The Number Thirteen.

The superstition that thirteen is un-
lucky, which is traced back to a sacred
source, meets with as many contradic-
tlons as combinations. The fact that
the horrible fire in the Paris bazaar
started at booth thirteen was tele-
graphed all around the world, wher cas-
little notice is attracted by Nansen's s
success with thirteen men, At one
time two was dreaded number in Eng
land, owing to the dynastic disasters to
all monarchs second of their name from
Ethelred II. to George IL Yet Napo-
Icons number through all his life was
two, and who could wish for better luck
than came to Goody Two Shoes, or than
that which results at times from hav-
ing two strings to your bow? Three,
which since the days of Pythagoras has
been the divine number, shows that it
is not invariably fortunate, for, though
the fates are three, so also are the fu-
ries. The graces are three. but so also
are the judges in hades and the heads
of Cerberus. Then there are the rec
ords of three disloyal tribes in Welsh
history; there are the three robbers in
Orion's belt: there We're the three ~
rants at Athens, and three in myth
ology is as unlucky as it is divine. Just
so clearly as it has been shown in time
that the unlucky two can be lucky an1
that the pleasant three can be unpleas-
ant, the followers of the late Captain
Fowler would show that the unlucky
thirteen can be the luckiest number
there is. So we may as we'll regret his
departure, while we wish success to his
associa ates.-Boston Journal.

CANADA AND UNCLE SAM
The Story They Are Telling ON the
Other Side of the Line.

Writer in the Toronto Printer and
Publisher" commenting on the ten
dency of some of our United States
cousins to indulge in tall talk" recalls
an incident that occurred in Montreal
at the time that the press Of the United
States was threatening that the So
o0o,ooo awarded to Canada by the Hal
flax arbitration would not be paid
Lord Dufferin had just got back from
visit to Washington. There had
been objections raised in Congress to
paying the money. Lord Dufferin saw
that a joke would relieve the strain.
He looked round the large banqueting
hall of the Windsor Hotel and remark
ed, with pretended solemnity: "No, gen.
tlemen, l have not brought it back in
my pocket. Our So, 5,500.00 of fish mon
ey was not handed to me across the
counter by the President" He went
on TO say that he never even looked az
If he wanted it, so convinced was he
that all was right. In fact. he had
heard that General Ben Butler and
others We're going to move that the
furniture in the Congressional build
lhgs shouid De pawned rather than that
the states should remain in Canada s
debt an hour longer than was necessa
ry. He had not mentioned the matter
to the Secretary of State, but diplo-
matists had their own way of settling
these things. They did not dispute like
washwomen over tub. A nod, a wink.
meant great deal The Secretary of
State had maintained a pregnant si-
lence and" said Lord Dufferin. "as
speech is silver and silence is golden.
I knew from the Secretary's silence that
he was not only going to pay up like a
man. but pay up in gold like a gentle
man"
When this speech was telegraphed
to the United States press there was
a roar of laughter from one end of tha
Republic to the other The pettinesS
of the dispute was recognized. and the
money was paid over in a few weeks

EASTERN GRAIN MARKET.
WHEAT RATHER DULL ON THE
CHICAGO EXCHANGE.
May Opens Strong on Foreign Ad-
vices, but Closes at a Decline
Receipts and Clearances.

CHICAGO, Nov 15.-For the first
two hours trading in wheat the mar
ket was an unstable one, with a range
for May from 90aasc to S9a4c Opening
strong at 903s@901ac, as against Sat
urdays closing price of soc, May sold
for an instant at 903sc, the highest
price of the day, then declined under
the only really heavy selling which
took place during the session to s9aic.
1t rose again to 901ac, but by 80 had
declined to S934c.
| The chief reason for the strength at
the start was that Liverpool was 14d
higher following the drop in price at
the end of the week here There were
some other reasons, however, that had
more or less TO do with it, The Weather
Bureau predicted an unfavorable
change. Since Saturday it had been
moist and mild. and generally about as
hopeful TO a weak plant as could De
wished for at this season of the year,
but the thermometer in the extreme
north marked 10 degrees below zero
this morning, and considerable de-
crease from recently comparatively
high temperatures in the winter wheat
country was the prediction for to-
night.
The London Times estimated the
damage by frost to the Argentine crop
at 10 per cent.
The receipts in the Northwest gave
some indications of feeling the effects
of smaller deliveries from farmers.
Minneapolis, compared with the Mon
day previous, had 353 carloads less The
days receipts at Minneapolis and Du-
luth We're 1866, against 163S the Mon
day preceding, and 1,259 the CORE
spending day Of 1896 Chicago e
ceipts l13 cars, against 80 last year,
but in addition to rail receipts was
cargo OF 10000 bushels by lake. The
total receipts at Western ports We're
141 ,000 bushels, against / 1,023, 600 bush
els a year ago.
Atlantic port clearances We're 322
00O,OUO bushels in wheat and -four The
quantity of wheat on ocean passage
was increased 100000 bushels. and the
shipments from all sources to Europe
last week We're 9,261 900 bushels,
against 9.241 600 bushels the previous
week. This latter item had a good
deal to do in causing the selling which
resulted in the decline after the open
ing. The visibly supply statement was
an additional source of weakness 1t
showed an increase of 921 900 bushels.
During the latter part of the session
trading was very dull, though prices
showed more steadineSS Liverpool

News" predicted an immediate falling
off in Russian shipments as the result
of ice. The strength with which De-
cember was maintained gave the mar
ket much needed support at times. May

lieutenant governor, concluding he
might have been wrong in resuming the
chair, before the appeal from his de-

agreed to let things proceed in the reg
