OF INTEREST. TO ATHLETES.

James Robinson, the athletic trainer at
Princeton College, Princeton, N. j..
says:
~ have found it imperative to have
sure and simple remedies on hand in
case of cuts, bruises, strains, sprains,
colds, rheumatism, etc. Shortly after
entering upon my profession in this
country, discovered such remedy in
ALLCOCK'S Porous PLASTERS. tried
other plasters, but found them too harsh
and irritating.
ALLCOCK's Porous PLAsTERs give
almost instantaneous relief, and their
strengthening power is remarkable. l
have cured scores of students and
friends of sore Threats and colds by the
application of these plasters on the
throat and chest. [ had pupil who
contracted severe cold which settled
on his kidneys. placed two plasters
over the kidneys, and the result was
that in six hours he was entirely well.
on the small of the back, and in short
time you will be capable of quite severe
exercise. In ''sprint' and distance"
races and jumping, the muscles or ten
dons in the legs and feet sometimes
weaken. This can invariably be re-
lieved by cutting the plaster in narrow
strips, so as to give free motion, and ap-
plying on muscles affected.
/ have used ALLcoCK's PLAsTERs
successfully IN walking matches, when
the legs became tired and swollen with
over-exertion, by covering the impor
tant muscles with them.
1t is my unreserved opinion-an
opinion formed after considerable eX
perience ALLCoCK's Porous
PLA STEERS are most efficacious and
valuable remedy"

what resembled modern jewellers in not

out in preliminary gifts 500, 900 to $780,,

reach his princely customers he made
them come down with the dust in re-
munerative quantities. 1t was neces
sary, sometimes, to secure the good
will of the ruler himself be-
fore the potentate would look at
things from the right point of
view. In consideration of the
profits he expected to get out of the
Great Mogul, for example, Tavenier
deemed it wise to present that customer
with some costly specimens of the high
est art French silverware of his day.
He sometimes encountered court officers
who desired to buy his jewels, and
themselves sell them to their master,
and this sort of opposition cost him TO-
600 rupees once in case where he de-
sired to reach the sultan. 1t is evident
that the jewelrybusiness of the ''g God
old times"-even such select branch
of it as Tavenier followed-had its
troubles, though not the same as are
now complained of. Louis XIV. was a
patron of Tavernier's, and conferred on
him the title of Baron of Aubonne-

Our age has no jewellers of the kind
of which the French traveller, Tavernier,
was a mountaineering example.
He was really peddler, but of such
high grade that he rather overtopped
the regulars. Then he combined bust
ness and literature, writing a book of
travels that has outlived him couple
of centuries, and which in our day is
deemed worthy of new edition and a
distinguished editor. He began busi-
ness early, having visited many parts of
Europe by the time he was fifteen years
old. He often carried value of gems
varying from 100000 to 100000,
and he sought for the cream Of

COMETS IN SLAVERY.
Some Wonderful Facts Regard
ing Them.

Prof. George M. Seorle lectured re-
Gently at the Catholic university in
Washington, ID. c., on the movements
and physical appearance of comets. He
began. says the Star, by saying that the
movements of the comets, so far from
being erratic, as is commonly supposed,
are perfectly definite, and their orbits
are more easily calculated than those of
the planets. The only reason why they
do not become members of our solar
system is simply that they usually travel
in curve called a parabola, which is
an infinite curve in its own nature and
never returns into itself. Comets in
general are supposed to drop from space
into the solar system, and, after pass
ing around the sun, to leave it
never to return. There are some comets,
however, which are permanent members
of the solar system aud are prolific.
These are supposed to have been
brought into the system by the disturb
ing action of one or more of the great
plants as they were entering or attempt
the remarkable comet of LeXell, which
was made member of our system in
1867 by Jupiter as it was entering, prob
ably for the first time. 1t passed near
the elrth in ITO, and made one COM
plete revolution around the sun; then,
as it passed near Jupiter again, in 1779,
it was caught by its influence and
thrown into a different orbit. What
that orbit was was not known until last
year, in which the wanderer was again
picked up and found to have probably
been thrown into twenty-siX-year Pc
Rod by Jupiter in 1779, and, again meet
ing it in 1886, to have changed its period
to one of eight years. In that orbit it is
now travelling, but will probably under
go some further change from its next
meeting with Jupiter in 1928.
He went on to describe Donati's
comet of 1858, the specimen comet of
this century, as far as regular develop
ment was concerned, and one of the
most beautiful that have been seen, as
many who are now living will remem-
Der. Views of this comet were given in
various stages OF its development as it
appears to the naked eye, and also as
the head appears in the telescope. In
the views of the latter the formation of
the envelopes and the tail was shown.
The question OF the physical constitu-
ton of comets, as shown by the spectre
scope, was then brought up and Illus
trated by views. The spectroscope, as
far as observations have yet gone,
shows principally in comets gas SINH
lar to our Illuminating gas. When they
approach near the sun, and are SUBJ
jected to great heat, the spectrum lines
of some metals appear, principally So
dunn and magnesium, and possibly
iron. Views and descriptions were
also given of the wonderful comet of
1882, probably the most extraordinary
that has appeared in modern times. The
lecturer concluded with an allusion to
the connection of comets with meteor

CHICAGO, June 9.-As is frequently
the case in the wheat market dull day
is bear day, and that was the name
earned by the one under review. The
price was fairly steady for long time,
Keeping around 92c, but toward the lat
ter part of the session the persistent
dropping of Hutchinson's offerings
softened the market and it crumbled
away rather rapidly toward the end,
selling down to 9119c and closing at
911a@915s, or about &c lower than on
Saturday. The market opened with
prices at about Saturdays closing fig
ures. There was first little decline of
nc to sc, and this was followed by
fairly good bulge of &c in July and
about 1ac for other months. Before l
o'clock prices again yielded to about
the bottom figures early. The
depression in both instances was
the result of pretty general local selling
on bearish feeling in the pit Hutch
inson was seller all day, apparently
wishing others to sell, and keeping the
market supplied with wheat for that
purpose. The up-turn before noon was
due to the prospect Of very large de-
crease in the visible supply, to private
cable advices, which were bullish, and
to the influence of New York, which
about that hour was up about 1c. Jones'
Kennel cablegrams said English crops
are late and India crop not favorable.
The visible supply when posted showed
a decrease of $4,000 bu, or about half
the decrease of year ago. There was
bearish feeling in wheat the last half
hour, and prices were further de-
pressed. July sold off 1ac under
the low price early to 9136c, and
closed at 911ac. Other closing prices
were: June, 9O1ac; August, 911a@915sc;
September, 91%c; December. $3.50.
General reports of the crop being back
ward gave very firm tone to the early
dealings in corn, but the weakness of
wheat toward the close and the visible
supply figures together produced a
change of sentiment. The market
closed 114c higher for July. and 1s@4c
higher for later deliveries. There was
another bulge in oats, due to the re-
ports that have been received by the
Illinois state board of agriculture of an
insect pest that is spelling the crop.
There were other causes for the adj
vance, among which were reports of a
similar state of affairs in other states,
the cold weather and good inquiry for
export at present prices. There was
heavy trading in August and September,
the anxiety of the shorts to cover shov-
ing prices up 1z4c in both months. June
was comparatively Inactive, while July
showed a good days business. The pro-
vision market was dull and closed with
out special change in price from Satur-
days final figures.
