Hubberd Bros. & Go. Letter.

New York, July -(special)-While the market has been dull but steady dur ing the day feeling of uneasiness was natural after the recent extensive oper ations, though each side was quiescent and the small demand advanced prices slightly without special comment. The bulls were, if anything. the greater in fuence buying some October and bidding up August, the bears with their extensive short selling of recent days were unwill- ing to materially increase their lines. It was a ''stand-off" neither daring. Crop prospects are good with some slight com paint but none of moment. The public is not attracted by the situation and hold ing aloof leave prices at the sport of momentary influences. The market is nat urally steady, but how the margin of the recent Investments will be made ex- cites much curiosity.

NOW GOES TO THE GOVERNOR.
County Unit 5ill Passes the House BY
a Vote Of 79 To 36.

Columbus, O-The Rose county unit
local option bill passed the house by a
vote Of 79 to Sc.
There were FIVE absentees, four Of
whom were compelled to be away
either on account Of sickness or death
and one of whom, DR.. Nye, of Pike
county, states that he was called out
just as the roll was about to be called
by a friend the corridor.
The vote was conclusive. That there
were seven more than twice the num-
ber of votes for the bill than against

nents Of the measure that It would be
amended or defeated were founded up
on the flimsiest sort of thin air.

riched by a number of donations from
Miss Ida Vera Simonton, who has just
returned from Africa. To the con-

package of bulbs Of the famous cam

a bouquet is ever changing in color.
White in the morning, 1t becomes a
delicate pink at noon. At sunset its
petals are a brilliant red, Some rare

savage tribes of western Africa still
perpetuate in a crude way the lost
arts of ancient Egypt. Their idols are
typically Egyptian and their method

Out Of His Class.

There is a clerk in the employ OF a
philadelphia business man who, while
a fair worker, is yet an individual of
pronounced eccentricity.
One day a wire basket fell off the
top Of the clerks desk and scratched
his cheek Not having any court plas-
ter at band, he slapped on three two
cent postage stamps and continued his
work.
A few minutes later he had occasion
to take some papers to his employers
private office. When he entered, the
"old man" observing the postage
stamps on his cheek fixed him with an
astonished stare. Look here, Jen'
klns!" he exclaimed, you are carry
ing too much postage for second class
atter!"-Harpers Weekly.

The Sphinx and the Infinite.

can imagine the most determined
atheist looking at the sphinx and, in
fash, not merely believing, but feel
ing that he had before him proof of
the life of the soul beyond the grave,
OF the life OF the soul of Khufu beyond
the tomb of his pyramid. Always as
you return to the sphinx you wonder
at 1t more, you adore more strangely
its repose, you steep. yourself more
intimately in the aloof peace that
seems to emanate from 1t as light
emanates from the sun. And as you
look on II at last perhaps you under.
stand the infinite; you understand
where is the bourne to which the
finite flows with all its greatness, as
the great Nile flows from beyond Vic.

Destroy Germs by coIors.

Eminent French scientists are show
ing that 1t is possible to rid ourselves
Of germs by painting the walls with
particular colors. The experiments
made by Prof Deycke in the first in
stance proved that the disease germ
applied to a wall painted with am
phoboline" lost its poisonous proper
ties. Spreading paint on pieces OF
board or glass or cement, he placed a
culture of cholera germ on the sur
face. The germ vanished. Drs. lie
Bosco and Lydia Rabinovitch found
that the tuberculosis germ also disap-
peared under the influence of enamel
ing colors, neither the consumption,
cholera nor diphtheria germ being
found The typhoid germs disappeared
slowly in comparison on the fourth
day. Ultramarine blue seems to de-
stroy the germs the most rapidly,
within "a hours. The results on the
gray paint were almost negative,
while It took the maroon paint al
most IA days to kill the germ.
