LOCAL GRAIN STOCKS
SHOW LARGE DECREASES.
Amount of Public Wheat I'm store &c.
Receipts 75O Bushels for Week.

Local wheat stocks decreased 3ss bu this
week. Receipts Of wheat here this week amount
ed to only $50 Blu. the smallest receipts for a
long time. IN the face OF the small public re-
ceipts and the increased output of -four over last
week it is somewhat surprising that the wheat
stocks did not decrease nearly 5000 bu 1t is
thought the mills used at least $4,000 bu this
week.
Public receipts last week amounted to $3.50
bu. There are no indications Of larger move
ment of wheat here next week, and II is not
improbable that the stocks will show large
decrease next Saturday.

Corn stocks decreased 1900 bu the past week.
The stocks according to the Board Of Trades
weekly statement yesterday. amounted to $500
bu. as compared with $1,000 blu last Saturday.

The stocks yesterday amounted to 10000 blu. Two
hundred and eighty thousand bushels or corn
were inspected the past week. and 800 Du OF
oats. There is no rye in public houses here now;
The Indianapolis mills put out $40 bris OF

COTTON MARKET MORE QUIET.
Session Opened Weakly on Less Fla
vorable Cables-GOod Buying.

IAIDcrt r. thompson q co. WHeI
NEW YORK, Dee. 5.-The cotton market
started weaker and Irregular, owing to less
favorable cables than expected. but with very
much less excitement than Of late. There was
very good buying, however, around the low
prices and II was apparent that many commits
sion houses had standing orders to buy just
such a reaction.
For this reason offerings were readily absorbed.
and advance of several points ensued. A
prominent local bull house was free buyer,
which also had a tendency to give frmer tone.
Sentiment. however, is decidedly mixed, and the
English attitude will have considerable do
with the situation for some time 1t Is reported
that the Manchester spinners will largely curtail
production. which will tend to restrict higher
prices.

VENTILATING A WHOLE CITY,
How "A Montana Copper Company Pro-
tected the Citizens from
Poisonous VapOr.

Citizens of Anaconda, one of the cop
per cities Of Montana, are sorely af-
ficted with the sitting vapors that
have assembled from the chimneys OF
the smelters. Loaded with the fumes
of arsenic, anthony, zinc and sulphur
ic acid, these vapors have been any
thing but agreeable or healthful.
Experiments looking to their ellmi-
nation have been carried on for several
months, according to the Portland Ore
CONAN. and it has finally been discov'
cred that by cooling the gases of the
volatilized compounds they will con-
dense, and by building fues sufficiently
large so that the velocity Of the gases
will be very low, the condensed parti-
Giles will settle at the bottom of the
fue, allowing only the permanent gases
to escape. These are not injurious
either to vegetable or animal life, hence
It is thought that the "smoke nuisance"
of the copper city can be abated.
A fue 60 feet in width and 20 feet
deep Will ne cOHSNl uStcu At OiNV III cOh-
nection with the new smelter of the
Anaconda company, which will pass its
gases into monster stack 30 feet in
diameter and 300 feet high, delivering
the permanent gases and products OF
combustion at an elevation so high
above the valley that no trace of theil
fumes will load the air of the town OF
the valley below. The expense will be
enormous, but if there is a business
that can stand it, it is the copper bust
ness. The effort of the company ia
abate this disagreeable feature of its
industry cannot be charged wholly to
its regard for suffering humanity, since
1t was undertaken to quiet clamoI
raised against the location Of its new
reduction works.

The very next day the servant came
running upstairs and gasped out:
"Oh, ma'am! Oh Mr.. Jones! The
baby! He's swallowed half bottle
of loddynum, and"
"Good gracious!" shouted Jones,
jumping three feet into the air and
yelling like a hooligan, THE chiId'll
be dead in ten minutes. What are we
going to do? Run for the doctor!
Get some of the neighbors in! Are we
all going to sit here and see the
child die? We must have help!
Help! Murder! Can't you think of
something to do? Here, what'd |
read the other day? I told you to
remember it. It said half a glass
of salt to a teaspoon of water and
a cup of mustard, didn't it? Ny
world has the child got to die while
we all sit here doing nothing? Give
him warm water and soda! Run your
finger down his throat! Do some
thing Put your head out of the
window and yell for help!"
And while he was doing so him
self, and a crowd was collecting iii
front of the house, Mrs. Jones, who
had said not a word discovered that
the child had swallowed nothing but
a teaspoonful of vanilla sirup.

FOR TWENTY YEARS
HOW SOME MEN WORK.
Curious Ways of Preparing Them-
selves for Their Various Tasks
and Occupations.

