The Amateur Philosonher.

Men boast of their superiority" said
a Chicago doctor who has a weakness for
philosophizing, taking it for granted
that they are far in advance of all other
things that live on earth. 1t is true that
they have some wonderful achievements
to their credit, but did you ever see a
horse, for instance. that was cross Eyed :?
Compare the number of deformities
among children with those of young an
the horses, cattle. sheep, hogs, dogs, cats,
and everything else belonging to the an
many congenital deformities as among
people This undoubtedly is due to the
fact that the animals live more nearly
as nature intended them to than We do
But we mustn't find fault. Think of the
specialists who would be working as day
labOrers If every child came into the
world perfect. And our tailors and dress
makers would all be forced out of bust
ness If nobody had defects to hide We
must never lose sight of the fact that
our shortcomings are arts greatest slim

DRAWNBATTLE IN WHEAT
EARLY WEAKNESS FOLLOWED
BY COMPARATIVE STRENGTH
Statistics Are Bearish and Prices De-
cline, With but Slight Demand -
Market Closes With May Unchanged
Corn and Oats Are Up.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10. - Bearish sta
1stics caused weakness in wheat to-
day, but fair demand late in the day
helped prices. and the close was firmer,
With May unchanged. May corn was
up 1-Sc to lac, with oats 1-8c higher.
Provisions were strong, and the May
products closed from 5@7 1-2c to 25
higher
Wheat ruled weak the greater part
OF the day, statistics being bearish,
advfces from France showing a de-
cidedly favorable crop report, while
the export demand was light and clear
ances small. There was good deal of
long wheat for sale and liberal selling
for short account, and with but a light
demand prices declined, May selling off
TO 40 Sac, after opening LIE lower at
76 7-S@77c. At the decline shorts COW
cred moderately, which caused a slight
advance and prices held steady until
late in the session, when a little better
demand developed, resulting in a firm
er tone. The strength in corn and oats
was late help. May closed unchanged
at II 3-S@77 lie, the top price of the
day
Small receipts, both local and at
primary points, were the principal
strengthening influence Seaboard
clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to $4,000 bu. Primary receipts
were 389,500 blu, against 442,1 100 bu a
year ago. Minnea polls and Duluth re-
ported receipts of 166 cars, which, with
local receipts of II cars, of contract
grade, made total receipts for the three
points of III cars, against 304 cars a
year ago.
Bullish Sentiment in Corn.
The sentiment in corn was bullish on
a good cash demand and on small re-
celptS. There was a fair trade, but Of
ferings We're comparatively light, which
fact contributed materially to the
stronger tone. Commission houses and
provision houses were the best buyers
While the offerings came largely from
scattered sources, with some longs TAX
ing profits The close was firm, with
May Isolde higher at 40 3-8@45 1-2c,
after selling between As 1-Sc and As IL
@45 5-8c. Local receipts were 146
cars, with none of contract grade
The liquidation in oats, which had
Deen going On for the past few DAYS,
was not in evidence today, but in place
OF that there was good buying by local
traders. Shorts were also active buy-
ers, the scarcity of offerings causing
them some anxiety. The sentiment was
nrm throughout the day, and the close
was lie better on May at 35 3-4c, af-
ter ranging between 35 1-2c and 35 IS
"a Soc. Local receipts were small at Y
cars.
provisions were strong in spite of
lower prices for hogs at the yards, but
the volume of trade was not large.
There was good buying of pork and ribs
by some of the packers, which was the
chief influence in advancing prices.
The close was strong, with May pork
up 25c at $17.65. May lard was SO
I LIE higher at 1852 1-2@9.65, while
ribs were II 1-2@15c higher at 1855.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are: Wheat, 10 cars: corn, 1875 cars;
oats. IS cars, and $4,000 head of hogs.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Nearly all eastbound trains of late
have been loaded with laborers who
have completed their work at western
points and are leaving to take up
their work during the winter months
in the pineries. St. Paul seems to be
the Mecca for many of these Ia
borers, especially the steel gangs
which have been employed by the
Great Northern. This week the lat.
ter were paid off and for q time
the railway station at Willmar was
the headquarters for q large number
of Greeks and Italians. These sons
OF toll have been working for some
time in the vicinity of Willmar, and
now that they have received their
hard.earned cash they will for q time
at least "rendezvous" in the larger
cities.

Wore Careless with Fire.

Last Saturday Mr.. Martin Euger
had occasion to 60 out to Gilbertson
Bros ice house near the lake. It
proved to be q very fortunate thing
for the owners of the building. Some
boys who had pre- sumably been out
hunting had built fire near the build
ing, and when leaving had evidently
tried to put out the fire by stamping
on the brands and scattering them.
Some of the live Goals had been kicked
into the sawdust near the base of the
building and smoulderirg fire had
started there. Mr.. Eoger says that
Judging from the size of the footsteps
in the snow the careless hunters must
have been boys of about twelve to
fourteen years of age-old enough to
know better than to start q fire so near
to building and then 60 and leave
it without making sure that it was ex-
tinguished. ,

Additional Argument.

Another argument for the suppres.
sion OF the saloon comes from Ger
many, a surprising source, where a
painstakiug Investigator has been try
ing to find out, by statistics, on what
day of the week most accidents occur,
and at what hour of the day. This is
what has been done by DR.. Wolff, of
Strasburg. He bases his conclusions
on l,O7l cases of accidents among the
working classes. 1t thus appears that
Monday is not less unlucky than Fri
day, when it comes to accidents, and
for this fact he accounts by the state
ment that the drinking shops are most
frequented by workmen in Germany
on the days previous, viz, Saturdays,
Sundays and Thursdays. Fewer &C.
cidents happen on Tuesday than on
any other day CT the week, because on
no day are drinking houses so empty
as on Monday. He has also discov-
cred the remarkable fact that the
hours after breakfast, dinner and the
afternoon rest, are signalized by most
accidents. He attributes this to the
lassitude caused by the work of di-
gestfon, and to the use made by men
OF intoxicants during meal times. It
was not his intention to preach tenn.
perauce sermon, but he has done so,
unconsciously.
