The Ups and Downs OF the Market, with the
Range In Prices Of Leading Articles.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1s.-In wheat. trading was
rather light and no interesting features
were presented. Most of the business was
on behalf of local traders. A trader promi-
nently identified with this market was
good buyer for both December and May at
the opening and afterwards sold freely oD
the advance. Several traders endeavored
to realize Oh the top. Some selling on for
eign account was reported. The opening
was rather steady, slightly below yester-
days closing and soon thereafter prices
rallied about asc, with some effort to sus-
tain prices. but free offerings created weak
ness, and traders were not slow to get out
from under and prices declined 1c, ruled
steady and closed about 0s'd sic lower than
ing news. very dull day was witnessed
In corn, trading being light and limited
to t'ie usual room operators. with fiuctu-
ations confined within a 44c range.
The feeling was easier and slightly
lower prices were established. The market
opened at about the closing prices of yes
terday, was very dull for some time be-
came trlfle more active, again ruled quiet,
but just before the close broke. declining
in all 1fo, and final quotations were l4c be-
low yesterday. Oats were weak er, and
prices receded lsla lic. Trading was fair,
but not of character to inspire buyers,
aud few appeared. except those having
shorts to fill. Aside from the operation of
one or two traders who bought on the de-
cline, there were no new features. Rather
more was doing in pork. and the feeling
was stronger and prices averaged slightly
higher. There was only fair trade in
lard Feeling was somewhat steadier, and
prices ruled about .O2i2c higher. In short
ribs there was more life 10 the market. and
the feeling was stronger. ''Shorts" wanted
October and there was some investment
demand. October advanced .10d .121oc, and
the other deliveries were .02ls6 .05c higher,
but extreme figures were not fully sup
ported. The leading futures ranged as fol-
lows:

Trade Moderate in Volume, with a Steadier
Tone in Values.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 1s.
Trade thus far this month has not been
up to the volume expected, and there seems
to be no reason for the dullness except the
mildness of the weather. The West ia easy
in a moneyed way, crops are selling quite
freely, and the outlook for business gen.
orally favorable. Dry goods men have had
only fair trade for some days past, when
it should have been brisk. GrOcers report
trade little slow. This may be on account
of the weakness in tone in prices of some
staple articles. Sugars, coffees and teas,
however, the last three days, have been
steady and coffees decidedly firmer. Millers
report the flour market i'm better shape than
thirty days ago. but still further improve
ment would greatly please them. In the
produce market weak prices on nearly all
articles are, noticeable. poultry feeling it
the most. Eggs. aswell, are in larger supply
than at any time for months, and prices
have downward tendency. Butter, if
choice article. still meets with fair sale.
But few oranges are yet on the market,
and those are sour and half ripe. Lemons
are plenty and in light request. The seed
market Is active at unchanged prices.

Various Hints Conccrnihg pIot.

Children, especially young girls, are
rarely properly dieted. There is almost
universally repugnance to meat and n
hysterical liking for sweets or acids, that
is unhealthy. When nerves cry for food,
they are given a stone, and rebel in con-
sequence. II plentiful supply Of meat
should be eaten at least once daily, and
this at breakfast, when the body needs
bolstering for the days work, and when
the digestive tract is empty. Taken then,
with moderate exercise, such food Is
promptly assimilated and goes where it
does most good, directly into the blood
heartily approve Of late suppers, and
am convinced that the human animal,
like others, sleeps best upon "a stomach
filled with light, digesible food. OF
course there are idiosyncrasies; thero are
many kinds of people, and the kind of
food proper for one would not suit
another; yet there need be no departure
FROM the rule. An elderly lady came to
me not long ago and said that it was no
manner of use; she could not sleep if she
ate anything before she went to bed.
"What had you for supper last night,
MADAME" asked
Oatmeal porridge, DOCTOR"
"Well, you could not have had any
thing better calculated to keep you
awake. In the first place, oatmeal, no
matter how prepared, is devoid Of nutri-
ton to any one save the very strongest
aud hardest working Of men 1t de-
mandS for conversion into chyle an
amount of nerve power that no invalid
owns and few well people can give; in
every other instance Remaining un-
changed in the bowels until elected as a
foreign substance. Do not touch it
again. Try instead broiled bird or
lamb chop, with q bit of toast.
And the change was all she needed to
mako her sleep peaceful. William +.

The Recall of the Hawks.

Tho recall was interesting an6 forms
one Of the most wonderful features in
hawking. 1t was achieved by tho fall
coner calling out several times with a
loud, far reaching cry, "coomabeel coom-
abce" an evident corruption of "come
(or coome) my bird" The falconer's S
voice at once arrested attention as being,
from long practice, what authorities de-
clare it ought to be, ''full, clear and loud
If not ''tremulouS;" whence he was des-
i%nated as "tho sonorous falconer. {"
These qualities were more than once re-
quired that day when the hawk flew
afar; but Peters voice never failed to
reach her and secure her return.
The cry varied with different men and
in different places, being with some q
long drawn "hol ho!' and with others
"hoo! ha-ha-ha!" all, however, being
known as the "hollowing" of the fall
coner. In this first encounter the recall
was quite successful, for, i'll spite of her
disappointment and lowering watchfully
for the temperance of the lost quarry,
the hawk at once obediently returned to
the falconer's wrist. She was then
smartly hooded and set upon the cage,
for both the falconer and tho laird sue
cessfully achieved this rather difficult
feat. There she took her place in silence,
and apparently without discomposure,
among her fellows, who had BETRAYED
not tho slightest excitement during this
clamorous passage Of arms. - Good
Words

The Lancet has found the following to be
an effectual remedy in his own case:
After taking deep inspiration he holds
his breath till discomfort is felt, then re-
peats the process q second and o third
time. AS rule this is enough to pro-
cure sleep. A slight degrees of asphyxia
is thus relied on as a soporiflc agent, but
the theoretical correctness of this method
is somewhat open to question. Ger
tainly there is proof to show that the
daily expenditure Of oxygen is most act
i've during the waking period, and that
nightly sleep appears TO coincide with a
period of deficient tissue oxygenation.
1t is at least as probable, however, that
other influences are associated with the
production and timely recurrence OF sleep
besides that just referred to. 4 This plan,
moreover, however effectual and bene.
.fcial in the case of its author. is aot

of deficient oxygenation is to increase
blood pressure and slow the hearts ac-
ton. With normal organ, as an occa-
sional occurrence, this might not be Of
much consequence. If, however, the
impeded heart should also be enfeebled by
disease, the experiment might be re-
pcated once too often. -lT
Another combatant in the struggle
with insomnia lays down q series of
rules, for the most part very sensible. to
which he pins his, fifth, Considering
that the chief causes of sleeplessness are
worry and the want of due amount of
exercise and fresh air, he ADVISES his fell
low sufferers to observe the ordinary
rules of hygiene relating to such matters,
to tako food and drink in moderation
and to avoid Of an evening tho use Of
tea, coffee and tobacco. In dealing with
severe nervous irritation from mental or
physical work, he has found daily rest
an almost essential prelude to sleep at
night. Thus he treats Of sleeplessness
rather as tendency requiring constitu-
tional remedies than sympton-of mere
brain excitation. There is much to be said
for his theory and means of treatment.-
