1t is fearful thing when self has
grown so strong, that in its pride it
ceases to welcome the truth. What
if God also should be unwilling to
force it upon those who so little de-
sire it! What if his only way to
bring US to the knowledge of all that
is in our heart, should be to leave
us, that the sin which lies hidden in
the depth of the heart might work
itself out in some bitter humiliation.
1t is perfectly certain that while self
thus remains alive, there are many
of the very richest blessings, which
God cannot possibly impart, save at
the risk of most imminent peril to
the receiver. They would be per-
verted at once to minister to the life
of self. This is the most common
cause of those delays which so many
experience in receiving that which
they have asked-Self is not slain.-

Water or Wine ?


1t is related of the late Emory
Storrs that when sitting around
wine table with a number of legal
friends he insisted on drinking ice
water. They taunted him for his
abStemiOusness, saying! "What is
there in water? You can say moths
ing for it," Picking up his glass, he
exclaimed:
"HoW do you expect to improve

No one replied,

"WelI, suppose they do" will you
meet them half way: ."
There was another long silence,
broken at last by the old man, who
said:
Seems like there's sense in what
you say. do really believe thar's
bin too much fussing, and that it

"Well, now, you think it out to-
night. and, in the morning, if YOU are
all agreed, III go over to Jordon's
and have a talk. | believe you have
only to come together and have a
talk to see the folly of keeping up

Being tired, went to bed about
10 O'Clock, but the family sat up and
talked until midnight. Next morn
ing at breakfas Bowman said to me:
"Wa'ai, we hev concluded to stop
fussing if the Jordon's will, but it's
no ck-dOWn for us. No Bowman
ever backs down.
"It's no back down for nobody" I
replied. "You are only going to ex-

1t was agreed that the whole fam
lily should come over to BoWman's

pleasant words and outstretcned

Tone of wheat Speculation.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1O.-The wheat market
ranged dull, with an undertone Of weakness to-
day. Telegraphic communication with the East
was badly interfered with on account or the
storm Of yesterday and last night, and very few
dispatches from New York and other seaboard
points were received before noon. The local
trading crowd had strong leaning to the bear
end of the deal this morning, and scalpers car
ried the market down from $1O45s01 .O44 for
May, at the opening, to $1.04ss01O4le. At
$1.04l2 Hutchinson turned up as big buyer,
and an advance to $1.O5 followed. Plenty OF
wheat was offered for sale at $1.O5, though but
little was sold, and up to 1890 o'clock the price
swung backward and forward Mitnin &c range l;
S1O4as being the popular stopping place. The last
three-quarters of an hour witnessed sharp break.
The market slowly gave way to 81 ,o4i9, where
''peg" was supposed to be stuck, but a little
pressure disclosed the fact that the support had
been withdrawn and there was a rush to sell.
1t took only few minutes to knock the price on
TO $1.04, and the descent from $1.O4 to 81 O5
was rapid. The market was ''loosened up" to
surprising extent, and more trade was COM
pressed into the Last thirty minutes than had
been done in the preceding three hours Jones
and Kenneth started the break, and the "bear"
raiders and ''longs" ran race for the remainder
Of the session to see which could sell the most
During the final five or ten minutes firmer
feeling was noticeable, and there was frac-
tional recovery, the close being lac from the
bottom On the break Hutchinson bought large
quantities of wheat. The decline occurred so
suddenly that the crowd had no time to ask for
explanations until it was all over There was
evidence going 20 SHOW that it was the result of
a determined raid, and it seemed to have been
helped by the circulation OF some sort of a "tip"
on the forthcoming final government estimate.
Aside from vague rumOr that the government
estimate would show up favOrably TO the bears, =
the news afioat was bullish as rule. st. Louis
reported better feeling there on buying by mill

The brood sows usually preferred are
those that are young. This is mistake.
The old sows give more milk and are better
mothers. A safe rule to follow is to retain
filters. A SOW that has been tried and
known to be good mother should be re-
tanned as long as serviceable. 1t is unwise
to depend on untried young sows.
Sheep naturally huddle together, and this
is especially hard ON those poor in flesh

only remedy is keep weak and strong in

Range I'm Prices of Leading Articles

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-There was dearth of
outside news to-day, and quiet and duh feeling
pervaded the wheat market. Prices fuctuated
within q small range, covering lac, until shortly
before the close, when weak feeling set in. and
and prices declined 1lac very quickly, and the
market closed 1iac lower than yesterday At
times the market showed temporary strength.
but the advance was taken advantage of to sell
on, and the feeling was rather tame most of the
session The situation in corn was only repeti-
ton Of yesterday, quiet being the prevailing
feature. The marketwa quotably easier, fiuctu-
atlons showing but little change, and at the close
twas about l4c lower than yesterday Oats were
