The proposition made at the Grand
Army encampment to observe the
last Sunday in May as Memorial
day, instead of the 3Oth of May, was
no doubt intended to strip the cele-
bration of its holiday and even
spoItive features which it is assum-
ing more and more every year. BY
having Decoration day on Sunday,
it was argued, the original intent of
the day of solemn and semi-religious,
as well as patriotic, observance
would be maintained. But The
probabilities are that it would have
interfered with the usual Sunday OBJ
servance, and converted the last Sun
day of May into something of a
secular holiday: The national en-
campment did wisely in rejecting
the change.-La Grand Chronicle.

A WORKOUT BUGAB0O.

The dispatches state that Japan is
negotiating with the Greater Repub-
lie of Central America, with the
view of obtaining control of the Mic
aragua canal. That she will entirely
ignore the rights of the United States
IN the matter, and all that sort of
thing. The story is as gauzy as q
Chilcooter's dream. Only a few
weeks ago those who desired the an

THE WHEAT TRADE.

The past week has been quiet
one in wheat circles. compared with
the excitement of the two preceding
ones, yet under ordinary circum.
stances the volume of business which
has been done throughout the Pacific
Northwest would be considered very
large for the time of year. Consid-
erably more wheat has passed out of
primary hands than for the same
time In previous seasons. In many
sections of the interior farmers have
sold quite freely at current prices,
and by so doing have placed them
selves in good circumstances. In
other localities disposition to hold
back supplies is noted, In anticira
tion of obtaining higher figures later
on, owing to strong reports received
from abroad.
On the whole, enough wheat has
passed from first hands into those of
exporters to meet the wants of early
tonnage contracts, and present ap-
pearances warrant the belief that
vessels from this port will receive
prompt dispatch. In and around
Walla Walla there has been keen
competition on the part of buyers,
and, in many instances, farmers have
realized prices which we're above the
spot value here. Liberal purchases
on the basis of $1.45 per GENITAL here
have been made, and in q few cases
$3.50 was paid. In the Palouse
country as high as IL cents per
bushel was paid, which is much
above the export value at this port.
In the Valley competition is pa:ticu-
larly active, and wheat sold on the
basis of S1.5O per GENITAL here. To
warrant these prices foreign markets
must so higher than present quota
tions.
Farmers are making heavy deliv-
cries at shipping points, but to date
wheat has not been received here in
any large amount. The movements
during September is expected to be
very large, and the outlook for
heavy receipts from the interior is
very propitious. We quote: Walla

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at their New
York Office, there was great rush and
a great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events proved to have
been very clever advertising transac-
ton, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, 1t was in the end
profitable; nearly every one that took a
free bottle came back for more and paid
for it with pleasure, saying they had de-
rived better results from its use than
from any other medicine they had ever
used.
There is nothing SO uniformly success
full in the treatment of stomach troubles
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and
what is better than all, it relieves at
once.

Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea.

Barrie Hard Hit.

This is how the "Chap Book" comments
upon J. NJ Barrie's latest work, margaret
ogilvy":
When Forster published his "Life of Charles
Dickens it was said that the proper title for
the book should have been 'Iiie of Forster
With "reminiscences of Charles Dickens"
Pretty much the same may be said of "Mar-
garet Ogilvy," Mr. Barrie's memoir of his
mother. The book should have been called,
James NJ. Barrie as Son; how he carried
shawls and made beds and secured plates in
his own home; and went to London; and
wrote books about his friends and relatives;
and the strange faces he made while writ
ing them; what he thought of things in
general and himself in particular; with
full details OF his daily habits and
domestic life and occasional glimpses of
His Mother" Nothing less would give true
idea of Mr. Barrie's quiet way of creeping to
the front of the stage himself. The book is
not about his mother; it is about Mr.. Barrie
No one who knows Mr.. Barrie-a more modest
or more refined man never liyed-will hold him
consciously TO blame for this mishap. He
started out to give us sketch of his mother;
to make the picture a true one he was COM
PEELED to bring himself in; and quite by acci-
dent-these things will happen somehow-he
has made himself the central figure in the
foreground. The impression left by the me-
moir is that Mr. Barrie was most dutiful and
we'll behaved young man. AS q work
OF art the book is undoubtedly a very
dainty piece of literature. But it is i'm
possible for the reader 10 rid himself of
the i'm preston of srtifciality- so much in
the execution, as in the idea of The thing; the
instinct that it Is unn atural for a man TO sit
down and turn his home life into public copy
and sell for money description, however pa
thetic, of his mothers and sisters deatbbed
There is something too theatrical about it;

