RroomhaII's Report.

Liverpool, Aug. 11.-As a result of
the decline in America and the weak
ness in winnipeg yesterday the wheat
market was Il to % lower at the open
ing. Following the opening there was
heavy covering by shorts on the con-
tinued unfavorable reports from Rus
STA, forecast Of light worlds shipments
forecast this week, light receipts for
three days and the strong close in
Buenos Ayres. The trade have large
ly accepted reduced yield in America
and after the opening prices advanced
IS to V with the principal support in
December. During the morning the
market became dull and as a result
there was some profit taking and prices
declined " to " from the high. There
was a small demand for both cargo
and parcels. At 1880 p. m. the market
was nervous and firm at the decline
and ~ lower than yesterday. Corn at
the opening was unchanged and later
advanced Y on the growing scarcity
OF spot and the fact that American re-
ceipts during the past three days are
nil with total only $4,000.

One OF the best methods for canning
gooseberries is to add hve ounces OF
sugar to each pound OF carefully clean
ed gooseberries. adding a very little
water and boil for ten minutes Re-
move from the fire, can and seal at
once. Another method which Is equal
ly as good, but little more expensive,
is to carefully stem and top the ber-
ries and thoroughly wash in cold
water. TO every pound OF berries add
a pound OF sugar and one-half pint Of
water. Cook over q slow IRE for ten
minutes, place In jars ana seal at once.
IL the berries are to be used for pies
1t Is better to can without sugar.

the session. due to better weather con-
aitions in the northwest and less talk
OF rust damage. On the decline a good
class OF buying developed. and rally

evidence of export inquiry, the sea-
board reporting some business accom-

rallied later with our own. We con-
tinue TO feel more than friendly to
wheat on all the little declines and
think that the market is working into

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Explaining the
weakness in wheat in the face Of the
bullish government report and the
large export sales, traders said last
night that the heavy selling and break
was due to Lichstern and other longs
1t is figured that in a week 15,000.Oo0
bushels long wheat has been dumped
on the market, which has been taken
surprisingly well and it is hard to
tell where it has gone to. 1t is one
Of the peculiar features Of the most
bullish features of the speculative trade
that a market will decline on the con-
firmation of the most bullish news that
has been expected for a month. Many
traders here and elsewhere were long
and took advantage of the early bulge
to take profits, figuring that confirm
alton of the bullish news removes the
fresh impetus for buying and after an
advance 1t is well to take profits on
general principles. Inter- ocean.

SURF RIDING AS A SPORT
The Kanaka Stands Amidst the Roar
 ing, Splashing Waves

From the Christian Science Monitor.
 Much has been written about the na- tive sport of surfriding in the South seas. but the following description from Lon don's Cruise of the shark IS novel and very vivid The locality referred to is Waikiki beach, near Honolulu:
 The trees grow right down to the salty edges of things, and one sits in their shade and looks seaward at majestic surf laundering in on the beach to ones very feet Half mile out where is the reef. the white heading combers thrust suddenly skyward out of the placit tur- duoise blue and come rolling in to shore
 And suddenly, out there where big smoker lifts skyward. rising like a sea god from out of the welter of spume and churnng white, on the giddy, toppling, overhanging and downfalling, precarious crest appears the dark head of a man. Swiftly he rises through the rushing white His black shoulders, his chest, his loins, his limbs-all is abruptly projected on ones vision. Where but the moment before was only the wide desolation and invincible roar, is now man, erect, full statured. not struggling frantically in that wild movement, not buried and crushed and buffeted by those mighty monsters, but standing above them all calm and

