REVIEWS MARKET LETTER
Furnished by Clay Robinson Co, the
Well Known Omaha Firm.

South Omaha, Nebr. July 10, 1906
The market on good kinds of fat
cattle has shown very little change
during the week; the fact is, there
has been good demand at this point
for we'll finished beeves, and they
have sold in about the same notches
every day. The fair and medium
kinds on the other hand have shown a
little weakness at times, and are not
quite as high as they were the best
time week or ten day ago. The
market to-day was steady on good
cattle, but low and lower on others.
Good to choice beeves are now selling
at $3.50 to SIS. 20; fair to good $500
to S 5.25; and the common to fair,
warmed-up kinds at $3.50 to 4.sO
Cows and heifers, as usual at this
season of the year when grassers' be-
come plentiful, have been breaking
badly; in fact, they have gone down
hill so rapidly that it has been no
easy matter to keep track of the mar
ket from day to day, and it is safe
to-day to quo.e prices from SO to IS
cents lower than the high point OF
week or ten day ago. Good to choice
cows are selling at 1878 to 400; fair
to good So 90 to 1868, and Gamers and
cutters from $3.50 to 2.75. Veal calves
are not as high as week ago, the
best now selling at $3.50, and from
that figure down to So. 90. Good fed
bulls are selling about as we'll as any
time; that is, right up to $500; but
grassers are extremely low and dull.
Stockers and feeders have net shown
any change during the week. Very
few are coming, and very few are
wanted, which is the usual condition
of affairs at this season of the year.
Good to choice kinds are quoted at
1915 to 4.25; fair to good 1925 tc
3.65, and common to fair around So. 90.
Hogs have advanced the last three
market days until they have touched
the highest point of the year. The
market today was strong to 5 cents
higher, sales being made largely al
$6.55 to 6.57A, with a top of $3.50
The demand here seems to be yer.
good, and everything coming meets
with ready sale at current prices.

Difference to Royalty.

On the occasion of visit by the
king of Italy to Vesuvius an Italian
newspaper announced that 1.-The erup-
ton had the honor Of being witnessed
by his majesty" 1t was German pa
per which once stated that certain
royal prince was graciously pleased
to be born yesterday" Equally cour-
tier-like was an army officer in attend
ance ON the king Of Spain. The king
asked him what was the time. The
courtier fumbled for his watch, but
could not find it, then respectfully re-
piled, Whatever time your majesty
pleases."

Indeed, it is by patent or grant alone
that new family can legitimately ac
quire coat of arms.
The modus operandi in England, for
example. Is as follows: The applicant
for patent of arms (from the CROWN
may employ any member he pleases Of
the heralds' college and through him
present memorial to the earl marshal
of England, who acts for the crown in
these matters, setting forth that he,
the memorialist, is not entitled to arms
or cannot prove his right to such and
praying that his grace the earl marshal
will issue his warrant to the kings Of
arms. authorizing them to grant and
confirm to him due and proper armo-
rial ensigns, to be borne according to
the laws Of heraldry by him and his
descendants. This memorial is pre-
sented and warrant is issued by the
earl marshal, under which patent Of
arms is made out. exhibiting paint
ing of the armorial enslgns granted,

the earl marshal and those of the col
lege and describing in official terms the
proceedings that have taken place and
a correct blaZon of the arms. This pat
ent is registered in the books of the
heralds' college and receives the sigma
lures Of the garter and one or both Of
the provincial kings of arms.
A grant or patent of arms is made to
man and his male descendants. This
gives him a fee simple of them-that is
to say. to him and to his male descend

SMUGGLING.
1t Was Considered Legitimate Pur-
suit In Days Gone BY.

