side, was disappointing and when, with-
tn ten minutes of the close, a prominent
New Yorker sent in liberal selling orders,
the market was found to have no support
whatever And prices declined a full cent
In a twinkling. Lonk wheat came out
freely, lu the last half hour, the final quo
tations being only a fraction above the
inside of the day. May opened from
StiWASS to gUVi; sold a t 68%; declined to
57%; closing at 67%—*% of a cent under
yesterday. Cash wheat sold % of a cent
per bushel higher, but closed nominally
weak with the futures.
Corn—Prices of com were firmer and
higher on their own conditions, but lost
what that had gained ealy elm-ply from
sympathy with wheat in the final min
utes of trading. May corn opened from
58% to 48%; sold at 48%a49; declined to
48%; closing at 48%-%a% under yesterday.
Cash com sold at %a% per bushel better
than yesterday, but after trading in that
branch, the market was over, price3 e-
flected the weakness of futures.
Oats-Advanced with wheat and corrt
early and declined with them later. The
trade was very moderate. May closed %
cent under yesterday. Cash oats sold %
per bushel higher than yesterday.
Provisions—Stronger grain markets and
a firm hog market were favorites In
product early, and the packers against
them. A slight appreciation was doted in
prices’at the opening, but It soon disap
peared under the weight of offerings.
May pork closed 7% cents tinder yester
day; May lard 2% cents higher and May
riba a slight fraction higher.

Count des Garcts, a grandnephew of La-
fayetto, who has hunted in fcbo Rooklos,
told something about Ills favorite sport of
wolf hunting, for which he lias become
famous in Russia. “Wolf hunting,” he
said, “is probably the most dangerous
sport thoro is. With a servant and a cou
ple of fast horses attached to a sleigh I
have gono out nnd baited the ground for
tho brutes on numerous occasions.
A fat hog tied to a treo uevor foiled to
collect a pack. Tho trouble was tlmt it
drew too many. Tho wolves would gather
to the number of S00 or U00 and devour
tho pig. Then wo could dash upon tho
scene, and tho fun would ooimnonoc. They
aro ns fleet os n deer. To say that they nro
ns fleot us wolves would bo inoro‘ llko It.
They can outrun tho horses every time,
nnd if thoy aro not picked off as fast os
thoy como up you might as well give Up
tho light and purmlt yourself to bo de
voured. Imagine yourself making a run
ning flgbt with a band of 300 hungry,
maddened wolves, and with tho knowledge
that if one of tho fleet littlo brutes rcaohoa
your horses you aro n dead man, and you
can possibly imogino what a nervy sport
it is. It requires a cool head and a good
cyo. If you miss your mark, you’ro gone.
Yo'ur only dhanco of safety is in keeping
your horses up. It is gonorully a long
light You look back nnd sco tho car
casses of tho animals dotting tho snow for
a mile or two lu your wako, and still thoy
pursue you In groat numbers. Slowly tho
pack thins out. Many have dropped bleed
ing to tho ground. Others stop to devour
tho carcasses. Tho moro that fall tho
inoro timid tho rcsb become. Wlion you
finally outdlstanco tho pack, you lmvo
been through tho most trying ordeal that
tho most ardent sportsman could wish.
Yes, I consider wolf hunting tho mozt
dangorous sport thoro Is. Tiger hunting
In India is tame besldo it. If you bo Into
tho jungles of Indin to Rhoot u tiger, you
nro accompanied by n long rotlnuo. You
6hoob your prey from the. howdah of an
elephant. If you miss your victim, there
nro 20 bullets rendy for him boforo ho
eprlngs. • A person might ns well go tljier
hunting in a menagerie. Tho only unsat
isfactory part of tho sport which wolves
afford Is tlmtnftcr you are all through you
haven’t anything to show for your efforts.
But it Is groat sport.”—Boston Trans

Twenty-seven Unwise Mon.
An amusing Incident occurred at tho
closo of Sam Jones' sermon at Pulaski.
Stepping down from tho pulpit, folding
his hands across his breast, and looking
solemnly over tho audlenco, the groat re
vivalist Raid:
“I want all tho women in this crq^rd
who Iiavo not spoken n hhrsh word or har
bored van unkind thought toward their
husbands for a month past to stand up.”
Ono old woman, apparently on tho
shady side of CO, stood up.
“ Como forward and glvo mo your hand, ”
sold tho prcachor. •
Tho woman did so, whereupon Jones
said:
“Now turn around and let this audlenco
seo tho best looking woman In the coun
try.”
| After taking her seat the revivalist ad
dressed tho moil:
“Now, I want all the men In this orowd
who lmvo not spoken a hard word or har
bored an unkind thought toward their
wives for a month past to stand Up.”
Twonty-soven great big strapping fel
lows hopped out of tho audience with all
tho alacrity of champagne corks.
14 Como forward and give mo your hands,
my dear boys.”
Jones gnvn each ono a vigorous shake,
after which ho ranged all of thorn sldo by.
sldo In front of tho pulpit and faolng tho
audlenco. Ho looked them over carefully
and solomnly, nnd then, turning around
to tho audlonce, ho said:
‘*I want you all to take a good look at
tho 97 biggest liars In tho stato of Ten-
ncEsoo.”—Hartwell (Ga.) Bun.

