PaUcy Cattle Are Scarce.

A few prime steers sold close 10 81
at Chicago last week, and it would
not be surprising II that figure were
reached this week. Chicago Is the
only market that Is getting cattle that
are good enough to command $3.50
or better, and that kind forms a very
small percentage Of the receipts.
Such sales indicate q scarcity Of long
fed fancy steers, but this has little to
do with the general trade in cattle.
A very useful grade OF fat steers can
be bought at s6, so, and east Of Chic.
ago nothing Of the 90 kline Is coming
forward, let alone the 81 grade. Ex-
porters are getting cattle up to their
usual standard at So % $50. The
difference between the extreme top
and really good fat steers is unusually
wide, owing to the scarcity Of the
former; and between common killing
steers and the fat kind i, is wider still.
Until the range u is over there is
little prospect Of diminishing this
difference by the improvement Of the
common klnds A raft of common
killing cattle have to sell below "a and
some below sS.-National Stockman.

Scotland Citizen Republican:
Nothing has transpired since the
meeting of the last legislature to
make Pierre more desirable as
a capital location than it was at
that time. The opposition now
manifesting itself against Mitch
ell from places, that have al
ways before been crying for
capital removal can only be at
tributed to jealousy, and in this
feeling the people generally have
no sympathy and should rebuke
it. The strength of Pierre lies
in the fact that no other town
fears her supremacy, but Q town

PRISONS OF SILENCE.
h COnvicts Ever Wear ShrOuds
and Sleep Beside COflns.

Entombed in a grim castle IN the
outskirts of Lisbon are some of the
most miserable men on earth. These
are the inmates of POrtugal's deadly
prisons of silence. In this building ev-
erything that human ingenuity can
suggest to render the lives of it's pris-
Oners a horrible, maddening torture is
done. The corridors, piled tier on tier
five stories high, extend from a COM
mon center like the spokes of a huge
wheel. The cells are narrow, tomb
like, and within each stands a coffin.
The prison garb is a shroud. The at
tendants creep about in felt slippers.
No n is allowed to utter a word.
The doors are unlocked. and the half
a thousand wretches march out, cloth
ed in shrouds and with faces covered
by masks, for it is a part of this
hideous punishment that none may
look upon the c~ountenances Of his fell
low prisoners. Few of them endure
this torture for more than ten years.

BITING THE THUMB.
1t Used to BE Considered<a Pledge Of
Mortal Revenge

It Used to he Considered<a Pledge OF
Mortal Revenge.
In Romeo and Juliet" the servants
Of Capulet and Montague begin a quar-
rel by biting his thumb at the 9TH
ers. Commentators have regarded this
act as an insult, quoting the following
passage from Decker's Dead Term
What swearing is there, what Shout
dering, what jostling, what jeering,
what biting Of thumbs to beget quar-
rels!"
Sir Walter Scott. however, in q note
to the Lay of the Last Minstrel" says,
ITO bite the thumb or the glove seems
not to have been considered upon the
border as a gesture Of contempt,
though SO used by Shakespeare, but as
a pledge Of mortal revenge" 1t was
thus accounted to be a solemn assur-
ance that at the proper time the sword
should settle the dispute or purge the
Offense.
Something of the sort may have pre-
vailed among the Romans, for it is
thought that the Latin polliceri, to
promise, is derived from pollex, the
thumb.
