MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis wheat made another
display Of strength, holding above $780,
against continued pressure of small lot
selling. Pit scalpers have been going
short in July for a long time with some
profit, for they managed to get little dips
affording profit. But they y,e 90 not t, stand
and July will be around soon. There is
a stock of only a little over 100000 bu
of contract wheat here, and by July 1 it
will be under that total in all probability
Nevertheless. there is said to be some
thing of a short interest here. Receipts

The Offending handkerchief.

IT is in fact grave sanitary ques-
ton whether the handkerchief does not
do more harm than good as it is ordi-
narily used. When we assume that the
nose does not need to be wiped, We face
a reasonably broad proposition as to
the danger Of the handkerchief as a
disease propagation. Most nasal ca
tarrhs are of an infectious character.
notably those of grip origin.
Contrary to q general law Of asepsis.
the handkerchief saturated with dis
ease germs. instead of being promptly
washed. is slowed for hours in the
pocket, with result that can be easily
imagined. Is it any wonder then that
catarrh is constantly fostered by sys-
tenn Of auto infection n?-Medical Record.

drank healths. When Theramerus was
condemned to drink hemIock he said,

The ancient Saxons also had the same
custom. Hengist invited King Eorti-
germ to banquet to see the new levies.
After the dishes were removed Rowe
na, the beautiful daughter Of Hengist,
appeared before the scene holding in
her hand :! golden cup full of wine.
She then made obeisance and said.
which in modern English means. Lord
king, your health" The king drank

Poet Riley on His Native Heath.

Several years ago James Whitcomb
Riley returned to his native town,
Greenfield. Ind, for the purpose Of Civ
ing q reading. the proceeds Of which
were for some charitable purpose. 1t
had been many years since he had vls-
tied the old town. and as the affair had
been we'll advertised people poured in
from all sections Of the county. Riley
arrived on an evening train. The "old
band" was ut the station to meet him.
The poet was put in low necked car
rage with reception committee, and,
headed by the band, a procession was
formed Of citizens, and they paraded
the business streets. A very old man
leaned up against the Gymond House,
a hotel Of Riley's day, and as the car
riage passed he squinted one eye and
out of the opposite corner Of his mouth
said. I've seen the time in this here
burg when they would have got a
brass band to git Jimmie Riley out OF
town."-Cleveland Leader.

HERBERT SPENCER.
He Was n Great Phrase Maker and
Had Some Odd Ways.

Herbert Spencer was no hnsulst.
Because Of eye strain which affected
his health he did not even know Ger
man. His pamphlet on education was,
however. translated into fifteen Ian
euaees, including Japanese.
Spencer was a great phrase maker.
It was he who popularized the word
revolution" and explained one OF the
phases Of the Darwinian doctrine as
'the survival of the fittest." He also
introduced Comte's coined word 80
GEOLOGY"
He was a bachelor and long lived in
boarding houses. Finally he set up
an establishment of his own. where he
could have about him people Of his
own choosing. \ favorite relaxation
in his later years was to sit in the
open doorway of his house and listen
to a piano played in distant apart
ment. He had the player trained. A
thump of his stick was the SIGNAL for
her to stop. another thump for the mu-
sic to proceed where it broke off.
Spencer was fond Of playing billiards.
Once at Brighton he invited smart
youth 10 4 game The philosopher had
four strokes and scored two while the
youth ran out. Mr.. Spencer put away
his cue with deliberation and said to
his opponent: a moderate degree OF
expertness in a game Of skill is agree
able and even creditable. Such dexter
ity as you show is evidence Of mis-
spent youth. Good afternoon

THE GREAT CONDOR.
It In the Most Difficult Bird In the
World to Trap.

Probably the great condor is the most
difficult bird in the world to trap. One
Of the great vu.tures, it inhabits lofty
peaks Of the Andes, hardly accessible
to man. 1t builds its nest among the
topmost crags, often on ledge Of some
precipice with an almost perpendicular
drop Of many hundred feet
An extremely wary bird, it shares
with its congeners the proverbial "ea-
gle eye'' and is thus able to see i'm
mense distances while yet unseen by
man. Its wings have spread of
twelve feet, and, though its fight is
heavy, it can sustain itself for long pc
rioGs in the air.
To trap it men ascend to its haunts
and shoot some animal Of considerable
size. This is skinned, and man lies
down by the body under the skin and
waits, perhaps for hours. Soon con-
dors come focking round until one set
ties on the skin. when the man below
grips it's legs, fings the skin over ii
and stabs it to death.
The strength Of these birds is enor-
nous, and the condor hunters often
have their arms broken by strokes
from their powerful wings.

NUMBER ON PAPER MONEY.
How to Tell Without Seeing the Fig
ureS If II Il Odd or Even.

IF any one comes up to you and
wants to bet you that he can tell
whether the number Of any Of Uncle
Sans paper money is odd or even By
locking at that part of the bill on which
the number does not appear. shun him
as you would the plague" said a guest
at the Hotel Mckay the other night.
Why? What is the joke?" asked
another guest.
Only this replied the first: Il was
out this afternoon with a number OF
men with whom have business deal
inss. We ate lunch, and then one man
wanted to bet me that he could call
the even or odd on the number Of any
bill I had. the loser to pay for the
lunch. took a bill from my pocket,
folded it so that the number did not
show, and after he had looked at 1t he
said, Even
1T was even. Soon afterward I got
stuck for the cigars the same way.
After had been done four or five times
they explained to me that all Of the
bills marked A and c. were odd. while
those marked b and D. were even.
1t cost about Sc to find it out, but l
guess it was good investment at that.
1t is the same on all bills. Be careful
when attempting to do the work not to
take the series letter in front Of the
number. but hunt for small letter on
the left hand side of the bill."-Duluth

beauty most truly passes into the per-

the great natural reservoirs and foun-
tains Of the beautiful before he himself
can become truly beautiful in life and
