Chicago Change. .

Chicago Change.
 Chicago, April 27.-The shorts in the wheat market found themselves in trouble this morning again and as the short session wore on they were plunged in deeper worry. The export sales yesterday from New York had not fully borne fruit when business was over, but on the curb they were effect ually worked, and an unofficial gain of 24c took place. This improvement was fully sustained at the opening this morning, and more was added to the price during the first hour. It was a broad market and individual operations were not appreciable Tn the excitement and uproar, although two of the heavy short sellers were believed to have covered very freely. Highr Liverpool cables at the opening and sharp advances in continental markets at the close were features of strength. More than all else In causing alarm, however, was the insufficient cy of moisture in the southwest. July wheat and closed at 64ls 17sa1sfc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was 11ac higher than yesterday.

 Oats moved very leisurely in the upward din. The motive for advancing was obtain ed from the course adopted by wheat and corn. July oats closed 1s@Ac higher than higher.

A Concatenation of Redhot Horrors End
 ing Tn Lake of Fire.
 It is mystery to enlightened western nations how the Hindoos ever managed to evolve such frightfully exaggerated idea of hell--as much of an enigma perhaps as our fantastic ideas of the internal regions will be to the more enlightened races of the coming ages.
 The Hindoos believe in plurality of hells, 136 in ala monstrous redhot ag- gregation bearing the name of "the Ma rakas. T, This gigantic apartment house, which has been especially prepared for the souls of the damned, is of unthinkable length and breadth and has walls more than 100 miles in thickness. The intense heat of the interior keeps these walls at a white heat, and through their many loop holes shines light of such intense bright ness that it bursts the eyeballs of all who look insthat direction, "even though they be removed from the fires by distance of 400 leagues"
 The I36 divisions of the grand Naraka are again grouped Into 28 superintendent cies, each in charge of an imp called the goulali, or ''soul eater It is the busi- ness of this goulali to keep his charges in perpetual dread, impressing each with the IaCU b0db dS SOOn us U6 JULIUS OuO Ol any Ol the apartments his soul may be cooked until it is sufficiently tender to make dainty morsel for the superintendent to roll under his tongue.
 As each soul is being ushered from one apartment to the other it is invariably met by Yamaki, the Hindoo Pluto, an ex aggerated devil 240 miles high, who has hairs on his body which stand out like palm trees Yamaki does not lay hands upon the tortured being that is paraded before him, but his fierce roars 'are such as to cause the poor victims skin to crack so that he leaks blood from every inch of his body"
 In each of the sS subdivisions the tor tured one is treated to something new and unique in the line of misery. In one he has his toes and finger nails plucked out and the empty sockets which formerly held his eyes filled with melted wax and then has horns inserted in the places which in other days were occupied by the organs of vision. In another he is forced to have his teeth pulled out and heated to white heat and Is then compelled to swallow them, along with large quantities of pep per cakes and boiling oil. In each divi- sion he is subj ected to some new horror until the whole round is finished, where- upon he is cast into real orthodox "lake of fire which burneth forever and ever " St. Louis Republic.

Lost Blood Replaced With Salt Water.

lIOSO OtOOu Rep1dccu :" Aeh S~ie '" oDOAs
 Dr. Wyeth, speaking at the meeting of the New York State Association of Rail- way Surgeons, strongly recommended the infection into the circulation, through a vein, of hot salt solution to take the place, in part, of the volume of blood which has been lost as a result of accident. AS re- ported by The Railway Age, he spoke as follows: "The solution which I have em- ployed, running in as much as five pints in a single operation, is composed of clean water, which has been boiled and allowed to cool to no or 120 degrees F., or just as hot as the hand can bear, to every pint of which teaspoonful of common salt is added. I have seen the pulse go from 40, in of tremendous hemorrhage, stead fly down to 70 to the minute within two minutes of the injection of pint of this solution. While it may be used cooler than 110 degrees F., and in some emergencies this may be necessary, it is safer to give it as hot as 110 to 120 degrees, because the cold solution robs the body of its heat
 while tho hot solution carries heat with it and thus adds to the maintenance of the normal temperature Tho apparatus is simple-a metal or glass pipette to go into the vein, a rubber tube three or four feet long and an irrigator bag or vessel"

UP HILL.

Does the road wind up hill all the wayf Yes, to the very end. Will the days journey take tho whole long dayP From morn to night, my friend. But is there for the night resting place, A roof for when the slow, dark hours beginf May not the darkness hide it from my faceP You cannot miss that inn. Shall meet other wayfarers at night Those who have gone before? Then must knock or call when just in sightP They will not keep you standing at that door. Shall find comfort travel sore and weakP Of labor you shall find the sum. Will there be beds for me and all who seekp Yes, beds for all who come.

The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume OF
the Week in Iron Circles.
Increased labor cost Is tho main fnctor
in calculations ms TO the immediate f,.-
ture Of the iron trade. Furnace men in
the Mahoning and Shcnnngo valleys,
who produce the bulk OF the Bessemcr
iron which goes upon the general market
have had a succession oI strikes the past
week. The Newcastle trouble was sct-
tied by giving the men nn increase. Other
valley furnaces voluntarily granted ten
cents day advance, which Mahoning
valley furnace employees accepted. Ia
the Shcnnngo valley, strikes were started
for an additional advance uf ten cents.
One furnace yielded and the prospect Is
that by the time al are running again
tho lul>or cost of n ton Of pig iron will be
from fiftccn to twenty cents higher than
IL was u week ago. The increased cost
Of making valley iron has made Besse-
MGR lirmcr and $10.25 at furnace or
$1,000 at Pittsbnrg has been refused.
Little business has been done at any fig
ure. Steel billets show little activity,
but mills are lrm in the main nc $3.50.
The week just ending has done more
than any other To convince the few re-
manning skeptics that the day OF lowest
prices Is at an end. There is no evidence
as yet that furnaces kept out Of blast by
the low prices arc preparing to resume.