Paradise Myths.
Paradise opinions scorn to owe muoh of
tholr popularity to peculiar local fitness.
Tho Inhabitants of tho Kongo basin be
lieve Hint paradise in n “valloy of peace,”
where good spirits float about, continually
engaged in catching mosquitoes, and thus
protectlng t tho (deep of kings and great
men who aro In a perpetual slumber.
Tho Inhabitants of tho hot, sandv, shade-
icssdcBcrt Island of Dotocu linaglno pnra-
dlso to L a land of cool streams, shaded by
gigantlo forest growths. It may be well
to mention in this connection that the
heavon ideas of all desert dwellers pictures
a thickly wooded hereafter.
Tho Yokoots of eastern filberts believe
that heaven will bo a country provided
with ready lighted fires and many blub
bering kettles and flsh oil.
When the Rov. Claus Hansen, a Norwe
gian missionary, was picturing heaven to
an Eskimo, the savngo flatly refused to
embrace Christianity because, according
to his Idea, the hereafter should provide
ploujy of Ice, snowshoca and sea monsters. ■

Carroll Tralnor was to go to Mexico to
make his fortune, and Lila Havens bad
promised to remain true to him till his re
turn. When they parted, ho decided to re
turn to Baltimore at onoo and make ar
rangements to go to Mexico. Lila Havens
went on alone to friends oho was to visit
at Sharpsburg.
“Wo expected you this morning, 14 said
her hostess.
‘‘Yes, dear, but, you see, I was unavoid
ably delayed. What a lovely day it has
becnl”
“And there la a telegram for you, Lila.”
“ Reallyf Something aunt forgot to
mention, I dare say. Exoueo me.” She
broke it open carelessly. “Doai me!” Bhe
puckered her brow. “Only fancy I The
admiral Is coming down here tomorrow.”
. Tbe admiral appeared on thefiocnoat
noon tbe day following.
“My doar Lila,” ho said, “I must have
a little talk with you.”
“Yes, uncle. 14
• 4 ’Lila, my dear”—they were quite
alono—“I have had a proposal for your
hand in marriago. If I had chosen tho
man, I could not bo better pleased than to
see you the wife of Judge Mason.”
Uncle! Ho Is more than twlco my age.
I never dreamed of It.”
“Ho Is a young man, my dear—a vigor
ous young man. Ho will idolize you. You
knew ho admired you.”
“Ho Is a widower.”
“But hia only daughter is married.”
“Oh, undo, it—it la out of tho ques
tion!”
“My dear, you glvo mo great cause for
apprehension. It will disappoint mo ter
ribly If you do not acoept him.”
“But, undo, I oni but 18. Why should
I marry for live or six years yctf I’ll never
bo young but once—noverl” she said pa
thetically. “And I am not a penniless
oroaturo that roqulros a homo. 1 might bo
allowed to pick and chooso.”
“My dear,” the old man looked sud
denly grave and pale, “thero is bad
news. You must make up your mind to
moot It bravoly.”
Lila’s face reflected somo of tbe paleness
of his own.
“Undo—ray—my moneyf Hnvo Host
It?”
“Thore lias been a terrible flnanolol fail
ure. I hardly know how to toll you. Wo
only heard yesterday, and wo don’t know
for euro es yet. I am afraid—Lila, you
must bear up—I am afraid you havo lost
nearly all you had.”
Tho girl loaned baok lnthechalr. Thero
was a stunned look In hor faco. She did
not speak. Tho admiral went on speaking
more rapidly:
“I can hardly blame myself. It was on
undreamed of thing. Of course thoro is a
little real cstato left you. Heaved knows
I wish It hud been all In houses. Judge
Mason”—
•“Oh,” tho girl brolco In suddenly, “he
won’t want mo now—when bp knows I
am penniless!”
“My child, ho camo as soon as ho knew
It.”
She went to hor room and locked horsolf
lfl. Then she wrote to Carroll Tralnor:
“I am no longor rich. Thoro Is no uso
of an engagement. I havo lost everything.
Perhaps you will bo rich somo day, Car-
roll. If so, you must como and And mo.”
But she said nothing of *Hon. Thomas
Mason.
Tralnor felt grlovcd at tho tono of tho
lottcr. Ho wroto back ropronchfully. 8ho
had made n promise. Perhaps she sought
to bo released from It. If so, ho would re
lease her. In hor plnco ho would hardly
havo so written.
But, then, ho was only n man.
• The girl’s soul sickened within hor.
brief noto from Tralnor told her that he
