Want to Feel What They Are Eating,
The inhabitants of Sikas, Turkey,
owing to the oppression Of the tai
gathersr, who, the more industrious he
finds them the more he demands, and
that out of proportion to the means,
have no ambition to lead other than a
hand-to-mouth existence. Their prin.
cipal food is made from unsifted whole
wheat, that has been threshed on the
ground by means of drag drawn re-
peatedly over it by oxen, and ususally
has a large admixture of dirt and
stones. The people prefer this to fine
grade -four, because they say they car
feel they are eating something.

How Are You
This Spring?

Tired, nervous!
Can't get rested?
Tortured with boils, humors?
That is not strange. Impurities have been
accommodating in your blood during winter and
it has become impoverished. This is the ex-
perience of most people. Therefore they take
Hoods Sarsaparilla to purify their blood In
spring.
/. NJ. White, Salem, Or, says:
1.-The members of our family have de-
rived much benefit from the use OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla. NY father was
severely troubled with humor, but it
readily yielded to Hoods Sarsaparilla. I"

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Grade Conditions in the Leading Cities
Of the World.

Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities
OF the World.
Letter furnished proof last week Of
the most convincing kind that his
wheat deal is to be carried through to
the last day of May. An enormous
loan was made-$9, 600, 600 of the
choicest securities being ueed. The
| amount borrowed was away beyond any
present necessities; but the wheat bull
| decided it WAS better fnanciering to
nav interest Oh unused funds than to
risk a demoralized money market at
the very moment when borrowing
might be necessary. Letter now has
the funds in bank to pay for any possi-
BILE wheat deliveries during the next 60
DAYS. AS important as the financial
arrangement was the completion of
plans to hurry the grain controlled by
him abroad and into consumption.
Every bushel Of contract wheat now at
Chicago will be on its way to Europe
within the next four weeks. Up to
the middle of March the railroads were
loading Letter wheat out Of only one
system of elevators-the Armour. The
closing of additional Shipping con-
tracts with the east-bound roads for
5000, 900 bushels started loading at
every elevator system in the city. On
one day last week, cars were taking
wheat simultaneously at the Armour,
the Weare, the Counse'man, the Ma
tional, the Central and the Keith
houses. That means the all rail ship
ments of 2,000, 600 bushels per week.
Some day this week, unless the open
ing of navigation is delayed beyond the
expectation, the fleet of 80 vessels
carrying 1,7OO,O 900 bushels of the Lei
ter wheat will start down the lakes
toward Buffalo. Weather permitting.
5000, 900 bushels of wheat will start
from Chicago this week eastward; will
be at the seaboard by April 10, and
will be off coast abroad by May l.
This Letter movement of cash grain,
now under way for 80 days, is evident
ly going straight into consumption
without at all demoralizing the foreign
markets. The spot No. Northern at
Liverpool Saturday was rs lid, equiva-
lent to $1.14 per bushel there, and
which means better than 95c here in
Chicago; and the spot No. 2 red there
Saturday was Is 71ad,which at the low
rates of freight paid by Letter, is better
than 9Oc at Chicago. Letter has been
making sales at figures better than
these

The value of the metal production in
the United States during the past year
is estimated at over e762, 600, 900.
This production, says The Engineering
and Mining Journal, not only empha-
sizes the great total value, but also the
immense variety of the mineral pro-
duction of the United States. Not
only is this country the largest pro-
ducer of iron and steel, copper, lead
and silver and of gold, but almost every
mineral and metal known to commerce
is found within our borders and mined

the inventor of an interesting method,
by means of which the wool on sheep.
skins can be converted into velvet. UI
to this time sheepskins with the wool
on them have only been used for rugs,
carpets or the lining Of clothing, and
the wool has been left in the curled OF
combed state. Seeing that the natural
disposition of the innumerable fibres is
perfectly regular, and suited to velvet
ization, the inventor conceived the
idea Of removing all the impurities
from the skin and adjusting them in
such way that the hairs would not

Captain Robley D. Evans, who goes

popularity in Washington, or in the
navy department.. The captain is
quoted as having said recently that if
he had his way there would be
nothing but Spanish talked in - for
the next five years." Evans was in
command of the Yorktown during the
late trouble with Chile, and he wanted
to blow Valparaiso off the earth because
of the insults put upon America by the
citizens of that town. But the navy
department refused, and Evans was
commended for the admirable self
restraint he exercised. Since then he
has no love for Spain. Evans is gener-
ally known as Fighting Bob" Evans.

suaded the department to abrogate it,
and promptly rejoined the service. He
has been in the navy s8 years, and il

Mrs. Burns has been almost foster

II was customary for the younger
woman To ask her advice in nearly all
thlngs that would naturally be referred

cause for her wishing TO break off the

young man was always well dressed
and a capital entertainer. but his lack

ARE THEY REsPoNsIBLEp

A question which is being much dis
eussed among street railroad men. is
as to whether or not the company can
aold Kinney and Calvin respons. bic for
he damages to the cars, should they
pc acquitted at the trial
What gives rise to the question is
he fact that rule 81 of the rules and
regulations of the company reads as
-olloWs: For any violation of the
Jules or orders of this company, or ne
elect of du5y in any way, conductors
viii be suspended or discharged, at the
discretion of the superintendent. and
hey will also be held responsible for
any loss or damage caused by their dis
obedience, carelessness or neglect, and
will be obliged to pay the cost of re-
pairs, or be discharged.
By some it is thought that under this
ule the officials Of the road will seek
o take legal action against Hiney and
Calvin should they escape imprison-
ment on the charge of manslaughter.
Sullivan & O'Connell regard such an
action on the part of the directors as
highly improbable, and say that it
would be of no avail, as neiIher Hiney
or Calvin is in a position to bear any
part of the damages to property re-
sulting from the accident
