Nitrogen is colorless, tasteless,

permanent or non-condensable, but it
can now be liquefied when subjected

But to-day across the homemade

MY mother smiled in answer; her
back was toward the divan and she
did not turn. you must be more
careful, she said, just as If Susie's
mother fell every day.

STOCK EXCHANGE HISTORY.
The Old Boards Rival Put Out Of
Business by Panic.

Business by Panic.
In 1912 the New York Stock Ex-
change moved to the new Merchants
Exchange, bounded by Wall and Will
lam streets, Exchange place and Han
over street. This building after
ward became the Custom House and
now Is the home of the National City
Bank
The exchange leased a large hall
on the William street side. Seats
were arranged around a long table
forming hollow square, says
Moody's Magazine, and at each side
of the room, on a raised platform,
number of separate desks were
placed for members.
The members in those DAYS
adorned themselves with swallow
tailed coats, high stocks around their
necks, finished with tall chimney pot
hats, very fashionable in those days.
In the heat of market excitement
this superficial array very frequently
became badly disarranged and was
not infrequently discarded alto-
gether.
In the same Merchants Exchange
building rival body of brokers
known as the new board or bourse
held daily sessions This new board
had its birth about 1895, and had
been organized as competitor of
the old board, but the panic of 1897
had hit the members pretty hard and
crippled their finances so severely
that their fighting strength had van
ished. AS result in 1848 the new
board passed into ancient history, all
of its members who were eligible
having associated themselves with
the old Exchange Board.

LIFE.

Lafe is too short to fuss and fret.
To waste the hours in vain regret;
Io fancy Sights, TO bother why
This listener gave vague reply,
Or that one made some testing threat.
And though dull cares our ways bese.,
10 court Indifference, and let
Each proHered bit Of JOY slip by
Life is too short!
But, put the world for mirth in debt,
And strive that odds be gayly met;
Humor in every cross espy,
And no least plea for cheer deny
Then, for the happiness we get,
Life is too short
