'AMALGAMATED
 LEADS BIG SLUMP
Stocks Slumped All Along the Line Market Entirely Unsupported-Can- not Induce Public to Invest-Tired Holders Continue to Unload.
(By II. H. Bru Col

GLOBE, August 7.--Today's market opened fractional point above yester- days close, advancing on an average one-half point, and then slumped, head ed by Amalgamated, from three to five points, striking the lowest levels that the market has reached for the past year or more. This slump comes from no support being given to the market, but left to take care of itself from the bear raid. Standard oil interests, it is reported, are also bearing the market. The government 8 attitude against the large corporate interests seems to have cleared the track for this decline. The public apparently cannot be induced to enter the market regardless of prices and inducements, and the fight is be- tween the larger interests and cliques. Tired holders continue to sell their stocks at any prices offered.
 We would advise holders to hold on to their stocks and that investors stay out of the market until more settled conditions prevail. All stocks are cheap but the market is very unsettled Money remained around 2la to 3 per cent
 No attention is given the curb stocks, and the interest seems to be directed toward the larger issues.

Unique Festival

An odd festival is held annually in Brussels. Every wife undresses her husband and puts him to bed. And the next day the husbands invite their wives relations and entertain them with the utmost generosity. This cere- mony was instituted in commemoration of a siege at which the women stipu- lated before equalization that they should be allowed to carry with them their children and whatever burden they were able to bear. This being granted by the enemy, each wife car ried her husband off on her shoulder New York Press.

Worth Working For

As the studio girl was going home a frayed old woman stopped her.

 The girl looked at her hard. Her eyes were watery, She seemed desti- ute.
 "'If you will go to my studio with me, " she said to her, "'I will make you a cup of tea. I will with pleasure. The old woman looked hard at her. ''I suppose" she said, "you have to walk up a good many flights of stairs to get to your studio2"
 "I do, said the girl.
 The old woman shook her head.
 "I can't walk up stairs, she sighed, ''I never could.
 "Could you walk if I gave you a sip of something else'' asked the girl "'I could, she faltered.

Victoria,s Velvet Hands.

Speaking of Queen Victoria: Her
hands were so soft that they seemed
made of finest velvet. They were
fat and pudgy, with very tapering
fingers, and every gentlewoman in
England would have given her title
OF nobility to possess such exquisite
organs of prehension. Her Majesty's
letters do not expatiate on the
method employed to keep her hands
so perfect, but one of her maids gives
the secret away, and every woman
should know it. So here it is:
Scrape into an earthen vessel one
and q half ounces of spermaceti and
one-half ounce of white wax; add six
drachms of pounded camphor and
four tablespoonfuls of olive oil. The
oil must be pure. Let the mixture
stand near the fire until it slowly dis
solves, stirring it we'll when liquid.
Before you wash your hands rub them
well with little of this cerate-then
wash them as usual. This compound
costs twenty-five cents and will last
three winters. Should be kept in
covered vessel.-Victor Smith, IL

Split Pea Soup.

For this you can use either the
green or yellow split peas. Pick over
carefully, removing all imperfect
ones, wash thoroughly; cover with

Proposals in Japan.

A remarkable custom in connection
with window gardening exists in some
districts of Japan. In houses where
IN reside one or more daughters of
a marriageable age, an empty flower
pot, of an ornamental character, is
encircled by ring and suspended
from the window or veranda by three
light chains.
1t is etiquette for the Japanese
lover to approach the dwelling of his
lady bearing in his hand some choice
plant, which he boldly, but, let us
hope, reverently, proceeds to plant in
the empty vase. The lady is free to
act as she pleases. If he is the right
man, she takes every care of his gift.
But If he is not a favorite, or il stern
parents object, the poor plant is torn
from the vase.

Stage Life Not Easy.

One popular illusion about the
stage is that the life is SO easy When
you sit in front at the theatre it all
seems so real. The joys you witness
the sorrows, the loves. the hates thus
portrayed, all appeal in their art;
asd the strange part about 1t is that
to the ambitious one it all looks so
easy to do.
Most of the girls who ask advice
about going on the stage say: II am
such a good study. / am sure
could easily learn the lines" with a
finality which conveys the idea that,
in their belief. little more is re-
quired.
Now. to build house. as we all
know, one must first acquire a piece
of land on which TO put it, and then
begins the work of digging for foun-
datlons. the erection of structure, the
laying of the bricks and mortar. may
hap, the covering, the finish, etc.
After that is all completed, then
comes the furnishing, the woman's
work, that makes her house different
from ludl VI any OHS else.
The study of lines is no more than
securing the property ON which to
build. The real work follows after

low the long. firing rehearsals, and
