How 'Wan street Mee care of the
hillione of securities which constitute
it$ stoek in trade is a aetail of Man -
tial activity that loudly comes to the
attention of the enema solemner who
may be making an inepeetion tour of
the tiletriet. There le so much more

unless attention is attractea to tloe
spectacle of au eecesional policeman
riding aroma ie a carriage, or to a
youth hurrying up street with a big
leether 'wallet chained to ale waist, the
actual handIing of the "geode" twee
well be entirely overlooked.
The eafe deposit conmenies, with
their esteat vaults defendea V steel
biers Innumerable, to which amiss is
possible enly after an elaborate line
of formalities has been gone threugh,
are, of course, among the show places
of the street. So are sonic of the
vaults which the bank% and insurance
companies maintain, and to the inti-
mate vieltor at a banking imuse which
boasts a buildiug of its •own there will
be shownl probably, a similar plame of
safe keeping, in which the Womble evi-
dences •of wealth greater by many
Ones than the prinee's ransom, are
protected from fire and thief.
Yet if Wall street kept its securities
looked up in its vaults anti strong
boxes all the while it would be no
ongei W all street, but a graveyard.
The business of the street is in the ex-
cbange of these thine on some basis
determined be, relative estimates of
earning cepaeity and, inherent value.
When a security is "closely leld" it
follows necesserily that ite Inarket is
re:striae:1; • when many securities are
"closely held" the entire market be-
comes narrowe' and, brokers complaie
beoause there is little business td do.
The effect upon the stook market
would be the result of an. Inability
safely or expeditiously to transfer the
valuable certificates, or to realize on
them. the share of earnings; to which.
they are entitled at stated periods.
Hence, what may be termed the me-
chanical element in the exchange of
stocks and bonds and in the liquicla-
tion of corporate indebtedness is quite
as important as the sentimental, even
if there is no expressman driving up
to the shipping, roam door at the close
4:xf businass to receive boxee and bales
representing that day's sales.
This explains in large measure wily
the approach of "interest day" is so
widely arranged for throughout the
financial communuity. For on the ist
of July and 1st of Jammu particular-
ly, and to a less- extent on tee 1st
of A.pril end. October, there conies a
demand upon the maohinery of finan-
cial trade that is hardly realized un-
less same of the specific processes in-
volved in its operation are called to
mind. It is a fair estimate that ap-
proximately $50,000,000 is distributecl
as interest on eorporate bond issues
by ,perhaps a. score of financial insti-
tations in Wall street at every July
and January interest period. Indeed,
the number of distributing banks .and
trust companies thue acting as agents
for the corporations. may be even
miller, for some of the latter class
of , institutions make the business of
acting as register of bond issues, and
as transfer agenee for stocks ono of
their principal sources of income, and
their disbursements on "interest day"
reach enormous totals.
But there are two sides oe the mat- •
ter, for every interest coupon that is
paid has to be clipped from the cou-
pon sheet of the bond it belongs to,
and as ebe average coupon is worth
perhaps $22.50—representing a semi-
annual payment on a $1,000 bond beax-
ing 4 1-2 per cent, inetrest, it le neoes-
sary to beadle about 2,222,222 ef these
In order to distribute $50,000,000 which
may be due on any interest day. Or
if ono desires to be a little more exact
and make allowence for the limited
numbee of registered bonds, the inter-
est on which is pal& like a stock divi-
dend by cheque to the laold,er, he
might say that nearly. 2,000,000 of these
little bits of piper, three inches long
and an inch and. a half wide, have to
be clipped off and cashed and cancelled.
To the individual investor, even if his
fortune runs up into seine of the fig-
ures thet big fortunes read, nowadays,
coupon clipping does not mean, ;of
course, any more arduous labor than ho
may be deemed willing to perform in
view of the return. But in some of the -
great investing institutions, like the life
lasurance companies, for example, the
process is a more serious one.
For instance, a force of six employees
is detailed in the office of the Mutual
Life, where coupons worth a matter of
$1,200,000 wilr be cashed on the tirst
day of July. The Mutual bas approxi-
mately $50,000,000, face value, of its
$190,000,000 of bonds, on which the in-
terest falls due on the first of January
and the first of July—which means that
60,000 coupons hone to be clipped off
and counted. and sorted out into the
bundles.
The coupon -dipping work starts in
this company about two .weeks before
every interest period, and the force of
six employees is kept ousy at it twee
hours a day until interest day arrives.
In charge is William X'. Sands, the
veteran cashier of the company, who
has been in its service since 1802, and
has clipped eoupoiss for the company
- ever since it began to invest in bonde
of any kind. Mr. Sands figures that
ho can tear off the toupons from about
500 bonds an hour, veld& would nican
that $1,000,000 of bonds a day go
through his hands when the clipping sea-
son is on. He has, perhapn handled $10e
000,000 of coupons for the Mutual M the
last ten years.
A vast amenint of red tape ill Wolin
ed in the coupon cutting from the time
that the great vault where the core -
patty's securities are kept is opened until
tbe bundles of coupons are sent out to
be cashed and the trays which, contain
the betide themselves are put beck on
their proper shelvee. The opening of
the vault itself, in. the firet, place, is no

