The (d theory lliai the public will climb nl'tt stocks when they have hail a big a anee :io longer works, .lust why iie pindie will not come along in iu usual philanthropic fashion and re lieve the big leaders of their super fluous 'slocks, It does not tell; but there is i,.y one inleieuce, and that is the public knows better. In thes days the outside operator is a mud core wary individual than iie used to be. Experience lias proved a cosily but. thorough teacher, and the iinl vidual now depneds much less upon tips and gossip and more upon his own judgment and. the guidance of his broker than formerly. He may of course err at times; but this is a healthy tendency and one lhat will in ibe long run be more profitable than blindly following the leadership of those vvhw simply desire to-cast upci, him their surplus burdens. Money Market Situation. This wariness of the public, which is really an important element in the situation, is not the only re,-.-,oii for present unsteadiness. Security prices 'ire undoubtedly too high when men- ured by customary standards. As re peuledly stated in these advices. cheap money has been the most pow erful single influence in- the remark able recovery of f'l.ix. When cii'i money remained percent an.il less, dividend paying slocks appear ed particularly cheap. The acciiT.u lajion of iijle money following a pani. has always been a powerful stimulant for recovery, and ibis year, c-hi-ii'i money had more lifting power than in previous panics because of Its iarg er supply and the fast that the panic had less serious effects than usual in industrial and mercantile pursuits. '( it be conceded that cheap money w;,- the i lain cause of the rise, H foi ov. s i hii the niainteuiinee of thai rise iryely depends upon l he continuance f (Leap money. It is jusl hero thai lie stock market shows its weakest point. Alt indications suggest a slow but sure hardening of money rales. The stiffening which usually accom panies preparations for January dis bursements is of course only toinptir ary and should disappear by life mid lie of next month, iiul there are oth er and more permanent Influences :il work which mean higher inlere.t rales. Chief anions these will be the new demands for capital. In tie first eleven months of this year the new security issues were elimated at about $l,riiil.Uiio.oiiii, Hngiust fl.L'uU.- io ii i. the same time last year. Ol this total two-thirds, rounhly speau ins. were railroad issues.

Now that confidence is lieins re.stoi ed, such liet-ol iations will of course h resumed. Tliis means both a mai. i ia increase in lho supply of securities and higher rales of interest; condi tions which it is needless lo point out are not favorable to still hither prices. The tlllllie of the money mar ket, however, will lie affected by adll lional onshlei a1 ions.

SCORED ON IMPOLITE VISITOR Local Men Had Rather the Better Exchange of Compliments. of An English lawyer named Ralellffe was famous in, his circle for skepti cism and bis haired of religious things. One flme this Mr. Rateliffe had occasion to go to St. Albans, to lake testimony in a law case in which be was engaged. He amused himself during t lie proceedings by continually alluding to the town as .Mining, in stead of "St. Albans." Presently one of l lie lawyers pres ent asked: "Why do you call this place 'Al bans?'" "Because I don't like saints," said Mr. Rateliffe. -oh:" Nothing more was said on the sub ject, but by and by, the work being completed, the law ver rose to take bis departure. "Good-by, gentlemen," he said to the three or four St. Albans men who were present. "Good by, Mr. Cliffe," they all an swered at once. "What do you mean by calling mr .Mr. Cliffe?" lie exclaimed. ' Why, we don't like rals," said one of tlie St. Albans men. ARM IS LONGER THAN THE LEG Or It Should Be If the Person It Well Formed. There ere men whose arms when they walk are like a couple of excited pendulums, tiding to emulate the Stride of the leg, the liiiht arm swing itig in unison wMli tin- movement of the left leg. and the left arm keeping time with tlie right leg. The military man is taught not to swing his anus, tlie civilian swings expansively.- often covering a bigger radius than that cov 'red by bis legs. W hen a man swings his arms excessively he appears ti he paddling along When n man doesn't,s w ing his nuns at all be e,ei. to be advancing automat icalU . is altogether uncanny.

ILL OMEN OF SPILLING SALT Superstition Has Come Down to from the Ancient Romans. tiirls and boys have all heard, per haps, thai ii is "unlucky" to spill salt, but that the evil effects may probably he averted by throwing some of it over your right shoulder. II. is won derful how old solue of these super stitions are! This one about the salt, for example, . came to us from , ihe ancient Honuuis. Salt was regarded by them us an emblem of puriticaiioM, and they always placed some on the ead of a victim in sacrifice. If the sa.it were spilled in doing this, It. was looked upon at; a bud omen, it Is said thai lite Romans got the custom from the Jews, and alter a while tlie spilling of salt on any occa sion whs regarded lis unlucky. The custom ol .throwing a part of it over the right shoulder atone from their belief that auyibitig pertuinluR to the light side was lucky, but to ihe left ide, unluckv. All Germicides Not Good. Of hue many countries have been making official tests as to the value of germicides. As a result It is declared lhat the public should be careful in tlie selection of ii disinfect nut, for there are in the market many which have no germicidal action whatever. Prof. Hewlett, as a result of his tests, savs that not only is the public defrauded, but there Is also a grave danger Intro duced when a person believed he was using something which would totally destroy germs and was thereby lulled Into a sense of .security when in reali ty no sense of security was justified. He claims that for many veins psst sanitary authorities have been living in a fool's paradise vainly imagining that the fluids they have been sprink ling around have been dealing death uml destruction to ail germs and bac terial intruders. His advice is that before buying; a germicide the public should insist on receiving with it a opy of a report on lis value by a bne- riologlst or properly qualified medi cal man of standing.
