CHICAGO MARKET
Yesterdays TRANSACTION on the Board

CHICAGO, June 16.-Corn was the big
market on change today, heavy buying in
which outsiders were prominent. causing
Ac advance. The opening prices of July
wheat were 691s@69A. compared with yes
terday's close, of $685. From. that it ad-
vanced to dsN biaa then down to SO, and
for awhile Thereafter it revolved around
691s. The unexpected firmness abroad after
the weakness here yesterday gave the
market some temporary strength and it
also got some, help from the light north
west receipts-1S cars-against 500 the
same day last year. The home crop con-
ditions and the dullness in the speculative
trade proved sufficis11tly bearish to offset
the early strength thehharket derived from
the better foreign cables. The weekly
weather crop bulletins were uniformly
bearish as to wheat, showing the spring
crop to be making progress and the winter
crop nearly, finiishedI and in good shape,
with harvesti6g219Hpleted in some areas
and a prospect that by next week the new
grain will be coming freely into the market.
After lingering around ~69B for time the
marketNt toolpane thersWhir July touching
697s on the buying furry. Another drop
from a greater height and to greater
depth than the first signalized the last
hour of trading. July wheat came out
freely and it looked like eliquidating of bull
holdings rather than short selling. July
sold down to 67ss on this slump, but by
closing time had recovered to 6S1s@6S5s.
Corn was surprisingly strong and had the
active support Of the elevator interests and
the best infomed people on the floor Trad
ing was heavy throughout. Oats sympa-
thized with corn and followed that market
closely. Provisions opened weak on ex-
tremely heavy hog receipts. some 13 900
over the estimate, and ruled weak through
out the session.

Politenes. Came to Grief.

1t happened OH Ridge avenue street
car early one evening last week, says
the Philadelphia Record. He was a
rather nice looking fellow, very neatly
dressed and apparently on the alert to
be gallant to any lady who might hap
pen to run across his path His oppor-
tunity came along very shortly when a
pretty young woman sat down beside
him He took sly, unobtrusive survey
of her face and figure, and i'll the course
of his observations his eye rested upon
a dainty bit CT linen and lace lying on
the floor near the edge of her gown.
The young lady had dropped her hand
kerchief, thought the gallant, and he
promptly proceeded to restore it TO her.
He stopped over and grasped the deli
cate fabric The next moment there
was slight ripping noise and the gal
liant, blushing furiously, released his
hold upon the bit of lace edged linen.
The young woman looked daggers at
him, while the other passengers snick-
cred "I-aw-beg pardon, stammer-
ed the unhappy young man. Il didn' Z
know il was your--aw-I thought il
was your handkerchief " The young
woman's nose assumed an upward tilt,
and she hid the damaged lingerie under
the edge of her outer skirt The gallant
left the car at the next cross street.

An Inventors Reward.

A young man employed at $l.80 a
day in one of the factories in New Brit
ain, Conn, recently invented an at.
tachment to machine on which he
was working which promises to be of
great value. -Four men were employed
ON this machine prior to his invention
and its use was about to be abandoned
because of the expense attending the
running of it. The young man devised
an attachment which when applied to
the machine permitted one boy to at
tend it, and he can turn out as much
work as the four men could previously.
This machine is run regularly every
day, and it is doing good work at saw
ing of SO day over former cost. The

young man check for $50. Spring

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
An Old sun Dial.

