DR. FRANkLIN'S ADVICE.

Benjamin Franklin was an ardent advocate of fresh air as a cure for ail- ments. He declared that fresh air not only cured illness, but preserved health. In one of his letters of advice to young lady this philosopher wrote: Tt is recorded of Methuselah who. being the longest liver. may be supposed to have best preserved his health. that he slept always in the open air. for when he had lived 800 wears as angel said to him: Arise. Methuselah. and build thee house for thou shalt live 300 years longer But Methuselah answered and said: If I am to live but 800 years longer. if is not worth while to build me house; I will sleep in the air as I have been used to do" Dr Franklin's cor respondent wanted to know where he foand this story He could not tell because he would not say that. like many good stories. it was an inven- tion.

New York Dec. 27.-The Rock Is- land episode in today's stock market afforded an opportunity to test the stability of the present speculative position.
 The resisting power shown to the alarming intimations carried by the sensational gyrations in Rock Island stocks. served as an assurance that the present position is not easily vulnerable There was dread that quiet liquidation might have been going on. which, Would be followed after certain stage ny withdrawal of support and an abandonment of values to the natural play forces. Whatever explanation may lie back of the episode the movement of the stock was sufficiently extraordinary. 4 rise of 31A points in five min utes in the price of the railroad stock having substantial volume. and widely disseminated market. is a rare occurrence in stock market history. When it is followed in almost as little time by a complete relapse. it may be said to be almost without precedent.
