SPECULATING ON MARGIN.

Am erican and English Ways of
Doing 1t Are Very Different.
In America a spectators 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 it's bad name than
all the episodes of an unsavory ma
ture which have ever occurred on
American exchanges. In London after
the inevitable introduction to 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
Element 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 Spectator
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 it.
That this method works out witch
fewer losses in England that it would
do here is due to the fact that the So
cial and economic strata to which an
Englishman belongs are much easier
to determine than the corresponding
facts among us, and also that an in,

PRODUCTION means more there tnan
here. as the introducer is regarded as
to certain extent responsible NOR
ally for the business department OF MS
friend
It is worth while observing Jana
this is the exception referred to aooVe)
that in certain instances the methoos
pursued in American stock exchange
houses are the same as those obtain
ing in London. Little as the fact IS
known. it is not an unfrequent CUSTOM
for very wealthy spectators to nave
no fixed margin or even no margin at
all with their brokers.
If a man of this sort loses on
commitment he sends his broker a
check for the loss; If he wins his pro-
kers remit to him for his gains. me
broker dislikes to offend very pow
erful client by troubling him for funds
and hence takes risks with MS
account which he would not dream OF
taking with the account Of smaller
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 Stills.

Novel Hot-Season Home to BE Erect
ed at Great River, l.. 1.
bungalow on stills is TO be erected
in Great River, L. l., adjoining the
estates of W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., Bay
ard Cutting, Frederick G. Bourne ana
other wealthy men. Undoubtedly II
will be the oldest hot-Weather resi-
dence ever constructed.
1t 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,
Hacksack architect, to prepare the
plans. Mr.. Buckhout described them
last night in this way:
-Four hollow steel poles or masts,
each fortyAdve feet in length and eight
inches in diameter, will support
platform twenty-five feet square. Inc
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 door in the under
side of the platform This stairway Is
fitted with a gateway that can be
closed at will by the occupants OF the
bungalow, so as to shut out undesr-
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 conven1ences.
Every precaution will be taken to In
sure the safety of its occupants from
winds and thunderstorms. 1t will also
be fitted with an anti-swaying device
that has been invented by Mr.. Barnes
himself"
II the experiment turns out to be
success, as Mr.. Barnes believes 1t VIII.
it is possible that bungalows on stlits
will become popular.

The back to nature" movement
among the ultra-civilized has assumed
certain forms which make it fair
sport for the comic spirits OF the press
and the stage. Clever farces have been
produced in which the element Of
humbug in the alleged simplicity Of
swelldom and plutocracy has been
amusingly caricatured. while the
bungalow" craze has not escaped the
shafts of the paragraphers, There
are, however, others who are dissatis3
fed with the simple life. To them
back to nature" means something
more than plain living in the country,
dispensing with luxury and artificial
ty. What they banker for Is the wild
life, a reversion to primitive condi-
lions 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 way; with our best
clothes and worldly estate left far in
the background, we must go forth
|
| to see and hear what our spinning
world may have to cOnf1de to us"
| And the responsive editor tells with
! pleasure of a new mode Of Vagabon-
dage that is spring1ng up in England
and Scotland. Men go off in cara
vans, with 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 it's 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 nationally followed, and
| the call of the wild, Of untamed ma
ture, of the touch of savagery-m1nus
cruelty-should be answered occasion
ally by the highest product Of evo-
| luton"

as cordial as anyone could desire. Nc
other song has quite the same effect
in a patriotic sense, and aside from
the association 1t has all the elements
of popularity. The lively air would
set any crowd in motion and arouse
the enthusiasm Of any race or ma
tionality. 1t Is for every tribe and
every class. But it must still be
heard in our southern states to be
heard at it's best. The true southern.
.er sings it with unequaled fervor, and
he alone can instruct the world in all
its possibilities.

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
office unknown. He offers to marry
Carrie Nation. All other yalorous
deeds sink into insignificance beside
this deed. Even the great faunaI nat
uralist now tearing Nairobian lions
limb from limb and eating them raw
appears like an arrant coward oom-
pared with Slater of Virginia.

The chief of the division of music
of the Library of Congress has an
nounced that pixie" is the first of
American songs in patriotic popu-
Iarity." 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 1t 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 aew and more
perfect union. 1t appeals to every
generous impulse, and the response is

President Taft, who wore a loose
lifting suit of clothes when he met
President Diaz on the Mexican border
last month, did not please the Next
can newspapers. The editor of one of
them thought he should have been
dressed in a 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
by every other American citizen.

A DOuEhnut Hint.

Doughnuts are much improved 4
they are coated with a layer of sugar
as soon as they are taken from the
stove. The best way to powder them
Is to put small amount of confec,
toner's sugar in a paper bag and put
several doughnuts in the bag at a
time and then shake the bag, holding
the top of the bag closed. This will
coat them with sugar quickly and
more evenly than any other way.

A Connecticut man left all his es-

condition that she do not marry again.
She probably has just years enough
left to break the will and none to
marry, so that the deceased will win

Following the Band.

Once upon a time a Philadelphia
layer 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
with swords and axes; stumpy negroes
with Masonic banners, lean negroes
with Pythian devices, fat negroes with
Odd Fellows insignia, miscellaneous
negroes with miscellaneous emblems.
The Philadelphia pushed through
the crowd and ran back in great ex-
element 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 prom
inent politician-and asked, Tom
what's the occasion of all this pa
rade?"
The young negro laughed. Now
ledge, you ought to know dat mig,
ger don't need no 'casion for a pa.
rade.'
Tom had spoken a mouthful. Pa,
geantry appeals to the Negroes 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.

A HOSPITAL FOR NEGROES
URGED BY AID SOCIETY.
Reasons Given For Such a
Charity.

Times-Reeorder; The Benevolent
Aid Society asks for space In your
paper that Is ever willing to advocate
the right, in which to urge pressing
need of the city and county, ne
gro hospital.
AS most of US know, the negro set
t.ements as a rule are In the more
unhealthy portions of the city, dense
ly packed and unsanitary.
Most of them know nothing OF by.
giene or the simplest care OF the
sick. In very many instances the
sick are destitute of means and with
out family or friends to care for
them.
This imposes heavy burden and
expense to care for them in is5lat-
ed cases-more than it would If there
were hospital to which they could
be sent and treated.
knowing these facts the society ap-
reals to the officials Of the county and
city to assist tie people to aid in the
erection of this hospital. and we ear
nestly hope that this appeal will not
be dismissed as unnecessary or Wis
jonsrv, tut that action may be taken
towards its fulfllment.
