CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago, March 20.-There were a num-
Der of strong factors in the wheat market
at the commencement and traders start
ed business in a bullish mood Gables
were higher and freezing weather was re-
ported in the wheat belt which it was
thought might prove damaging to the
growing plant. The statistics were also
regarded as rather favorable to the buy
ing side.
The worlds shipments were consiett--
bly, smaller than expected and the amount
on passage showed an Increase for the
week of only $4,000 bushels.
May opened asg15c higher at 677sIGSisc.
and as the crop damage claims became
more numerous than ever the price rose
to 6SA@6S3sc.
Apparently reliable reports from both
the Northwest and the Southwest re-
gardng farmers deliveries were to the
effect that receipts were being heavily
reduced, and in many cases were INSULT
cient for the local millers. AS the send
ers of this information backed UP their
claims with messages to buy. shorts be-
came nervous and covered freely, adj
vancing May to 6Slsc. The market ruled
very firm the greater part of the session,
but near the end the taking of profits by
scalpers resulted In reaction to 675sc and
the price at the close was 677sc buyers.
Light country acceDtances and small
receipts strengthened corn, fairly good
speculative business was done at some lit
tie improvement in prices.
A good cash demand and considerable
| buying of July by the country helped oats.
AS the session neared the close, however,
selling caused a loss of more than half
the advance May began &c up at 2Gc,
rose to 26kc, then declined to 25s4 M25;sc
and closed at 251sc.
Provisions opened strong in sympathy
with the buoyancy of the grain markets,
but later lost the advance on selling out
by tired longs, who were evidently await
ing firmness on which to market their
holdings. May pork closed 5G712c lower,
lard 2l2G5c lower and ribs unchanged.

Tricks of a Pet Crane.

My friend has pet Florida crane of which he is very fond. The crane stands at one side by the hour. just pluming himself. then picking at shoe buttons and finger rings Occasionally he is in- dulged in favOrite pastime-t that of taking the hairpins out of his mistress hair. In nature he is as gentle and affectionate as kitten. and as he has never been teased he has no enmity for anything except a dog. One night he was attacked by a strange dog, and since then his hatred for any canine oth- CT than the home dog is intense.
 Dick has always been inordinately fond of his master. whom he makes ev- cry effort to please. It is at his com mand that he will dance. lowing and twirling in the most graceful manner then circling with wings distended around the yard and back again to bow and courtesy as before.
 Another very pleasing recognition of his intelligence is the manner in which he always welcomes his owner. He rec ognizes his horse and carriage as far as his eye can reach, nd~long before the bird is in view his voice is heard trum- peting greeting, which is continued until the master reaches the gate, when at the single command, Louder. Dick r he throws his head back and gives forth a long gurgling note, indicating joy and pleasure. To no one else will he give this welcome. It is uniUue and De- culiar-for his owner alone-

Sunday Trading.

A German shOpkeeper went one Sun. day morning to customer in order to demand the payment of a long neglect ed account. The police heard of this and regarded it as a violation of the new law against trading during the hours of worship. The offender was cited and fined. He appealed to the kammergericht, and was discharged as innocent What the law expressly for bids, said the kammergericht, is any "public or open labor or trading within the prescribed time.
 On the police interpretation two men who talked incidentally about their business relations on Sunday morning on their way to church might be arrest ed as violators of the law, which would be palpably tyrannical and absurd. This recalls the good old tale of two Sabba- tarian farmers who hit upon a casuisti- cal method of doing trade on the Lord s day without breaking the fourth com mandment What would you give for that calf" asked one, eff it were not the Sabbath?'' ''If it were not the Sabbath I would give you so much, naming the sum. Tomorrow. then. we will consider it bargain ''

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad. vanced years are realized by compara- lively few women.
 Their hard lives, their liability to se- rious troubles on account of their pecu. liar organism and their profound igno- rance concerning themselves, all com bine to shorten the period of usefulness and fill their later years with suffering.
 Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make women strong. She has given advice to many that has shown them how to guard against disease and retain vigor- ous health in old age. From every cor ner of the earth there is constantly com- ing the most convincing statements from women, showing the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound in overcoming female ills. Here is letter from Mrs. J. c. Orms, of 22O Horner St., Johnstown, Pa., which is earnest and straight to the point:
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel it my duty to tell all suffering women that I think your remedies are wonderful. I had trouble with my head, dizzy spells and hot flashes. Feet and hands were cold, was very nervous, could not sleep we'll, had kidney trouble, pain in ovaries and congestion of the womb. Since taking your remedies am better every way My head trouble is all gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am cured of womb trouble. can eat and sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. I consider your medicine the best to be had for female troubles"
 The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi- ence in treating female ills is unparal- lelled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pink1am, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as hundred thousand ailinq women during single year.

