SELLING BY SIGNAL.

iia CATTLE’ ARE DEALT IN AT THE CHICAGO STOCKYARDS.

Reig In Their Saddies, With the Lot @eiween Them, Seller and Buyer Con-

‘eledio a Transaction by Raising Their Wipe Over Their Heads,

* tes Chicago stockyards are unique «meung the great marts of the world. In exe cver place, say those who are most taeniliar with its daily routine, is s0 ange an aggregate of business transact-

ai in the langage of gestures and with- eamt othe “‘scratch of a pen’’ asin the mater pens of the stockyards. A whip te Qechd high in air, across a sea of clat- tihetitgg orms the signal is answered by (asmamentary uplifting of a band, and 2% ““emach"’ of catle worth thousands of -icSere is sold.

‘Iacrs is something splendidly pic- thateaque and even spectacular in these wordless transactions. They ignore tho srtificjalities of the complex system up- an which modern business relationships wee almost universally maintained. Troxte im the cattle pens gets boldly theck to:primitive simplicity. It is done ma beowor, not on paper. And the undis- qeateli transfer of millions of dollars’ wwarth of the property here dealt in guewes that a bargain sealed with the emare of the whip and an assenting ges- gare of the hand is quite as safe and sa- rm as if the whole transaction were eocorded ‘‘in black and white.’’

The trader in the wheat pit is armed with his tally card, upon which he yasmces to note the names of those with wiam be deals and the amount, nature amd price of the commodities bought ewmieold. The broker upon the floor of ies Stock Exchange places equal reli- “ames pom the quickly penciled memo- omaacnade at the moment when the <ietmile of each transaction were upon thw Mps of those concerned in its fulfill- omant; but the buyer and seller of the waexis carry whips, not pencils, and eteeis deals are recorded in memory in- eseead of written upon trading cards. As «eal ry to picture the old knights mak- amg faborious written memoranda of *ieeir challenges as to think of the rough ae ready traders of the cattle yards mamsing in their saddles to jot down cgem paper their purchases and sales. fechn a procedure would bid defiance to tae very nature of things and do vio- ieee to the magnificent unconvention- slity of every environment.

‘Is there never any trouble in this taind of dealing?’’ a leading commission auam was asked.

“Tf you mean do the men go back on tpeilr bargains made by whip and band, eam answer, never,’’ was the trader’s aneemr as he brought his trim black jeree to a halt in the cattle alley and leamel forward in his saddle. ‘there ime’G another place in America, or the whale world, for that matter, where so om@h business is done on the basis of pecsonal integrity, without a written word to show for the transactions, as sight here,’’ he continued, ‘‘and the amatbod beats all the bonds on earth. Thee day's business in these pens will acwa about $1,500,000. And how is it dame? Little talk, a considerable wav- sug ot whips and bands and no exchange ef written documents between buyers amé@ sellers.

_ “Bere isa bunch of cattle that will ‘figure np about $10,000. Over there in @he other alley is a buyer who this ewarning offered me a price of $5.10 for Shean. I thought that I could do better, ‘bat the market has been a little off, and

Tt Save decided to let the bunch go at "hie offer. Up to the present moment «we fave exchanged about adozen words cm this subject. Now, if be is willing to “yay the price which he named in the werning I'll show you how a $10,000 ‘“ourch of fat steers is sold without exarti.af mouth ora scratch of writing

&-he commission man then straighten-

| EXTREME NERVOUSNESS.

The usual Outcome of Too Little Blood —Sufferers Often Brought to the Verge of Insanity.

From the Smith’s Fall News.

Many cases have been reported of how invalids who have enffered for years, and whose cases bave been giyen up by the attending physician, have leen restored to health aod vigor through the uow world-famed medicine, Dr, Williams’ Pink Pilla, bnttwe doubt if there is one more startling or convincing than that of Miss Ehzabeth Minshull, who resides with her brother, Mr. Thos. Minsbull, of this town, an em loyee in Frost & Wood’s Agricultural Works. The News heard of this remarkable case, and merting Mr. Minshull, asked him if the so y was correct. He replied—“‘All I know is that my sister had been given up : 6 in- curable by two physicians. She is now well enough to do any kind of housework.

this change has, itis my hovest convie- tion, been brought about by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills”. Mr. Min- shull then related the following story to the News—“My sister is twenty years of age. She came to Canada from England about ten years ago, and resided with a Baptist Minster, Rev. Mr. Cody, at Sorel, YQue. In April, ot 1896, he took i}] and gradually grew worse. She was under a local physician’s care for five months. The dector said that she was suffering froma complication of nervous diseases, aud that he could do little for her. The minister with wnom she lived then wrote me of my sister’s state of health, and I had her come to Swmith’s Falls, in the hope that a change and rest would do her good. When she. arrived there she was iD @ very weak siate, and a local phy- sician was called in to se her. He attended her for some time, but with poor results, and finally acknowledged that the case was one which be could do very little for. My sister had by this time become a pitiable object; the slight-- est noise would disturb her, and the slightest exertion would alraost make her insane. It required someone to be with her at all times, and often aftér a fit of extreme nervousness she would become unconscious and remain in that state for hours. When I went home I had to take my boots off atthe dooreiep so as not to disturb Ler. When the doctor told me he could do nothing tor ber, I consult- ed with my wife, who bad great faith in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills’ as she knew of several cases where they had wonderful cures. and I concluded it would do no barm to try them anyway, aod mentiened the fact tothe doctor. Tie doctor did not oppose their use, but said he thought they might do her good, as they were cer- tainly @ good medicine. In September of last year she begaa to use the pills, and betore two boxes bad been used, she be- gan to show signe of improvement. She has continued their use sinée, and is to- dav a living testimony of the curative power of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.”

It is now more than 6 months since I used the Pills, and have not been sick a day sioce I stopped usingthem.

INSOMNIA CURED.

Mr.Wm Thomas, a teacher of voca) music, Well known throughout Eastern Ontario, says—“I was greatly troubled with insomn @, and forover two years [

My digestion was impaired, my complexion was sallow, appetite very fickle, and my whole condition on of the most unenviable. I bad tr.ed many remed.es without avail, aod fivally as a result of reading so much about them [ decided to try Dr. Willsames’

A great deal of fraud is said to be perpetrated by filling the bottles of some standard liquor with an inferior grade and palming it off as the original bottling.

Too little blood! That is what makes men and women look pale, sallow and languid. That is what makes them drag along, always tired, never hungry, unable to digest their food, breathless and palpitating at the heart after slight exertion, so that it is a trouble to go up stairs. They are “Anzemic,” doctors tell them ; and that is Greek for hav- ing “too little blood.” Are you like that P Are your gums pale instead of being scarlet ?

New Orleans Negro’s Ingenuity.

While young men of intelligence, 3d- ucation and talent are sometimes moral and financial failures, wondering al- ways why they don’t ‘‘succeed”’ in life, there are all around them innumerable examples of the pluck and persistency that make success, greater or less, ae- cording to the original advantage of the one employing them. One such instance is furnished by a negro who recently had his left leg amputated near the an- kle, prived of his only living. But he did not sit down and wonder what to do. He made himself a banjo im the form of aster, and then he made a set of doll furniture, using cigar box material for the bedroom set and gilding it and inaking @ very presentable looking set.
