion, Editor ial in the Century Magazine.

! ksy ERDAY,S STOCK MARKET
shrinkage in Activity of Trading-Dis- position Toward Waiting Attitude.

POSAtAVh AVNAAA " NHAA9M5 i<AAAAhuNs
 New York, April 4-The shrinkage in the activity of the trading to-day indi- eated a subsistence of the attempts to advance prices on the part of the pro- fessional party in the speculation which has been prominent in the deal- ings fo- the last few days. A number of factors in the immediate situation proved discouraging to the campaign for the advance and the disposition was shown to adopt waiting attitude. There was a considerable selling move- ment early in the day in the course of profit taking by spectators in doubt ful state of mind. The movement was not very extensive, however, and did not involve any great damage to prices. Sharp breaks in special stocks were a large factor in the general weakness at that time The announcement of addi- tional stock and bond issues by the Col orado Fuel company although involy- ing subscription rights of some value at prevailing market prces for the se- curities concerned was not realized. The Chicago Union Traction stocks, which were rushed LID in the closing dealings yesterday, fell back sharply this morning on the mixed results in yesterdays municipal election in Chi cago. Consolidated Gas also after rise at the opening threatened to renew its weak decline. The wide losses in these stocks were pretty well recovered in the course of the first hour. After that the market was extremely dull all day and moved within narrow limits. Reading made most headway against the depression, although that stock also was forced below last night in the course of the early trading. A widely disseminated 'fip" that the prce was to be put up to TAO during the course of the day attracted a considerable pro- fessional following, as this stock had demonstrated its close control by market pool many times in the past. The condition of the money market was a Encouragement to any extension of the speculation, 19 per cent. being touched in the late furry. The foreign exchange market was little affected in spite of the high call loan rate. The discount ratewas easier both In London and Berlin, and authQrized intimations were given that an additional gold en- gagement for import this week was a possibility. The declaration of only the regular dividend on Atchison seemed to cause disappointment to some holders. The advance in Reading had little ef- feet on the general list and the market yielded again with late furry in call money and closed easy

THE POWER OF ATTENTION.

 Civilization and Culture
 ''Knowledge,' it Is said begins in wonder" But wonder is the result of attention, and by attention the world is moved, benefcently or madly as in the blind and bloody turmoils of the Russian people, attentive at least to their wrongs and the possibilities of liberty. Without the attention of individual and collective minds noth- ing goes forward on an earth so full of objects and ideas that selection must be forced from the outside, or deliberately exercised from the inside, before anything good or bad can be done. It is the business of the good man to study means of attracting at tention to good causes, to necessary betterments, and to all that is fair and lovely and wholesome in this distract ing. distracted and multitudinous uni- verse
 The fact that the mind of man is easily distracted from any subject in contemplation accounts for the slow ness of the development of most nluQS, anu TUT LHS GAtlCihO SiqOWAeSS of the development of the human mind collectively. There are his~ toricaI periods when general enlight- enment seems to have advanced by leaps and bounds, but wf1en one takes oognizance of the tens of thousands of years that man has been at play in the Kindergarten of creation, one is aware of the very gradual and deliberate character of human progress as a whole; and this deliberateness of growth, and the remains of ignorance and superstition even in minds re- garded as educated. come largely from the inability of men to keep their thoughts employed steadfastly on the various objects and problems of mat ter, mind and life The faculty of at tention is strikingly lacking in the savage man; 1t increases as civilization increases, and is large factor in the advance of civilization and of culture,
 When the power of attention is ex- ceptional in the individual, he is set apart from his fellows; he is a genius in the business world, or perhaps poet artist, inventor, discoverer, philosopher, reformer, statesman or conqueror. When the power of atten- tion in community has been stimu- lated by one attentive mind. or by group of attentive minds, the world passes through periods of great men

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
BULLS AND BEARS STRUGGLE
 FOR SUPREMACY.

Market Uneven, Strong at Times, at
 Times Weak-Money High.-19 Per
 Cent. at the Highest--This Caused a
 HaIt-GoId May Come-GOssip of the
 Day.
 The feature of yesterdays stock mar ket was the tightness of money, the price of which late in the afternoon rose to 1s per cent. With this stum- bling block in the way, and with the uncertainty as to the coal situation yet in the air, the market halted and weak ened a shade, but the most noticeable effect was lessening of business. Late in the afternoon the market acted stronger and gains were made in some cases.
 Consolidated Gas, which has recently exercised such an unsettling effect in speculation generally, was strong. Firmness for a time in standard prop critics like Union Pacific, Pennsylvania, Canadian Pacific and the Hill stocks was another matter that affected sen timent favorably, but all these stocks, with others, reacted just before the close, when Reading ran off smartly.
 The outside public did not appear to be doing much in stocks yesterday. The rise in call money to F per cent. early in the afternoon made many persons timid.
 The continued dearness of call money caused much disappointment. The great trouble, however, is that Wall street expected a general easement right aft CT the first of April, when the surround ings did not warrant any such conclu- sion. The money recently disbursed is slow in getting back to New York.
 It was reported yesterday afternoon that more gold would be engaged in Europe next Monday for import to this country. Negotiations to that end were nnder way yesterday, and while no gold was secured. 1t was said that a portion of next weeks arrivals at Lon- don would undoubtedly be secured.
 Amalgamated Copper, which had early been one of the strongest stocks, was later one of the softest.
 It was clear that the market is again largely professional, that prominent in- terests were waiting for fresh develop rnents before doing much
 It looked as If the result of the Chi- cago election had been discounted in advance by the jump in the Chicago Union Traction shares.
 The news that the directors of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company had decided to offer subscription rights to shareholders for $2,0OO,OOO of common stock and $400O,000 of Colorado Indus- trial company per cent. bonds, now in the company's treasury, came as sur prise to Wall street.
 Yesterdays 19 per cent. money rate was the highest since the first week of the year.
 Lots of bullish talk continued as to Union Pacific, but nothing official came out.

Baker Practically Out of Debt.

In striking contrast with the finan-

county presents an Indebtedness on
March /, 1906, of $126,631.61.
Baker county is practically out of
debt and its warrants command a pre-
MUM.
Only few years ago Baker county
was deeper in debt than Grant county
is now, but by good business manage
ment on the part of Judge Travillion
and his able assistants on the county
board, that debt has been wiped out
and Baker county stands at the head
of the list of state counties as regards
it's financial condition.-Baker City

for the liquidation of old claims
against the property, for the salts
