WALL STREET TO-DAY.

Special from United Press.)
 New York, April 15.-The market opened with much aggressive buying of the coal stocks, the principal feat ure. The most interest centered in Reading which showed a gain of 3-4 few minutes after the opening. Della ware & Hudson and Ontario & Western were active and strong and the way the coal stocks acted created conf dence all around the room. Union Pacific was heavy but rose 5-s and ad vances ranging from fractions to point were made in many isues.
 New York. April 15.-11 A. M.-Al- though the buying of Reading contin- ued persistent all through the first hour and extended to other Reading securities there was nothing in the way of information that could be regarded as an incentive. Southern Railways were next to the coalers in speculative interest and heavy purchases made them strong in the early trading but later realizing caused recessions of those stocks. As the hour ended the market conditions generally became heavy and the coalers joined the rest of the list in a downward movement
 Government bonds unchanged: other bonds strong and active

Clsthe. ana Conduct.

Every man and every woman feels the influence of clothes and appearance upon conduct. You have heard of the lonely man in the Australian bush who always put on evening dress for din- ner so that he might remember he was a gentleman. Addison could not write Put a naughty girl into her best Sum day clothes, and she will behave quite nicely; put blackguard into khaki, and he will be a hero; put an omnibus conductor into uniform, and he will live up to his clothes. Indeed. in a millennium of free clothes of the latest fashion we shall all be archangels.- London Chronicle.

 Aboard of Steamer Admiral.)
 Alden, April 15.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, aboard the German steam CT Admiral, arrived here at 10 o'clock this morning. MT. Roosevelt landed immediately after the steamer docked and received an enthusiastic welcome.
 At MT. Roosevelt's request the re- ception by the British authorities was wholly unofficial. The whole town had evidently been awaiting the ex- through the city was the occasion for a demonstration of such warmth as is rarely seen in this part of the world. Kermit Roosevelt, after a and Dr, Loring, the Smithsonian In stitute scientists, in a bird-hunting expedition. They recognized the pres ent stop as the only opportunity they would have to secure Asiatic Speci- mems for the institute.
 Colonel Roosevelt is greatly elated over the promise given him by F. c. Selous, the famous English big game hunter, to join the party at Nairobi. Selous is a passenger on the Admiral and while it was said that he would be with the Roosevelt party during part of the African hunt, his promise to do so was not received until just before Alden was reached. SelouS will remain with the party during its stay in the Nairobi region and if Colonel Roosevelt's entreaties have the desired effect he may remain with the hunting expedition Indefinitely. Selous is an Englishman who has spent most of his life in hunting big game in Africa and he and the Colonel were in almost con- stant conversation during the trip through the Red Sea
 For a man who has never been in Africa, MT. Roosevelt knows more about the country than any man ever saw" Selous declared "It is hard to imagine a more enthusiastic sports man and it will be a delight to hunt with such a man,
 The trip through the Red Sea was without special incident, though the historic associations greatly interest MT. Roosevelt. A spirit of the utmost good fellowship prevails among the and MT. Roosevelt is sim ply "one of the boys,'' as much so as he ever was in his ranch life.

Greenland Whales.

The great Greenland whale has no teeth, its baleen plates, or whalebone, taking their place. Along the center of the palate runs strong ridge, and on each side of this there is a wide de. pression along which the plates are in serted. These are long and flat, hang ing free, and are placed across the mouth with their sides parallel and near each other. The base and outer edge of the plates are of solid whale bone, but the inner edges are fringed, filling up the interior of the mouth and acting as strainer for the food, which consists of the small swimming mol lusks and medusae or jellyfish.

Stale Brains.

Of course there is no future for stale brains or for a man who stands still and ceases to grow. He is old who thinks he is old and useless who thinks he is useless. When a man has ceased to grow he begins to die, and many people are half dead at fifty, not be cause of their age, but because of their mental attitude, because of the way they face life.-Success Magazine.
