Wheat is the favorite speculation
for "plungers" for the moment, the
factors being favorable to speculative
activity. The late season, uufavor
able conditions, and prospective short
age abroad make for uncertainty.
The New Y'ork Journal of Commerce
says there is a probability that our
wheat harvest of the present year will
fall considerably below that of last
year, audit may be under the average
of receut years. The increase in north
western Canada which was naturally
to be expected will probably not be
fully realized, audit is fairly certain
that the Russian and Roumanian sup
ply will be short. There was suffic
ient ground for an advance in prices
in the actual wheat market, and more
especially in options for future deliv
ery, but the moment the speculative
spirit was aroused this was sure to be
exaggerated. The eager desire to make
money quickly by taking risks on mar
gius was awakened and buying orders
were lureil to the exchanges from every
quarter, with the eflect of whirling
prices upward. The plungers with
their millions were quick to seize the
opportunity and they will keep up the
excitement until the breaking point is
reached Some of them may get hurt,
but they can stand it, or if they can
not it will not. matter. In the net re
sult it will be the "professionals"
who rake in the winnings aud "the
public" who supply them.

The D. L. & W. railroad company

ville's two natioual banks may be seen

Great Value of Honey.
"Honey, one of the most nutritious
«nd delicate of foods, should be eaten
more than it is," writes a cooking ex
pert. "Bought in the comb, It is bound
to be unadulterated and will keep one
free from sore throat and bronchial
troubles. I know a number of ladles
who use honey as a cosmetic. They
apply It to the skin, rub it In well,
then wash It off with hot water. The
result Is a finer complexion, a glowing
color, a young, fresh look."—Birming

All human emotions, however slight
they may be, either decrease or in
crease the circulation of the blood.
Those emotions that bring tears cause
the blood vessels around the eyes to
expand, thus flooding the lachrymal or
tear glands with blood. The tear
glands always secrete a little to keep
the eyes cool and moist and carry off
specks of dust through the nasal pas
sages, but the extra supply of blooj
increases this secretion to such ati ex
tent that it cannot go off in the usual
way, so overflow*.

TRAINED Bf CRUELTY
Animals, as a Rule, Taught Tricks
Through Torture.
KINDNESS IS NOT A FACTOR.
The Result of the Methods Employed,
Says an English Writer, Is the Tri
umph of a Brute Over a Brute by
Patient and Persistent Cruelty.
"I have an old fashioned belief that
one should never make a damning
statement unless lie is prepared to
prove it up to the hilt. And so I am
confronted at the outset with an al
most insurmountable difficulty—to the
layman who would accurately inform
himself of the methods of animal train
ing there is opposed a bulwark of con
cealment grim and silent as the great
wall of c hina." writes W. ltainton
Clarke in the Manchester Chronicle.
"The glib assurance that 'lt is all
done by kindness' lias become a by
word. No true lover of an auimal be
lieves it, nor could any reasoning crea
ture, lacking that particular affection,
if he will carefully examine such facts
as are obvious.
"Granted there are animals of ex
treme intelligence and ductabillty.
Granted there are men and women of
extraordinary influence over birds and
beasts. The best .these twain can
achieve in combination does not pro
duce an effective stage show, nor can
one-hundredth part of the 'entertain
ment' provided by the trainer be
ascribed to bis abnormal ability or to
the especially acute Intelligence of bis
pupil. It is more probably the tri
umph of a brute over a brute by pa
tient and persistent cruelty.
"The public judges by what it sees
on the stage and remarks in admira
tion and approval that there was 'no
sign of a whip.' An animal exhibitor
who was avowedly cruel would be
pretty low down in the ranks of show
men. 1 own a particularly ferocious ■
looking bulldog who goes crazy with
delight at the sight of a whip. It has
been his pet toy for years and means
the beginning of a romp On the other
hand, a movement of the trainer's tin
ger almost Imperceptible to the audi
deuce may suggest to the powerful
imagination of the animal fiendish tor
ture. It may recall the hot irons, the
agonizing tltillatioti of a nerve.
"Such appeals to the memory are. in
truth, the stock in trade of the animal
trainer. What the wretched creature
has gone through during months of
daily preparation can never be known,
for the work is carried out in secrecy
and seclusion. There is rarely a second
per n present, and the brute.cannot
spe That is the most hideous factor
of i.. • case.
"Tlicr • is no concealment of the fact
that the training is apt to be hard and
painful, and a blow Is not uncommon
from the most humane and patient
trainer, angered,, it may be, by stupidi
ty and insubordination. If it is so
with the boy, what must It be with
the brute?
"There is 110 possession so hideous
as that of the triumph, even tnomen
tarily, of cruelty. Touch a chilli, a
horse or a dog with a whip and there
is a hideous sense of satisfaction, even
when the cause is righteous. The joy
of inflicting pain Is possible to the best
of us mid grows by what it feeds on.
"Imagine the situation between a
coarse vulgarian and a helpless brute
and you get the process of animal
training.
"1 have never MIOWU a disinterested
member of the circus community pre
tend that the education of any auimal
was pleasant to the animal, and 1 have
known Uicm to speak with horror of
the methods of some trainers.
"It is not very long since an athlete
snatched the whip from a well known
dog trainer ou the stage of a Loudon
variety theater and soundly thrashed
hint auiid the plaudits of the company.
"Another distinguished professor Is
blacklisted by one of the largest syn
dicates for undisguised cruelty (off the
stage) to his large and various family.
Two of our best known managers ab
solutely refuse to deal with auimal
'turns' and make no concealment of
their reasons. And the editor, now de
ceased. of an important professional
paper, for years refused to attend any
place of entertainment where dogs or
birds, or indeed any dumb creature
save conventional circus horses, ap
peared.
"All these men knew what they were
about. Most of the other performers
In music hall tight keep shy of the
auimal trainers, 'l he stage hands speak
with horror of what they see.
"The mortality among performing
animals is perfectly awful. Ever so
many are hopelessly iujured In the
process of education, and ever so many
succumb to the dreadful life of nightly
performances.
"Whenever a case of cruelty by a
performer comes before the courts one
Js amazed by the Ineptitude tuid futil
ity of the evidence.
"The public is of course the main
culprit. It wants the shows, and man
agers provide them, though they must
lie conscious of the truth of all I have
written. They even assist in the un
klndness, for the stabling and menag
erie accommodations of some of out
largest establishments are insanitary
and Inadequate in the extreme.
"I finish as I begin. The cruelty of
animal training is almost impossible of
proof. Much of it should be obvious,
and so much of my indictment as is
not to he proved by the obvious Is not,
I solemnly affirm, based on a desire to
be sensational or on Idle gossip, but on
the dependable assurances of men and
women who dare not submit to public
citation."

