NEW YORK Oct. 81. - The days
stock market was affected plainly
enough, by movement on the part
of speculative holders to get cur o.
their holdings on the eve Ct the
presidential election. News was no.
much attended to. although there
was considerable discussion OF John
u. Rockefeller's announcement OF his
political attitude and OF the recep-
ton accorded it.
The extraordinary gains IN no.
earnings for September reported yes
tertiav bv the Union Pacific ana the
Southern Pacific were supplemented
by the reports 10 the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission o. other lrans-
continental railroads fer that period
showing increases in gross earnings
and heavy cuts in operating cost.
II was considered that the strength
of these returns would operate against
the attempt credited to the railroads
to bring about general advance in
freight rates after the election.

The Only Basis of Society.

Few men suspect, perhaps no man
comprehends, the extent OF the sup
port given by religion to every vr.
tue. No man, perhaps. is aware how
much our moral aud social sentiments
are fed from this fountain; how pow
erless conscience would become with
out the belief of a God; how palsied
would be human benevolence, were
there not the sense of higher benevo-
lence to quicken and sustain it; how
suddenly the whole social fabric would
quake, and with what a fearful crash
it would sink into hopeless ruin, We're
the ideas of a Supreme Being, of ac-
countableness, and of future life. to
be utterly erased from every mind.

Future of the Chinese

Sir Robert Hart, director-general of
Chinese customs, declares that the
Chinese are destined to become pow
erful nation; but with such an i'm.
mense mass the work must go slow,
and by the time they are organized
along modern lines, even if they were
aggressive, which they are not, they
will know how to temper their
strength with wisdom. AS to the
yellow peril Sir Robert said he
thought that, though the Chinese are
likely to become formidable COMPETE
tors in industrial and trading matters,
they will not cause the world any
special trouble.

LEARNED LlFE,s LESSON EARLY.
Mistake of First Day Of School Not to
Be Repeated.

The state superintendent of public
schools of Maine recently recalled a
story of his early school life He dis
tinctly remembered he said to, an
audience of Maine "schoolma ANS"
his first day in school. 1t was also
his brothers first day, and they occu-
pied seats across the aisle from each
other.
1t was in the afternoon when the
young and pretty teacher came to
my seat, placed her hand on my shout
der and asked. Don't you love me?"
| was almost frightened out of my
wits, but | managed to look up at
her.
No, ma'am." l replied.
She then went to my brother, di.
rectly across the aisle, and asked him
the same question, to which he re-
piled:
Yes, maam."
You may readily imagine which Of
us got the raisins from the pudding
during that term of school. All that
l got | pounded out of my brother.
| forthwith made up my mind that
whenever that question was asked me
again | would always reply:
Yes, ma'am."

Awful EXAMPLE of j. kohIer.

Never was man confronted with
such a weakness as Joe Kohler of New
York He is now in Sing Sing for six
years and Six months and from Joe's
own account he ought to be mighty
thankful for it. Every time Joe gets
drunk he gets married. le's been
drunk four times in the last two
years and each time some female land
ed him high and dry. Not only mat
rimony stared Joe in the face but
what was almost as bad, he was
rounded up for bigamy and four of the
products of his sprees in the shape of
wives came into court to testify
against him. He threw up his hands
and admitted he was stung He told
the court that his drinking habits We're
responsible. The court sent Joe to

"Omar khayYam" Room.

Literary faddists, before this, have
"consecrated" rooms to some favorite
authors, making such place a Long
fellow or a Dickens room, or a Scott
room, with many editions of the par
icular author and as many relics as
it is possible to buy. Now there is
an Omar khayyam room in Washing
ton. 1t belongs TO a woman whose
home is near that of the Persian min
lister. The room is patterned after
living room in a Persian home The
walls are covered with rugs and fine
draperies and in rustic frames are
scrolls containing fayorite quotations
from The Rubaiyat." There is an
idealized sketch of the poet keeping
watch with the lion and the lizard.

Adventurous Monarch.

Kings, as a rule, do not take up new
hobbies when they are on the wrong
side of 60, but the king of Wurtem-
burg is not of this class, as may be
seen from his airship adventures. But
he has always been in favor of prog
ress on political and scientific lines.
and his interest in cloud Journeys is by
no means of recent date. Perhaps
more monarchs would indulge in ad-
ventures of this lkind-if they were
permitted 1t may be remembered
that when King Edward VII. (as
prince of Wales) was at Niagara Falls
Blondin offered to carry him on the
tight rope over the falls. But, for
more reasons than one, the invitation
had to be declined.

IN ONE TAcTFUL uTTERANcE.
Great Man Broke Up the Most Pro.
found Social Frost.

| was lately told delightful story
of great statesman staying with a
humble and anxious host, who had in
vlted a party of simple and unimpor-
tant people to meet the great man.
The statesman came in late for din
ner and was introduced to the party;
he made a series of old-fashioned
bows in all directions, but no one felt
in position to offer any observations.
The great man, at the conclusion of
the ceremony, turned to his host, and
said, in tones that had often thrilled a
listening senate: What very con-
venient jugs you have in your bed
rooms. They pour WE'LL" The social
frost broke up; the company We're de-
lighted to find that the great man
was interested in mundane matters of
a kind on which every one might be
permitted to have an opinion, and the
conversation, starting from the
humblest conveniences of daily life,
melted insensibly into more liberal
subjects. Arthur c. Benson, in Put

Enormous Watersheds

Near the ST. Lawrence river, in
Canada, there is a waterslide three
miles long for conveying pulp-wood
to the railway. 1t is capable of NOV
ing nearly 5000 cubic feet of wood
per hour. The company operating this
slide had at Que time a pile of pulp
wood 1000 feet long. 26 feet high, and
40 feet wide, all of which had been
transported from the woods to the
railway by this novel method. One
company has on one of its jobs a
water-slisle seven miles long, by which
its pulp stock is carried to the river,
whence 1t is driven to the mills.
