Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO. Ill, March 6.-The markets
were less active, except IN corn, and even
that grain lost part Of the buoyancy dis
played yesterday. The. opening witnessed
q steady feeling In wheat, but weaker and
lower market for corn aud an apathetic
provision trade. Fluctuations were con-
fined to narrow range. Wheat was de-
cidedly scalpers' market. Al times trading
was quite brisk, but during most OF the day
the pit was not half full OF operators, News
from outside was scarce, and the little that
they managed TO get did not stimulate trad
ing on either side. Several scalpcrs made q
plunge at the market and sold 10000 to
100000 bushels, but did not materially Affect
values. May opened at s07tc, sold at Sic,
down TO s0ls@SOesc, and, after remaining
between SOssds0Jsc for over an hour, iinaiiy
closed at s0l5@s09sc.
Corn WIS again leading speculative arti-
Gle, and the volume OF trading reached good
aggregate. No new developments calculated

1t is an experience familiar enough to
many persons that they find themselves
at times in places where their surround
ings seem to have been known to them
before; and yet they know that this is
the first time they have ever been upon
the spot.
In some instances the recognition may
be due to a picture of the place, seen
somewhere at some time, of which all
recollection was lost except the impress
sion it made. Or it may be that the
place has been described under circum-
stances which are wholly forgotten, or
an account of it has been read, so minute
and so interesting a to have made the
impression received more lasting than
any circumstance attending it.
We are able, in some instances, to
trace tho impression, by suggestion and
association, back to some such origin.
This leads us to infer that in cases where
we are unable to do this, it is because
suggestion or association fails us. If we
deny that memory has anything to do
with these impressions, then they become
mysteries, and such mysteries as haunt
and perplex a sensitive mind. 1t is more
reasonable to admit the possible weak
ness and untrustworthiness Of our facul-
ties than to suppose that anything has
happened contrary to the course of ma
turc.-NUuth's Companion.

Tho Little Diamond Scales.

Diamond scales arc now being
brought to such q state of perfection that
we will soon be ablo to detect flaws in
like stones by the minute variation in
weight" said n diamond importer.
THAT handsome piece of mechanism in
the cherry case over there is one of the
very latest improved balances. 1 do not
find the least difficulty in accurately
weighing n Cloth part of a carat with it,
and believe that could easily go beyond
that if l wished.
"When l think of some of the crude
balances formerly used, and which were
then thought all but perfection, it makes
me wonder what our sons will be using
instead of the handsome scales now in
the market.
"For our purpose, however, q scale
which accurately weighs n sixty-fourth
Of q carat is preferable to the more delicate
ones, for, as you know, we rarely weigh
less than that, and the latter are so sensi-
tive that they often give us trouble in
obtaining q balance. "-Jewelers' Weekly.

Pearls are produced in some of the
unios fresh water mussels), of which
there are many hundred species, especi-
ally those found in the fresh water
brooks travering q limestone country.
The first pearl of any note was the
famous "Crown Pearl" found by a shoe
maker, Daniel Howell, while collecting
some of these mussels in Notch Brook,
near Paterson, N. j.. This was purchased
by Messrs. Tiffany & Co.. for 81, 500 in
1856, and led to the great pearl excite
ment. Millions of unios were collected,
and many thousands of pearls were
found, and some of them very fine ones.
One, however, which weighed nearly 400
grains, and would perhaps nave been the
finest pearl of modern times, was de-
stroyed by cooking the mussel. They
have since then been fished out as far
west as Ohio.
At Waynesville and other places on
h Little Miami river many fine pearls
have been found, and more recently fine
mes have been found in Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Texas. One single firm has
purchased over 800, 900 worth of pearls
found east of Texas. The pearls are
rarely entirely round, usually a little OBJ
long, button shaped, fiat on the back
ana initiating every conceivable FORM,
such as beetles, fish, bird wings, and
often have had this feature assisted in
the mounting of enamel and gold, after
the manner of Dinglinger pearls at the
famous Dresden Green vaults. The
color is rarely q true white, usually pink
or blush, often iridescent. The nacre is
smoother, if anything, than in the ORR
entail pearls, and they are often more
beautiful. Single pearls have been sold
for over 50, 900. Only one pearl of any
kind is found in 100 shells, and usually
ono in 1000 of any value, 80 that it Is
not a very profitable pursuit. The indis-
criminate killing off of the musels in
fishing and by poisonous sewage will
eventually lead to their determination.
The greatest d~estroyers, however, are the
hogs, which kill off whole banks at q
single low de.-George F. Kunz in

