DECEMBER WHEAT SOLD IN thl-
CAGo RECENTLY AT 81. 1t is 7 cents
lower to-day.
Wheat should be a purchase, Tor 1t Is
long since so poor crop has been har-
vested abroad. Countries which usually
export will import. Argentina, our Sc
rious competitor, is out Of the market
Russia, our greatest competitor, has less
wheat than usual. The crop in the valley
of the Danube failed. We are masters
OF the situation.
Conservative estimates Of European
needs increase, while estimates Of our
crop decrease.
In 1891 prices were high because of for
elgn demand. Our crop promises to be
100, 100000 less than then. The worlds re-
auIrements are greater; our shipments are
as large; our stocks smaller.
1t is probable that during the next six
weeks we will ship daily nearly million
bushels.
Wheat Is cheap IL this proves true.

TERRIERS HARD TO DOSE.
Doctor Would Rather Treat . BuIldoa
Than One Of Them.

"Give me any dog to treat but fox ter
rier," said Dr. Rudolph b. Plageman, the
canine specialist, the other day. "They
not only are getting into trouble all the
time, but they are harder to get out of it
than all the other dogs combined. They
are so quick and why and nervous that it
is almost impossible to perform any surgic-
al operation on them, and even when you
think you have got them where they can
do no harm they will wriggle and squirm
around until, the first thing you know,
they have your hand or arm between their
teeth and before they let go you know
that they have been there l had rather
set broken leg for a bulldog or mastiff
than treat one of those terriers for indiges-
ton, complaint, by the wey, which sell
dom troubles them.
"The best dogs to treat In sickness or
for an accident are the French poOdles.
They are wiser in the first place than most
men, and they have both the sand and the
sense to submit to treatment without
making row about 1t.
Next to the poodle, / consider the Irish
terrier the most tractable. He is, to be
sure of much the same temperament as
the fox terrier but he Is more kindly dis
posed and is not continually looking upon
you rs an enemy.
Speaking of fox terriers, it Is curious
thing how the styles in them have changed
in the last few years. 1t is not so long age
that the fat, broad skull, with the ears
lying closely against it, was the only per
MISSILE thing. Now prize winner ha;
a skull round and narrow, with cars droop
ing down to the side Of it. And the coat
Is all different now. Instead OF being
comparatively thin and soft, the aim il
to make it as thick as possible. If they
keep on, they will evolve the terrier into
staChound. New York Press.

Decorated Dogs.

In France there exists an order of merit,
founded by the Society For the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, of which the mem
bers are dogs who have distinguished
themselves by deeds of bravery tasIe
fully designed collar Of honor" is award
ed to the nominees of the order.
Among the animals already decorated in
this way one of the most celebrated Is
Bacchus, a large bulldog, whose speciality
it is to stop runaway horses by jumping
up and selling them by the bride. Bac-
chus' master resides in the Rue Biscornet,
1t is calculated that the intelligent AMI
NAL has already saved the lives of eight
persons, if not more, in this way. Paut'
land, another bulldog, received collar IN
1887 for saving his mistress from the at
tack of footpad, and Turk, splendid
Newfoundland, has had similar honor
for saving three young children from
drowning on different occasions. Paris

He Wasn't There.

Somehow or other when anybody ever
writes anything about Senator Hoar the
description is always accompanied with a
reference to his cherubio face. This is not
surprising 1t is cherubic facial
round and rosy, with the constant sem
blance of innocence which is truly bland.
But nobody would ever take Senator
Hoar for an Apollo Belvidere or for any
other old Greek or Roman gentleman
whose shape has been sculptured in endur-
ing marble His figure Is stocky and
pudgy and even bean baggy-to find a
simile which is appropriately Bostonese-
and this fact makes rather entertaining a
little incident which happened on the floor
of the senate once. Senator Mcmillan was
telling some col leagues of the quick and
fatal effects of grip and sudden cold that
had come to his notice. He recalled, fol
, instance that fine looking, handsome
gentleman, who had been at church on
Sunday, was dead on the following
Wednesday.
"What is that" asked Senator Hoar
joining the group.
II was just saying" replied Senator
Mcmillan, that n remarkably well built
handsome man, who was at tho Congrega
tional church last Sunday, is now dead. y
my dear Mac, said Senator Hoar
you really must be mistaken. was not

Trade Devices on Wheels.

