HOP INTELLIGENCE.

There is still a fair business doing
in the way of deliveries to brewers on
previous purchases, and some new
deals have been made with exporters,
but the general demand at the moment
is very quiet and the market lacks a
little of the buoyancy noted a week
or two ago. AS a rule holders seem
to feel some confidence in the position
and are carrying stocks on a steady
basis of value; here and there a little
pressure is shown on medium and
under grades, and in order to effect
sales buyers are given some favors.
Rather more of the stock here, both
state and Pacific coast, can be bought
at 7@9c, and really prime lots are
offering at Zoe. Possibly long fancy
growth-fayorably known-might still
sell little above our top figure, but
we have not heard of any recent sales.
even to brewers, at over lie, and any
higher quotation would certainly be
misleading. Yearlings find a moder-
ate outlet in range of 3ha6c, latter
very exceptional. Old olds in small
stock and but few wanted. Most of
the country markets are quiet, and
the reported sales are at slightly re-
duced prices except for a few very
choice growths. Nothing of special

OUT OF AN OLD BOOK.

"And out of old bookes, in good
faithe," said Godfrey Chaucer, "com-
eth all this new science that men
lere." Yet also out of the old books
comes the discarded science at which
men jeer. There is great refreShment
in coming upon an old book, too hum
bic for a classic, and finding in it the

putable theories Of a previous day,
whose wisdom is being eagerly re-
futed in our present. In 1884 some in
spired Philadelphia wrote "a Young
Ladies' Own Book;;' in it he warns
his readers, his delicate, retiring
young Persons" against indiscrimi-
reading what most ought to engage
your attention are works of sentiment
and morals. Morals is that study in
which alone both sexes have an equal
interest, and in sentiment yours has
even the advantage. The works of
this kind often appear under the re-
ducing form of novel and romance
here great care and the advice of your
older friends are requisite in the Sc
lection"
And he further advises them
staunchly: "The mere suspicion OF
irreligion lowers woman in genera.
esteem. 1t implies almost reflection
on her character, for morality cannot
be secure without religion. A woman
must hold no converse with the enc

upon her table; nor must she be sup.

railroad After that his work is that
of an organizer, the commander of
an Industrial army. Great railway
lines are built on paper at his desk
perhaps years before they appear upon
the surface of the earth. The general
contractor seldom visits the actual
scene of operations, perhaps not more
than once month, and then gives no
orders. He rides over the line with
his engineer, making a suggestion

land 1 long to be at the front. There
will be no scarcity Of labor next year,
in my opinion. The exodus Of Italians
to Europe has not seriously drained
the country of railway laborers, AID
when the men are needed they can be
had, unless, indeed, there should be a
sudden revival of railway building in
many directions, as there was in 1879.
But that is not likely to happen. The
fact is that there are few more long
railway lines possible in this country,
at least for some time to come. The
East is pretty well gridironed, and
much of the South has its trunk lines.
Arkansas needs more railroads, and
so does Texas. Perhaps part of the
extreme Northwest needs more lines
though a good deal of that country is
likely to have any time soon a single
new line 500 miles long. By the way
do you know that the worlds greatest
feat of railway building was the push
ing through of 500 miles Of Canadian
line between December and May:
The contractor laid nine miles OF
track day, and one and a half miles
is regarded as good work. Western
contractors hustle more than Eastern
men. I once deliberately planned tt
rush through in four months an East
ern line for which the contract time
would have been six months, and tt
sacrifice $4,000 or $4,000 of profit
to do it, just for the purpose of max
ing a reputation this side of the Ohio
and showing what could be done
The company, however, abandoned
the scheme, and I was not forced tt
make the sacrifice"

THE MORMON CANAAN.

1t was a strange fate or destiny, or
was it providence that led Brigham
Young and his peculiar people to Salt
Lake valley, Utah, region so similar
to the "land of promise of the Israel
of old? There the lake of Gennesaret,
or sea of Galilee, was fresh water
filed with fish, where the prophets of
old dipped their nets. The Jordan
river flowed out of it and emptied
into the Dead sea, which is SO salt and
acrid that no living thing is found in
it's waters. Here Provo. or Utah lake,
is fresh and sweet, and in its waters
swarm the speckled trout and other
fish as savOry as those that strained
the nets Of Peter, James and John.
Out of this fresh water lake flows the
Mormon river of Jordan, and after
rambling through one of the most fer
tile and beautiful valleys in America
it emDtieS into the Great Salt lake.
which surpasSeS even the Dead sea in
the density of its waters, in which no
living thing is found. In the prom
ised land of Israel the Jordan flows
from north to south, while in the
promised land of the Mormons the
Jordan flows from south to north.

over the ancient Gland flowing with

ing industry has made Il fairer Canaan

A MOONS GREW SOME SPELL.
An Ger True Tale of Fearful Happen

An Ger True Tale of Fearful Happen
ings Out in Indiana.
Greensburg, Ind, Dec. 26th.-For
some time past Il large green moon
has been visible to the citizens of
Greensburg. 1t can be seen between
the hours of 10 and II at night. and
is the cause of no little excitement.
1t brings back to the memory of the
citizens a huge green moon several
years ago similar in appearance,
which could be seen about midnight
hanging, apparently, over the Johnson
sawmill in the south part of the city.
The strange phenomenon kept dang
ling back and forth high in the sky,
and seemed to be anchored to the mill
shed by large Illuminated rope 1t
was horror to all who saw it.
Finally two boys, John Thompson and
Willie Turner. who We're known for
| their daring, decided to investigate the
matter.
| They went together. climbed upon
the shed, and at the same time they
both laid hold of the rope. They fell
directly, as if paralyzed. and were
found unconscious on the roof the
next morning. When they gained
consciousness it was discovered that
| the hair ON the right side of Turner $
head, which was naturally black, had
turned green, and that on the left side
of ThOmpson's head had turned fiery
red, was hot and sparks would fly
from it when touched. Every twelve
hours the color of the hair would
| change, being vice versI-first Tur-
ner's red, Thorn pson's green, then
Thompson's red and Turner's green.
The boys became a wonder to every
| body. Scientists from Indianapolis
| Cincinnati. and several other large
cities came here and examined the
boys, and pronounced the strange Oc-
currence as phenomenal and some
thing which had never occurred be-
| fore.
But one night an angel of light ap-
peared unto the boys and bade them
to again go to the mill shed and touch
the rope. They both arose from their
beds, and at the same time. in their
sleep, went to the mill. climbed the
shed together. and at exactly the same
| time they both took hold of the rope
They instantly awoke and felt very
curious and foolish at finding where
they We're. Upon touching the rope
their hair Immediately changed to its
natural color and they went home
sound in both mind and body-Chi-

MONEY IN CIRCULATION.

A false claim is that there is a
scarcity of money in circulation at
the present time. The truth of this
statement as regards certain individ-
uals cannot be denied, and it is from
them that the loudest howl for free
coinage comes. They are mistaken.
however, in their idea that this would
bring the desired relief. An acquisi-

That this money is not now perform
ing it's service to the people as it
ought is also fact, but it is because
the opportunities for it's safe and pro-
fitable investment are scarce, owing
to the general disquietude that has
pervaded the country since 1892. Once
let business confidence return, and the
cry for free coinage and an increased
circulation will disappear as if by
magic. Among the great commercial
nations Of today, France alone ex-

United States about 95 per cent of
commercial transactions are carried
on by the use of checks and drafts.
