CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, March 26-Rain in Illinbis
and sections OF the southwest prompted
general selling OF wheat today. which
resulted in material declines, the net

Corn and oats, after displaying consider
able strength. closed steady. Provisions
were firm all day.
Prices in the wheat pit were inclined
10 sag all day, although after a sharp
break at the opening Of the session this
decline was not OF great consequence.
Moro favorable weather conditions for the
new crop, as indicated from private and
OFFICIAL sources. formed the basis OF the
selling pressure, which centered on the
September delivery.
The market opened weak with prices
sa1a to one cent below Thursdays final
figures. the slump being due mainly to
reports OF rain in Illinois and Kansas.
An official prediction OF showers general
~ throughout the southwest in the next
twenty-four hours gave the bears addition
al encouragement early in the day and in
spired moderate sales during the remainder
OF the session. Fresh reports of damage by
drouth tended to restrain sellers. The
range on September for the day was De-
tween LOSS and 1.O61a. July sold between
LOTS and 1O61. and May between 1,13ta
and LA. The market closed at almost
the bottom, with September at 1OSMa
1.O5A- Final figures on July were 1,o7S
and May 1.13S.
Influenced by the opening slump in
wheat the corn market displayed slight
weakness at the start. but soon became
strong owing to brisk demand by lead
ing elevator interest. On the rally prices
advanced nearly 1 cent from the low
point Of the day. Comparatively light
receipts had a tendency to strengthen the
market during the day. Cash corn was
up laa1 cent owing to a fair demand ana
only moderate offerings. No. yellow
sold at 6O1sa6OS. The market for futures
lost some of it's strength In the Anal hour
and at the close prices were unchanged
to Y higher compared with the previous
close. with May at 50.
Oats were governed principally by corn,
but the market showed relatively more
weakness owing to considerable profit
taking. The selling was due partly to
showers in Illinois. The market closed
steady with prices unchanged to Y lower
Final quotations on the May delivery
were A cents.
Provisions were firm all day, because
OF buying based on light receipts of live
hogs throughout tho west. At the close
prices were 21z lower to TN higher. with

WORLD OF WONDERS
FOLLY TO TALK OF THE MoNoT.
oNY OF LIFE.
surely There Can Be No Excuse for
Even a Moment Of Dizziness Of
Ono VIII But Pause and
Consider

Ihere are not few women in the
world today who complain bitterly
mat their life is insufferably dull.
They are almost bored to death with
the monotony of their existence.
The consequences of a dull life are
serious, for dullness propagates a host
OF evils such as SANDER, malice. and
strife. IF the brain sows not corn
1t plants thistles."
When l hear" said a public man,
that any one has been speaking i'll
OF me behind my back 1 am not angry
win him, but I merely say to myself,
How dull he must have been to have
had nothing better to DOT" And yet
no intelligent person should live a
one-toned (monotonous) life. Life
monotonous! when we are every mo-
ment touching this wonderful world
OF hve points-hearing, seeing, smell
Ing, tasting, feeling. Life monoton-
Gus! when our sojourn in this world
OF which. as Goodwin Smith said, we
know as little as the mole knows of
the world of VISIONS so brief, and so
uncertain. Life monotonous! in a
world of some 1,2O0,OO0,O00 living hu-
man beings, not to mention the an
imal creation with Its wealth of intel
ligence. Life monotonous! with such
an inlook! outlook! uplook! Surely
there is no excuse for dull monotony
IN such world, and, above all, in
such an age as ours.
However restricted may be the cir
cumstances of the daily life, it is pos
slble to maintain among least things
what Wordsworth calls IAN under
sense of greateness.'
This is an absolute and never-fail-
Ing cure for dullness and monotony.
The cultivation of ideas is the real
charm of life. No life can be COM
monplace and undressing where
the mind is kept uppermost.
An idea is still the alchemist that
turns the world to gold. However
petty may be woman's occupation
and let 1t be remarked in passing that
1t often calls for greatness to do lit

capacities (and capacity increases by
cultivation) revel in what Macaulay
calls "the infinite wealth of the men,

sameness, no want of variety, in the
thought world. I.
No two days of any intelligent life
ought to be exactly similar. Every
day should be fresh beginning.
Every day should be enriched with
little excellences which are, after all,
SO great!

