SHIPMENTS OF GRAIN,

•OPENING OF THE RUSSIAN .PQBXS CAUSES A DECLINE.

Vhest Showed Weakness Throughout the Day's Trading-—Corn and Oats Also Weak—Provisions at Loir Mark.

I' ^Chicago, April 2'.—The Influence of the Igraneral opening of the Russian ports and jthe consequent "heavy grain shipments from that country was strongly fait in the •Wheat market here today and July closed with a net decline of "cents. Corn and teats were also weaik, losing cerrt and cents respectively. (Provisions sotd low*r than on any previous day of tiie season.

Wheat showed weakness ell the session. JPhe current news brought little erjoourttgoment (for holders and as the local sentiment was bearish ajs.d the professionals Inclined to take the selling side, while Jthere was a conspicuous absence of eup$xrt .frtoan any quarter, the market was tiopressed from the start. The weekly (Russian and Darnrbian shflpments were ienorrootfs, 5,192,000 bushel, due probably to 1the opening of Russian navigation every Jwhere. This made fhe 'total world's sh'ipCments 7,438,000 .bushel. The visible supply (did n»0t shoiw as la-nge a doorcase as has been expected—oply 537,000 (bushel, where ithere was a decrease of 2,856,000 bushel a tyear agto. That and the fine growing rweather were the reasons for the weaker (Wheat m'arket at the opening and generally during th forenoon. The Minneapolis •anki Iulu-th receipts were .larger than a fwedk ago at 609 cars todlay compared with 477 1'aSt Monday aiid 514 on the similar day i-«f lasj year. Some belated holders of May ^heaped the forertoon weakness by pressing them for sale. They did not have Hmuoh in the aggregate but dn the absence 'lor scarcity of buyers they had to make a

fheir

ood deal of noise to arouse attention to offers and helped to widen the spread between May and July to 1% cents per {bushel. July wheat opened about cents •ffciwer at 64%, fell to 64%@ftl% split, up to 64% and at rtoon was W/4, cents. The mar-) fcet continued to weaiken during the last 'hour and July ttoiitched 64 cents but retec'ted to 6414, closing easy ait that figure. •Gorn was quiet and lower, May showing !the most weakness. The weakness displayed hy wheat and large estimated reoeipits for tambrrow caused considerable Oiquiidat'fon and July opened lower at! 30%, sold off ZOVz 'and closed easy at itflrat figure.

In oats only a fair business was doing, '.Jthe feelintg being wmk in sympathy with i'/whefa't and corn. July opened Vfe cents lower at 19% and cTosed easy at 19%. I ProvlWbns were very weak, principally I due to the larrge ^receipts of hogs, although 1 \4the general weakness of the grain markets,

HWad some Influence. Aftr th opening deycllne there 'was a fair demand but selling wwas very heavy during the past hour and', jlthe season's low price was again broken, (truly pork oToise'd 20 cents lower a't $8.37%.

Juuy Tatfd closed 10 cents lower at $4.83. \July ribs closed 10 'cents ilorweir at $4.25: 60

Mrs. S|irratf a .^Lrrest.

On the night of Monday, April 17, Mrs. Surratt was arrested. While the officers were searching her house Payne appeared at the door. Ho was admitted by one of the searching party, and, being examined as to his identity, stated that he had been engaged by Mrs. Surratt to dig a gutter for her in the back yard the next morning (he had a pick on his shoulder) and had come to receive further instructions as to the work. This at 11 o'clook at night! Mrs. Surratt' wds summoned, and, whon asked if she know tbe man, said vehemently, raising her hands to heaven, "Before God I do not know this man and did not engage him to dig a gutter for me!" Payne bad spont the night at Mre. Surratt'# on one or twtii oocqsions, had visited tbe house frequently, and she knew him Well.

It is said by those who have employed them that the Chinese always cook by rule, if they have any rule to go by, following the recipe with the same 'scientific oxaotness with which tbe druggists put up a pvesorlption hence their results aro equally satisfactory. They are economical cooks. They never burn or 6poil anything or spill materials tni the floor consequently nothing that goos through their hands is wasted.

