WHEAT HITS S MARK.
Var News and Scarcity of Milling Ar
ticIe the Cause,


Chicago, Feb. 22.-Dollar wheat was a
reality in the speculative trade here to-
day. Twice during the day May wheat
sold at s1,0S. The price touched the
dollar mark or the opening sales, initial
quotations being s1.00@1.0 OF, or ls@S 10
1l201Ss cents above yesterdays close.
The other options We're correspondingly
strong. July showing a gain of a cent
There was an excellent general demand,
with active covering by the shorts q
feature. Strength in Liverpool and the
scarcity of milling wheat were the in
t1uence that caused the advance.
Shortly after the opening May sold at
S1.OS, but at that figure the principal
long became an open seller and prices
dropped to 991. cents. AS soon as that
interest stopped selling the price re
bounded to $l.0lA, but eased off 10
sl.00Ss.
Buying continued on 4 large scale
the entire day, II in the absence of
any important selling The price kept
moving upward. May closed AT SI.0e&.
q net gain of SAQSss cents: July at
s23s cents, q gain of rs cents.
Today's prices are the highest since
1891.

MAY GET IN TANGLE.
At Any Rate Great Britain Wants
Be Prepared fo- EventusIities.


London, Feb. 1.-THE complete luli in
war news leads the newspapers to dis
cuss the poliucal aspects of the struggle
in the far east as they are likely TO af-
feet Great Britain. No great importance
IS attached TO the stories published in
Paris and on the continent OF
alleged intrigues looking to the coalition
of Russia, France and Germany, the be-
lief being that ii is to the interest of all
the powers to take steps that the strug-
gle be localized. AT the same time it is
recognized that in all three OF these couu-
tries there is a very strong feeling against
Great Britain, on account OF her alliance
with Japan, and as Germany and France
joined with Russia in 1885, against Japan,
Il would be natural for Russia 20 seek
similar assistance in her present diff
culties. The argument Is therefore made
hat it behooves Great Britain to be pre-
pared for any and all eventuaiities.
The important news of the abolition Of
the Russian censorship has not yet
reached the English newspapers.
Russian dispatches to the London Press
record the rapid growth OF ant:-British
feeling. According to the kieff CORE
spondent Of the Standard many English
boys have been withdrawn from Russian
schools owing to the annoyances and in
suits 10 which they were subjected, and
there IS evidence in the restaurants and
other public resorts that the position OF
the British residents in kiaI would bs
very dangerous should Great Britain be

NEW WAY TO RAISE BABIES.
Em1nently Successful Method Has
Been Devised by Hospital
Managers

Hospital methods are adopted more
each year in the private treatment Of
babies-the methods, that is to say, of
the superior modern hospital conducted
under the best medical supervision. The
cradle is doomed and all its rocking
memories, says Golfers Weekly. The
child lies upon its bed and is not picked
up and carried about the room even when
it yells. Visitors and relatives are. no
longer encouraged to pound it in the ribs,
pinch its chin or transfer microbes to
its lips. This strictness is laughed at by
ribald outsiders and resented by critics
of the old regime, which, like every 9TH
er fossil, is attributed to nature, no
doubt, with Justice, but without relev-
ance.
Actually, this intelligent treatment OF
infancy is doing much to check nervous
ness in our children, to protect them
from bad habits and needless exactions
and to make them self-reliant- Baby
hood, indeed, is the best conducted age
at present. When the child grows older
1t meets undoubted loss in the substitu-
ton of nurses for mothers care, a ten
dency encouraged by the new activities
of women and by city life. At the be-
ginning, however, in the first weeks and
months of his existence. when change
and development are more rapid than at
any other period, the human being has
never had such decent treatment as it Is
the happy fashion to bestow upon him
now. He Is treated for his own vel
fare instead of for the amusement Of his
friends.

MINISTER EvENED MATTERS.
Assessed Cheap Man for Pew Rent
Who Tried to Evade the
Wedding Fee.

Cheap men always get 1t In the neck
good and hard" observed the big watch
man who keeps nightly vigil in the dark
and gloomy corridors Of the city halls
seventh floor, says: the Philadelphia
Telegraph.
Filling up his old briar and getting 1t
in working order, he continued, as he
struck a match: mo, sir, it never pays
to be cheap. Now. here's a friend OF
mine, Waterman in the building, who
illustrates the point to big T. Billie
is his name, and he decided to get mar
ried just short time ago.
HE led his lady up to the altar, and
they were duly made man and wife BY
the minister. Well, sir. they went down
the aisle arm in arm, Billie quite for
getting to pay the minister his little
recompense. This was all o. X. from
Billie's viewpoint, and he had in mind
applying the S. or SO that usually goes
to the man of the Word to the expenses
of the honeymoon. The minister didn' Z
say a word, but on Billie's return q spe-
cial assessment was levied on him for
pew rent. The assessment was to the
tune of SIS, and as nobody else was on
the game Billie had funny thoughts. He
is sorry now that he didn't cough up to
the parson. No, sir" repeated the
Waterman, emphatically, 'cheapness
don't pay"
