Chemist Had Acquired.

A manufacturer Of some patent com
pound came into the laboratory of an
analytical chemist one day with a bot
tie containing an unwholesome-lookin
mixture.

oil in this mixture separate"
The chemist looked at the bottle.
Very well, he said, write out your

Yes your check for 500. You say
you are willing to give that, and for
that price | am willing to tell you
what will make the water and oil sep

The visitor hesitated a moment, and
then wrote a check for the sum named.
The chemist carefully deposited it in
mis- pocketbook, and then quietly
dropped to the liquid a pinch of
common salt.
Instantly the water and oil separ-
ated, and whether the client was sat

His Compassion, but Became
His Beloved.

Mrs, Borman was a widow who kept
a boarding house in a small western
town. Her daughter. Alice. was a
scrawny little girl Of fourteen. Mrs.
Borman had been forced to take her
out OF school to help with the work;
washing dishes and waiting on table.
Jack Forbes, twenty-five was his
widowed mothers only child
wealthy, by the way. Jack had never
been strong, so he went West. He
came to live at Mrs. Borman's.
He felt sorry for the poor little
scrub of a girl and offered to send her
through school. He sent her away to
a private school and paid her bills
regularly, in a fatherly way, though
he never wrote her or went to see
her. With him 1t was simply an act
of compassion.
At twenty-five he ordered her home
to his mothers home, feeling that
there she could get some finishing
touches socially. Then he intended to
make schoolteacher out of her. In
the meantime he had gone into bust
ness. made a success of himself. and

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK MARKET.
Increased Liquidation Was Feature of Active pay-Sone New Low Records.

New York, July 17.-Increased liqui- dation, mainly for foreign interests, was the outstanding and depressing feature of today's active stock mar ket. with new low records in a num- Der of high grade railway securities. The selling, according to current re- port, came chiefly from London, but was said to be of French origin. It is understood that large amounts of American securities have been held in London for months past as collat- eral for loans made to Paris bankers. This collateral. gossip has 1t, was sub ject to certain conditions which have not been fulfilled, hence today's of- ferings.
 In a. measure the downward tend ency was accelerated by uneasiness arising from the situation between official advices from Washington in timating that Berlin's reply in the matter of submarine warfare would prove unacceptable opened fresh ave- nues of conjecture and speculation. As a whole, shares of the railroads comprising the southern group were most adversely affected. Louisville and Nashville fell 1-2 points to 105 1-z, Atlantic Coast Line six points to 9S, Illinois Central to 99 and Southern Railway preferred 4 1-2 to f6 1-2. With the exception of Allan
 
 these prices represented the lowest quotations in many years.
 In addition. Canadian Pacific and St. Paul fell to new prices of Al and IS 5-s. respectively. while Missouri Pacific made a new minimum at 7-s. Missouri Pacifics increased weakness was the direct outcome of the company's proposed capital re- adjustment, which imposes a $50 as- sessment on the common shares.
 All parts of the list were affected in greater or lesser degree. but United States Steel held more steady than any of the leaders, recovering half of its two point loss. Lowest prices were made in the last hour, but short covering contributed to a moderate rally at the end. Total sales were the largest of any recent day, aggregat- ing 537,000 shares.
 Railroad returns for May included Burlington's net increase of S431, ,000; St. Louis and Iron Mountains de- crease of $255,oO0, and Illinois Cen traPs decrease of $153.000.
