Chicago, Aug. 22.-Wheat-No frost
in Canada and the market eased
slightly. Red wheat continues 10 in
crease its premium due 20 the Toledo
situation. Primary receipts continue
below last year and fresh sales are
fairly good at 100000 bushels.
Corn-A further decline OF Z cent
is the net result Of the days trading.
The country Is offering old corn much
more freely and southern bidders, who
have been high, have been pretty we'll
filed up. and a good deal Of corn will
be headed for Chicago from points
which, up to this time. have been send
ing their corn south or southwest In
the pit, trade has quieted down con-
siderably and buyers have not been
nearly as aggressive as IN the past.
Oats - This market was slightly
easier in sympathy with other grains.
Eastern demand, tho showing some in
crease, is still very disappointing.
Provistons-There was some reversa!
OF form and decline IN prices of pro-
duct early today IN spite Of higher

until fair declines had been recorded.

WASHING OUT A WOUND.
TinoAure of Iodine Is About the Safest -.Et Antisanfic fn uaA

TinoAure of Iodine Is About the Safest @" Antisep&ic to Use. ..
 Carbolic acid, one of the most valu- able antiseptics known to surgeons, is at the same time one of the most dan gerous. It is used daily, almost hour ly, by operators in the hospitals: The layman who understands its perils may wash wounds out with it safely, but the best surgeons say that inex- perienced persons had better let it alone.
 No wound should ever be bound up with bandages soaked in even the mildest solution of carbolic acid, for the skin absorbs 1t readily, and poison ing is apt to follow prolonged use. An eminent New York surgeon had case a few weeks ago of child whose fin ger had turned black after being dressed too long with per cent so- lution of carbolic acid, and when he called this papers attention to the case he was expecting to be obliged to cut off the finger.
 The most commonly used antisepttc Is bichloride of mercury Corrosive sublimate), but this is one of the dead Hest poisons known and as it has no color or odor is easily mistaken for water To avoid this it is customary to color solutions or 1t. ColOred tab lets are made especially for making solutions of any given strength. Dr. Albert S. Morrow in ''The Immediate Care of the Ihjured'' says it should be used as a wet dressing on wounds in a solution of 12OO0 of 1.5OO0, the lat ter made by dissolving one 71z grain tablet in 213 quarts of water. As a wash for wound it may be used in 1.1O0O solution lone "A grain tablet to pint of water).
 Iodine is another antiseptic that is highly recommended. It Is used com monly on dirty wounds, where there is danger of infection and a doctors services are not immediately avail able. In such cases the tincture of Iodine is used pure and is applied by dipping wad of cotton or antiseptic gauge in 1t and swabbing out the wound, being careful to penetrate this thoroughly. .--New York World.

gAeY WOOD DUCKS.
The Journey, 50 the Water When They Leave Their Lofty Nests.

The tourney 90 the water when noy { Leave Their Lofty Nests.
 Somebody, Burroughs, believe, said ''the notion that the mother duck takes the young birds one by one in her beak and carries them to the creek is doubt less erroneous" I could not see how else it could be done, writes a contrib utor to the Youths Companion, and l spent several valuable days of several different years in trying to find out how 1t was done.
 The thing that puzzled me was how the mother wood duck (Aix sponsa) i, managed to get her numerous progeny sdown from their lofty cradle and upon the water without injuring them. l was not alone in my ignorance; some very eminent ornithologists have won dered about the matter as well.
 After a five mile pull one hot June day I let my boat lie in the shade of some lofty cottonwoods that grew on the lake shore, while lay back and watched the play of shadows on the calm water.
 A splash near by attracted my atten- tton. and looked round to see moth CT wood duck just alighting. There was q little one by her side. but I did not see how it got there. In mo- meht the old duck rose, circled few times to gain altitude. and made di- rec! for a hole in large dead tree few rods away. The hole was at least sixty feet from the ground. The duck squeezed her body through the open ing and disappeared. She came back in a few moments with duckling in her mouth. After resting for mo- ment she came sailing down and p!ac- ed this baby beside the first. One aft CT another she carried down the entire brood of eleven little yellow and black fluffy balls. They Tapped their tiny wings and fluttered in the water as if that were not the first time they had ever been in swimming.
 The mother duck returned once more to the tree to make sure that she had not overlooked one, came back. placed herself at the head of the procession. called softly to her babies and swam away. followed by the entire family in single file.

Marie AntOinette had passion for | extraordinary headdresses One strtIc. ture that she invented was forty i've Inches in height and was composed of many yards of gauge and ribbon From the folds sprlng punches of roses and the entire editice was surmounted by d waving plume of white feathers. It is recorded that when Maria Theresa re. ceived portrait of her daughter wear ing this headdress she exclaimed: : ''This is no daughter of mine! 1t is the portrait of m actressr'

On different parts of the tower were the initials of the duchesse's husband. her father and her father-in-law, made from her own hair.
 At this time France and England were at war. In a naval engagement the French frigate Llcorne struck her flag. but the Belle Poule, another French vessel. crippled the Hector, an English man-of-war. As the French. men were about to board two English vessels bore down to their consort's assistance. and the Belle Poule sailed away. The English fleet returned to Plymouth with two prizes, the Licorue and French lugger
 The French. although they had lost a frigate, proclaimed a victory. The queen and her women wore headdress es that represented the Belle Poule un der full sail blowing a sea of green gauge in pursuit of the English frigate This construction was known us the "coiffure Belle Poule."

ANCIENT MON0PoLIES.

A Corner In Corn In the Early Days of
 the Egyptians.
 The evil of monopolies and rings was known to ancients, Aristotle referring to them in his Politics" and then, as now, 1t was found necessary to hold them in check by legislation. The mo- nopolist was in Roman law called a dardanarius and punished under the Lex Julia de Annona. Monopolies of clothing, fish and all articles of food were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno under pain of conflscation and exile, so that it Is certain that the rings of the ancient days were as mischievOus as they are now. At Athens a law linn lted the amount of corn a man might buy. The earliest recorded instance we have was corn ring.
 There Is an ancient tradition that the king who made Joseph his prime min lster and committed into his hands the entire administration of Egypt was Apepi. Apepi was one of the shepherd kings and ruled over the whole of Egypt as 1oseph's pharaoh seems to have done. The prime minister during seven years of remarkable plenty bought up every bushel of corn beyond the absolute needs of the Egyptians and stored 1t During the terrible fam Inc that followed he was able to get his own price and bartered corn sue cessively for the Egyptian money, cat tie and land and, taking one-fifth for pharaoh. made him supremely wealthy. It was not merely a provident act. but a very polite one, his policy being to centralIze power in the monarch's hands.-London Answers.
