| llhlpd1n for the past week develops
ons" these facts: While senti-
ment has been favorable to better grain
prices, the changes last week, as during
the week before, were really not large
or important, so sentiment has really
counted for little excepting, perhaps, IN
preventing declines. Fluctuations, too,
have been narrow, even though there has
been pretty fair speculative trade in all
the cereals, much of it, however, local
and professional, outside interest being
only moderate.
Shipping and export demands for wheat
have been relatively small, milling de-
mands very fair. while for corn demands
have come hugely again from sections in
the South, Southeast and Southwest,
where the crop of 1901 was largely a
failure The best demands have been for
oats, and for this reason that grain has
been relatively stronger than the others,
best prices on the crop thus far having
been reached last week. Some little i'm
provement in export demands were noted,
The Western situation continues to be
the factor in corn. 1t has not changed
TO any extent within a week, except
that previous predictions of a scarcity are
being confirmed. Husking operations
show that the yield is more disappoint-
ing as work progresses, and this may
lead to a reduction in the estimates by
the Agricultural Department in its final
figures.
Provisions last week, after being weak
and lower on heavy receipts of hogs, sud
denly started up and pork advanced soc
barrel in three days, lard advanced
nearly 1ac a pound, and ribs ssc. The
weeks hog receipts were surprisingly
heavy, being the largest at this season
in ten years, and We're the best of the
year, aggregating PSI, 900, against 241,-
600 last year. At Western points there
was also big run, and receipts aggre-
gated 626,00o compared with $4,000
the previous week. and were $4,000 more
than last year.

Lord Kelvin once surprised his class
by the quick and amusing manner in
which he solved a problem on Sound"
In the midst of an experiment. Lord
Kelvin had ceased lecturing, and was
silently watching, along with most or
the Students the progress OF an exper-
iment. There was dead silence,
which was suddenly and rudely broken
by the sound of a marble, which an in
attentive student had purposely drop
ped. and which continued to roll and
drop, drop, drop, down all the tiers OF
benches until it reached the ground
hoor. Meanwhile, Lord Kelvin had
quickly turned around and observed
where the marble emerged on the floor.
He counted back the number of times
he had heard it drop, and then an

What Great Literature Does.

In the words of one of the most
winning writer's of English that ever
existed Newman-the object
of literature in education is to open
the mind to correct it, to refine it, to
enable it to comprehend and digest it's
knowledge, to give it power over its
own faculties, application, flexibility,
method, critical exactness, sagacity,
address, and expression. These are the
objects of that intellectual perfection
which literary education is destined
to give. I will not venture on a list
of a hundred books, but will recon-
mend you instead one book, well
worthy of your attention. Those who
are curious as to what they should
read in the region of pure literature
will do we'll to peruse Mr.. Frederic
Harrison's admirable volume, called
The Choice Of Books" You will find
there as much wise thought, eloquently
and brilliantly put, as in any volume
of it's, size and on it's subject, whether
it be in the list Of hundred or not

AN OIL QUEEN.

Woman Spectator Whose Income ,Av.
erages $1,000 Week.
West Virginia developments of the
fast few weeks have produced what the
operators are pleased to call an "oil
queen" She is Mrs. Mary Ihrig, for
merly Of Sisterville, now living in the
Tyler county field, where her venture
some spirit and good luck netted her
an oil income that has been averaging
about $1,000 a week for month. Mrs.
1hrig was formerly engaged in the shoe
business at Sisterville, and it was
while living in that busy town of oil
and oil Vaccinations that she devel-
oped the speculative fever. Her shoe
business was not successful, and she
began to dabble in oil. Several small
ventures are said to have netted her
enough to make her confident and will
ing TO undertake the development Of
the most uncertain wildcat" territory
In the state. She secured control of
new territory in the upper end of Tyler
county, and went into the field for ac-
tive operations. Several months ago
she CONTRACTED for the drilling of a
we'll on her land. A series of mishaps
prevented the completion of the job
until Dec. 4, when the drill touched a
pocket Of oil, and small gusher re-
suited. The flow was pretty heavy at
first, but has since settled down to
about $50 barrels day, with every
prospect that the output will be MAIN
tanned. The strike is the opening
wedge in territory that will prove val
liable. Mrs. Ihrig is preparing to put
down other wells just as soon as rig
ging can be hauled to her property.
The woman speculator has fixed upon
several spots upon which her agents
will begin drilling as soon as possible.
She has purchased a handsome home
at Parkersburg and will direct her new
interests from that place. Chicago In.

A private letter from T. Sedgwick
Steele. of this city, says the Hartford
Times, who has been spending the last
three months With his family at. Mount:
KineO House. Moosehead Lake,. Me-.
gives an interesting ACCOUNT Of life IN
that region and mentions an exciting
moose hunting experience which occur
red within sight of the hotel. A big
bull moose, in. crossing. from one point
of the lake to another, was discovered
by those aboard lufck-moying naph--
tina launch, and cut OFF from regaining
the shore. There were other boats and
canoes out for pleasure on the lake, in
Guiding the large steamboat, which
joined in the chase, until quite pro-
cession formed in line behind the fast
swimming animal. In fact, that moose
willinever have another such a follow
ing as long as he lives. The moose was
started from locality called DRY
Point" some six miles from the hotel,
but by the constant coaching and ma
neuvres of the many canoes and boats
was kept from landing on numerous
islands in Moosehead Lake, and di7
rected toward the point on which the
Mount Kineo stands. Soon the guests
of the hotel discovered the fast ap-
preaching moose and the ..comical line
of craft following in his rear, and all
rushed to the shore, the camera fiend''
being largely represented. On came
! the greatest animal of our American
forests, painting and blowing and now
so weary that from the canoes one
/ could pat his back with a paddle. On
reaching the front of the hotel he was
driven ashore for the admiration Of tbs
guests, to many of whom it was the
first sight of this noble animal. After
mounting steep bank and trotting
leisurely across the grass he disappear
| ed into the woods at the rear of the
hotel. While camping on Russell Pond
about thirty miles north of Moosehead
Lake, the waters of which commune
cate with the west branch of the Pen
obscot, Mr.. Steele saw at one time
thirty-two deer running about on thu
shore and playing in the water, and h,
afterward saw moose. There wer'
four in his party at the time, and the.