Newman. lest thy life come to an

A Tap from the Dead.

A remarkable incident, bearing al.
most on the supernatural, was related
at an inquest at Whitley Bay, Eng,
upon the body of Henry Fairbairn,
which was found on the beach there
one Sunday morning recently.
The widow related how. when her
husband did not return at the usual
time on Saturday night, she deter.
mined to sit up, and wait for him.
About a. m. she was sitting reading
newspaper, and doing" alternately.
when she was startled by hearing
"a gentle knocking at the front door.
This was followed" said Mrs. Fair.

To Remove whitewash.

When the ceilings or walls of rooms
have been covered with several sue.
cessive coats Of whitewash and this
withstands the scraping process, COM
monty applied with a stout broom or
scraper, the following treatment will
be found Successful in removing it.
Take three pints of flour and beat
smooth with cold water; then pour
boiling water to it until it is cooked
into fairly thick paste. Dissolve one
pound of alum in hot water and pour
1t into the paste. Apply this over
the adhering whitewash on walls or
ceiling. being careful to cover it thor.
oughly. Then close the room, and let
it stand over night. In the morning
the bits of lime which may be left
clinging to the walls are easily
brushed off. Before papering room
all nail holes and cracks in the plaster
should be filled with a stiff paste of
plaster of paris mixed with water. This
should be allowed to dry before the
paper is applied.

HEREDITARY IDEA OF SUICIDE
Proof That Mania Rune In Families
Has Been substantlated by
Investigation.

With the object Of showing the con.
sequences Of intermarriage where q
suicidal faint exists, and the necessity
ror imposing some restraint, the Men
del Journal, the organ of the Mendel
society, gives an instance of the de-
velopment of suicidal mania through
four or five generations.
Two families lived in the same vii
lage and the tradition is that one fam
lily was addicted to suicide by drown
Ing and the other by shooting. The
tradition is traced back at least five
generations, but the actual records Of
the first generation were not kept
In the second generation one in
d1yidual committed suicide by drown
Ing, and in the shooting family there
/ was case of suicide by shooting. Or
that generation a member of the
| shooting family married one of the
! drowning family, and of the issue Of
the marriage one person committed
suicide by shooting and another by
drowning. There were two normal
members OF the two families who mar
rled, making what is called cousin
marriage. OF the offspring of this
unlon-being the fourth generation in
order-ohe was insane, with suicidal
mania, and is still living; two brothers
drowned themselves, fourth poisoned
himself, fifth shot himself and a
sixth poisoned himself. A seventh was
insane, with suicidal mania, and there
are three other normal members of
the family who are still living.
The suicidal mania persisted in 9th.
er branches of what is called the
| shooting family, and in one of these
branches in the third generation there
was member who shot himself. His
| son also committed suicide in the
same way and third was insane with
suicidal mania. Two sisters were nor.

The Shrines of Chilli.

At various places in Chile, dotted up
and down the countryside, may be
found many small shrines. Some con-
sist of a small, hut-like arrangement,
others are mere holes cut into neigh
boring rocks; while others, again, are
nothing more than hollow pile of
stones. They usually mark the spot
where some one has met his death by
violence, and the shrine is built by the
pious friends OF the deceased, who
keep candles burning in it to light the
departed soul on it's way One little
cement hut which saw was rather a
neat one of its kind, and must have
taken some trouble to set up, as it is
placed about ten miles from the near
est township and on very bad road.
The melted wax from the candles has
flowed out down the side of the hill.
The inscription on the cross reads:
In remembrance of Richard Fuenza-
