Reimports American wheat.

The New York City financial district
was interested in the announcement
that 10000 bushels of Oregon wheat,
which was at Antwerp, had been sold
by the grain firm of McLaren & Muir
to flour mills of New York City and
was to be brought back for manufac-
tnre into -four. This is the first time
in the history Of the grain trade that
exported wheat has been brought back,
for any other purpose than to meet the,
exigencies of a corner. The reimper-
tation at this time is due to the small
crop of wheat in this country this
year and the high prices n6W obtain
ing for it.

How the Cavern Rat Finds It's Way.

The cavern rat, found in the Nam
moth Cave Of Kentucky, is of a soft
blush color, with white neck and feet.
1t has enormous eyes, black as night,
but quite u%nprovided with irises.
These eyes are perfectly insensible
to light, and when the experiment has
been made of catching a cavern rat and
turning it loose in the bright sunlight
it plumbers about, striking itself against
everything, is unable to provide itself
with food, and finally falls down and
dies.
In it's native depths, however, it is
able to lead a comfortable enough ex-
~istence, as its enormously long whis.
kers are so extremely sensitive that
they enable it to find its way rapidly
through the darkness. The principal
food of the cavern rat consists of a
kind of large cricket, of a pale yellow
coler, and which, like most ave dwell
ers, is perfectly blind.-Tit-Bits.

Why Old People Are Especially Liable
to Systemic Catarrh.
When old age comes n, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh IL al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these cases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.
