MANY IMPORTANT MARKET FEATURES

AH of Those Last Week Expected, and Market Was Left in Neglect. SPEECH RECEIVED WELL.

TAFT'S NOTIFICATION ADDRESS INSPIRED CONFIDENCE AND WAS APPROVED INCREASE IN CONFIDENCE SHOWN.

New York, Aug. 3. Much occurred last week of Interest and Importance from a financial standpoint, but so i much of it had been expected and act-! ed upon by anticipation in the stock j market that the passing of the week's ; events left the market in a condition 1 0t neglect and dullness. The irregular tone of tho market for securities ' was an index of an uncertain mood . over the future rather than of the dissatisfaction with the accomplishment Bhown by the week's events. The delivery of the speech of acceptance by the republican nominee for the presidency did not find the fini ancial community unprepared for its . contents and its approval had been ex- ' pressed by previous buying of stocks at advancing prices. The satisfaction was directed especially to the express- ', ed purpose of the candidate "to interfere with legitimate business as little ' as possible in perfecting methods for ! the continuance of the policy of his ! predecessor." The publication of the report of the quarterly earnings of United States i Steel Corporation was definitely fixed I for Tuesday of last week, and, as is i not unusual, preliminary estimates of '. the showing proved to have been quite i accurate, leaving little In the way of I fresh action to be taken beyond the I natural profit taking which followed the confirmation of exepcted events. Earnings Increase Confidence. The lncraese In earnings over the ; previous quarter was an Incentive to ' the growth of confidence over tho busJ iness outlook which has been growing up In the financial district, but the ' falling off in volume of orders on hand on June 30 to a lower total than since the September quarter of 1904, proved a partial offset to this Influence. The June 30 condition of tho order books was of less effect than tho supplementary statement that the daily average of orders booked during July had risen to 72 per cent of the full capacity of the works. The continued withholding of orders for rails by the railroad companies Is a feature of the situation, and the trade journals of authority in the Industry utter a note of admonition against undue estimato of the rate of recuperation. In the field of larger policies of corporations and capitalists there were Important developments. The terms of settlement of the $8,000,000 Wheeling and Lake Erie notes maturing August 1 were not announced, but countenace was given by the principals to the transaction to representatives that advances from the Harriman group figured in tho settlement. Assumptions were based on these admissions that former differences had been reconciled, insuring the neutralization of the Western Pacific and the Atlantic coast extension project of the Gould system, and special advantage of the Erie from the disposition of the properties Included in that project. On this basis were built up Inferences and detailed assertions of a campre'henslve harmonization among the great financial groups which were In conflict In the Northern Pacific and the Northern Securities struggles.

PEPYS AS A PLAYGOER. The Time Whew Wom First Ap. peare4 tbe Eaglitb Stave. In the methods of producing plays Pepys period of playgoing was coeval with many most important innovations which seriously affected the presentation of Shakespeare on the stage. The chief was the substitution of women for boys in female roles. During the first few months of Pepys theatrical experience boys were still taking the women's parts. That the practice survived In the first days of Charles II.'s reign we know from the well worn anecdote that when the king sent behind the scenes to Inquire why the play of "Hamlet," which he had come to see, was so late in commencing he was answered that the queen was not yet shaved. But in tbe opening month of 1661, within five months of his first visit to a theater, the reign of tbe boys ended. On Jan. 3 of that year Pepys writes that he "first saw women come upon the stage." Next night he makes entry of a boy's performance of a woman's part, and that is theflnal record of boys masquerading as women in the English theater. I believe the practice now survives nowhere except in Japan. This mode of representation has always been a great puzzle to students of Elizabethan drama. It is difficult to imagine what boys In Shakespeare's day, If they were anything like boys of our own day, made of such parts as Lady Macbeth or Cleopatra. Before, however, Pepys saw Shakespeare's work on the stage the usurpation of the boys was over. It was after the Restoration, too, that scenery, rich costume and scenic machinery became, to Pepys' delight, regular features of the theater. When the diarist saw "Hamlet" "done with scenes" for the first time he was most favorably impressed. Musical accompaniment was known to prerestoration days, but the orchestra was now for the first time placed on the floor of the house in front of the stage instead of in a side gallery. The musical accompaniment of plays developed very rapidly, and the methods of opera were applied to many of Shakespeare's pieces, notably to "The Tempest" and "Macbeth."

These berries grow In clusters on low bushes right on the very brink of the brimstone beds and are so numerous that a bushel may be easily gathered in half an hour. In appearance they somewhat resemble a cranberry, and the flavor is pleasantly suggestive of grapes.

