An interesting question often asked I In Wall street concerns the amount of ( capili.l that a large hank could raise at an hour’s notice. That is, how much accommodation could a bank extend a customer unexpectedly confronted with j pressing need or for the purpose of financing a big deal. A banker of in ternational experience is authority for • the statement that Wall street’s facili ties in this regard are superio* to Lon don’s in that a large undertaking could be financed here with much greater dispatch than on the other side. Said an officer of one of Wall street’s most important banks: “It is no trou ble at all nowadays to raise $5,000,000 or $0,000,000 within an hour. I have 1 seen it done too often to think for a moment that it would tax seriously a large bank’s resources. Five times that sum, say $25,000,000, can be raised at twenty-four hours’ notice. It has been done. Of course no one bank could do it, hut the great Wall street institu tions are linked together in such a way as to provide almost unlimited re sources for the financing of any safe deal. The large banks think little of $1,000,000 or $2,000,000 loans these days, whereas in former years they at tracted general attention, for such large amounts were released .only after con siderable negotiation. But that has all changed now.”—New York Mail and Express. Picture* and the Eye. Sir Thomas Lawrence, an eminent English painter and president of the Itoyal academy, commended the pic tures of a young artist and then said to him: “You have around your room two or three rough, clever, but coarse Flemish sketches. If I were you, I would not allow my eye to become fa miliarized with any but the highest forms of art. If you cannot afford to buy good oil paintings, buy good en gravings of great pictures, or have nothing at ail upon your walls. “You allow, in intercourse with your fellows, that ‘evil communications cor rupt good manners.’ So is it with pic tures. If you allow your eye to become familiar with what is vulgar in con ception, however free and dashing the handling and however excellent the feeling for color, your taste will insen sibly become depraved. Whereas, if you habituate your eye to look only on what is pure and grand or refined and lovely, your taste will insensibly become elevated.” Some Example* of “Nerve.” In a recent big libel case the foreman of the jury received a letter from a publican, apparently otherwise sane, asking him to insure that the jury should find for the defendant because he had a heavy bet on the result, and this astonishing epistle was read in court. It is interesting to note that the writer lost his bet anyhow. Equally bland was the request once made to Mr. Balfour during his premiership to have dismissed from the commission of the peace a justice who had very properly sentenced the author of the request, a notorious rulfian, to a stiff term of imprisonment for sending beg ging letters.—London Answers. Caution*. A lawyer happened to be acquainted with a juror in a petty civil case, and he met him firing a recess of the court. The lawyer was just “lighting up,” and under ordinary circumstances he would have offered the other a cigar unhesitatingly, but it occurred to him that it might not look right. “I suppose,” he said guardedly, “that a cigar would uot influence your ver dict?” The juror was equally cautious. “A good one wouldn’t,” he replied, “but a poor one might prejudice me.” He got a good cigar.—Brooklyn Eagle. Poor Mamma. The Dear Cliild—Oh, Mrs. Bloom, when did you get back? Mrs. Bloom—Bless you, dear, I was not away anywhere. What made you think so? The Dear Child—I thought you were. I heard my mamma say that you were at loggerheads with your husband for over a week. Absolutely Pnnt Hope. “She is the most inconsistent woman I ever knew.” “Never does what she ought to or what you expect, eh ?” “That is just it. Sometimes she does. She Is inconsistently inconsistent.” Beware of the man who offers you advice at the expense of a mutual friend. None are less eager to learn than they who know nothing.—Suard. Ether Drinking In ItunNiu. The habit of ether drinking is known to he prevalent in some parts of Rus sia, also in east Prussia, and all the ef forts of the authorities to combat the evil have hitherto been almost fruit less. An idea of the extent to which the habit prevails may Ik? gathered from records given in the Russian newspapers of a recent accident which occurred at a place called Trossno. Ether Is drunk by farmers on festive occasions, when it appears to be con sumed in pailfuls. A farmer, celebrat ing his son’s wedding, in the fullness of his hospitality got In two pailfuls of ether. During the process of decant ing the ether into bottles a violent ex plosion took place, by which six chil dren were killed and one adult danger ously and fourteen others more or less severely injured.—British Medical Jour nal.

A groat gonnand who had a passion for shellfish inherited a fine estate and a large sum of money. He had been extravagant, and his friends were greatly rejoiced at his legacy. Mr. H. Barry in “Ivan at Home” tells to what use the money was devoted: 1 went to town one day and soon learned that the prince was In his usu al impecunious condition. "Where has your legacy gone?” I asked. “Why,” he replied, “you know that I am very fond of lobsters, and, having a river on my estate. I thought I would try to acclimatize them there, but un fortunately I have spent all the legacy in the attempt without succeeding. I quite forgot the water is uot salt.” Short Great Men. Oliver Cromwell, Claverhouse and Mehemet Ali must he content to take it out In brains, for they all lacked Inches. Two of these great names nat urally suggest that of another famous soldier and usurper, Napoleon Bona parte. Le petit corporal, as his men lovingly called him. stood about five feet (French) in his stockings, say 5 feet 1% In English. In stature the Iron Duke heat him by about six inches, while the 5 feet 4 of Nelson place him midway or thereabouts between the victor and the victim of Waterloo. MUS. CECELIA STOWE, Orator, Kntre Nous Club. 176 Warren Avenue, Chicago, III., Oct. 22,1902. For nearly four years I suffered from ovarian troubles. The doc tor insisted on an operation as the only way to get well. I, however, strongly objected to an operation. My husband felt disheartened as well as I, for home with a sick woman is a disconsolate place at best. A friendly druggist advised him to get a bottle of Wine of Cardui for me to try, and he did so. I began to improve in a few days and my recovery was very rapid. With in eighteen weeks 1 was another being. .Mrs. Stowe's letter shows every woman how a home is saddened by female weaknes and how completely Wine of Cardui cures that sick ness and brings health and happi ness again.
