Commercial Reaction.
St. Louis Republic.
Conditions in the commercial
sphere seem to hold out a warning
for greater conservatism in trans
actions of ali kinds. It appears
to be the general opinion of finan
ciers and persons well informed
that a reaction, leading up to a
readjustment of values, will take
j place, how soon and to wbat ex
tent cannot be foretold, and that
nearly all branches of industry
and commerce will be more or
leBs affected.
Probably no one perceives real
danger in prospect. However,
conditions denote a tendency to
ward a change of some sort, or at
least toward a halt in exaggerated
speculation, and there rare reasons
enough to put people, and partic
ularly small merchants and man
ufacturers, on their guard. Ten
dencies call for the exercise of
more conservative methods.
Speculation has sent the values
of many securities far above the
proper level, and the establish
ment of immense combines, with
fictitious capitals, has increased
the cost of most of the necessities
of life. Salary advances have not
kept pace, in a general way, with
the increase in the cost of living,
and it requires no master mind
to see that either the value of ar
ticles of common use must des
cend to a normal level, or sala
ries must be advanced.
It is more reasonable to suppose
that values will be affected than
that salaries will be changed. The
level can be more easily attained
by the adjustment of values of all
kinds than by attempts at adjust
ment of rates of compensation.
Values are subject to constant
fluctuation, and manipulators and
financiers have learned by expert
ence how to proceed in an emer
gency to prevent what might be a
disaster.
There is no intention to create
undue anxiety about conditions.
But nothing can be gained by si
lence concerning evident tenden
cies. It is quite probable that
something will be done to hold
the reaction in command and
compel the readjustment of values
to be, gradual. Nevertheless, it
appears to be a wise policy to
caution conservatism far enough
in advance to help those business
men who do not control vast cap
ital and who would not be able to
acquire large funds if funds were
promptly needed at a time of gen
eral demand.

Ingersoll’s Mistaken Prophecy.
Pacific Methodist Advocate.
Twenty-five years ago Robert
Ingersoll declared in a public lec
ture that the Bible Avas an explod
ed book; that its sales were fall
ing off rapidly, and that within
ten years'it would not be read
any more. But since then six
Bible houses have been estab
lished and the sale of the Bible
has been quadrupled; Thie Amer
ican Bible Society alone issued
1.500.000 Bibles last year, and
the British Foreign Bible Society
more than 6,000,000. Other Bi
ble companies show correspond
ingly large outputs.. The, total
number of Bibles in English
alone, produced in a single year,
is Upwards of 10,000,000 copies.
The Oxford Press turns out 20,-
000 Bibles in a week. More than
40.000 sheets of gold are used in
lettering the volumes, and the
skins of 100,000 animals go into
Oxford Bible covers each year.
The British and Foreign Bible
Society prints the Bible in 400
languages.
During the first year of Ameri
ca’s rule in the Phillipines, 10,700
Bibles Avere distributed there.
Contrary to expectation, since
the Boxer insurection in China,
the issue of Bibles for China last
year was 428,000 copies.
The fact is, the Bible to-day is
the most popular book in the
world, and more copies are sold
than of any hundred other books
combined.
A Warning Against Crossod Legs.
Hs Made the First Revolver.
It cannot justly be said that
Joseph Shirk of Lanchester, Pa.,
who died the other day, contribu
ted very largely to the happiness
of his fellow-men, but as he Avas
tlie main Avho made the first re
volver, he doubtless performed a
very useful service, as things go
in this world.. While tho revol
ver’is not a very large weapon, it
has probably snuffed more per
sons out of existance since it
came into being, under Mr.
Shirk’s hands, forty years ago,
t>han many, more.formidable en
gines of war. While its Rbark is
not as loud as a cannon, its bite
is usually just as bad, and it is a
good deal handier, for burglars
and other bad men to carry
arouiid.—Leslie’s Weeldey.
In the islands of the outer He
brides, far out in the Atlantic
ocean, exists a peculiar breed of
four horned sheep. A specimen
reoently examined by a tourist
had four remarkable horns. The
first pair above the eyes Avere the
smaller pair. .and curved about
the face in a very curious man
ner. One horn just grazed the
nose, while the other curled round
aud underneath the chin; neither
of them interfered with the ani
mal’s feeding. The upper pair of
horns were very long and massive.
Miss Death was recently opera
ted upon in Philadelphia for ap
pendicitis hyDr.Dye,her day nurse
being Miss Payne and her night
nurse Miss Grone. Strange to
say she survived and returned
sound and whole to the house of
her father, an undertaker.

“Uncross your legs,” said a
doctor.
“Oh, col” said his son. “What’s
the use of being so polite all the
time?”
“My boy,” the father answered,
“it is not on account of a mere
rule of etiquette that I tell you to
uncross your -legs, but it is be
cause leg-crossing is an injurious
thing—a thing as baleful to the
health as kissing or as microbes.
M Wheu you cross your legs you
fit the kneecap of the lower limb
into the cavity under the knee of
the upper one. In the cavity that
you thus compress there are the
two important exterior and inte
rior popliteal nerves and a num
ber of glands and blood vessels.
Compression does not act well on
these organs. It benumbs them
and weakens and emaciates them.
You feel the injury in a numbness
of the Avhole leg—the leg goes to
sleep.
“Keep on with the habit and
your legs Aveaken. They become
thin. They lose their shapeliness.
It is only such men and women
and children as never cross their
legs Avho have strong and supple
and beautiful limbs.”
It is encouraging to friends of
public eduation to read the fol
lowing from Hon. James B. Fra
zier, the Democratic governor of
Tennessee : “The department of
the state government which comes
closest to the people is that of
public schools. I need not tell
you that education is tho great
bulwark and safeguard of a free
people. I need not tell you that
education and prosperity go hand
in hand. I need not tell you that
the richest and most valuable as
set of this great and rich state is
not its mines and its factories,
its forests and its farms, but it is
the 800,000 boys and girls of Ten
nessee who are to make its future
citizenship and to build fer it its
wealth and its power.”

Putting food into a diseased
stomach is like putting money
into a pocket with holes. The
money is lost. All its value goes
for nothing. When the stomach
is diseased, with the allied organs
of digestion and nutrition, the
food which is put into it is large
ly lost. The nutriment is not ex
tracted from it. The body is weak
and the blood impoverished.
The pocket can he mended.
The stomach can be cured. That
sterling medicine for the stomach
and blood, Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery, acts with pe
culiar promptness and power on
the organs of digestion and nu
trition. It is a positive cure for
almost all disorders of these or
gans, and cures also such diseases
of the heart, blood, liver and oth
er organs, as have their cause in a
weak or diseased condition of the
Stomach.
