LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Business Of the Past Week Fairly
Satisfactory in All Lines of Trade.

Though there has not been a large
amount of business done in the week clos
ing Saturday. il cannot be said there was
any disappointment. for not much was ex-
pected. In fact, the volume of trade was
rather above than below expectations In
dry goods there less done than in
other lines. Prices, however, are holding
steady. Grocers say they have nothing to
complain OF. Changes have been very few
in quotations. Coffees and sugars are
higher by fraction than week ago. but
in other staples no change is noted. The
drug trade is quiet. but complaint of
dullness is made Leather dealers report
the business of moderate proportions, with
the bulk of the trade in betting. ON Com
ness dong throughout the week; RECEIPTS
OF all kinds Of vegetables and fruits liberal,
with demand fully equal 10 the supply.
In the main quotations have ruled very
steady. Apples are coming in more freely,
but prices have not yet fallen. Pota-
toes are still rather scarce. There has
been change during the week in the
poultry. butter and egg market. and bust
ness In that line has beer rather quiet.
The grain market continues fiat. The
attendance on Change is small and the
bidding spiritless. Yesterday Saturday

FIRST STRIKE ON RECORD.
Roman Flute Players, ID. &. 300, Re-
scented Exclusion from n Banquet.

Livy, in his famous book, The Annals,
TX. 80, relates in the following suggestive
words the story of a singular strike which
occurred at Rome in the year 800 Il. c., and
was probably the first strike ever known:
That year occurred an event little worthy
of being related and which l would pass
in silence had it not appeared as involving
religion. The flute players, dissatisfied be-
cause the latest cenSOrS had forbidden
them to take part in the banquet in Jupi-
ter's Temple, according TO the ancient Gus
tom, withdrew, every one of them to
Thur, that nobody was left at Rome
TO play during the sacrifices. This Incl
the Senate, and the Senators sent meSsen-
gers TO invite the inhabitants of Thur TO
make every effort in order that the players
should be restored TO the Romans The
Tiburtines having promised not to neglect
anything necessary for that purpose,
caused the flute players 10 come TO the
place where the Senate met and eXhorted
them to go back to Rome. Seeing that they
could not prevail upon them to do so, they
their character. On a day of festival, UNI
der the preteXt that music would increase
the joy OF the feast, every citizen invited
the flute players individually to his house,
and wine, of which people of that profess
sion are usually fond. was given TO them
in such quantities that they fell into a
deep sleep. They were then thrown into
wagons and transported to Rome. They
only became aware of what had happened
on the day after. when dawn surprised
them lying on the carts. which had been
sembled and they were induced TO promise
that they would remain at Rome The right
of attending the banquetS was restored
TO these flute players.

Health
Fatness and slimness come hv natn

Fatness and slimness come by nature.
and are. therefore, often impossible of
remedy; for ii is of use, and il is utter
folly besides to fight against ones consti-
tuition. You can affect that constitution to
n certain extent (Which won't please either
the too fat or the too slim folks you can
only do harm, defeat the very object you
try for, and, worst of all. throw yourself
into i'll health. 1t stands to reason that II
man or woman comes of a big-boned,
stoutly built stock he or she may reason
ably be expected to inherit the tendency 70
corpulence. Conversely, suppose a man is
born of a family stock notable for its
thinneSS and slimneSs, it may be, and gen.
orally is, worse than folly for him TO ex-
pect, by any process of feeding or other
wise, TO become a stout and well-favored
person.

constitution first Of all, and as sensible
people, to see and discover whether our fat
ness our thinness is part and parcel Of
our natural build. Rest assured IL We are
fat by nature ii is useless to attempt by
very slim proportions. Many a man and
woman has paid the penalty of such rash
ness by inducing disease through their out
rageoCS efforts to thwart nature. Let us
be sensible, then, about this "fatness''
question and see clearly where, as ra-

be possible to fatten up a thin person
(within limits again by regulated course
of food. Whatever you may do in the way
of thinning or fattening you can never
safely or (what is more to the purpose)
permanently attain your aim by the use
of drugs. If there is any cure for fairness
at all be sure it is TO be found in the food
and in the food alone.

FEMININE PHASES.
Masculine study of Woman will,
Resulting Thoughts.
Thomas s Jarvis. in Lppincott.

Thomas :. Jarvis, In Lippincott.
No doubt il Adam who first said,
We'll, could anybody understand
woman Several men have since made
similar reference to feminine changeable-
ness. Indeed, few have escaped the idea
that life would be smoother if womens
ways could be predicted with some de-
gree of certainty-even if only that of
meteorological bureau.
1t has been said that mans best study
is man. but his most frequent study, not
always scientific. is woman. He is gen.
orally convinced that If woman knew her
self she would not tell. But perhaps his
greatest difficulty in understanding her is
because she herself cannot help him much
even when endeavoring 10 do so.
So far noveliSts have only depicted the
thoughts, feelings, actions and speech of
women without suggesting anything that
might better interpret them as an en-
tirety to perpleXed man and give him
more of bird s-eye view.
Is this possible? Does it not seem that
women were studied, not by their mentali-
ties but by their phases? For woman
differs from a man in being nearly always
in a phaSe-the religious phase, the mater
nal phase. the moral, the irritable. the
revengeful, the love phase or others which
control and possess her so completely for
the time thar while she may continue her
daily occupations and appear a free agent
she IS really gravitating in one direction
and is in a condition that makes opposing
argument or advice tiresome.
To seek to understand women by study
ing only their thoughts, actions and speech
Is like seeking to understand a watch by
merely observing the movements of its