Various familiar articles of trade are
used as models for the bodies of delivery
wagons. OF these the trunk is perhaps
the most commonly used. Wagons made
with the body in the scmblance OF q big
trunk may be seen in many cities, the de-
livery wagons of the dealers in trunks and
kindyed articles Perhaps the next most
familiar is the wagon with the body in the
form of great hat, the delivery wagon OF
q halter. Another form not unfamiliar Is
that of the great shoe, made of metal, and
mounted on wheels and used as the deliv-
cry wagon of a shoe dealer. Like the great
hat, the shoe may be painted or all gilded.
All of these devices have seat outside,
i'm front, and they have door ut the rear
end The shoe is mounted on the running
part, with the toe to the front. The driv-
er's scat is over the tip of the toe or in
froet OF it. The door by which parcels are
gotHn and out of the wagon is in the heel
of the great shoe at the back.
A wagon used for the delivery of pack
ages from laundry has a body in the
form of q great wash boiler. Perhaps the
latest of these trade devices on wheels is
shown in a wagon used for the delivery OF
a proprietary article that is sold in liquid
form. In this case the wagon body is in
the shape of great bottle. New York

A Dinner at Alma Tadema's.

The table was luxuriously spread, in
perfect harmony with the elegant dining
room. Wherever the eye rested was the
same tasteful arrangement, the same orig
inality of design, elegance without being
i'm the least tawdry. We were a cheerful
company. Mr.. Tadema was merry, as
usual. After dinner we went to the bill

dema beats his wife or she beats him.
They seem to have got used to beating one
another, though should judge that their
honeymoon is not yet quite over. L think

could have beaten one of them at billiards,
but the time was limited.
Mine host is quite dandy in his choice
of cigars and wines. While we were sitting
there smoking, more guests, both ladies
and gentlemen, came in-interesting, IN
deed charming, people all, mostly Eng
lish. 1t was not long before we were
called to the supper table-the English

wasn't hungry, but everything looked sc
inviting that partook with relish. Mr.
Tadema uncorked u lot of fresh jokes ano
clever stories-the good fellow has such @
happy faculty for hitting people ON theil
funny sides-and we had right Jolly
time. After the supper it was delight tC

TWO GIRL scHEMERS.
why the Old Officers Were Chosen Unani-
mousIy for Second Terms.


II expect you had an awful time at the
election last night" said the girl who
hadn't attended the annual meeting, "for
heard that nearly all the girls wanted to
be president and that there was going to
be a terrible fight.
'There wasn't" explained the presi-
dent sweetly, mot a bit OF trouble, and
all the old officers were reelected too.
You see, wanted to be president myself
this year and Alicia Brown wanted to
stay in Office, too, so we fixed up little
plan between us, and it was famous sue
cess"
"What did you do? Hurry up and tell
mel' the other girl exhorted her excitedly
"How on earth did you manage itY'
The president smiled happily.
"Oh, Alicia and talked it over before
hand" she said, land just as soon as the
meeting was called to order and before the
girls had got through talking she made a
motion that the Oldest girl in the club be
| made president always, and Lucille Hicks
seconded it, She wanted to be secretary
again, you see So put the motion, or
| the question or whatever it was, and
| Alicia and Lucille said Yes very loud, and
all the other girls did the same without
understanding what it was all about in
the least. My, but some of them were
mad afterward, thought
"What happened then?" asked the other
girl. "Did they all tell their ages under
! protests"
"No indeed not bit of it, " responded
/ the president, smiling again. Il just
knew they wouldn't When they found
out what it meant, they wouldn't say q
word, so Alicia got up again and moved
that all the old officers be elected Over
again unanimously And every girl IL
the room shouted Yes. They were glao
of any way out of the difficulty. Chi

Rally Day.

