CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, July 25.-Possible complica-
lions between Russia and other powers
played an important role in the wheat mar
ket today. AS result September wheat
at the close here showed a gain of an even
cent. Corn is up &C, oats &c higher
and provisions were down 5G12kc.
Strong foreign markets in the face of ex-
treme weakness of Saturday impaired a
firm tone to wheat at the opening. not
and increased receipts Initial quotations
on September were up SAKE at S7@S7h.
For time little disposition to sell was
manifested, and with q fair demand from
shorts, September advanced to SIN On the
slight upturn, however considerable scat
tering commission house solling developed,
resulting later in quite general selling.
Support from the big houses that recently
had been bulling the market almost
entirely lacking In consequence September
declined to s6A ds67s. The demand on the
sellers hastensd to put their wheat back,
and in the absence of offerings prices ad-
vanced quickly. The uncertainty sur
rounding the developments in the
progress of the Russo Japanese war was an
all-important factor in causing bullish SEN
timent during the latter part of the day
Some reports of rust were received from the
spring wheat country but in the main crop
advices were favorable. Heavy priptary re-
ceipts and weakness in cash grain we're ap-
parently overlooked by the majority of
traders. The market continued .trong the
remainder of the session. After touching
8sc. September closed at S7T. Clearances
of wheat and flour equal to 50,9 .
bushels The amount passage decreased
$4,000 bushels. and the visible supply de-
creased $4,000 bushels. Primary receipts
were S39,600 bushels, compared with 69S 700
bushels year ago. Minneapolis Duluth and
Chicago reported receipts of 1870 cars
against $40 cars last week and 276 cars a
year ago.
Trading in corn was rather slow, the
strength developed in the market being
more the effect of the advance in wheat
than the result of any urgent demand Lib
eral receipts and favorable weather caused
pit traders to fight shy of the long side.
and the strength of wheat made short sell
ing equally hazardous. The market was
helped some by the report that Western
feeders were buying all cash offerings in
sight. The close practically at the
high point. September opened a shade to
NC higher at 49h to 49h 949A, sold be-
tween 49@49h and 49h and closed at 40 "a
Q49R. Local receipts were 306 cars with
| 23 of contract grade.
In sympathy with other grains the oats
market ruled firm. The trading was light
| business being confined mainly to commits
| sion houses. September opened a shade
| higher at 33. ranged between 327s and 33E
| and closed at 33b @33A. Local receipts
were 100 cars.
No interest was manifested in the pro-
| vision pit, trading being practically dead
| owing to the strike. little long stuff came
| out late in the day, causing slight decline

Charge Made Against The New WON

Lead Her to Admit It.

One of the charges that are
made against the new woman" is
that she is less sympathetic than
is her sister WHO adde's closely III
what is called "woman's sphere"
says the Portland Oregonian.
But in the light of the above ar
raignment OF sympathy as the vice
that it not infrcquently is, may
not the new woman" confess
Judgment upon this charge and
strengthen her case and her posi-
ton by SO doing? Woman has
been called a ministering angel,
but would not a more practical
name better be6t the women OF
the twentieth century? Will
not the serA ices of women to the
world be greater and of more en-.

than conceals the moral naked

woman behind the door of every
mans success. "If there is says
the writer, "rest assured that she

TOURISTS FUNNY REMARKS
oze Woman Wanted to Know If the

days-"Fricd Cupid5."

Burton Holmes has been travel.
ing in the summers and telling of
his travels during the winters fGl
/ dozen years. During that time
he has visited almost every c0un
try on the globe, and now that b.
is in New York, he is continuaily
meeting friends whom lie iirsi met
III Japan, Alaska, Hawaii, India,
Algeria or some other foreign
country.
The criticism is sometimes
made of the Japanese that they
have no religion" said Mr..
Holmes, at The Lambs the other
day, but the criticism is not well
founded. They have a religion,
which, while simple, is sufficient
for their needs, and il has many
beautiful features. The religion
is known as 'Shinto,' or Way OF
the Gods 1t is a sort of sun wor-
ship, and in the temples a rising
sun is always a prominent part of
the decorations. In fact, it in
about all there is in the temples.
Some one once said that there is
nothing to see in a Shinto temple,
and they won't let you see it,"
Mr.. Holmes says that the most
interesting feature of his travels
has been the other travellers whom
he has met. The comments that
some of them make when gazing
for the first time on "a wonder of
nature are excruciatingly funny.
Thus a woman who gazed into the
awe-inspiring Grand Canyon OF
the Colorado for the first time
said: Just as Iexpected; | knew
| would be disappointed. 1t is not
a bit like Colorado Springs." An.
other woman, when buying in San
Francisco a round trip ticket to
the Grand Canyon, cautiously
asked the railroad agent: as the
canyon open on Sundays?" a
third woman gazed curiOusly at q
group of naked Moki Indian chill
dren, who scampered away at the
approach of strangers and ran VI
ladders with the agility of mon
keys, their bronze skins glistenina
in the sun. Then she said: They
look like fried cupids."