The Value of the Times" !"

Any one who wants to get an idea of the
value of big newspaper may take as basis
the estimated profit of shareholders of the
London Times, as suggested in recent trial.
Mr.. Adams bought one-fourteenth of two
thirds of oue-ninth of twosixteerths Tor
1-15l2) of the Times from MIR. Brodie Tor 1853,
on the assurance that this minute share was
worth f25 per annum. According TO him,
after he had purchased the share he found it
only to be worth eli year. On this he asked
for damages. A jury assessed the damages at
f65. Assuming this share to be worth els per
annum (Which seems about the average
value), it is clear. says London Truth, that the
net dividend on shares is 227, 216. Mr.. Adams,
believing 1t to be worth 1852, paid for il 14,1

that smacks too much of the set funeral or
tion over the grave of an eminent French man.
Mr. Barrie, by TACT and sheer literary ability,
has concealed the innate deceitfulness OF his
task; but If books OF the margaret 0giivy"
style become common, feebler hands will notso
conceal It. And 1t is interesting % note that the
Scotsman, the most literary OF all Scotch papers,
condemns the motif of the book as "alien and
repulsive to the Scottish nature" If that Is
so, the Scotch are for once in harmony with
the rest of the world. We commented in the
last number of the "Chap Book" on the dex-
ferrous methods by which the American pub
fishers of the book have shifted its interest
from Margaret Ogilvy to Mr.. Barrie, booming
it as purely personal gossip, and already the
world is being told that such and such g
character is Mr.. Stead and so and so is Lord
Rosebery, and this editor is Mr.. Frederick
Greenwood and that kind friend is of course
DR.. Robertson Nicoll. Whatever on earth has
all this to do with Margaret Ogllvy?

Miss Knapp's New Book.

The Roycroft Printing Shop of East Aurora,
n. Y, announces the publication on March Is
next OF a new book by Miss Adeline Knapp, en-
titled Upland Pastures
The book will consist of short outdoor es-
says. dealing with the beautiful things that
spring and summer bring.
Five hundred copies will be printed on
Dickinson's rough English paper, bound in
antique boards 50 each; forty copies on Japan
vellum, hand-illumined by Bertha C. Hubbard
S. each.
The book will be done throughout in the
best Roycroft style, which fact will be enough
to assure admirers of artistic work. We have
already taken occasion in these columns to
speak of the excellent taste displayed by
Ebert Hubbard in the Roycroft publications.
Miss Knapp is well known TO readers of the
reviews as the author of numerous striking
essays on economic subjects. To the public OF
San Francisco she win be remembered by her
charming 'IdyIs of the Field" which have
appeared in THE CALL. Her new venture will
be awaited with interest.

Ruskin's Philanthropy.

