NEW YORK. April At times the market showed slight reactionary tendencies during the past week chiefly owing to the temptation tp take profits. The undertone. how ever, remained strong and there is still good reason for anticipating q continued active market and a still higher range of prices. Such eXpecta - lions are abundantly justified by the remarkable change which has taken place in business sentiment over the entire country Probably the volume of trade has not yet increased in proportion. but in due time general business is bound to reflect the more hopeful conditions which now pre- vail. The recovery in the steel and textile industries is already marked. and promises to spread in due season to other lines. Crop conditions are generally satisfactory. though spring is unusually late. one other indica- ton Of reviving confidence is the output of new securities. which in the last quarter amounted to over S75S, GOO. 900. an increase of more than
 
 year. \ portion of these issues was cf course intended for refunding pur- poses. but important new issues are still pending.
 The first stage of of presidential campaign is always marked by ex- treme distrust and uncertainty be- cause of the unknown possibilities which may develop. Yet whenever the time for nominations draws near. the outcome becomes more clear. and when platforms have been announced confidence revives and trade prompt ly recovers. The year 1912 is not likely to prove any exception to this rule. Distrust and conservatism obliged producers and distributors to follow a hand to- mouth policy for many months. Consumption mean while went on with slight diminution. The result is that the country is rel atively bare of manufactured goods, so that distributors and producers alike now find themselves compelled 10 make fresh ventures and new starts in order to satisfy positive re- qurements. Fortunately the excessive conservatism of the last year or two has not brought on any serious re- action. On the contrary. it has prov ed that the commerce. the industries and the finances of the country are in sound condition And new that doubt is at last disappearing tadical- ism declining and political opinion becoming more reasonable. there is every reason to look for progressive improvement for some time ahead. This feeling is shared by our great bankers and captains of industry up- on whom initiative depends. and is behind the present movement in stocks. The acquittal of the packers by a Chicago jury had favorable influence. inasmuch as it is likely to discourage prejudiced and malicious

INSTANT DEATH.

IL Is Not So Quick but That the Mind
Has Time to Act.
It is questionable if such a phenom-
enOn as instant death is known to the
scientist and investigators Physicians
and surgeons tell US that death by gun
shot wound is the easiest mode Of
terminating life; yet, rapid as such a
mode of taking off must necessarily be,
the body has leisure to feel and time
to reflect and on rare occasions even to
act.

his face and brought him to the ground.
In the instant which preceded stupe-
faction, however, he was able to frame
the notion that the ceiling of a room
had fallen in and crushed him.
Another question in this connection
is that of probable pain. Although nu-
merous instances could be cited in
support of the view that the mind acts
in cases of so called instant death, it

CATCHING the Sneakers Eye.

The practice of catching the speak
er's eye" dates back to the session Of
1910. when a heated dispute arose be
tween members of the house, several
Of whom claimed precedence of speech.
1t was then decided that whoever first
caught the speakers eye should have
the right to address the house. This
rule worked smoothly until 1888, when
Sir John Trevor was elected to the
chair. The new speaker was afflicted
with an abominable squint; consequent
Iy two members would often catch his
eye simultaneously and decline to give
way to one another. To obviate this a
further rule was framed to the effect
that the speaker should call by name
upon the member privileged to address
the house. So every holder Of the of
hce has TO possess a good memory for
names as well as keen eyesiSht.-Lon-

Diedrich Knickerbocker.

1t may be that a Dutchman named
KnickerbOcker did live in the early
history of New York, but if he did
there are no records extant to prove it.
The truth is, the name was created by
Washington Irving, who applied it to
all residents Of Now York in his time
who happened to be descended from
the early Dutch settlers. Irving used
this quaint Dutch character in his
"KnickerbOcker History of New York;
to burlesque the early days Of the city.
The volume puTpOrted to have been
the work of Diedrich Knickerbocker
and gave an amusing and satirical ac-
count of the early Dutch settlers. Rec
ords Of the period tell us that the book
bitterly offended their descendants,
who never fOrgave Irving for his fling
at them.-New York Times.

BRIGNOL! IN A RAGE.
An unappreeiative Audience and the
Famous Italian Tenor's Sym
pathetic Servant.

Rriguolf. the famous Italian tenor,
ALWAYS expected an encore, no matter
where or what he sang, and if it was
not forthcoming he was off in rage
instantly. In some small town he
sang his favorite song, Com Gent1l,
q serenade from DOniZetti's Don Pas
ouaIe," with unusual care and walked
of the stage perfectly satisfied, paus-
ing at the wings TO listen to the ap-
plause. To his utter amazement there
was not a sound of appreciation. He
strobe into the dressing room mutter-
ing that he would not respond to an
encore; he would refuse to sing an
other song. Still the house remained
silent. NO" he cried TO those about
him; Il refuse to sing again. I refuse
to respond to the encore"
Barbagelata, who was more clever
than the ordinary servant, humbly ap-
preached and said:
@SignOr BrignOh, you sang that like
an angel. The people could not appre-
ciate it"
The old fellow nearly wept.
'BarbageIata," he exclaimed, give
me your hand. l did not know you
were such a musician. Tagliapietra, I

CURIOUS DOMESTIC PETS.
Musical insects and Waiting Mice

Among the many curious domestic
pets of the japanese are their musical
insects and waltzing mice.

In the hush of dawn and at the close
Of summer days proceed quaint little

be said 10 waltz through the greater
part Of the waking hours of its life,
never firing, though its feet wear out
In the process. This peculiar little
rodent is black and white and has

seems to be as essential to the happi-
ness of this mouse as midair sOmer-

upright peg forms a convenient pivot
round which the mouse can whirl, but
