Dealers report q fair Improvement in
sks demand for provisions. and the quoted
rs:es are quite sell sustained. While the
t,sds has not yet derived any benefit from
tbs var between China and Japan, il is
confidently expected that good sized
orders for provisions and canned goods
viii In the near future be placed in this
market. Ia the local wheat market Satur-
dsy there was a more extensive demand
Ar both shipping and milling grades. The
s,odace markets were very quiet, as the
stocks we're well cleaned up. Peaches.
pears and lemons were almost entirely
sold out. Apples are selling well At the
oaoied rates. although supplies are heavy.
Berries are plentiful and cheap. Canta-

and dealers are shading asking prices to

advanced agures. Eggs are plentiful and
quiet. Poultry 10 dull and occasionally

What Goes to Mako Paper.

Paper can be made out of almost
anything that can be pounded to pulp.
Over fifty kinds of bark are employed,
while old sacl1ing or bagging makes a
good article. Paper is. made out of
banana skins, from bean stalks, pea
vines, cocoanut fiber, clover and timo-
thy hay, straw, fresh-water weeds, sea
weeds and more than one hundred diff
ferent kinds of grass. Paper has been
made from hair, fur and wool, from as
bestos, which furnishes an article in
destructible by fire; from hop plants,
from husks of any and every kind of
grain. Leaves make a good, strong
paper, while the husks. and stems of
Indian corn have also been tried, and
almost every kind of moss can be made
into paper. There are patents for
making paper from sawdust and shaw
ings, from thistles and thistle-down,
from tobacco stalks and tan bark. 1t
is said that there are over two thou
sand patents in this country covering
the manufacture of paper. No matter
what the substance, the process is sub
stantially the same; the material is
ground to a pulp. then spread thinly
over a frame and allowed to dry, the
subsequent treatment depending on
the kind of paper to be made.

FLEEING FROM FOREST FIRE.

The Experience of n Visitor to a Lumber
Camp in Northern Michigan.
seThe most exciting experience ever
had said T. e. Spencer to writer
for the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, twas
in forest fire near Manistee, Mich. l
had visited a small lumber camp and
retired to rest in one of the hunks pro-
vided FOR the choppers. 1 was awak-
end by strong light from the north,
and, going outside of the wooden
shanty, it seemed to me that the entire
world was on fire. 1t cracked and
snapped, danced and jumped as if the
demon of fire was holding high car
nival and celebrating the end of the
world. From every side could be heard
sounds like the firing of cannon and
the shrieks of human beings. 1t was
the falling of the boughs and the sigh
ing of the wind, but never heard so
horrible a sound, nor witnessed so
weird and terrible sight. Hastily
awakening the other men in the camp,
/ mounted horse and fed from the
flames But the horse could not keep
pace with the progress of the fire. The
lurid heavens looked as though they
were at molten heat; the air was
sitting; the smoke almost suffocated
me, while falling leaves and boughs
burned my horse, and the sickening
odor of burning flesh added to the hor-
ror. Within twotor three hours 1 was
in an opening, where was no. longer
in danger; but my horse was badly in
| Jured, while my clothing was full of
holes where embers had struck me. 1
will take my chances with cyclones or
earthquakes. but not with burning
forest again.

Wheat at 623s cents per bushel in
New York is the lowest price ever re-
corded for it in the history of the coun-
try, and this in spite of a decrease in the
yield. A few days before Cleveland's
election 7356 was recorded. At this
time there was a tremendous clamor for
a change and republican oppression"
was the battle cry with both democrats
and populists. The change has been the
other way. Now these demagogues
claim the price of wheat has nothing to
do with politics. If they are honest now
they were dishonest year ago. The
truth is that politics have wide bearing
on price, and not only wheat, but wool
attests to the fact.

THE YIDDlsH DIALECT.

A Corruption of Hebrew That Exists In
Every Community Where jews Live.
Yiddish will defy the definition of
the smartest photographer, for not
any one of these could state in a few
words what constitutes the dialect,
which is nevertheless perfectly clear
to every Jew. 1t evades definition be-
cause of its mixed nature, and because
it is a different thing according to the
latitude and longitude it inhabits
The Yiddish of Poland and Germany is
very different from that of the east
end of London, though the latter is
based in a very large measure on the
former.
In other words, says the Jewish
Chronicle, it is Influenced by its envi-
ronments, an expression of which the
evolutionists are so fond. The basis
of Hebrew words, with their ancient
demonstrations of who knows what
which have clung to them ia their
wanderings through all climes and
through the centuries, still goes on
gathering new influences day by day as
it needs them, and SO Yiddish is, like
all other languages, an ever-shifting
element, only perhaps more so. But
all this we have known for a long
time.
1t is perhaps not so generally
known, however, that this same Yid
dish in its turn exercises consider
able influence over its. neighbors and
flowers the language of the Gentiles
among whom it dwells by many tell

The report of the senate committee on
the Hawaiian mess is remarkable for
one thing-it finds good word for every
one of the Americans prominently men
toned during the long controversy about
the Sandwich Islands and Queen Lilliuo-
kalani. Neither Cleveland. Blount,
Stevens or Captain Wiltse is criticized,
and an excuse is found for Willis for any
possible indiscretion.- They have missed
both Scylla and Charybdis by some of
the most remarkable political engineer
ing ever recorded and the testimony
taken by the committee covered over
700 pages. True the republican minority
find few minor faults, such as declar-
ing the appointment Of Blount unconsti-
tutional, hauling down the flag, ETC., but
they express accord with the essential
findings of the main report. Altogether,
the matter presents a happier solution
than was even hoped for.