From time to time references are made to
the sacrifice of his fortune made by Ruskin
for the benefit of the poor. The Home Jour
nal gives some of the interesting and inspiring
de tails af this sacrifice:
Through his father Mr.. Ruskin fell heir TO
nearly 81. 600, 900. to which must be added
the income OF his writings But this man
counted his treasures as a trust fund held in
the interests of suffering merit or youths
promising talent. That he was on the London
committee for the yictualing OF Paris in 1871
proves that his beneYolence was as well known
as Peabody's or Lady Burdett- Coutts' Taxing
himself first tenth, then half, he finally gave
his entire income. If he needed botanical
and art works Tor his studies he crippled him
self rather than refuse his last spare 20
guineas to the widow of dead artist. If for
health's sake and arts sake he wanted 10 take
trip to Switzerland, he would forego it
that he might contribute 9I00 to the
Cruikshank memorial. If others would
not encourage the study of ert in
schools. he would buy ten water-color draw
ings Of William Hunt paying for each 1875,
and give them to the public schools of Lon
don. In one OF his letters to the workingm men
of Great Britain he told them what he had
done and was doing with his money in carry
ing on his ST. Georges Guild and his plans for
rent reform. Up TO 1877 he had given away
all his fortune save $3.50, 600 But, in view OF
the needs OF his workngmen's clubs, this
amount seemed much too large for his per-
sonal wants. He therefore determined 10 dis
tribute all save G12, 900 worth of consols, the
interest of which would bring him some $500
Upon this interest he now lives, the income of
his books being distributed among his SER
wants, his old pensioners and his various plans
for social reform"
He bestowed his art treasures, we are further
told, with like generosity, on institutions
where the poor would have access TO them
He anticipated General Booth by founding a
guild 10 redeem waste lands and regenerate
ruined lives Under his influence the his
toriau Green spent several years in work
among the London poor. The best lectures of
the great art critic, it is said, have never been
given where wealth and social prestige were
represented, but before working-girls' and
workingmen's associations.

A Pen Portrait.

Hair whose gold was deftly spun
By viewless spindles of the sun.
Eyes whose silken fringes seem
The curtains of fairy's dream,
On mischief bent, yet half demure-
The home Of thoughts and fancies pure.
Where heavenly lights have equal sway
In union OF the blue and gray.
Words whose sweetness cannot wane
From lips like rosebuds alter rain.
A heart whose softly rhy thmic beat
Is timed to all things true and sweet.

she makes big reputation as an author by
representing as her own the work of her

Mr.. /. Zangwill, famous as the author of
''The Children of the Ghetto" has completed
another book concerning Jewish life, which
will be entitled "Dreamers Of the Ghetto"
From a business point of view this second
title is not chosen happily, and it is to be
feared that comparisons, always odious in
themselves, will be made between the books
bearing names so nearly similar. "The Chill
dren of the Ghetto is not the only fiction Mr..
Zangwill has produced but it's the only one
SO far which could have given him any dis
tincton. "Dreamers of the Ghetto'' will be
awaited eagerly-and somewhat anxiously-
by those who recognize in its author some
thing quite out of the ordinary so far as liter
ary ability is concerned.
The English papers are still discussing the
new masterpiece, as they classify Mrs. SteePs
wonderful novel of the great mutiny. "On the
Face of the Waters" The Macmillan Company
have announced their edition of it for publ
cation the Goth inst, but are forced by delays
in press TO postpone it for week. 1t will
surely be ready by the end of the month. 1t
is a compact book (the English edition has
about 430 pages, the American about AIS, the
increase being due merely to a difference of
type), but in its intense unwavering interest
its length is unnoticed. The scene is for the
most part in Delhi, and her marvellous palace,
the Cantonment, the Ridge, or the narrow
streets, even the noise of the bazaar, are de-
scribed with a vivid vitality which is rarely
equaled and cannot be surpassed. Mrs. Steel
has the rare gift of writing in colors.
Among the several works left by Robert
Louis Stevenson unpublished at his death, un-
doubtedly the one of completest and widest
interest is q romance entitled "St. Ives" Un-
like s.Weir of Hermiston," the only other
novel left by Stevenson unpublished, 'St.
Iyes'' was left all but complete and it is, those
say who have read IL, a straight-away, honest
tale of adventure, related in Stevensons most
spirited and charming vein. 1t is love story,
and records in particular the exploits of
very cool, audacious, attractive French soldier
who becomes prisoner of war in Edin burgh
Castle. The exclusive right OF serial publica-
ton of "St. Ives for America was purchased
soon after Stevenson's death by McClure's
Magazine, and the publication will begin in
the March number Of that periodical,
