German court at Gera A man who
had been suffering for some time from
toothache made up his mind to have
the tooth taken out. The stump
proved a difficult one to draw, and
when 1t was out it was of such curious
shape that the dentist declared he
would keep it as a curiosity. His
patient, however, thought he would
like to keep it himself, and claimed
it; but the dentist, on the ground
that a tooth, when drawn with the
free consent of patient, is ownerless

refused to give it up. The patient at

A Japanese mosquito catching plsr

A Japanese mosquito catching plant
was exhibited in New York City the
other day. The bare mention of such
a thing suggests infinite possibilities
to the Tribune. "The real name of
it is Vincetoxicum acuminatum, but
its name is q matter of no conse-
auence. What we should like to
know is why it has up to the present
time been blushing unseen. In the
specimen exhibited every blossom
held within its embrace mosquito,
which appeared to be fast beyond
possibility of escape. In little time
we may expect to see summer hotels
and boarding houses announcing in
flaming letters that they are fully
equipped with large fields devoted to
the cultivation of this plant. Why
Japan has concealed the treasure SO
long is q mystery.

From what we read in the papers

in believing that they were rough
and vulgar lot. gentleman just from
the West, and who has many cowboys
in his employ, surprised US not little
by assuring US that many of these men
are well-educated; that they belong
to good families, and that many of
them are not addicted to profanity or
intemperance. He also gave US the
important information that herd OF
balf.wild cattle is as timid and ner-
yous as 80 many sheep, and that the
berders. who fully understand their
neculisrities. are accustomed to soothe
them, particularly in the nighttime,
by singing. At the sudden appear
ance of any strange object, or the
sound of any unfamiliar noise, the
herd stampede, and when the cattle
get running, they are almost as diff
cult to check as mountain torrent or
A prairie fire. At such times, part OF
a cowboys duty is to ride around AMI
around the "bunch" of cattle, singing
a song--often hymn as melodiously
AZ he can. Gradually the animals are
ouieted. and come to halt, and drop
down, one by one, till at length they
are all asleep, and the weary singer
can dismount from his painting horse.

The strike situation has had a tendency to
raise prices in meatstuffs. but has not raised
the quotations, to the point expected by msny.
There is good supply of beef on hand,
enough to last for several days, and this With
local products and the small amount consumed
during the heated term has kept prices nearly
normal. Pork products feel the effect OF the
labor trouble AMI no hams have been re-
ceived from Chicago or Kansas city since the
inception OF the strike. The end is hardly
In sight, and those who have a good supply
are offering at slightly increased figures
Lambs audmutton are scare, and the market
is a trifie higherthan at last quotations. The
butter market is quiet. Movements are slight
and prices are practically stationary. Cheese
maintains Its firm tone, as do eggs. Pota-
toes are In full supply. with arrivals of the
new product in sufficient quantity to become
factor in quotations. The market ON all
sorts of fish is fairly well supplied, with quo
tatiOns about steady. Flour is dull and the
market is easy. Wheat dull and lower, and
the tradJ is paying very little attention to
-four. There is some interest in getting flour
forward, however. Quotations are not
changed. Cornmeal is quiet and unchanged.
Oatmeal is no lower. on the rather easier po-
sition of oats as whole. There are no mar
ket changes in spice and other housewife
commodities and the general trend OF the
market in other than meats and provisions is
to remain stationary. The strike, however,
may cause aserious upsettiug OF calculations,
for the local supply In many necessaries is
enough only TO carry the market ON Its pres
ent basis for few days.
