General Trade.

The feeling in corn, oats and bran
is 6rmer with higher prices asked,
though seldom received, as buyers
purchase only to satisfy immediate
requirements when an advance is
demanded. Among round lot sales
reported is a carload or woof cOrnin
bulk at 48c per Blu; one or two in SKIS
at 5l4a52c; a carload Of bran at SIS
and car Of choice oats at 800. These
figures are higher for corn and oats,
while bran Is stiff but not above pres
yious sales Of the past ten days. Hay
continues wholly inactive. Flour is
in somewhat improved demand at
previous prices and cornmeal is also
10 little better inquiry at an unset
tied valuation. Potatoes are plenti-
full and in better feeling; onions are
very dull; cabbage continues steady,
kraut likewise, while poultry and
game arc in over supply and slow to
sell at any price. Eggs are unsettled
with an essier tone.

WAsnrNGToS, No v.3a-Tlie hundreds
of captured Confederate battle flags
which were exhibited fora long time in
the Ordnance Department Museum have
been transferred for safesaeeping to the
Adiutant Generals Department While
ON exhibition this collection formed one
OF the most interesting exhibits at the
national capital.
They are now packed away, which fact
prompted War department official to
remark last evening that these flags were
destined to become the prey of the de-
structive moth or mildew unless they
were again exposed to light and air.
While in the museum the tattered and
scorched relics of war were hung about
the capaeious room. It is probable that
Secretary Lincoln will be requested to
again hang these banners on the inner
walls of some public museum Among
the number are flags with tragic his
tories. The Palmetto battle flag of a
South Carolina regiment IS said TO have
been captured from remnant of the
regiment who had piled up their own
dead as earthworks and were delivering
their fire from behind that CHASTITY pro-
lection. A mound of dead bodies was
piled about the staff to keep it upright.
The flag of Virginia regiment was
finally captured after seven men had
been killed about it. The famous black
flag, which was alleged 10 have been
hoisted over Fort Pillow, IS also there.

silver-Plated Skull.

For the past few days Chicago
gentlemen named w. B. Metoalfe has
been stopping at the Clifton House.
He is living curiosity, although
few persons at first sight would not
notice anything peculiar about him.
During one of the terrific battles OF
the late war, Mr.. Metcalfe was un-
fortunate enough to be struck in the
head with a piece of shell, which
tore away almost the entire top of
his skull, leaving the brains most
horribly exposed. Strange to say, Mr..
Metcalfe survived the terrible wound.
and DR.. Agnew, the same surgeon
who operated upon President Gar
field, succeeded in fitting silver
plate over the terrible opening, which
shielded the brain equally as well as
the skull which had been shot away.
This plate is about the size ola mans
hand and it works on a hinge, admit
ting of it being raised up. The plate
is covered with a wig, thus conceal
ing all evidence of shattered skull
Mr.. Metcalfe does not experience
the least pain, and it affords him
pleasure to raise the plate and exhib.
it to his friends the workings of his
brain. Louisville Commercial.

Ants AT PLAY-The old story Of
ants indulgingin games and play was
for long time thought to be a fable,
but grave scientific gentlemep of our
day haze seen it, and we shall have to
believe it now, queer as it seems.
The old story was told by Huber,
who saw the ants on fine day as
sembled on the surface of their nest
and behaving in way that be could
only explain as Stimulating festival
sports or other games. They raised
themselves on their hind legs, en-
braced each other with their fore legs,
seized each other by the antennae,
feet, or mandibles, and wrestled, but
all in friendliest fashion. They then
let go, ran after each other, and play
ed hide-and-seek. When one was
victorious it seized all the others in
the ring and tumbled them over like
ninepins.
So much for the old writer; nov
says the new; The players caught
each other by the feet or jaws, rolled
over each other on the ground like
boys playing, pulled each other in
side the entrance Of their nests, only
10 come out again, and SO on. All
his was done without bad temper. or
any squirting of poison, and it was
lear that all the rivalry was friend
y.

Winter onartsrs for Swine.


Those who keep 4 stock 81 hogs
through the winter should not ~ %
do so ID quarters that are not per-
fectlY comfortable, for trio reasons.
First, because the health Of the hog e
endangered, and second. because t
costs more 20 produces 8 pound Of pork
when the hog Is not kept II comfort
able condition IN cold weather.
When We look back to our boyhood
days, and call to mind some Of our
visits to farmers who kept their hogs
where the wind swept through at a
speed oftWelve miles an hour, We can
hardly suppress 9 shudder. But for.
tunately . great progress has been
made IN not only providing our ami
mails with more comfortable quarters,
but also ourselves. Still, the ques-
ton of what is to done for the win
ter protection of the animals presents
itself to US every year, and We should
make it our business to, from year 20
year, make such repairs and improve
ments as our judgment shall suggest
Whenever We find that there is
chance for q current Of air 70 pass
through upon the hogs, or other ami
mails, it should be stopped, and there
should also be provision made for
keeping out the snow and rain.
One of the mistakes which 10 too
often made in providing winter quar-
fers for hogs is in permitting too much
water to accumulate where the hogs
stay most of the time. While hogs
may not be injured in warm weather
by wallowing in the water, there is
danger in cold weather, even though
in quarters where the water does not
freeze. Hogs should liavea good dry
bed to resort to, eyenin warm wealth
er, but in the winter it is more i'm
portant. because of the danger ofthe
hogs taking cold.
Another mistake is very often made
by keeping hogs in a dark cellar,
where the ammonia that comes from
the manure often seriously interferes
with the health of the hogs. Light
and pure air are very important for
the health ofnot only the human race,
but also for all of the domestic ami
mails.
When we.are able to get the most
profit from our domestic animals, we
shall have learned keepthem in quar-
tiers where they can be both comfort
able and healthy. It is only the rich
man that can afford to keep cattle in
quarters where they are uncomfort-I

How to Select Flour.

In selecting -four first look to the
color. lift is white with yellowish
straw color tint, buyit. Ifitis white
with blueish cast or with black
specks in it, refuse it. Next exam
inc its adhesiveness- wet and knead
a little of it between your fingers; if
it works soft and sticky it is poor.
Then throw a little heap ofdried -four
against a smooth surface; if it falls
like powder it is bad. Lastly, squeeze
some of the -four tightly in your hand;
if it retains the shape given by The
pressure, that, too, is a bad sign. Ii
is safe to buy -four that will stand all
these tests. These modes are given
by all old -four dealers, and they per-
tain to a matter that concerns every
body.
