Grandfather clocks are ire quently made up of such incongruities as a modern dial with a forged mak- CTS name and date, and old case patched up and set off with modern inlay, and perhaps works about 50 years old. The Stradivarius violins are almost as numerous as the mod ern instruments, while old armor and medals, all of modern make, are pro- duced by the wagon load. Cheap and inartistic Japanese ware is flooding Europe for sthe, purpose of interesting the Americans who like to buy such things, and more Chinese stuff, al- legged to have been taken from the pal ace of the emperor during the Boxer troubles, is for sale than has been produced in the oriental empire dur ing the last twenty years.
 It is a great modern enterprise, this making of antiques, and the great est practicians of the art are the shrewd European dealers who depend upon American purchasers to fill their cofers. Were it not for the people of this country the industry could not exist

SPECULATIVE ON MARGIN.
American and English Ways of
 Doing It Are Very Different.

American and English Ways of
 Doing It Are Very Different.
 In America a speculator's capital
 (with an exception to be noted below) Is necessarily at least the size of his margin in his brokers hands, though it is to be feared that in only too many instances it is just this and nothing more.
 On the London stock exchange an other method prevails which, says MCody's Magazine, it is probable has done more in the long-ago past to give stock speculation its bad name than all the episodes of an unsavory na- ture which have ever occurred on American exchanges. In London after the inevitable introduction to a broker the new customer gives his order, but makes no deposit at all.
 The broker is supposed to learn something of his new clients means and how far he should be allowed to commit himself. Twice a month the English have what they call their set clement days. A customer long of a stock whose commitment has gone somewhat against him is then requir- ed to pay the differences. as they are called, between his purchase price and the current quotation.
 He must also pay charge called a contango for holding the settlement over into the next fortnightly period if he does not wish to close the com mitment- As a consequence of this way of doing business a speculator may be trading on a few points mar gin in reality, or In fact on no mar gin at all; he may be utterly penni- | less without his brokers knowing 1t. |
 That this method works out with | fewer losses in England that 1t would | do here is due to the fact that the so- cial and economic strata to which an belongs are much easier 70 determine than the corresponding 'acts among us, and also that an in

troducuon means more there than here, as the introdncer is regarded a. to certain extent responsible nor ally for the business department of hi. friend.
 It Is worth while observing (and this is the exception referred to above ) that in certain instances the methods pursued in American stock exchange houses are the same as those obtain. ing in London. Little as the fact is known. 1t is not an unfrequent custom for very wealthy speculators to have no fixed margin or even no margin al all with their brokers
 If man of this sort loses on a commitment he sends his broker 8 check for the loss; if he wins his bro kers remit to him for his gains. The broker dislikes to offend a very pow erful client by troubling him for funds and hence takes risks with hi. account which he would not dream ol taking with the account of smalle: men. Instances of this sort some times become public in cases where the broker Is forced into bankruptcy whether owing to this cause or not.

BUNGALOW ON STILTS.
Novel HOt-SeasOn Home to Be EEecr-
 ed at Great SRiver. L. I.

l Novel HOt-SeasOn Home to Be EEecr- ed at Great sRiver. l.. I. A bungalow on stilts is to be erected in Great River, L. l., adjoining the estates of w K Vanderbilt, Jr., Bay ard Cutting, Frederick G. Bourne and other wealthy men. Undoubtedly it will be the oldest hot-weather resi-. dence ever constructed.
 It is to be built by Harry de Bow Barnes, who has an office in the Mar bridge building, at 34th street and 9th avenue, and who lives in the Bronx, the New York World says.
 He engaged w. H. Buckhout, a Hacksack architect, to prepare the plans Mir. Buckhout described them last night in this way:
 Four hollow steel poles or masts each forty-five feet in length and eight inches in diameter, will support a platform twenty-five feet square. The poles pass through the corners of the platform for five feet and act as brace for the bungalow that is built upon the platform. A spiral staircase gives access to the bungalow through  the medium of a door in the under side of the platform. This stairway Is fitted with gateway that can be closed at will by the occupants of the bungalow, so as to shut out undesir- able callers.
 Both the platform and the bunga low are to be of seasoned oak. The structure itself will be fitted with all sorts of hot-weather conveniences Every precaution will be taken to in- sure the safety of its occupants from winds and thunderstorms. It will also be fitted with an anti-swaying device that has been invented by MT. Barnes himself"
 If the experiment turns out to be a success, as MT. Barnes believes 1t will, it is possible that bungalows on stilts will become popular.

