STERLING SHARP REACTION

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK; December 11.-While the
dealings in today's stock market pro-
duced some further extensive declines. 1t
was nevertheless the fact that the mar
ket displayed somewhat better degree
of rallying power than was evinced yes
terday. AS was the case then, the high
rates prevailing for money on call con-
stituted the chief topic of discussion. and
might be named as the dominating inf1u-
ence in the dealings.
further factor in the course of the
market was a persistent report of the
serious indisposition of the head of the
Union Pacific system. although the rumors
in this respect found only negative
verification at his business office.
The London stock market was dull and
heavy in connection with the progress
OF the fortnightly settlement upon the
stock exchange and operations here for
foreign account were confined to the sale
of a few thousand shares of stocks.
further sharp reaction was noted in
the rates for sterling exchange, and there
were no additional engagements of gold
for import. The premium on currency re-
manned in the neighborhood of 1 per cent.
While many extensive declines took place
in the stock market, the tendencies of the
latter were by no means so steadily down.
ward as was the case yesterday
One of the most extensive losses suffered
by any particular stock took place in
Sugar Refining, but the movement in that
case seemed to reflect chiefly palpable
bear attack on the security, and had no
more direct explanation than the recent
death of the president and chief figure in
the company.

IF YOU SHOULD DIE TONIGHT

how would your business affairs be
left? Have you made a will? If so,
have you named as executors men OF
business experience, or have you chosen
from among relatives and friends re-
gardless of their fitness for such
trust? Business transactions should
be stripped of sentiment; every prudent
man should arrange to have his affairs,
at his death, pass into the hands OF
persons competent to handle them.
Anything short of this is neglect; have
YOU neglected your wife and little ones
in this respect?
This is a matter of vital interest to
YOU.

Primary Schools.

\ child is a creature of wonder
ful memory. Every parent knows
that child can remember the
most trivial things for years. The
only person who does not know
that children have good memories
is the wise educator of today.
The child like the adult, does not
rember things that it does not
take notice of. The attention Of a
child must be focused upon an
object or subject in order that it
iney be engrsven on his memory.
10 illustrate: the writer once knew
of n bright BOY four years of age
who attended school n whole term
of eight weeks and at the end of
the term he did not learn his
letters. In another instance a
child of two years learned the
alphabet in two weeks. In the
first instance the teacher would
call the boy to her side, place her
finger on the primer and say "s"
aud then gaze about the room and
the lad would repeat "a" "A"
slEnitied nothing to the child and
nothing attracted his attention or
interest. In the other instance
the baby boy had blocks on which
were pictured boy and large
letter "B. " The picture attracted
his attention of the child and
when told that "B" stood for boy
his curiosity Was aroused and he
took careful notice Of the letter
and could turn to his book and
pom out "Bn wherever he found
one.
1t follows, therefore, that n
pupil, young or old, must have his
attentioned directed to his work in
order to learn anything.
If a child seems dull do no,
charge it to lack of memory but
to the failure of the teacher to in
terest him in what he is expected
TO learn.

HORSE as xnARs o1D.

Saved Master ~ Magenta. sunk e.
Shaftn OF a Cab, but Died Happy.
An inquiry as to the limit. OF age Os
horses is reported In German faEzn
journal by DR.. Norner-B arenshurg
who has collected information fer aniH
wide on the subject, says the New York.
Sun. According to his conclusions thlr-
ty years would seem to be the eQulna,
equivalent for the human ''threa score.
and ten" 1t is' good old age for
horses, but many reach It. and not 4.
few surpass 1t.
The oldest horse OF which he coulD
learn any definite facts was roam
mare bred In the government stock
farm In Hungary, and she was at least
as years old when she died. In 1G5zs
she was assigned to Lieutenant Thee
dore Won Leyss of Lemburg, serving ms
the hfth regiment Of uhlans. In thu
next year horse and rider were trans
ferred to the twelfth regiment, and In
1850 they made the entire italian cam
paign together, At the battle Of Ma
genta the lieutenant was cut on from
his regiment by a body Of French
troops. His brave mare carried him to
safety by an extraordinary leap oven
a stone wall.
In 1858 Won Leyss got into fnancian
difficulties and in the following year h9
was obliged to part with his mare to n
comrade, who used her as road horsa.
until 1896, when she passed into thu
stable Of a major OF infantry. With
him, 1t is believed, she made the CANA
paign Of 1866. Then Won Leyss, who
furnished the facts to DR.. NorneK-Ba-
rensburg, lost sight OF her until 1879.
when he found her, alas, serving as b
cab horse In Vienna. He kept his ey9
on her after that and in 1882 she ha&
sunk to drawing a delivery wagon for
a manufacturer Of paper boxes. YOEH
Leyss by this time was In better CIR
cumstances and he bought back his OBGl
friend and comrade to take care Of bax,
until her death.
This took place in 1892, when Ehw
was fully As years old, according Tn
the stock farm record. Down to tlag
end she was employed daily at Light
work. She was a well-set-up animal
with unusually clean-cut, graceful buEi&
and limbs. Two days before her deaths
she refused feed for the first time ins
her life. Her skeleton is now set UR
In the veterinary college In Vienna
The great age she reached 10 all thGy
more remarkable when her military en-
perlences, including thehardship Of two
campaigns, are considered. Her bog
rapher considers her career as estab-
fishing the advantage of allowing horar
es to become fully matured before they,
are put to work. No horse set to work
while green, he thinks, could possibly
have gone through 80 much and IiVeO
to such an age.

Possible Reason for Bringing Fight
ing Craft to the Pacific.

ing Craft to the Pacific.
After all the guessing and specula-
ton is over. as to the motives which
impelled the president and majority
of the naval general board to order the
battleship fleet to the Pacific, the con-
sensus of opinion is that several
causes contributed to bring about the
decision. A new factor which army
circles believe may have been one of
most importance in influencing this ac-
ton, is found in the paragraph in the
report by Captain William A. Judson,
corps of engineers, one of the military
observers with the Russian army in
Manchuria during the last war. The
report has just been published by the
general staff and doubtless it's con-
tents were known to the president.
In his report Captain Judson says:
1T is interesting also to reflect upon
what would have occurred if, at the
outbreak of the war, the Russian fleet
In the far east had been limited to a
few protected cruisers, all battleships
being retained in home waters. It is
quite evident that in such case, by the
summer of 1905 fleet might have
been dispatched to the theater of oper-
atoms with sufficient strength to
crush the Japanese beyond the ques-
ton Of doubt. Indeed, it cannot be
believed that the Japanese would have
precipitated war if the Russian army
and navy had not been scattered to
their liking. This is, to be sure, a
naval question, but strategy is much
the same on the land and on the sea,
and one is forced to wonder why we
maintain several battleships on the
Asiatic station subject to destruction
in case Of sudden war"
