at marvels concerning Constance and

In such a small place, where every

neighbors, 1t was impossible to pre-
vent an atmosphere of mystery from
clinging to Mrs. Vansittart Again,
the gossips were greatly concerned
about Enid. For a young woman "in

that she should be on open terms of
the greatest intimacy not alone with
the elderly Mr.. Trail, but with his
good looking nephew, even calling tie
latter Charlie and treating him as n

stance only surpassed by the complG

her son regarded it,
The actors in this comedy seemed to
be sublimely Indifferent to public opih-

was escorted about the town by each

she was at the hospital cheering Bates

Piano Acts as Burger Alarm.

Because a clumsy burglar stun
bled and sprawled over the keyboard
of a piano in the parlor of Dominick
Smith, a rich contractor, early today
the burglar and pal were compelled
to abandon booty valued at several
thousand dollars which they had
packed in bundles ready to carry
away.
Quite recently Smith bought the
piano. He bought it solely for its har-
mony producing qualities and had no
idea 1t would serve as burglar
alarm. Several silver articles of brio
a.brac were placed on top OF the pia-
no, and evidently in reaching for
these one of the burglars fell. his hands
striking the keys. A loud. discord-
ant rumble disturbed the quiet Of the
house and aroused the whole family.
Smith seized his revolver and ran
down stairs in time to see two men
speeding down a path in the front
yard. He fired several shots at them
but the bullets went wild Near the
piano afterward the contractor found
the bundles Of valuables the men had
intended to carry away but which they
abandoned in their haste to escape
when the piano proclaimed their pres
ence.-Pelham Dispatch to the New
York Press.

When the luck seems most against

Country is Solvent. ;

The country has never been in a
more solvent state. Bank depositors
show no anxiety Bank failures are
rarity except as they have. been
produced by the misappropriations Of
funds by criminal officials. The mer-
camille death record of the last quar-
ter of 1907 was the lowest in thirty
years. The only boarding evident is
that which keeps something like
$500 100000 in the pockets of peo-
pie who have the highest per capita
metallic circulation of any in the
world, save the French. Production
has been, and still is, from ten to
twenty-five per cent. under consump-
ton, and with a total of nearly l.
100000 immigrants estimated for
this year, the cry is for more men.
Five hundred miles south and west
of Wall Street the people wonder at
the cataclasm there. The turmoil in
the market puzzles them. Every mer-
chant knows that his problem is how
to provide for his trade, to which
cost is incidental. The manufactur-
er is more worried over his inability
to get the premiums offered for i'm
mediate delivery than over possible
cancellations. The railroad traffic
manager does not have to look for
business when 1000 OF his cars are
held in freight blockade, and ma
equipment than he has at his disposal
Is waiting shipment. The Southern
planter and mill owner has plenty OF
money In the bank and asks for few
rediscounts. The Western farmer
knows that he can sell his wheat and
corn at profitable prices just as soon
as the railroads can move them to mar
ket. The tremendous industrial activ-
ity OF the Southwest, of the North
west, and OF the oaciflc slope certain
ly did not contribute to a panic, and
IL has not been interrupted by one.
Its tide Is still rising 70 the food.
Here is evidence enough that the
panic did not grow out of an unstable
business situation nor was 1t due to
radically changing economic condi.
tions. IL is true that credit the world
over was extended and that there had
been an over production of securities
Capital was fully absorbed. but COR
porations called for more TO under
take gigantic enterprises which an
unprecedented prosperity seemed TO
demand. American railroads bor-
rowed in every country in Europe
that had a loanable surplus at rates
OF interest that astonished foreign
bankers, and American spectators
did the same. A few months ago 1t
was estimated that the financial obli-
cations OF the United States TO Eu-
rope amounted to s400. .000, 900.

slipper for the purpose of soaking
the feet. This slipper can be readily
put on or taken off, and can be worn
about the house. Air is excluded from
the feet, the natural warmth Of the
feet keeping the bath itself warm.
The slipper Is made Of rubber, with
n comparatively heavy sole, the body
or upper being light and elastic. The
sole and upper are considerably
larger than the foot, so as to provide
room for the bath. The ankle fits
closely. Above the ankle are hand
pieces, TO assist in putting on or TAX
Ing off the slipper. BY placing a
small quantity Of the desired bath in
the slipper the wearer can prolong
the bath indefinitely without seClu-
sion, replenishing or exposure to cold

A curious break and make" action
among the brain cells is thought by

Brain activity is attributed to nerve

divide and subdivide until they end
in little knobs. The nerve cells were

connected through their terminals.
It is now known that these may be
separated, and it is concluded that
separation occurs during sleep. 1t is
claimed that the theory is supported
by the effect Of narcotics.
