SPECULATING ON MARGIN.

| From Moody's Magazine.
In America SPECTATORS capital with
an exception to be noted below is neces-
sarily 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, il is prob
able, has done more in the long ago past
to give stock speculation its bad name
than all the episodes of an unsavory ma
| ture which have ever occurred on Amer
| lean exchanges. IN London after the
inevitable introduction 10 a broker. the
| new customer gives his order, but makes
no deposit at all.
| The broker is supposed 10 learn some
| thing of his new clients means and how
! far he should be allowed to commit him
self. Twice a month the English have
what they call their settlement days. A
customer long Of a stock whose commit
ment has gone somewhat against him is

| they are called, between his purchase
| pliCS ana the GuIIeilL tuptdtiois
He must also pay charge called
contangO for holding the settlement over
into the next fortnightIy period. IL he
does not wish to close the commitment.
As a consequence of this way of doing
business a Spectator may be trading on
q few points margin in reality, or in fact
on no margin at all-he may be utterly
penniless without his broker knowing it.
That this method works out with fewer
losses in England than it would do here
IS due to the fact that the social and
economic strata to which an Englishman
| belongs are much easier to determine
than the corresponding facts among us,
| and also that an introduction means more
there than here. as the introduceT is re-
garded as to a certain extent responsible

NO turbine steamer has been towed

This tribute TO turbines was given at
the recent meeting of mechanical engi-
neers at Liverpool. There are now sixty
four turbine steamers in the merchant
service Of $4,000 horsepower; this is up
to December. 1905 In 1901 there was but
| one such steamer OF $500 horsepower.
In discussing the advance in marine
engineering the speakers declared that
very little is known about propeners.
The improved results with the great
Cunarders, which at first were In a sense
failures in regard to required speed. have
been got by varying the propeuers. This
reminds one Of the steamships Iris and
Mercury in 1878. when huge improvements
were made by changing the prOpellers.
Boilers have not changed much ex-

eleven TONS and is in the boiler Of a Liv-
erpool tUgboat, the Knight Errant.
The lower pressure possible with tur-

by the policeman and forcibly given to
understand that the little affair was not
the business of innocent bystanders.
The gentleman in question wrote as fol-
lows 10 the newspapers: 1.-THE men who
allowed this degrading spectacle to take
place without interference on their part
ought to hide their faces In shame for
all time to come. In any other civilized
country of the world, especially the Unit
ed States. such a happening would iave
been unthinkable. An American gentle
man would have risked anything-even
hanging 20 a lamp post-to defend a
woman in such circumstances. In the
Engiishman, Frenchman. japanese, Span
lard, even in the Turk. gallantry toward
women is an Unborn virtue. The Ameri-
can carries it almost to a point of fren-
zied eccentricity. And the German?
Tacitus wrote of the Teutons of the Ro-
man era that they guarded their woman
folk as the apples of their eyes. Why has
this olden German virtue completely van
ished?"
Another strong factor which will still
closer unite in friendship the United
States and Germany is the American Ex-
position which is TO be held in Berlin
from May to July of this year. This will
be an exclusively American affair. and
II Is expected that most Of the prominent
business establishments of this country

Conservatism as n Principle.

Clifford Pinchot, in January Southern Workman.
Conservation is a principle which you
can apply to almost anything YOU can
name There are q great many defni-
tons for It. We might say il IS the ap-
plication Of common sense to common
problems for the common good. 1t
means that all the people together have
a right to protect themselves against
evil. to look ahead, and provide them
selves with good. II means that the
people have the right and power TO take
care Of themselves. Finally, make the
very best use of what you have. That is
the rule that governs and controls the
success Of every man.

The author OF the words OF THE
Girl I Left Behind Me" has never
been identified. nor has it ever been
possible to ascertain who wrote the
music. Both were undoubtedly
written in the early part of the
eighteenth century, perhaps the
music even before that period.
According 90 a printed statement
of a man who has fully investigated
the subject. 1.-THE Girl ! Left Be

generally used by the British army
and navy men about 1850. upon their
departure from home. AS regiment
after regiment would march away
the bands would play the popular
Irish air, and the same is true when
the sailor boys would board their
vessels for a foreign cruise.
II Is related that about the middle
% the eighteenth century, in one OF
the regiments then quartered in the
south Of England. there was an
Irish bandmaster. This bandmaster
was young, handsome, and would
fall in love with every pretty face
he would meet in a very few min
utes. and this affection was usually
reCtpTocated. II is said that this
habit never Inconvenience him very
much. for he was able to fall out
just as quickly as he would fall IN,
IN 2 10 ne e.,

Whenever the troops were taking
their departure from a town at
which they had been stationed. he
would order the band 10 play, The
