CHRONIC COFFEISM.

Some weeksbefOre his death the famous
Partisan physician, NJ Charcot, was con-
suited by Paris merchant regarding a
peculiar condition Of mind and nerves
that afflicted himself and family, and
which also seemed to be transmitted to
any new domestic who resided with the
FAMILY. The family were all extremely
irritable, SO much SO that hardly a meal
passed without some explosion and scene.
Inc least prOVOcatiOn was the signal for
an outbreak; the father would storm; the
mother would scold, and the children
would cry. A general hysteria seemed to
control the whole family The father was
afflicted with tremors and involuntary
gesticulations and was extremely irritable;
the mother was subject to sudden attacks
OF violent migraine and was terribly hy-
perestthetic-a sudden noise, a too bright
light, or any sudden impression would at
times bring on attacks of general pain;
the daughters were hypochondriacal and
hysterical; the boys were emaciated and
nervous; the youngest child, little girl
or eight years, was suffering from inco-
herent muscular movements and chorea.
In the Middle Ages the family would
have been termed bewitched, and benedic-
lions and exorcisms resorted to for their
relief, and several accused sorcerers or
witches would in all probability have end
ed their lives on the wheel, at the stake, or
by drowning in a vat.
An inquiry into the condition of the
home developed the fact that the father
was coffe manufacturer and merchant,
being extensively engaged in the roasting
and packing of coffee and in the manufac-
ture of coffee extracts and essences. The
family lived in apartments above the fac
tory and stores. and the furniture, clothing
and rooms were all impregnated with
strong coffee odor. A removal to the pure
air of the seashore and a change of habi-
tatiOn on the return greatly restored the
family.
M. Charcot diagnosed the condition as
one Of chronic coffeeism.-Daily Lancet.

day. The prices quoted are based on the
same cost of raw material that was in eff
feet last week, and millers are not inclined
to lose anything by cutting under the ac-
tual cost. Orders are not coming fast, but
still there is quite little inquiry and on
the whole really fair little trade Is doing.
The low cost of other feedstuffs and their
abundance hold the price from advancing
to profit basis while the relatively high
prices ruling in corn and oats prevent
decline. The basis of quotations is still
SO for corn meal and cracked corn. Mixed
feed is quoted at $9.25@9.75, according to
quality.
HAY-There Is no change in the condi-
ton of this product on the market. The
few cars coming sell slowly and in ped
ding way at prices ranging from $3.50 to
$3.50, according to qualiay. The quotation
for fancy upland Is purely nominal, as
none such is coming.
BARLEY-There is little interest in this
market. Sales are ranging from 1Sc to 21c,
according to quality.
FLAX-Offerings of fax are everywhere
small Receipts both local and at Chica-
go are much smaller than has been the
case all along this season, but prices do not
respond to these small supplies. The To-
cal quotation is still about 61ac under Chi
cagO price.
CORN-With futures holding steady at
Chicago there was steady market for
spot corn here. The difference between
cash anu May is widening somewhat.
Sales Of No. yellow to arrive were made
at 23c and that prices was generally OBJ
tanable for that grade on spot. No. 8
corn was salable at 221s @22Ac, according
to condition. Offerings of corn for May
delivery were quite liberal at 25%c, but
there was no demand.
OATS-There has been little money
made in buying cash oats here on the basis
of SC under Chicago May price for No 8
white oats here. Consequently there has
been widening Of the difference between
cash oats here and Chicago May. Today
buyers were taking in No. 3 white oats
and selling Chicago May against them at
3Ac difference. This held the price Of No.
3 white at Tic, both spot and to arrive.
No. oats were quoted at 16@17c, accord
ing to condition.
RYE-There is firm market for rye on
the basis Of SIC for No. l. Buyers were in
the market at that price for all offerings
to arrive. Trade. however. is narrow.

THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.

