In tho Taproet Of m Oak.

remember a curious incident con-
nected with the taproot Of an oak.
This oak, good tree Of perhaps 200
years growth, was being felled at
Bradenham wood when the woodmen
called attention to something peculiar
on the taproot. On clearing this Of
soil we found that the object was a
horseshoe Of ancient make. Obviously
In the beginning an acorn must have
fallen into the hollow Of this cast
shoe, and as 1t grew through the slow
generations the root filed up the cir
Gle, carrying 1t down into the earth In
the process Of Its increase till at
length we round wood and iron thus
strangely welded. That taproot with
the shoe about it is now or used to be
paperweiGht In the vestibule Of
Brndenham Hall.-Rider Haggard.

IL was main tanned. were due to reports
OF serious damage to the Argentine crop.
The inference was drawn that II the flax
crop was injured by unfavorable weather.
the wheat crop must also have sustained
considerable damage. Export sales at

boetloads also helped TO create 1irm
tone In the local market. Exporters here.

Provisions were bearishly affected by
the further slump in corn and by de-
cline of SC TO loc in live hogs. Senu-
ment In tho pit was bearlsh all day and
closing prices showed losses OF 6@7lc 10
