Roasted coffee has not varied in price for several

GRAIN.
The local wheat market is possibly little
stronger, owing to light receipts and the de-
mand from millers, but to say the market gem
orally is demoralized, and weak would not be an
exaggeration. The Board Of Trade Price Current
says of wheat: Markets at Chicago and East
have been weak all day. with little lower
range than yesterday, though with no material
change. There are some reports of injury to the
growing crop; but the bears evidently attach
little Importance to them, aud continue to raid
the markets on slight provocation, pointing to
the visible supply, the quantity on passage, and
the dizziness of the -four market. Locally our
market is firm, at bids, for track wheat. Track
wheat seems TO be preferred by our millers, who
dislike the trouble and expense of transferring
from elevator. We suppose large lines could not
be placed at BIDS but, arrivals are limited the
milling demand absorbs the track receipts. IN

The Lumber Supply.

When the amount of standing white
pine timber in the country is considered
in connection with the annual produc-
ton of lumber, it becomes apparent that
without an unforeseen, unexpected and
disastrous business panic amounting to
Q veritable cyclone in its baneful infiu-
ence, unsettling values, there can be but
very little prospect o. any future decline
in the price of white pine lumber. either
in the near FUTURE or thereafter. The
supply of standing timber is gradually
and swiftly being reduced, and the de-
mand is constantly and rapidly on the
increase, while the capacity and number
of the mills keep full pace with the de-
mand. The effect Of this increased de.
mand and constantly decreasing supply
il perceptible in the enhanced value OF
pine stumpage within the past few years.
Standing timber which could have been
purchased in Michigan less than . dec.
ade ago for 81 per thousand, would to-
day command from - to 81; and whom
We consider that very material portion
OF it has changed hands ct the latter

comes apparent that any material reduc-
ton in the price Of lumber must involve
serious loss to the holders thereof, to
which they will not be very liable to
submit, as Withholding the ssms from

further than the taxes on the lands, and
such action must inevitably by tho mex

therefore be arrived ct in . confederation
Of this question, and that 10 the price Of

The printing press came with these

recognize the contrast between such in
situations and the spirit Of that governor

ter of century later, "We have no free
schools nor printing. and I hope shall
not have these hundred years" In Mary
land convicts and idented servants were,
sometimes advertised for sale as teachers
at an early day, and there was no public

Newport had spublic school in 164O,
but it apparently lasted but year or
two, nor was there general system till
the year 1900. These contrasts are men
toned for one sole purpose; to show that
no single community unites all virtues,
and that it was at that period very hard

should be avoided. One cause of their
trouble may be that they take insufficient
outdoor exercise. Perhaps they drink
too much tea or coffee, or eat too much

themselves harmful and prejudicial to

The quality of sleep may be improved
by diminishing the length of time spent
in bed. A hot shower-bath at bedtime
cleanses the skin and predisposes to
sleep. Many a toiling business or
literary man goes to bed tired and worn
out, only to toss from one side to an.
other. His brain is hot and full of
blood, while his feet are cold. He thinks
over again the thoughts that have been
engaging his attention during the day,
or goes over again the business that has
called forth his energies fer twelve or
sixteen hours past. His night is round
of tossing to and fro. Is there any won.

he is first troubled with sleepless nights.
But no; if he lives half a mile or more

Frequently as the Adirondack wilder
