The Bagdad Button.

The rug dealer had just returneS
from Persia, where he had been buying
rugs.
Il got to Bagdad by water" he went
on. Il floated down the Tigris to Bag
dad on a raft made of skins.
..All the houses in Bagdad have uh-
derground rooms against the summer
heat. From October to May the eli
mate is cool and fine, but from June
to September the south wind blows
and you get up in the morning TO 4
temperature of 112 degrees in the
shade, and by two in the afternoon
this temperature will have run up to
122. No wonder they have under
ground rooms, is 1t?
II wanted to tell you about the Bag
dad button. 1t is a scar, deep, red
round scar, like a button, which every
resident of Bagdad. every visitor y
Bagdad, gets, sooner or later. None
escape.
81 did not escape a Bagdad button
NV scar is on my right arm, near the
shoulder.
THE trouble starts in painless
sore. The sore may attack you the first
off for year. 1t will come, tho. None
escape 1t.
s.This sore refuses to heal for twelve
or thirteen months. 1t gives you no
pain. but 1t must be dressed daily; it
is a disagreeable nuisance. Finally it
disappears, leaving scar-the Bag
dad button.
"Great French physicians have de-
voted years in Bagdad to study OF
the button, trying to find some means
of curing it. Vaccination has been
tried. but it has failed Burning out
the sore with caustic has failed also
Caustfe causes the sore to disappear,
but it at once returns in another place,
and hence instead Of one. two Bagdad
buttons.
"BagdaHs fine winter climate might
make it popular resort but for the
notorious button which scares visitors
away The scientist who masters and
abolishes this strange disease will do A
great work for Bagdad.
"The button appears on any part OF
the BODY. Tt is as likely to appear on
the nose as on the leg. 1t has disf1g-

LOOKS LIKE BIG PEACH CROP.
It Is Estimated Years Output in Mis-
souri, Will Bring $4,000, oo0-Good
Outlook for Berry Crop.

SNS'oSN wi SS''y S'SPs
1t appears that the Missouri peach
crop is to be this year a real one. l..
A. Goodman, secretary of the Missouri
Horticultural Society, says so-and Mr..
Goodman knows, remarks Walter Will
lianS of Columbia. For the last three
years the Missouri peach crop has
been a failure. In 1905 it persisted in
a single day-Feb. 10, when the Their
mometer registered 20 below zero over
the greater part of the state; cold
weather in December killed the crop of
1904, and the 1903 crop was killed after
the buds had blossomed. This year all
signs hold good for good crop. The
winter has been mild and the freezes
of early spring have nat been suffi-
cient to do damage
What is true of peaches is true of
apples, plums and berries. 1t looks
now like record breaking fruit year
in Missouri.
Two thousand carloads of strawber-
ries will be grown in the state this
in 1905. The plants are reported in
splendid condition and more of them
were covered last fall than ever before
in the history of the Missouri berry in
dustry The berry crop will be worth
s4.O00,OO0 in Missouri. This is the CEN
ter of the berry regions of the world
Indeed, Missouri leads the United
States in all horticulture. The peach
crop this year will sell for $5.oOO,ooO
There are now nearly 20,000,0OO apple
lrees in the state The fruit yield. If NH.
Goodman's predictions are true. Will
surpass anything the state has known
since 1901.

The Week in Cattle.

