Boston Wool Market

BOSTON, Sept. 2j.-The American
Wool and Cotton reporter will say tomor-
row:
The market ruled rather q uiet in New
York, but IN Boston conyi iera Bile
strength has been shown and good mis-
celaneous sales are reported. Fine heeces
are exhibited and medium wool is be-
ginning to participat in the improve
ment of fine stocks. Every advance in
wool abroad brightens the outlook for
American manufacturers, since it makes
it more impossible for foreign manufac-
turers to deliver duplicate orders of
spring goods at present prices.
In Boston sales have been much larger
than last week. Territorial woods were a
considerable factor in the market, sales
running up to 81. 200. 900. The sales of
the week amount TO $685.. 600 pounds do
nestle and l465.000 foreign. against a
total OF 9, .53, 90 for the previous week

viii Get q Decision

AUSTIN. Tex, Sept. 25.-Suit has
been instituted in the state supreme court
by county officials for mandamus
against Comptroller Finley, compel ing
him to issue license for prize fight.
A petition for a mandamus is also pre-
pared, and the difference between this
petition and the first is that the pleadings
show that an actual demand was made
on the tax collector for license, which
he could not comply with. This brings
the question before the highest civil court
in the state. and it is believed that ii the
supreme court decides that there is no
law against prize fighting in Texas. Gov
ernor Culberson will make no interior
ence in the Corbett- Fit2simmons fight.
that prize fighting is prohibited by law,
it is believd that the governor viii use
every effort to stop it.

BOTH CLAIMED THE HORSE
Why w. r. Ahren Had to Walk Home Last

NIgnL
When W. II. Ahren came out OF the Or
pheum last night, after playing in the
orchestra, and got into his carriage to
start for home, q strange man stepped up
and said that the horse belonged to him.
Mr.. Ahren told the man VINO he was and
gave HIM his address. The other 50 Id
very well, sthat he would call and see Mr..
Ahren today. From the bystanders it
was learned that the mans name was
Rawson and he had been waiting around
for long time before Mr.. Anren came
out trying to learn who claimed the out
fit.
Mr.. Ahren then drove to Court street
and wenG INTO resort with some friends.
and when he returned it was to find that
the horse and carriage were gone. Ii 9 at
once reported the affair to the police.
Mr.. Ahren stated that he had gotten the
horse from Rudolph Studick with the un-
desrtanding that he would not sci! 1T and
would provide feed, which he had done.
In all probability Mr.. Rawson, or who
ever it was who took the rig. thought
that the outfit had been taken from Mr..
Studick by mistake and did not propose
to take any chances, so drove away.

THE MAGNETIC srRoMsTADTs.

They Drank Iron Water and Were
M6gnetized by Lightning.
a remarkable story comes from the up
per Yakima. Two years ago Mr. Peter
Stromstadt located piece of land near
what is now known as Borax Spriags,
his family, consisting Of his wife and
two children, Us the Tacoma Daily News.
few days after his settlement Mr.. Strom-
stadt discovered a spring close to the
shack be had erected. the water OF which
was strongly impregnated with iron, but
not unpalatable. Mr. Stromstadt dug out
and deepened the spring, and since July,
1898, the family has used the water for
all domestic purposes.
On the night of April q heavy electrical
storm passed over the Cascades, accom-
paniedby vivid displays of lightning. The
following morning Mrs. Stromstadt, while
kindling the fire in the stove, found it
almost impossible to separate the stove
litter from her hand. Her husband, hearing
her scream. ran to her assistance, when, to
his surprise, he found that he, too. ex-
perienced great difficulty in detachng
any article of iron with which his hands
came in contact. Breakfast was finally
prepared and the family sat down to the
meal.
The children two girls of five and seven
years, drank their milk from tin cups and,
upon raising the cups to their lips, found
themselves unable 70 detach the cups
from their mouths. Mr. Stromstadt who
is an intelligent immigrant from Sweden,
was nonplussad. and while unable to ac-
count for the wonderful occurrence, never
theless laughed at mis- wife's excited
declarations that the family were be-
witched. Mr.. Stromstadt has written a
friend in town. He says that the small
bed on which the children sleep is upon
roller casters, and that in the morning
the bed is invariably pointing north and
south, the bed being a lstle TO the east
of north.
The case is one of the most remarkable
on record. A member of the Academy of
Sciences, to whom the circumstances were
related, states that the Stromstadt family
has become saturated with iron, which
was rendered magnetic by the passage of

Then for the legs: Gently raise the body
on the toes to sink very deliberately, just
resting on the heel each time-up down,

creasing the arch OF the instep. l have seen
insteps made to order by it. At first one
feels the muscles of the calf Of the leg
drawing enormously and painfully; that is
all right. 1t merely indicates that those
muscles have been unused. If persisted in

and one soon feels the feet grasping the

THE D1v1s1B1L1TY OF TIME.
Calculations That Are Entirely b
yond Our Conception.

Calculations That Are Entirely Be-
yond Our Conception.
Napoleon, who knew the value OF time, re
marked that it was the quarter-hours that
won battles, says Good Words. The value
of minutes has often been recognized and
any one watching a railway clerk handing
out tickets and change during the last few
minutes available must have beenstruck with
how much could be done IN those short por-
tons of time.
At the appointed hour the train starts
and by and by is carrying passengers at the
rate or sixty miles an hour. In second you
are carried twenty mine yards. In one
twenty of & second you pass over one
yard. Now, one yard is quite an appreciable
distance. but one-twenty-ninth of a second
is period which cannot be appreciated.
Yet it is when we come to planetary and
stellar motions that the notion OF the infinite
divisibility of time dawns upon us in a
new light. 1t would seem that no portion OF
time, however microscopic, is unavailable.
Nature can perform prodigieS, not certainly
in less than no time but in portions of it so
minute as to be altogether inconceivable.
The earth revolves on her axis in twenty
four hours. At the equator her circum-
ference is 25 900 miles. Hence, in that part
of the earth q person is being carried east
ward at the rate of 500 yards per second.
That is, he is moving over a yard whose
length is conceivable in the period of one
ive-hundredth-and-nint part OF a second, of
which we can have no conception at all.
But. more, the orbitai motion of the earth
around the sun causes the former to perform
a revolution of nearly 500, 100000 miles in
a year, or somewhat less than 30, 600 miles
an hour, which is moro than 1000 miles a
minute. Here, then, our second carries US
the long distance of about nineteen miles.
The mighty ball thus flies about mile in
the nineteenth part of a second.

over the head, then out, and with this
energy trans ferred to the torso, bend gently
and slowly back. AS the muscles of the
back grow stronger throw alternately each
leg backward and bend the spinal column
very deliberately back, as the ballet girls
are taught to do, always avoiding ex-
tremes. Then with a forward movement
of arms and torso relax entirely, let both
fall forward of their own weight. The
rest from tension with the body in this
position gives delicious sensation of COM
plete rest.