1t is curious to watch the prepare
tons that men make before settling
down to hard work. In large Office,
for instance, lNre are some of the
peculiarities one notices, says the Bal
timore News.
One man takes off his coat and cuffs,
puts on his hat, lights his pipe and is
lost to his surroundings for greater
or less time.
His neighbor buttons his coat up
quite to the chin, puts his hat on even
ly, and with great care sits down to his
typewriter, where he works away like
machine for hours at time.
Another worker, when he has some
thing really hard and strenuous to do,
sits down at the typewriter of one OF
his fellows and pegs away. Nothing
could induce him to stay by his own
vine and fig tree, and when the other
fellow comes in and demands his pos
sessions he processes himself much
aggrieved and utterly unable to think.
Then there is the worker who shows
that he is thinking by tearing off pieces
of paper and throwing them abstract
eddy on the floor.
His neighbor draws, not skeletons
like Tommy Traddles, but true-loyers'
knots and sprigs of holly.
For all the men who put on their
hats to go to work there is one VINO
takes his off. He is an artist, and it is
shocking to have to chronicle that he
also takes off his coat, his collar, his
tie, his cuffs and his vest. Thus unen-
numbered he feels that he can enter
the race and get off a cartoon in double
quick time.
One rumpleS his hair into the untidi-
est condition possible, and another
smooths his, as he thinks, until it is OF
the slipperiness of glass.
One makes notes in shorthand and
another "Slaps" the dust off the desk
with his handkerchief before he begins
and lays every paper even. All, save
one, use but two fingers in writing on
the typewriter. but manages to do
great execution with these two.
The back of the head is the part
that every hard worker selects for his
hat. Once there, he seems to feel that
his foot is on his native heath and that
his name is MacGregor, and he defies
anyoneto break up his train of thought
1t is all very interesting, and gives an
excellent opportunity for the intelli-
gent to study natural history as it re-
| lates to the genus man.

Andalusian specters.

Upon mountain in Andalusia
quaint spectral forms are frequently
seen. Whenever there is heavy mist
and persons are ascending the noun
tains they appear in all their ghostly
splendor, and sometimes so suddenly
as to strike dismay into the hearts of
those who see them for the first time.
Of course, it is all a trick played by the
sun. When a mist partially shrouds
the mountain the sun is naturally OBJ
scured, and then reyenges himself by
projecting the shadow of any person
who is ascending the mountain, until
it assumes the form Of a gigantic spec
tern. Y. Herald.

SAVING THE CHILD.
What Jones Said He Would Do and
What He Did Do In u Critical
situation.

"If a person swallows poison by
accident or purposely, instead Of
breaking out into incoherent and
multitudinous EXPLANATIONS, dispatch
some one for the doctor"
THAT sounds sensible" said Jones,
as he read the above advice aloud to
his wife one evening, relates London
Tit-Bits. Then he read:
Meanwhile run to the kitchen, get
half a glass of water, put into it a
teaspoonful of salt and as much mus
tard, catch firm hold of the per-
sons nose, and then down with the
mixture"
"There, my dear" said Jones. to
his wife. YOU'D better bear that
in mind in case one of the children
should accidentally get hold of poi
son and l shouldn't be at home. But
you women lose your heads at the
very time you ought to be self-pos
sessed and have all your wits about
you"

"Tha,'s easy. L suppose any girl

ceived.
''Most people think So" continued
the proprietor, as he settled himself
for an argument. IF you were in

would find out different pretty quick

INHALATION OF SMOKE.
PernicIous Habit of Tobacco SmOk-
ers That Is Harmful to
Vital Organs.

On the labels of some boxes of
cigarettes at present being sold to
the public is a statement to the eff
feet that the cigarettes are made of
the purest tobacco and paper obtain
able, and that, therefore, the smoke
from them may be inhaled safely
and without irritating the respira-
tory passages. We do not hesitate
to say that such a statement is high
ly mischievous and that the practice
of inhaling smoke into the lungs Is
attended with considerable risk to
the health of the smoker, says the
London Lancet.
1t is to be feared that the cigar
cite is responsible largely for the
prevalence of this Objectionable hab-
1t of inhaling tobacco smoke; the
pipe or cigar smoker is, as a rule,
not addicted to it because probably
the smoke is too strong or too IT.

smoke of a cigarette may be unir.
ritating does not minimize the evil
effect of drawing the smoke into the
lungs, for by this method the alb
sorption of the poisonous constit-
uents Of tobacco smoke land all to-

ous) is very rapid, these entering
quickly into the circulatory system
by way of the pulmonary capillaries.
Even in the mouth and nasal pas
sages there is some amount of abb

pared with that which takes place in
the lungs. The practice Of inhaling
tobacco smoke is, therefore, strongly
to be discOuntenanced, and vendors
Of cigarettes should refrain from
printing on the boxes mischieyous
statements such as that to which we
have alluded.
There Is no reason for believing
that smoking tobacco in a rational
way is productive of harm; on the
contrary, it is the common expert
ence that when moderately INDUCED
In, it serves to allay restlessness and
irritability, but the sequel to the
habit Of inhalation may, indeed, be
dire, the heart and nervous system
being chiefly affected. Yet many
cigarette smokers inhale the smoke
into the lungs, as may be seen from
the fact that very little of the smoke
which they draw from the cigarette
is afterward elected,
