STOCK MARKET
MAKES GAINS
Slight Recovery From the Depressing
Eneets Of last Saturday on
Monday.

NEW YORK, March ls.-The stock
market to-day made considerable re-
covery from Its unsettlement OF last
Saturday. hen pwrices fell on fears OF
political and industrial disturbances
abroad. Today's movement was not
altogether impressive. however. In as.
much as no small part of the strength
and activity converged around stocks
which never nave exercised much In.
fuence a. market factors. These In.
cluded Erie. Missouri Pacific and
American Can common and preferred.
some idea OF the anomalous move
ments OF the session may be gathered
from the fact that until 2 o'clock Erie
common was the most active feature
stock. its sales being greater than
those OF any other Issue. while Mis-
souri, Pacific was more active than
Union Pacific. m the dealings in the
Can shares were much larger than in
stocks whose course has often been
accepted as significant.
There was further selling for Lon.
don account. though the volume was
less than last Saturdays. London
markets were heavy. as were other
exchanges on the continent. while n
slump was reported on the st. Peters.
burg exchange. In fine. the foreign
situation seemed TO offer some warran,
for last weeks rumors which went sc
far as TO threaten the peace of Eu
rope"
The market took on its strongest
tone in the final hour. when II became
known that the United States supreme
court would not hand down any deci
sions of Importance and would adjourn
for a fortnight. Traders then took uI
the active stocks. which speedily ad
vanced from n to WI points. There
were recessions from top prices. but
the closing was strong and active. II
embraced a better demand for share:
OF the railroads in the western anC
southwestern territories. which prob
ably resulted from the improved croI
prospects in those sections Genera
conditions, so far as they dealt with
the industrial outlook hero and abroad
were virtually unchanged.
Western traffic conditions are i'm
proving. One of the most hopeful
features respecting hat section is &c
be found in the steady piling UP o.
bank deposits at reserve centers, indi
eating that a large part OF the usua.
drain on this center for crop movin,
requirements will be obviated.
The bond market was fe~atureless
aside from its frmness. Total sales
par value aggregated s2.621,0OO.
u. s. governments were unchanged
on call.

Peril of Overstudy.

The suicide OF promising young
college student and the recent break
down OF young girl who had come
from distance to Boston to acquire
higher education are instances which
serve to call attention to the peril that
lies In overstudy. To be studious Is
admirable, but to devote ones ener-
giles to the acquiring OF book knowl
edge with such application that the
mind collapses and judgment Is de-
throned is pitiful.
There is middle ground between in
difference and extreme zeal that every
pupil should endeavor to attain 1t 10
better to be near the foot of the class
and have health and strength and a
fair working knowledge than to be
among the leaders and a nervous
wreck Teachers should give kindly
advice to students who are inclined to
overstudy. and parents should be
watchful and prevent injurious devo-
ton to studies. thoughtful word In
time may save many girl from
breaking down.

New Disease Battles Doctors.

A mysterious new disease has bro
ken out in the Fylde District OF Ian
cashire, Eng, and is seriously exer.
cising the medical profession.
At a meeting OF the sanitary com.
mittee of the Garstang Board OF Guar
dams. Doctor Sergeant, the county
medical officer OF health, stated that
the name OF the disease was polio
melites." and as II affected young
children there was great deal Of
tragedy about IT,
The symptoms were those OF para.
lysis, involving the loss of the use OF
one or more limbs more especially the
legs. AS far as the medical investiga-