The market opened Nc lower than Sat-
urday,s close, as cables did not fully re-
epond to our advance that day. The
traders are bullish, however, and the aut-
eiders are beginning to come into the mar
ket more than they have for some time.
If it were not for the financial situation
wheat would sell a good deal higher; as it
is the advance will pribably be slow, and
followed by relapses from time to time.
The clearances were good, 403, 900 bu OF
wheat and flour from the four Atlantic
ports. Primary receipts were 501.SOO blu,
against 295,100 blu last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth received 374,100 blu Of today's
total.
The visible supply was about as expect
ed, 957 900 BIZ decrease. The total visible
Is now 1885, 900 blu, which is over 17,OOO,-
900 blu less than a year ago. Local stocks
Increase $4,000 blu, and Duluth increases
l43,500 blu. Most of the other points show
q decrease.
The worlds shipments for the week were
100000 bu. which is one and a quarter
millions less than the theoretical require
ments. The English visible decreases
1000, 900 blu, and the amount of wheat on
streets report tomorrow should show a
large decrease in the worlds stocks.
Local receipts Were A05 cars, against 242
cars for the asme day last year. The de-
mand for cash wheat of all grades was
very poor, and off grades could hardly be
given away. No. northern was freely
offered At lee under the May option, with
few buyers.

IAN attempt has been made to arrest
Mr.. Knapp, one of the hardest working
missionaries at Ellison charge of seditioil
and murder based on an accusation signed
under coercion by some Armenians who
were in jail. Mr.. Knapp appealed to
United States Minister Terrell, who learned
from Consul Hampson at Meush that the
charge was wholly unfounded and was a
mere pretext to drive Mr.. Knapp from the
country. Mr.. Terrell insists that unless
the charge is abandoned Mr.. Knapp shall
be brought here and tried before him.

ADVANTAGES or SEA POWER.
An English View of the American Navy
In the Civil War.

Spenser Wilkinson illustrates tho ex-
traordinary influence Of sea power by a
reference to the American civil war Tho
ordinary man might suppose that in civil
war, at any rate, sea power was not ma
terial factor, and that there, If anywhere,
land considerations alone decided the
struggle. Yet this was not really the case.
After showing how much the Danes were1
able to do against Germany, owing to theltf
possession of sea power, Mr.. Wilkinson
proceeds
"The second war illustrates not the help
which the command Of the sea gives to the'
weaker military power, but the terrific,
force which it adds to the stronger. 1t Is.
the American civil war The usual OK
PLANTATION Of this war Is that the north was
able to overcome the south by the SUPERIOR
numbers of its armies. But this is loss
than half the truth. The south was bcaton
because, as it had no fleet, the north conf
manded tho sea. Lee was mover beaten in
battle except when he invaded tho north
ern states In Virginia he rcpulsed every
attack made upon him until few days
before tho end. Grant and Sherman In the
west defeated Confederate armies, Grant
gaining possession in 1862 and 1868 of the
upper half of the Mississippi, and Farra-
gut with his fleet oonqucring tho lower
half.
"Tho conquest of the Mississippi cut tho
Confederacy in two and deprived the prin-
cipal eastern half of the resources of the
states west of the river. Grant then do
feated the Confederate army at Chatta-
nooga and left Sherman in 1864 to push on
into tho heart of the Confederate states, to
Atlanta, the chief railway center of the
south. The decisive blow, in military
sense, was inflicted by Sherman when he
marched from Atlanta to Savannah, and
then from Savannah right through the
seaboard states to Raleigh in North Caro-
lima.
"This great raid was possible only be-
cause Sherman was certain when he
reached the sea to find Federal fleet from
which he could draw supplies, and which
would then be q sure base for him as he
advanced northward parallel with the
coast. The decisive military blow, there
fore, depended on the fleet. Grants army,
too, was always during his campaigns
against Lee supplied by tho sea. Even
these advantages would have led to no do
cisive result had it not been for the block
ade of the Confederate coasts. AS soon as
the war began tho blockade was pro-
claimed. The Federal navy small at the
outset was rapidly increased, and by the
end of 1869 the blockade was effective
along all the 2, 400 miles Of coast from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande. By the block
ade the south was starved. London
