GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chic iso, Dec. 6.—At the close of the
wheat market today price* had fully re-
covered from & weak point reported early
and urere even higher than at the and
of yesterday's trade. The government’s
figures on wheat feeding which were is-
cued yesterday afternoon did not confirm
the extravagant estimates made by Indi
viduals, hut the effect on today’s market
was very mild for the reason that within
the past two days influential parties had
quoted an amount suspiciously close to
thut approximated by the agricultural
department at Washington and had oper
ated on that basis. Three different re
ports on the growing winter wneat were
out today, but the CTOwd were pleased to
reject 'them all on account of the wide
difference shown'between them. An euay
feeling obtained in the market at the
start, prices receding to a slight extent
during the early part of the session, but
rallying on covering by shorts and buy
ing against "puts” and presenting much
firmness at the dose. May wheat open,
ed from 60%a% to 60, sold between 59%
and 60%. closing at tha latter—%a% cent
higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was
easy, sales being made at % cent decline
from yesterday. The nominal close was
firmer with the futures.
Com.—The speculative elemtn in corn
continues to look to the receipts for In
spiration. Although today’s arrivals of
291 cars Were 91 more than expected ihcy
were not viewed as extraordinary, but
quite the contrary. The sentiment of
the crowd shows appreciation of the
changing conditions, and values reflect
the improvement. Prices were firm to
day, the close being slightly under the
outside figures. May com opened at 49%,
sold between 49%a% and 50%, closing at
49%—U of a cent higher than yesterday.
Cash corn was about steady. A shade
better v prices were obtained in some In
stance is.
Oats -were without enlivening feature.
The strength and weakness of fhe — sur
rounding pits found a reflection in the
market, but the trade was so slight that
prices scarcely changed a fraction. The
late Btrength In wheat was responsible
for a firm close with a gain of % of a
cent over yesterday for May. Cash oats
were quotably steady.
Provisions.—When the market for prod
uct opened a Coss from yesterday was
shown in the first orders executed. This
was due to te doleful reports from the
stock yards. A subsequent report gave
improvement to the live hog trade and a
prompt rally took place In provisions.
Simultaneous strength In grain added
weight to the firmness and the prices
cf.osed at the outside point of the day,
with January pork and ribs 2%a5 cents
higher than yesterday and January lard
2%a5 cents higher.

SASH WEIGHTS.
A Single Window May I1at« Nearly a
Ton and a Dig Building Many Ton*.
There nro fow articles of moro common
ueo than sash weights. A few windows
are still nmdo to bo held up with batches,
just as there nro still key winding watches;
but, llkotho watches, their number is pro
portionately so small as to bo scarcoly ap
preciable. Sash weights nro mado of Iron
nud lend. Tho iron weights aro commonly
mado of tin scrap. Loud, being tho hc&vlor
snotnl, is used In places where tho weight
6pacoat command is not sufficient for iron
counterbalances of the roqulrod weight
Sash weights nro made in rogular sizes,
ranging from 3 pounds to 80 pounds, and
undor 3 pounds and over 80 thoy aro made
to order. Iron sash weights of tho rogular
sizes aro always oast round; In sizes small
er or largor thoy nro oast square. Load
wolghts arb mado both round and squnro
In all sizes.
Sash Weights of 150 to 200 pounds nro
not common, but thoy would not bo con
sidered remarkablo. Weights aro somo-
tlmes mado 800 pouuds and up to 400
pounds. Thus (hero might boon a single
sash window nearly hulf a ton of weights
and on a two sash window moro than
threo-quarters of a ton. So perfectly bal
anced aro weights and windows that thoy
enn bo raised and lowered easily. Heavy
weights are never put In by guess, nor Is
it necessary to adjust them after thoy aro
in placo. The sash is weighed beforo the
counterbalances aro ordorod, and tho
weights aro mado of precisely tho right
proportion.
Tho production of sash wolghts depends
upon tho degroo of activity in building.
Tho total annual consumption in this
country is probably about 150,000 tons.
Thoro aro mado In Now York, Brooklyn
and Jorsoy City, together, probably from
10,000 to 15,000 tons of sash wolghts an
nually. Not many Now York sush weights
get moro than 150 miles away, except
When sold for export. Weights are sont
with all sashes exported to South America,
Africa or wherever thoy may go.
Tho aggregate weight of tho counterbal
ances used In many of tho largor modern
buildings may bo counted in tons. Thus
in such a building ns tho ProducaExchango
there aro probably from GO to 80 tons of
eaflh weights; in tho Hotel Majostio moro
than 40 tons.—New York Sun.
Surprised the Astronomer.