A LAND OF MYSTIC CHARM.
Beauties of Modern Byria as Seen by a
Woman Writer.
Here is a vivid description of the
Biblical plain of Ksdrnelon, taken
from Mrs. A. lnehbold's "Under the
Syrian Sun:" "Instantly our gaze and
with it our hearts went out to the
strange beauty of the plain of Esdrae
lon. spread out just beyond the rolling ;
ranges of the Galilean hills. It was 1
like some beautiful sea with its softly |
green billows sweeping Inland In broad j
gracious curves between the honnda
ries of its northern and southern hills, i
Anil npoll this limpid, seemingly liquid
Burfuce rested big cloud shadows of
deep veiled purple. The billows were I
the cultivated stretches of the plain. ■
and the cloud shadows Indicated the
broken, tilled soil. When in reality the
shadows of clouds moved across the
billowed richness of the great meadow
—as the natives called lisdraelon the
effect was sublime beyond descrlp- j
tion."
Of Baalbek the same author says: ;
"So overpowering was the tirst impres
sion of loneliness and awe created by i
the sudden sight of the giant pillars
towering in the mystic blue light that
instinct bade one creep behind the I
nearest giant stone wall and hide—hide
from the guardians, the genii, who
seemed to be lurking in the dark
depths between the fallen pillars, to be
immovable as sentinels in the penum- i
bra of the vast colonnade. But there
description fails. The wonders of that
whole magic area through which we
wandered as under 11 spell outstrip
expression.
"The veil of the supernatural lay
lightly alike 011 the untouched surface
as on the totally burled relics, now laid
bare by the persistent burrowing" of
the searchers after truth. Ghosts of
the long ago hovered near. In the light,
which transfigures all things earthly
with au atmosphere that is supermun
dane they whis|iered strange tales of
the phantom world, which at the 1110
ment seemed vivid and real, but in the
brightness of the morrow vanished as
a dream which niemo;'.\ yearns In vain
to retain."

When the Earth Quakes.
Some idea of the stupendous power
of the subterranean forces exerted by
earthquakes is shown by the ehunges
effected by them in geography. Moun
tains have been obliterated or new ones
formed, islands have been made or de
stroyed, and whole stretches of coast
line wiped out. For instance, in Sep
tember, 17.V.1. 011 the lofty tableland
about 15(1 miles southwest of the City
of Mexico, a piece of laud four square
miles in area was suddenly raised 55(1
feet, and numerous cones appeared,
one of them, the volcano of Jorullo,
being nearly 1,700 feet high. Java in
1772 suffered iu the opposite way, for a
tract of country fifteen miles long by
six miles broad was swallowed up en
tirely, a mountain of !U)00 feet being
reduced to 5,000 feet only in the
process.

One of the curious devices of nature
for scattering seeds is seen iu the bal
loon plant of California. The fruit is
yellow anil is a little larger than an
egg. It has the appearance of an emp
ty bag. but it contains a watery sub
stance which evaporates or dries up
when tlie fruit matures, a sort of gas
taking its place. This gas is lighter
than air, and the fruit flips hack and
forth in the wind until it finally breaks
loose from its slender stem, rises into
the air to a height of from seventy-flve
to a hundred feet and sails away to
fall in some distant spot and thus ex
tend the growth of Its kind.

"Well," answered Mr. Cumrox. "it's

you haven't any respect for it."
