MARKEH IE47HR-

WHEAT-Strong opening in wheat,
due to higher markets abroad, low
temperatures in the northwest, with
an advance in Minneapolis greater by
far than witnessed yet and due to the
numerous crop damage reports that
grow worse on CHASER investigation of
the fields. Very little wheat was for
sale excepting in a realizing way and
many OF the sold out bulls reinstated
their lines at higher prices. The.
southwest markets were very strong,
foreign buying was in evidence here
to quite an extent and a feature was
the premium established on December
over September" 49, Elevator people
were heavy buyers of September and
it looked as if some large short in
terest had been compelled to cover in
December. Tremendous realizing ap-
peared with prices working off to-
wards the close, a very nervous and
unsettled market prevailing. Higher
prices may be witnessed with a re-
newal of damage reports, but we
should by all means advise the secur.
ing of profits on these tremendous adj
vances.
CORN, Not much corn on sale,
while the futures were strong and
higher in sympathy with wheat. al
though weather conditions in the
southwest were great deal more fay-
orable. There was big selling of Sep
TENDER in a realizing way with the
cash people buying, scattered buying
orders appearing in December and
May. The market does not act par
ticularly strong and should any sud
den break appear in wheat, corn
would sympathize quickly.
OATS-Receipts continue large. a
great deal of selling appeared in Sep
TENDER with the futures widening out
on outside buying orders. With fur
tner advances appearing we would ie-
gard May oats sale.
PROVISIONS - Were neglected
with prices working off early in SYM
PATTY with hogs, but turned strong
and became quite active following ad-
vances in wheat and corn. Very lit
tie enthusiasm prevailed with local
sentiment inclined to be bearish.

Grow Acres Of Roses

In the minds of many people a
breath of that subtle yet powerful
perfume, altar Of roses, centuries up
thoughts of far-away Turkey and the
orient. AS matter of fact, however,
1t is in La Belle France that one finds
the rose gardens of the world whence
comes by far the greater part of our
supply of rose oil, the base of this de-
lightful odor
These extensive flower gardens are
situated on the southern slopes of the
maritime range of the Alps bordering
on the beautiful blue Mediterranean
in the vicinity Of Nice. AS no rain
falls here from March till September
the climate is admirably adapted to
the industry. For miles and miles
nothing can be seen except a vista of
flowers gardens. That the flower in
dustry is an old one is proved by the
fact that in the village of Grasse one
firm has had factory for the manu-
facture of perfumes since 1868. Wom-

tage. For due and easy nutrition
food should be taken slowly and the
mind should not be intensely cxercis-
ed during the process.
Every one knows that violent bodily
exercise is bad Just after a meal, and
mental exertion is equally so. Wise
people do not even argue during or
just after dinner, and observation Of
a1terc1nner speakers neither endure
themselves nor excite in their hear
ers any severe intellectual effort. In
TACT, the experience of countless gen.
erat1ons, from the red Indian of the
woods to the white-shirted diners of
modern party, has prepetuated the
lesson that a man should not eat
alone, nor think much at this time,
but should talk and be talked to while
he feeds. Most people do not think
much when they talk, and talking is
natural accompaniment of eating and
and drinking. How does it fare with
the many solitary women of to-day?
No better we know than with the
men, but differently. Alone or rot,
man may generally be trusted at any
time to take food enough.

Evils of Eating Alone

There are some few happily dispos-
ed individuals, says the London Lam
Get, who can dine alone, and not eat
too fast, nor too much, nor too little.
With the majority it is different.
The average man puts his novel or
his paper before him, and thinks that
he will lengthen out the meal with
due deliberation by reading a little
with, and more between, the courses.
He will just employ his mind enough
to help, and too little to interfere with
indigestion. In fact, he will provide
that gentle mental accomplishment
which with happier people conversa-
ton gives to meal. This is your soli-
tary's excellent idea. In reality he
becomes engrossed in what he is
reading till, suddenly finding his chop
cold, he demolishes it in a few mouth
fuls; or else he finds that he is hun
cry, and paying no attention to the
book, which he filings aside, he rushes
through his food as fast as possible,
to plunge into his armchair and litera-
ture afterward. In either case the
lonely man must digest at disadvan-

big manufactures, but by small farm
ers who sell the flowers by the pound
to the manufacturers.
About 1000 plants are required to
each acre in the rose gardens and
these yield about $4,000 pounds of
roses. The gardens require sunny
slope and much irrigation. The
bushes are cut down to the ground
each year and the plants attain an
enormous age. The flowers are picked
each morning while the dew is on
them, because it is then that they re.
tain their perfume.
During the blossoming season many
tons of roses are taken to the factories
In great baskets, where they are
dumped into big copper stills which
hold half barrel of water each.
Then comes the distilling process
which results in rose water. The
rose water itself is afterward distilled.
and on top of the fluid which arises
from this process float oily drops,
These are very precious, for they are
the essential oil of the rose which is
known as altar or otto Of roses.

Dogs Rich Mans Hobby

very many wealthy men of the
United States go in a great deal for
the pleasures that their hounds and
dogs afford them. but perhaps no ken
nels are kept in better order than
those owned and built by William G.
Rockefeller, Of Greenwich, Conn. On
a lovely slope overlooking the sound
are located these excellent quarters
for the Rock Ridge beagles, for that's
the breed that the secretary of the
Standard Oil company admires, while
there are some American fox hounds
also in the kennels.
The Rock Ridge pack is made up of
english and American bred beagles,
large sums having been paid to Eng
fish owners of hunting packs, notably
Mr.. T. Johnson, of Whitchurch, Shrop-
shire, famous owner of 14-inch Stud
Book beagles.

kennels is the splendid condition in

which they are kept. They are as
clean as the day they were completed,
some three or four years ago, notwith-
standing that they have been con-
stantly the home of half a hundred or
more beagles of all ages. They are
under the superintendent of Joseph
Lewis, who has been among dogs all
his life.
Well heated with cloves and othe,
appliances, the dogs lack no comfort,
there being separate puppy quarters,
hospital arranged in the most ap-
proved way, while the medicine de-
partment would not disgrace the es-
Establishment of leading veterinary
surgeon. Even the dirt of the kennel
is destroyed by patent furnace.
All beagles of an age are exercised
and hunted every week day throughout
the season. With keen noses and
beautiful voices they make the
swamps about resound with their mu-
sic.

minister Tells Of Finding Lost Ring
in Sweet Potato.


in Sweet Potato.
The Rev. j. e. Curry, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church in Gran
bury, N. j., vouches for the following:
Some years ago Miss Brown, now the
wife OF the Rev. H. H. Sleeper, rector
of Grace Episcopal church in Eliza
beth, N. j., lost her mothers wedding
ring. as she supposed in the sawdust
of the gymnasium attached to the
Brainerd institute in Cranbury. One
day, when the incident had been for.
gotten, Mrs. Browns servant was pre-
pairing for dinner sweet potatoes, which
had just been brought in from the gar
den. She noticed one with a peculiar
band around the center, making it ap-
pear as though two potatoes had grown
together. She laid it aside to show it
to her mistress. Something about the
shape of the band attracted Mrs
Browns attention at once. and inves-
tigation revealed the fact that it was
the long-lost wedding ring, badly tar
nished, yet whole as the day it was
lost. A little reflection solved the
mystery. The ring had been lost, not
I'm the gymnasium, but in the chip
yard, from which the rotting particles
were taken to enrich the sweet potato
hills. One of the young tubers had
grown through the center of the ring
and thus brought it to the light and
restored it to it's place on Mrs. Browns
finger, where it is now worn with
greater joy than ever.-New York
