make up list Of the people who are
entitled to 1.-THE eldest sons of
knights, and their eldest sons in per-
petual succession and SO on to justices
Of the peace and bachelors Of law. But
In modern practice 1t may be said that
every one who wears a collar Is ad-
dressed as ESQUIRE" Yet there is a
curious modesty among Englishmen.

Chronicle The superscription is In
variably plain John Smith or George
Robinson. There are two courses open
to us. We must write Esquire" after
John Smiths naked name, or we must
accept the hint and suppress a suftix

less.

HAS NO STANDING
RULING AGAINST CHICAGO BOARD
OF TRADE.
Judge Adams, of Federal Court,
Holds That Right to Quotations
on Futures Is Not the Kind of
Property to Claim Legal Pro-
lection.

St. Louis, April 7.-Injunctions
sought by the Chicago Board of Trade
to establish the ownership of quota
tions on the future prices of grains and
other commodities were denied by
Judge Adams in the United States dis
trict court, and the dealings in futures
condemned.
The injunctions were asked for in
June, 1901, against the Donovan and
Celia commission companies, of st.
Louis. In the applications for the
iniunctions the Board of Trade alleged
that the quotations for futures were
given to the telegraph companies by
the Board of Trade under contract
which prohibited their sale to bucket
shops, and these were not entitled to
the quotations which were then being
delivered to them by some agency then
unknown. These two cases, brought
for the purpose of making a test, were
dismissed by Judge Adams.
In the decision Judge Adams said:
''The main question argued. and the
one which underlies the whole case, is
whether the property rights, whatever
complaint the plaintiff may have, in
the continuous quotations in question
are so tainted with unsavoriness as to
preclude resort to court of equity by
complainant for its protection.
81 am satisfied" reads the opinion,
"that any of the so-called sales for flu
ture deliveries which furnish the basis
of the quotations are merely gambling
transactions.
1.-THE property which the plaintiff
asks this court to protect by it's injunc-
ton process is the right to monopolize
the speedy dissemination of informa-
ton instructing the public what wagers
are being made on the future prices OF
grain and other commodities by the
members of the Chicago Board of Trade.
Information of the prices made in
other parts of the exchange on grain
and other provisions for actual con-
sumption, for export, or even for the
purpose OF holding for speculative profit
in cases where the grain or other provi-
sions are delivered in fact, or are in
tended to he delivered, might apd I'M
doubtedly would be very valuable to
the public, and such information would
promote legitimate trade and COM
merce, but the other kind OF informa-
ton, conveying intelligence as to the
wagers that are made in the pits, in
my opinion, has no legitimate tendency
to promo, "a commerce of the coun-
try, but on u ontrary, tends only to
excite the gambling propensities of the
public. Such is not species of prop
erty which appeals to court of con-
science for protection. The bills in
both these cases must be dismissed.

Teaching Languages to Parrots.

w "aAoAS"
\ peculiar profession is that Of a
man in Chicago who is teacher of
languages to parrots. The Chicago
Tribune says that while this foreigner
was doing translations and giving
French and German lessons at starva-
ton prices, he CHANGED one day to
talk with parrot dealer, and asked
him If many birds We're sold abroad.
NO." said he, but only on account
of the difference in language. English
speaking parrots would hardly be in
demand in a foreign country"
This gave the linguist an idea. He
took home an uneducated bird, and In
few weeks had taught it to repeat
some short French sentences. After
that he began regular occupation of
teaching French, German and Italian
to parrots instead of to people.
Diet and warmth are important con-
ditions in this system Of education
The birds are kept in Temperatures of
eighty degrees, and are fed on nuts
bananas and other fruit. The lessons
are given morning mad evening. One
word may be pronounced for days to-
gether; later several words are Joined
in the form Of sentence. A clever
bird will learn short sentence in less
than a fortnight.
One important secret is that Of teach
ing a bird to speak opportunity, as II

the moment. If the teacher pulls out

flooding bottom lands.
The shock was felt for over mile,

to rattle and fall from the tables and
shelves. The river is already so blocked
that it is not known how many mil

the stream.
