LETTER AND WHEAT.

A "corner" in any commodity can only have one object and that is to control the supply Jill the demand grows so urgent that the selling price can be dictated by these who hold the supply.
 MT. Letter has made calcula ion. Taking the government crop bureau figures he adds 30,000,O00 buehels, left over from 1896, to 53O, 100000, the crop of 1897; he subtrac,s 145 ,0O0,G00 bush els exported to date, 340,O00, 900, nsc- essary for home consumption, an1 co., 100000 bushels necessary for seed. There remain 15,O00,O00 bushes un2c- counted for and Letter says: Seat tered over different parts of the coun- try we have holdings of at least that amount, so we can safely claim TO have possession of all the surplus" He at once proceeds to push up the price 10 cents per bushel in advance of the price for May wheat. The Gal veston News sums it up ths way: ''The wheat combine assumes CD the approximate accuracy at East of the governments agricultural bureau crop reports, CD excessive exp1rta ;ol un- der the stimulus of foreign crop fail ure, and (3) that the whea. bead sup ply in the Uni.ed States will be she Tt before the new spring crop is On the market. Upon the strength of these assumptions the combine expect. to sell at something in the neighborhood of s1.10 per bushel, or perhaps even more.''
 Supposing MT. Letters a=sump ions to be correct he can from now | Il the new spring crop comes in fix the price that the people of %he United ates shall pay for flour and wheat bre,d, and because all markets are drawn together by a bond of sympathy. Lei- ter fixes the price for the word.
 If a man then has cap:ta enough he can fix the price of bread for hu- man existence all the world over. The Galveston News poin.s out tha. the Letter deal accentuates the natural though arbitrary power of capt al con- centrated for a defined purp &; it has the admitted element, too, of le- gf,imate business about it that at taches to any deliberate, open ana above board purchase of any comnoi- ity. MT. Letter has in a way 1isked millions he planned for and controlled the required amount-in order to be master of the bread sup ply of this country; and taxing as i: is to rhe consumer and diso-ganizing to the ordinary trend of all sympa- thetic business channels, it is stla ge if there is no way by legal enactment to prevent such business occurrences
 It is a commentary upon the fixed habits of a. people, nevertheless, tha- corn is measurably going begging all the time at p cents to 30 ems a bushel. To use MT. Letters cIwn fig ure of speech corn bread may yet be the key with which wheat ccmbina- tions shall be unlocked, and the firm CT shall thus find a way to keep the corners money and, changing p'aces wf,h the millionaire, become the die tator of the situation

salesman from Philadelphia who comes

House few evenir gs ago discussing the
destruction of the Maine. the admlrabls
work of Commodore Dewey and his feet
In the far east and the Spanish American
war In general.
His listener. who is the representative of
Milwaukee house, tried to get in a word,
hut 1t was Impossible. The Philadelphian
was so verbose that no one could have In
terrupted him. He told all about the war,
described to his Milwaukee friend the stra-
tegic movements that the American navy
would make and volunteered information
as to the exact Date tho war would end
Everything was made perfectly plain to
the sman from Beertown. Just as he was
about to leave the hotel for stroll about
town the Phiiadelphisn turned to hfs MIL
wsukee friend. and. looking him square in
the eye, asked:
"Can you tell me why the loss OF an
American ship is like ginger?''
The man from Milwaukee thought In
tently for a moment and shook his head.
Why. It Is good for Cramps.''
The Philadelphian drew a picture OF his
joke, and the two started tor the cafe.

"If other provisions should run short
our army and navy will not want for crack
ers while they are fighting the Spaniards -
said one of the largest biscuit rnanufactur-
ers in New York to writer for The Star
I'VE are now working day and night to
fill an order CT the United States govern
ment for $1,000 boxes Of biscuits, to be de-
livered within six days at various military
and naval stations along the Atlantic
coast This is the largest order we have
received since last March, when, in two
days, we turned out $4,000 boxes or S,OOO,-
Sans biuejackets.
The biscuits contracted for by the gov
ernment for the use of our Sailormen is
the finest production of its kind made any
where. 1t is composed of the best ma
terials and baked to perfection, as it forms
staple part of Jacks food, and the pres
ence of deleterious matter might prove
disastrous to a vessels crew. The biscuit
Is commonly known as pilot bread, and
when properly made 1t will keep sweet and
wholesome through year-long voyage In
tropic seas. There are now thirty or more
bakeries in New York making crackers and
pilot bread, and it Is estimated that these
concerns use UP annually 100000 barrels
OF flour for the purpose. One large comb!-
nation of cracker bakeries turns out as
many as three hundred different sorts of
biscuits. 1t has capital of $4,000 900 and
a baking capacity Of 1000 barrels of flour
day and employs 1.2O0 people in various
capacities in different establishments The
product is shipped not only to eastern and
southern states of this country but it goes
in very large quantities to the West Indies
and South America and even to faraway

ABOUT HAY FEVER.
Season II Approaching When Lots Of
People Will Suffer.


''The season is approaching said a
prominent physician to the. writer recently
when great many people will suffer
from what is known as hay fever, and as
but few who are susceptible to the COM
plaint know how to avoid, much less to
cur. it Il few remarks about the nature
and treatment of the ailment may not be
uninteresting. .5.: ... s-s-
Hay fever is a nervous affection usually
most prevalent during the spring and early
summer, from which the poorer classes
and more especially those living in popu-
Ious towns rarely If ever suffer. 1t is
known only to the educated, whose nerv-
Gus systems are highly developed, and
though not in any sense dangerous, it is at
all times very irritating and troublesome
The smell of hay, grass, the pollen Of flow
ers, the odor of fruit, dust or .draught will
generate the complaint excite an at
tack in persons subject to it, but rain or
damp weather invariably brings relief. At
one time 1t was generally supposed that the
odor of hay when being mown or carted
could alone induce the affection, which is
closely analogous to asthma. but recent
observation shows that its prevalence is
entirely Independent of the existence Of
hay fields and is really a nervous derange-
ment.
"A visit to the seaside, trip to sea or
residence in populouS town will, however,
remove the asthmatic tendency, but one of
the best remedies is tobacco smoke. retain
ed in the mouth as long as possible and
then elected through the ncstrils. The in
halation of the steam of ten drops of .creo-
sote in a pint of hot water is also good, or
twenty drops of spirits of camphor to the
same quantity of water makes very ef-
fective inhalation. But the affection being
a nervous one. tonics and nourishing diet
are more essential than any of these palIia-
tives, which merely afford temporary re-
lief"

Prejudice.
It's the land of the free and the home of
the brave:
To this proposition We stick
We're free t. enjoy what our tastes chance
to crave
And bold enough, likewise to kick
So here's salutation to one who offends
BY assuming right all his own
Howeer he opprcsses his sensitive friends;
The chap who is soaked with cologne. 2
He wouldn't pass counterfeit money; not
he.
And yet he is struggling to pose
With results, which, alas from deceit are
all free.
AS fragrantly blossemng rose
And when you're at lunch the aromas YOU
like
Seem stranger than any ozone.
AS the Justification of violet you strike
From the chap who is soaked with
cologne.
And the cherished cigar which you think
to enjoy,
As you stroll after dinner. at dusk.
Develops rank flavors that taicken and
cloy
With suggestions of old-fashioned musk
A climax of comfort is shattered straight
way.
A loss for which naught can atone
Is suffered, as gaily he wanders his way;
The CHAP who is soaked with cologne.