A book by j. c. Wright entitled Gin
the Good Old Tines throws some in
teresting light on the ways of days
gone by: '.Of every three pounds of tea
it was said that two We're contraband.
In fact, smuggling was considered a
perfectly legitimate pursuit Every
body was ready to profit by it, from
the squire, who filled his cellars with
cheap wine, and his wife, who adorned
herself in cheap silks, to the shopkeep-
er, who got cheap groceries, or the la
borer, who got high wages for work
that was secret, unlawful and perilous.
Even Adam Smith confessed to a weak
ness for smuggling and nobody was
above bargaining to have a pipe or a
hogshead put in his cellar at Il low fig
ure. But smuggling on a large scale
was not carried on without bribery,
perjury, informing, violence and muir
der"
OF the old time London Waterman:
Gle was wrapped in wide skirted
heavy coat, useful garment for pro-
tecting him from the cold, but not
adapted to enable him to cope with the
DULLES who assaulted the weak and I'M
protected. He wore low shoes and a
big broad brimmed hat, which could be
turned up or down, worn forward or
backward. The only means Of defense
which the Waterman seems to have
possessed was staff something like
a beadle's. In his left hand he carried
his lantern"
In those primitive times pins were
manufactured by hand and went
through several stages of manufacture:
Worker No. / formed the wire, No.
cut it into lengths, No. smoothed it,
the fourth man made the head, the
fifth stuck it on, the sixth ground the
point. the seventh washed and dried it.
and it had to go through three more
hands after that; hence it used to be
a familiar proverb, 1T takes ten men
to make a pin"

THE MAN FISH.
A Peculiar Animal with Sort of

Human Appearance.
There used to be traditions among
the sailors of mermaids at sea. half
women and half fish, and there are
fishes which may have given rise to
the belief, from their resemblance to
human beings. One of these Is called
the man fish.
This animal inhabits the mouths of
the Amazon, Orinoco and other South
American rivers. Its name manatee)
has reference to the peculiar form Of
It's swimming paws. These are COM
posed of soft parts and membrane
which infolds the bones Of the hands
and fingers. But in the manatee four
fiat nails are seen attached to the edge
Of the paw.
The tail also is peculiar, being about
one-fourth the length of the body and
oval shaped, not unlike that of the OF
ter. The head is round, attached to the
body without neck. The muZzle, in
which the nostrils are placed, is large
and feshy, the upper lip cleft and bris
tied at the side, the lower lip much
shorter and the mouth small
When seen at distance. with the an
terror part of the body out of the wa
ter, they are sometimes taken for some
creature approaching to human shape.
The effect has been deepened by the
thickset hairs of the muscle, giving
somewhat the appearance Of human
hair or beard Thus the Spanish and
the Portuguese give the manatee a
name which signifies woman fish, and
the Dutch call it the dudong baardman-
netze or little bearded man.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN

There was an average daily def
clency of to 6 degrees in the tenn
perature of the past week. The days
were moderately warm, but the
nights were cooler than usual in the
first week of July. Except in few
localities the rainfall was below the
normal, but there is an ample supply
of moisture in the soil for the present
needs of all crops. The cool nights
and moderate warmth by day afforded
excellent conditions for the growing
crops of spring wheat, oats and bar
ley, checking the spread of rust in
the late seeded fields. And there was
sufficient warmth for the healthful
growth of corn, which is now being
laid by in very fine condition. In
the southern districts the bulk of the
crop has been laid by, and in all dis
tricts good progress has been made.
Haying is we'll begun, and the quality
of the crop is very good; the yield is
generally below normal. Winter
wheat, rye and early oats are being
cut in the southern section. and the
yield is fair to good. All minor crops
are doing we'll.

Lunatics Used as Horses.

A regular slave mart Still exists In
many country districts of Finland.
Once year such paupers. lunatics and
aged people Of each parish as cannot
support themselves are put up at pub
lie auction and consigned to those
farmers or families who will board
them at the lowest price offered by the
parish authorities. The helpless crea-
lures are made to work as much as
possible by their owners, who have the
right to chastise them and are general
~ most inhuman in their treatment.
Lunatics have been used even as cart
horses.

octopu. and conser Eel.

Conger eels hunt for the octopus and,
when found, proceed to browse on its
limbs. The octopus tries to hug the
slippery. Shiny conger tight, but in
vain, and, finding it's limbs growing
less, discharges it's ink in the face Of
the foe and, under cover Of the turbia
water, beats has y retreat. 1t is to
escape the too pressing attention of its
foes that the octopus possesses the
power Of changing it's color to CORE
