CATTLE Receipts. Of cattle numbered
only fifty cars this morning and only
about half OF them were In when u was
time for the market to open, trains belis
greatly delayed by the cold weather.
Owing TO the excessively cold weather no
ode went out In the yards except those
who had cattle to sell, and no buyers
were out excepting those whose require
mentA were urgent. The result was that
the yards during the greater part OF the
day had a decided holiday appearance.
such cattle as seemed to appeal 10 buy
ers commanded prices that were not far
from steady, but the general tendency 70
the trade was weak and In many cases
sa esmen were quoting II lower on tho
kind OF cattle that they happened 10 have.
Perhaps the best description OF the trade
would be to quote II slow. steady 20
lower market, This would apply TO all
kinds OF killing cattle.
There were very few feeders In sight
and few wanted for the reason that coun-
Try buyers were very scarce anu specu-
lstors did not care 70 buy cattle 70 carry
over TO next week with the weather con
ditlons so unfavorable. In consequences
the market on both stock cattle and feed
ers was slow and weak.
As compared with last weeks close the
market on beef steers, cows and heiiers
been strong sellers all the week, for tnc
reason that there have been very rev
received on the other hand, light stock
ers have been extremely hard 10 move,
with prices tending downward.

zoDIAcAL LIGHT A MYSTERY
This Strange Illumination Is Thought
to BE an Appendaae Of
the Sun.

There is a strange light in the
heavens appearing after sunset in
the late winter and in spring and be-
fore sunrise in the autumn, but few
persons in our ATTITUDES have ever
seen it. In the equatorial regions,
however, and in certain parts of the
tropics the zodiacal light appears
with great splendor, and some re-
markable views of it were obtained
by French expedition to the inte-
rior Of the Sahara, undertaken for
the purpose of studying the effects
of the unclouded sun on the dry air
of the desert.
The mysterious light, in the form
of vast triangle, rising high in the
heavens, appeared nearly three times
as bright as the Milky Way. Science
has not entirely solved the problem
of the origin of this light, but it is
thought that it is an appendage CO
the sun.-Harper's Weekly.

Ethnol>sish hsrc r>aon for
thinking thst Porto Rico and the adj
joining Islands mag hs~c been
peopled from tho vsiley Of the ORR
noco instead Of from Yucatsn. When
first occupied by man Porto Rico
may have been a part Of a peninsula
connected with South America. Its
fauna and fora are Of the South
American type, and it contains rel
les Of a forgotten race which show
evidence Of high grade of culture.
Few traces Of these s5origines are
now to be found except in the inte-
rior Of the island. Among the Curl
GUS remains are stone-inclosed plazas
on which ceremonial dances we're
performed. The remains of carved
idols and pottery show no small de-
gree Of skill and taste. No traces
of stone buildings resembling those
Of the Mayas are found, but the
houses are Of the South American
type. The manner of disposing of
the dead also resembled that prac-
ticed in the valley of the Orinoco.--

NOT @souTHPaw" IN SMOKING
Left-Handed Men Always Use Right
Hand to Light Their
Pipes.

With his left hand he took pipe
and tobacco from his pocket and
with his right hand he felt for a
match. He had none. His fellow
idler at the other end of the park
bench gave him a match and then
let his own cigar go out in his aston
ishment at seeing his left-handed
neighbor light his pipe with his right
hand.
'Thats funny" said he. "You
are just about the most confirmed
left-hander l ever met, yet for that
little trick you use your right hand
as if born to it,"
Gall left-handed people do" was
the reply. Gust think over the list
of your smoking acquaintance and
see if you ever knew one who lit his
pipe with his left hand. I'll bet you
didn't. I never did, and l have
numbered among my pipe-loving
friends several men whose right
hand seemed nearly helpless for ev-
erything else."

NOT AN ILL WIND.

Apropos of the bumper crops OF
1912, Secretary Wilson of the de-
partment of agriculture said in
Washington:
81 heard a story the other day
about a long-headed farmer. An auc-
tioneer was to auction off his fields
of standing grain, and the farmer
said to him:
"I hope to goodness we have a
good stiff breeze the day of the
auction
ga good stiff breeze? What use
viii that be?' asked the auctioneer.
"'You must be green, young fell
low said the farmer. Don't you
know that, when grains waving in
the breeze, it looks lot thicker
you see the same heads two and
three times OVER"