The Sense of Smell

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Woman's sense of smell is well known to be sharper than is the sense of smell in man, broadly speaking, disregarding occasional variations in individuals. But mans ingenuity has enabled him to offset this defect in a most simple manner.
 In a certain English boys school man monitor has charge of rooms and dormi- tories, reporting upon surreptitlously in- troduced wines, ales and tobaccos. Cigar cites are tabooed without chance of apol- egy. To discover these odors has been one of the prime duties of the monitor. And in doing so he has chanced upon a most effective scheme.
 He carries with him on his rounds a glass of water Entering a room where suspected odors may be in nasal evidence. he dips a finger in the water and moist ems his nostrils freely. In a moment the odor of stale tobacco or ales or wines strikes his olfactories with a hammer blow. In explanation the monitor says that as the sense of taste is slight, unless the substance be in solution, either through water or by mastication, it oc- cured to him that his sense of smell might be quickened by a watered nose. He says that he discover in strong degree odors that, without wetting the nose, are imperceptible.
 What do you know about that? <

Conditions of the Filipinos

Civic, social and religious conditions Tn the Philippines are dealt with by the Rev. ]. l.. Mclaughlin field agent of the Amer
 lean Bible society at Manila, in his report just to hand In the civic situation FL iplnos are pushing. he says the Filipino in- dependence idea, but Mr Mclaughlin be- heves this not so much anti-United States as pro-F filipino. He thinks the latter no. wholly ungrateful for all that has been done for them
 In social affairs the cockpit still rules the government permitting it, although the old dances are beginning to give place to literary societies. The independent Filipino Catholic church, founded by Agli- pay, seems to have reached its high water mark and does not grow. American bishops have been placed over Roman Catholic dioceses, and French and Belgian friars have come in, until 1t Is the belief Of this Bible society representative that the Catholic church, the regular one of 300 years service in the Philippines. was pever stronger there than today, and that there were never so many friars and nuns as now.
 Presby Methodist, Episcopal and other churches have the Luzon and north ern field we'll covered, and are now look ing into southern islands. Baptists are in the south. but all of Samar Masbate,
  small but important islands are as yet untouched. Immediately following Amer jean occupation large numbers of Fil pinos focked into the Protestant churches. Not by any means have all of these been held there. They have gone into infdelity agnotislsm and other isms and olgies. Yet on the whole, thinks MT Mclaughlin, the evangelical work has been encouraging and has accomplished much.
 In the early days many Flipinos bought very cheap editions of the Bible, largely to gain some idea of what a book so long prohibited contained. Enor nous sales in numbers of copies were recorded. Curiosity being satisfied, sales will decline. Editions of Old and New Testaments in Tagalog Ibanag, Pam panga, Ilocano and Panayan are to be printed at once, and it is found that Jap anese printers are best for the work So marked are differences between Filipino dialets. that no classical or standard edi- ton of the Bible for the whole islands may ever be possible. The Society is working on the task of "A Bible in every home in the Philippine islands" and claims to have accomplished this in seven of the largest cities.
 Mir. Mclaughlin concludes that only the best preachers and teachers must come to the Philippines hereafter. Some not the best had to answer six~or eight years ago Today so marked is the inl- provement from the public school train ing that the average ability of religious tea1chers must be higher than formerly. The Catholic church is doing excellent work, and Protestant churches must, if they succeed, throw in their best men and literature

northern body contains S00Oo0 eolored members
 Apart from the comparatively small number of colored people in regular Methodist church membership, there are three large Methodist bodies of negroes, the Zion with 545,OOO members, the Afri- can with 452OOO and the colored, with 255,0OO. Negroes now in the regular with any of these three but form body of their own. Some efforts are making, however, to bring about union with the Zion body.
 White Methodsts maintain for their BOO 900 negro members 2S schools Of hlgh grade, at cost of s36O,00O year. Be- sides there are eight Methodist colleges foI colored people It Is declared that not all of this missionary work will De cut off if division comes, but that white Methodists north will continue to help colored Methodists, as they are helplns others.
 Final action cannot be taken until May 1912, when the Methodist General conference meets in Minneapolis. Ad- vance steps to such action can be taken az once, and indications are that such will be taken Race prejudice does not, however, so much obtain as do tpe con victions on the part of colored people that they can work in their own way as they cannot now, and on the part or white Methodsts that the larger Metho- dist union will then be possible. Indeed, SC far as can be judged, both sides seem gratified that negroes themselves are likely to act
