THE STOCK MARKET.
Accuracy of the Exchange In the
Analysis of Events.

Barring the case of manipulation.
which carries its own remedy and
which is one OF the evils of speculation
the stock market tells the truth. Tenn
porarily indications may be misleading
but it is eventually shown that its
analysis of events is correct. The ST.
lent panic OF March. 1907. was q pre-
mise of the panic of November. Dur
ing the intervening seven months prices
dropped steadily, showing plainly that
there was a weakness in the financial
and Industrial structure The utter
foolishness of blaming speculation for
the downward movement is Obvious.
The stock marketwit its daily record
of prices said rs plainly as it was pos
sible to say: Danger! Stand from I'M
der!"
Something similar happened in 1893.
Bradstreet's for July %. 1898, shows
that twenty representative stocks fell
on an average 40 points, or more than
80 per cent, between January and July.
Chis mitigated the effect of the panic.
One of the most striking illustrations
of the cold blooded accuracy of the ex-
change is recorded by Proudhon in
the Spectators Manual, published at
Paris in 1857, in which he shows that
In the later days of Napoleon and the
restoration, while French patriotism
was at white heat, prices on the bourse

lies, rejecting the belief that the defeat
Of Napoleon meant more for France
than the success.-John Paul Ryan in

THE BASILISK.
How the Fabulous Monster Was Pic
tured by Ancient Writers.

The basilisk was the most famous
of the many fabulous monsters Of me,
diaeval folklore. According to the
popular notion, it was Matched by a
toad from an egg laid by the cock of
the common barnyard fowl. In the
ancient picture books it was usually
represented as an eight limbed SER
pent or dragon, sometimes with and
sometimes without wings. It's name
is derived from basiliscos. meaning n
little king, and was applied because
the creature was figured with circle
Of white spots on its head which much
resembled crown. The cockatrice, q
species Of basilisk, besides having a
crown, possessed comb which was
an exact counterpart of the cocks.
Pliny assures us that the basilisk
had a voice which "strucl1 terror to
the hearts Of men, beasts and SER
penis" The Bible classes 1t with the
lion, the serpent and the dragon as
one OF the most formidable creatures.
Old writers-Pliny, Bascho and others
say that its bite was mortal in every
case, that its breath was suffocating
and that no plant would grow in the
vicinity Of its lair. It's dead body
was often suspended in belfries to pre-
vent swallows from building there.

Clothing In China.

In winter throughout the cold lati-
tudes Of China the Chinese Of all
classes wear fur, wool or hair lined
garments. Even the cody laborers
have their sheep or goat skins, and
people of the middle and official
classes have many sets Of garments
lined with the richest furs. In China
houses are rarely heated to the winter
temperatures of European or Ameri-
can interiors, and in consequence fur
lined clothes are worn indoors as well
as out.

Man-a-Iin an Ideal Laxative
THE NEW WATCHWORD.
Confidence and Cooperation Between
Corporation and Customer an Ideal
Quite Possible of Attainment.

SOi'H0CHSG GHd SO-OPCTdtlOH DctWCCH
Corporation and Customer an Ideal
Quite Possible of Attainment.
According to Professor Meyer of the
railroad commission Of Wisconsin. one
of the chief aims of public utilities
commission should be TO bring about
hearty cooperation between the cities
and the utilities companies which
serve them, the ultimate purpose be.
Ing to secure for the consumer the best
service at the lowest price compatible
with fair return upon the capital in
vested. According to his view, the
commission Is not merely on the one
hand to protect companies from tho
open attacks Of demagogues and the
lnsidiouS attacks Of grafters and on
the other to protect cities from the
rapacity of corporations whose motto
is "charge all the traffic will stand"
1t is beyond and above this-to bring
the two parties to a franchise agree
ment into a spirit of cordial and intel
ligent cooperation.
Agitators tell us that the interests Of
the corporation and Of its customers
are necessarily antagonistic. That is
not true, and any city or corporation
which acts upon that false assumption
does SO at its peril Every day it is
becoming clearer that a corporation
that has monopoly is no exception to
the general rule that no business can
AFFORD to antagonize its customers and
that good service Is a better guarantee
Of permanence than a long contract.
On'che other hand, a city tfatdemands
the impossible Is likely to get half
hearted service and to involve itself in
vexatious litigation and experiments.
Professor Meyer reminds corporations
and cities alike that it is time to aban-
don childish squabbles and puerile eff
forts to obtain petty advantages over
each other-which can only be tempo
to approach the solution Of
the great problems which confront
them In a large and manly spirit, with
open minds and, II necessary, open
books. That this Is no day dream Is
proved by the increasing number Of
cities, large and small, where mutual
and hostility have given
place to confidence and cooperation.

ner soon after the Byrd episode.
when other members persisted in in
terrupting, said: "Mr. Chairman,
the gentleman from Michigan, Mr.
Fordney, has been exceedingly cour-
teous. He has answered all inquiries
that have been made of him. I want
to inquire how long should this thing
in courtesy to the gentleman from
Michigan continue?"
Cong. Townsend also took part in
the questioning, prefacing one ques-
tion with this statement: "T wish to
say, without flattery, that no man has
maintained himself better than the
gentleman from Michigan has. and

"a Notable Address"

jected into the debate Fordney gave
a sample of ready wit in rough-and-
tumble debat that surprised the
house.
II read in the paper about the or
ganization of lumber trust right
here in Washington last winter
said one member.
oh" said Fordney, Il read in the
paper that King Edward of England
had an operation for appendicitis,
but / don't know anything about it,
When the resulting laugh had sub
sided another member flashed the
name of John ID. Rockefeller.
Il would just as soon as not have
my picture alongside of Mr.. Rookie
Teller, . declared Fordney. II am
not afraid of him. But / am not here
to defend his organization. He can
take care of himself"
II have been told by responsible
people," said the Texas member,
that there is combine in ST.
Louis which fixes the price of all the
lumber sold in Texas. What does
the gentleman from Michigan know
about that?"
Doesn't Believe Reports.
Been told So" retorted Fordney,
scornfully. Been told so. Why, l
have been told there is heaven and
a hell, but have never seen either"
Somebody advanced the argument
that the retaliation against Canada
ought to be limited to certain speci-
fed articles.
Limit nothing" said Fordney.
When a man comes along and hits
me on the nose, | do not limit my
self to hitting him on the nose in re-
taliation. l hit him wherever / can,
and / never hit a man yet that he
wasn't hurt worse than was"
While Fordney frankly admitted
that the duty of 81 a thousand on
rough lumber was not high enough
to suit him and that he had provided
the retaliatory clause against Cana
da for that very reason, his frank
ness won him friends and commenda-
ton even among those who want free
lumber. The speech was surpris-
ingly strong, coming from man not
rated as an orator. and at its conclu-
sion large number of members has
tened to shake Fordneys hand and
him.
'Fordney made a very good
speech" said Uncle Joe Cannon,
and that goes to show that a man
IAN always talk we'll if he UNDER
stands what he is talking about"
