EXCITEMENT IN
 THE WHEAT PIT Sharp European Mark ct Causes Material Advance in
 Prices. Outsiders Said to Have Profited a
Outsiders Said to Have PrOfited a the Expense of the
 Talent.

The condition of the wheat mar ket is nervous and excited, wheat sell ing at the highest price obtained in many years, in fact yesterdays prices have not been exceeded since the well-remembered Dresbach deal. May wheat sold yester- day at $1 73; December, $1 69. Less than forty days ago May wheat was selling at s1 35 and December at S1 29
 There was very large trade dur ing the sessions of the Produce Ex- change, and strong feeling existed the curb after the closing of the regular sessions. Shippers have been heavy pur- chasers of spot wheat for several days just past
 The cause of the advance comes. from very sharp European market Liver pool futures advanced 2d to 31zd, and cargoes were quoted one shilling higher, While present cargoeS are in many cases local market was caused both by the strong European market and the con- tinued dry weather which has prevailed in this State. Another reason given for the increase in prices is the sharp bidding by millers for milling wheat, as much as $1 80 being paid for only fair milling.
 The Port Costa mills are bringing wheat from Oregon to meet their wants. Both Oregon and Washington wheat is at present in good demand for millers' use.
 As the dry weather in California has practically destroyed the wheat and bar ley crops, buyers are invading the terri tory or the northern Wheat-produclnS districts. For barley, however, there are many substitutes. such as corn, oats and other coarse grains. Already thousands of tons of corn are said to be in transit to California from points east of the Rockies, and local dealers say that there is a possibility of the market being over l burdened with grains for the substitution of barley, whereas wheat consumers must await the harvest of Washington and Oregon.
 The advance in the price of cereals has | been attended with but little excitement; l it however caused three brokers to go to l the wall. otherwise the trade has lived 1 through it without disaster. Probably l the biggest winner is Harry E. Wise, who | is also reported to be considerably ahead

of a red haired person is only twenty

6Mad IfcI.

Some farmers cut corn and throw 1t
over to the hogs, stalk and all, which l
always thought was a waste. The
hogs viii chew the sweet out of the
stalks and spit them out in wads. If
cattle and sheep have access to the
same pasture they will gather up these
wads and eat them, which is almost
certain death. In few days they will
begin rubbing their heads and necks
on every tree and fence they come to,
and continue rubbing till they die.
Sometimes they will rub lle flesh
away to the bone. The fine fibers col
lect around the root of the tongue and
cause an irritation. In this country
people call 1t mad itch."-Mrs. III. e.

CANAL ACROSS IRELAND.
Advantages To he Gained by Cutting tn
Island In TxNn

Advantages To he Gained by Cutting the
Island in Two.
There Is warm approval of the scheme
suggested by f. f. Baines of Dublin
for the economic regeneration of Ire
land, printed in the London Spectator.
Mr.. Baines believes that Ireland has
all the needful elements to make her a
great commercial nation provided the
opportunity is furnished. The interior
of the country is now only indifferently
supplied with railroads. and it is con-
sequently troublesome to make ship
ments of the goods for which Ireland is
famed in British markets, such as farm
products, live stock, etc. Mr.. Baines
proposes to make the ancient city Of
Galway transatlantic port and to con-
meet 1t with Kingstown, near Dublin,
by a canal, which would also connect
with the present Grand canal that runs
nearly half way across the country
BY this means the product of fisheries
of the west and southwest could be
conveyed cheaply to Kingstown, where
fast steamers might rush across the
channel and deliver at Ho,yhead to ex-
press trains that would land the goods
in London in few hours This might
be vastly improved upon if the pro-
posed tunnel is constructed under the
Irish sea. Mr.. Baines thinks his scheme
for the canal would not cost more than

Her Clever Trick to Save a Servant
from Discharge.
King Willem III. of the Netherlands,
the father of the young Queen Wilhel
nina, married second time when he
was well-adyanced In life; and in order
to please his amiable young wife. pur.
chased a very beautiful service of Sew
res porcelain for ordinary use in the
palace.
AS 1t was costly, he wished to have ii
preserved, and accordingly gave orders
that any servant who should break or
injure one of the pieces might expect
immediate dismissal.
One day servant went to the young
Queen greatly distressed. He had
broken one of the delicate teacups. He
had been in the Kings service for
many years, and was heart broken over
what seemed to him the prospect of
being dismissed in disgrace.
The Queen tried to comfort him by
suggesting that the cup could be mend
ed, as it was clean break, and the two
edges could be put together with &C.
ment. The servant shook his head, and
remarked that his majesty had sharp
eye, and would be certain to detect the
crack in the cup at once.
The Queen told him to mend it as well
as he could, and to be careful to serve
the cup to her that afternoon in the
Kings presence at tea-time. The SER
want followed her directions, and with
trembling hand filed 1t with tea and
served her. The Queen turned aside,
drank the tea, and rising suddenly from
her chair, let the cup fall upon the floor,
where ii was broken into fragments.
Think of me as one of the most awk-
ward of your majesty's servants" she
said, with humility. 81 have broken
one of your precious Sevres cups. You
must discharge ME at once. | don't
deserve to remain In your service"
The arbitrary old King was amused
by her demure manner, and considered
the accident very good joke. The
poor servant, standing behind the tray,
cast grateful look in the direction of
the Queen who had protected him. He
remained In the service of the King.
who never learned the truth about the
broken cup.
The consideration which Queen
Emma displayed for the feelings of a
servant was proof of her kindness of
heart. After the Kings death she be-
came regent during the minority of the
young Queen Wilhelmina. and won the
confidence and sympathy of her Dutch
subjects by her unfailng tact and ami

Packing Fruit for Market.

Packing Fruit for Market.
The degree of ripeness should deter
mine the time of gathering the fruit
Host kinds of pears have better flavor
II picked as soon as their growth is
completed and permitted to rlpen off
the tree. All the fruits should be han
died carefully to prevent bruising, and
very particular care should be taken
with the tender fruits. The sorting
should be carefully done, according to
size and color, the wrapping to follow,
but all the fruit should be permitted to
cool before either is undertaken.
Throughout this work, the less han
ding that is given the longer its ccndi-
ton will remain good.
The packing should be done in such
a way as to hold the fruit protected
from jostling and bruising while in
transit to market, but yet it should not
be packed so closely as to prevent the
air from circulating through it freely
Only such fruits should be packed as
are thoroughly sound, free from blem-
ish, of good shape and of reasonably
good size.
Tender and soft fruits especially
should be cooled as soon after being
picked as practicable. The wrappers
should not be close enough in texture
to confine within them the moisture
that comes from the fruit by evapora-
ton, or the fruit will be apt to mildew.
This is often seen on oranges wrapped
In a paper of close texture. The
changes going on in ripe fruit generate
heat, and this should be counteracted
as far as practicable. 1t is said that
even in a well-refrigerated car the heat
liberated from the fruit will often
more than counterbalance the cooling
effect of the ice. Hence, it is important
to have rapid transportation to market
before the heat generated by ripening
process causes decay.-Texas Stock

stricts egg production at this season.
pienty of sunlight is as essential as
warmth to make the hens lively and
healthful. But the single glass narrow
windows, often only single pane, and
that covered with dust and cobwebs
at all seasons, and with ice in winter,
do little good. What are needed in all
henhouses are large windows with an
extra frame and glass with space of
enclosed air large enough to fill most
of the south side of the building. Keep
the place where the sunlight falls free
from manure and fill this with sand or
coal ashes. Fowls viii dust themselves
here, and basking in the sunlight they
will soon begin to lay.
