HOG MARKET,
TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Aug. 21.-The weather
map reported clear skies in the spring
wheat belt which was very much de-
sired by shorts. Minneapolis had but
lS7 cars against 412 a ar ago while
Chicago had 3O6 against 143 last year,
The cash business shows marked i'm
prcvement. AS long as the cash article
commands about &c premium over the
SEPTEMBER it is folly to look for more
than temporary recessions.
Corn, after opening firm was offered
freely. Receipts were but 10 cars, Is
of which graded contract. This would
indicate that the choicest of last years
crop has been reserved lor fancy prices
or that some of these very light trans
fers at Chicago.
Oats were in active demand this
morning from the tap of the bell.
There were but 210 cars while under
ordinary conditions they would be run
ming upwards of 500 cars daily on ac-
count Of prices.
Provisions caught the crowd una
wares and shortly after the opening
recorded an advance CT IS cents for
the September pork. This was due
largely to the strength in corn and
light run Of hogs.

Don't Be a Second Class Man.

You can hardly imagine boy say
ing: II am going to be "a second class
man. don't want to be. first class
and get the good jobs, the high pay.
Second class jobs are good enough for
me-" Such a boy would be regarded
as lacking in good sense if not in san
ity. You can get to be second class
man.. however, by not trying to be a
first class one. Thousands do that all
the time, so that second class men are
q drug on the market, remarks Sue
cess. .~sr
Second class things are only wanted
when first class can't be had. You
wear first class clothes if you can pay
for them, eat first class butter, first
class meat and first class bread, or, if
you don't, you wish you could. Second
class men are no more wanted than
any other second class commodity.
They are taken and used when the
better article is scarce or is too high
priced for the occasion. For work
that really amounts to anything first
class men are wanted. stE :.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Sa1piglossis is a pretty, snowy an
nual, easy to raise and worthy a place
in the garden.
The birch grows farther north than
any other tree. Next comes the ST.
berian larch and then the fir.
The dark spot in the center of a bean
blossom is the nearest approach to
black that occurs in any flower.
Sunfowers may be transplanted quite
easily if the work is done on a rainy
day or in the cool Of the evening.
Preserve a green lawn in the center
of the garden, however small. This is
needed to set off the flowers and for
purposes of relief.
Mignonette is so unobtrusive that its
presence is often betrayed by its sweet
scent merely, but a large bed of mi
gnonette should be in every garden.
Dissolve fresh lime in water. allow
sediment to settle and saturate earth
in which small, white worms have
been noticed with the clear solution
thus made.
That "it is never too late to set out
roses is true word about gardening.
But 'the earlier the better. so long as
the frost is out of the ground" is a
maxim no less worthy of dependence.

4 SHINY Monster

For sheer ferocity of appearance, un-
redeemed by any milder facial attri-
butes. lizard called after "Moloch hor-
rid king Moloch horridus is pre-emi-
nent among reptiles. The body of this
Australian reptile is so covered with
spines that, as it has been put, nature
seems to have endeavored to ascertain
how many spines could be inserted on
a given area. But, unlike it's tutelarv
deity, who seems really to have spelled
himself Molech, the lizard does not de-
mand the blood Of children. 1t is, in
deed, vegetarian and only fiery in that
it has curious faculty of absorbing
and drying up water. A specimen
placed in a shallow dish was observed
to attract the water like piece of
plotting paper.-Westminster Gazette.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
PLAcEBo PRESCRIPTIONS.
An Old Doctor Tells Secret of His
ProfessiOn. q;

