cantaIn Stood Sentry Duty.

Captain Herbert Winslow, t. s ~,
who is executive officer at the Charles.
town navy yard, is a great stickler
for the honor of the service. The
other night he did sentry duty for
half an hour when he found an I'M
guarded post. Captain Winslow dis
covered that an entrance gate had
been deserted by the marine. He i'm
mediately assumed the mans place
and had some minutes wait before
he secured a messenger TO telephone
for a marine relief, Until the post
was manned by a new marine guard
Captain Winslow stuck 1t out In the
cold and drizzle.

AN ANCIENT RACE DYING OUT.
veddahs, Of ceylcn Regarded as Rep
resenting the Stone Age,

The oldest inhabitants of Ceylon are
passing away. These are the famous
Veddahs.
Fifty years ago it was estimated
that 5000 of them were still living in
the forests, but DR.. Max Moszkowski,
who has recently visited them, says
there are only so or 60 OF them still
alive and that a few more years Will
see the end OF their race.
The Veddahs have interested an
thropologists because they have been
regarded as the best living types OF
the man of the stone age.
The attitude of the Cingalese toward
them is remarkable They hold the
poor creatures in great honor and rank
them as belonging to the highest caste
in the island. The reason is that they
are reputed to have descended from
the ancient demons or spirits that
were the original possessors Of the
island.
These nomad. hunting people, never
leaving their forests, living under
trees and In caves, without knowl-
edge Of pottery or any other art ex-
cept that of making bows and arrows,
are perishing because Of their way OF
living and of their inability to stand
up when stronger folk are pressing
closer around them. They are exact
ly what they we're centuries ago when
people of India came, and conquered
their green island.

needless to say, though this has at
tracted many orders, buyers are
stll unsettled because action has
been deferred, and the market has
not yet been sufficiently tested BY
competition between buyers ard sell
els. Moreover, the dullless in trade
is being further aggravated by tariff
agitation. While tariff talk does not
t lessen the amount of food consumed,
clothes worn or shelter required stil
the uncertainty has a restraining eff
feet upon new ventures and strength
ems the determination Of buyers to
preserve a hand-to.mouth policy. No
doubt when the tariff question is set
| tied business will instantly take a
vigorous start in consequence of the
accumulation of deferred orders; so
that the total volume Of business
over an extended period will have
suffered little or nothing During
the interval, however much hesita-
| ton will prevail and must be endured
until the tariff revision is settled.
Demand Increasing.
On the one hand, we have uni
versa ease in money and prospects
OF its continuance until the autumn
in spite of government Withdrawals
of deposits, gold exports and possible
Increased demands incidental to the
first of April. The good inquiry for
bonds and high class stocks is Ger
tainly encouraging. Lond0r has
been a larger investor of American
securities than for some time PAST
and the general strength Ct the r
eign markets will, of course exert a
! beneficial influence here. On tie
other hand, the prospects of cen
tilued dullness in trade in the
United States, the outlook for irritat-
| ing tariff discussion and the fact that
neither securities nor commodities
| have yet undergone an adequate de-
cline all tend to unsettie confidence

toin eli how long artificial resistance,
powerfully aided by cheap money,
can hold in check natural forces.
The market is quite likely to witness
sharp rallies on any favorable de-
velopments of Importance. but the
prevailing tendency must be towards
a lower level until the tariff is s,t-

everywhere. Not only in New York
| but in Paris, Frankfort and Berlin
| the tendency of interest rates is still
downwards. This, of course, is main
| " due to the depression prevailing
| in commerce and industry in all parts
of the world AS a result capital is
| accommodating and diligently seeking
every form of safe and profitable en-
ployment. The effect of this situa-
| ton upon the security markets is
marked In the first place, it causes
good demand for high grade invest
ments from conservative Investors
and Institutions, who have more re-
gard for preservation of principal
| than either dividends or speculative
| profits. At the same time another
class of buyers, wiz the general pub
| lie, continues to abstain from the
market. partly because of the dull
ness of business and dmunition of
profits lessons their purchasing atih
| ity, and partly because they rccog
nize that the prices Of average stocks
are much too high in view of existing
conditions. The insiders and big
Emarket leaders have successfully re-
sisted any important decline thus
| far owing to the abundance of cheap
money. There are reasons for belieV-
ing, however, that those whose pol
icy it was to support the market and
resist natural tendencies have ac-
cumulated all, if not more than, the
stocks they desire, and that in the
absence of buyers their position is
anything but n satisfactory one, not
outstanding their unqucstioned iinan'
cial strength.
Resist Natural Tendencies.
For some months past all the re-
sources and skill Of the great lead
crs have hacn concentrated upon the
purpose of resisting natural tanden-
cies. Considering the great shrink
age in railroad traffic, and the I'M
questioned dullness in business,
prices ought to have undergone a
considerable reaction, Such has
been the course in all previous panics
and it is difficult to appreciate why
the results should be any different
now. There is no doubt the recovery
following the rebound after the panic
was too violent, having been unduly
stimulated by the inflationary effect

COUNTRY OF FOUR RELIGIONS,
China Seemingly Should BE Land Of
Great Plety.

OF the late Chinese emperor II may
be said. as it has been of his subjects.
that he was born a Confucian, lived
a Taoist. and died a Buddhist. China
indeed has four stateestablished re-
ligions. and in each the emperor ex-
ercises sacardotal functions. Twice n
wear the emperor. as son Of Heaven,
worships before the tablet of Shang
ri or Supreme Heaven in accordance
with the ancient imperial monotheism.
Twice year he burns incense before
the tablets of his ancestors in accord
arce with Confucisnism. Twice a
wear he sacrifices to the gods of
Taoism and twice year to the image
Of Buddha The ancient and print.
tive religion of China is monotheistic
hut this first worship was regarded as
too sublime for the people, so that
il became reserved for the emperor
alone as the Son of Heaven and as
priest of the nation. The people on
their part worshipcd their ancestors
and It was the ancestral religion
which Confucius identified himself
with and reformed. The old supersti
tions rejected by Confucius were alb
sorbed by Taoism. which is polytheis
tic and the religion of the populace
Then Buddhism came into China about
IS A. d., and. like the other three
religions. became state-supported and
