MINNEAPOLIS.
Cba1mber ofCouuerce.

The local trading was fair in futures, with
occasional dizziness and narrow market
generally. With q holiday ahead i'll most
places ADDED to Sunday, there was common
feeling of Indifference as to the remainder Of
the week to speculate in, and few orders APP
peared to be in from outside. The same
causes that appeared to weaken markets for
wheat yesterday proved to have the effect to
produce dullness to day. Shows i'll the win

gave cause to expect high estimates of pros
poets for that crop. SHOWS IN the Northwest

Cash " heat-The cash wheat market was
a little slow at first and then the demand in
creased, with quite brisk inquiry by millers
here and outside, prices in some cases going
up for the cnoice samples nearly to the price
of May. 1t was thought by some that cash
wheat of the lower grades ana samples sold
more easily than for some time, as there were
more buyers for them. The average prices
obtained were better than yesterday. Still

Women's Work in Science.

New England Magazine.
The steady increase of patents grant
ed to women since scientific studies
have been opened to them explains in
part why inventions by that sex have
been heretofore so rare. A list recently
published gives the number of patents
granted to women inventors by the
United States government from the
year 1890 to July l, 1888, as $500. After
1909 to 1915 only one patent was issued.
From 1857 the number of women invent
or sincreased rapidly. In 1870 the number
was sixty; in 1887 the number reached
179. If last years list were published,
it would probably show still more
rapid advance. And these inventions
take wide range, from mere household
and dress inventions to railroad journal
boxes and submarine telescopes. In adj
diti0n to the better scope and Invitation
for inventive genius which wider knowl-
edge gives. the more Independent posi-
ton of women now requires less moral
courage on their part to apply for pat
ents than would have been necessary at
an earlier period.

sEARLEs is SMOOTH.
The Treasurer OF the Sugar Trust
Disappears.

NEW York, Feb. 20.-The senate
committee OH laws resumed its inyesti-
CATION of the Sugar trust this morning.
Before the investigation was resumed.
it was rumored that Treasurer John E.
Searles Jr had DISAPPEARED to avoid be-
ing questioned by the committee. This
was found TO be the case when Deputy
Sergeant-at-Arms Gibbons was called
to the chair. Mr.. Gibbons said he had
been unable to serve the subpOenas on
Messrs. Searle, Theodore Havemeyer.
Hecker Deckost, William Pick and
John Henry Dick. Mr.. Searle, the wit
ness had learned, was in New Orleans.
and had been there for week past,
At Mr.. Havemeyer'S residence, the
witness was informed that Mr..
Havemeyer was out Of town. The wit
ness was sure that Mr.. Havemeyer was
not away but was at home at the time.
Mr. Deckost was said to be III London
and the MeSsrs. Dick are at lslip. l.. L.
Mr.. Gibbons says he was greatly ham
pered by the people in the office OF the
trust company in Wall street, as Inc
employees did all they could 10 prevent
him from finding the persons wanted by
the committee. Mr.. Ogden, for the
trust, tried to explain that Mr.. Searle
had been North for nearly a month and
that he had gone away on business.
Senator Coggleshall-Your law partner,
Mr.. Shepherd, said that DIr Searle was i'll the
city and could be found at any time. How is
that?
Mr.. Ogden-Well, Mr.. Shepherd must have
been mistaken. L am speaking OF what
know to be fact.
Senator Coggleshall-This is strange. Mr..
Searle had occasion TO go away Oh business
Oh the last occasion be was wanted here.

UNDER THE SIGN.
He Sat There Till He Attracted
Attention, Then He Got Up.

He Sat There Till He Attracted
Attention, Then He Got Up.
Kansas City Globe.
He was real pretty young mani and
he was gotten up in the highest style of
art. He sat in the cable car, next to the
stove. and regarded with evident adj
miration pair of very positive, very
loud-checked and very new ktrousers,
which he pulled up carefully at the
knees to prevent any tendency to bag
ging.
The car ratified and clattered along,
and all the passengers gaZed into up
ward vacancy like all cable car pasSen-
gers do. Finally fair maiden, who sat
opposite the young man, saw something
and giggled, after the fashion OF her
kind. Then she looked at the nice
young man and glggled again, then she
nudged her fair companion, and the fair
companion gaZed across the car, looked
at the young man, and glggled. A
small boy followed their looks, stared at
something over the young mans head,
and then Snorted.
All this annoyed the nice young man,
who had been looking very wise, and
when two or three other passengers
joined in the chorus he began to wrig-
gle and quit looking wise. The laugh
ing increased, and grew, and spread.
and the nice young man grew desper-
ate. He got up to SEE what it was over
his head that caused the unseemly each
ination. He found It, 1t was one of
those big cardboard signs that adorn
cable cars. 1t was printed in big black
letters and it said:
"The young man sitting beneath this
card is one of our customers. He is very
fussy and hard to please, but, my! isn't
he an elegant dresser? He has on a
pair of our So pants"
The nice young man left the car-left
it in haste, in anger-leaving behind
him some very naughty words that
smelt of sulphur.

DULUTH, Feb. 20.-There was a very dull
market day. owing to partial interru ption
in the telegraph between here and Eastern
markets. The fact of yesterdays report of
injury to French crops by frost, and general
report of stiffening of prices in Europe. kept
up the market here. May wheat started with
an advance over yesterdays close of s4c, but
prices tuctuated after the opening. May
wheat declined Ac, recovered again, and
again declined lac, and again 1Sc No sales
of wheat ON track were made i'll the fore
noon. No. northern wheat on track sold
later at 93e. Lots of 10000 and $4,000 bu of
May wheat were sold. Prospects Of colder
weather and foreign news kept the prices
up, but orders from outside to sell, and free
Offering of wheat forced prices down again,
The close was dull, but fairly firm
at all advance of 4c the day, except
in May No. 1 northern, which went

opened at 96c, there were no transactions of

FARM NOTES.

