The wheat market war which has
been in progress in this city for
couple Of weeks is, in reality, a rail-
road war to a great extent. The Os-
wego Seed and Grain Go. has always
confined its business TO Frisco points
and shipped via that road exclusively.
Up to two weeks ago the NJ, X. & T.
was getting no grain business at this
point, but about that time a Parsons
firm came down and engaged A. g..
Peck 10 buy for them. Close competi-
ton was at once aroused and has con.
tinued ever since. Whether the losses
are made up by the railroad compan-
les or not is unknown, but II is certain
that higher prices have been paid for
wheat on the streets Of this city than
can be possibly realized on it in St.
Louis. The buyers are: for Oswego

old Reliable Lemen Bros. Shows.


Many OF our older readers wi recall
the name OF the above well known
establishment that exhibits in our city
Aug. 20th with pleasure. With many
Of them IL brings vividly to mind the
first elephant they ever saw. There is
whole sermon in the career of this
show. 1t proves that when any con.
Germ becomes known as an honestly
conducted one and fulflls its promises
to the public, that il succeeds, and
the business flourlshes and becomes a
fixture to be handed down from gener-
alton TO generation. II proves, also,
Che truth of the old proverb that
"Honesty is the best policy" The
career OF Lemen Bros. show from 1880
until the present has been one of con-
tinuous success. And the proprietors
deserve 1t. They haze always given
the public the worth Of their money.
In these days Of humbug it is really
refreshing to able to speak in terms of
praise of an amusement enterprise.
This year the managers promise us a
surprise in the shape of the largest
elephant on earth. 1t is Rajah, and
to-day stands two inches taller than
Jumbo. 1t is the largest creature that
| breathes the breath Of life.

Except with those who desire to
originate new varieties, the potato is pro-
pagated from the tubers, and with some
sorts this is kept up so continuously it is
sometimes said that if favorable con-
ditions of culture and soil were always
offered, variety will not run out from
natural degeneracy. Whether this be
true, theoretically or not, experience has
shown that under the common methods
of culture and selection of seed which
have been practiced by farmers, varieties
that were once the best known and most
valued have degenerated or run out to
such an extent that their names are
scarcely ever mentioned.
Among some Of these old timers may
be named the Nashannock and the Long
John, the first not surpassed for general
excellence nor the latter for great pro-
ductlveness and bookkeeping qualities
by any of our newer sorts. Later came
the Peachblow, to bear the palm for a
few years aud then fall into comparative
obscurity. No better evidence of
habitual degeneration in the potato can
be adduced than the fact that our pre-.
vailing types are seedlings of more mod
ern origin. Another characteristic OF
the potato plant deserving of mention
and difficult to account for is the scarcity
of bloom and seed oalls in most of the
new varieties as compared with those of
fifty years ago.-New York World.

ABSURD HEAD-DREsS.

Stewart. the great hairdresser, says
cat no period in the history of the world
was anything more absurd in head-dress
worn than at the close of the Eighteenth
Century. The body of these monuments
of ugliness was formed of tow, over
which the hair was turned and false hair
added in great curls, hobs and ties, and
powdered to profusion, then hung all
over with vulgarly large rows OF pearls or
glass beads, fit only to decorate a chan
delier. Flowers as obtrusive were stuck
about this heap of tinery, which was sur
mounted by broad silken bands and
great ostrich feathers, until the head
dress of lady added three feet to her
stature" Imagine the discontinue of
people who attended the play and wished
to view the stage! Three feet of fnery
hiding from sight the very thing one
came to see. In this era of tiny theatre
bonuets the picture drawn by the famous
Stewart reduces to minimum the In.
consideration on the part of our women
of to-day who but yesterday, or quite
recently, wore the broad haring street
hat to the theatre and expected the
people sitting behind to dodge about in
order to catch an occasional glimpse of
the play and suffer from a crick in their
necks for days thereafter.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

The Snake an All.round Athlete.

1t has been suggested that mans in
stinctive dread of the snake is remin-
iscence of his original tropical residence,
where he no doubt had good cause to
fear them. This feeling Of aversion is
general, but is by no means universal.
Shelley, for instance, regarded the snake
as the emblem of innocence, as will be
seen in the "Revolt of Islam" The ORR
gin ofthis feeling was probably his ac-
guaintance with the little snake which
lived in the tall grass of the Sussex
house in which Shelley passed his child
hood. There is an impression on the
part of many that the snake has defec.
tive organization, which is certainly not
true. AS Owen said, the snake can out
climb the monkey, outswim the fish,
outwrestle the athlete, can crush the
tiger, and, jumping into the air, can
seize the bird on the wing. Snakes
really walk with their ribs, which are
attached to platelike scales, very good
method of progression. They are often
represented in pictures as advancing by
vertical bendings of the body, which
they never do. The mistake is probably
due to the fact that the snake is rather
unfamiliar object and that artists have
attempted to represent its motion with.
out having seen it.-New York Times.

