After many weeks of lassitude, the market for wheat experienced a start up- ward, which culminated in a boom on. 'Wednesday that drove the few remain- ing short traders to cover contracts with heavy losses, Speculation was light on Saturday when the gain in price cam- ;eleneed, but by the middle of the week sales had mounted to the highest single day's record since November 21st, just -two months previous. The strength was due to unanimity of bullish reports, especially from Argentina, Australia and India, all pointing to decreased yield and smaller stocks remaining for export. Argentine shipments last week were only 56,000 bushels, while India exported but 136,000 bushels, and even Russian outgo was light at 1.2e0.0a0 bushels, Statements of visible supply- showed a decrease of nearly a million bushels in the Ameri- can and English stocks were even more reduced.

A Untelkeeper That Preferred • to Pay an Intended. Suicide's Fare. Suicides are nevor wanted by hotel pro- prietors. Each, one costs a hotel a oon sidorable amount of money, and for months the room in which it oeourred is shunned, .Atone -of the leading hotels of Washington lately a guest anted strangely, and the proprietor made up his mind that the man was going to do something des- perate, So one night he went to the, guest's room. There was no answer to his, knooks, and the door was locked. A look over the transom showed the guest writing a letter, a pistol at one side and a bottle of poison at the. other, "Let me in or 1'11 break open the door,"called the 'iandiord, The door was opened after a little hur- ried work disposing of the things' on the table, "I don't want any suiciding here," said the landlord, entering. "What's the matter with you, anyway? "Out of money, out of work and oan't get out of town." sullenly said the guest. " Well, how much cash will you take and agree to get out of town?" asked the hotel man. "I oould ger home for. 820," was the reply. "Here's the money; now pack your grip and take the first train." 7.be man went. it was a good busi- ness transaction for the landlord.- Wash-ington Star. • A Stingy Husband. The man who begrudges his bard. working, long-suffering wife every dollar that she spends for her own pleasure or comfort, deserves to be made a reproach. Secretary Morton, of the Department of Agriculture, is reported by the St. Louis Republic as having lately expressed him- self somewhat freely about husbands of this class. Their meanness is indeed sur- prising; and so, in a different way, Is the meekness with which their wives submit to this unworthy behavior. Says Seore- tary Morton: I happened to be in a store in my town one day during the war when an old fel- low whom I will e..11 Jones Dame in with his wife to buy some goods. Jones had settled in Nebraska when it was still a territory, and by economy and thrift he had now got a farm of something like one thousand acres. Ho was considered wealthy. Shortly after he ontereci the store, Mrs. Jones took up a piece o1' calico and admired it very much. As she look- ed at it she said to her husband: "Pa, I ought to have a new dress, and I like this very much. Don't yuu tbink we could afford to buy." "Oh,I suppose so," replied the old man and he thereupon asked the clerk the price. He was told it was fifty cents a yard. 01d Mr, Tones raised his eyes at this, and asked his wife how much it would take. She replied she didn't think she could get along on less than twelve yards, and he answered: "Wily, ma, twelve yards of that goods ,at fifty cents a yard would cost six dol- lars. Now,don't you think that is pretty high?" "Yes," she replied, "I do, but I need the dress." "Well," said the old man, "times are hard, and I do wish you could get along without it just now. Couldn't you?" "Yes, I suppose I could," replied the old lady with a sigh, and the calico was dropped. A moment later Mr. Jones asked the same clerk if he had any tobaoon, and whether he had any of the good old Vir- ginia leaf which they used to keep in stock. The clerk said: "Yes, we have, but it's awful high. It's two dollars a pound, and I think It will go higher before) it gets less, We have just one paddy left." "You think it will go higher?" "Yes," said the clerk, "it's sure to go up." "Well, you might put me up flve pounds," said the old man, and a mo- ment later I saw him carrying ib out of the store. He had not six dollars to spend for his wife's oalioa dress, but he thought nothing of putting ton dollars into plug tobacco. I don't suppose old Mr. Jones realized his selfishness. Prob- ably he loved his wife, but he bad been brought up the wrong way. The Fastnot Light. The first glimpse of Great Britain that the American tourist gets on bis Euro- pean tour is that of the Fastnet light- house. It stands on a rugged and solitary rock, situated nine miles son'h of Crookhaven, at the extreme southwest corner of Ire- land and is, perhaps, more storm -beaten than any other around our coast. The rock is eighty feat in height, and the lighthouse towers another severity feet above, yet,in winter gales, the Atlantic billows literally bombard the massive structure and have even smashed in a portion of the lantern at the summit of the erection, the seas frequently sweep- ing over the rock with tremendous force. Some two or three years ago the stormy weather then prevailing prevented all communication with the rook for many weeks, so that the store of food was con- sumed, with the exceptien of some flour. At lust a schooner managedto approach sufficiently near to enable a small quan- tity of food to be dragged through the sea by the hungry men, and, fortunately the next day the sea moderated, and the stores were once more fully replenished. .Except in very calm weather the Fast- net is surrounded by a fringe of foam, and the only means of landing is by the aid of .a "jib" 68 feet in length, so. placed on the -rock that in moderate weather, its end reaches outside the siirf. When a visitor wishes to land (an unus- ual occurrence), .he is rowed in a small boat as near as the waves will permit and the lightkeepers throw out a small buoy, attached to a rope, which is secur- ed by. the man in the boat. • The jib is then swung out and the visitor, placing one foot in the loop and catching tight hold of the rope, is hoisted about forty feet vertically, and then the jib, being pivoted at its foot, swings him horizon- tally about one hundred feet on a safe landing.—London Sketch. A Woman's Bright Idea. It bas remained for a woman to, in- vent and patent glass doors fur ovens. The wonder is that the idea has not long ago been thought of by some woman who cooks. All cooking instructors lay the greatest stress on the care to be observed in opening an oven < door to watch the progress of cakes or muffins. Maria Parloa, : making sponge cake: touches the knob with the most deli- cate care and, lightness, dreading even to jar the cake within, and peeks through the smallest crack that will. afford the necessary glance.

