Primitive Chronology.

The most primitive method in chro-
nology is that which enables man to
orient himself in the world OF time by
associating particular lunations with
vicissitudes of weather, with seasonal
aspects of vegetation, and with the
constantly changing sights and sounds
of the animal world. In the calendar
Of the Crees, for example, says the
Popular Science Monthly, we find such
designations as "duck-month," frog
moon" "leaf-moon." "berries-ripe-
month" "buffalo-rutting moen,"
"leaves-entirely- changed" %eaves-in-
the-trees," fishing-catching MOON"
"moon-that'- strikes the earth cold"
'coldest-mOon, ''ice-thawing- moon"
"eagles-seen- moon" So in the calen-
dars OF Central America and Mexico.
the months are named variously after
the arrival of the birds, the blossoming
Of flowers, the blowing of winds, the
return Of mosquitoes, and the appear
ance Of fishes. The Greeks constantly
used the movements OF birds to mark
The seasons: the arrival of the swallow
and kite were thus noted. Hesiod tells
us how the cry of the crane signaled the
departure OF winter, while the setting
CT the Plelades gave notice to the plow-
man when TO begin his work. The Incas
called Venus 1.-The hairy" on account
Of the brightness OF her rays, just az
Inc Peruvians named her the eight
hour torch" or tine twilight lamp"
from the time of he shining.

We heard the hrushwood cracking

our Weapons and waited, says a writer
in Blackwoode. We saw advancing to-
ward US an enormous bear, whose great
eyes cleaned sayagely in the pale light
as he came near. Now he was within

MAY WHEAT STRONGER
SHIPMENTS HEAVY AT THE SEA-
hoard AND PRICES ADVANCE I-2C.
Crop Damage Again Being Used by the
BuJIs-COrn Rises-PrOviSOns score
Marked Losses.

HICAGO Feb. 27.-Enormous clearances and
big exports to-day, in addition to circulation of
numerous crop damage reports, strengthened
wheat and May left off at an advance of asGEc.
Corn rose hc and oats closed a shade higher.
Pork lost 1714q2Oc. lard &C and ribs 21kq5c.
Freezing temperatures to-day throughout the
winter wheat belt, where there was heavy rain
yesterday and Saturday, caused a good deal of
| anxiety regarding the winter plant ana the mar
ket opened very firm. May started &c higher at
S3s0731kc but met considerable selling by scalp
| ers, brought about by Indifferent cables, and the
price sagged to 73c. The weakness did not last
long, however, as Russian shipments last week
were found to have been only $4,000 bushels, and
the receipts at domestic points indicated some
reduction of farmers deliveries. Chicago receipts
were 1913 cars, of which only twelve graded con-
tract. Minneapolis and Duluth got 44 carloads,
compared with 660 a week ago and 362 for the
same day last year. Worlds shipments to Europe
for the week aggregated 6,S24,00O bushels, the
greater portion coming from this country. The
visible supply showed 3O2. 900 bushels increase,
which about satisfied the expectations concerning
it. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour
for the day exceed 1,OOO,C COO bushels and New York
reported fresh export sales OF forty-three boat
loads. The downward tendency Of foreign mar
kets. however, somewhat dampened the spirits
of the bulls and prevented the full fruition that
might have otherwise arisen from those two an
nouncements. May did not get above bee and
closed at 1850.
A smaller increase in the visible than expected,
large clearances and moderate receipts strength
ened corn. Commission houses and elevator con-
Germs bought freely. but at the improvement
| realizing set IN and part of the gain was lost. Re
ceipts were 4S cars. May opened bGAc higher
at .86AG369sc. rose to S67Bc. sold off to S6Ac and
closed at S65sc, sellers.
There was a good demand for oats from con-
Germs who were taking off hedges on cash lots
for shipment and the market ruled firm through