A PEOPLE.

Tho Inhabitants of S~nlonlka-Jews Mt
Heart, but Turks to the World.
In these days it is somewhat difficult
to find anywhere peculiar people who arc
not public property; about the Mormons
of America and the savages of Central
Africa we know rs much, If not more,
han we know about ourselves; so that it
was with considerable satisfaction that l
came across n peculiar people who in
many respects out-Mormon Mormons
and have customs as quaint as any to be
found in Central Africa. Moreover, they
live in Europe, in the ancient city of Sa-
lonika, and come of the most ancient
stock in the world-namely, the Hebrew;
they are bound together by ties that none
dare break, they are n double faced race,
n race with two distinct religions, q race
which leads two Distinct lives, profess
ing openly to be followers Of Mohammed,
while in private they profess q religion of
their own, accepting the old Hebrew ira
ditions, yet believing in the first advent
of their own Messiah and living in daily
expectation of his second coming.
The Turks call them 'Dunmehs," or
''renegades." their Jewish brethren call
them 'hypocrites, " while they call them
selves Maimeenim, or true believers"
For the sake of simplicity we will call
them Dunmehs, and we may take it for
granted that they are disliked by both
their would be co-religionists, and in
consequence they nave been compelled to
exercise secrecy in their acts and deeds, n
fact which has rendered them q mysteri-
GUS people in the midst of q busy mer-
camille world. During q recent stay at
Salonika / set myself the task of investi-
eating this people.
Salonika may be termed n New Jeru-
salem, rs there are no less than 20, 900 of
the seed Of Abraham within its walls;
almost all the business of the place is
carried on by them; the quays are gay
with them in their quaint costumes, the
men with their long robes lined with fur
over a tunic Of stripped cotton or silk,
while the women are decked in the
gayest color possible, and adorn their
heads with caps Of green or red, closely
bound owe their foreheads, and hang
ing down behind in a thick trail EN-.
broidered with gold thread and ter
minating in a fringe Of gold, while
around their necks hang strings of pearls
and other jewels. These Jews of Salonika
are perhaps the most feryid adherents OF
the quaint rabbinical doctrines to be
found anywhere nowadays. During the
days before the Passover you may see
Jewish women at the tombs outside the
walls, in their long red cloaks and white
mantlcs round their shoulders, wailing
over their dead; turbaned rabbis stand
at the cato of Karamilia TO conduct
families, for a consideration, to the
graves of their relatives, there to excite
them to frenzy by reading portions of
Scripture, and finally to drive them
home again like sheep when the cere-
mony is over, with lacerated arms and
faces, uttering bitter walls. -Longman's
Magazine.

In Paris there are five Glasses Of
funerals. A first class funeral is n very
elaborate and expensive affair. The
church in which the service is held is
profusely draped with black and silver.
The catafalque is quite monumental and
is all ablaze with candles, and green
flames rise from tall lampadaires placed
at the four corners of the catafalquc.
All the chanting power of the church is
brought to bear upon the service, and
professional singers are also engaged for
the occasion.
The second and third class funerals are
also very ornate, but in the rex descent
the difference is strongly marked. Finally
we come down to the coffin made of pine
and the severely plain canonical service
for the dead. At the close of the service
the chief mourners stand near the door
of the church TO receive the conventional
shake of the hand from those who have
been invited to the 'funeral.-Boston
