A Temper and a Fortune.

A few years ago young man named
John Peck secured a situation as con-
ductor on the Metropolitan Railway,
Boston, and it CHANGED that during the
first DAYS of his service his car was sew
eral times thrown from the track by
rails becoming misplaced. One day the
end of the rail flew up and became fast
in the car truck He lifted and pushed
and lost his temper in the effort TO get
the car on the track and the rail in place
again, and at night was SO Disguised
with his work that he threw up his sit
uation. But his experience set him to
thinking, and in few days he called
on an officer of the road and said that
he could make ''chair" that would
hold the rails firmly together at the
Joints. The officer laughed at his conf
dent assertions, and told him that he
heard similar stories dozens of times
But the conductor exhibited his model
drawings, which appeared SO promising
that he was told to go ahead and make
a trial. The result was a complete sue.
cess. To-day John Peck's patent rail-
way chair, for which he secured the first
patent In 1872, his second in 1876 and
his third and last in 1881, is used by all
the street railways in Boston and by
many of the great steam railways of tbs
United States.-BostoR Post.

Restoring Faded Ink.

A valuable discovery has been recent
~ made, whereby the faded ink on old
parchments may be SO restored AS to
render the writing perfectly legible. The
process consists IN moistening the paper
with water, and then passing over the
lines in writing brush which has been
dipped in a solution of sulphide of am
monia The writing viii immediately
appear quite dark in color, and this
color, In the case of parchment, it VIII
preserve. Records which were treated
in this way in the Germanic Museum In
Nuremburg ten years ago are still IN the
same condition as Immediately after the
application of the process. On paper,
however, the color gradually fades again;
but it may be restored at pleasure by the
application of the sulphide. The ex-
PLANTATION of the action of this substance
is very simple: the iron which enters into
the composition of the ink is trans
formed by the reaction into the black
sulphide.

Waiting in ENGLAND.

Since the Eaaee of 1915, from which
period-or, kSrssd, from few years
earlier-NIiss Mitford's correspondence
dates, remarkable changes have, indeed,
taken place in English society. One of
her most intimate friends, sir w. Ell
ford, had undertaken crusade against
Waiting. which he was : IRE ''would
never be tolerated in this country unless
the moral feeling of the country had I'M
dergone a change" While Byron at
tackled it in famous poem, Sir w. Ell
ford wrote in prose a satirical history of
its origin. Everybody condemned it,
and Miss Milford, of course. among the
rest. 1t danced itself into fashion all the
same, and that very rapidly. 1t was the
first innovation introduced into England
from the Continent after the great peace;
and there was significance, no doubt, in
the welcome it met with, as foreshadow-
ING the acceptance of others from the
same quarter.
1t seemed as improbable in those days
that the waltz would ever become a
favorite and even popular dance in En-
gland as that the system of ranking let
tiers would go out, or that America would
come to be looked upon as country
which well-bred English people could
visit without fear of being shocked.-lSt
James Gazette.

in farming districts of Denmark,
where smoking is almost universal, end
pipes with huge china bowls are as com.
mon as milestones are scarce on country

zhe Pedestrian Contest.

Much enthusiasm is manifested over the
pedestrian contest which will be inaugurated
at Market hall at just o'clock this evening.
There will be four starters, but little attention
is given to but two of the members. Daniel
O'Leary having won SO many holly contested
races in Europe and the United States, is
known throughout the whole world,
and he is always a favorite wher.
ever known. His many elegant medals
which he has won at various times have been
for week on exhibition at Klage's jewelry
store and have commanded the admiration of
the thousands who have looked at them. The
most conspicuous among them is the Ashley
medal by winning which he was proclaimed
the champion long distance pedestrian of the
world. 1t is beauty in workmanship and
design. At the upper portion of it is an elab.
crate belt, set in pure diamonds, while
handsome design OF the pedestrian
track, with walking figure in sold gold, is
garter also set in sparkling diamonds. It is
treasure. With all this, Mr.. O'Leary is not
going to have walk away. Not by any
means. Mr.. Hunt, while he has won no
medals nor belts, is a fast walker. He is con-
sidered much more speedy than his opponent
The only question is his endurance or ability
to stay on the track. He is great favorite
in Minneapolis, and has deal OF pride in his
powers. He will do his utmost. Besides the
prizes to be won, there are many heavy bets ON
the result and Hunt will never give his friends
away. Many of the sporting men of st. Paul
are expected to come up and witness the race
and perchance risk few dollars on the result
band OF music will be in attendance.

