THE RISE IN WHEAT
Indications Are That Prices
 Will Soon Climb.
VARIOUS REASONS FOR ADVANCE.

Short Potato Crop In Europe Is Mostly
 Responsible For the Prediction That
 Prices Will Be onger-EngIish Farm
 CTS Are Holding on to Their Surplus.
 The Famine In India.
 NEW YoRK, Oct BOA dispatch to The World from London says aremark- able feature of the situation, one plainly indicating that higher prices are com- ing, is that the farmers in the wheat growing districts of England are firmly holding on 10 their stock, though the figures now obtainable are much higher than they had ever hoped to see again.
 The continued absence of rain in the Punjaub district and the measures now being arranged by the East Indian gov ernment to deal with possible famine seem certain to make large demands on the market next month.
 The Worlds correspondent had talk with MT. Schamaseh, the manager of the great firm of E. D. Sassoon 6 Go. of London and Bombay, the largest and most important London house in the East Indian trade It was his purchase of several cargoes of wheat for Bombay last week that caused the first decided advance ill price. He says:
 ''I consider the prospect of the mar ket excellent for some months to come, notxvjtbc+apGi,o tj,o ,,,,;1o e l.A shows downward tendency. It has now fallen to B shillings and I believe it will drop to 30, from which point it will rise steadily in healthy, sFable manner. The poor potato crop both here and on the continent must be taken into consideration as an important ele- ment in predicting the grain outlook. It Is almost certain that on this account France will become an importer, and when France begins to import prices will go up 3 or 3 shillings in week. Germany aud Hslland also have suf- fered in their potato crop, so they, too, will become importers, which will in crease the strength of the market and maintain prices at a good level.
 "As to India, the pinch of want will not be felt there for some months any way. as they have enough stock to keep them going. It cannot yet be said with certainty that they will have famine at all. Rain may come, and if it does. l the crop will be saved. Of course the stocks in India are held by speculators. who may manipulate the market. in which event we shall have exciting ! times.
 1.-The importations of wheat into h. dia has reached so far, only moderate I bought three cargoes and another firm bought one cargo for India. That is all in. As to Argentine we estimate that we shall get 4,O0o, ,ooo quarters at least from there. The reac- tion in the market is due to a state of nervousness. This reaction will prove beneficial in shaking off the weak hold. ars, when trade will begin to improve IS already explained, on a stable, healthy oasis, and prices will rise steadily. '

A "CLEAN'' SHAVE.

Some Precautions Which Might BE
Adopted for the Safety of Customer RI.
From the Medical Press.
Nothing is easier than for contagion to be
conveyed from diseased to a healthy skin
during the act Of shaving, and many cases
have now been recorded proving shat dis
eased processes have in this manner been
propagatcd. Probably the readiest manner
available to the barber for preventing such
untoward occurrences would be by steril-
izing his Instruments by means of heat,
either by steam or boiling water. Razors
should be made SO that their handles would
not suffer from the exposure to high degrees
of heat, and the rule should be enforced that
in no case should any of the Instruments
be used consecutively without having first
been submitted to the sterilizing process
Under this rule, then, eacn customer would
be sure of having clean" shave in more
senses than one. OF course also, on the
principle Of a fresh pot Of tea for each GUS
TONER" a freshly scalded-out lather pot
should be included with each shave. Unless
these or similar precautions be carried out
in BARRIERS shops, cases of the conveyance
of infectious skin diseases from customer to
customer cannot fail to occur.

HONEY AS A FOOD.
1t fs Easy of DigestfOn-DenenclaI in
Some Cases of Disease.
From the Albany