FASHION NOTES.

For skirt and blazer white pique is
preferred fabric.
Yachting suits of burnt sienna are con
sidered very natty.
Corded challies sprinkled with flowers
are summer novelty.
Mautles are made in the visite form,
and are of fine cloth in light brown,
electric blue or terra Gotta.
Hats are mass of flowers these days,
and the art of initiating nature is fruit
full of most charming results.
As rule, the hair is curled or frizzed
in front, the effect being so artistic and
generally becoming that it is still popu-
lar, Notwithstanding predictions to the
contrary.
Short sleeves have again returned for
dinner and theatre toilettes. Sometimes
lace is ruffled at the TOP of the gloves,
and often gold bracelets set with prec-
ious stones are worn on the arms.
The princesse gowns open at one side
to show an underskirt of different color.
and the bodice and sleeves are slashel
with puftings of the same color, or opened
in some odd fashion and laced across
with cord.
The French foulards show less Of
novelty in their design and coloring THAI
any other of the summer silks. These
textiles are patrouized year after year by
a quiet, conservative class who have got
over the taste for novelty, even if they
ever possessed it.

Merits Of Various Foods.

There will always be difference OF
| opinion as to the respective merits of the
various kinds of food used for human
subsistence. The vegetarians point to
splendid specimens of humanity, brought
up in their faith and practice, as proof
that the products of the kitchen garden
are the most natural and wholesome food
for man, while the advocates of the
various modern systems of physical train
ing are just as emphatic in their belief
that animal food is essential to the per-
feet physical and mental condition of
man. This belief is in the line with the
conclusion arrived at by an eminent
American physician few years ago. He
established series of careful tests, ex-
tending over considerable period, and
employed number of men by the month
to do nothing but take the kind of food
he gave them at whatever time and for
whatever length of time he desired. The
physical condition of these men was &C.
cu-ately tested and recorded, and the re-
suits which have been preserved are
most interesting reading. Oatmeal, which
has quite respe ctablc reputation as an
article of breakfast diet, was found to
be most undesirable food, and John
sons definition of it as an article s'used
in England as food for horses and in
Scotland as food for men" was thor
oughly indicated. Vegetables were
placed very low in the scale of nutrition,
and most of them were found to do more
harm than good. The best results in
every way were secured from meat diet.
1t is beyond question that many races
of men who live entirely on animal food
are exceptionally hardy and free from dis
eases of all kinds. Sir Francis Head lived
for some time with the pampas Indians,
who have neither bread, fruit nor vege-
tables, but subsist entirel yon the flesh of
their mares. These men pass their lives
ON horseback, and in spite of the climate,
which is burning hot in summer and
freezing in winter, go absolutely naked,
not even having Governing for their
heads. Sir Francis says that after he had
been living for three or four months on
beef and water he found himself in a
condition of superb health, and felt as if
no exertion could kill him. Although
he constantly arrived at the camp so com.
pletely exhausted that he could not speak,
a few hours sleep on the ground with
his saddle for pillow always SO CON-
pletely restored him that for week he
could be on his horse every day before
sunrise, ride two or three hours after sun
set, and when necessary tire out ten or
twelve horses day. He considers that
the condition necessary for covering the
immense distances which people in South
America are said to ride could only be
on beef an water. Another con-
irmation of this view of the diet ques
ton is afforded by the practice of the
Gauchos of the Argentine Republic, who
live entirely on roast beef and salt, and
whose sole beverage is mate, or Paraguay
tea, taken without sugar. -Chicago

WOMEN AS DOCTORS.

The world moves. Until generation
ago woman doctor was hardly known
within the circle of the regular medical
profession, and they were looked upon
in every community as charlatans Or
crenks. The prejudice against them
entering the medical profession was
almost universal, and strange as it may
seem the prejudice of women against
their own sex in profession for which
they should be specially fitted aud in
which they are specially needed, was
even more profound than the same pre-.
JUDGE among the sterner sex. But
steadily, though slowly, public senti-
ment has advanced to accord to women
the obvious just right Of entering any
of the professions, and women now prac-
tice both law and medicine in every sec.
ton of the country.
The progress of the age in advancing
women to their just rights in the battle
of life was impresslvely illustrated in the
Academy of Music during the last week,
when forty-two young women appeared
oPou edo oIhSO as 81 auootoS VI tie
Woman's Medical College, of this city,
with their fairly won titles of Doctors of
Medicine. 1t is gratifying to know that
this college has been in existence for
forty years, but it is only within the last
score of years that it has been able to
present anything approaching gradua-
ting class respectable in numbers. Now
women practitioners are not only known
but respected in almost every community,
and the success they have attained in the
profession more than justifes the great
battle that was fought to win for them
open doors to distinction in the profes.
sion.
It will seem strange to the readers OF
history half century hence to learn that
women were excluded from the profes.
sions of the country until even after the
noon tide of the Nineteenth Century, for
there is little reason to doubt that in
much less than half century women
physicians will fairly divide the medical
practice with their professional brethren,
and men physicians, in the many cases
in which every consideration of delicacy
should prefer women physician, will
be quite as uncommon as women were
generations ago.-Philadelphia Times.

