OUR WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
The Uniformity Is Not Due to Any Genera
Act of Congress.

The Uniformity Is Not Due to Any General
Act of Congress.
The only units of weight and measure
which have actually received the official
sanction of Congress by the enactment of
law are the Troy pound, brought to this
country by Albert Gallatin during the ad-
ministration of John Quincy Adams, which
was specifically designated by Congress as
the unit for the control of the coinage of
the United States, and the metric units of
length and mass, The use of which was de-
clared to be legal in this country by Con-
gress in 1866, writes MajorJ. w. Powell,
Phi, LII. D., in The Gnautduq,sdn.
The nearly uniform custom prevailing
throughout the country in the use of
weights and measures has grown out of the
action of Congress more than so years ago,
by which the Office of Weights and Meas
ures was authorized to send to every State of
the Union accurate copies of the standards
then in use by the Treasury Department.
These standards were generally adopted by
the various States to which they were
sent, and thus practical uniformity
was secured. The Office of Weights
and Measures has charge of the
preservation of the actual standards in
use by the Treasury Department, and IS
thus the final and only court of appeal in all
questions arising in reference to weights
and measures. Its functions include the
standardizing of weights and measures of
length and capacity in use in the Customs
Department of the United States, the con-
struction and standardizing of weights and
measures for new States as they are admitted
to the Union, and in a general way such
service as similar Offices or bureaus render
in other countries.

GETTING MARRIED IN PARIS.
If Relatives Are Obstinate They Can Max

If Relatives Are Obstinate They Can Make
Lovers Lots of Trouble.
Saturday is the marrying day of the
Partisan ouvrier. 1t is an economical
arrangement. Il gives Pierre two whole
days for celebrating, with loss of but one
in the shop. He IS obliged to take advant-
age of all such devices for, do his best,
marrying is expensive business in Paris.
Before Pierre can with safety select his
particular Saturday he has multitude of
civil and religious requirements to see to.
Neither her nor Lizette can think of such
thing as marrying without the consent of
their families. Iffather, mother and grand
parents are dead, q family council must be
called of the nearest living relatives to con-
slider the case and give or withhold per-
mission. If it is refused to Pierre, and he
is under %, or to LizetIe, and she is under
q, the marriage cannot go on. If they are
over those ages they can summon the re-
calcitrant relatives three times, at intervals
of month each. before a notary to give
consent. If after the third summons, the
permission is still withheld, at the end of q
fourth month, they may marry. That is,
they may, after the proper publications
have been made and necessary documents
taken out

VIC PLACE TALKS ON GRAIN.

The Immense Wheat Crop viii Bring
Prices Very Low-Favors Having Tick
ers Again Put in Public PIaces-Busi-
ness VIII Be Livener.
V. c. Place, formerly q member of the
local Stock Exchange, but for several years
past "high roller" on the Chicago Board
ofTrade. was in Pittsburg yesterday. He
will be remembered as one of the most dar-
ing plungers in oil certificates who tried to
buck against the Standard. He thought
nothing of jumping in and buying or selling
as his fancy told him-5O0, 900 barrels dur
ing session. Many times he has broke the
market down several points by his persist
ent selling, or in turn sent it along by bull
ing it for all it was worth. Mr.. Place now
handles nothing but grain, and speaking Of
the outlook in cereals, said:
"Just at present 1 am bear on the wheat
market. You probably are aware that last
seasons crop was the largest in history.
The Government statisticians place the
total amount of wheat harvested at 612, ,000,-
600 bushels, but have good reasons to be-
Heve that over 700, 600, 900 bushels are more
likely to cover it. 1 understood that this
was Uncle Jerry Rusk's private opinion.
Wheat ought to sell down to S5 cents be-
fore the LIST of February This slow but
continued break of "a cents in the market
is due to the large crops. Crop scares will
more or less depress things, but would not
advise any one to be a bear after March 1.
There is always a demand for wheat, and
the crop can't be too large to supply the
world"
Mr., Place is in favor of replacing the
telegraph "tickers' leading from principal
exchanges, in cafes, poolrooms and public
resorts, giving quotations on stocks and
grain. They were taken out BY order of the
exchanges year or so ago, but those in
strumental in doing so are now realizing
their mistake. '"The rule that it takes the
outsiders to make market stands good in
this case" continued the speaker. "and if
the people see the quotations daily and at
convenient points they will decide whether
a commodity is a sale or purchase, and
probably be induced to speculate. The
movement is receiving a vast amount of
consideration, and 1 have no hesitancy in
saying that the ticker will be again put in
public places. Business is quite brisk in
Chicago, as it always is, but think it will
be far more liyelier in the early spring"

