ADVANCE IN STOCKS
NOT FOLLOWED I UP
Thought to Be More. Prudent to
Await Result Of Resumption
of Currency Payments.
CONDITIONS MUCH EASIER

NEW YORK. November aa.--Tho
stock market showed no disposition at
any time today to follow up the adj
vance OF Saturday. The movement
seemed to be considered ill-advistd on
second thought, en- the ground that a
resumption In active advance in stocks
would be premature before the banking
/, operations OF the country have been
restored to normal.
An early resumption of cash pay
sments by the banks all over the coun-
try is now looked for with growing
confidence. but the conditions which
!. the resumption may disclose are await
cd before seeking 10 enter on specula-
tive commitments. There was further
distinct easing of the premium on cur
rcncy to-day, and this was the most
Important development of the day.
0Dturday's large gold arrivals We're
aided to by subsequent arrivals. All
e the days arrivals of gold in the
London market We're taken for New
York account but with so little dis
turbance in that market that the gold
was allowed To go al a sharp recessionI
in the price. The accretion of gold tol
the Bank of England reserve FROM
other sources went on. and that insti-I
tuition released s5,000,0 600 of gold TO the |
open market that had been ear
marked or held apart for the amounti
of India Council. International ex-
change houses In New York reported
that additional supplies of gold were
offered to their agents in France to-
day, but that the decline in the pre-
MUM on the currency here wiped out
the margin of profit on closing the
transaction.
These are all highly significant oc-
currences, and mark unmistakabiy thei
loosening of the tension of The cur
rency famine The call money market
also was appreciably easier to-day.i

The Dread of Death.

Granted that it is the will of God that we shall remain on earth and live our appointed lives there, it is essential that mankind should feel the dread of death. Without that dread the world could hardly remain peopled. The dread of death is to the soul what the law of gravity is to the body. It an- chors us to the earth. Without that dread to weigh us down and keep us to the globe half mankind would be driy- en by curiosity, by the love of change, by the dread of ennui, by what Bacon calls "niceuess and satiety," to push open the closed door and see what is beyond. Children and a few very hap py and easily pleased people might perhaps say they would not explore farther and that they were perfectly content with things as they are.-St, James Gazette. .a# . ... --E

Pastry Making In the Early Stages sf
 English Cookery.

At very early period the orientals were familiar with a kind of pastry, g mixture of -four, oil and honey, and for centuries pastry making went no further, even among the nations in the south of Europe. But in the beginning of the middle ages a change began to take place in the method of mixing the ingredients. and some other substances were brought into use. Butter. eggs and salt found their way into pastry making, and the result was a manifest improvement Paste next came to be used as an inelosure for meat. seasoned with spices, etc. Afterward 1t went a step further, the next use being for the inclosure of creams, fruit, preserves, etc, and later still 1t began to take the many fanciful shapes in which it has since been commonly found. In the early stages of English cookery the pastry cases were called coffins or "cofynes" and were made in various sizes from "gret cofynes with lowe hddes'' for the ''tartes of ffiesche' to the "smalle coffynes" for "tartolettes" of "fische or fiesche," mixed with ''stuf of boylled hgges ground and good powdure and spices"
 Petruchlo in 'The Tanning of the Shrew," 1t may here be noted, calls e little cap "a custard coffin" These cof. fins correspond with the "vol-au-vent- of today.-London Saturday Review.

THROW BABY IN CUTTER"
 SAYS BRUTAL FATHER

LOS ANGELES, July 27.-Police and Humane officers spent yesterday trying to find the parents of a one month old baby girl, who was de- serted late Tuesday evening, but, with the exception Of two persons under suspicion, nothing has 1een found of the fathers and mothers s About 2:3O o'clock Tuesday after noon, while Mrs. Jennie Bertrom of 1417 Pleasant avenue was sitting in the Plaza, Mexican and his young wife approached her, asking that she take care of the child TOT while until they could go to d physician near by. They handed her fifty cents, with instructions to-buy some milk with it if the baby became restless.
 Becoming frightened at the contin ued absence of the parents. Mrs. Der trom began hunting the neighborhood | of the Plaza for them. About 9:SO o'clock she ran across the father and told him to take the baby, but he turned sayagely upon her and ex' claimed:
 eThrow her into the gutter: we don't want her.
 l Thereupon he turned and ran down | one of the dark alleys. Taking the child home, Mrs. Bertrom. cared for her until yesterday morning, when the police officials were notified and the child was taken to the Victoria Home. Speaking of the incident Mrs | Bertrom said:
 What looked to me like man and his wife approached me in the Plaza and asked me to take care of one oi their children for an hour or so, say ing they were going to physician office not far away The wife was livery young looking and carried twC little babies in her arms They were twins, one boy and the other a girl 1 The girl was left with me.
 s"The child is a vigorous, healthy one and has very fair complexion resembling that Of it's mother. whc looked not more than eighteen year: iold I was very frightened over tn, affair. but the baby has had the bes of care"

