The door opened, and Clara stood

Going up to the bowed man, she

she raised her exquisitely bound though
somewhat bulky prayer book in her

SILK AND TAILORS.
The Fatter Chinaman Gets the Better
Pleased He Is.

The Fatter q Chinaman Gets the Better
Pleased He Is.
The first person in all the world who
raised silkworms for the purpose of
robbing the cocoon of its soft covering
was the Empress Si-Lung- Chez, who
reigned in China 200 years b. c., says
Lippincott's. She is now worshipped as
goddess Of, the silkworm Once each
year national festival is held in her
honor The reigning empress and her
maidens resort to the temples Of ST.
Lung-Chee and pay her, in flowers and
spirit money, an installment upon the
debt which China owes to her; for did
she not make the important discovery
whereby the poor may earn life's ne
cessities and the rich may rustic in
shining garments?
Perhaps more people wear silk in
China than in any other country; for
plain raw silk is almost as inexpensive
as cotton Even for winter garments
this material is made to serve, with
layers of wadding placed between the
outside and the lining. AS their gar
ments do not 60 out Of style, it Is not
necessary to buy new ones until the
old ones are well worn.
This is a great item of saving for
every one but the tailors; but If the
people followed the example of the
tailors themselves there would be still
less for that craft to do. Like the feet
of "shoemakers' children" the Chinese
tailors, while at their, work, are as
nearly bare as possible When we'll
fattened their uncovered bodies suggest
the animals which Americans inclose in
sly. The more like a well-fed porker
Chinaman becomes the prouder he is
of his looks, for a corpulent man is re-
garded by his Acknowledged brethren as
a high type of humanity.
In the tailors workroom, which is
frequently open on all sides, the passer-,
by may see from five to ten men squat
ted around low, mating covered ia

MINING STOCKS.
PRODUCE.

Chicago, March 4.-The failure of
the predicted cold wave to materialize
to-day, together with large shipments
to Europe during the week weakened
wheat and May closed CSC lower. Corn
lost 1bc and oats B@Ac. Pork de-
clined 121ac. Lard 74@10c, and ribs
5@71ac.
The worlds shipments of wheat and
-four for the week were placed at near
5000, 900 bushels, and the predicted cold
wave, which caused so much appre-
hension yesterday, had not put in an
appearance before the time business
commenced. With such juicy meat for
their morning meal the bears felt lus-
ty and strong at the opening and
knocked 1ac off & the price OF May
wheat as soon as they got good
chance at it. The conclusion they had
evidently come to on observing the
heavy amount of wheat the foreigners
had taken this week, was that the lat
ter did not know what they Were
about as the weekly requirements OF
foreign wheat by importing countries,
amounts to only 100000 bushels.
Corn receipts were considerably
heavier than expected and the dry
weather led to the expectation of freer
offerings from the country in the near
future. That was presumably the rea-
son for the abandonment early In the
session of a considerable sized line OF
long corn. The market felt the ERECT
of that selling taken in connection with
the downward tendency of wheat. and
ruled heavy throughout. May opened
Ac lower at 361a@365sc and declined
to 1914 @36ssc, the closing figure.
Trade in oats was very light and the
market ruled weak and lower with
sympathy with wheat and corn. May
began 1sc down at Csc, touched 2S1Sc
then declined to 277sc and closed at
27B@2Sc.
A further decline in the price OF
hogs together with the weakness OF
the grain markets depressed provls-
ions. Packing interests were moder-
ate sellers and the market continued
heavy throughout the session. May
pork opened at 5071ac lower at S9.3f12
@9.4O, declined to $3.50 and closed at
1921. May lard began sc down at
$40, sold off to $5.35, and closed at
s5.35@5371a. May ribs started 2R@
SC off at s4.77h@4.S0, weakened to
s4.75, and closed at $4.75@4.77A.
