An Appea al.

a letter came few days ago of q
little sufferer in Philadelphia, a sun
sinner, who never leaves her chair; who
is doomed to stay there, passing most of
the time in agony, until she shall be
called home.
The doctor says there is no hope for
her. She has curvature of the spine
and heart trouble Yet there are
days of comparative peace for this little,
patient sufferer, for she is member of
the S. S. band. There are days when
she can read anything that is not too
large to handle. She cannot stretch her
arms to open newspaper, but little
books and pamphlets she can take in
her own childish hands, and find many
ray of sunshine coming into her life.
Here is an opportunity to pass on some
of the New Year sunshine and good
cheer. Write the little "shut in" a
bright letter, send her stamps an. sta
tionery that she may reply; let her
receive many of the little things that do
so much to brighten an invalid's life.
Write to Mrs. Alden, at headquarters,
and she will give you this brave little
sunshiner's name and address.

and provisions We're 21ac to 5@71ac higher
Tor the January products.
Firm cables in the race of the big de-
cine here yesterday were bull factor
at the start and December wheat opened
q shade to Is @Ac, higher at 1889 to
ever. and this fact in addition to the
favorable weather in the Northwest
brougES out considerable selling orders
during the first hour and a weaker tone
developed. st. Louis houses were leaders
IN the early selling movement. With
put little demand December sold off to
IShc. An upturn at Minneapolis, due
TO a better demand for -four and a strong
cash demand. caused sharp rally later
in the day. The bull feeling was by the
comparatively small increase in the world s
Visible supply, Bradstreets report show
ing an increase of 4.195, 900 blu, against
S,949, 900 blu year ago. There was some
influential buying late in the session with
but little disposition to sell on the part
OF anyone. Closing prices We're near the
1880. after touching 1875 @7915c.
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 226,S00 blu. Primary receipts
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of 776 cars, which with
local receipts of 1876 cars, none contract,
made focal receipts for the three points
OF 971 cars, against L. 1874 cars last week
and 1,196 cars year ago.
Corn Weak, Then Strong.
Corn ruled weak the early part of the
session due to mild weather throughout
the West and on the weakness in wheat
Provision interests were again on the
selling side of the market, and there was
an absence of any bull support. The late
strength in wheat stimulated buying of
the part of local traders and the market
turned strong, closing at the top, with
December k@5sc higher at 45Ac, after
selling between 441sc and 45Ac. Local re-
ceipts were 433 cars, with 81 of contract
grade.
Oats were easy at the start under sell
Ing by commission houses with little
apparent effort to support prices. Toward
the close some turned buyers and firm
tone developed, final figures on December
being 1sc higher at 373sc, after ranging
between 36% 0D36kc and 37%c. Local
receipts We're 227 cars.
Provisions were firm at the opening
due to the steady hog market and on
covering by shorts with some demand
from foreigners for December and jan
uary lard. Continued selling by packers
and an attempt on the part of scalping
longs to realize caused a break later in
the day but the loss was all regained be-
fore the close. January pork closed 2hc

polis-Easier grain markets were
the rule, yet prices were off only slightly,
and in the local wheat market the ten
dency was firm even against considerable
selling. December opened firmer at 7S2l
@7SBc against 7S1R@7Sasc Monday and
sold to 1880 and back to 7sac. May
opened around 1880 and on the early dip
went to 78Ac. Trade was not heavy in
any market 1t looked here as though a
good order either way would turn the
market. Local stocks have increased only
$1,000 bushels. and this encouraged hold
ers of December somewhat. Receipts
here were 236 cars.

In and in Chicago and other markets
there was sharp rupture and a jump
of over a cent. Before the market closed

Was Prophet of Evil.

Prof. Rudolph Falb of Vienna is
dead. He had a remarkable career.
He earned an enviable reputation
in the scientific world as a meteorol-
ogist. He wrote on the subject with
care, learning and authority. In his
later years, however, he was largely
d~iscredited among scientific men be-
cause he became possessed of the iuv
that he could foreteii the occurrence
of earthquakes. Some of his guesses
hit the mark, which only added to the
suffering he caused by II pre-
dictions.
In 1898 he predicted that the island
o. Zante, off the west coast of Greece,
was about to be shaken by a I'VE
earthquake. The prediction came
true, and so did his prophecy of an
earthquake on the mainland Of Greece
in 1894.
1t was natural, therefore, that when
he said Athens would be terribly
shaken on the approaching May 5 the
people of that city should be thrown
into great CONSERVATION. Thousands

of them fed from the city, many TAX
ing refuge on ships at the Piraeus.
Nobody slept in Athens the night
before the predicted earthquake, and
thousands spent the hours of darkness
in open places around the city. May
8 was a beautiful dcy., and there was
nothing to mar it except the distress
and discomfort caused by the earth
quake prophet.
In the following year Fab predict
ed an earthquake for a certain day in
Chile, and the people OF Santiago were
thrown into great excitement. Every
railroad car that could be mustered
into service was busy for a day OF two
carrying refugees away from the city.
There was no earthquake. but the
misery and loss inflicted by Falb's
prediction were considerable.
Very little has been heard of Fab
since that time. His seems to have
been a case of a scientific man gone
wrong. After the fever of earthquake
prophecy seized him he never added
anything to the work that had given
him a respectable standing.