1t fs Easy of Observation-Disclosures in
Some Cases of Disease.
From the Albany Cultivator
Probably most people consider honey as
the equal in value for food Of any sweet
sauce-no better, no worse All should
know that 1t possesses one great superior
ity-ease Of digestion. The nectar OF flowers
is almost wholly cane sugar. The secre-
lions added by the bees change this to
grape sugar. and SO prepare 1t that it is
almost ready for assimilation without any
effort on the part Of the stomach; in fact
Prof. A. J. Cook once styled honey "di-
gested nectar" 1t will be readily seen that
honey Is very desirable food for those
with weakened digestive powers If a per-
son is very tired, too exhausted to eat"
1t is astonishing how a few tastes of honey
will act almost like magic. Almost no eff
fort is required to make 1t ready for as
similatfon. Persons suffering from some
forms Of kidney trouble will find that honey
is a much more beneficial food for them
than is cane sugar.
In eating comb honey, many strive to
eject every particle of wax fearing that
as wax is indigestible, nightmare and other
troublesome consequences will follow an
indulgence In warm biscuit and honey 1t
Is true that bread is more easily ligested
than warm biscuit, as the latter is in
clIned to pack" in chewing, but it may
surprise some to know that comb honey is
really an aid to the digestion Of hot bread
or biscuit. The philosophy of the matter is
that the fakes of wax prevent the pack
ing" while the honey readily dissolves out,
leaving passages for the gastric juice to
enter the mass Of food. The flakes of wax
are indigestible, that is true, but when
warmed are perfectly smooth and soft and
will not injure the most delicate membrane;
in fact, they act as a gentle stimulant,
and are beneficial in some forms of alimen-
tary difficulties. The unpleasant symptoms
from which some suffer after eating honey
may often be removed by drinking a little
milk

You Are Invited
Gas Hints From Hamilton.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your Interesting report of the gas
hearing before the House District commit
tee, printed February II, occurs this state
ment by Mr. McIlhenny:
"Ammoniacal liquor is converted into
salts OF ammonia and becomes the basis of
fertilizers If these residuals were
worth as much here as they are in the
west, for II stance, anywhere west Of the
Allegheny mountains, we would gladly re-
duce the price of gas to 81.
Cooke, tar and arpmoniacal liquor find a
poor market in Washington" He then
quotes coke at 81 and cents, coal tar at
less than cents, and says the total re-
ceipts for ammoniacal liquor for 1895 was
s., 400.
AS there were no experts present to cross
examine these astute representatives Of the
gas company, sent the report Of the hear
ing to Robert Allstatter, the expert, who
built the Hamilton. Ohio, municipal gas
works twenty-five miles north Of Cincin-
natl and as far from the coal field as
Washington is), calling his particular atten-
ton to the above statement.
He writes:
AS to ammonia liquor. we do not even
save 1t, as the price realized would not
pay for the labor. Coke brings Z cents for
uncrushed and Scents for crushed, and
coal tar Is contracted for by the year, this
years contract being ~ cents a gallon
sometimes 1t Is less. But as our works,
with the same labor now employed, could
make one-fourth more gas, and as small
works cannot make near as much money
as large works, the price of these residuals
does not cut much Of a figure
But as the price quoted by Mr.. McIlhenny
for coke does not tally with my informa-
ton as to the Washington price, inquired
Of the gas company as prospective buy
er the best price for coke, and was prompt
ly quoted cents for uncrushed and 8
cents for crushedl
AS this corresponds very closely with the
Hamilton price, and as s., 400 was received
here for ammonia liquor in the year
against nothing in Hamilton, the small
alleged difference in coal tar considering
the amount derived from the making of
1000 feet of gas, as Mr.. Allstatter says,
cuts no figure.
Mr.. Allstatter goes on in his letter to
make an interesting point on the blessing
Of cheap gas for the poor. '"Tae Hamilton
gas works is the best investment for the
poor as well as the rich people of this city
that has ever been made. It is driving out
the deadly gasoline stove from the homes Of
the poor people. 1t Is now considered to be
cheaper than the gasoline"
With such results from the small demand
incident to a city of only 1900, what
might not be accomplished under municipal
ownership of the gas supply Of Washington,
with Its $4,000 population G. M. c.

TONGUE FROZEN TO A RAIL.
A Man Out West in Great Peril and
How He Escaped.