As soon as tho HIilo folks of^oar salghborhoodiheard about Goldie, mjr butteslly pet,, khey all wanted to hare one^too. But Nelsie Folaom, a littla &$eaiM>l who lives. just. across the road^romnje, was the only otie Vho had any look.

She was runnlng o&t in the yard eafly one morning, when she nearly stepped on a large rod butterfly whioh was slowly crawling, along the board walk.

She picked4t up on a bit of board—just as she hacMaeard ma 4say thab I picked up Goldie—and carried it in to her mother. The Mg wings with their pretty? blaok markings seemed crumpled ai^l lame and the poor little fellow could not dy at all. "Oh, momma, please let me keep him like Aunt Helen," said N?lsio, jumping up and down with joy at the thought. of having such queer pet for her very own.

So heir mother 1st her and made sugar 6irup for him to drink. He proved to be a very-hearty eater he could make away with a lot of big drops in a day. It did him good, too, for he grew strong and seemed quite healthy. Although he never learned to fly he oould crawl all about the room and seemed r&tfly to love his gentle little mistress'and liked nothing better than to be lifted on her shoulder and carried about the house and yard, and lam quite sure that he knew the sound of her voice andTliked to be talked to by her.

If she bad not tbken him in, he probably would'have died long ago so you see Nelslo was a "good Samaritan." Ask your mamma what that means.—Youth's Companion.

When the teacher gets cross the readers gets bad, The lines jiszlo round till the chilluns is sad, And Billyboy puffs and gets red in the face, As *if he and the lesson were ranging a race, Till she hollers out "Next" as sharp as a pinWhen the teacher gets cross anj^ the dimples goes in. When the teacher gets good, her smile is so bright The tables gets straight and the readers gets right, The pluses and minus comes trooping along, And Aggers add up and stops being wrong, And we Chilians would like (but we dassent) to Bhoufc, When the teacher gets good and the dimples cornea out. —Rochester Post-Express (Women's Edition).

.^.3^,,,^,,. Matting. Housekeepers are beginning to learn that the very cheap qualities of matting are really*very dear. In the bedroom of an adult perhaps, and well covered with durable rugs, the cheap matting serves a purpose, but it is folly to depend upon it in tho nursery, dfnim? or living room. The moro expensive^ w&l made, jolntless mattings offer a much 'better final economy. These may be, itjdesired, sewed like carpets, and, though no matting adapts itself well to refittifig In another room, the jointless variety do&s so better than ary other sort. In cpfdred matting dark shades cannot be recommended to wear, with perhaps the exception- of the old gold tint. This color produces in the wearing process a natural matting shade that is not objectionable. *r-'

Vv Idea.

'Afternobn tests may, if tactfully managed,- become a delightful means of bringing the women of a largo church congregation into cordial relations and into sympathy with each other. The events should bo purely sooial, without a subscription paper, or a request to join a society or contribute to a fund interlarded. They may be given in church parlors and engraved or printed cards sent out to them. The rooms should be.ujade as attractivo as for a. tea at one's own homo and tho refreshment simple, but good as far as it goes. The reception committee should not visit with each other, but aim to make those who know the fewest people and who are most distradght tho most welcome and, as the old phrase goes^/'at home."

Variefcy la Food.

While it is true that "variety is the spice of life," the best judgment of caroful students is in the line of simplicity in the matter, of. food. Have an adequato supply, have it thoroughly and intelligently cooked, but let it be plain, simple, digestible. In this direction a western health journal pertinently if not very elegantly remarks "Never have a great variety at one meal, but make tho variety from ono meal to the next. Did you ever stop to think what a conglomerated mass your stomach contained after eating a groat variety at one mealf If not, just imagino what you have eaten and driink.mixed up in a bowl tfnd' then ask-yourself the question whether it is any wonder that people havo dyspepsia." jL
