given May declined from 67ikc at the
opening to 67hd67Ac. Then buyers became
plentiful. Further confirmation OF dam

minutes. Liquidation, in which heavy
longs were prominent. started. however.
before the price had reached size and
67&4c was received for only a few lots.
Before IL o'clock the price had again been
forced down to SIC, and shortly afterward
66Ac was touched, the low point Of the
day. Beerbohm estimated the worlds
shipments at 100000 bushels. Commits
sion houses were quite heavy sellers dur
ing the decline. Outsiders with wheat
were apparently afraid of a serious slump
and put their holdings back on the mar
ket while there was yet time. May fluc-
tuated narrowly around 66a.c until near
the close and closed fairly steady at 663sc.
There was a narrow market in corn.

SOLDIER eoYs LOSE FILINGS.
Teeth Are Strangely Affected by the
Climate I'm Cuba and Porto Rico.

The soldiers who went down into
the fever-infected island of Cuba dis
covered many strange things about the
climate and it's effect upon them. The
terrific ~downpours of rain, like moth
ing to which they were accustomed.
followed so shortly by blistering neat
for a few hours. were a decidedly now
city. especially to the Chicago soldiers.
accustomed though they were to the
variable weather of this city. But per
haps the oldest manifestation of the
climate was in the fact that nearly
all the men who had gold filings IN
their teeth discovered before they left
Cuba or soon after their return home
that the filings a either loosened or
dropped out altogether.
Whether the gold shrunk or the teeth
expanded under the influence Of The
peculiar climatic conditions is m
thing that returned warriors have net
determined. but certain they are that
some strange thing happened which
made the filings losen and drop out
and the dentists who performed the
original operations have been busy ever
inc trying to explain the why's.
A correspondent returned from Porto
Rico. who spent several months on a
dispatch boat cruising between Cuba
and Jamaica and the other islands of
those seas, reports another q cir
cumstance. The bunch Of keys that he
carried in his pocket from the time he
left Chicago was not only badly cor
roded, but an aluminium tag attached
to the key ring was as badly rusted
and coTroded as il IL were tin. And
these keys and the tag V fell into
the water or were exposed to the
dews by an accident. They corroded
while presumably safe in their owners
pocket.

The LoIlinE Tongue.

A curious relic of bygone days may be seen on house in Berlin. Two black smiths lived opposite each other in that city, whose trade rivalry became the talk of the neighborhood. One day the emperor, William l., who was fond of going about the city disguised as a farmer. in order to 'feel the pulse of the people" rode up to the door of ono of the blacksmiths to have his horses shoe fastened. A daughter of the rival blacksmith. to show her contempt for this customer, put out her tongue and distorted her face with horrible grin. The emperor called together the wood- carvers of the city and offered . prize for the most hideous face of a woman they could devise, and when he had SC. lected the most ugly specimen pro- duced-one with tongue lolling out of its wooden mouth-he rode over with it to the blacksmith's shop. There, to the consternation of the young woman, he ordered that fury's head nailed over tho door as warning against petty spite. Detroit Free Press.

Plain Fare But Good Books.

An interesting anecdote is told by Agassiz of his visit when a young man to Prof. Oken, famous German nat uralist. The professor received his guest very warmly. He showed his visitor the laboratory, and the stu dents at work; also his cabinet, and lastly his splendid library of books per- taining to geological science. collec- ton then the best in Germany. The dinner hour approached, and Oken's enthusiasm gave place to embarrass- ment. Herr Agassiz," he said, with perturbation, ito gather and keep up this library exacts the utmost hus- bandry of my pecuniary means. To ac- complish this allow myself no lux. ury whatever. Hence my table is re- stricted to the plainest fare. Thrice 8 week we indulge in meat; the other days we have only potatoes and salt. l very much regret that your visit has occurred on a potato day" And so these two great men lined with the students on potatoes aud salt, and the students declare that their conversa- ton was both witty and learned Golden Days.

A Strange Marriage.

While woman, aged 26, an ironer by trade, was being charged before the Harlesdea magistrates with bigamy, a curious scene took place. The mother was the chief witness against her daughter, and told how she and the husband had sat in pew in the church while the second marriage went on. The mother said she had told her son-in- law he had better stop the proceedings, but he answered.: "I don't want to. hope he'll be better husband to her than I've been" The second husband, she said. knew it was bigamous mar riage. When she had finished the first husband came forward to corroborate the strange story.-Tit-Bits.

AN oLD-FAsHIONED REMEDY.
One old Boy Who Was Cured by . Stick of Peppermint Candy Like
 That of His Childhood.

They were two old boys with scanty silver locks, and they had many other things in common. memories and host of chestnut.y old stories, from which they brushed the mold whenever they met.
 Their jokes also had an ancient flavor, but they never wearied of telling them. While there were few things they ac- knowledged as superior to the inven. tions of the olden time, for the most part they bewailed the decadence of the world and human nature.
 Then one of them became i'll. And nothing pleased him--not even the best doctor in the country when he came to see him. He wanted old-fashioned rem, edies that had not been heard of in two generations, and lamented the good old practice of phlebotomy and other passed away specifies of materia medica.
 When he was at his lowest his old chum called, bringing a small, mysteri- ous looking package, which the sick man put under his pillow.
 Where did you find it?" he asked feebly.
 Tn little old-fashioned place on q back street, where some nice people have little shop. It's the very same we used to buy when we were boys. l felt that it would cure you as soon's ever saw it."
 I've got stacks of things I don't want" said the sick man, 'but nothing that'll set me up like this," and he greedily mumbled something between his lips, not forgetting to say: Have a bite, too. Maybe you need 1t as much as do.''
 II got some for myself" said the old chum, land it took me right back to when was boy and" Here the nurse sent him away, but from that hour the sick man revived and in few days was up and about. "Id like to know what that other old chap brought him." the doctor said to the nurse.
 Nothing but some pink and white sticks of old-fashioned peppermint candy-they couldn't have helped him any," responded the nurse, looking af- fably over her glasses. An, she was too young to know.-Chicago Times Herald.