CAIcAGo, Aug. 3.-Receipts of wheat 10. day
showed marked falling off and prices were
consequently stronger being also kept up by
quite heavy outside orders and very firm cables;
$50 cars of winter wheat were received. The
market was unsettled and somewhat irregular.
Regular declined considerably below yesterday
afternoon. 1t opened 1A@l1 below yester-
days closing prices. On Change the demand
that sprung up at once put rates up 1%c.
This improvement was subsequently lost and
prices were 115@Hc below yesterdays
change, though little above the call. Sales:
99H c@S1.O for August, 9s14c@Sl OOX for
September, 9S5sc@slO0X Cor October, 97x@
99c for year. Winter sold from S10S up to
$1.0iH then dropped to S1.O3, at which there
was much offered. At the close August had
$l.0S@1.0 4 and closed with settlers at S1.02x.
Spring was about nominal for cash. Shorts
on the July deal have taken no legal steps as
they threatened to do and rest their hopes on
the commission fixing higher price before
seeking legal aid. Sales, $1.01X @l.02 for
August. On call sales were 7S5, 600 bushels,
regular and prices H95sc higher; winter, So
GOO bushels, prices irregular but closed with
out any real change; spring, Is, 900 bushels,
&@Ac higher.
SOiu IcCOfcIcu yesterdays decline Tempo
rarlly, but agsin weakened toward noon, de-
spite smaller receipts and favorable cables.
Trading was spasmodic, but there was fair
aggregate business done. At the close the de-
cline was %@1Hc. Sales 76A@77kc for
August, 75@764 for September, 74X174xc
for October, 66@67Kc for year. On call sales
were 565, 900 bushels. Prices X@H lower.
Oats were unsettled and irregular. Prices
ruled easy and 159szc lower early in the day,
but good demand sent prices up 4@1Lc.
During the latter part of the session rates
eased little. Sales: old for cash at 54a55c;
new at 4S1s@501Sc, closing at inside figures;
S91a@41c for August; 35M@365Sc for septem-
Der: 355s@36c for No. Q October; 34T9351Sc
for year. On call sales were 255, COO bushels
and prices 1s@1sc higher.
Pork was moderately active but very unset
tied and irregular. Prices declined early
S0@40c, but soon rallied S5Q40c. At closing
there was, however, another drop of 15a20c
and the market was tame. Sales $40. 4sa20 so
for September, $40 5000 OK for October,
and $40 1O919,l2M for year. On call sales
were 1000 barrels and prices steady TO TIC
higher.
Lsrd was in fair demand with liberal
amounts Offered and prices ruled easy, declin-
ing SOLO,, closing steady. Sales: S1222x a
1885 for September; Sl2.35@12.42x OCTOBER
On call sales were $50 tierces and prices easier
for some, firmer for others, but not quotab|y
unchanged. The charge is made that certain
packers have conspired to bear prices by
shutting down their houses under the pretext
that the price ofhogs is too high for handling.

Careless Merchants.

AS has been mentioned in these columns
before, many of the business men are extreme
ly careless about locking up their stores upon
leaving them at night. During the past
week over q half-doZen such have been found
by patrolmen while on duty. In such cases
the patrolmen are obliged to remain on duty
watching the unlocked store the remainder of
the night 10 the entire neg
lect of the remainder of the
beat. Consequently the carlessness of
one man jeopardizes the property of many
more careful merchants. Last week Officer
Caswell found the street door of Cbamberlain's
jewelry store unlocked. He spent the balance
of his watch that night in protecting the
several thousand dollars worth of silverware
which had not been secured in the safe. When
Mr.. Chamberlain wac apprised of the fact next
M0rning he uncnncernedly remarked: "That's
ali right; that's inst what policemen are
paid for" But if every merchant IN the block
had left his store open the re- ult wonld have
been that only one would have been watched,
and that one might not have been the store
owned by Mr.. G. Mr.. G. in that event would
undoubtedly have expressed more interest in
securely locking stores at night.
In view of the above it is not unlikely that
the mayor will at the next meeting of the city
council suggest some means!which will have
the effect to make sucn occurrences less fire.
quent. de VIII probably recommend the passage
of an ordinance similar to those in operation IN
Eastern cities. The police force working such
an ordinance will be supplied with number
of staple and paddock fastenings. When a
store is found unlocked they will be put on.
In the morning the proprietor of the store
will be arraigned before the Judge of the
municipal court and fine of $40 and costs
imposed. Upon the payment of this
fine one half of it will go 10 the
policeman who discovered the unlocked door
and the other half to the city treasury. This
will naturally serve double purpose. 1t
will result in making the merchants more
careful and will induce the policemen to
Locked:
