THE LANGUAGE Of FINGERS.
Their Silent Talk Is Important In Board Of
Trade Transactions.

Thousands of visitors who yearly go
to the board of trade and watch the
traders on the exchange floor from the
public gallery express surprise at the
rapid manner in which business is trans
acted. As rule, the wheat pit attracts
them, and they do not understand how
commodities change hands with such
lightning rapidity, and how hundreds of
thousands and millions of bushels are
bought and sold in an incredibly short
space of time is to the novice a pro-
found mystery. They do not know that
the brokers do a great deal of their work
by finger signs, seldom understood by
the outsider.
1t requires only the fraction of a Sec
ond to buy and sell 90, 900 bushels of
wheat.
TN sell so Sep at an eighth,
cries one of the brokers, and ne has
hardly finished speaking before another
ON the opposite side yells ''Sold." The
trade is put down on the trading card,
and the transaction, which involves over
$50, 900, has been completed.
The number of bushels offered for sale
is indicated by holding up one finger for
each 5, 900 bushels. go in selling so, 0no
bushels the broker simply holds up both
hands and waves them from him, which
explains itself as wanting to dispose
the lot. In addition to this, brokers
have a complete finger code by which
the condition OF the market is commu-
nicated. The signs generally used are
as follows:
The first finger held up stands foi
one-eighth Of l cent. as the traders all
know the main price. If, for instance.
the first sale of wheat after the mark
opened was made at 60 cents and the
next at 60l8 cents, the trader simply
holds up ono finger for the advance of
one-eighth of ] cent The upward posi-
ton of the finger Is to show the upward
course Of the market Should the market
be bearish and the price decline to 5938
cents, the signal for this would be a
closed hand, with the thumb pointing
downward. This shows the price seven
eighths of a cent and the status of the
market dowpvard Chicago Tribune.

The Professors Annual Joke.

Professor Josiah p. Cooke. the we'll
known head of the chemistry depart
ment at Harvard, who died recently,
had his one little joke which he perpe-
trated on the freshman class every year
with good humor Professor Cookies
lectures in chemistry were about the
only course which the whole freshman
class was required to attend in body.
At the first lecture each year, when
the two or three hundred freshmen
were gathered before him in the big
amphitheatre in Boylston Hall, Pro-
fessor Cooke would bring out a small
bottle containing an iDnocent-looking
white liquid. At a certain stage IN
the lecture, after he had touched upon
the tremendously destructive qualities
of certain chemicals, the old gentle
man would pick up the vial and hold
it out in his trembling fingers before
the view Of the whole class. Gentle
men" he would say, in a voice full OF
tremors and quavers, gentlemen, this
bottle contains a terrible explosive
II it should drop from my hands to the
floor and here bis fingers would
tremble alarmingIy-"you would be
all blown into atoms" Invariably this
speech, combined with the pathetic
trembling Of the old mans fDger,
would cause a commotion in the room,
and half dozen Of the more timid
freshmen on the front row would jump
up and fee precipitately. Prof. Cooke
would turn and look at the fleeing stu
dents, and then, with broad, genial
and knowing smile to the rest Of the
class, which would smile back at him,
he would carefully lay the vial back
in its little case, ready to be used at
the next annual joke.

Is there anything in the wide world
that gives you such a complete sense of
restful possession as your own homer
The subject of home, sweet home, has
been sung and talked about ever since
the wandering tribes of the earth ceased
to be Nomads and set up for them
selves a tent or rude hut, into which
they put all of their rude belongings
and from that moment felt more at
peace with the world.
Home does not have to be spelt with
large letters dipped in gold to empha-
size the .preeiousness of its qualities.
1t does not have to be costly mansion.
the walls of which are covered with
rare tapestries and exquisite paintings,
that is the beauty of it; it is just as
much home TO the person who calls 1t
such, if but one room answers to that
name
If the writer could only speak right
into the hearts OF every young couple
starting out hand in hand to battle
with the world, she would say make
your firm anchorage in home. Begin
to build nest as soon as you are mated.
Gather together little by little one piece
of furniture after another, one picture
at time, or even il needs must but
one fork or spoon.
A home is an incentive toward cul-
tivating all the better habits. 1t en-
courages saving, it is productive of a
finer sense of material comforts. 1t is
the shrine of a saint, the Holy Of Holes
of domestic reciprocity. To the tired,
worn-out husband what more delight
full sight than the light in his own WIN
dow. what more restful than to lie upon
his own couch and gaze about upon
the books he and his wife have collect
ed, and the pictures they have chosen
together.
The building up of home is the
making of heart history. In the days
to come, when vacant place tells OF
one who has gone beyond the home
circle. how sweet will be the memories
that cluster around the high chair he
sat in when baby, or the desk at
which he struggled with the tiresome
sums and narrowing compositions in
the school days long ago. Each piece
of furniture will have It's own store OF
recollections, and little by little as the
fitting up of the nest goes on sense
of rest and supreme content takes pos
session Of the owner when he or she
steps across the threshold Of very
own home, and knows that whatever
grudge the world may have against
them it is all shut out with the closing
of the door that leads them into the one
place where they rule supreme.

AT REST.

Shall lie down to sleep, and see no more
The splendid affiuence OF earth and SKY
The proud procession OF the stage go oy'
The white moon sway the sea and WOO the
shore;
The morning lark to the far heavens soar;
The nightingale with the soft dusk draw
nigh;
The summer roses bloom, and bud, and die
VIII life and life's delight for me be Ger?
Nay! shall be in my own silent home,
or all earth's gracious ministries aware;
Glad with the gladness OF the risen day,
Or gently sad with sadness of the gloam,
Yet done with striving and foreclosed OF
care
"At resi-at rest" what better thing 10
say?

Larry, here is an old friend OF
yours" Jim announced. Treat him
well, for he sails for Egypt tomorrow
never to return. I'll be back in a

He vanished, and there, inside the
closed door, stood Professor Chesney,
thinner, grayer, but with the old kind
ly smile on his lips that she remem-
bered so well. Startled out Of her self
possession, Larry stood with her duster
suspended over gran'ma's hundred
year-old teapot.
II sail for Egypt tomorrow, >, said
the professor, taking few steps into
the room, "and | may never return
Won you wish me Godspeed, Larry?'
Crash went grandma's priceless tea
pot in a dozen pieces on the polished
floor, and the next thing Larry knew
she was crying.
The professor approached her,
"Are you crying because l am going
away, or because you have broken the
teapot" asked the visitor.
"Both !" cried Larry, with con-
vulsive sob, which was smothered il
the folds of the professors coat, as the
arms of that "estimable gentleman
closed around her.
"How about your prophetic soul, Lar
ry?" jim asked, later on. 81 thought
