ports 1t:
A feeble old man whUse yellow COM
plexion indicated liver troubles offered

excitedly exclaimed:
"Mr. Chairman, Mr.. Chairman, the
gentleman Is out of order and there
fore cannot offer the resolution"
The old man replied III an equally
excited manner: "Mr. Chairman, the
gentleman is right. I am out Of order.
The doctor told ne this morning that
my liver was all out Of order. But,
Mr.. Chairman, I should like to see the

to Demeter and Persephone Of the
Greeks, the Mother and the Virgin,
and of Vinata and Kaden Of the Sam
skirt, the former of whom Is connect
ed with our modern observance Of
Easter in that she bore an egg, whence
issues the serpent which according to
tradition common to many primitive
peoples, brings about the waxing and
waning Of the moon by swallowing
and disgorging it,. This conception is
not confined to saysges, for Musset ,the
French poet, in his fantastic "Ballade
Ia Lune," spostrophizes the moon ss
follows:
Isl snake that gnawsi
Thy disk? Whose swart embrace
So draws
To long alright thy face9
But why is the hare rather than the
serpent, which is the more plausible
egg producer, connected with the sur
vival Of. n oon worship at Eastertidep
1t is because from the earliest times
people fashioned the spots Of the moon
in the form Of hare. jest as ihe ma
jestic mien and rsyonnsnt name Of the
lion made him the fit symbol Of the
beaming sun. And as the moon SEEM
ed to shrink from the presence Of the
lord of day, what was more natural to
represent it in proverb and story as the
timid hare leaping up In the absence or
The subjugation of It's powerful enemy?
AS the moon in mythology was rep
resented as changing it's sex, so its ami

which evolves fact from fancy, was In
time thought to do SO In reality. From
the days of Pliny and Plutarch to the
.euphuists and their successors Of the
reigns Of Elizabeth and James the as
founding statement was accepted with

following incarnation from Beaumont
and Fletcher's "Faithful Shepherdess. "
which also connects the hare with the
moon.
Hares that, yearly, sexes change;
Proteus, altering oft and strange;
Hecate, with shapes three,
Let this maiden changed be.
Even in the succeeding days of dawns
ing science the author Of "Vulgar Er.
rors," in his chapter upon the belief In
this metamorphosis, denies only that
the change occurs annually and admits
that it may have taken place in excep-
tional instances. SI
Another zoologi cal fable which con
meets the hare with the watchful moon,
"Spy since that man was born," was
that the hare, born, unlike the rabbit,
with open eyes, never closed them, and
eyes were prescribed to induce wake
fulness.
Superstitions connecti Bg the hafe
and the moon are innumberable. The
hare that crosses your path brings
either i'll luck, as does the shadow that
crosses the moon in eclipse, or else dis
orders your wits, as the beams Of the
moon are thought to bring lunacy by
shining upon the unprotected face and
head. In this latter capacity as lun-
attic maker the flesh Of the hare was
supposed to induce melancholy. But

WHEAT PRICES TUMBLE

Promises of Heavy Crops and Lack of

AT the start in wheat there was more or
less covering by shorts. who, in view of the
holiday Monday and the nervous condition
of the trade, seemed to be disposed to even

responsible for the early strength, but
when buyers were satisfied and withdrew
trade became sluggish The bear news
multiplying and the bull interest getting
no support, the selling rush became ag-
gressive and vigorous, and was pushed with
such energy that everything was swept be-
fore it. Liquidation soon became as urgent
as the short selling, the market getting de-
moralized. The impression became general
that Letter had lost control and no
longer able to resist the natural course of
the prices. There was no Liverpool cables,
but the crop news continued 10 grow more

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK May 2S.-The week has shown
very irregular results in the dry goods market.
None of these has been entirely satisfactory ex-
cept the sales Of staple cottons for export use.
The bad weather which has prevailed all week
is the primal cause Of poor business. 1t is re-
ported that the consumption trade in nearly all
sections of the country has been light Out-of-
town jobbers have felt this and have been very
slow buyers on this account. Local jobbers state
that they have been able to sell goods in the more
stape lines only BY means of liberal concessions.
The market for novelties, especially patriotic
ones, has been lively. In wooden fabrics of all
sorts the market has ruled dull. Print cloths are
quoted at 15-16c, perfectly nominal quotation.
odd goods have been sold with some freedom
through the week. Cotton goods have been with
out feature, with the exception of continued
heavy demand for brown sheeting and drills for
