Cottonseed Oil Futures.-A very firm
undcrtone developed in yesterdays
market, and prices at the close were
strong, with net gains Of 80 to %
points. There was moro or less selling
credited to Western account, but orers
were very readily taken. The pro
nounced strength in crude oil, when
was quite generally quoted at sl.2o
gallon, had a stimulating influence;
Shorts were also nervous and inclined
to cover. and during the course OF
evening-up contracts the buying was
more aggressive than the selling. sales

Wheat.-The movement Of wheat at
primary points was again slightly

I has been n slow but steady gain in
the movement. For the last four days
receipts have increased 100000 bushels
at primary points, and the prospective
large importations Of Canadian wheat
have materially relieved the situation.
Aside from complaints Of a lack Of
moisture in the Southwest, where seed
ing operations have been delayed, re-
ports on the outlook for the new crop
were very favorable, and in portions Of
Kansas the growth has been SO lux
uriant that it is being grazed.

to anticipate a more active movement
from the farms. The local cash mar
ket was easy.

The toothbrush, now an indlspensa-
bic article of toilet, is but little older
than the American republic itself. Not
even Lord Chesterfield used one, for,
writing to his son in 1T54, he said:
81 hope you take great care of your
mouth and teeth and that you clean
them every morning with a sponge
aid tepid water with few drops Of
arquebusade water dropped into 1t. /
do insist upon your never using those
sticks or any hard substance whatever
which always rub away the gums and
destroy the varnish Of the teeth"
In Henry Esmond'' Thackeray made
Lord Castlewood spend "a tenth part
of his day in the brushing of his teeth
and the oiling of his hair" and in doing
so the novelist committed double nm
achronislh. Not only was the tooth
brush unknown, but during the first
half of the eighteenth century oil fine
gentlemen wore wigs and had no use
for oil on their hair.-New York Sun.

The first Earl Of Shrewsbury, who
died in 1853, was born with n physical
pecullarity-the little finger and the
finger adjoining on each hand had only
one joint, the first two bones being
united. The same abnormality affected
all the toes except the big ones. To-
day In n direct masculine descendant
Of the first earl the same extraordinary
formation persists. 1t was transmitted

Sometime Wednesday night or

Railway Journeys of Long Ago.

1t was only the adventurous who
dared to face railway journey In
1923. A writer of that time comment
ing on the proposed line to Woolwich,
remarked, I'VE would as soon expect
the people of Woolwich to suffer them
selves to be fired off upon one of Con-
greve's rockets as trust themselves to
the mercy of such machine going at
such rate" The third class carriage
of those days was thing of horror.
.'It had no roof and no seats" writes
]. c. Wright. Unto this the passen-
gers were packed and had to stand
during the whole journey or II there
was room 50 SQUAT on the floor, exposed
TO the rain or sun and bombarded by
sparks emitted from the engine. Sec

visel TO provide themselves with gauze

nishes material for the funny stories
occurred at the B. e o. railway sta
tion at noon Thursday when someone
traded luggage with two young women
of this city. Give the jokesmith this
and let him imagine that the unknown
trader is travelling salesman and
that the luggage he left behind con-
sisted of samples and the joke is al
most complete, but to the owners Of
the vanished luggage it was no joke.
Miss Lucille Cochran alighted from
the train arriving here at 11:10 o'clock
and deposited a brown suitcase just
inside thc depot A few minutes
later Miss Cora Lamson, who intend
ed to go to Newark, sat black trav-
cling bag beside the suitcase. When
the two women returned there was a
black bag and brown suitcase in
! nearly the same place they had left
their own but the grim tragedy was
that the baggage was not theirs and
all efforts to find the missing luggage
proved unavailing. 1t is probable that
someone possessing luggage OF the
same description got mixed" in a
rush to get on the train and took the
wrong bag and suitcase. The mistake
will be discovered sooner or later and
then it is probable that exchanges and
apologies will be made.

Summer Complaint

During the hot weather of the sum-
mer months some member of almost
every family is likely to be troubled
with an unnatural loosoness of the
bowels, and it is of the greatest i'm
portance that this be treated promptly,
which can only be done when the med
icine is kept at hand. Mrs, f. f..

Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five
years ago, At that time | had severe
attack of summer complaint and was
suffering intense pain. One dose re-
lieved me. Other members of my fam
lily have since used it with like re-
suits