I
'Never tell patient that there is
nothing the matter with him. said the
old doctor, who was revealing the Sc
crets of his profession. IF you do, you
make lifelong enemy and lose your
patient, who sends for another doctor.
Give him something, if it is only flavor
ed water. If the disease is only imagi-
nary, cure the imagination with a
harmless dose, and your patient gets
well. In the profession we call such
prescriptions 'placebos,' and more won
derful cures are effected by placebos
than the world wots of. So, also when
you run across patient who an
nounces the first thing that he cannot
take certain sorts of medicine, don't
tell him he must. Agree with him and
give him the medicine, if he needs it,
in disguised form.
"There are thousands of people who
labor under the conviction that they
cannot take quinine and will tell you
that they have never taken it in their
lives, while at the same time they may
be taking large doses Of it. The taste
of quinine is hard to disguise, but if
administered in a pill the patient can
be made to take it and never suspect
what he has swallowed. The trouble
is the patient is apt to recognize
quinine pill by its appearance, to sus-
pect, bite into the pill and thus dis
cover your ruse. To obviate this diff
Guilty druggists now have pills of qui-
nine made in odd shapes and colors.
Pink pills, containing nothing but qui-
nine and little harmless coloring mat
ter, are favorite form for use in cases
where an antiquinine crank has to be
medicated. In giving placebo it is not
wise to have it taste too well. The pa
tient is apt to suspect if you do. And
be sure that you grayely impress upon
the patient that only teaspoonful is
to be taken at time and that at stated
intervals. The whole virtue Of place
bo exists in the solemnity and impor-
tance with which you surround it,

Pats Trouble.

Pat had come over to America with
the expectation of finding money lying
around loose, only waiting for some
one to pick it up. OF course this was
long ago. Pat had soon become disil-
/ lusionized and was always glad to get
hold Of odd jobs which would net him
little something to help him keep
body and soul together. Finally, be-
g coming tired Of the struggle, he de-
cided to end 1t all and was very indus.

GULF STREAM MARKS.
The Course of the Flow Through,
the Ocean Plainly Indicated.

The Course of the Flow Through
the Ocean Plainly Indicated.
The color of the stream is percepti-
bly, deeper blue than that of the neigh
boring sea, this blueness forming one
of the standard references of the nau-
tical novelists. The depth of color is
due to the high percentage of salt con-
tanned as compared with the cold green
water Of higher latitudes, observation
having shown that the more salt held
in solution by sea water the more in
tensely blue is it's color. Thus even in
extratropical ATTITUDES we sometimes
observe water Of beautiful blue col.
or, as for instance, in the Mediterra-
mean and in other nearly landlocked
basins, where the influx of fresher wa
ter, being more or less impeded, the
percentage of salt contained is raised
by evaporation above the average, says
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another important fact in connection
with the stream Is its almost tropical
temperature, due to the fact that its
high velocity enables it to reach the
middle latitudes with very little loss
Of heat. Upon entering it's limits the
temperature Of the sea water frequent
" shows rise of ten. degrees and even
fifteen degrees. It was this fact that
gave to the stream in the later years
of the eighteenth century and the ear
lier years Of the nineteenth an impor-
tance in the minds of navigators that
1t no longer possesses. In those days
the chronometer, invented by Harri-
son in 1765, was still an experiment.
instruments were crude and nautical
tables often at fault.
The result was that the determine
tion of the longitude was largely a
matter of guesswork, vessel after q
voyage from the channel to America
often being out of her reckoning by de-
grees instead of by minutes. The idea,
{ first suggested by Benjamin Franklin,
that the master of a vessel, by observ-
Ing the temperature of the surface wa
ter, could tell the moment Of his entry,
into the gulf strea and could hence
fix his position to within a few miles
was hailed with delight
The method was published in 1870
by Jonathan Williams in work
lengthily entitled 'Thermometrical
Navigation: Being a series of expert
ments and observations tending to
prove that by ascertaining the relative
heat Of the sea water from time to
time the passage Of ship through the
gulf stream and from deep water into
soundings may be discovered in time
to avoid danger" In this work he
makes a patriotic comparison Of the
gulf stream to a streak of red, white
and blue, painted upon the surface of
the sea for the guidance of American
navigators.

The Home of Eng1and,s wealth,

The Bank Of England generally con-
tains sufficient gold in sixteen pound
bars to make 100000 sovereigns.
The bank, which stands in three par
ishes, covers three acres of ground,
and, as the current price of land in the
vicinity works out at f1,OOO,0OO an
acre, it is easy to form an idea Of the
money value of England's wealth, The
ratable value is about f1,O00 a week.
The bank employs about 1000 people,
pays a quarter of million year in
wages and f35,00O a year in pensions.
There are f25, 100000 worth of notes in
circulation which have been handed

PKECUCIOUS AUTHORS.
Successful Plays That Were Written
-5'I by Boys In Their Teens.


