stronger foothold.
The truth is that local treatment and
examinations are nearly always un-

The individuals who gain livelihood
in pursuits that are strictly scientific,
are equally numerous as those who fol-
low the more humble callings. In the
list of occupation that are strictly SCI
entific is the manufacture of artificial
eggs, artificial coffee, and false dia-
mOnds. Also the industry of making
buttons, combs, penholders, and other
articles of a similar nature from blood
collected at the slaughter houses. The
man who makes billiard balls, buttons,
and rings from potatoes, which have
been treated to solution of nitric and
sulphuric acids, is also the proprietor of
an industry wherein the fundamental
principles are strictly scientific.
But the queerest of all is carried on
by two young Pennsylvanians, who are
making a regular business of extracting
poison from honey bees. According to
the accounts, they have two different
ways of collecting their crop Of venom.
In the first the bees are caught and held
with their abdomens In small glass
tubes until the poison sacs have been
emptied. In the second they are placed
in a bottle on wire netting and enraged
until the tiny drops of venom fall into
the alcohol which fills the lower third
of the bottle. This venom is said to
be sovereign remedy for cancer,
rheumatism, snake bite, and a hundred
others of the more terrible ills of HUI
manity. !.

SOME QUEER INDUSTRIES.

The st. Louis Republic has compiled
from the latest census the following
odd ways of making a living:
Occupations open to thrifty individ-
uals of both sexes have greatly increas-
ed during the last two decades, or even
since the taking of the last decennial
census In 1890.
The extraordinary progress of science
turing the time specified and the appli-
cation Of it's principles to the practical
problems of human life have not only
had the effect of greatly increasing tho
capacity for production in the trades al
ready firmly established, but have OPEN
ed hundreds of queer side alleys, which
lead direct to the avenues of trade
There are, of course, dozens of these
new and remarkable occupations with
which science does not deal even in the
remotest sense. In this class we find
the rat catcher, the skunk farmer, the
man who makes his living by picking up
lost things in depots, theaters, hotels,
etc., and returning them to their own
ers with the expectation of being re-
warded; the clock winder, the man who
collects orange and lemon peels, and
the Lake Michigan syndicate, which is
now engaged in raising black cats for
their fur. They are not raising these
cats on water, as might be inferred
from the title, but have leased an island
in the great lake, which is now plentifly
stocked with both sexes of screeching fe-
lines.
There are still others in the non-sci-
entific category Of queer occupations,
but it will only be necessary to men,
ton few. One is "rattlesnake
farmer" who lives in the Ozark noun
tains, and makes the products of his
farm bring money from three different
directions. The oil he disposes of to
druggists, who have regular customers
who believe it to be a paneca for a
hundred different ills; the skins he sells
to would be cowboys, who use them as
hat bands, and the skeletons are always
a ready sale, the purchasers being the
curators of the natural history depart
ments of the different colleges and soci-
ETY. museums. The man who wakes
people up early in the morning, the
old cork collectors, and the dog catchers

Wheat-The wheat market has been
active within narrow range during
the past week; traders euening up in
anticipation Of the holiday dizziness,
which occurs about this time and las is
until after the first Of the new year.
Stocks Of wheat at the scaboard are
small and Duluth stocks are very
large. The visible supply Is over 12,-
600, eco bushels less than it was at this
time last year. The government re-
port, issu ed Issued last week was very
bearish, but had no effect on the mar
ket, as it had already been discounted.
The market the last half OF the week
has been very strong. We strongly adj
wise purchases OF wheat on any break.
Corn and Oats-These grains have
been very dull, with lower tendency
in sympathy with wheat; lack Of spec
ulation is the principal cause for the
dullness in these markets. Both corn
and oats are low and should be
bought.
Provisions-Pork has been fairly
active within narrow range, but
holds fairly strong in the face Of the
decline in corn and wheat markets.
May pork around $500 we believe is a
good purchase.

