IVlient Held at TO Cents. Pendleton, Aug. 8. The price of wheat has reached 70 cents, as aeaini-t GC cents, the season's opening bid. The quotation of 70 cents is IS cents a bush el higher than the opening bid of last season. The market is exceptionally strong and there is every indication that prices will go higher. The aJvance took place today and is the quotation of the Pendleton Flour ing mills. It was paid for the bluestem variety while red chaff and club bring 1!7 cents per bushel. The export buyers re paying 57 cents for bluestem and (55 for red chaff. The export buyers are not overly anxious to purchase and the farmers are not anxious to sell. Never in the history of this country have the buyers and the farmers been eo wide apart in the harvest season as at present. This state of affairs is due to the preeistent holding on by the farm are for higher prices. One of the most peculiar conditions in the wheat situa tion this season is that no large con tracts have been made. Last year at this time manv large contracts had been made and in fact nearly all the wheat of the surrounding country had been bought up. Growth of Our Railroads.

Several Form- of role firM Prepared mud Shipped by the Dealer of France In.terttt.tinn Par ticulars, i Fattening geere for the sole purpose of enJarping their livers is something of an industry in Frawe, where the novel occupation is. carried on in order that choice material may be obtained for that distinctively p'rench morsel, pates de foie gras. French packers have recently been considerably aroused because the.charge was made against them that they.Mibstitute beef suet and pork for what are termed "diseas-ed g-oose livers." This they de nounce as not only ludicrously improb able but wholly without foundation, says a London paper. In the first place, they contend that a fatted g-oose liver is no more diseased than the meat of an overfed hog. Both are abnormal, and in that sense only might be regarded as a product of un sanitary conditions. When a goose is being prepared for foie gras it is usual ly confined for a time at least by a tether fastened to a stake, beside which it waits with a healthy appet-ite for its frequently supplied portion of American corn meal, which is the food chiefly relied upon for fattening. The gooee is not encouraged to take too much exercise, any more than any other fattening animal, lie is not feci for his health, but to incline him to take on fai. The result of this is to greatly enlarge the liver, which is re garded as. the most valuable part of the carcass. Foie gras d'oie, the fat goose liver, is prepared for use and export in several forms, each of which is calculated to meet the whims of fastidious people. One form is the foie gras naturel, an other is pates de foie gras, while still another is pruee de foie gras. The foie gras naturel is simply the cooked liver served without any form r.-f seasoning except the fat or oil of the liver itself. The pate de foie gras of commerce consist of the cooked liver packed in' tin boxes of standard size which the liver is roughly cut to fit. The space not occupied by the liver is filled with the trimmings of the liver or pork fine ly hashed and pressed in. Over this is poured the melted fat, sometimes of the liver and sometimes of the beef suet. The pieces of liver chipped -off in this process- of fitting the cooked liver to the box are iwd with other hashed meats and flavoring matters like truf fles in preparing what is known in com merce as puree de foie gras. The practice of using suet instead of the natural fat of the goose liver, as a support r matrix by which the inter stices between 1 he liver and the box are filled, is not so wholly reprehensible as might at first appear, since it has cer tain good reasons, or nt least excuses. Tn the first place, the suet and the somewhat firmer meat packed about the liver prevents the hitler from tve ing broken up by sliding about in the box, asr it is likely to do n long jour neys when only the thin oil of the liver is used. Another fact, which shippers have learned by' costly experience, is that the pure fat of th goose is much more likely than beef suet to become rancid when used ns the sole pack of the foie. It is also claimed that the strong, greenish fat of the goose is sometimes repulsive to persons of weak stomach, and that Americans, whoarc especially opposed to what they term "mevsy dishes" are unreasonably opposed to pates made with tiu1 pure goose fat. The modifications described arc pre pared simply to r?concii? the. pervert ed American taste to the foreign dainty. Though the primal purpose of the change of material was no doubt to reduce the cost of production, the remit i said not only to be a redaction in price to the cor.niner, hut t? irive him an opportunity to select the f"i i:i of this delicacy he may prefer. Some people greatly prefer the sorls which hare the foie natural with the support ing pate made of other hashed meats and the more whniesoms appearing and less highly flavored suet. A Terwlble Moment. Prof. Oscar Hrowning, writing of "Tbe Royal Family of England" telhi this anecdote of Queen Victoria: One can imagine a privy council at which the n?w minister had to he en polled. The admitted mmliers stood round