The vacation season of necessity in
terrupts the work of the church and
League in many particulars. Some
times it takes weeks after the return
home to get back into the old lines of
work and take up the habits of regular
attendance upon the meetings A good
device for some places is to have as
early in the autumn as is possible a
"rally Sunday" when in the public
service, Sunday school and League an
effort is made to bring all the people to-
gether and start the wheels of activity
into vigorous operation. Special music,
short addresses and roll call can all
be used with good effect. Get the
forces marshaled for the autumn cam
paign as early as possible and do not
wait till the glorious days are past and
winter storms interfere. Enthuse the
people and start the work at once

Causes of Gray Hairs.

Gray hairs are honorable no doubt, but
their advent is not usually hailed with
any exuberant joy by men and certainly
not by women, and 1T is curious to note
in going through life at what varying ages
people commence TO show the passage OF
years by the change in the color OF the
hair. And yet the whitening of the hair
does not always portend the approach OF
age. for the hair Of some individuals la
boring under certain passions has been
known to become gray in a single night.
Many reasons have been suggested for gray
hair. Some assert that the cause Is con-
traction of the skin about the roots OF II,
and from this cause suppose that polar
animals become white, the cold operating
as the contracting power, but this theory
is untenable, or we might all turn gray II
we happened to be exposed to particularly
hard frosts AS matter of fact, there
are fewer gray people in Russia than in
sunny Italy or Arabia. The more likely
reason is that the vital power is lessened
in the extreme qualifications of those al
most imperceptible vessels destined to
supply the hair with coloring fluid. The
vessels which secretc the fluid cease TO act,
or else the absorbent vessels take ii away
faster than it is furnished. This certainly
appears to'be feasible, for grief, debility,
fright fever and age al have the effect OF
lessening the power of the extreme vessels.
Against this theory it may be urged that
if the body be again invigorated the YES
sells ought, according to our reasoning, to
again secrete the coloring fluid, but to
this it may be replied that the vessels
which secrete this fluid are so very minute
that upon their ceasing their functions
they become obliterated and nothing can
ever restore them.-New York Ledger.

We commend to the attention Of the
literary department Of the Epwortb
League the work of Professor Winches-
ter of Wesleyan university, Middle
town, Conn. He stands in the front
ranks of American scholarship in the
realm of English literature. Perhaps he
has no superior in this branch of study.
His services are in much demand as a

conferences and conventions of various
kinds He is not only thorough in the
mastery of his subject, but he has sc
fine style in the delivery Of his care.

Lesson For the Week Beginning Oct. 20.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates. A. M.
Topic, The Bonds of Peace.

SCRIPTURE READISG.-Eph Nv, l-3
Great stress has been laid on Chris
tian union in all the ages. This has
been largely understood to mean one
ness in government. The Roman Cath
Ollie church has for centuries claimed
that the pope of Rome is the visible
head of the church of Christ and that
all who do not acknowledge his SUI
premacy and unite under him are schis-
mates and sinfully rebellious. But the
Greek and Armenian churches have al
ways been Independent Of the Roman
power. We cannot find Christian unity
in singleness of organization.
Nor does it lie in absolute oneness in
doctrine and practice. The time has
never been when there were not divi-
sions of sentiment and opinion and di-
versities in ceremonies and observances
of worship. The question of circumci-
sion and keeping the Mosaic law sharply
divided the early Christian communi-
ties. Even Paul and Peter had sharp
contention III regard to ritualistic prac-
tees The Jewish and gentle churches
varied much in their ordinances OF
worship.
What Paul exhorts to is humility OF
mind and conduct which il becoming tc
follower Of Jesus. While men must
differ in some matters of belief and
should have large measure of freedom
in action, yet all may so respect and
| love each other that they can work har
moniously together. The real uniting
bond is the one spirit of God. Deat
level of opinion is not desirable and il
received only at the cost of all living
spontaneity and progress. Forbearanc'
instead of the spirit Of intolerance is t.
be sought The inquisition is not TIT
best means of extirpating heresy. Per
secution rarely converts the one w
think in the wrong.
The one body is constituted by unioi
of spiritual aim and sentiment and doe
not lie in singleness of organization o
uniformity of belief and action.
