The imports of Manitoba wheat from
Buffalo to which point considerable quan-
tities were brought down from Port
Arthur in bond before the close of lake
navigation, cause considerable comment
among the trade here. It is stated that
action may be taken on the part of Can-
adian holders of Manitoba wheat to en-
force the payment of 15c. per bushel duty
on this wheat coming from. Buffalo.
The wheat market ,closed strong on
Saturday night in New York, and shoe
then the tone has been irregular, al-
though prices have not changed much
either way. Every rumor from abroad
caused some slight fluctuation, and as
the Berlin news has been especially un-
certain, the prices here bobbed up and
down in sympathy. But nearly every
day the previous day's closing price was
regained before business ended. Tho -
man's estimates were eiroiiiated on Wed-
nesday, and caused some shifting. He
puts the amount used as fodder at less.
than fifty million bushels, which. is be-
low the general belief. Previous predic-
tions were between seventy -live and one
hundred million bushels, end as these
figures were not intended to include the
. considerable amount of wheat used every
year in. this way, the estimate of less
than fifty million bushels is supposed too
low. Reports of visible supply did not
show the expected clecrease of over a mil-
lion for the week, which disappointed the
majority of traders, who were counting
on still higher prices.

.A Young Lady of Observation Says
There. is Much Character in Them.
"I don't know whether there is any
such science as aurology," said a young
lady of observation, "but I find it a very
safe and useful thing to take note of niy
friends' ears. 1 haven't yet got so far in
my studies as to formulate a fixed set of
rules for the reading of character by the
size, shape and .convolutions of those
funny little head handles of ours ; in feet
my studieshave been directed to one
point—the top or apex of tho oar, There's
a whole world of tell-tale indications
there, and it would be a good thing if
young girls wore to form the habit of
casting a glance at that part of the an-
atomy of their callers and admirers, and
make a mental note for their own guid-
ane . by what they see there,
"If the top of the eur lies close to the
head and the ridge is straight or gently
rounded, the young man that owns that
kind of an ear may be counted as being
eminently proper and as harmless as a
lamb. Bat if thetop starts away from
the head at a well-defined angle and runs
up to a point before turning down to be-
come the back ridge of the ear—well, that
young man had better be kept at a good,.
safe distance. That's the faun ear, the
satyr ear, and when those wise old Greeks
and Romans gave to the capering com-
panions of the nymphs of the woods goat
legs and goat ears, they knew what they
were about. Men haven't changed one
whit, either, and that point to the ear is
just as full of character and warning to-
day as it was when Bacchus was doing
bu-ii ess at the old sign of "The Rollick-
ing Rams."

many years Cod Liver Oil was held in
disfavor on account of its unpleasant
taste, and inferior quality of the prepara-
tions. Miller's Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil revived its use heoause it is pleasant
to take and gives immediate results in
creating new blood, and thus giving suf-
ferers the strength to overcome the dire
Enemy. Millers Emulsion is the great

Many persons to whom Cod Liver 011
would be of the very greatest value refuse
to take it under the impressionthat the taste
is so objectionable as to
counteract any benefit it
might' otherwise be to
them. To such we desire
toprove that this is a de-
cided error, as in our pre-
paration, "Maltine with
Cod Liver Oil," not only is
the objectionable taste en-
tirely removed, but the
preparation is realty pals-
table --relished alike by
old and young. It is the
ideal "builder," and will
restore health and color
where the system is "run down." To any
one detiring to retake trial of the preparation
we will send Sample free. Address Postal