The back to nature" movement among the ultra-civilized has assumed
 certain forms which make it fair
 and the stage. Clever farces have been
 produced in which the element of
 humbug in the alleged simplicity" of
 swehdom and plutocracy has been
 amusingly caricatured, while the
 bungalow" craze has not escaped the
 shafts of the paragraphers. There are, however, others who are dissatis- fed with the simple life. To them back to nature" means something more than plain living in the country, dispensing with luxury and artificiali- ty. What they banker for is the wild life, a reversion to primitive condi- tions for a time. The restless ele- ment in our nature," says the editor of The North American Review in his diary" requires us to go adventur ing once in a way; with our best clothes and worldly estate. left far in the background, we must go forth afoot or on horseback or in a catboat to see and hear what our spinning world may have to confide to us." And the responsive editor tells with pleasure of a new mode of vagabon- dage that is springing up in England and Scotland. Men go of in cara vans, with a rough housekeeping out fit, a folded tent for the night, and camp in unexplored woods or on the coast of unseen lands. The sea, the wide stretch of horizon, the sounds of the forest, the sky and wind soothe distempered intellects and bring peace, sanity and health to victims of vanity and struggle and machine made habits. Americans have gone a-vagabonding for years without using the term, but our experience with ping-pong and golf bids us prepare for the formal introduction of "the new vagabondage" from England and Scot land under its alluring name. The sensible will practice the thing while | avoiding the phases that develop a | craze and then kill the soul of good | that is in it. The simple life is ra- tional when rationally followed, and | the call of the wild, of untamed na- ture, of the touch of savagery-minus | be answered occasion ally by the highest product of evo- lution."

The chief of the division of music of the Library of Congress has an- nounced that Dixie is the first of American songs in patriotic popu- larity." Perhaps its claim will be contested on sectional grounds, but it had a very innocent origin, and it has given most pleasing evidence of the return of good feeling since the close of the war of the rebellion. Wherever it is sung or played in the northern states it calls forth ex- pressions of friendliness toward the South The applause with which it is greeted proves beyond doubt that the old animosities belong completely to the past and that there Is the strongest desire for a new and more perfect union. It appeals to every generous impulse, and tha response Is

President Taft, who wore a loose fitting suit of clothes when he met President Diaz on the Mexican border last month, did not please the Mexi- can newspapers. The editor of one of them thought he should have been dressed in military uniform, with lots of gold lace. No doubt the Presi- dent would look very pretty in such costume, but until the present time the official uniform for the chief ex- ecutive has been the same as is worn Ay every other American citizen.

Who says that valor is dead? Who maintains that the days of chivalry are no more; that knights no longer live who pin their ladies' kerchiefs on their breasts and go forth to face dragons or the caitiff foe? If such there be, let them consider Slater of Virginia, Christian name and post ofhce unknown. He offers to marry Carrie Nation. All other valorous deeds sink into insignificance beside this deed Even the great faunal nat 1ralist now tearing Nairobian lions limb from limb and eating them raw appears like an arrant coward com pared with Slater of Virginia.

Following the Band.

Once upon a time a Philadelphia lawyer came South. He had a pair of big spectacles, an inquisitive mind, and he wanted to know. says Harris Dickson, in Success Magazine. With his Southern friend he was hurrying to the court house. A negro parade blocked the street; negroes in car riages, on horseback, on foot; negroes with swords and axes; stumpy negroes with Masonic banners. lean negroes with Pythian devices, fat negroes with Odd Fellows insignia, mescelleanous negroes with miscellaneous emblems
 The Philadelphian pushed through the crowd and ran back in great ex- citement. Whats it all about? What are they doing?"
 The Southern couldn't explain, but beckoned to a very intelligent young negro-who. by the way, was a prom inent politician-and asked, Tom, what's the occasion of all this pa rade?"
 The young negro laughed. Now, Jedge, you ought to know dat a nig- ger don't need no 'casion for q pa rade.''
 Tom had spoken a mouthful. Pa. geantry appeals to the negro's tropical. imagination. Churches and lodges fur nish most of the social life that he knows. He does not ask why the brass band is playing; he keeps step with the fellow that beats the drum and is happy.

The Substance of Things Hoped For.
 In the New York City Home for the Aged, a deaf old gentleman was mak. ing application preparatory to becom. ing an inmate. As is the usual pro- cedure, he was questioned as to age, income, nationality and religion. He seemed to be able to get through with the first three questions, but when asked his religion he stared blankly at the superintendent.
 The doctors and orderlies of the home went through series of shouts and explanatory gestures, but without success. As last resort one of the doctors dropped on his knees, and with hands upraised to heaven tried to illustrate what they meant by re- ligion. A gleam of intelligence came over the good mans face, and he ex. claimed. joyously. ''Tammany Hall!"- Success Magazine.