Tur7Oue Wartime of eha Rrosn

There is good story told Of the
powers Of the Rev. W. II. GLADDEN.,
the evangelist. Mr. GLADDEN. was
brought into prominence last summer
by his work at the Tarentum camp
meeting. There the religious fervor
ran 50 high that it was a common oc-
currenCe for persons at the meetings
to become OyerDowered and remain
insenSible for sometime. One instance
IS recalled Of a man who, becoming
excited, shouted "GIo-" and then
fell over unconscious, remaining In
that condition for an hour. On COM
ing to he completed the exclamation
by saying "ry,' showing that his
mouth had been set for the word
"Glory,' but at the first syllable ami
nation was suspended and when the
senses were restored the lips had to
complete the word. -Pittsburg Times.

Giant Powder in Their Boots,

It is a curious fact that no one miner
out of every hundred who has had any
experience will do anything but put the
sticks of giants powder into his bootlegs.
He knows just about how much giant
powder he will reed during the shift,
and these hereceives before he enters the
shaft house to go down. Then he care
fully places it in the leg of his boot aud
in this manner conveys it into the mine.
The miners have stopped "crimping" the
Illuminating caps with their teeth. This
is due, probably, to the suicide at Chi
cago Of Lingg, one of the anarchists. who
was sentenced to be hanged with Spies
and the rest. Lingg exploded one of
the caps by biting it and blew most of
his head off. Now the majority of the
miners crimp the cap on the heel OF their
beet with Q knife.-Grsat Divide.

SOWING OATS BY HAND.


Since the drill came into use it has be-
come the fashion to SOW all grain with
it. An exception may, we think, prop
erly be made of oats. If the ground has
been properly fitted it is almost impossi-
BILE to drill oats without covering the
seed too deeply. The oat ground ought
always to be rolled after the crop comes
up. Ifit has been drilled this breaks
down the ridges and covers the seed
deeper than ever. On the other hand,
sown carefully by hand by a good sower
the oats can be distributed as evenly as
with drill. After dragging the plowed
surface to level it down sow the oats by
hand and cover with the smoothing har-
row. 1t will cover them ut a nearly
uniform depth of one inch. If rain comes
go as topack the ground, go over it with
the smoothing harrow again. Thus
treated, oats will yield as large crop as
the land is capable of producing. The
only advantage of the grain drill for oats
is that with fertilizer attachment
commercial fertilizers can be drilled ID
with the seed. But oats are a grain crop
so low priced that it pays less for extra
fertilizers than any other. Most farmers
prefer to use commercial manures on
wheat or barley, letting the oat forage
for itself on what fertility can be devel
oped by good preparation of the seed
bed. If oat roots are stimulated by a
little phosphate in spring, they will
leave the ground poorer for the follow
ing crop of wheat than it would be to
postpone the phosphating until the
winter grain is sown.-Boston Cultiva-
tor.

Prof. Garner in the Forum says
that his researches leave him no
doubt at all that monkeys do really
talk. The range Of their language,
or languages, for each variety speaks
a separate tongue, is small, and they
have no apparent conception of alb
stract ideas. But not only do they
use many distinct words with definite
meanings-sOme Of which he has
learned and is able to reproduce-but
some Of their words, he declares, are
evidently not sounds that occur in
the human languages In short he
thinks that in their simian tongues
he has found the primitive form of
the first human speech.

Some interesting observations re-
lating to the surgical treatment OF
wounds by birds were recently brought
by NJ. Fatio before the Physical So
ciety Of Geneva. According to the
Medical Review, he quoted the case
of d snipe which he had often OBJ
served engaged in repairing damages.
With its beak and feathers it makes
a very creditable dressing, applying
plasters to bleeding wounds, and even
securing broken limb by means Of a
stout ligature. On one occasion he
killed snipe which had on the chest
large dressing composed Of down
taken from other parts Of the body
and securely fixed to the wound by
the cOagulated blood. Twice he had
brought home snipe with interviewer
feathers strapped on the site Of frac-
ture Of one or other limb.