In handling mare and colt. says a cor
respondent of the National StOckman.
my plan is not to work the mare for a
day or two before foaling, nor for three
or four days after and then lightly,
being careful not to get her heated up.
The last colt 1 raised | never let follow
me in the fields at work at all, and had
the least bother and raised Just as good
a colt as any-in fact it did better, |
thought. 1t made some fuss the first
day OF two, but soon got so it didn't eX
pect to 20, and | had 10 trouble in get
ting the mare out of the barn without ii.
| kept the mare and colt in double stall.
As soon as | noticed the colt wanting to
eat with its mother, put up some oats
in the other box, and, by the time it
was old enough TO wean, it would eat a
quart Of oats three times day, and how
it crew. l could not see that the Wean-
ing ever hurt it particle. | put a colt
halter on it. and weaned it right beside
its mother. 1t never fretted any to
speak of. You who have not tried this
plan of not letting the colt follow, if
you try it once don't believe you Will
ever go back to the old way. BY this
plan the colt doesn't knock down any
corn, get into the barb wire fence, or
get into your grain or grass sickles.

On the Platform.

Detroit Free Fress.
We had an hour to wait at railroad
junction in Louisiana. and four or five
of US sat down in the shade on the edge
of the platform and hung our legs over.
1t was very comfortable, and we were
smoking and talking, when man with
a rope in his hand, evidently looking
for a stray mule, came out of the bushes
opposite us and stood looking up and
down the track. By and by he directed
his gaze toward our feet, but we didn't
mind him until he drawled out:
'You all. therep'
"Well?" queried one.

why, and then looked over to see rat
tlesnake about seven feet long, just
coiling himself for strike after having
crawled out from under the platform.
A handy grindstone was dropped down
on him. and when some one thanked
the native he called back:

hunted fer him three days would hev

THE HOUSEKEEPER'S RESCUE
A New Profession to Brighten tn,
Lives of Vou0n CoupIeS

A New Profession to Brighten the
Lives of Young Couples.
The woes ofyoung housekeepers have
been described so often that it is re-
markable that a practical teacher of
housekeeping has only just now arisen.
One of the army of women who had to
do something for her own and family's
support. and whose limitations were de-
fined narrowly, as she thought, within
the qualifications of a systematic and
skillful hOuSekeeper, had the bright
idea to utilize her one accomplishments.
For some months she had been estab-
lished in her unique occupation. She
spends a fortnight or month in the
newly founded household, superintend-
ing the servants, adjusting the details,
and, in fact, getting the domestic ma
chine in running order and teaching
the young housekeeper just what touch
to put upon the cOgs and wheels in or
der to keepit so. 1t is marvel that no
body has thought of it before.
Now that start has been made how
ever, there are likely to be other pro-
fessOrs who Will seek patronage. It will
be we'll perhaps to remind such that
woman to succeed in this work must be
first a practical, not a theoretical,
housekeeper herself, and must be be-
sides systematic person and of good
executive ability. She must also have
the power to impart her knowledge, for
teachers like poets are born, not made
All households will not need the same
routine, each presenting individual
problems, and she who undertakes their
regulating must have the adjustable
I.
these characteristics she will be likely
to find her profession of expert profit
able, as it certainly is praiseworthy.

HNDUsTREALs STRONG.
Otherwise Wall Street Ruled
Rather Dull.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-The Interrupt
ton of Geographic communication over
large portion of the country added to
the already very marked indlsposition
of both domestic and foreign operators
to do anything in the stock market
pending developments, served to render
the transactions to-day the smallest for
any full day for the present year and
long time previous. The only move
ments in the list Of note were those
in the corn roads, the Wizards,
and the industrials. the last
named being, if anything, the
features Of the day. especially
the cotton oil stocks, which were active
the bulls on the property, both the old
cent. Silver was again weak. The rest
Of the market was absolutely without
feature of any kind, and, while there
was firm opening. with further adj
vanceS in the corn roads, the hammer
ing operations OF the traders brought
most stocks below the level of the open
ing prices. The covering later brought
everything up again. and the best prices
of the day were reached in the last hour,
the market finally closing dull but firm
at small fractions better than the OPEN
ing figures. The final changes are
all small, fractional advances, with
no material improvement anywhere.
Railroad bonds were relatively more
active than shares, but the business of
only 1898, 900 was small enough and the
trading, as in stocks. was devoid of feat
ures throughout the entire session, the
final changes being confined to the
smallest fractions, though generally in
the direction of higher figures. Gov
eminent bonds have been dull and
steady. State bonds have been entirely
neglected. There was lively move
ment in petroleum IN the first two
hours in the March option on Pennsyl-
vania oil, but the rest of the oil market
was neglected. March options opened
steady and declined &c on few selling
orders, and then advanced &c on cover
ing, but reacted later and closed steady.
March option: sales, 10000 bbls; open
ing. zoe; highest, 7714e; lowest. 7514c;

Rules for Mixers.

Always treat COWS gently. Keep your
finger nails cut short and wash your
hands thoroughly in warm water. A
cows teats are very sensitive, and the
animals reStiveness is often owing to
the fact that she breads rough ways and
touch.
Clean your cowshed thoroughly before
you milk. Hardly any substance is so
easily contaminated by foul odors as
milk.
Have your utensils as clean as your
hands. If of tin, set them out in the
sunlight. If you have long tin cans,
hang them up so that the open end is
near the earth. There is no better de-
odorizer than the soil.
Give a little salt id their feed; it will
keep the bowels regular, while if you
give small quantity once week it is
apt to act like phySic.
