contributed to the break There were 707 600 bushels
at primary points, against 657 600 bushels last wear
seaboard clearances were smal-9600 bushels The
shipping demand was poor-only 5000 bushels sold
here. The seaboard reported its export sales at %
loads. The Modern Miller" helped toward the
closing partial recovery. claiming prevalence of
the Hessian fly and too little moisture. Argentine
shipments Were less than half last year, 80 600
bushels, against 4296010 bushels. The speculative
market is not a broad one. Spectators are gen.

Knocked Her Out with a Look.

While talking of the many notable
people he net during his pugilistic ca
reer John L. Sullivan said one day in
New York: "Once when l was in Sgd
ney I had a suit of rooms directly over
Sarah Bernhard. l never met the
lady, and l didn't much care. She was
jabbering French all the time and was
rehearspg' constantly in her room. l
heard so much Of it that l pretty near
had the, willies. One night l happened
to follow Sarah into her majesty's thea
ter in Sydney. and l had a good chance
to size her up. She was a feather
weight all right, and there was SO much
powder on her face that ! thought she'd
made 9 mistake. She got a look at m
and because | had been so much annoy
ed with her jabbering l scowled at her
gave her the look that used. to scare
the dubs who tried to stay four rounds
with me. Well. sir, Sarah gave one
long, mournful howl and tainted away,
After that she didn't jabber any more,
for she'd found out who was living up
stairs"

An Eolian Harm.

To make an aeolian harp construct a
box of very thin pine, cedar or other
wood, five or six inches deep, seven or
eight inches wide, with a length equal
to that Of the window in which it is to
be placed. Across the top, near each
end, glue a strip Of wood half an inch
high and a quarter of an inch thick
for bridges. Into the ends of the box
insert wooden pins, like those Of a vio-
lin, to wind the strings around, two
pins In each end, Make a sound hole
in the middle of the top and string the
box with small catgut or first fiddle
strings. Fastening one end Of each
string to a metallic pin in one end Of
the box and carrying it over the
bridges, wind it around the turning pin
in the opposite end of the box. Tune
the strings in unison and place the box
in the window. 1t is better to have
four strings, but a harp with a single
string produces an exceedingly sweet
melody.

They Weren,t Fed.

"Some years ago." said a San Fran.
cisco man, "a globe trotting English.
man came into the city by the Golden
Gate. and it fell to my lot to entertain
him. So n night l took him to dine
at the far famed Cliff House. 1t was
a beautiful moonlight night, and from
where we sat upon the porch we look
ed out upon the broad bosom Of the
Pacific ocean,. The moons light made
a path across the waters, and in its
center the Seal rocks lay like a black
patch. The Englishman inquired what
they were and upon my informing him
said: Bah Jove, are those the Seal
rocks Of which l have heard? I'd very
much like to see the seals. l say, nv
man. turning to the waiter, ''caun't
see the seals? Don't you feed them at
nigbt?'
"''Oh, yessir,' replied the waiter, who
was of Hibernian descent, without
blinking an eye. AT 8 O'Clock we al
ways gives them their ham and eggs,
sir
"The. Englishman accepted this sur
prising piece of information without
turning.a hair and announced that he
would surely be on. hand at the time
mentioned. He was; but, needless to
say, the waiter was not"

Getting Personal,

The favorite Scottish method Of deal
ing with sleepers in church was pub
lic1y to denounce the delinquents. The
Christian Leader tells this story:
When the Rev. Walter Dunlap, min.
lister of a United Presbyterian church
in Dumfries. saw a member Of his flock
nodding while he was preaching, he
stopped suddenly and said:
Il doot some o. We haze taen over
mrony whey porridge the day. Sit up,
or I'll name We oot!
Another Caledonian preacher, on like
p%rovocation, cried out, Hold up yer
heads. my friends, and mind that nei.
ther saints nor sinners are sleeping in
the next world"
Then, finding that this general ex-
h%ortation was insufficient to deter q
certain well known member of the
church from getting his nights rest
forward, the reverend gentleman turn.
ed toward the offender and said:
flames Stewart, this is the second
time l have stopped to waken We. If l
need to stop a third time, I'll expose ye
by name to the whole congregation"

Going to Caao..a.

The saying ''going to Canossa' refers
to the humiliating pilgrimage made
by the Emperor Henry ~ to Italy in
the year 1917. Henry had objected to
the claims advanced by Gregory Hide
brand and, refusing to submit, was ex-
communicated by that pontif. The
emperor at first laughed at the sen
tence, but took a more serious view
when he found himself deserted even
by his personal attendants and resolved
on a journey to Italy to make his peace
with the pope. The latter was then at
the Castle Of Canossa, a fortress Of the
Countess Mathflda and situated in the
mountains Of Modena. Thither the en-
peror FASTENED, but the pope refused
to see him save under the most degrad-
ing conditions.
The desperate situation of Henry
compelled him to submit, and for three
days and nights, barefooted and bare
headed clad only in a hair shirt, the
raiment Of a penitent, he waited at the
gate. At the end Of this fearful pen
ance, which was undergone in the
month Of January, he was admitted to
the papal presence, was absolved and
received his dominion as q gift from
the pope. The expression has ever
since been current as indicative of
abject submission on any terms i'm
posed by the conqueror.

The Legend Of the snowdrop.

1he Ae8enO Oh the
An old legend gives the following as
the origin of the %snowdrop: After Ad-
am and Eve had been driven from the
garden of Eden Eve was di~sconsolate.
One day as she sat silently grieving an
angel appeared and sought means to
comfort her. She longed for the flow
ers, but the fast descending snow was
wrapping the barren earth in a robe of
white.
AS the angel stood and spoke words
OF hope to the weeping, repentant WON
an lie caught a snowflake, breathed
gently upon it and said:
"':'ake form, pure snowflake, bud and
blossom and be a comfort to humanity,
now and forever"
In a twinkling the Snowflake changed
into a beautiful flower, as white and
pure as the snow itself, and when Eve
beheld the newborn blossom gladness
and hope came to her heart, and she
smiled through her tears.
Having fulfilled his mission of love,
the angel departed, but where he had
stood there Immediately sprung up a
circle Of perfect snowdrops.
