CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, July 20-Trade in the wheat pit
was quiet and sentiment was bearisn all day.
The market, however, held up well consider
ing that the price of wheat at all the prin-
cipal European grain centers was lower and
that primary receipts in this country aggre-
gated more than 100000 bushels. The COM
parative steadiness of the local market was
due to a continued excellent demand for the
cash grain and to crop damage reports from
the northwest. Local bulls were the principal
tuyers and commission houses the chiet sell
ers The market closed steady at slight de-
cline. September opened BqAc TO 9sgHsc
lower at 9O1aQ9OAc, sold up to 91Sc and closed
at 90tsc.
The corn market was inclined to be weak
early because Of reseling of distant futures
based on favorable crop reports. Trade IN
the nearby options was quiet the greater part
OF the day. hrmer tone developed during
the last half of the day on covering by shorts
ali of the earlier loss being reganed. The
n,arixet closed steady; September at 75Ic.
Trading In oats was quiet and the marke
was fairly steady. September closed at 42Bc

The most easily tried nerves In the
body are the nerves that smell. They
can detect the faintest Whit of per

AS you pass in the rose garden, the
quantity of perfume that gets into
your nostrils must be many millions
of billions of times smaller than the
tiniest grain of sand, But rub the
strongest perfume to your mustache,
and in a few seconds you fail to no
tice It. the nerve of smell is so quick
ly fatigued.
The heat nerves and cold nerves
which are quite distinct from the
nerves Of ordinary sensation, also stop
working very quickly A bath that
seems quite hot when you first step
into 1t, very soon ceases to cause any
particular feeling of heat.
Nerves of hearing and sight can &c
through an enormous amount OF work
For 16 hours day they work hard
and are still willing to do more.
The nerves Of the heart are the
most untiring of all. From the first
dawn of life until the last gasp, they
work without stopping for one in
slant.

AborIeines Willing to Give UP Enc

Several weeks ago ten communities
of the Nan-Ow aboriginal tribe In
the Giran province of Formosa pro
posed to the government to submit,
says the South China Post. Upon this
the government gave them the follow
ing items of conditions under which
the government was disposed to admit
their submission:
/. The aborigines concerned should
hand over to the government those
skulls which had been cut of the bod
les Of the other tribes whom they
killed and are keeping in their houses
according to their habits.
2. The arms and ammunition should
all be surrendered to the government
The aborigines agreed to the former
condition, but many Of them objected
to the latter, and thereupon they gave
up the idea of submission Since then
they are again Offering resistance

government troops having finished the
construction of their guardhouses, tel.
ephone lines and wire entanglements,
and thus almost attaining their object,
are now chiefly paying attention to
their guard service, attaching less i'm
