PHILADELPHIA, Aug. N.-There was
intense excitement in the wheat market
again this morning, when September wheat
in Chicago came over the wires at 98c

that sales at more than 81 a bushel were
made in three options during the same ses-
sion In addition to this, cash wheat sold
at $1.05. Traders hardly dared to do any
thing until the opening figures from Chi
cago were known. This gave them a cue

dollar, advanced 7sc more, declined 11sc,
and subsequently advanced 234c, closing at
81 O21s the top. September opened at 81, an
advance of &c over yesterday, while the first
deal in May was a sale at $103, which was

Butter is frequently mentioned in the
Old Testament Scriptures, but the best
Biblical scholars now regard the He

Chevreul, the famous French chem

Of stearine, margarine and obeine, with
small quantities of butyrine, caproine
and caprine.
The OK is found in every country Of
the world in a wild state. Even in the

extremely egotistic. He usually said

phrases was: Richard Wagner says

Voltairc and Piron were enemies. To
their embarrassment they met one day
at the country house of a friend. Piron
got up early, went to Voltaire's door
and wrote upon it the word "Rogue."
At breakfast Voltaire smilingly said to
him; II thank you for showing your in
terest in my welfare by leaving your
card at my door this morning"
Coleridge, the poet, was an awkward
horseman. Once riding dlong the turn

was accosted by a man who had been
watching the rider: II sayi young man,

out of the water, but you ought to see
the flocks of sea fowl that nestled on it!
They had to move out of the way TO
give us room to stay there, and that
was about all they would do. Their
nests were everywhere, and there were
eggs in abundance. We ate about n
barrel of them every day during the l.
days we were there. Some of us got off

Nicaragua, where we got vessel to go
after those we left on the reef. That
vessel was commanded by William
