provisions 21a to 17hc.
Heavy selling pressure was in eVi-
dence in the wheat pit almost from
the start. Uneasiness regarding Mex
lean and German developments now
ever, did not at first seem to attract
much attention. The full effect OF
the unwelcome diplomatic tangles be-
came increasingly manifest, though,
when the disturbance in the stock
market was seen to be of a notable
character.
Suspension of Holland-American
steamship sailings exercised direct
influence on the wheat market, in
creasing to a perceptible extent the
downward tendency Of prices.
Corn gave way with wheat and as
a result of the lack Of shipping de-
mand.
Provisions advanced at first owing
to higher prices on hogs, Later, how
ever, the weakness of grain became
too pronounced to be ignored, and a
reaction took place, with packers con-
spicuous on the selling side.

Of native-killed game are sold annual

TURN OUT MILLIONS OF PIPES
Manufacturers In the United States
supply a Very Large Part Of
the Worlds Demand.

Over 100000 pipes are manufac
tured annually in the United States.
The wooden pipe is probably more
distinctly national than any which
finds its way into the market. Rang.
ing in between the aristocratic meer.
schaum and the plebeian clay, it is
rarely expensive, while at the same
time its manufacture calls into exist
snce q considerable industry. The
roots Of the mountain laurel and rho
dodendron are most generally used for
pipe making, they being selected for
the purpose on account of their du-
rability, hardness and the light polish
which they are capable of taking. They
are found throughout the southern
states generally-the best material is
said to come from North Carolina and
is sent to the market in large pieces,
which vary in size from that of q
mans fist to the dimensions of gosd.
sized key. The material costs from
$40 to $50 per ton, the price depend.
ing upon the quality of the wood. In ad
dition to the domestic material used
in pipe making, immense quantities OF
brier root blocks are shipped into this
country annually from southern
France and Italy.-Scientifc Amer.

HOW NERVES CONTROL HABIT
System Must Be Trained to Follow
caIIed-For Motions Along .
Certain Path.

Those who think habit is jus,
something you remember-that is, is
purely q mental proposition, are mis-
taken. Habit is question of mechan.
les as much as the smooth drawing
Of piston rod.
Habit is the action Of nerve mo-
lions along beaten path. A muscle
somewhere in the body contracts and
q nerve moves because it cannot help
It, and so on until the process is
complete, and the thing we call habit
Ia done.
There are as many Of these paths
In the nervous system as there are
habits. The impression which one
nerve center receives awakens another
and the whole path of the action is
travelled over.
The first time the action Is per.
formed the nerve centers do not awak.
en- their successors readily. For
this reason some things are hard to
learn. Everything that employs a
great many nerve centers is hard to
learn, because the path must be worn,
the nerve centers trained to act in
sequence. Once they are trained the
habit is formed. The second call upon
them is easier than the first, the third
easier than the second, etc.
