Some 25,000 saoks of wheat Was offered for sale, but there were no buyers present to bid on tbe grain. Today in Atbena there is also a salesday, and from in dications tbis morning there will be no bids made ou tbe grain to be offer ed for sale. For tbe apparent studied indifference ou tbe part of grain deal ers regarding these salesdays, there is evidently a reason, wbicb, if tbey felt so disposed, perhaps could be explain ed from tbe head offices at the termin al points. There is evidently an un derstanding existing between tbe big wheat sbippiug companies, and the seller does not need tbe rise of a mi oroscopio lense to see that tbe under standing is being lived up to. In dications would seem to justify the statement of a leading wheat raiser, when he said that a combine exists and wheu a market quotation is given out, tbe different companies will not bid above tbe price quoted. Tbe gen eral result of this understanding can be nothing more than only the market prioe will he paid for wheat, whether on a salesday or any other duy. You can always tell whether a man in married or single when you see him go through a screen door, says the Wellington Kan., News. If be is married bo approaches tho door cau tiously, glances around nervously, then takes off his hat and swipes it up and down tbe door two or three times. He then quietly opens the door about two inches, squeezes him self through and closes it with a quiok snap. Tbe length of time he has been married may bo determined by tbe degree of fear and nervousness indica ted in bis countenance. Tho Uniutillu Chronicle evidently tolievea iu good Are proteotiou.

Authony Comstock has doue good work iu keeping dowu real olfouses aguiust doceucy, but he is 'constantly briuging his society into disrepute by such absurdities as the scuneless raid on the Art Students' league of New York. A logioal extension of tbis sort of busiuess would be the raiding of hospitals aud medical schools aud tbe seizure of works .u physiology and anatomy whoso illustrations are just us properly "obscene" and "lowd" us ure those of the league's catalogue.

During the coming year 3,800 miles of railroad traok will be laid in the United States, tbe greatest annual mileage in many years with one excep tion.

Shall a man who has constantly and vigorously denounced divoroe be de barred by the publio sentiment from marryiug a divorced woman? This is the problem which has created a seu satioual ruction iu a Chicago Congre gational obnrob. The pastor, a wid ower with three growu children, has announced his eugagement to toe womau who for some time time past baa been bis secretary. Tbis woman secured a divoroe from ber husband last June beoause of incompatibility. The friendship between the pastor and his secretary whs noticed by members of the church, but no one seems to have thought that it would lead to a marriage. Now that tbe aunounoement is sud denly made publio, many of those who have listeued to the pastor's fre queut and emphatic denunciations of divorce are shocked that be 'should apparently coutradict himself in mar ryiug a divorced woman. Tbe fact that the woman is a daughter of oue of tbe trustees of the church and of estimable character does uot tend to lessen the objections of that portiou of the churoh membership which has imbibed to the full exteut tbe doc trines of the marriage relationship ex pounded from the pulpit It would seem that tbe pastor has preached too well against e reooguiaed evil, not realiaiug the peculiar circumstauces that might aria iu his own case. He may argue that, as there is no rule without au exception, his case may reasonably be accepted as a pro per exceptiou to the general line of coudnct which be advocates for others. At all events, he does not propose to be swerved from his present intention of marrying, even if ho has to resign his pastorate in order to prevent a split iu the chuioh. It is something to his credit that bo has affected a degree of earnestness as is now being shown, but it is (be privilege of any man to modi fly his views in subjects under discussion, and if this, preacher sees good reason to believe now that all divorces are not as open to oensure as be has heretofore contended, he can not be blamed. .

Most of the people there, be adds speak French like na tives. Czar Nicholas of Russia is obildisbly afraid of bombs. The explosion of one in his vioinity makes him ex tremely nervous. J. Pierpont Morgan is said to bate money; henoe his efforts to gather it all acd hide it away somewhere. King Alfonso of Spain frequently deolaies his intention of becoming a bull fighter. He knows that there is no danger of the. court letting him carry out such a mad design. William Waldorf Astor likes to have bis trousers turned up. He says it helps his English acoent. The Geakwar of Baroda, who thinks American girls are not pretty, has gone back to Iudia, where tbe women are kept iu zenanas on tbe principal that what you don't see won't jar you, Vioe President Fairbanks retains an old fashioned hatred of toothache. An English Earl, well known on this side of the water to three or four people says that it's easier to bean earl than an engineer.