HOME MARKETS QUIET.
The Cereal Situation Continues to Be
in Favor of the Buyer.
HAY IN SHORT SUPPLY AND FIRM.
Zero Weather Gives New Strength to the
Fresh Egg Market
A BETTER MOVEMENT OF GROCERIES
OFFICE OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTSBURG, WEDNESDAY, January 20.

COUNTRY PRODUCE : Jobbing Prices
Liberty street commission merchants were
mostly occupied in the effort to keep warm.
Buyers were few and the movement was
slow, as it has been all the week. The egg
market is reported shade frmer, under the
influence OF zero weather, which weakens
the capacity of hens. Choice grades of
creamery butter and cheese are reported
firm at quotations, while common and low
grades are weak at nominal prices. In lines
of tropical fruits we note firm market for
lemons of high quality. Bananas are quiet
and Florida oranges fairly steady. With
potatoes as the exception to the rule, vege-
tables of all kinds are dull and slow. Pota-
toes are moving freely at the old prices.

Most Of 1t Is Now Made From By-Produot
in Soda Manufacture.
All the aluminium made in this country
at present is brought from Greenland orig
iDally, in the shape of sort of rock that
looks somewhat like alum, called "cryolite, 4"
says an expert at Washington. There is
company in Philadelphia which has for
years past been sending 10 that re-
gion vessels built expressly for that
purpose, and of great strength, to
fetch back cargoes OF this mineral. From
it the concern manufactures soda in enor-
nous quantities for washing and cooking
purposes. After having extracted the soda,
there is lett over q substance which chemists
term oxide of aluminium, and from this
waste material the metal is obtained
The cryolite is dug out of the ground in
Greenland, and there is about enough of it
obtainable to last for so years, but not more.
However, when that is gone or before, re-
sort can be had to enormous deposits of
substance called "bauxite,' found in Ark
ansas. 1t is a compound of oxide of alum
mum, Just as cryoiite is, and looks like
white clay, spread out for miles in fiat lay

The Glee and Banjo clubs of the
Northwest university. of Evanston, will
give one of their droll college enter

Thursday evening. The jolly college
boys have way of their own of not
only singing themselves into soft
place in the hearts of the susceptible
maidenS, but also of irreSistibly attract
ing the entire crowd of young and old
by the audaciouS and devil-maycare
Jauntlness with which they set music to
the most delicious absurditieS imagin-
able. These clubs are one OF the largest
and best Of the college musical organ
iZationS of this country.
The Northwestern university itself
has more than 1900 students and be-
longs to the very first rank of American
institutions of learning. 1t has hereto
fore been customary to charge regular
concert prices for college entertain
mentS, but the Evanston boys are out
Tor free advertisement OF their college
and jolly good time. They care moth
ing for ducats beyond the actual ex-
penseS OF the trip, and consequently
they have put the price of admission
away down and have made it uniform
for the whole house. The generous
patronage that has been accorded to
other college clubs will undoubtedly be
repeated for the Northwestern univer-
sity, and those who want an hour
of jolly and mirth-proyoking song will
do we'll to get their seats early. The
sale of seats opens tomorrow morning
at w. j. Dyer 81 Bros.
