hostilities hastening the end. Mexi- can affairs have settled down into a state of quietude, which may be per manent if the conciliatory spirit on both sides proves sincere and stable. The domestic political campaign has not yet started, and the real drive will not begin until both candidates have formally announced their acceptances and policies. General business is fairly active but summer quiet is spreading. Some improvement is re- ported in the crop situation as re- suit of the warm spell. Corn crop was estimated by the government report at 2,866, 100000 bushels before the recent rise in temperature, or only 80,000,- GOO below last year; and the wheat crop at 59,00O,O0O or 252,OOO,oO0 bushels less than last year. But 73,- COO,0O0 bushels of wheat are left in farmers hands from last year, and it must not be overlooked that last years crop of wheaat was phenomenal and corn exceeded the record. Bank clearings and railroad earnings prove by their large gains the sustained in crease of business activity. Such figures are of course affected by high prices; though the upward tendency in many commodities has been stopped, and not a few articles have declined with indications of further weakness coming
 There is a confident spirit among business men in general, based upon a. sound development of the countrv's resources, and no longer upon the war which seems to have spent it's extreme influence upon American business affairs In future the war will be a factor chiefly in the ap- proach of peace, which in some cases will naturally require radical adjust nlent of output and prices to the new basis. This process has already begun; transactions on the stock exchange were moderate in proportions. Liquidation in the industrials con- tinued, especially in munition, cooper and auto shares winch have had an exaggerated rise and subsequent fall. Railroad shares held their own we'll. justifying the advice to discriminate in their favor. For the time being the | stock market must be considered in | fluenced by the monetary outlook, and 1 the prospect of large foreign loan | issues which absorb considerable of | the current investment capacity. On | the other hand it should be borne in | mind that the issue of these collateral 1 loans will withdraw large amounts of high grade investments that other wise would be pressing on the market This prevents liquidation that ordi- nerily would accompany new war [oans The market for foreign se- curities on this side is making Q re- narkably satisfactory growth, and promises to be a permanent depar- lure; besides being positive proof of our expanding interest in foreign affairs.

Coast Guard Service Starts to Rid
 Coast of Menace.

Washington, July 15.-The coast guard service took up today active direction of efforts to rid the North Atlantic coast of sharks which have cleared many beaches of bathers. The life saving service will render aid.
 The plan of the coast guard is to ascertain first whether the sharks are few in number or travel in large schools.

PsychoIoqy of Laughter.

In his book, "A Raw Youth Dos toevsky has a page on laughter, which he regards as the surest test of the heart, and suggests that girl may well choose her husband (when in doubt) by the quality of his laugh. which win be symptom of his na- ture, for to know how. to laugh Is a gift. "A man Will sometimes give himself away completely by his laugh, and you suddenly know him through and through" Most essential 1n, good laughter Is sincerity and free6bm from hatce. A sincere laugh, free from malice, is gayety.
 "A mans gayety Is what most be- trays the whole man froHn- head to foot. Sometimes one ,win be for. a long time unable to read character. but if tho man begins to laugh his whole character will suddenly lie open before you. And 50 if you want to sec into a man and to understand his soul don't concentrate your attention on the way he talks or Is sileht, on his tears or the emotion he displays over exalted ideas. You will see through him bet ter when he laughs"
