Chicago Wheat Market.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Wheat showed
some indications of strength this morn
ing, the opening prices for December
being half cent in advance. The in
fluential factor was Liverpool cable.
The reports from that market conAicted
somewhat, but generally showed slight
advance, which hardly was expected in
view of the sharp decline yesterday. On
the other hand northwest receipts were
again heavy. Trading was limited,
traders showing an inclination to carry
but few lines over the election. De-
cember opened at 6oA and after selling
momentarily at 69A declined to 69; then
a reaction took place carrying the price
up to oo SIS.

Mother Goose.

Mother Goose was a real character,
and not an imaginary parsonage, as
some people suppose. Her maiden name
was Elizabeth Foster, and she was born
in the year 1905 in the colony of Massa-
chusetts Bay. She married Isaac Goose
in the year 1893, and few years later
became a member of the Old South
church, Boston. The first edition of
her melodies, which was originally sung
to her grandchildren, was published at
Boston in I7I6 by her son-in-law, Thomas
Fleet. Mother Goose died in 1857.

A writer in an English periodical
writes interestingly of "social func-
ton" that may be seen nowhere outside
of London. He says:
Journeying through some of the dark.
est corners of the East End of London
with a friend intimately associated
with rescue work, my attention was
drawn to some curious signs recorded
with chalk on several street corners.
"What do they mean?" l ask.
The signs are an intimation that a
well-know burglar or criminal has
been released from long incarceration"
my friend replied, "and a scrimp of
happy gathering is about to occur. The
signs are quite easy to read, the inter
pertation of those on the wall being "a
welcome to a happy dog at 9 o'clock to-
night at the ola quarters. All friends
cone"
The signs vary according to the clique
but are perfectly ineligible to the peo-
pie. they are intended to reach. Severa
publicans set off special rooms for these
scrimp gatherings. There the ex-con-
Wet meets his friends, spends his good
conduct money and is provided for. He

relatives of the prisoners, and if ne de

OF ldtd7unken, depraved people. BY
ordinary observers it would be looked

table to himself, and he sits by it re
ceiving the attention of his friends.
Over the scrimp table many desperate
alliances are formed. Should the eX-
criminal be a man noted for high-class,
dangerous work, a man who scorns
paltry jobs and goes in for big hauls,
fences bid for his custom and he has
many offers of partnership from men
who want atrue pal.

The Most Explosive Substance Know

The Most Explosive Substance Known.
The most explosive substance so far
discovered is chloride of nitrogen, which
properly consists of three parts of chic
ride, united with one of nitrogen. It's
terrible explosive character, which has
so far prevented its accurate analysis, is
due to the fact that it is a combination
of one of the most active with one of
the most inert elements of nature.