Dr. Flamsteed, who was astronomer
royal in Now ton's time, was rather tic
kled by tbo belief of Ids neighbors in his
powers of consulting the stars about ter
restrial affairs. An old washerwoman at
Greenwich, wiio had been robbed ot her
linen, cumo to consult him about its re
covery. So ho set about drawing squares
and circles and suggosted that if sho wont
into n certain field ho would not bo sur
prised if Bho found her lost linen in n
ditch, but when sho cumo back "with
hasto and joy” and a half crown in hor
hand for his fco he was not only voiy
much surprised, but alarmed. "Good
woman," ho said, ‘‘I am heartily glad you
have found your llnon, but I assuro you I
knew nothing of it and Intended to road
you a lecture on tho folly of applying to
any person to know events not in human
power to tell, but I seo satan has a mind I
should iloul with him, and never will I at
tempt such on affair again so long as I
live."—San Francisco Argonaut.

A Frozen Note.
Of all sufferings through cold, noxt to
actually dying, a frozen nose Is tbs most
painful. Happily such a state of anatomy
is extremely raro In this country, but in
colder climes It Is of frequent occurrence.
Tho rough and ready cure is tbo applica
tion of snow, which docs not always have
tho desired effect. Therefore electricity
cornea In, and through the medium of an
electrode applied to each side of tho nos
trils creates a reddening of the tissues,
which lasts several days and finally re
stores the natural color.—8k Louis Post-
pispateb.
ALL A MISTAKE.
"Tho most charming girl In thoworldl"
said Mr. Baltic emphatically.
"That's what nil of ’em says," said his
friend, Nicholas Pcokloy, who rejoiced in
tho glaring foot that he was nn old bnoholor
past all redemption. “It’s quite surpris
ing what a numberof most charming girls
thoro nro. Well, Baltic, I wish you joy, I’m
euro."
Mr. Baltic rubbed his hands complacent-
ly-
“You see,” said lie, ".he I. a rose,« one
may any, In the lull bloom, la my Myrtllla,
juat 87.”
“Sho Iooka all o( that,” eatd hla friend
dubiously.
“Envious dog!” thought Battle to him-
6Cl( aa ho trotted briskly down the street.
Aud thus meditating Mr. Brutus Bal-
tlo turned hla steps to tho casket that con
tained his heart's jowol—In other words,
tho house where Miss Myrtllla Hopklnson
lived.
Tho front door was open, so Mr. Baltlo
wnllicd complacently In with tho air of
a man who fools himself thoroughly and
ontlrcly at homo and tiptoed up tho stairs,
“Dear girl, I’ll give her a surprise, "said
Mr. Baltlo to hlmsolf.
Miss Myrtllla sat at tho parlor table, her
back toward tbo door, busily employed In
rending n lotter, while around hor lay scat
tered pons, ink and pnpor and tho para
phernalia of epistolary occupation.
“Ono of my notos," thought tho love
smitten swain. But while thoso thoughts
passed through his mind a board creaked
nwarnlng. Mlsn llopklnson looked around
with a llttlo shriek.
"Mygoodnessgraolouel” orlodMyrtllla,
jumping up.
"1 hnvo caught you,” crlod Mr. Baltlo,
playfully making a grasp at tho noto.
But Miss Hopklnson evaded Ills move
ment and thrust tho noto under a pllo ot
nowspnpery.
Bat ns sho did so Mr. Baltlo porcolved,
to Ills lnciprcsslblo surprise and dismay,
that tho billet, although In an unralst&k-
ablo masculine hand, was nono of his pen
ning.
"Myrtllln!" hooxolalmcd reproachfully.
“Oh, Brutus, door, liow you startled my
poor norvesl" cooed Myrtllln, tripping
forward, with outstrotchod hands.
Beforo Mr. Baltlo could select appro
priate words I11 which to doninnd an ex
planation from Ids sweetheart the teto-n-
toto was unfortunately Interrupted by tlia
entrnneo of Myrtllla'e married slstor. But
as they parted on tho stntrouso Mr. Baltlo
said:
"Myrtllla, when I camo this after
noon"—
“Yes, dear," purred tho fair onBlnvor.
—"you woro reading a lottor—n latter
from n gentleman.”
Miss Hopklnson colorod.
“Brutus, you surely don't doubt mol”
"Will you lot ino soo tho lottor?”
"No."
Mr. Baltlo bnnged out of tho house.
Miss Hopklnson dlssolvod Into tears.
"Ob, dear! Ob, dcarl Oh, doarl" sho
bowalleil herself. "Wliatshall Ido?”
Mr. Baltlo went homo In a towering
passion of Jealous rage and pennod n note
which would Imvo done no discredit to
any tragody hero In tho land:
“Fnlso one, I glvo you 84 hours for an
oxplnnntlon. If at the expiration of that
porlod you still persist In refusing to show
mo your clandestine correspondence, I shall
regard our mutual relations at an end.
"B. B.”
“I rather think that will bring her
around If anything will,” ho said to him
self. "And I won’t post It cither. I’ll
loave It at tho door myself.”
