the dangers Of railway travelling, nor the
few, murders that occurred which
brought down. the average longevity OF
human, life from 100 years to fifty years
They must seek for more subtle murder
ers than that. Every year 100000 babies
were born in England and Wales. II
they took 1000 600 children, and saw what
was likely, TO- be the end of them, they
would find that 10000 died violent death

would succumb to the mysterious diseases
which they knew now to be absolutely
prevantable, because due to germs (tuber-
culosis In its many forms); about 10000

causes such as smallpox, measles and
scarlet fever, only $4,000 would be al

diseases over which the individual had
control were due to mistakes in eating

three classes. and said they would never
succeed In preventing them until they

HOGS REMAIN STEADY
Falling off in Receipts and
Quality Fair.
TOPS STILL AT $500
Cattle Market Strong With
Mixed offerings,

The hog market yesterday was about
steady. There were many varying reports
from other markets as to tone and quo
tation, but the strength Of the local mar
ket was sufficient al through TO hold the
market steady. The quality was per-
haps a little better than the day before
but nothing extra as il was. There were
about TWO loads which were above the
average Of the rest, and the top load was
good. Outside OF these the quality was
only medium and there were lights mixed
IN with every load, as well as heavy
roUghs and coarse stock. The demand
was good and the trading active. There
was nothing which went begging and the
entire line of offerings was disposed of
readily and the pens cleaned up by the
close The wagon trade was light in
quantity and was early wound up. The
car offerings appeared mostly late ia the
day and were bid upon and transferred
promptly. The tops remained the same
as on Thursday, while the bulk OF sales
was Up a point and showed a narrower
range. The feeling was good in the hog di-
vision and fair to good fat butcher hogs
would have sold easily and in the lack
Of them the stuff that did appear sold
without any trouble. All the western
receiving points are suffering from an in
ordinate run Of light thin hogs and this
point is no exception. There are some
few sections which continue TO send in
very fair hogs. but the most Of the re-
ceipts lately are very common and in view
Of this condition the market strength is
well kept up. Yesterday some of the 9TH
er markets reported. closing weak and
there was not much vitality exhibited any
where. This market held steady with the
best sales of Thursday and the arrival
Of better class Of hogs would have been
welcome and corresponding good prices
paid for them. The average weight for
the car hogs was below that Of the day
before, as there were no loads of extra
weight as on Thursday, but with about
the same proportion Of lights and under
weight stuff. The receipts were compar-
ed with the day before and the same day
last week. Some Of the old-time shippers
were in and all were satisfied with their
deals The week viii show up very fair
as 10 volume and the strength Of the mar
ket very satisfactory.