one to open both the outer and the in-
ner aoor of the vault, ne matter who he
may be.
Once the vault is open the bonds. are
telten by boxes, checked and counted,
and then dietributed to the coupon cut-
ters at the table. The actual work of
clipping is done not with a pair of scis-
sors, but with a little metal square ee
constructed thole it will fit tlown over
a given coupon and allow it to be torn
off without disturbing its next neighbor,
which beeoines itself thing of value at
the end. of six months, When one has
beeome expert at the job he tun tear off
the coupon by a, single motion of Mc
hand. The coupons, separated, are
counted end then go into bundles for
collection, Meantime the bonds them-
selves are counted again, packed eway
the great vault, to be taken out for the
next Sine; perhaps, when an annual ex-
anduation of the company is in pro-
gress.
Whether there is as much red tape
about this as about the coupon clipping
process depends upon who is making the
examination. Expert aecountants ;hake
a point of counting every bond and then
of sealing up the boxes, in which they
are kept until the examination Is over.
Witnesses told the grand, jury which has
been investigating insurance matters
lately that when, a western insuranee
commissioner came here to make an ex-
eminetion on a certain occasion, he ask-
ed an officer of the eompany how many
bonds the Mutual had, counted the num-
ber ene of the boxes, computed the
number of boxes to a square yard of
spare in the vault, measured the vault
with a foot rule, and finally, after a
ciphering, announced that he guessed
the company had the bonds all right.

Tlits tonic shall be given to you In the form
of exercisee—protty, sineple ones to praetthe
daily and give ton to the system and Me
10 the entire body:
Stand with feet together, body well poised,
hands on the hips, with thumbs trout. Now
sway the trunk banward and forward, bend-
lng well trom the hips, Slowly count eight
to thls exercise, four to sway back and four
to gain position, Then count four for the
backward bend and four to get erect. Repeat
exercise. These movementa are excellent for
a weak back and a weak stomach. There is
likewise no better exercise to decrease the
size of the stomach.
Before I go a stop further I must jot down
a very important advice. When doing this ex-
ercise wear a very loose corset or corset
vtaist. It is Injurious to use the muscles
about the hips when they aro confined in
tight corsets, tight waist -bolts or even Perris
waists, such as children usually wear.
Needless to add, tight lacing is never per-
missible, and, further, if a pretty, shapely
figure is de -sired, lacing will never bring
it, for it has rather a tendency to ma.ko the
stomach large, the hips out of proportion
with the shoulders and to generally endanger
the health.
I have known children 12 yoars of ago to
wear eorsete, and be permitted to select the
size they wanted.
Continue the counting of eight and bend
the trunk first to the right, then to the lett
side, using four counts to stway over the
trunk and four counts to get the erect posi-
tion. Be sure to keep the legs perfectly
straight and fine in these exercises, and per-
form the movements without jerk or strain.
Keeping the body straight and the chin in
raise the knees alternately as high as poi -
Bible, sending the toes well down as you
raise the legs, and the heels .well down as
you lower the legs. This is an excellent help
to digestion end will give the little ones good
healthy appetites. In all of these exercises
count eight slowly.
With the knees as firm as before, endeavor
to touch the floor in front of you with the
tips of the fingers, at the same time having
an unbent knee. A.1 first this may be very
trying and a little distreesing, and you may

with haughty but unmistakable nervous air.
• '"rhat's her," he said to himself, and brac-
ing himself up, he walked over and inquired
politely if she was Miss Broadcast°.
With a cold stare the young lady said
haughtily, "No, sir!"
If a star had just then alighted at his very

one gently touched his arm, and looking
around Victor looked into one of the prettiest
faces he had ever seen.
' It was a young girl of 10, very simply but

wreathed in a smile, and a miselievious ex-
pression lurked in her dark oyes, for she had

Daisy and not Victor was with Mrs. Law-

Mrs. Lawrence was having a reception to-
night in honor of her cousin. To say that she

Daisy would be putting it weakly. Mean-
while Victor and Dasy had become great
friends, and all their friends were expecting
to hear wedding bells soon. Daisy was look -
beautiful in a dress ef pure white, with a
single white rose in her curly hair.
She was fastening on her last glove when
Mrs. Lawrence said; "You ahould heard the

heartily as she recalled the Mature.
Ju"st at that moment and in time to catch

and turned pale when he heard Daisy reply

Mrs. Lawrence saw that she had made a

all physicians being utterly at sea as
to the real nature of the malady, were
equally 80 OS tOk what ought to be done
for the patient's relief. Now that the
true nature of tbe disease i$ known, the
method of treatment becomes more ob-
vious, and we learn not merely what to
do, but also what not to do. As heat is
the cense of the symptoms, common
sense points to the abstraction of the
heat in some way as the mode of eure.
Whatever is to be done in this disease
must be done quickly. Clinical, as welt
as experimental observations, enforce
this doctrine. Tbere should in. some
cases be no waiting for the doctor. The
remedy is so simple, the death so immin-
ent, that the good Samaritan passieg by
should save his brother. The good Sam-
aritan must, however, have a cool head
to be useful. Not every man who falls

There is fortunately one criterion so
easy of application that any one can use

• rest assured that whatever is the trouble,
it is not sunstroke. If, on the contrary,
the skin be burning hot, the ease is cer-
tainly sunstroke, and no time should be
lost. The patient should be carried to
the nearest pump or hydrant, stripped
to his waist, and bucketful after bucket-

T,here is al. old and homely saying
that an ounge of prevention is worth a
pound of cure—a saying that although
threadbare with its centuries of daily
use, still holds together as firmly as
when it was first knit. If the abstrac-
tion of heat is the sure cure of sun-
stroke, it is also the true preventative.
Do not let the beat accumulate in the
body. When duty forees one into ex-
poeure to heat, there are various meas-
ures that ought to be adopted. The cloth-
ing should be light, whitish In coloring,
and fit loosely. Flannel is preferably,
on the whole, the best material. A roomy,
1, wide -brimmed porous kat should be used,
and in the crown of it may be placed a
small wet towel or large handkerchief.
Water should be freely used externally
and internally, Very close to the eur-
