Curious Things In Mortaaass.

Corning, March 29.-Among other
recorded recently in the
court house is one wherein man In
the south part Of the county gave a
mortgage of $500 on stack of wild
hay containing ten tons. In order to
make the hay worth the loan Is should
sell for $50 ton.
Another unfortunate or fortunate
fellow in the north part of the county
has succeeded in mortgaging his auto
mobile, which is Thomas Detroit,
for $4,000. The mortgageee has filed
two mortgages of $500 each and as
sumes one already on the machine, OF
$500. Some machines cost this
amount, but it was not supposed that
there was one in this county of that
value.

WEAK At CHICAGO TODAY;
PACKERS Held OFF.

Chicago, March 29.--The steer trade
was slow and weak and 1t was not un-
til late IN the day that there was any
indication Of activity. but not enough
even to prevent decline. Prices OF
steers looked 10 to l5c lower and most
of the early support came from ship
pers, packers in many cases bidding
Csc lower than Mondays best time.
Butcher cattle sold at steady prices.
Hogs opened generally weak, only
supporters being scalpers. Packers held
off till late and forced break OF about
10c on the bulk of heavy sorts.
Sheep and lamb trade dragged anu
it was hard to quote prices. Prospects
were for slow clearance at prices looI
15c lower.

TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS
Moral That Writer Has Drawn Is
Not Without Some Points Of
Worthiness.

Miss Venus is a lovely girl; not
one time has she muttered, against
her pale, illumined life not one word
has she uttered. Just think, she's
been without her arms for many dusty
ages. and yet she never drops the
brine or rants in hopeless RACES She
has to stand bunch of CUFF from Art
bugs down to draymen, and yet she
never once comes back and grills the
heather layman. When some lows
brow of brutal mien starts merriiy to

He VIII Not Down,

The man with the glittering whisk
ers suddenly appears at the desk OF
the sunken-eyed hireling with the re.
calcitrant fountain pen, and says:
Il was passing the office when this
one occurred to me, and rushed in to
give 1t to you while 1t is fresh. What
Is the difference between a man who
has been marooned on an island whose
only population is polar bears, upon
the flesh Of which animals he has
been compelled to subsist for two
years-what is the difference between
him and a man who saunters into a
palatial hotel. is given seat near a
window before table spread with the
whitest linen and the choicest cut
glass, and to whom an obsequious
waiter deferentially hands menu?"
The pale bondslave shakes his head
petulantly, and the man with the gilt
tering whiskers explains:
One has his fill of bear and the
other has his bill of fare"
And the sad wind mournfully signs
the requiem of dying autumn through
the iridescent foliage of the monarchs
of the forest.

The Shadow Of Science

1t is hard to believe that shadow
is probably the origin of all astrono-
mical. geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicalarly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear in
the sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. It is
from the shadow of a gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
of the year. IT is from the shadow of
a gnomon that the inhabitants of Up.
per Egypt still measure the hours OF
work for water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is a lhurra stalk support
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south. East and west are pegs
in the ground, evenly marking the
space of earth between sunrise ant
sunset. In land of constant sun
shine shadow was the primitiv,
chronometer. 1t was also the prim
tive foot rule.

A Deadly Error.

DR.. w. B. Cannon OF Harvard, dis
cussing anti-vivisection literature at a
dinner in New York, said with a
smile:
"This literature, In part at least is
as flagrantly erroneous as the medical
department conducted by young col
lege girl in a weekly paper. A sam
pie reply in this department ran:
'Bereaved.-Th reply given last
week was mistake. 1t should have
been ten drops of laudanum, not ten
cups of laudanum. Yes, we advocate
cremation rather than the oldfash-
toned burial"

MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW
Conditions Are Only Different No
Matter What Sentimental
Writers May Assert.

The popular" writer who bewails
what he assumes to be the fact that
the "old-fashioned" mother is no more
Is liable to defeat his own purpose IL
that be intoxicating In children the
highest possible regard for their pa
rents. 1t is danger which even the
cumulative theory of literature or
space rates cannot justify.
The mother of the past, Of course,
was different from the mother of the
present, as different on the whole as
the conditions OF life then and now,
but since her daughter is the mother
of the present there must be some
points of similarity All the good in
our mothers and grandmothers GER
tainly could not have vanished. II
will be paying scant tribute to those
dear, good women who have laid down
their receipts and examples and pass
ed on to say so. And, of course, this
writer does not mean to do that, YET
he comes very near doing what he
does not intend.
The fallacy of the whole sentiment
tai notion that because things and
people are not like they used to be
they are not as good lies in the pat
ent fact that they cannot be alike, and
If they were it would simply be be
cause Of the present generation being
so much inferior to the past that Il
was unable to do no more than stanC
still.