MINNEAPOLIS CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE, Dec. 1.-THE local wheat market
opened weak and nervous this morning
because of rather discouraging cables and
large local receipts. Chicago and New York
were both weak for the same reasons.
Second cables advised Of further decline
or Ad to 12d in Liverpool This was how
ever explained, the reason given, being the
enormous worlds shipments for the past
two weeks is nearly due at importing
points causing an easy feeling as to the
wants of the immediate future. All dis
tant futures were firm and higher and still
higher prices expected later on. Black
Sea shipments for the week were reported
as 5,5Si000 bushels, which was much larger
than expected. Wheat on passage in
creased 100000 bushels. English estimates
of the Argentine surplus for export have
taken jump upwards varying from
100000 to 1,000,0 900 tons. Direct cables from
the Argentine however insist that the sur
plus will be smaller than last year. which
was not quite 500 900 tons. Clearances from
the seaboard were liberal of both wheat
and flour. Stocks now at the seaboard
are very light for the season of the year.
Chicago and Minneapolis holds nearly two
thirds of the entire visible supply. The de-
crease of 2,02S,000 bushels in the visible sup
ply for the week was another surprise to
the trade. On Saturday 1T was estimated at
nearly 100000 and this morning looked
like nearer 100000 bushels. Last year the
corresponding week, showed an increase of
5000, 0G0 bushels. Chicago advised of a bet
ter milling demand than for week or
two. New York advised Of enormous sales
of corn for export, over 1000 900 bushels
having been taken late Saturday and larger
lots being worked today. The trade gen
orally are beginning to feel bullish on nearly
everything. Higher prices are predicted
for all coarse grains and provisions. May

The Cubans to Be Recognized

On Friday the U. S. Senate, by
what was practically unanimous
vete, (but six being recorded against
in passed the resolution to recognize
the Cubans as beligerants, coupled
with the further suggestion that SPAN
be requested to recognize the indepen-
,dence of the Island The House con-
cured in the resolution yesterday
within the next day or two. Among
those who made strong speeches adj
vocating the passage Of the resolution
were Senators Lindsey, of Kentucky,
and Sherman, of Ohio. The passage
ofthe resolution is simply voicing an
almost universal statement in the
United States.
AS result of the adoption of the
resolution Sunday saw violent demon
S. strations of wrath throughout Spain .
The American consulate at BARGE
iona was attacked with stones by a
mob, which was dispersed by the po-
lice before anybody had been hurt.
In Madrid, as at Barcelona, mob OF
students and others paraded the
streets crying "Down with the Yam
KEGS" "Down with the United States"
The authorities did what they could
TO suppress the rabble, but the actions
of the Government are decidedly war
like, Orders have been given for the
enlistment of twenty-five thousand
soldiers and the equipment for imme-
diate service of every available war
ship. But Spain need not put on any
war paint. She would lie in poor
business hunting up a war with the
United States.

Hunter WithdraWs.

DR.. w. Godfrey Hunter has
withdrawn from the race for United
States Senator and gone back to
his place in Washington.
DR.. Hunter has been trying to
mislead both the Bimetallists ana
Single Standard men as to his po-
sition on the money question.
Through the newspapers he had
allowed the correspondents to quote
him as being unqualifiedly against
the silver movement. while he Sc
cretly gave the silver men the fol-
lowing pledge, which, by the way,
was never to be shown to the sim
gle standard people.
Il hereby agree that | will favor
such legislation and support such
measures as will restore silver to
the position it occupied as primary
or redemption money prior to 1873,
when it was the standard of values.
"W. G. HUNTER"
Unfortunately for the Doctor a
rumor of such a pledge got abroad
and he was forced to deny that he
had ever given such promise. Then
some mean newspaper man nosed
around till he found the pledge
and gave it publicity. The Doctor
attempted to explain that this was
not promise to vote for free silver
that he was only standing on the
Republican platform of 1892. This
explanation of the Artful Dodgei
would not 90 down, and the Doctor
Withdrew from the race. When
