MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The opening wheat markets were stiff at
the outside on firm and slightly better cables
and free buying of futures on the leading ex-
changes Some of the holders of sample
wheat asked more for it, which helped the
prices of futures at the outset. Later, on
lower quotations from New York, st. Louis,
Chicago and other places, prices were easier
again, with range on December between
7SI2c and 7Ss4c. The other months had
about the same range, with the nearer futures
mostly nominal December was the favorite,
with fair dealings i'll May, sold up to S3Ac
The interior movement was reported i'm
proving, with more cars called for on some
roads than before to move it. About o'clock
prices advanced again rapidly, and December
sold to 79I2c.

holding firm for previous prices despite the
weakness and early decline of cent in East
ern speculative markets. Mlllers held OF at
first but when Eastern markets began recov-
ering they took hold TO some extent Sales
were about on yesterdays basis, with buyers,

Cow and snake i'm Love.

Peter M. Larew, a farmer residing
near Newton, n. j., relates curious
tale about snakes affection for a COW
and her milk that would be received
with incredulity were not Larew well
known as man of unQuestiOnabIe
Yeracity.
LareW has only one cow, and lately
this one has been coming home every
night without any milk. Thinking that
some one was stealing milk from the
cow before she left the pasture, Larew
recently loOsed her in a field near the
house, where he could readily detect
any theft. The animal seemed uneasy
when taken from her old hunts, and soon
became so wild that Larew return ed
her to her first pasture ground. The
bars being let down, the cow at once
gallOped to an old tree stump i'll the lot
and began to below loudly.
Soon black snake emerged from the
stump, coiled itself around the cows
headquarters, and, taking teat in its
mouth, began sucking the milk. After
a short time the snake returned to
its hole.
Larew sent hired man for the shot
gun, and waited futher developments.
Within an hour the COW called the snake
and again allowed herself to be MIXED.
At a favorable moment the marksman
discharged the shotgun, completely
severing the head of the snake from
its body.
When the snake was shot the COW
roared and paved the earth like crazy
animal, and continued to act as though
mad for several days, and finally died.
Larew says that he has no doubt that
the bOvine'S heart was broken by the
death of the crawling charmer.

maltese pure, and 25 cents for black.
OF course they must be in good condi-
ton. Some male cats are so given to
back-fence warfare that their hides be
come considerably damaged. The fur
OF the sleek and well-fed domestic pus-
sy is what we find most availab le for
our purposes. Street cats are usually
too ragged and coarse-haired to be use
full"
land what are the purposes of which
you speak?"
''The imitation of more expensive
furS, chiefly. The French dye them
very skillfully. and in that way trans
form the humble tabby after death into
the regal ermine or other beast of rare
and costly skin. The pure black and
maltese and the tortoise-shell are not
dyed, but made to serve in the natural
colors. Rugs of selected tortoise-shell
and maltese are already becoming quite
fashionable, and the best ones are far
from cheap. The only use made of cats
pelts in this country Is in the manufact-
ure of carriage robes, but vast numbers
of them are sent from the United States
to Europe, where they are made into
coats, hats, rugs, dressing-gown Innings
and other garments.
"TaXidermiSts, too, in other parts of
the country, are advertising for kittens
by the thousand for stuffing. In the
process they employ the skin is first re-
moved. leaving only the scraped top of
the skull within 1t. Both head and
body are then built up with pipe clay
and tow, a piece of wire being so adj
justed that one end comes out through
the forehead and the other at the tip of
the tail. To this four other wires run
ming down the legs are fixed. The skin
is then sewn up and the animal formed
into desired position. The final oper-
alton is putting in the eyes. Fastened
upon scrap of red flannel in this man-
ner, small black kitten makes very
pretty pen-wiper.
But where do all the skins come
from?"
MANY are brought into the city estab-
lishments that advertise for them by
small boys who are glad to earn pocket
money by the comparatively easy
method of assassinating few unfort-
innate cats; but the main supply is con-
tributed by professional fur collectors
in different parts of the country, who
shoot them. The ravine woods of New
England are full of them running wild.
They breed wonderfully fast under
such seemingly adverse conditions. and
can be popped off the fences and walls
with ease by an expert marksman. This
is an idle season Just now. and we are
advertising for them as carriage-rObe
material to make up for the fall trade.
A firSt-rate laprobe of catskin is worth
$40 or $50. Yes. indeed. pussy is begin
ming to be recognized as a fur-bearing
animal, and, instead of drowning the
kittens, people will before long be
prOpagating them for their pelts."

Giving and Keeping .

Youths Companion.
To a Frenchman studying English, as
to an Englishman studying French
nothing is so hard to acquire perfectly
as the idiom--the very part of the Ian
guage whice comes most naturally to q
native. The difficulties of our OWL
tongue in this respect are illustrated by
the following dialogue between for
eigner and his English teacher:
"When you give thing" asks the
foreigner, ''you cannot keep it too, can
your"
"Certainly not"
''But when an honest man gives his
word, he always keeps it, does he not?"
''Certainly."
But when he gives his word, how
daes he keep it? Does he take it back?''
Certainly not. When an honest man
gives his word, he never takes it back"
''But if he keeps it. he does not give
it."
''Oh yes, he does"
"Then if he gives it, he doesn't keep
it,"
"Why, certainly he does. Because,
if he doesn't keep his word, he is no
longer an honest man."
"Oh, begin to see!. Having given
his word, and never taken it back, he
keeps it all the whlle?"
Certainly"
''What beautiful language is the
English!"

A Snakes Fatal Meal.

Pittsburg Disatch.
One day last week thoroughbred
collie dog belonging to Charles Gregory,
a farmer living about four miles east
of here, gave birth to litter of beautiful
pups. The little animals were kept in
the barn and every care taken of them,
as Mr.. Goergory had sale for them all
at $50 apiece. Saturday one of the pups,
vet blind, was missing. Search was
made for it high and low, but in vain,
and the confusion arrived at some one
had stolen it.
Last night Mr.. Gregory had occasion
to go to the spring house, and hearing
a queer rustling noise among the milk
crooks, she investigated and discovered
a huge house snake moving sluggishly
across the floor. She quickly dispatched
the reptile, and noticing that its body
about halfway down was enormously
distended, she took it into the house,
where Mr.. Gregory cut it open, and out
rolled the dead body of his missing
fifty-dollar pup.
