The southwestern markets were sending out bullish advices and the bull movement in wheat gave some upward impetus to corn. The crowd was fully as bulllsh as in wheat, though the market was not as broad.’ Selling was restricted, partly on the fear of a bullish government report.

Skippers Asked to D Their C and Anchors. Five times last year, relates the New York Evening Post, the ocean cables of a single company were fouled by ships’ an- chors and severed. One would think that a rope not more than two and one-half inches in diameter where it is thickest, and in most places measuring less than an inch, stretched along the bottom of the sea, would be lost for the sges. Who would sall forth at random to fish for it? And yet it seems that it is found by some ehip’s anchor often emough to cause con- siderable expense and trouble. Just how frequently this occurs with the French and English companies is not known by the New York representatives, but five breaks from this cause were repaired by the Com- mercial Cable company last year. When such an accident occurs it is die- covered, of course, without other notice than the sudden closing of communication. Europe is cut off on that line, and the operator knows that somewhere on a hill or deep valley of the sea the electric artery ls severed, A very short time ts required after this to locate the break. And so accurately can this be done that a pin stuck in the office chart would, were it thrust in the sea, pass between the dls- connected ends. The cable is llke & tube that holde so much wi If the tube were closed somewhere along its length, the exact location of the plug could be found by measuring the water required to reach it. Wi the cable ls broken com- munication beyond is, of course, closed, but the broken end connects with the water and the earth and forms a short eircuit. By mesasuring the electricity required to fil] this the location of the break is fixed. Then the company's ship is sent out to make repairs. Such patchiog costs all the way from $200 to $2,000. Sometimes 1t is but an easy job of splicing, and again & bundred fathoms of cable may bave been torn l'l! ‘When a captain finds his anchor lmll usually cuts the rope or chain, Iuv' ing It, with the anchor, in the lfll on Eis way, reporting later to the companv. giving the longitude and latitude of his loss and recelving a proper indemnity. Most of such payments.last year were made to fshing smacks off the shoals of New- foundland, but there was one case of a deep-sen loss. A vessel was caught In a storm and ecrippled, and the cap dropped anchor in midocean. It fell upon a hillside, and, finding the cable, grapplea under it and slid down to a depth of 1,600 fathoms. Here was a choice for the taln. He could cut himeelf adrift or risk breaking the cable on the chance that it might bold him through the storm, But this chance was so slight, the breaking of the cable, which was only ighths of an inch at that depth, so certain, that he cast off, and, leaving his anchor and 1,600 fathoms of rope where they were, fled before the tempest with bare poles. He came safely to port, however, and, on ap- plication to the cable company, recelved $1,200 for his chain and anchor. The Commercial Cable company Is glad to encourage this consideration on the part of sea captains, and so far as it knows, there has been no attempt to take fraudu- lent advantage of it. The men of the ses are more apt to be impetuous and high- handed than dishonest, and while they will not report flctitious losses, there is frequent evidence that they release their fouled an- chors by cutting the cable that holds them. e There is but one o on record whers this offenee was brought hotie and proved On December 29, 1898, the schooner Wil- lam H. Balley was fouled off Sandy Hook and the cable cut. The dead was proved, and after four years of IMtigation an award of $2,600 has just been granted the cable company. HOW MOR A Far Western Trs Western Ver ¥ Described in ular. In 1897 there were flush times in the Slocan, relates the New Denver (B. C.) Claim. The overflow of the Rossland boom swished through the silver camps and coated them with gold. ‘The wash struck Sandon the hardest and for months the town had its Cairo-like streets literally paved with dollars and playing eards. San- don s bullt in a gulch between high moun- talns over which the sun occasionally peeps at the burg. In those days it was a hot locality. All night long the planos were thumped “below the dead line,” whije above it the booze factories had no keys, and the clinking of es kept time to the pattle of chips and the cries of “That's good'" “I'm pat!” “Put in with you!" etc. These were the days when it often cost hwany « plunk to look at your hole card, and chub- bers were under the table. Gamblers were thicker than coons at a caké walk and a flash of sualight made the lower end of the camp look like a'railroad switeh yard with all danger signals turned on. The town never closed up; it was one long carnival of wine, women and cards. When one shift went flewey another took its place, and Canada’s Monte Carlo never blinked an eye About this time Morris Butterman hafled the camp. Morris had no yellow in him and packed more than sixty years on his broad back. He had been a gambler for nearly halt a century. He had faced the tigers in Montana, shot craps th New Or leans, dealt stud on the old Mississippi and peeped from behind fours in many a draw game. So when he hit the camp he was not afrald of anything in sight. He dealt faro in the Bucket of Blood saloon and kept his shirt bosom ever white. For a long time his meal ticket had figures on it, and then the splits came. The crash in silver, anil then the strike, soon made Sandon look 1lke & dirty deuce In a new deck, and the old gambler went up the hill to cook for a while, but he did not sult, and wandered back to town again, broke, dut sad, silent and proud. Several of the boys noticed that he did not eat regularly and proffered him ald, but he shook his head and stood pat. One day, about b o'clock in the after- '| preventive noon, he passed through the Bucket of Blood to the stairway at the rear om tho way to his room. As he mounted the steps he turned and took a long look at the bar and Handsome Jack. Late the next after- noon Jack went upstairs to the old man's room and found him dead. He had put on his best clothes, got under the blankets, took a swallow of polson and cashed in. And thus Morris quit the game—a philos- opher. 014, broke and nothing behind the deal, he preferred to pass up rather than burden his friends. Just a dash of tragedy in the fever of mining-camp life. UNFAILING OURE FOR SMALLPOX. Catholic Sisters in Philadelphia in Posnession of I The sisters in charge of St. Joseph's Fe- male Orphan asylum, reports the Philadel- phia North American, are in receipt of many letters dally from persons who seek information concerning the preparation which is belleved by the slsters to be a ainst smallpox and all other contagious diseases. A few physiclans are among the inquirers, a small proportion of these having decided to try the medicine. “These drugs have been in use by us for sixty years,” sald one of the sisters. “In all that time we have not had one case of smallpox in our Institution. The prescrip- tlon was obtained by Mother Gongaza more than sixty years ago from a minister in Germantown. He got it from a doctor In Parls, who used it with great success dur- ing an epldemic of smalipox there. ““The prescription is one grain solld ex- tract digitalls, one grain sulphate of zinc, one-half teaspoontul of sugar, four ounces of water. Dissolve the digitalis and the zinc separately, then compound the pre- acription “It {8 of the utmost importance that the solid extract of digitalis be used. Some druggiets say there {s no such thing, and use the liquid preparation. This is value less. It does not produce the same results. “The dose s one teaspoonful every hour for twelve coneecutive hours for an adult. For an infant, ten drops for the same length of time, and for children under 10 years one-halt teaspoonful hourly for twelve hours. “We usually repeat this treatment once a month when smalipox is epidemic. It is the best medicine, we think, in cases of smallpox. The face may-be bathed with it, thus preventing scars. I know of one case in which a man sent for the medicine, his wife had smallpox. She took it all night, the eruption having disappeared in the morning. “The digitalls kills the germs of con- taglous Ciseaso that may be in the system. The zinc purifies the blood. Some doctors object to the digitalis because it acts on the heart. Of course, the preparation must be taken with care, as the medicines are powertul, “Some people complain that them sick. a it makes This is because thelr systems not in good condition.
