Do Your Own Painting.

VoU can get a half-pint can of sherwin
II Williams ready-mixed liquid paint in
IA colors or shades for bets, a pint for poets,
or more at less rates, a good brush for l0cts,
and find it not only a saving, but a pleasure
also, to brighten un such OF your furniture or
housekeeping utensils as need it. Nearly
every home must have about it some of the
following articles which need painting:
Baby Carriage, Box or Bench, Tables,
Bucket or Barrel, Bird House, Cupboard,
Coal Box, Garden Tools, Hitching Post,
old Furniture, Window sash, Blinds,
Flower Stand, Wainscoating, Tubs,
Harrows, Plows, Pumps, Pals,
Chairs, Desk, Wagons, Etc.
The paint is the very best, being mixed with
pure 1inseed oil, is a quick dryer, and gives a
high gloss to all work it is used on. The Sher-
win Williams Company make the highest
grade paint on the market to-day, (all other
dealers are willing to own to this), and while
the price on some of their goods is a tribe
more, the covering qualities are greater and
the lasting qualities much more permanent.
Our store at the corner is painted with it.
You can see what it looks like. We are pre-
pared to furnish it from a half-pint can to
such quantities as might be required to paint
u town, at the manufacturers lowest rates.
Those who think OF painting might save
money by seeing us.

At a Reading.

The spare professor, grave and bald,
Began his paper. 1t was called,
/ think, "A Brief Historic Glance
At Russia, Germany and France"
A glance, but to my best belief
Twas almost anything but brief,
a wide survey, in which the earth
Was seen before mankind had birth;
Strange monsters basked them in the sun,
Behemoth, armored glyptodon,
And in the dawnis Impractical ray
The transient dodo winged its way;
Then, by degrees, through slit and slough,
We reached Berlin-I don't know how.
The good professors monotone
Had turned me into senseless stone.
I~nstanter, but that near me sat,
Hypatia in her new spring hat,
Blue eyed, intent, with lips whose bloom
Lighted the heavy, curtained room.
Hypatia-oh. what lovely things
Are fashioned out Of eighteen springs.
At first, in sums of this amount,
The eighteen winters do not count.
Just as my eyes were growing dim
With heaviness. / saw that slim,
Erect. elastic figure there,
Like a pond lily taking air.
She looked so fresh, SO wise, SO neat,
So altogether crisp and sweet,
Iquite forgot what Bismarck said,
And why the emperor shook his head,
And how 1t was Won Moltke's frown
Cost France another frontier town.
The only facts | took away
From the professors theme that day
Were these: A forehead broad and low,
Such as the antique sculptures show:
A chin to Greek perfection true;
Eyes of Astarte's tender blue;
A high complexion without fieck
Or flaw, and curls about her neck.

An Epitaph.

III E1FTthPHs
Breathe not nal nisi bonum DER my dust;
A manly soul would ever take to task
TIL charity that stiles truth, and ask
That what thou sayest be severely Just.
If all my virtue be a hollow crust,
My heart a devils shrine, my face a mask
OF Christian love that living may bask
In mems approval, then dispel their trust.
Nor do crave for studied praise Of wit
And wisdom that l never nave possessed;
/ should go hence content if on the bit
OF stone that tells my dates Of birth and
rest,
In truth and s~oberness, there might be writ:
HE was loved best by those who knew him
best

Mystery.

Ibid not love him; long ago
Instead of Yes / gave him No.
! did not love him, but today
Tread his marriage notice. Pray
Why was | sad, when never yet
Has my heart known the least regret
Over that whispered No? And why,
Reading the notice, did I sigh?
No analyst can guess the cause;
A woman's reason laughs at laws.
Sure, | am glad to know the wound
l gave is healed; that he has found
Loves blessedness and peace, and yet
Today / seem to see him stand,
With every glance a mute caress,
Still pleading for the longed-for Yes.
His early love for me is dead
Another lives in that loves stead.
And il he loves her well, as men
Should love their chosen ones, why then
He must be glad hat long ago,
Instead of Yes / gave him No.
Perhaps that is the reason why
read the notice with a sigh.

s.LImIrED-TRAGS.


The question why is a LIMITED train so
called has been propounded to a general
passenger agent, who replies as follows:
First-It is limited as to its time.
SecoBd-It is limited as to the Dumber
Of its cars and weight OF train.
Third-It is limited as to the class Of
cars.
Fourth-It is limited as to the number
and class of passengers permitted trauspor-
tation thereon.
This last limit being adopted so that
every passenger may have ample accom-
mod alton and not be crow ded or interfered
with by other passengers. The fact that
an additional fare is charged Oh a limited
train, and, further, that nothing but first
class tickets are accepted for passage, tends
to limit the Glars of travel which is carried.
DIR. Norman Kerr, the famous temper
ance physician Of London, ~testiies as fol-
lows TO the mental effects of alcohol; ''The
reason | have insisted so strongly on the
physical part of .be question is that, in
making observations on dead bodies, /
have constantly found in.,the skulls of those
who drank certain conditions. Now, the
brain is a set of thinking cells, set in a
tough framework OF tissue. All goes well
as long as these two kinds of tissue-the
outward envelope aud the inward contents
are in proper proportion to each other
and to the size Of the skull. Alcohol, how
ever, has the effect of thickening the bind
ing and connecting tissues, thereby dimin-
lshing the space allotted to the thinking
cells. so that they shrink and become IN
able to do their work. Thus, if you come
from a port wine, or champagne, or, still
worse a beer drinking ancestry, you do net
possess the condition of brain which God
intended You TO have; and the result can
not be modified at once, though in course
of time it may be done. l do not care
what spirit is used, the effect is the same.''

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofCoInme rec.

The early markets tor wheat were weak
and lower on lower quotations from abroad.
Liverpool was quoted I'd lower. At the same
time cables SAID country markets were stiff,
and that great damage had been done by
bad weather in England and severe storms
in some parts of the continent. New York
was reported a seller i'll the Western markets.
and that. with considerable selling on purely
Western account, caused the weakness this
morning.

CASH WHEAT.
The cash wheat market was very slow. The
offerings were large, with few buyers on
hand. and they bought sparingly. being

down in the pit Samples that got in at the
opening brought Csc for No. 1 hard, 95l2c for
No. 1 northern, and 94c for No. 2 north
ern, but this basis soon gave way to
lower prices in sympathy with the
decline in futures. The receipts of wheat
for twenty-four hours were $40 cars; ship
ments 167 cars. Duluth received 1S3 cars.

Duluth Wheat.

SpecIal to the Globe.
DULUTH, Aug. q. -There was a weak open
ing of the wheat market here to-day, Septem-
Der falling of Sac and December 1c with a
downward tendency till l o'clock. There
were ~ cars of new wheat on track this
morning, with prospects of big arrivals of
more in few days Weak cables caused the
weakness here. Reports from Cass county.
n. D., indicate damage to late wheat,
and that about one-half of the wheat
in the county is already cut. Manitoba
seems to have suffered severely from frost,
the temperature ranging from - to % deg.
oliver Dalrymple estimates that about one
sixth of the wheat crop of the Red river val
ley is destroyed.
The downward movement in prices kept
on. however. Just the same, and the close
showed a falling off from yesterday OF from
2I2c to 2S4e. with great activity i'll December
and September. The close was as follows:
No. l. hard, cash, CSC; August, 99c; septem-
Der, 99c; No. l northern, cash. 97c; Au-