The Fashionable Doctor and the Wom-

"Yes," said the fashionable doe
tor, as he wrote out a %prescrip

Still explaining the sad condi-
tion of her nerves, she drove the
auto down the avenue at a rafting
clip. In and out of the tangle OF
vehicles the jolting juggernaut
flew at 90 miles an hour.
The nervous wreck put on the

THE NEW ENGLAND STATES
Boston Publication Finds Evidence of
Decadence-Can't Keep Up with
March of Progress.

New England is stale, declares
the Buffalo Times. Too far gone
to keep up with the rapid march
OF progress, it has dropped out of
the procession. The Boston Her
aid finds evidence in recent sta
tistics of the decadence of the
group of states not only in polit-
zeal influence and literary emf
nence, but also in manufacturing
and commerce. During the past
year national banks increased in
number, capital, deposits and ag-
gregate resources in other parts
of the union, but in New England
there was a smaller number OF
banks, less deposits and less ag-
gregate resources than at the be-
ginning of 1908. In manufacture
ing New England has not kept
abreast with other sections OF the
country. The textile industry Is
in part absorbed by the south and
other lines Of productive industry
are appropriated by the middle
and western states.
The Herald believes that special
legislation would restore to New
England its old-time prosperity,
but there is grave doubt as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of providing it. The
Baltimore Sun, discussing this
proposition, ably says that New
England is a corner of the country.
and q national policy that suits
the rest of the union does not nee.
cssarily favor a remote corner.

NURSERY GARDEN IN JAPAN.
Curious Revelation of What Can Be
Done in the Way of Training
Dwarf Trees.

A Japanese nursery garden is II
revelation, says Macmillan's
There, on benches, in rows, sit tor
tured trees in their bowls or pans
Of faience. Their perfection is a
marvel of patience, requiring
years for it's accomplishment;
sometimes one man will give as
much as 30 years attention to a
single little cherry tree. Each
curve, each leaf, each twig has its
direction and proportion regulat-
cd by the most rigid and immem-
crial principles; and to have any
value in Japanese eyes a dwarf
must conform absolutely to the
iron rules laid down by the canons
of taste in the days when lyeyasu
Tokugawa paralyzed into an ada
mantine immobility the whole ar
tistic and intellectual life of the
country. The effect Is, of course,
exquisite in its elaborate and rath-
or morbid beauty. But ii must be
said that there are many dwarfs.
very many, which go for low
prices, owing TO the impcrfections
of their development; they have y
bough, or a bend, that is not pre-
scribed. Consequently the Japan
ese buy them-indeed, with pleas
ure-but will not admit their
claims to be works OF art. Natur-
ally he will buy them, as even so
they are beautiful, and their price
brings them within the ran"o OF
everyone's ambition. So, at home,
one might buy a Severn instead OF
"a Turner, recognizing the differ
ences clearly, but valuing the
cheaper picture q g highly as it de
serves, and buying it the more
readily for its cheapness. How
ever, these Japanese trees that fill
the gardens are wonderful, with
all their imperfections, and the
untutored savage eye of the west
entirely fails to see any difference
between a perfect specimen ten
inches high, three centuries III
age, and ESQ in price, and its neigh.
Dor of equal height, Of five years
growth and FIVE shillings value
They are all dainty, and of every
kind.

METHOD IN COOKING EGGS
Aunt Dinah Sings Two Verses OF
Hymn for Soft Boiled and
Three for Hard.

Crooks are often accused OF
want of method, but the Aunt
Dinah in Howard Paul's new egg
story is not open to any such re.
proach, says London Truth. In.
yariably when she put the eggs in
the saucepan she began singing
Rock of Ages" and sang through
two verses. "Aunt Dinah," asked
Mr.. Paul, care there not three
erses in that hymn" Oar is,

when | wants EN- soft and three

vania railway, and when his
breakfast was brought the eggs
were UNDERGONE. "What time are

asked the waiter. "a mile a min.
ute, sir" "Then boil the eggs
another mile and they'll be quite

MAKES A LIBERAL OFFER.
Trenchman Will Give His Ears, Nose
or Skin to Doctors for Graft
ing Purposes.

Though the recent story about
grating one mans "a upon an
other mans head, to make good a
loss by the latter, proved to be
without foundation, there can be
no doubt about the possibility of
transferring portions of skin
from n human body to another.
That operation has been per-
formed with success too many
times to be regarded with skepti-
ism. On a more limited scale
and with less satisfactory results
surgeons have spliced pieces of
bone taken from an animal upon
that of a human leg or arm.
The e%ar-grafting yarn, having
been widely circulated in Europe,
has led to q remarkable offer. a
Frcnchman has written to a sur.
geon named Gillaume Livet, to
say that he will sell ears, nose or
skin for this purpose.
In case DR.. Livet does not need
them in his own practice, the cor
respondent would esteem it a IA
yor if he would bear him in mind
N the event of a colleague requir.
ing them. He also suggests that
the Academy of Science and the
Faculty of Medicine might find
$ for parts of a living body. I'll
SO please let me know, and i will
be most grateful"
He adds a postscript to the eff
feet that the charges for parts OF
his anatomy will be moderate al
first" Indeed, it is only natural
to suppose that the prices will ad.
vance proportionately to the re.
duction of his person. He also
says that special arrangements
may be made for the poor who
need pieces Of him.