the room; the n vices knelt in the center. The queen looked wistful ly at tho who were technically her servants, but who were really her mas ters, wondering what her relations with them would be, and whether they were fit to bear the burden in trusted to them. Some who accept of fice are perhaps surprised at the de tails of the ceremony. One whot? du ties necessitated that he should be for some time absolutely alone with the queen, in a small room without a sin gle attendant, wondered what she would say to him and he neply to hr. The difficulty wa solved by his say ing nothing, and the queen only . re marking, when she bad to sign hiacom mistion: "What a tremendous long way they have put tbe ink off!" Century. KING EDWARD'S HEIGHT. From This Extract It May Fie Drawn That H1a Majesty la About Five-Foot-Six. Why people should make bets on matter about, which they have no information, and then ask me to de cide them without ascertaining whether I know any more than they do, is one of the mysteries of edi torial life, says a writer in London Truth. Here is the latest example cf this singular practice: 'Sir: I should esteem it a favor if you will kindly answer in your Truth columns or privately, what the height of King Kdward VII. is, as two papers have already been written to. and they decidedly disagree, one stat ing five feet five and one-half inches, and the other five feet four inches, and I shall, therefore, take your measurement as authentic, etc." One might have supposed that his previous experience would have shaken this gentleman's confidence in editorial infallibility. Why did he not write to the king's tailor? I have never had occasion to take his majesty's measure. But if my guess is to decide the knotty point, I guess five feet seven inches. No doubt plenty of people will be ready to correct this off hand; but I do not believe I can be more than half an inch out either way. Certainly both the figures given above are un der the mark. HISTORY ON MAN'S SKIN. A Piece of Arttotlc Tarftooln II veald by an Arret of the F&rta Police. , A remarkable life story is reported from Lyons. In consequence of a com plaint lodged by a local butcher, a young man, of weak and miserable ap pearance, was arrested for theft. He protested that he was innocent of the charge, and that he had never before been in the hands of the police, says a Paris report to the Chicago Inter Ocean. ."To prove the truth of my statement," he continued, baring his breast, "look at this, and see whether it would not be easy to establish my identity." The young fellow having stripped to the waist, it was found that his body was entirely tattooed with historical scenes, which included the murder of IHic de G uise and the death of Pres ment Carnot. The man's life story was as remark able as the rest. Son of the wife of a superior officer in the French army, and born out of wedlock at Marseilles, he was placed by his mother with a woman in that town, who received GO francs a month for some years for his keep. Afterward he served on several coasting vessels as cook's boy, where he met a former student of the l?eaux Arts school, who was also in difficul ties, and who tattooed his body in a most artistic manner. THEY TOOK NO SOUP. In the Knrly of tha Republic It W ii Food for Inralida Onlr. Serving dinner in courses ia com paratively a modern fashion, first in troduced in diplomatic circles in Washington, D. C, and imitated from P'rance. L'p to the date of 1'resident Polk's administration the course din ner among Americans had made no further progress than that of serv ing fish and soup separately. Soup was considered such a foreign frip pery that a note written by Oen. Winfiehl Scott, in which he explained that he was "just sitting down to a hasty plate of soup," covered him with such ridicule as to materially contribute to his defeat as a candi date for the presidency, sajs Lippin cott's. Soup in the early days of the republic was considered as food for invalids or poor, people only; later, when the social splendors of the court of Empress Eugenie attracted rich Americans in flocks to l'aris, French table manners and custom pushed the old English dinner fash ions to the wall. It is doubtful, how ever, if soup ever found a place on the dinner table of the wealthy Maryland or Virginia planter, unless green turtle, which was really a stew, might be so called. LUNACY ON THE INCREASE. A Swedlah Profeaaor Saya That Eda aated Women Art tha Chief Victim. Hermann Lundborg, of the great Swedish lunatic aaylum at Upsala, says that lunacy is increasing among Swedish women and moe especially among the educated classes. In the lower classes insanity is brought on chiefly by the cares of life or intem perance, but in the educated women the main cause, he contends, is their education. I)r. Lundborg emphatically asserts that the forced training to which this class of women submit themselves is most hurtful. "It is monstrous," he saj-s, "to sub ject women to this competition, and if the competition does not cease el fecta upon future generations will be disastrous." iiiiama Afegelable PreparationFor As -similating the Food tindRegula ling the Stomachs and Bowels of Promotes DigeslionXheerfur fiessandRest.Contains neither Opium,Morphine norIiieral.
