communication, together with a

and the conductor, throughlSno

far to the front to enable me to
get to him. Therefore, now re-
NIT you the amount Of my fare,
and beg to say that I would have
so sooner had it not been that I
was out of town.
This unusual occurrence was re-
ported by the general manager
to the'road's board Of directors,
with the result that, by their in
struction, an annual pass was sent
to the honest patron, together
with a letter couched in complim.

must have recounted his expert

SINKING FUNDS.

They Originated In a Scheme Devised
by Lord stanhope.
The general public has no idea Of
the meaning Of sinking fund" The
term had its origin in scheme de-
vised by Lord Stanhope In 1716 where
by certain taxes on the South Sea
Bubble) and general funds were made
perpetual, and 1t was enacted that the
surplus should be annually invested
and applied to the discharge Of the ma
tional debt By means Of it between
the years ZIG and 1873 the sum Of
S52,240,000 Of the debt was actually
discharged. So rich became the sink
Ing fund that it excited the cupidity
Of parliament, and the grafters laid
violent hands on It, diTerting it to
other purposes, so that in the succeed
ing twenty-five years only S42,500,0O0
more had been paid off.
The fund got into condition so
wretched that it did little In time Of
peace and nothing in time Of war to
discharge the national debt Dr.. Price
persuaded William Pitt to adopt his
plan of investing S5,Oo0,o00 every year
at compound interest until with the ac-
cumulations the sum amounted to $20,-
100000, when it was to be invested at
simple interest only, leaving the
amount Of interest annually redeemed
at the disposal Of parliament. DR.:
Price said. "T,et q state be supposed
TO run in debt $10,0O0,000 a year, for
which it pays interest at 4 per cent.
In seventy years debt Of $70O,0OO-
600 would be incurred. But an appro-
priation Of 100000 a year employed
as a sinking fund at compound inter
est would at the end Of this time leave
the nation beforehand $4,000, ,OOO."-

One of the oldest nuts in the world IS the candle nut, which grows in the Pacific islands. The name is derived from the fact that the kernel is so full of oil that when dried it can be stuc k in a reed and used as a candle.

 The husk of the nut and the gum which exudes from the tree have me- dicinal values, while the burned shell IS used in making an indelible ink with which tattooing is done.-Ameriean Fruit and Nut Journal.

LITTLE COPPER
 IS BEING BOUGHT
George Walker Believes Producer and Consumer Are Getting Down to Busi- ness-Attitude of Labor Contributes to Uncertainty in Stock Conditions.

In his letter in the Boston Conner cial of August 2i, George l.. Walker says of the copper metal and share situ, atiou:
 There were no new developments in the copper market this week and the further adjustment of prices is still pending until the entrance of the large consumers into the market. Inquiry for copper, however, was moro active than in several weeks past and the producers and consumers are now getting very near to business Tho producers are confident that the unsatisfactory con ditions that have been existing will soon come to an end. Both the consum. CTS and producers agree that an adjust mcut of prices to a basis that could be maintained over the end of the year would help business materially. There is large amount of what might be called current or regular business that has been holding off, waiting for more settled conditions in the metal market. hence it would seem to be of the ut most importance for these interests to arrive at an adjustment of stable basis of prices as soon as possible.
 The leading producers quote a nom- inal price of 2lat to % cents for Flee. trolytic copper, and for the present no large amounts of copper are being of fcred under that price. It would takc very little buying to absorb all the small lots of copper that might be ob- tained underl9 cents. The Lake pro- ducers continue to quote a nominal price of % cents for Lake copper.
 The Copper Share Market
 There is absolutely nothing upon which to base an active market in cop per shares at the present time and, in thc absence of any pronounced infu- cnces that might tend to depress or raise quotations for the copper stocks as such, the trading lacks both energy and ! breadth and merely follows the course | of the general market in a dull and apa- | thetic manner
 The crash in prices which terminated | this week was what I feared months ago | when I pointed to the distrust and un easiness that were being engendered ! by the attitude of the president toward | corporations It has resulted in such . a general loss of confidence that the . railroads have been unable to sell bonds or borrow money to pay for those ex- tensions of lines and increased equip mcnt which arc necessary in q country of growing population and expanding prosperity. I know of a score of in- stances where industrial enterprises, which together will give employment to thousands of men, are held in check by inadequate railroad facilities, and the cases where shipments of ore, coal and other products are made impossible through inability of the railroads to supply ears are almost numberless. The explanation of this situation is found in the destruction of investment conf
