A Fine TaIkar.

"'I like the looks of this parrot" said the lady who had stepped into the bird store. ''Is he a good talker?' The pro prietor replied that the bird was an excellent talker, and it was evident the customer was favorably impressed
 What is your price for him?' she asked.
 The man had noticed the rich ap- parel worn by his customer, and be judged that there was a chance to make a little "easy money" at the ex- pense of one who would never miss it.
 ''Ten dollars he said, with just the slightest possible hesitation.
 Tive dollars. madam" instantly crooked the parrot.
 The lady looked at the proprietor, who had turned red.
 @He certainly is a fine talker,'' she said, land he also seems to have good sense. I am willing to take him at his own valuation! Do get him for that?''
 'FYou do,'' answered the bird man sadly.

Men bva Bluff.

When the armies of Napoleon were overrunning Europe, General Massena, with 1S,OO0 men, suddenly appeared before the Austrian town of Field kirch and demanded it's surrender. In- stead of complying, the burgonaaster issued orders that the church bells were to be set ringing and that the burghers, their wives and daughters, clad in holiday attire, were to assem- ble in the market square and there make merry.
 The result was exactly what he had hoped for. Massena heard the sounds of rejoicing, watched from the heights overlooking the town the gathering throngs in the streets and came to the conclusion that the townsfolk must have received intelligence that the Austrian army, which was believed to be somewhere in the vicinity, was ad- vancing to their relief.
 As to give battle there and then formed no part of Napoleon's general plan of action, Massena ordered a re- treat. Feldkirch was saved, and by a bluff, for as a matter of fact no reliev- ing force was anywhere near at the time.

STOCK MARKET 

New York, May 2s-opening: Reading continued it's spectacular to higher levels on the re- sumption of trading today, opening with a block of 5000 shares at no F. Wabash, U. S. Steel and some of the war shares made variable gains. Mer- canti1e Marine pfd.. Baldwin Locomo- tive, Mexican Petroleum and Indus trial Alcohol reflected the heaviness in special stocks.
 Noon: The broad and general ad vance of the first hour, which en- braced all rails Of prominence in vited heavy profit taking with reac- tions of 1 to 2 points. Reading fell back to 108M and became inactive Mexicans streng ngthened materially later with a rise of two points for American Sme1ting. Among spec ialties, however, the movement con- tinued somewhat mixed. New high records were made by Chandler Mo tors and Underwood Typewriter at par and 106 respectively. U. s. Steel continued backward and the muni- tions group was exceedingly irregu- lar. Bonds were firm.

of Finance

British blockade is showing it's effects by practically an entire stoppage of shipments to the Central Powers, and also by a large diminution in the ex- ports to neutral countries ambiguous to the Central Powers. In March the exports to Holland were only $10,000,- 900, a decrease of SIS 100000 compared with year ago, and exports to Den mark were $5,00O,000, a decrease of $6,000, GOO, while the exports to Sweden were $4,000. 900, decrease of $14, 900, 900. In this connection it may be men toned that the United States is not the only neutral nation that has made ig profits out of the war, Japan, Ho1- land, Denmark and Sweden having also benefited largely.
 The rise in securities outside of nu- hilton shares-whieh are a law unto themselves-has been sensib1y checked by foreign sales in this market and a realization that the present abnormal activity in business cannot indefinitely continue. Already there are signs of a halt in the upward movement Of commodities, Bradstreet's index mum Der for May 1 being 11-7485, against 11-7598 April 1. The May index num- Der shows rise of over 19 per cent, compared with a year ago, and has been chiefly due to the advance in metals, chemicals and such materials as were consumed by the requirern Of war. There are growing complaints
 
 ness. and not a few enterprises have been deferred owing to the high cost Of construction The policy of in creased discrimination on the part of bankers and lenders is also exerting a restraining Influence upon new busi- ness. 5I
 The outlook for the stock market is somewhat confused by numerous cross currents Munition shares were un- favorable influenced by peace talk, and may be adversely affected still further as the time grows near for ending hos tilities. The weakness of this class of securities, which absorbed so much
 peculative attention, naturally affected raging feature lately has been the de- cided strength of the railroad shares and a few of the better class indus trials. For reasons that are we'll known, railroad shares have been thought to be more attractive and safer as investments, especially. as their financial condition has been much improved by liberal gains in earnings besides which public hostility is on the wane, and the possibility of a strike is viewed with less apprehension than a month ago. There has been no such inhation in railroad securities as de- veloped in some of the industriaIs and commo odities, the only reason for this being the constant pressure of foreign liquidation. Peace prospects natural ly affect railroad shares favorabIy in asmuch as ending of the war would lessen the necessity of foreign Iiquida- ] tion. There is plenty of capital await ing investment, and railroads are en- titled to preference on their intrinsic merits

The Name Cuba.

Cuba is the name by which the 1B- land was originally known to the Lu- cayan Indians, who were with Colum- bus when he discovered it One of its villages or cities was called by them Cubanacan, and it is reported that from the similarity of sounds Colum- bus, still supposing himself to be on the coast of Asia, imagined that this must be a city of Kublai Khan, the Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco Polo. The survival of the original na2e for Cuba is 8 remarka b1e in stance. of persistence, as the island has been baptized and rebaptized many times since it's European discovery Colum bus first called it Juana in honor of Prince John, the son of Ferdinand and Isabella. After Ferdinand's death it was called in his memory Fernan- dina. Subsequently this name was changed to Santiago, after St. James, the patron saint of Spain. Still later 1t was named Ave Maria in honor of the Virgin Mary. But none of these names held, and the Indian name is still preserved.

The Social Scale.

Any one having acute information as to what the social scale is will kindly communicate with this office instanter. Although a favorfte expression in the best of authors families, dfligent re search fails to reveal it's true character, its limitations, denotations and connO- tations. The dictionary is very pains taking in telling us what scales are not only scales in general, but numer- ous varieties of scales in particular. It is similarly minute in defining the word social, but there is never a hint as to what the social scale is. How is it esta blished? It must measure something in connection with society. But what is it's unit of measurement? Ia 1t dollars per stratum, ancestors per

An,e;ent Corfu.

The island of Corfu claims a mari time history antedating that of Athens. According to tradition, this was the land of the Phaecians, and here U1ys- ses landed in the course of his wan derings, and on this sea shore that de Hghtful story had it's setting, which Homer tells, of how the hero received much needed hospitality and kindness at the hands of Nausicaa, the daughter of King Alcinous- perhaps the most beautiful episode in all the Odyssey" Indeed to this day two islands close to the shores of Corfu dispute the honor of being the ship of Ulysses turned : into stone.

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much q blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. It may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing. affects the
voice. deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat Of the trouble. purif1es the blood.
and is SO successful that it is known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hoods,
and insist on having it. There is no
real substitute.-Adv.
