AS the case stands, Mr.. Oliver

This factor is the possibility tba

line of the canal construction, h.
will mean an immense revenu,

The clreun and the Arab steed.

Clrcuses are perhaia more to blame for the misrepresentation of the Arab horse than any other source. A friend of mine owns circus, and I saw hls posters a few years ago claiming to ex. hiBit eighteen or twenty of the only Arabian horses brought to America. He said they were captured with great difficulty and brought to New York by a special permit of the sultan; that they were of the family known in bis tory as the eagle feather horses, so much prized in the queen of Sheba's days: that they were snow white, with big markings in their spots of the tip of eagle feathers. We don't have to believe everything we read on the cir GUS posters. In this case am mighty certain these spotted ArabIans" were bought at Albany, Ore The most pc culiar part of this spotted horse busl- ness is this, and 1t is not very strange reason when you know 1t, that spotted anything is created by a mixture of different races or different breeds, and that likely accounts for the fact that the Arabian desert In all its history has never produced a spotted, or pie bald, horse, possible from the fact that there is never any mixture of blood HomcrJDavenport in WOman's Home Companion.

Man and His Dress.

The we'll dressed man wears clothes that no one ever notices; at business, except in the very warmest weather usually dark. No one ever notices clean linen, while linen soiled ever so slightly is very conspicuous. No one ever notices a hat unless 1t is of ultra shape, dirty or shabby. No one ever notices shoes unless they are loud or need blacking or are run down at the heels or shabby. No one ever notices clean finger nails, while those needing attention are always conspicuous. The man should not be lost sight of by the conspicuousness of his clothes, either from being overdressed or shabbily dressed.-Batten's Wedge.

New York, Aug. 10.-There was an
other disorderIy break in the prices
of stocks with the beginning of trad
ing at the stock exchange, which car
ried some stocks down to lower
prices than were touched during the
week.
Speculative sentiment in stock took
fresh alarm in the tone of a statement
by Attorney General Bonaparte, after
his interview with the president yes
terday, in which the aggressive deter
mination of the administration to push
the pursuit of corporations along vari-
GUS lines, was asserted. ...
Holders of securities threw them ON
the market in large blocks. The mar
ket made a temporary stand against
the pressure, but after small rallies
plunged downwards again.