An interesting story is told OF an old
sundial in Pennsylvania which is worth
repeating. In the first part Of the last
century an honest Irish emigrant named
Porter settled near Philadelphia. Among
his sons was one named Andrew, whom
he tried to make into a farmer and then,
like his brothers, "A carpenter. But An
drew would have nothing to do with the
pillow or the plane. He hid in corners,
porting over some mathematical books
that had come into his possession.
One day he found the design of sun
dial in one of them and resolved TO
make one. He walked eight miles to a
soapstone quarry, found slab and car
ried it home ON his back. Full of zeal,
he went to his brothers shop and used
their saws and chisels in his work.
When they came homo in the evening,
the dial was finished, Andrew was tri-
umphant, but every tool III the shop
was nearly or quite ruined. They drove
him into the street iii fury of anger
and contempt
His father, now convinced that he
was an idle good for nothing, who
would never fully earn his bread, babe
him go and fit himself for schoolteach-
ing, that he called the "lazy man $
work.
Andrew gave himself to hard study
for the summer and then went to the
astronomer David Rittenhouse and asked
| him TO lend him book ON comic sec
| tions.
How long have you studied mathe-
matics?" demanded the great man.
"Three months.
"And what do you know of comic Sec
tions?" Rittenhouse rejoined, with
whitening contempt.
But after asking the boy few ques-
tions he not only lent him the book, but
advised him not to waste his time in
the country, but to go TO Philadelphia
and open mathematical school
This poor farm boy was afterward
General Andrew Porter, an officer in
the war of the revolution and an au-
thority on mathematical science in the
young republic.
There are plenty of farm boys now
who dislike farm work 1t wouldn't be
wise to infer that because Of this indo-
lent disposition they are Andrew Porters
in embryo An easy basis for judgment
is to note the use they make Of their
idle time Do they give it to comic Sec
tions or to baseball?-Youth's Compan-

HOW WORRY KILLS.
II Injuries Beyond Repair Certain Cells
Of the Brain.

of the Brain.
Modern science has brought TO light
nothing more curiously interesting than
the fact that worry will kill More re-
markable still, il has been able TO de-
termine, from recent discoveries, just
how worry does kill.
1t is believed by many scientists who
have followed most carefully the growth
of the science of brain diseases that
scores of the deaths set down to other
causes are due TO worry, and that alone
The theory is simple one-so simple
that any one can readily understand it.
Briefly put, it amounts to this: Worry
Injuries beyond repair certain cells of
the brain, and, the brain being the nu-
tritive center of the body, the other or
gans become gradually injured, and
when some disease of these organs or
a combination of them arises death
finally ensues
Thus does VERY kill. Insidiously,
like many another disease, it creeps
upon the brain in the form of single,
constant never lost idea, and, as the
dropping of water over period of
years will wear groove in "a stone, SO
does worry gradually, imperceptibly,
but no less surely, destroy the brain
cells that lead all the rest-that are, so
to speak, the commanding officers Of
mental power, health and motion
Worry, to make the theory still
stronger, is an irritant at certain points,
which produces little harm if it comes
at intervals or irregularly. Occasional
worrying of the system the brain can
cope with, but the iteration and reitera-
ton of one idea of a disquieting sort
the cells of the brain are not proof
against 1t is as if the skull were laid
bare and the surface Of the brain struck
| lightly with a hammer every few sec
onds, with mechanical precision, with
never a sign of let up or the failure Of
a stroke.
Just in this way does the annoying
idea, the maddening thought that will
not be done away with, strike or fall
upon certain nerve cells, never ceasing
and week by week diminishing the vi
tally of these delicate organisms that
are SO minute that they can only be
seen under the microscope -Pharma-

TOO Much Eloquence.

In recent interview with Mark
Twain the following amusing story was
elected 1t seems that Twain once went
to hear missionary lecturer who mad
worked among the poor The speaker
was eloquent. He drew a picture OF a
starving family that brought tears from
his audience, and Mark Twain, who
happened to have four 500 bills with
him. said to himself, 'pll give one Of
those bills when the plate comes round. :"
The preacher continued, his story be-
came more piteous and narrowing, and
Mark Twain said, IN spare two of
those bills .
But still the tale of woe went on, the
agony accommodating and accommodating,
until Mark Twain exclaimed; For
goodness sake send that plate round, SO
that l can pour my sympathy into it.
I'll give all four bills, and I'll write q
check too +"
But the lecturer rather overdid it.
''He went on talking and talkil &, !"
said Mark Twain as he told the story,
land as he talked my enthusiasm Gained
and Gained, and the red flush of my
sympathy became paler and paler. And
when he had been talking about half
an hour had saved one of those bills,
and when he had talked five minutes
more two of those bills were mine
again, and when he had been talking an
hour had won all four back, and, by
gosh, when he finally did send that
plate round borrowed 10 cents out of
it to pay my car fare home. T"
