A little thing happened down at the
home of Schilling's Best tea the other
day that cost the firm clean 5000,
and the most interesting feature of the
matter is that they could have got out
of paying it if they wanted to-because
it was voluntary thing and no one
expected them to do it.
1t seems that, in the earlier part of
the missing word contest. A. Schilling
& Co. promised 500 each to the two
persons who sent in the largest number
of Schilling's Best yellow tickets before
June Is.
It seems fair that the consumers of
the tea should get those prizes. A
grocer has better opportunity for col
lecting tickets; and then, too, he makes
a profit On the tea But two grocers
won the prizes, and A. Schilling & Co.
paid the money.
Now comes the funny part-they
wanted consumers to get 5000, and were
determined they should. So they paid
another 5000 to the two consumers who
had sent in the two largest numbers of
tickets.
That is handsome, to say the least.

Good Demand for Warships.

New York, July 21.-The Herald's
correspondent in Rio de Janeiro tele-
graphs that the United States and Japan
have communicated with the govern
ment Of Brazil with the idea of the
possible purchase of warships now
building for Brazil in England and
Germany.
Owing to Brazil's financial plight at
this time it was recently decided to
sell before completion, if possible, all
the war vessels being built for Brazil
in the two countries named. These are
principally small boats.

Blood Wanted.

Rome, July 21.-The Popolo Romano
announces that the Count of Turin has
been challenged by Prince Henry of
Orleans to duel for the calumnies and
insulting remarks he is alleged to have
uttered at the expense of the Italian
officers recently released from captivity
in Abyssinia. Prince Henry had de-
clined to fight with the Italian lieuten-

drawing of lots to challenge him.

chronique scandaleuse a member OF the

nobleman high in court circles.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins q Company's Review
Of Trade.

Downing, Hopkins q Company's Review
Of Trade.
There was much activity in the Chi
cago market during the past week.
There was temporary advance in July
wheat of cents per bushel, but the
end of the week shows tendency to
cell out on the confident assertions that
the present week will see good begin
ming of the movement OF new wheat
to market.
There is no indication that the de-
mands from the milling interests will
be sufficient to head off any great guam
tity of it as the -four trade is appar-
emily calling for lessened rather than
increased production. 1t therefore re-
mains with the farmer to say whether
or not he will sell now or at some time
in the future. The developments OF
the last few days lead the trade to be-
lieve that there will be the usual lib
eral marketing of wheat almost direct
from the harvester. Looked at in the
broad sense, however, the wheat mar
ket is in strong position the world
over, and the coming twelve months
should see higher price level than the
last twelve. America should take
more than usually prominent part in
the trade of the year, as the present crop
promises to be not only the finest quail
ity but relatively larger than that OF
any other country. The government
figures on production issued July 10,
are practically ignored by the trade.
They indicate crop nearly 40, 900. 900
bushels less than the most radical in
the trade will estimate. The weak
point in the report is the VIGOROUSLY
inaccurate figures on area. No one In
the trade will seriously entertain the
proposition that Oklahoma has but 2OO,-
600 acres in wheat this year.
The London Times of recent date
gays: "The prospect Of the harvest in
Eastern Europe are disquieting indeed.
In Austria and Hungary and along the
whole line of the Danube the harvest
will be bad. Immense tracts of corn
fields in Servia, Bulgaria and Roumanla
have been laid under water by destruc-
tive floods, and what water has spared,
rust has greatly injured. So bad, in
deed, is the prospect that Austria and
Hungary, instead Of exporting wheat
will have to import it. At any rate 1t
is clear that the wheat supply from
the Danube is likely to be exceedingly
all, if not altogether wanting this
season.

The BEAR A CALF.

Adventure that Might Have Had :
Very Unpleasant Ending.
"When 1 was at college," said our
host of the evening, II thought ! knew
everything. but time changed my ford
opinion Of myself, and 1t does me good
to recall some Of the occasions when l
was tumbled down without much cere-
mony from my high altitude.
Zone of those was when | was
spending my vacation at home with q
college mate who was as premature as
myself. We were in that dreadful mi
tiatory state when we addressed eacn
other in the dead languages and made
life burden to everybody by the long
words of our colloquies.
my father generously placed cou-
pie Of horses at our disposal, perhaps
In the hope that we would break our
foolish necks, and one evening when
we mounted after sunset for our even
ing ride, he asked us to look up stray
calf which had escaped from a pasture
near the house.
"'It's a black critter,' said my faith
er, and as frisky as they make 'em.

I'VE had our ride, and we found the
calf. By that time it was dark-not
Egyptian darkness, but the dusk of a
starlit summer sky. The calf was
browsing on the edge of lonely piece
of woods and at first paid no attention
to our attempts to start it homeward.
Our horses SHE'D at the animal, and 1t
was all we could do to manage them.
My friend suggested that one Of us dis
mount and drive the bovine

my friend, it's the first favor the gov

move on or be run over, and snorting
Indignantly he trotted on ahead, but
with so many diversions after sweet
spots Of clover and other delicacies
that we thought we had an all-night
job.
Eat last we sighted the gate, and as
we reached it we closed up on the calf
in such way that we run him through
it and past the old man before he had
a chance for one of his clumsy double
and twisted jumps in another and OPP
posite direction
But what was our surprise to see
the governor take to his heels with the
agility of boy and go sprinting up
the lane to the house like prize run
ner, getting inside of the porch and
pulling the door closed after him.

The "Charm' OF Serpents.

Any popular so-called prejudice, If
long continued, probably is founded up
en- some matter of fact, although this
may not have been demonstrated,
writes DR.. Henry Lee, in the London
Lancet. That some animals have the
power Of paralyzing others which they
prey upon is a matter of direct observa-
ton. A rabbit will remain perfectly
motiOnless in the presence Of a stOat
and without moving will allow hole
to be made through the skull at the
back of the head. We may suppose
that the power of feeling, as of motion,
is for the time gone. DR.. Livingstone
felt no pain when seized by tiger. 1
have seen a mouse remain perfectly
motionless under the gaze of a cat.
When excited the cats pupils become
dilated. On one occasion in the even
ing saw a cat in an excited state re-
tire to shady place where it could no
longer be seen, but presently saw two
small red globes fixed upon me. l once
saw the same, less defined, In the eyes
of a kitten, but it is very difficult to get
their eyes fixed when near.
A general officer who has seen long
service in India informed me that on
one occasion serpent had got into a
house and taken refuge in cellar. Be-
ing a soldier it was suggested that he
was the proper person to dislodge the
intruder. He took spear and looked
through hole in the wall Of the cellar,
but saw no serpent. Presently two
small red globes were fixed upon him.
These he supposed to be the serpent's
eyes and thrust his spear, as he
thought, between them. The spear
caught the serpent just behind the head
and killed it.
