WOMEN IN THE STOCK MARKET.
Wall Street Brokers Have Private
Rooms for Fair Patrons.

The number of women Speculation.
Is amazingly large-much larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but It is a fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
ICONS for their women customers,
with more often than not, private en-.
frances. There are several reasons
for this. One is that many women
who speculate do so secretly, without
the knowledge Of their family, their
relatives or their friends. On this &C.
count they desire privacy, desire to
move and have their Wall street be-
ing unknown. Another reason is that
the broker himself desires it, princi-
pally, be 1t confessed, because he Is
anxious that If there be any Scenes"
they shall be private ones, "far from
the maddening crowds ignoble strife"

statement that women are poorer los.
ers than men. 1t Is the testimony Of
conservative brokers that a woman
ga ''1bler Is much more of a gambler
than man-much more; that is, in
absorbing tenaciousness and almost
virdictiveness. She seems to be car
ried out of and beyond herself to de-

Miners Interest In a BattIeship

nickel, 140 tons, sos, 900; lead 14O tons,
100000; zinc, no tons; $40, $50; tin, ten
tons, $500; total $G24, 75O.
Thus we see that the SHOEMAKER gets
$306'OOO out of every modern warship,
while the metal miner gets $22S, $50. It
is also rather interesting to note that a
snip is built almost entirely of metal.

To Utilize Sagebrush

Sylvester Sparkling, an employee of the
Reid, Murdoch company of Chicago,
has patented a process that will convert
the sagebrush of the great barren
western wastes into millions of money
and utilize it in scientific way. A
company of Hammond, Indiana, bus
mess men will incorporate for quarter
of million dollars to subscribe for the
erection of plant in Nevada which
will make the utilization of sagbrush
possible. The product to be derived
from the western weed is potash, OBJ
tanned now from wood by the Sparkling
process. Sixty-one per cent of potash
is found in sagebrush ashes, where
wood ashes contain only 81 per cent.
This is due to the fact that the desert
plants take up more mineral than those
which do not grow in an alkaline soil.
In addition to potash, wood alcohol, oil
of crcsote and acetone are by-products
obtained from the sagebrush-

SENATOR NELSON'S GALL

The republican state convention at
Winnemucca has met and it's proceed
ings are now history. In some respects
it was the most remarkable body of re-
publicans thai ever met in this or any
other state and it's proceedings were in
harhmony with the remarkable men
who dominated it
About the first thing the convention
long letter from Senator Nixon, in which
this remarkable paragraph occurs:
1--WE all remember, some through bit
ter experiences and others from the
knowledge of past conditions, the last
regime of the democratic party, with
it's Coxey's army, soup kitchens and
other evidences of misery and want.
While the republican party may not
always have followed such policy as
some of its individual members desired,
one thing is sure, that for the past
twelve years this country has never en-
jOyed more prosperous period"
In this paragraph Senator Nixon
charges the panic of 1893 to the demo
cratic party, when at that time he went
up and down the state charging the
panic to the republican party because
Of the decentralization of silver. But
not satisfied with this perversion of the
facts of history, he closes his eyes to the
panic of 19O7-8 and proudly boasts of
the prosperity the country is now enjoy
ing after almost twelve years of unre-
strcted republican rule. There.were
soup houses and Coxcy army during
the last democratic administration, but
they were the result of republican
policies. as everyone knows who is
posted in the countrys history. The
Mckinley tariff bill was in full force
during the panic of 1903, and still
Senator Nixon has the gall to charge it
to the democratic party. As there were
soup houses and vast armies of un.
employed men 1893 81 there were soup
houses and millions of idle workncn in
1907. Senator Nixon saw the one and
artfully lodged the other.
This letter was loudly applauded by
the delegates to that convention. Need
anything more he said in proof of the
assertion that it was IL remarkable BODY
of men?
The platform adopted is also remark
ao'e Tor what it does not say. 1t does
not point with pride to the prosperous
"ondltIon of the country us republican
conventions have done in the past.

drew the platform, had more sense than
Senator Nixon.

Political Reform In China.

The actual change Of rulers In China
came suddenly. but the surprise had
been discounted. 1t had been an
nounced that the dowager empress
who was the real ruler. would abdl-
cate at the beginning Of the Chinese
new year. In that event the programme
for the titular emperor and for the
succession would have been managed
In the usual way. The nation had been
schooled to expect Prince Chun and
bis heir when the time came for a
change, and so the palace was revolu-
tionized without precipItating an i'm
mediate outbreak Of the people.
Whether reform in China will ac-
cept patiently the programme laid out
by the imperial council must soon be
determined. A constitution has been
declared and the time set for the in
auguration Of sweeping reforms In the
structure Of good government Ten
years is a long period to expect the
people who have waged some OF the
hercest and the longest rebelllons of
modern Days TO be good. II may be
that the reforming element of China
Is not organized for revolution. but 1t
has a programme which is preached
necessarily. demanding practically q
revolution Of the army. the navy and
the civil system of the central govern
ment. All Asia is seething with aspI.
rations for radical reform, and the ad.
vent Of a new regime in Pekin Is the
signal for Chinese reformers to put
their claims up to the palace.

Boys and Farming.

The Maine Farmer advises boys to
stick TO the farm as a business propo-
sition. The argument Is not new. but
there is certainly ample justification
for it now. The value Of agricultural
land generally is increasing. and the
farmer can often make more than a
"living." even though he only supports
his family. by improving his acreage
and selling out at an advance.
The real boy days are the hardest
ones to live through on a farm for a
boy OF spirit His work is measured
by the work Of older and stronger
hands, and he naturally thinks he
could do better in some other occupa-
ton. Farm associations. especially
where transient hands are employed.
are not always good for growing boys.
and II the boy fails to see It his moth
er sees 1t and encourages his ambition
to get away. Boys dislike school where
they cannot learn something useful,
and they will dislike farm life that Is
not an advance for them.

The sleep cure is the latest discovery
In the realm Of mental suggestion.
Just who discovered it has not been
revealed, but its marvellous powers
were described the other day by the
Rev. Henry c. Rose. rector OF the
Church Of the Redeemer. in Newark,

when the subject is asleep husbands
can be cured OF vice. crimes can be
prevented and bad habits OF children
removed. AS an instance OF the power
Of mental suggestion when the sub
ject is asleep the clergyman cited the
case Of a woman who cured her hus-
band Of his nightly habit Of going to
his club.
As described by the Rev. Mr.. Rose
the sleep cure is based on a simple
theory. lie said that while the con-
sciOus self is asleep the subcOnsciOus
self is awake. In fact. IL never sleeps.
All wife has To do Is TO sit by her
husbands bed and appeal TO the wide
awake subconscious self to make the
husband good. The clergyman said he

only in twelve cases.
In describing the case Of the woman
who tried the sleep cure on her hus-
band and thereby stopped him from

her husbands bed and told him that