Man Out West in Great Peril and
How He Escaped.
A Ttkura, Idaho. press dispatch says: In
crossing the railroad tracks here Robert
Thurston stumbled and fell. His tongue
struck the cold steel rail and adhered to it.
He found he could not release his tongue
without running the risk of tearing it out.
He knew train would be due in ten min
utes. Placing his hat SO that it kept his
under lip from the rail to which his tongue
was glued. he hunted for matches. Pocket
after pocket was searched in vain, and he
had almost determined to tear his tongue
from the rail, when his fingers felt a bit of
pine only an inch long.
Then he drew from his coat newspaper
and crumpled 1t, to make the largest pos
sible blaze. The rails were already echo
Ing the rumble of the fast-approaching
train. and Thurston knew that his fate
would soon be decided. '0,'-f
AS the glare OF the headlight became vis-
ible, he struck the fragment of a match
upon the rough surface of his matchbox
that he had sheltered in the folds Of the
newspaper. and saw with 10y that he held in
his hand blazing torch. This he waved
vigorously.
Then he heard the whistle of the engine.
He could tell by the decreasing pulsation
OF the rail- that his signal had been seen, and
the engineer was trying to stop the train.
1t seemed as II Thurston would yet be killed.
for the heavy train came on swiftly, despite
the use Of air-brakes and the crunching of
sand under the wheels of the engine: but, at
last, the locomotive was stopped when only
twenty feet away. and the trainmen ran
forward to help the man. This was a diff
cult matter. for his tongue was frozen to the
rail-, and extreme caution was necessary.
Boiling water from the engine was poured
upon the rails three feet from Thurs ton 8
mead on either side, and cold water was ap-
piled to the steel where 1t held his tongue.
This was continued and at last the rail
released It's grip, and Thurston was carried
fa1nting to the dining car. where mis- frozen
tongue was placed in cold water and event
ually thawed out.
Thurston, who is only twenty-five years
old, resembles man Of sixty, his hair and
mustache having turned white and his face
filled with wrinkles during the few minutes
Of his peril.

FEELING IN CHICAGO.

BallinGtOn BOOth,s Courae

DIVISION of Sentiment REGARDING
darlington Booths Course.
CHICAGO. February 26.-'If Darlington
Booth says the word there will be an
American Salvation Army" says a prom
inent divisional officer of that organization.
Thus far he has refused to do anything
looking to secession or an independent
movement. and we who are loyal to the
army hope and pray he will maintain that
position.
The feeling in Chicago is divided-there
may be said to be three divisions-one,
which doubtless is the largest, believing in
blind obedience to the will of General
Booth. regardless Of the circumstances
under which the Ballington Booths haze
felt themselves bound to leave the army:
the second. who sympathize with the de-
posed commander and his charming wife.
ana are ready to follow their leadership to
the ends OF the earth, and the third, and
the rapidly growing clement, which is dis
posed to await developments before decid-
ing as to their future course"
Continuing. the officer said: las 1t is to-
day, not a man in Chicago knows the real
season for the resignation of the COM
mander. What there is underlying all This
confusion none of US knows. We believe
That the Darlington Booths must have felt
they had a grievances serious grievance
to have acted as they have done. How far
the things which led them to so act may
affect the rights and imperil the liberties
OF individual members of the army We
don't know.
''The great religions of the world have
broadened and strengthened through revo-
luton. and 1t may be that the Salvation Ar
my, founded thirty years ago. may find 1t
necessary to change some of its forms and
methods. and that internal dissensions now
may mean a broader and a more democratic
movement than the army. under its mill
tary rules ever may become.
THAT there Is growing sen imelt in IA
vor of an American army doubtless Is true,
and the unfortunate remark OF Gen. Booth
on the occasion of his recent visit to Chi
cago has rather encouraged it. The stars
and stripes he exclaimed on one occasion.
I hear nothing but the stars and stripes,
until I am sick Of IT. Such speeches as
that are not calculated to please the Amer
lean members Of the army"
Il am for an American army. first, last

while I view the difficulties now existing
as being serious blow to the work, I be-
neve 1t will work out for good TO the great
er cause of religion. II the Ballington
Booths. after due consideration, determine
to lead another movement, not only New
York, where they are held specially dear,
will follow. but I believe the northwest d.
vision will go with them in great num-
bers"
