NO Improvement has been noted in the grain
market. and aside from oats all cereals are very
duil. Quite an amount OF hay and cats came IN
yesterday and jobbiug trade in feed and hay is
quite active The hop market continues to
improve, Phil Neis having just: bought about q
car load of strictly choice stock at 1854 cents
Mr.. Neis says nearly all his advices from the
East are to the effect that dealers do not want to
pay more than 16 cents. The demand for
medium stock has materially increased since
the price on choice has taken such sharp adj
vance Mr. Neis says he had an order for some
inferior stock, but could not find any at the
price offered. The lot from which the sample
was taken on which the order was given him
was sold at II cents some days before. He says
that quite an amount of this class OF hops has
been worked of.
There is sharp upward movement in the
price OF logs and the result is that nearly all
the yards in the city and vicinity have advanced
prices of lumber about 81 per thousand all
around. A. S. Kerry, manager of the Hart
Lumber Company, said yesterday with reference
TO the situation:
have never before known the supply of logs
to be so low on Puget sound. The price has
been so low that loggers could not make ends
meets and they quit putting in, and now the
supply is about all sawed up, SO that in a few
weeks there will not be a log to be had. Good
logs have advanced to s. and will go higher
Lumber of course goes up in proportion and all
the local mills of any importance have already
made an advance

Among Chicago's industries Is tao
tory where the manufacture Of shoes toy
corpses is carried on exclusively.
Out of five neat black boxes q repre-.
sentative of the firm yesterday took as
many different sizes. These were adults
and children's shoes. The material Ger
responds with the purpose of their use.
The shoes are certainly nice to took at.
The soles are cut ont Of pssteboard and
are covered with grained paper. The
uppers arc a combination OF quilted
satin and crochet work. A ribbon. In
serted at the top and He'd In neat Bow
knot, holds the shoe to the foot.
"Men's shoes are always black" II
was said. Occasionally We turn out .
lot Of brown ones. We have had special
orders for mems white shoes, but only
in few instances. Shoes for women
and children are always white. They
are not expensive; five to fifteen dollars
will purchase dozen pairs"
The burial shoe is patented article.
It was designed by Joliet Nls.) woman
milliner, who now enjoys the profits of
her idea. The Chicago company has
been in existence for nearly decade,
andis catering to an ever increasing de-
mand. The firm employs travelling
man, who covers all the territory be-
tween Maine and California. 1t takes
ten girls and. several machines to keep
up with his orders. Theaverage month

The precious metal has been employed
both externally sInd internally, in the
metallic state, In solution and by sy1.-
pathy, for great variety of the ills that
flesh is heir to, for over 1900 years! The
train Of thought which led the ancients
to employ this highly priced material
can be well told In the quaint Language
of the distinguished Dutch physician and
chemist, Hermann Boerhaaye; writing
about 1725, he says: "The alchemists
will have this metal contain I know not
what radical balm Of life capable of re-
storing health and continuing 1t to the
longest period.
"What led the early physicians to
imagine such wonderful virtue In gold
was that they perceived certain qualities
therein which they fancied must be
conveyed thereby into the body; gold,
for instance, Is not capable OF being de.
stroyed; hence they concluded itimust
be:very proper to preserve animal sub.
stances and save them from putrefao-

Fire in Australia.

In vet weather it is usual for the
Australian aborigine to carry in the
hand, beneath the kangaroo skin, a
piece of smoldering wood, which COM
pensates the bearer in some sort for the
want Of flannel waistcoat, and en-
ables him to. light,a fire at a moments
notice. ~
One of our men had also a plan on
cold nights of lying down, rolled up in
his furs, upon the ashes Of raked out
fire. He explained to my husband that
the advantage Of thus going to bed was
twofold, being no less good for warmth
than for concealment, especially when
passing the night in strange place,
where the keeping up of fire after dark
might attract the notice of unfriendly
natives.
Each tribe possesses territory Of Its
own, and each family Of the tribe has
its own especial tract of land within
that territory. Here man can light
his fire and build his hut without fear
of molestation. It is in fact his pater-
nal estate, SO that the word "fire" con-
yeys to an Australian the same mean
ing of fatherland or birthplace as the
word .shearth" conveys to European,
and is used by the aborigines in the
same sense.-Mrs. Millett.
