COWS.

HoGS-The market was a good deal Of
a dead one this morning, the buyers
wouldn't and the sellers couldn't and tho
first half OF the forenoon passed with
practically nothing being accomplished.
Packers wanted 10 take off big &c and
would not do anything different, while
sellers wanted nearly steady prices but
could not get them. Later advices coming
from other market points indicating a
general decline all along the line gave
the packers tho advantage ana enabled
them TO force sellers to give in. The
result was a Sc lower market.
The hogs sold very largely at S61b the
packers announcing right at the start
that they would buy their droves at that
neure or leave the hogs alone. Later on
they tried to pinch on a little more 80
that the later market was even worse than
the early.
The hog market this week has had an
almost Interrupted downward movement,
values having been forced lower as 4
result OF a strong bear movement on
the part OF packers. The decline for the
week amounts TO i7h q Oc, which carries
values to the lowest point reached since
March 1s, when the average price was
s6.15. TO put II another way the market
is now S5c lower than IL was at the high
point Of the year April rs. when the
average touched 1851.

A E1attering Testimonial.

A very eminent London surgeon, one of the lights of the profession, one day observed a gentleman knocked down by runaway horse. He went to his aid and found he had broken his leg It was only simple fracture, but the man was badly hurt.
 The surgeon used his umbrella as splint and with his own hands borrow ed handkerchlefs, bandaged the limb tightly, put the patient in a cab and drove to the nearest hospital There they were received by young medical student.
 You've bandaged this pretty we'll" said the youth patroniZingly.
 Not at all." said the other.
 T suppose you have been attending some ambulance class. They say a little learning is dangerous thing, but the little you've learned you've put to good account. ] can't give you your umbrella now. but if you leave your address it shall be sent to your house" !"

The WiIea of Beasts of Prey.

The panther on the plains of Pata- gonia gets as near herd of guanacos as it can, then lies down behind a bush on its back. 1t puts one paw up in the air, theh' another, then the third and fourth and after bit all four at once. That seems curious to the guanacos, and they come close to investigate. Up jumps the panther and lights on the nearest one's back and breaks its neck. A fox up in Nova Scotia comes down to the bay of Fundy and goes jumping along the beach couple of rods and back again, rising on it's hind legs at each about face and waving it's big tail in the ai; The little flock of four or i've Canada geese out on the water beg to wonder what can be the mat. tor w,;h iha fox.

 There are times when waves of crime seem to sweep over community. anc; there are also times when waves of justice follow. and in their seriousness the courts seem determined to convict at any cost. The two waves happened to be sweeping over the western city at the time, and the law made an ex ample of Drayton. He was sentenced to state prison for five years. and the judge read him severe moral lecture from the bench in addition. The pris- oner protested to the last and his whole community felt that the law had made a grievous mistake, but there was a spurt of reform on. and the prosecution would have it that Justice had her hands on the right man.

What is q dramatic death? Of course the most dramatic death ever recorded was that of Placut, who dropped dead while paying a bill. Then there was the death of Fabius, who was choked by hair in some milk; that of Louis VI who met his doom because pig ran under his horse and caused him to stumble; that of Saufeius, who was poisoned by the albumen in soft boil ed egg, and that of ZeuXis, who died from laughter at sight of hag he had painted.
