Denver Live Stock Markets.

DENVER UNION Stock YARDS,

cattie, 100 hogs, 525 sheep, 80
horses; total carloads, 80. Ship
naents,. 2f7i cattle; total cnrloals,
81.
II was rather quiet day ut the
yurds rs the receipts of Southern
cattle were light, only 33 curloads
arriving siDse last report. There
will he good RIM in tonight and
the receipts tomorrow should be
heavy. The market was dull ns
the offerings were lighs. Two
loads came in tno late for the mar
ket, SO the trading was confined To
one load by rail and few head
from the country. The quality Of
the cattle on the ma.ke. was no
better than fair, but all sold Mt
firm prices. There we're only
few beef steers that sold, the best
and bulk bringing $3.50. Eat
cows sold mt from $1,000 400,
bulls Mt S3.15@3.25 and veal
calves at from S4.25 500. Not
enough sales made to base quota
tions on, but the tone of the mar
ket is very firm. There is good
demand for all kinds OF fed cattle
and better supply wanted
Butcher cattle in excellent demand
and that class of cattle are selling
well on the market.
Hog receipts were light and tho
market generally dull. The de
mand for hogs this week is light
and shippers should go slow. Pri-
ces ruled about steady, the one
load on the market selling at
S7.35, which was the top sale
made here yesterday.

The Country vs.. the city Paper,

The Denver Post is running a
series of cartoons which are sup
posed to burlesque the local feat
ures of the country weekIies. To
say that the effort is in extremely
bad taste is putting it mildly 1T
is simply idiotic. As purveyor
of The news of the world, the met
ropolitan daily occupies field of
its own, which is recognized in
every city, town and hamlet. But
there, in point of news service, it's
usefulness ends. In handling To-
cal subjects the country weekly is
far ahead Of the best big daily.
Suppose the Crossroads Harrow
does say that Mrs. Jones' red
heifer had calf yesterday morn

kindness in Il moment than a dozen

the metropolitan sheet takes COL

strong and uncontaminated. The
big daily, so far as local features
are concerned, is foetid mess of
scandal. pictured 10y illustrations

George Schaub, a well known Ger

is n constant reader of the Dayton
Volkszeitung. He knows that this
paper aims to advertise only the best

Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised
therein for lame back. he did not hes
itate in buying a bottle OF 1t for his
wife, who for eight weeks had suf-
fered with the most terrible pains in
her back and could get no relief. He
says: AFTER using the Pam Balm for
n few days my wife said to me, i
feel as though born anew and before
using the entire contents OF the, bot
tie the unbearabie pains had entirely
vanished and she could again take
up her household duties. He is

The Hand In Health.

Let us shake hands with n man, and
we will tell you something about his
health. The firm, hearty handshake of
sincere man may be rather rough, so
that one is taught he has grip, but it
indicates stamina. While denoting alb
sence of tact and refinement, 1T points
to physical strength. The tiabby hand
that returns no pressure belongs to the
person who has no great strength of
body or mind. The quick. nervous
handshake of an excitable, nervous
temperament, and its opposite, the
nerveless, passive one, belong to PEI
sons in i'll health The hand that
threatens to collapse or give means
fear. The feel of the hand called mag
netic indicates health and kindness and
desire to help others. In many ways
we may decide character by the hand
as we'll as by the brain. London Doc

POPULAR SCIENCE.

The sun is travelling at forty miles n
an express train.
The comet of 1s43 was the only one
during the last century which could be
seen in broad daylight.
The solor orb would appear blue to
anybody who should view it outside OF
this planets atmosphere.
The shadow of the moon which falls
on the earth during an eclipse of the
sun is usually about fifty miles in di-
ameter
The moon enjoys 354la hours of sun
light at n time and then an equal
amount of darkness, making her day
equal to 1858 of our day
1t is n law of science that sound can
not travel through Il vacuum. The
sound waves require the atmospheric
conditions for their vibration.
Stars Seem to rise and set, like the
sun, on account of the earth's revoiu-
ton OH her axis. They seem to rise

Affinity Between Horses.

When the Duke of Wellington was
fighting in Spain, there We're two
horses which had always drawn the
same gun. side by side, in many bat
ties. At last one was killed, and the
other, on having his food brought as
usual, refused to eat, but turned his
head around to look for his old friend,
and neighed many times as If to call
him. All care was in vain. There were
other horses near him, but he would
not notice them, and he soon after
ward died, not having once tasted food
since his former companion was kill.

the AMERICAN FLAG.
A. 1t Appeared Long before Detsy
Ross Made One.

NOsN Made One.
Few persons have noticed the inter
esting evolution on our flag of the
stripes and stars as depicted in the ar
mory Of the Ancicnts ut the top of old
Faneuil hall. Most persons are famil-
lar with the story of Mrs. Ross and
the making of the first flag of the free.
But evidently it was not Mrs. Ross
who originated the idea of the stripes.
Down in the alnmory of the Ancients
you will see first the broad red flag
with the old English cross in its field.
Next n very similar flag, except that
the broad red becomes blue, with no
red but in the cross itself on the white
field. Next the white flag, with its
pine tree and appeal to Heaven"
whence came our own state banner.
! Then it would appear that the fathers.
went back again, for the next flag has
the red and white longitudinal stripes,
but in the field there are the crosses
of st. George and st. Andrew worked
out in red upon a white ground. The
next flag restores the blue to the field.
1t. too, has the longitudinal red and
white stripes and the combined crosses
of st. George and st. Andrew, as i'll
the British jack. worked out in rcd
and white upon a blue field. 1t was
not till after that, upon the assertion
OF independence by the colonies. that
Mrs. Ross flag appeared, and appar-
entity she only substituted for the dou-
BILE crosses the circle of thirteen stars
upon the blue field.
The red, white and blue and the red
and white stripes We're all in the flag
generations before Mrs. Ross was
born, as the collection of the Ancients
demonstrates.-Bo Journal.