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. SLEEPLESSNESS IS ANOTHER OF THE VANQUISIHED AILMENTS. A Wakeful Poison in the Blood—A Few Doses Relieves—A Fow Boxes Cure. Kidney disease has no surer sign than the condition of sleeplessness. Without pain of any kind, or even un- easiness the sufferer awakes, or remains awake, hour after hour every night. There is a peculiar` irritating and wake- ful poison in the blood that causes it. Sluggish kidneys have allowed this to pass into the circulation. .4. few doses of Dodd's Kidney Pills will make such a change for the better as to satisfy you that you are taking the h g ri t medicine. But sleeplessness •cannot be overcome in a day. If in the habit of waking at a pertain hour of the night—take one pill on going to bed. If you bave suffered from this form of unrest for any groat length of time itbwill. require a box or two to put the kidneys' in good shape. But Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure this condition. Dodd's Kidney Pilin ears so many dis- eases that have nevor been considered in any way related to the kidneys. By this means—because Dodd's Kidney Pills pure—we often learn, that a certain form of suffering never before suspected is a form of kidney trouble, . And sleeplessness is one of the troubles that is settled by Dodd's Kidney Pills every time. It is no experiment to use a boa of Dodd's Kidney Pills for sleeplessness. In one hundred thousand houses in Canada Dodd's Kidney Pills have a sure place. One sufferer cured has told a dozen and so the good news bas spread from house to house and from Province to Province.

Artificial Coal, The Department of Trade and Com- merce has received from Mr. C. E. Son - tum, Government agent at Christiania, Norway, samples of the product of a new industry recently started there. It is that of making artificial coal from peat. The process is a secret one, but is under- stood to be a system of pressing peat be- tween hot iron plates, which practically compresses it into a sort of soft coal. It it quite light, and looks like coke, and it is claimed that it can he produced at half the cost of ordinary coal. "Ibsen at Mine." Few contemporary writers have been more widely read in America or ex- cited more controversy than Ibsen. To all who are interested in the famous dramatist the article by Mr. Edgar 0. Achorn in the February number of the New England Magazine upon "Ibsen at Home" will have peculiar interest It its a charming picture of Ins n's environ- ment at Christiania, illustrated by a fine series of pietures never before published, and a very pleasant impression is cer- tainly made by it all of the poet's life and home.

When it was finished he laid it .aside and a year afterward entirely rewrote it. In 1886 he again took it up and revised it, and during the nine years between that time and his death in November last, he re- wrote it eight times. Il:is last revision pleased him and he decided to print it. But death came too suddenly, and the story was found, unpublished, among his ef- fects Mrs. Field, concluding to have the story appear, gave it to the editor of Tho Ladies' Home .rournal, in which magaz- ine all of Mr. Field's work, outside of: his newspaper articles, was presented to the. public. The story will be printed in the next issue of the Journal strikingly illus- trated by Mr. Howard Pyle. EXCELLENT.

I have been a continual sufferee from Nervous Debility, Indigestion, Dyspep- sia and general physical weakness for a number of years, and bad been treated by numerous doctors and specialists without avail.. Recently while visiting in Toron- to I was induced by a friend who had been cured of similar complaints by its use, to try South American Nervine. Tonic, which I did with the most,aston- ishing results. The very first dose seemed to "hit the right spot," ' and five betties completely oureclene, and best of all I have stayed 'cored.