was just leaving for tho gulf const, whero
ho would And n steamship for Vera Cruz.
Ho thought ho would novor return to tho
United States.
A great despair enmo ovor hor. In hor
scnsltlvo stato she felt that ho nolcngor
oared for her.
Sho capitulated nnd consented to rcoelvo
Judgo Mason’s addressos.
Thrco months had passod. Tho wedding
was to take placo tho .last week of Juno.
Miss Havous was to bccomo Mrs. Thomas
Mason.
Tho wedding invitations wero about to
be sent out—tho wedding day was flxod a
fortnight honce. Miss Havoiis, out on a
shopping orrand. turned a street core
sharply and ran against somo ono. 8ho
looked up and grow pale. It waa Carroll
Tralnor.
“Youl” she said faintly.
“You didn’t oxpoct to see mof LUo,
for hoavon’s sake, is that truef You aro
going to marry Judgo Mason?”
fihe nodded with an offort. The idea of
tho marriage, to which she had become
reconciled, but novor enthusiastically dis
posed, suddenly seemed sickening, lior
whole soul rovolted.
“Carrolll” she gasped. "Ob, Carroll)
If thero were any escape!”
“Escape? What do you mean? Isn’t it
your own choosing? Aro you being forcod
into marrying tho old widower?”
"I—I—oh, you sceraod not to want mo.
And unole and aunt scorned not to want
mo. Nobody seemed to want me—exoept
Judgo Mason. He was very kind, but I
never have loved him. Carroll, if you bad
not deserted mo!”
“I—dcsortod youl I’ve just returned
from Mexico,” said Tralnor, “and I’m go
ing hack there at onoe. I’ve got a splun
did chance. It’s lonesome for A man to be
by himself. Tho climate Is like paradise.”
Tho admiral and bis good lady wero at
tho broakfast table.
His mornlrg mall lay boforo him. Ho
took up the top letter of all and gazed se
verely at it. Tho handwriting was Lila's.
The letter bad been posted tho ulght be
fore. He opened it, read It in silence and
passed It to his wife.
“Do not send the invitations,” it said,
“for I shall not marry Judgo Mason. Ho
is a good man and will understand It was
a mistake. I love some one else and havo
gono away to marry him. We shall spend
our honeymoon In a palm thatohed hut In
Mexico.”
Mrs. Blair could not speak. After a
moment's silcnco the admiral observed:
“Oil the whole, I’m glad the marriago Is
off. Tho judge's daughter was greatly op
posed. Sho might have mode things un
pleasant after a bit.”
And still again, “ShoV a plucky little
creature, Liln Is—God bless her!”—New

The Selene# of Wrinkles,
An Italian scientist, M. Montegazso,
has written an essay upon tho science of
wrinkles. He believes one’s history can be
largely told by the lines upon tbe face.
Entering Into a description of the different
varieties and their meanings, he Buys:
Horizontal lines aoroos the forehead are
found oven In obtldren who are riokc f s or .
Idiots, and being out In tbe aun with the *
eyes unshaded will produoe them prema
turely, but they are natural at 40 or
earlier.
“Vertical lines between the eyes denote
thought and study, sinoo deep concentra
tion oontraots the eyebrows. Grief and
worry produce tho saino effect, and fre
quently repented either leaves a permanent
fold in the skin. Arched wrinkles just
above the nose Indicate extreme suffering,
either mental or physical. The earliest
wrlnklos of *11, and tho most unavoida
ble, are those which run from either side
of the nostril down to the mouth, and
these are produced by smiling, and even
the motion of the jaws In masticating—a
warning to gum cheweral”,
Gunning In the Old Days la Mntyland.
From Ootober to April those easy going
gentry turned their backs on tillage and
found all their joy in hunting and gun
ning. By the single barreled flintlocks
hung on wooden hooks In the walls of the
hall or the diulng room one might tell off
tho men and boya In a family, while tbe
foxhounds, water dogs and pointers that
romped in the courtyard were to be reck
oned with tho hor6os and the guns. Whon
the young master mounted hla nag and
oallcd his dogs for a weok’s sport In tho
woods or along the woter courses, he took
but small thought for tho roof that should
lodge him at nightfall or tho supper that
might bo sproad, for ho knew there was a