A Trick That Is Sometimes Played on the London cabby.
 Have you ever tried to play on a cab man that old joke of the Host sover- eign?" It's very funny. A friend tried 1t last summer in London and succeed ed too. He took ''growler'' after mid night at PiccadIlly Circus to go to his lodgings at Bayswater. Remembering the staIeness of the Host sovereign" dodge. he thought 1t would hardly "go down" with a bright, cunning cabby. but resolved to try for the fun of It. Just as be came In front of public house few doors from his home the flare" stuck his head out of the cab window and ordered the driver to halt. 'I say. cabby, I've dropped SOW It must be on the bottom of the cab. Just pull up at that pub till run in and get match, so that can ind the coin. ........ ... ........ a-r....
 "Ail right. sir,'' said the cabby and pulled up opposite the door of the tav- ern. The fare alighted and had taken scarcely three steps In the direction of the pub" when, To. MT.

How Snake Poison Kills.

The action of poisons upon the sys- tenn is and always has been one of the most interesting of subjects. Just how and why It kills have been determined through a series of experiments made by scientists. The following descrip- ton is one of the best and most lucid of any that has been given to the pub lie: ''The venom may be roughly sepa- rated into two parts, one acting upon the blood and the other upon the nerves. When injected it immediately begins to create terrible destruction in the blood vessels. The walls of the veins are eaten away, and an internal hemorrhage takes place. While this Is going on q portion of the venom Is attacking the nerves. Particularly susceptible to its ravages is the 'vaso- motor system, a nerve center which controls the muscles of respiration. Paralysis takes place In these organs, and the victim generally dies from an inability to breathe. ."-Excharge

A Pleasant Sort of Sea.

The power of the surf is a thing about which many of US have but the most hazy ideas, and Indeed the ordi- nary conditions with which we are surrounded prevent us from fully ap- preciating what it can be at times. The people of the island of Chlnco- league, which is about a mile and a half wide, have, however, opportunities for judging this experience, which they must find the reverse of pleasant. On its eastern side and between it and the ocean is Assateague island, which is also a mile and half wide, but the power with which the waves come is 80 great that at some places tie surf sweeps entirely over both islands London Standard.

A passing stranger was attracted by frightfuI screams coming from little house not far from the road. Hur- riedly tying his horse, he ran to the house and found that a little boy had swallowed a quarter, and hts mother, not knowing what to do. had become frantic. The stranger caught the little fellow by his heels and, holding him up, gave a few shakes, whereupon the quarter soon dropped to the floor.

SINKING FUNDS.
They Originated In Scheme Devised ... by Lord Stanhope.


 The general public has no idea of the meaning of sinking fund" The term had it's origin in a scheme de vised by Lord Stanhope in me 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 nI- tional debt By means Of 1t between the years TIC and 1T33 the sum Of S52, ,240,0O0 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, diverting it to other purposes, so that in the succeed ing twenty-five years only S42,JO0,0OO more had been paid of.
 The fund got into a condition SC 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 S5.000,O00 every year at compound interest until with the ac- cumulations the sum amounted to S20,- OOO,GOO, 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: Let a state be supposed 10 run in debt S10,OOO,O0O a year, for which it pays interest at 1 per cent. In seventy years a debt of $7O0,00O,, 600 would be incurred. But an appro- priation of $2,OOOOO0 a year employed as a sinking fund at compound inter, est would at the end of this time leave the nation beforehand S30,000,OOO. "- New York Press. ~
