BLIND PEOPLE SWIM STRAIGHT.
Keep Course with Marvellous Direct.
ness, Guided by Sound.

Just as some professional singers
with magnificent voices never learn
to sing in perfect tune, so do the train
ers of really fine swimmers often find
1t impossible that men with every
quality for racing otherwise can be
made or taught to swim even in an
approximately straight line
Many splendid swimmer is beat
en- on this account, for his inveterate
habit of getting off his course natural
ly gives him roundabout journey.
But the remarkable fact remains that
blind swimmers Of whom there are
in this country considerable number
In connection with various institutions
for persons so af1licted-universall
and without exception swim with
marvellous directness; indeed, in as
perfectly straight line as is humanity
possible, even when the distance GOV.
cred is very considerable
Blind swimmers can, 1t appears, on
hearing noise in any given direction
not only swim absolutely straight to
the point whence the noise proceeds,
but when left to themselves their
steering is just as accurate.

study of the whole subject of expen-
ditures, their growth, control, expendi-
ture, methods of making UP estimates,
and the thoroughness with which con-
gress advises itself before giving away
money ON the demand Of the depart
ments.
To this end it is proposed to have
Senator Hemenway Of Indiana, when
he retires from the senate March 4,
named as special investigator to
spend u year or twd on the subject.
He has been chairman of the house APP
preparations committee and is known
as d thoroughly informed specialist in
all appropriation matters. 1t is thought
his work may result in some effort TO
establish a budget committed and a
measure of ministerial responsibility
for the relation between revenues and
expenditures. In such capacity, ne
would be an adviser to the senate APP
preparation committee in making UP its
bill next year and probably two years
hence and the effort would be- made
to inject his reform ideas, thru that
measure, into the whole scheme of gov
eminent revenues and expenditures.

Atchison Globe Reveals Secret.

A former chief of police of Atsh-
ison, the Globe says, had wide repu-
tation because he was not afraid Of
women. When a mad woman called
on him and said, haughtily: Il called
to see you about little matter" he
promptly replied: II am glad you did.
There is a good deal Of complaint in
your neighborhood about your temper,
and want to say that if hear any
more about 1t will put stop to it in
way you won't like" ETC., etc. In
short, the secret is that the chief
chewed the rag first, and kept at it
without giving the woman chance
to say word. Men should remember
this when approached by mad wom-
an, the man should attack first, and
keep quarreling until the woman cries.

Packers and Scalpers Competi-
tors for Choice Heavy Cows
and Prime Heiters
HOGS WEAK AT THE FINISH
Packers Refused to Pay Prices Asked
at Opening of Session = Buying
Movement Very Measer Part of the
Time - Sheep Slow and Steady -
Lambs Active.

Chicago, Feb. 4-Cattle closed weak
to 10 cents lower, and butchers sold to
better advantage than did steers.
Packers and scalpers We're competitors
for choice heavy cows and prime heif
ers, tho big killers gave very little evil
dence of their need for common and
medium sorts Bulls steady, with
little show of f1rmness. There was lit,
tie change in the prices of calves.
Receipts for the week thus far have
been small, but for some reason the
demand was also light and it has been
impossible to make sales on a satisfac-
tory basis. Mondays market started
out higher, but blew up at the finish,
showing that the demand was not re-
liable. Tuesdays receipts were liberal
for Tuesday and the situation was still
worse. Wednesday buyers took plenty
of time to start and it was later than
usual before many cattle We're weighed.
Hogs.
Hogs were weak at the finish, pack
ers refusing to pay prices that were
asked at the opening session. Sellers
We're obdurate to a certain degree and
there was a period during the middle
session when the buying movement
was very meagre. Big killers We're in
sistent on reductions of about 10 cents
from the best time of the previous ses-
sion, but final quotations did not show
much decline. The top was eventually
raised to 6.55, but these sales We're out
of line with the general market.
Sheep.
Sheep were slow and steady. Lambs
were active at an advance of o@lO
cents over yesterday. The bulk of
lambs We're native and fed westerns.
Lack of quality in sheep was a de-
torrent factor against higher prices.
