inspiring. The result OF this array Of
information was that early short sell
ers were compelled to buy back early
lines at an advance in price. The mar
ket closed firm, My Nc under yesterday
at SSdGS5ac. Primary receipts were
4O7, 900 bushels, compared with $4,000

Local receipts were 20 cars, none of

port clearances In wheat and flour were
equal to 10000 bushels. New York re-
ported Ave loads taken for export.
From early business, induced by large
recelpts-665 cars here-and sympathy
with the opening decline in wheat, the
corn market turned strong and held lts
gains. Small country offerings and
report that the Argentine crop had slf-
fered for want Of moisture were the
chief factors. There was no selling
against the liberal receipts, which also
aided the price. Trade was fairly ac-
tive the greater part OF the session. Lo-
cal interests were good buyers, and a
good shipping business was transacted.

Poor Mr.. Harrison" observed the
justice.
"Yes-poor Mr.. Harrison. You
know him, too"
Certainly; he always spends half
the year at Springfield with his charm
ing daughter. 1t Is hard for the young
lady that her wedding should take
place under such sorrowful circum-
stances
The physician started. Again a
swift. searching glance scanned the old
gentleman's face.
Wedding? At her fathers sick
bcd?"
That Is the reason. He 'obably
knows that the end OF his If Is ap-
preaching, and wishes first to place
his daughter in her husbands arms.
At least that is what Mr.. Edward Har-
rlson told me when he asked me to
perform the marriage ceremony at
Springfield. Under the circumstances,

there"

curled in a smile of cutting sarcasm.
Il heard from my colleague that but
a short time G the young lady was
bound by other ties"
Yes, l have heard so. too. Some
romantic youthful love affair, which
probably was not meant to be taken
seriously. The lover, a young officer,
is said to have entered the Union
army, which. OF course, ended the mat
ter. At any rate, the young lady will
be Mrs. Harrison this evening, II God

"Certainly-if God so wills"
The tone was SO peculiar that even

asked.

There are several species Of cocoa
palms growing in the Philippine archl-
pelago, but the ordinary cocoanut tree
(Cocos nucifera) is the most important.
The Indians make use of 1t In a good
many ways, but only the principal @
need be enumerated. The kernel OF
the nut they use for food, while the
liquid the shell contains makes a re-
freshing drink. II allowed to stand
for some time this liquid forms a very
agreeable milky juice, that 's -c.i3ha3
not only by the natives, but by Euro
peans as well. After the juice has

the c%ocoanut, a kind of wine, called

to ferment, produces vinegar, n when
distilled a kind of brandy that Is high

husk of the c%ocoanut the Tagals make
rope and cords and a material for calk-
ing their boats. From the woody
shells they carve spoons, cups, beads

midribs serve as fuel, and the ashes arc

pillar to support the houses that its

From the roots the natives extract a
red dyeing material, that they chew in

Large quantities of GOA oil are
manufactured in the Philippines. This
oil is much priced by the natives. The
men and women both use 1t to anoint
the thick growth Of hair that adorns
their heads, and 1t thus finds a ready
sale at remunerative prices. 1t is also
used in the lamps that take the place
OF gas burners in the streets, and in
those used by the natives and Chinese
in their houses. Manila exports an

Our National Songs.

In the December number OF the Ma
tional Magazine Is found this reference
to a song that is familiar to us all:
THE story OF Yankee Doodle from
the time 1t vas brought to this
try, Is definite and absorbingly inter
esting. 1t has had a great mission.
With all the derision that has been
heaped upon 1t, 1t Is none the less a
great tune. When M hears the once
ridiculed and rollicsome strains OF
Yankee Doodle let him cogltate the
fact that 1t has been the marching tune
OF all the victorious armies OF Ameri-
al patriots, and has such a universal
sentiment and universal nationality
that 1t will measure the tNad Of COM

Self astery.

He who has mastered himself, who
is his W Caesar, will be stronger
than his passion, superior to circum-
stances, higher than his calling, greater
than his speech. ~Self-control is the
~generalship which turns a mob OF raw
recruits into a disciplined army. The
rough man has become the polished
and dignifed soldier; In other words,
the man has got control of himself
and knows how to use himself. The
human race Is under constant drill,
says o. s. Marden in the st. Louis Re-
public. Our occupations, difficulties,
obstacles, disappointments, II used
Alright, are the great schoolmasters
which help us to possess ourselves.
The man who is master of himself will
not be a slave to drudgery, but will
keep In advance of his work. He will
mo- rob his family of that which is
worth more than money or position;
he will not be the slave OF his occupa-
tion, not at the mercy of circumstances.
His methods and system will enable
him to accomplish wonders, and yet
give him leisure for self-culture. The
man who controls himself works to
live, rather than lives for work.

the tactful lawyer he became in his
maturity. Early in his career ne found
himself as counsel for the defense in
a murder case, with a fussy old doctor
as principal witness against him.
Thinking he saw a chance to be bril-

doctors mistakes. Doctors make as
few mistakes as lawyers" asserted the
old man. "A Doctors mistakes are

reply. "Yes, but a lawyers mistakes

CHAPTER VII.

A horseman, who was evidently q
stranger to the road, was trotting to-
ward Springfield. He scanned every
object very closely, and sometimes
even seemed doubtful concerning the
direction to pursue. He wore civil
ian's dress, a gray summer suit suit
ed to the climate. Now, at a point
where the road branched in two direc-
lions, he checked his horse irresolute-
waited for a carriage approaching him
from behind. It was a light open We
hicle, occupied by two gentlemen. The
stranger, bowling, said:
Pardon me. / am on my way to
Springfield, and don't know whether
to turn to the right or the left. Per-
haps you will be kind enough to in
form me?"

to 60 out OF my way, as l am In a

The rider urged his horse TO a fast

fall behind the carriage. The old
gentleman eyed him curiously.
"yon are In a hurry?' he repeated.