Chicago June 16.-Weaker tone 10
trade for choice grades of steers IN the
late days has reduced prices for these
a point under the best noted this week,
but they still close largely loo higher
than week ago, while the general
market for medium to good steers IS
unchanged to firmer, and plain ana
common killers generally on level
with last week.
Under increased marketing of close
to $4,000 the trade has shown fairly
good tone. strength in demand for the
good to choice classes from the start
providing ready outlet for them until
Thursday, when weakness was noted.
Exporters have not supported the trade
very firmly, but the call for good steers
from shippers was fairly broad and
this source of demand enabled selling
at quite good figures.
Yearlings have been particularly
ready sale and these show a big gain
in values over a week ago, bulk going
15@20c higher, while some have gone
at greater advance. Supplies OF
yearlings have been small all week and
local demand keen, while outsiders also
showed these good favor. Steers below
$500 and down to $3.50 have gone rath-
er slowly all week, and while the really
plain and common kinds have not
shown advances, the outlet was slight
ly better under broader competition
from the feeder buyers, but the latter
were reluctant to pay very strong
figures
Tops this week made $500 and a lib
eral supply s5.50@5.9O. Bulk of good
to choice beeves made $5.10@575, in
Guiding export steers up to $685.. Pack
ers and shippers bought medium to
good steers mainly at $4.70@5.00, and
the plain to fair light killers went at
S430@460, with tail-ends under $4.25.
Fat cows and heifers have been in
very small supply during the week and
keen demand afforded a sharp advance
in prices over the low range noted
week ago. Bulk have lately sold 256D
4Oc higher and some 40@50c up. Chief
demand has been for cows and heifers
good enough to sell above $3.50, and the
choice kinds were most appreciated.
Prime heifers reached $50, and bulk of
choice sows made $685. @4.35, while me-
dunn to good grades went at $3.2o@
$50 The common and medium cows
have sold only steady, and Gamer trade
has been practically demoralized, there
being no reliable outlet for low-grade
meats. Few Gamers sold above $500,
and good cutters at $2.40M2.50.
Butcher bulls have sold steady but
much weaker demand characterized
trade for bolognas. and these have gone
8Om5Oc lower in late days. The eastern
buyers have been practically out of the
market. Only choice bologna bulls sold
at S3.O0M3.1O. while most of the butcher
bulls have lately gone at 1886 MD3.65.
Calf trade has been weak and lower
for several days. late sales showing
largely soc decline from last week. De-
mand has been poor and only choice
vealers sold freely. while the grassy
kinds met sharp discrimination. OF late
bulk of good vealers made s6.00m6.50.
and only prime grades s7.0GG7.10.

Bradstreet's.

New York, June 16.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Trade and industry conditions are
satisfactory considering the season OF
the year. the main point being that
business in general is not only of av-
erage proportions but Is, In many lines,
quite in excess of that a year ago.
Fall orders for many lines of goods
are coming forward in goodly vol
umes, and jobbers appear optimistic as
to the outlook. Machinery is well em-
ployed the country over.
Railway earnings are very large, the
increase for May being over IA per
cent, thus stamping the month as the
best May on record.
Building is active, hence immense
demand for hardware and materials In
general is we'll maintained. tho yellow
pine displays some weakness. Prices of
commodities in general are, however,
close to the record level
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending June IA are 2,S29,242
bushels, against 6SS,017 bushels this
week last year. From July l to date
the exports are 130,956,255 bushels.
against 6O,7O1,264 bushels last year.
Corn exports for the week are $780,
1856 bushels, against 5O5,O99 year ago;

Deer Stories.

Stories of deer with rain barrels or
water pals on their heads are common
enough among Maine and Adirondack
guides, but it is left for Europe to come
to the fore with variant. Some hunts
men near Innsbruck came upon stag
with a ladder on it's antlers. In spite
of this handicap, it made off with great
speed on seeing man, leapllg hedges
and dashing thru the underground as
if quite unimpeded. Its mad career was
stopped, however when the elds of the
ladder caught between two rees. Its
struggles were so frantic a., the APP
proach of the huntsman's dog that 1T
broke off part of its antlers, and, thus
freed. made good its escape. The lad
der proved to belong TO a farmer, who
left it standing against one of his hay
stacks. While stealing the hay, the
stag had evidently upset the ladder,
which had thus become fixed on it's
horns Which goes to prove that hon
esty is the best policy-even for stays.

Suns Glare Harmful.

Boston women have discovered the
reason why children take to spectacles
at a tender age. 1t is due they say. TO
careless nursemaids. who sit about the
public garden or Commonwealth ave-
nue. and let their charges sleep with the
sun shining full upon their faces. Sun
baths are good as ahygienic measure
but optic nerves are sensitive and not
10 be trified with. and youngsters who
are unable to call for a sunshade have
to seek slumber with their eyelids
quivering under the glare. A crusade
should be started against this practice
of binding the darlings. says one
matron of the Hub. She is going 10
give morning talks With warnings to
mothers that they must instruct
nurses to screen little p'essum's eyes.

Quality has shown steady deterior-
