HEARD ON CHANGE

The same condition Is noted relative to
the local stock market as is pointed out in
regard to the larger stock market of Wall
street, and is that the public has not yet
put In an appearance to buy. The revival
of interest on the part of others than pro-
fessional traders has not yet occurred. In
consequence. while there has been q re-
covery In, prices from the low levels of
the recent depression, little actual bust
ness is being transacted.
There are various explanations given for
the state of affairs. Some are of the opin-
lon that buyers are already loaded up with
local securities and can not take any
more. The attitude of the banks is also
represented to be due to about the same
state of affairs, namely, they have about all
the local securities they care to carry as
! collateral.
On that account. It Is stated several of
the financial institutions of the city have
recently bought largely Of bonds issued by
for their surplus funds. The demand from
New York banks Is no longer sufficient te
employ the idle capital and it Is asserted
1t is now used in that way.
On the other hand. 1t is claimed, all local
needs for money are being looked after and
there is an abundance of funds for all
legitimate demands. 1t is evident there Is
difference of opinion on the money Ques-
ton, and especially as to the attitude of the
banks 1t is probable the borrowing class
and the lending class will never come to an
agreement on this important matter.
Generally speaking the local market dur
ing the week was without feature. The
volume OF business was slight and but few
changes were made in the tigures. The
only stock on the list for which there was
any market at current prices was the COM
mon stock of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company.
The demand for this stock was explained
by some as connected with the dissolution
OF the voting trust, which is to occur In
June next and the desire to secure stock
to strengthen certain holdings and prob
ably give the latter the control of the prop
erty,

NEW YORK, April 13.-The bank state

CARE OF THE SKIN.

That Europeans as rule have
healthy skin and glowing commissions
is due in large measure to the fact
that they do not Use poisonous drugs.
such as are usually found in cosmetics
and face beaches.
The principal cause of skin eruptio,s
is poor digestion which results in dis

remedy this one should doctor the
stomach and not the skin. Drinl,
plenty Of water. take exercise every
day and eat nourishing food in small
quantities. These are the golden rules
of health as practiced by wise paonlr.
Sometimes the system needs tonic,
and the circulation of the blood is
doubtless greatly assisted by the use OF

"st;noeth Like a Halter"

For prize offered for the best essay
on the evils of drink about 10000 pu-
nils in the elementary schools of Hull
competed, and extracts from their
compositions were given by Dr. Eccles
in a lecture before the Society For the
Study of Inebriety. He quoted the
following gems, among others:
To-day many people are In jail for
committing suicide while under the In
tluence of drink"
alcohol is mocker. At last 1t
biteth like servant and stingeth like
a halter"
"Alcohol has an effect upon med
ical mans conclusiOns.'
doctors say that fatal diseases are
the worst"
doctors say that the increase death
rate shortens lives"
Some people think that the abuse of
drink is right. Some take it as medi-

Spoke Without a Tongue.

One of the most remarkable cases on
record was that of a woman-well au-
thenticated at the beginning Of the
eighteenth century-who had no tongue
and yet spoke with perfect clearness.
She was brought to Lisbon, in Spain,
by Count d Ericeya, from Monsary, in
the territory of Elvas, Portugal, and
the following account is given of her
by an eminent divine: "She is seven
teen years Old, but does not look more
than seven. She can pronounce dis
tinctly every letter in the alphabet. She
has not the slightest bit OF tongue. but
the teeth in both sides Of her under
jaw turn very much inward and almost
meet. Her chief difficulty is in eating,
for while others move their food WITH
their tongue she is forced to use her
finger. She says that she tastes we'll.
Her voice. though very distinct, is IL
little hollow and like that of Old PEG
pie who have lost their teeth
