GREAT NAMES IN DIRECTORY.
Many Namesakes of Famous Lights Of
 Literature.

A study of the new London Direc- tory, which this year scales 13 pounds, Is extremely interesting. In the case Of literature, we are accustomed to re- gard the names of great authors as ending with them; yet the greatest of English writers has several name sakes scattered over London. William Shakespeare, professor of singing. al- most alone carries on the artistic tra- ditfon of the name; but there is some thing quite Elizabethan in the address. Green Lanes" appertaining to Henry Shakespeare, grocer. John Bunyan Is another grocer. in what Londoners will describe as the Edgware road. William Blake is . beer retailer. a craft that is far removed from "songs of innocence" Chaucer is a name that seems to have absolutely dropped out. Milton, of course. is fairly com mon, although the only John Miltons are ship chandler and chiropodist, neither of them poetic avocations. Keats occurs few times. but there is no John Keats. Cautiously enough, there is not single Keble, but there is one Defoe. The name of Bronte is owned very appropriately by a woman. but ske makes clothes instead of nov els.

STARS ON COINS AND FLAG.
Little Heraldry Lore Shown in tho
 Five and Six Points.

The stars on the great seal and the seal of the president of the United States are flve-pointed, while on the seal of the house of representatives they are six-pointed. The 1S stars on the obverse of the present half and quarter dollar are flve-pointed The reverse of the present half and guar. ter dollar is copy of the great seal. except that the clouds are omitted. It Is evident that heraldry has not taken very strong hold in these matters in the United States, therefore 1t is not in the power of anyone to say without doubt why the difference in the stars on the flag and the coins. So far as is known, with the exception of the reverse of the present half and quarter dollar, the stars on American coins are copied from the colonial coins, which were. no doubt, made after the manner of English heraldry, while the flag was made up after the design of Washington's coat-of-arms, containing three five-pointed stars.

Recently documents have been sent to the interstate commerce con-
 mission by some of the big commer- cial organizations enclosing circu-
 lar addressed to them by the railroads
 telling how they are being bounded
 by the federal and state governments
 and stating that they are curtailing
 expenses, countermanding orders for
 material and cancelling contracts for
 extensions and improvements. The letter from the railroads asked for signatures to a petition, to be pub- lished broadcast by the press, prophe- swing a repetition of the hard times of 1893 to '97 if the railroads were not let alone. This is playing with fire. The railroads, by stopping ex- penditures and throwing thousands of men out of employment. can create general financial depression if they choose If there is anything likely to force a general demand for strict governmental control if not govern mental ownership of the railroads, it is for them to wilfully precipitate a panic. But there are strong in- dications now that they are riding for fall, and if they do they are likely to get it.

The reaction in Wall street has
 induced a somewhat more cautious
 feeling in business circles, says
 Banker Clews. This was desir-
 able, since buyers in many cases were
 losing their heads at a time when
 calculations entering into the future
 involved more than usual risk. The
 chief complaint continues to be the
 high cost of doing business, which often makes our prosperity more ap- parent than real. Too often business is measured by values rather than by quantities. When the latter are taken into consideration it is found that our growth has not been so abnormal as when judged by values. The latter have been highly inflated, and consequently exaggerated our prosperity. A moderate recession in commodity values would be welcomed in many quarters. inasmuch as it would place the future upon safer and more certain basis. Profits have been seriously curtailed in many in- stances by the advances in materials and labor. and this is a tendency which. needless to say, cannot go on indefinitely. This, however, is problem which must work itself out slowly, and does not seem to have any immediate effect upon the stock market, which by its recent shrink age has finally discounted many of the drawbacks-actual or at present foreseen. Wall street has a habit of unfavorable conditions long in advance: consequently any reaction in business, which we hope will be deferred. can have but little injurious effect on the stock exchange at this time."
