Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Jan S.-Because bright
weather had finally smiled on the Argen-
tine harvest, wheat values TODAY became
easy. Closing figures showed a decline OF
Mc to hq9sc net. Latest trading left corn
unchanged to hc higher; oats off sc to
hQi4c and provisions down shade to
5G71hc.
In the wheat market speculators
seemed to divide their attention mainly
between the radical change In the Argen-
tine weather and the DEVELOPMENTS In a
lively election that was in progress for
choice of officials for the board of
trade. Before the opening news was at
hand that the return of fine weather re-
ported from Buenos Ayres had brought
about a sharp decline at Liverpool. There
was conspicuous absence of fresh buy
ng as the market came to a close. Dur
ing the session May ranged from $1O0Ik
to N,0lbqLOh with last sales $l.0l, a loss
of hqsc net
A forecast of colder weather tonight
made corn firm. Prices for the May OPP
tion fluctuated between 6hc and
64Ac, with the close sc up at 64Skc.
Cash offerings were not liberal, especially
from Iowa. CARROTS of No. 2 yellow were
quoted at 69p70c for old.
Oats weakened under the lead of wheat.
Top and bottom levels reached by May
were 494d49izc and 49lsc with the close

Rare Word.

/ The news dispatches told the other
day of the death of an old man who
had known a little of fame in his ma
tive city, the pleasures of riches and
then the agonies of poverty. AS the
doctors told him he had only a short
time to live, he said;
tits been tough, but think that on
the whole it's been interesting"
Death is everywhere. as it always
has been. But for most of us 1t is hid
den. No more. as 1t was once, is
death the commonplace sight. the
thing to meet the eye ON every side.
1t is pleasanter for life that this is SO,
yet. because Of the fact, there are
fewer philosophers In the world, fewer
persons conscious OF the inevitable.
fewer still who. when their summons
comes. can be easy and cheerful and
die little mindful of troubles and
wounds endured. and with fair word
for the pleasures experienced.

The man watched her, pale and

Oldest Metal.

A recent paper presented to the
Royal Institution at London, in dis
cussing the question of the metals
used by the great nations of antiquity,
pointed out that gold was probably
the first metal known to man because
it is generally found native. The old
est metallic objects to which we can
assign probable date are thought to
be those found in a royal tomb at
Nagada in Egypt supposed to have
been that Of King Menes. In one OF
the chambers were some bits of gold
and a bead, button, and fine wire
of nearly pure copper. If the tomb
has been properly identified, these OBJ
jects are at least $500 years old. Near
ly all the ancient gold that has been
examined contains silver enough to
give it a light color. 1t was gathered
by the ancients in the bed of the
Pactolus and other streams of Asia
Minor.-Harper's Weekly.

When they had moved away, along

ALL FOND OF FINE i77saEL
eoberness Of Costume Not q Marked
Trait With the Men Who Helped
Make Nation.

John Hancock, thin in person, siz
feet In stature, was very fond of orna-
mental dress. He wore a wig when
abroad, and cap when at home. A
man who visited Hancock one day at
noon, IN June, 1882, describes him as
dressed in a red velvet cap lined with
fine white linen, which was turned up
two or three inches over the lower
edge OF the velvet; a blue damask
gown lined with silk; a white silk
stock; a white satin embroidered
waistcoat, black satin small clothes,
white silk stockings and red morocco
slippers.
Washington, at his reception in Phil
adelphia, was dressed in black velvet;
his hair was powdered and gathered
behind in large silk bag. His hands
were incased in yellow gloves; he
held a cooked hat with a cockade on
It and its edges adorned with a black
feather. He wore knee and shoe
buckles, and at his left hip appeared
