The following precipitation I'm Nh7

CHICAGO. Nav s-Trade in wheat re-
mained restricted today but the market
displayed great strength and May sold at
So a new high record price, just before the
close. compared with the previous hlEh
mark of S2.s51s. established yesterday
Most of the days business was in the new
crop deliveries. There was good deal OF
nervouness over the Government report IS
sued at the close.
It put the condition of winter wheat on
May at 1872, against 63.i on April |, ana
S2.4 on May !, 1916. The area remaining
was placed at 27,653,O00. compared with
34s29OOO acres at the harvest last year.
The indicated yield Is 366.1l6,OOO bushels''
against 1,7i4 900 bushels harvested in
1916 and 673,9i7 900 bushels in 1915.
The available supply in the United
states, according TO Bradstreets, is 80
202. 900 bushels, an increase of G,3l,uOo
bushels for the week and compares with
56,144OOO bushels year ago.
Canadian bonded wheat in the United
States has been taken out of the Dominions
supply The visible stock in Canada is So
$4,000 bushels, a decrease of 13,75G,OOO
bushels for the week and compares with
75,255,O00 bushels last year.
The low on May was s2.S6, the high SO
and the close $297, against S2.s3 at the
end yesterday: the bottom on July was
s2.26 the top s2.349i and the final S2.32l4
to $2.31, compared with S2.26l4, yestcr-
days final price the best on September was
Sl.95, the low S1.9Oi2. the close Sl.9ii2 to
s1944, contrasted with $l90la at the
close yesterday.
The cash article was very strong, owing
to congestion at Winnipeg. Canadian wheat
is higher than American grades, and con-
sequenty not available for millers in the
United States. The larger mills are call
ing for a deposit of IS a barrel on all future
flour sales for June deliveries. This is
equivalent to 81 a bushel for protection on
long wheat. The market at Liverpool was
dull.
Fifty years ago cash wheat in Chicago
was $3.50 for No. 1 spring and $3.50 the
top for No. spring. There was no trade
in futures then. No . corn, S1.Ol q l,04, and

open them. For instance. it wuulu
be difficult to conceive Of auythiel
more depressing than for the victim
Of suffering to be3ovc that IL some
unar>ounta5ie way divine purpose j.
being accomplished by means OF hi
painful experience. Therefore one OF
the things that the sick man needs
to know is that his Maker is not (,
party 10 his undoing, not in the re
motcst degree. With that thought
clearly implanted in consciousness the
journey healthWard has been we'll be
gun and the succeeding stages should
follow in natural sequence. Hc needs
t. know that since infiHit2 iNtelh-
genle in its very nature could not be
the au-ho. Of such c.acorL~Nt con
diti0n as sickness, and since, il God
he omnipotent. there is no olher
power than could be its author, the
basis .hen of sickness, like Ignorance,
and other forms of evil. must be
nonentty. or negatieC; not some
taing, hut the absence or lack Of
something.
In this way the sick man may
learn that disease is not the result
of any real law, but is the expression,
manifestation, or effect Of certain er-
roneOuS modes or habits OF human
belief. which though they may have
been for ages formulating ard faste0-
inr themselves upon an apparently
helpless humanity, are found on
examination to be utterly unlawful
and abnormal, and without justifica-
ton other than that mankind for
long time has been asserting and sub
u7ittlnE 10 them.
1t is Just as if the people Of ma
ten for years had permitted tnem-
selves to be governed by an enact
n1ert which they supposed 10 be a
law. but which when finally tested
in their higher courts has been dis
cernei to be not a lew, but an un-
warranted assumption Of power and
authority. There never had been re2;
occasion for any one TO yield 06edi-
cnce 20 its terms, and those who were
influenced TO 90 so, IN following the
line c. common consent. and who sui
fered Inconvenience and less thereby,
we're at no time suffering from the
workings OF law; they suffered only
from their erroneous submission to
that which was not q law at all, but
the absence of law, a negation. Had
these people been better informed,
they would have been disposed to re
sizt rather than TO submit, Resist
ance would have been Of LITTLE avail
however. unless conducted on inteIll-
gent and we,l-defincd lines. Thus,
if those who frs d;zcarned the fal-
si=v Of the allecsd law were to have
undertaken merely to defy il, without
establishing their right 70 do SO IN ac-
cordarca with TIE orderly processes
fer testing the validity of an enact
ment, they doubtless would have IN
vited more trouble than they were for
the tine being capable o. meeting;
The citizen Who Is even half wise will
rot dispute points Of law with the
policeman Who undertakes 10 enforce
against the liberty Of that citizen q
rule CT regulation that the clt!2e0
knows to he unlawful. There IS
proper and adequate way for him T.
obtain his rights, and the mora ho
resists the policeman the less stan1-
inc he may have in the court to which
he must finally appeal.

SICKNESS NOT TO BE IGNORED


Sickness is O. phase of evil aGd il
therefore needs to be considered from
the standpoint Of evils essential 1e@-
ativeness, if it is to ne handled in
tellieentIy. This Of course doea not
mean that the practice Of Christian
Science consists Of reiterating in 2

What it means is that if the sicl
man has been regarding disease as

in that direction, and he certainly

FOUND THE PRISONER GUILTY
But Jury's Verdict Had Nothing to Do
With Charge on Which Defendant
Was Tried.

A barrister with a long experience
Of queer juries in the mining regions
of Pennsylvania tells the following
amusing story as illustrating their &C.
centricities:
A man was charged with committing
a murderous assault upon another as
result of some political differences.
The assault having been committed
at night, there appeared to be some
difficulty in identifying the assailant,
and, as a matter of fact, the counsel
for the defense made out an excellent
case for the prisoner, calling witnesses
to testify that he was nowhere near
the spot where the assault took place
on the night in question.
Everybody concerned fully expected
that the jury would bring in a verdict
Of acquittal, yet, to the general aston
ishment, the foreman announced that
the prisoner had been found guilty.
'But," he added, observing the gen
eral CONSERVATION created by his state
ment, mot guilty of this assault, yer
honor. This is the spalpeen who stole
Biddy McCarthy's pig last year, and we
found him guilty Of that!"
