CHICAGO MARKETS.
board of Trade.

Chicago. March 1s.-Wheat showed de-
cided strength during most of the session.
and there was a good degree of activity
in the trading. The news generally IA
vored better prices, and there was good
deal OF uneasiness among the shorts and
more disposition to buy for the long &C
count while the offerings were light. The
opening prices, though showing no change.
were barely steady. This was due pri9-
cipally to the disappointing cables, which
were quoted only I'D higher, in face of
the &c advance here yesterday. But the
effect OF this did not last long. Som =
thing approaching the severity OF cold
weather was predicted for the Southwest
by the signal bureau, and that was mat
ter of apprehension TO those who were
short The decline in English corsois,
showing apprehension in Europe over the
political situation. was factor" in the
strength which begin 10 develop, and IN
fact, its influence was felt nearly all
through the session. The strength was in
consequence Of falling prices and rumor of
export business yesterday and more re-
ported today. The main. strength of the
day, however, was active covering by me
short interest. which had become large
during the last few days.
Cora showed more activity than Of late.
and ruled firm, influenced largely hy
wheat, though small local receipts and
strong cables also en-; some figure.
Oats were firm and mo-e 3ctive.
Provisions had ra Their hard time If IL.
Hog receipts were large, which caused
a weak ercn;ng. The shorts pounded the
market all day, closing prices being the
loves, of the day.

Miss Mary, Detroit.

You have the zodiacal sign Sagit-
tarius, which Jupiter rules, rising a.
your birth, and therefore Jupiter is
your ruling planet or significator. Sag
ittarius usually denotes person above
medium height: we'll proportioned
and commanding figure; the complex
ion clear and healthy; the hair near a
chestnut color growing thin and form
ing a notch above the temples; the
forehead is full and broad; the eyes eX-
pressive; the laugh is loud, merry and
cheerful; you ere jovial, happy, gener-
Gus and charitable; you are kind to an
imals and fond Of fine horse; you are
not as conservative as you should be
and are liable to get into too large
deals; you are a natural leader and
have plenty Of courage to carry any
scheme through that you know is legit-
innate; you always have a certain kind
of good luck that does not seem to
come to others; you may apparently be
or the brink of a financial precipice
and just ready to tumble over, yet
something viii turn in your favor and
pull you through all right.

dered into a loveless connection with

cenary mortals? Outwardly we must

Then, shaking off the spell, she would
loathe herself for the vile suggestions,
and pray, in a blind, heathenish way,
to Him who had sent her pain, to sus-
tain her under it, to keep her from
railing into the fouler mire of open de-
fiance of her husbands claims upon
her realty in word and act. to hold
her fast to the semblance of right and
honor
Parting from Edward at the outer
entrance with brief phrase of thanks
for MS Kindness in accompanying her,
she ran up to her husbands room and
opened the door without knocking. a
gentleman, whom she recognized as
prominent city lawyer, stood by the
lounge with paper in his hand. Two
young men, apparently clerks, were
withdrawn little into the background
and a table bearing writing materials
W2s between them and the others.
You acknowledge this instrument to
be your latest will and testament, and
in token thereof, have set hereto your
signature and seal?" the lawyer was
saying as the door swung noiselessly
aJar, and Constance stopped, unable to
advance or retreat.
Mr.. Withers glanced around when he
had given his assent. Come in, my
dear" he said quietly. I'VE shall soon

Paul c.. Chicago.

You have the zodiacal sign Taurus,
which Venus rules, rising at your birth,
and therefore Venus is your ruling
planet or signifcator. The sign Taurus
usually denotes a person with short,
but full, strong and well-set stature;
broad forehead; dark, curly hair; dark
complexion: broad full chest and
shoulders; short thick neck; wide nose;
full, pouting lips; you will have a
habit of shaking your head sideways
when talking earnestly. You are very
quiet, peaceab.e and patient in your
disposition, have great love for the
beautiful in art and nature; you are
very fond of the fine arts, such as
music, painting, drawing, sketching,
etc. You are fond of good living and
generally manage to get it; you are
subject to attacks of the blues without
any apparent good cause. You seldom
lose control of your temper, yet when
you do you become furious. You dis
like to change your business or loca-
tion and have great love for home and
its pleasant surroundings.

He did not mean TO be unkind or sell
flsh. He believed his health TO be OF

that the recollection of this would set
her to rights The experiment succeed

1t was inevitable that the confession
she had meditated. while he told her of
MS arrangements for her future, be-.
traylng with child's artlessness the
perfectness of his trust in his brother
and in herself, the full outflow of pen
ltence, and depreciation. and entreaty
for pardon, of which the tears were
but the type and premonition, should
be checked by the querulous reference
to his personal discomfort But the sud
den and disagreeable reaction induced
by it was hardly an excuse for the hard
enlng OF her heart and dulling of the
sensibllities, just now so tender, which
tLed her mind with sullen resentment
against him who had repelled her con-
f1dence. "He will never understand

water" she excused this by thinking.

And thus slipped by the fairest chance
CT reconciliation and real union that
was ever offered the ill-assorted pair.
With Mr.. Withers returning strength
everything seemed to fall back into the
old train. Except that invitations were
less frequent as the season waned. and
that Edward and Constance passed
fewer evenings abroad and more at
nome, that Mr.. Withers rode to his
Office every morning and returned at
noon. to spend the rest of the day upon
the sofa in the library exchanging his
after dinner for an easy chair in the
parior, the mode of life in the house
mold varied in no important respect

Most Remarkable Canal

The most remarkable canal in the
world is the one between Worsley and
st. Helens, in the North of England.
1t is sixteen miles long and under
ground from end to end. In Lancashire
the coal mines are very extensive. half
the country being undermined. MANY
years ago the managers of the Duke of
Bridgewater's estates thought they
could save money by transporting the
coal underground instead of on the sur
face; therefore the canal was construct
ed and the mines connected and drain
ed at the same time. Ordinary canal
boats are used, the power being fur
nished by men. The tunnel arch over
the canal is provided with cross pieces,
and the men who do the work of pro-
pulsion lie on their backs on the loads
of coal, and push with their feet
against the cross bars of the roof.