Theatrical "Props."

Props comprise all the portable 1 cles required in play. Guns and p4s tols-which too often fail to go off at the critical moment-are props; loaves of bread. fowls. fruit, all made of a rough papier mache, are also props. We may also include those wondrous gilt goblets, only seen on the stage, which make such a nonmetallic thud when they fall and bounce upon the boards. as among the achievements of the prop erty man.
 But it is at pantomime time that that individual is at his busiest. Big masks and make believe sausages and vegeta- bles, without which no pantomiDe would be complete. are mingled with fairy wands, garlands of artificial flow CTS, basket work frames for the accom- modation of giants and other articles too numerous to mention

Railroad Pronunciation.

"I regret to say" remarks a writer in the Boston Transcript, "that on the Providence railroad Wrentham has late ly become 'Wren-tham' Ia as in Sam, in the mouths of several brakemen. First we had Wal-tham, similarly tweaged in the second syllable. and ] fear that ultimately we have to submit to Ded-ham in the place of Deddum. Thus do English names suffer in the mouths of those who are quite ignorant of their history. Not merely because it is English, but because it is logical and historical, and because the word 'ham' has it's meaning. Waltham should be Waltum and Wrentham Wrentu1n. A return to the colonial pronunciation to this extent would, of course, be too much to ask, but still for little space. O arbiters of the railway. spare us that sharp in the 'thamI"

DREDGING FOR GOLD.

Mining by means of dredges for gold is becoming popular. Less than ten years ago the proposition was secuted as an impossible one. It is not so today. The Western Mining World. in an article on the subject, says: "The most successful opera lions have been carried on in Mon tana, that at Bannack, on Grasshop- Der Creek, where from three to five millions of dollars have been taken out during the past two years. On the Snake river, in Idaho and Oregon, several of these plants are at work, but so far the results have not fully demonstrated their value. Several are at work on the Tuba river in Cali fornia. as also on the Chestatee in Georgia. The most extensive and successful of this kind of mining for gold has been carried on for years in New Zealand. There are many To- calities in Montana that could be profitably worked by modern machin- cry and no doubt the great success attended at Bannack will soon attract the attention of men interested in this class of mining to take hold of them"

Former Parliamentary Privileges.

The privilege of freedom from arrest enjoyed by members of parliament is confined to civil matters; but, since the abolition of imprisonment for debt, this immunity has been shorn of most of it's utility. Formerly it was very useful privilege. Disraeli says of one of the characters in his first novel, "Vivian Grey," that "the only way to keep him out of the house of correction was to get him into the house of commons. !" Parliament was then convenient haven of refuge for "splendid paupers.
 In one case an English member named Mills, who owed e23, 900 and for whose arrest warrant was in the hands of the sheriff, avoided imprisonment by purchasing a seat for one of the old "rotten boroughs" in 1S07 for the sum of e1, 900. In another case an Irishman named Bourke was confined in the Kings Bench prison about 70 years ago in execution for considerable debt. His friends got him elected for an Irish constituency, but he never entered the house. On his release after election he fled to the continent and remained there.
 Again in 1895 the year before Dis raeli published "Vi7ian Grey," man who was in prison for debt was returned for Bererley, a small English borough, and was forthwith released on 8 war rant issued by MT. Speaker. It was a case in real life of from the house of correction to the house of commons.

No Century Begins on Sunday,

There are some curious facts about our calendar. No century can begin on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The same calendars can be used every twenty years. October always begins on the same day of the week as Janu- ary, April as July, September as De cember. February, March and Novem- Der begin on the same days. May, June and August always begin on different days from each other and every other month in the year. The first and last days of the year are always the same. These rules do not apply to leap year, when comparison is made between days before and after Feb. %.
