 Even though the rally has elimi- mated part of the short interest it is clear that there is a considerable eIe- ment ready to make fresh commit ments on any encouragement, while the number of bulls with courage of aggressive has given sign of in- crease. Apparently there is a prom ise of at least a two-sided market in place of the one downward current that ran through the late Summer. It is true that to carry improvement in the markets further we must have proof either of political or industrial betterment. With sound business fundamentals, however, the country is in a position to resist pressure at the low level reached by investments and to respond in fair degree to any encouraging development.

The conclusion that wheat bread is
unfit for dyspeptics, sometimes jump
ed at because i'll effects are noticed to
follow its use. is erroneous. On the
contrary. it has been pointed out by
Bouchard and others that farinaceous
food is peculiarly adapted to some dys-
peptic patients. 1t is the microbes in
the starch which are capable of pro-
ducing irritating acids that cause the
trouble. To avoid this Bouchard rec
ommends that only the crust or toast
ed crumbs of the bread be used by
dyspeptics, particularly those whose
stomachs are dilated The reason Of
this is explained by the fact that bak-
ing temporarily, though not perma-
nently, arrests the fermentation of
dough. When 1t Is again heated by
the warmth of the stomach the fer
mentation is renewed. In cases where
the bread is toasted brown through
the fermentation is stopped perma-

E Pluribus Unun.

The country is indebted to jain Adj
ans for its national motto, with an
Englishman Of note sharing in the
honor. 1t seems that while Adams
was minister to England Sir John
Prestwick, an eminent English anti
quarry, suggested to him good motto
to represent the union of the American
colonies. Adams Mt once was taken
with the idea. which he transmitted to
Charles Thompson. the secretary Of
congress. who on June 20. 1882, report
ed to that body his design for gov.
eminent seal. In this the Latin legend
"E Pluribus unum" was to be borne
on a ribbon held in the beak Of an
eagle.
Just where Sir John got the idea is
not certain, but 1t is fact that the
motto was in use on the cover Of the
GentIemans Magazine, first publish
ed in 1880, and it may have struck his
fancy by its applicability to the stu
alton then obtaining in America.

A Sight That Checked Her Royal Elk

travagance For Awhile.
We are accustomed to think that the
day is long past when sovereign
could Cypress and offend whole king
dom by personal extravaganza. But
the late Isabella Of Spain belonged in
spirit to the sixteenth century. An in.
cident of her reckless eareer-which
ended in the loss OF the throne-is not
ed in Munsey's Magazine.
She spent money. pouring it out like
water, at time when the treasury
was nearly bankrupt and when the
proverb poor as a Spaniard" was
far too true. All her best advisers
urged her to practice economy. Very
few of them succeeded, and these only
for short time.
A certain chamberlain of hers once
bit upon plan TO make her realize
how enormous were the sums that she
was spending Passing through the
hall of the palace, she was surprised
to see vast heap of silver pieces, re-
sembling the contents Of a great bin
of wheat, but piled up in the middle
of the floor. The queen summoned her
chamberlain.
"What is the meaning Of all this
money!" she demanded of him.
"Oh," he replied, with a low bow,
"this is merely the amount which |
have brought out to pay the bill of
your majesty's glovemaker."
The queen colored and then, laughed,
and for several months she was less
extravagant in her expenditures for
clothes.

Even the most expensive qualities
of wolfe, the smart yelling fabric,

HoN0RED THE MONKEY. 4
Origin Of the Coat of Arms Of the Earl
Of Leinster.

of Leinster.
Most Of the wild auimals have a
place in heraldry, and many strange
and impossible creatures, such as GRIT
fins, dragons and uHicorns, have been
invented as emblems Of daring and
vaIor But the donkey and the mon
key have not been so used, except in
one instance, where the monkey has
been admitted to the ranks of titled
nobility. The story of this adoption
is told by Mr., Curtis in his book,
"One Irish Summer"
On the Leinster coat of arms are
three monkeys standing with plain
collar and chained; motto, "Crom.a-
boo "To Victory" This is the only
coat of arms, am told. that has ever
borne monkey In the design II was
adopted by John Fitzthomas Fitzger-
aid in 1916 for romantic reasons.
While this Earl of Leinster was an
infant he was in the castle of Wood
stock. which is now owned by the
Duke Of Marlborough. The castle
caught fire. In the confusion the child
was forgotten, and when the family
and servants remembered him and
started search they found the nur-
sery in ruins. But on one of the tow
ers was gigantic ape, pet OF the
family, carefully holding the young
earl in his arms. The animal, with
extraordinary intelligence. had crawl
ed through the smoke, rescued the
baby and carried it to the top OF the
tower.
When the earl had grown to man
hood he discarded the family coat of
arms and adopted the monkeys for
his crest, and they have been retained
to this day. Wherever you find the