Tho dusk was only faintly Illuminated
by hero and there tho yollow gleam of an
occasional gas lamp when Mr. Baltlo
stalkod up to tho resldonco of Mlss.Hop-
klnson onoo more. Two figures were at
tho area gate—a woman and a man whis
pering In tho twilight.
"Good!" thought Mr. Baltlo. “It’s
Bridget and hor young man. I'll give my
noto to Bridget.”
But ns ho approached tho dread oertaln-
ty etolo ovor him that It waB not Bridget
and hor lover, hut Myrtllla and—and—
who?
Strlokon, as It were, to stono, ho watohod
Myrtllln glvo tho man money. IIo heard
hurried sentonoos exohanged. Ho saw tho
villain orccp away, like n sorpont, through
tho dusk.
Now was tbo moment for action.
"Woinanl” ho cried, pounolng forth on
tho unconscious Miss Myrtllla. "I have
detected your maneuvers nt last! Quick,
glvo mo tho packet of letters he handed
youl Isawhlml"
"I will dlesoonorl” soroochod Miss Myr
tllla.
In tho conflict tho box fell to tho ground,
Its lid separating Itself and rolling away.
Something clinked out upon tho pavo-
mont. Brutus stooped to pick. It up. It
was a douhlo sot of falao tooth I
Myrtllla sank an tiro area stop, hiding
hor foes In liar hands.
“Is this nil?" said Mr. Baltic.
"Alii" echoed Myrtllla. "Oil, Brutus,
I would hnvo porished sooner than lot you
know!”
"And that—that villain”—
"Was tho dentist's young man,” sobbed
Miss Hopklnson.
"My Myrtlllal And that note?"
“Don't look at mo so, Brutus. It was
tho dontlet's bill. Aud now I know you
hato mol”
"Not at all, dear." said Mr. Baltlo, rais
ing his tearful betrothed. "Lot mo whis
per you a'sccrot—mlno aro fnlso too."
And so Cupid, tho llttlo god of loro,
folded his wings peacefully above the
empty box which had onoe held Myrtllla
Dopklnson’s complete set of “uppers and
lowers.”—Boston Globo.
Action of Rifle Ballets.
Rome Important observations on the
effect of modern rlflo bullets have boon
published by Professor Dubols-lloymoud,
tho celebrated physiologist. A comparative
ly small holo was enussd by tho passage of
the old rlQo ball through tho body, hut
tho now bullet has an astonishing effect.
If, for Instance, tho ball passes through
tho head of a corpse, tho skull Is burst
asunder In all directions, and very little of
tho head remains. Tiie way In which Du-
bels-Rcyinond explains this phenomenon
Is graphic.
A ploco of bottlo lao, or sealing wax, If
long oxposod to uniform pressure, dis
solves, but It bursts Into sharp edged
splinters If thoblow of abammorproduces
on It an effect which, measured hi kilo
gram' inetetB, Is oqual to perhaps a small
fraction of tho pressure when slowly ex
ercised. Tbo conditions of aggregation,
therefore, can only be recognized by tho
conscqucncos of mechanical operations on
such bodies, and thoso consoguoncck are
quite different, though tho operations do
not differ at all In quality, hut only in
duration. Healing wax Is an example of a
Imdy which, while apparently solid, turns
out to be a fluid If It Is operated upon
slowly enough.—Detroit Tribune.

THE OLDEST FICTION.
A Neat Little Story That Was Written
Some 3,SOO Yurs Ago.
One of the most ancient oxamples of
flotlon in the world, one which has sur
vived the rise aud fall of many an ancient
and many a modern empire, is mi Egyp
tian romance entitled "Tho Tale of tho
Two Brothers.” We have tbo original
manuscript In the British museum. It)
is written on 10 sheets of papyrus, In a
lino bleratlo hand, and It was penned
sumo 0,200 years ago by a Theban scribe
named Knnana. Tbls Enuana was libra
rian of tho palace to King Merenptah, tho
supposed pharaoh of the exodus, and he
appears to havo written the tale by order
of the treasurer for the entertainment at
the crown prince, Sotl-Morenptnh, who
subsequently reigned as Setl II. Tbls
prince hsis signed hla name In two places
on tho beck of tho manuscript, thoso being
probably the only autograph signatures of
any Egyptian king which hare come down
to our time.
This most venerable and precious doou-
ment was purchased In Italy by Mino.
U’Orblnsy, who sold It In 1807 to the au
thorities ot the British museum, and It Is
now'kuown as the D’Orblnoy papyrus.,
Tho story begins exactly llko an old fush-j
loned fairy tale:
“There were two brothers, children ot
ono rnothor and ono father. Anpu was tho
namo of tho big brother, and Botuu wns
the namo of the llttlo brother. Now, Aupui
hail u house ami a wife, and his llttlo
brother llrod with him nubia serving man.
It was Bctau who drovo the cattle to tho
Holds and tilled tho ground. It wus ho
who thrashed the corn aud did tho field

bo had not his equal In ull tho country.
Ho followed his cattle every day, ami lie