Was a successful play ever written
by. boy of fourteen? asks a CORE
spondent. Yes. This seeming mirac
has happened at least three times. The
best known example of the precocious
playwright is the celebrated Lope de
la Vega, the most prolific dramatist
known to history. He produced his
first play, comedy, entitled La Pas
toral de Jacinto," before he had COM
pleted his fourteenth year, and this
was considered such marvellous per-
formance that he is known to this day
in Spanish literature as 'the Prodigy
of Nature AnothSia spaniard and con-
temporary of La 1aga, Pedro Calde-
ron, wrote his first play when he was
thirteen. Metastasio wrote his tragedy
sGiustilo" and had it produced when
he was fourteen on the stage at Bo.

SWIMMERS CRAMP.
It Is Not. So Very Dangerous If Il
Victim Will Keep Cool.

1T Is Not So Very Dangerous If the
Il Victim VIII Keep Cool.
If swimmers could be trained to keep
cool under all circumstances, there
would be comparatively little drown
ing among bathers and summer pleas
ure seekers. Cramp is usually assigned
as the cause when some good swimmer
browns. But cramp ought in reality to
be nothing serious. Usually lis affects
only an arm or leg or maybe only a
hand or foot. Any moderately good
swimmer can keep afoat with one arm
or even without the use Of that, yet
good swimmers drown often as result
of cramp. II such fatalities were ana
lyzed, they would be more properly
classed as drowning from fright and
loss of nerve. This comes from the fact
that every one is taught in childhood
to fear the water and comes as "a
grown man and swimmer to fear
cramp. The average opinion is that
the man who is attacked when swim
ming in deep water Is as good as
drowned. Therefore, when swimmer
feels a leg or arm begin to cramp he is
frightened in most cases entirely out
Of his wits. He loses his head, begins
to splash and paw and struggle and
then goes down. VI 5@s s..s 3.3 .55:55S5
What the swimmer should remember
is that he can keep afoat with very,
very little effort if he will turn on his
back and keep his chest inflated. It Is
the simple matter Of floating, which
every swimmer knows and finds very
easy. If the swimmer will keep cool
and float, the cramping limb will fire.
$quently relax after little and he will
find himself as well as ever. Outing.

Seven thousand years ago there We're
trades unions in Nineveh and Babylon.
and SO strict We're their rules that in
some cases the penalty of death was
inflicted for infringing them. Each
mans work was strictly defined, and
even the number Of hours that he was
allowed to work was stated in the
charter Of his guild or union Later
exactly the same state of affairs ex-
listed in Pompeii and Inscriptions have
been discovered stating specific ap-
pointments of officials to trades unions.
The most powerful of these appears
to have been that of the Fishermen's
guild.

II Following the English style, dinner
Is q full dress and ceremonious affair.
After dinner. comes the promenade
along the. esplanade, charming walk
around the old battery overlooking the
prison, says the Catholic World. Our
way borders the sea; behind us lies
the city, with Its Moorish towers, it's
red tiled roofs; back of it rises Mount
Ancon; to our left is the little Indian
hamlet Of La Boca, at the mouth of
the Rio Grande, and the green hills Of
the Andes in the distance; along the
horizon oceanward stretches the bay.
What words can describe it? A study
in color as the rays of the setting sun
turn to crimson, green and gold its
islands; the stately palmetto trees that
fringe it's banks, the white beach and
far away the ancient towers Of San
Anastasius, sole landmark fof the once
beautiful city Of old Panama. ..
The story of this beautiful city, old
Panama, reads like one Of the ro-

Of aromatic wood, hung with costly
tapestries, adorned with paintings and
sculptures that a king might envy;
its 300 magnificent churches, with their.

Goes Of pearls and precious stones; it's
pleasure gardens; its broad driveways,
chief Of which was the kings high
way, over which the royal horses bore
the treasures to Puerto Bello and the
ships ready to sail with them to Spain.
Into the midst Of this Asiatic splendor
came Morgan and his buccaneers, and
this struggle, one of the most memora-
BILE on our continent, the first of white.
against white, led to the destruction of
the flower Of Spanish chiyalry and the
capture of Panama. So pass the glo-
