Wool Market is unchanQed.

Following is Dun's current review
Of the wool market:
conditions are unchanged in the
eastern wool markets, supplies appear
ing ample. but mill consumption is on
a scale that promises to leave little
wool to be carried over at the opening
of the new season. Prices are UNI
changed, and imports continue of
large volume. The domestic markets
are healthy in tone, no pressure to
sell being noticed.
"Boston-The market for wool con-
tlnues quiet, the only signs of activ-
ity being in the buying of sample
bags for testing purposes and the
transfer of few stable lines of for
eign supplies. The London auction
sales have had no effect upon the
market and most cables report prices
unchanged Local values are also un-
changed. Receipts for the week were
1,377.S3S pounds and deliveries A.
$4,000 pounds"

Women sacrificinu the Birds.

Let the world bid its sad farewell
TO its feathered folk if millinery
modes continue their slaughter. Ger
tain species of the rarest and most
beautiful birds are threatened with
determination at no distant date. In
one market alone lately were sold at
one time 10000 humming birds, $4,000
parakeets, $4,000 kingfishers, 10000
aigrettes and thousands Of other gor-
geous southern birds of different
kinds, as well as doves and even spar
rows. France receives every year from
America, Tonkin and India millions
of birds which are exchanged for mil
liens of dollars. The number of small
birds annually imported into England
and France may be computed at 1,5O0,-
900. Germany exports nearly 10000
900 feathers which are worked up in
England into hat trimmings. In Lon
don there are held every month sales
of birds skins and feathers, India
alone supplying some 30,OO0,000 feath-
ers. The South American republics
are awakened to the danger of the ex-
termination of their most ornamental
birds and have passed laws regulating
their slaughter. In America has been
formed a league whose members for
swear the wearing of feathers.

Here is an odd little drama, the
Bordid end of which came to light the
other day in a London police court.
Some years ago a respectable and
thrifty accountant who had lived a
bare, lonely sort of life, was told by
his doctor that he had but a short
time to live. Seeing no sense in stick
ing to his treadmill, he threw up his
situation and devoted himself to get
ting the most pleasure possible out of
the little capital he had saved by
years of hard work. But doctors Tin

mistakes. Perhaps gay life was the
best prescription he could have had
he stultified medical science. At all
events his lease of life outran his CAPT
tai and he was the other day sent to
Jail for six months for getting money
on false pretenses. 1t is never safe to
say, Let us eat, drink and be merry,
for tomorrow we die"

Though the ancient Greeks and
Romans used ice for table purposes
to get through even hotter weather
than we have been having lately, they
knew nothing of ices" These were

"fromages glaces," iced cheeses, al

of ''glaces" in the plural was sane

1926 did "une glace" force its way

are referred to from time to time in

eraphoIoay Tested.

Prof. Alfred pinet of the Sorbonne
has been making some experiments in
graphology which reveal that science
in an unkind light. AS a beginning,
the handwriting of Renan was circu-
lated. A famous graphologue gave
the following analysis of the great
skeptic philosopher: "a mind original
ly mediocre and little cultivated. Lit
tie reflection. On the other hand, the
credulity and loquaciousness of the
subject are noteworthy" With an
other expert Renan came off a little
better, as "a clear and fine mind, but
hardly reaching talent" Graphology
suffered most when it fell foul of the
manuscript of the brutal assassin vi
dial, who had slain many women. One
authority declared the writing to be
that of young girl who must be
classed among the gentler charac-
ters." Another doctor in the scieuce
observed although we have never
seen the handwriting of Taine, we
imagine it like this. In any case he
who wrote these lines was thinker"
If this be true the essay on Murder
as Fine Art" should be rewritten
with view to proving it an exact SCI
ence, allied to so-called evolutionary
criticism. The total result of Prof.
Binet's experiments is to suggest that
in graphnology a fair field and no ia
vor is the rule Most of us would
have struck rather nearer the white
than the adopts in the above-men-
toned cases.
