Mark Twain and the Serpent's Tooth.
Mark Twain's daughter, Miss Clara
L. Clemens, i'll entering upon her career
as n concert singer, had a long con-
ference with n manager. Many mat
teTs were discussed, plans made and
details settled, Miss Clemens debating
her own ideas. The young singer, who
had experienced considerable difficulty
in obtaining parental consent TO 4 pub
lie career, showed her earnestneSS by
the businesslike manner in which she
looked into affairs.
When matters had been fully conSid-
cred and the manager was about to
leave, Miss Clemens said, with the
large determination that small bodies
not infrequently possess:

boiled water In Ancient Times.

Now that the use of boiled drinking
water has become common. it is inter-
esting to be reminded that a similar
method of guarding against disease
was practiced in ancient dimes. Herod-
otus tells how Cyrus had his drinking
water boiled and carried in silver vcs-
sells, and Pliny the elder relates that
Nero had water boiled and afterward
cooled for drinking by placing it in
glass TASKS surrounded with snow.

METAL.

NEW YORK, March 26.-Aside from
the continued firmness in the tin mar
ket the local metal market was devoid
of special feature OF interest with spec
ulation in the former On a small scale.
Trading was confined chiefly to sup
plying immediate requirements. The
advance in tin was a sympathetic one,
following advances from London to
the effect that prices there were about
Ell IS higher on manipulation. The
close was firm at Ellis 15s for spot
and 9113 Us Cd. After opening up
30 to so points, the local market ruled
slow with a firm undertone and closed
firmer at $26 O5@26 so. Copper locally,
continued dull and nominally unchang-
ed, while in London a shade better
market was reported, closing firm at
ESQ IS for spot and G69 15s for fu-
lures. Lead was dull and unchanged
both here and abroad. Spelter, though
continuing it's weakness of undertone
ruled very slow at So $500 80. Do
nestle iron markets were of the usual
unimportant nature. Prices remained
as last quoted. Pig iron warrants So so

CHICAGO, March 26.-Moderate ac-
tivity In corr was in contract to the
quietness of other markets on Change
to-day. The tone Of the cereals was
easier. corn closing h@Ac. wheat n
@$c and oats &c lower. Provisions
were steady, closing unchanged to TIC
higher. (
At the opening the corn market
seemed scarcely equal to the pressure
from longs who wished to secure
profits. OF influence in this connection
were easier cables and better weather
in the west. May opened hc to h@Ac
lower at 42Ac to 42H@42Ac, and de-
clined during the first hour to 42c. Of
fering then became lighter and for a
time the market ruled dull and fea-
tureless. Small primary receipts and
buying by a bull leader later started
shorts to bidding and the market re-
covered sharply to 1850, the highest
price obtained this season for May de-
livery. This bulge met renewed pres
sure from losgs who had withdrawn on
the earlier dip and the market again
sagged, May closing easy A@Ac under
yesterday at 42M @42Ac. Primary re-
ceipts were 431 900 bushels, compared
with 939, 900 bushels a year ago.. Local
receipts were 248 cars, 33 Of contract
grade.
Wheat was extremely trade and the
trade of a scalping character. Senti-
ment was bearish but the impulse to
sell was bridled by fear Of a bull corn
market. Climatic conditions and the
cash situation were still arrayed against
an advance accounting for the humOr
OF the pit, where small rallies were ac-
cepted as invitations to scalp a small
profit or to escape with u slight loss.
May opened unchanged to Nc lower at
75Bc to 75%c, and dropped early to
75Rc. Business for a time was at a
standstill, but later in sympathy with
the corn strength, shorts covered and
sent May up to 75%c. Following this
and also in sympathy with the coarse
cereal, the market eased and May clos
ed A@&c lower at Hh@75%c. Ex-
porters reported only two loads taken.
Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour
were equal to 316, 600 bushels, while
primary receipts were again large,
$4,000 bushels, compared with 495 900
last year. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 1858 cars, against 1877 last week
and 1873 a year ago. Local receipts were
1877 cars, six Of contract grade.
Aside from ~listless trading by scalp
ers, the oats market was entirely over
looked. May sold between 25@25hc
and 24BQ25c, and closed Nc lower at
25c. Receipts were 1927 cars.
Provisions were quiet but averaged
steady on light receipts and higher
prices for hogs. The market was a
trifie easier early on selling by COM
mission houses, but packers took care
of the moderate offerings from this
source. Pressure was mostly on May
pork, which, having opened 10c higher
at $3.50, was sold down to $3.50. 1t
closed unchanged at SIS. 10. Lard and
ribs were comparatively irmer on local
buying. May lard sold between s8.O27s
and $S.07h, and closed TIC higher at
$S.07R, and May ribs between $7.95
and $S.O2k, closing 2h@5c better at
$S.00@8.02R.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, IS cars; corn, 155 cars; oats,
125 cars; hogs, 27,000 head.