Th Word "Empire. "Expire" in Its literal sense is breathing out. Inspiration and expiration together constitute respiration. Izaak

Walton observed that "if the Inspiring ' or expiring organ of any animal be stopt it suddenly dies." The Romans spoke of "breathing out" the breath of life instead of "dying." by way of , euphemism. Just as they said "Vixit" ; (he has lived) instead of "he is dead." : In all languages the reluctance frankly to say "dead" or "die" appears; hence such words and phrases as "pass away," "decease," "demise," "the departed," "defunct," "the late," "no

more," "if anything should Happen to me."

andwno have known nothing of work when suddenly thrown upon their own resources by the loss of property or compelled even to support their once wealthy parents develop remarkable ttrength and personal power. Young men, too, sometimes surprise everybody when suddenly left to carry on their father's business unaided. They develop force and power which no one dreamed they possessed. We never know what we can do until we are put to the test by some great emergency or tremendous responsibility. When we feel that we are cut off from outside resources and must depend absolutely upon ourselves we can fight with all the force of desperation. The trouble with working for others is the cramping of the individuality the lack of opportunity to expand along original and progressive lines because fear of making a mistake and apprehension lest we take too great risks are constantly hampering the executive, tbe creative, the original faculties.

How soon we learn that the average man's bark Is about al! there is to him. When people say anything good about you, ever notice what a few are present? We all of us claim to be natural, but we all of us, know that the only time when we are not putting on is when we are asleep. Somehow the hundred dollars some other man has always looks larger and as if it should go further than the hundred dollars you have. There are not many sights more depressing than to meet a farmer's wagon on a country road going out from town with a coffin in It.

Hawaiian Huckleberry. On the island of Hawaii are great thickets of the ohelo, or Hawaiian huckleberry (Vaceinium retlcu latum), which the natives consider sacred to Pele, the goddess who is supposed to preside over the famous crater of Kilauea, and which, together with white pigs and chickens, are thrown by them into the boiling red lake during an eruption to appease the wrath of the aggressive dam. and. thus cause the.rivers of la.va

There is a stringent law in Japan that when one camphor laurel is cut down another must be planted In Its 'place. The tree is hardy and long lived, attaining to an enormous size. It is covered with a small leaf of a vivid j green color. The seed, or berries, grow i

In clusters, resembling the black currant In size and appearance. And the wood Is employed for every purpose, from cablnetmaking to shipbuilding.

WORK f-OH YOURSELF."

Then loa Will Have a Chance te Develop Your Individuality. It Is well known that long continued employment in the service of others often cripples originality and individuality. That resourcefulness and inventiveness which come from perpetual stretching of the mind to meet emergencies or from adjustment of means to ends is seldom developed to its utmost in those who work for others. There is not the same compelling motive to expand, to reach out, to take risks or to plan for oneself when the programme is made for him by another. Our self made meu, who refused to remain employees or subordinates, are the backbone of the nation. They are the sinews of our country's life. They got their power as the northern oak gets its strength, by fighting every inch of its way up from the acorn with storm and tempest. It is the hard schooling that the self made man gets In his struggles to elevate and make a place for himself in the world that develops him. Some employees have a pride in working for a great institution. Their identity with it pleases them. But isn't even a small business of your own, which gives you freedom and scepe to develop your individuality and to be yourself, better than being a perpetual clerk In a large Institution, where you are merely one cog in a wheel of a vast machine? The sense of personal responsibility is In itself a great educator, a powerful schoolmaster. Sometimes young women wbo hn ve ben hroueht. no Jn uixurjc

Cap'n Bill's Explanation. After the visitors to the island of Nantucket had covered the course over which sightseers are always conducted, says a writer in the Boston Herald, one of the ladies of the party requested that the drive be continued to "Sheep pond." "The place where the natives used to wash the wool on their sheep In the old days," she supplemented. "Everybody goes to see it." The driver and guide, Cap'n Bill, looked perplexed. He was evidently puzzled as to the location of this interesting sheet of water. But an old sailor and town character is rarely nonplused, and presently Cap'n Bill snapped his whip, determination in his eye. He drove to a neighboring hill and stopped his horses. "Here 'tis," he said, with a sweep of his hand. "I don't see any water!" was the general exclamation. "Not now," Cap'n Bill gravely admitted. "You see, the sheep was so dirty that the bloom in' pond got filled up." Youth's Companion.

Leisure. Leisnre is an obsolete form of kill

ing time. It once existed in large quantities. It Is now, however, a thing of the past. Leisure at one time was used quite extensively to product

statue?, laws, legends, poems and oth

er masterpieces. Its place has now been taken by labor saving device

that turn out figures, franchises, gossip

doggerel and other quick sellers. Will

leisure ever come in again? Not as

long as there ore things to advertise

The Great Clock at Ronen. The ancient city of Rouen, France, owns the very earliest specimen of the larger varieties of the ancient clock makers' triumphs. It was made by Jehan de Felalns and was finished and Bet going in September, 13S9. So perfect in construction is this ancient time recording machine that, although it has been regularly striking the hours, halves and quarters for centuries. It Is still used as a regulator. The case of this early horological oddity is six feet eight Inches In height by five inches broad. For 323 years It continued to run without a pendulum, being provided with what the old time clock makers called a "foliot."

An Honeat Man. Hiram Stroode for the seventh time was about to fail. He called in an expert accountant to disentagle his books. The accountant after two days work announced to Hiram that he would be able to pay his creditors 4 cents on the dollar. At this news the old man looked vexed. "Heretofore," he said, frowning, "I have always paid 10 cents on the dollar." A virtuous and benevolent expression spread over his face. "And I will do so now," he resumed. "I will make up the difference out of my own pocket."
