Market Letter.
Kansas City Slock Yards , Nov.
20. 100(5. ( Cattle prices have been
' .lmnge < l n little in Pie IMK ( week ,
fed steers selling a shade lower
today , bids in some cases U ) to If )
cents below the close of last week.
Cows sold weak last Thursday and
Friday , but are steady today ,
while stackers and feeders have
sold linn all the time , including
today , prices on them 10 to 15 els.
above a week ago. The run today
is 1-1,000 head , total last week
50,000 head , including 0,000
calves. The main cause of the
decline on beef steers today is an
excessive supply of short fed
cattle ut Chicago , where t h e
market is quoted 10 to iiO lower-
on them- These cattle have bean
selling pretty good here , averag
ing about $1 00 per hundred
weight higher than a year ago at
this time , demand good and the
supply smaller than a year ago.
Now Mexico and the Panhandle
country still have a good many
cattle to market and supplies ol
range cattle will be liberal till
well into December. Top beel
steers last week sold at SO.50 , besl
price today $5.90 , short fed ateim
$ 1.50 to S5.-10 , grass steers $ ; $ . ( ' > (
to $5 , heifers $15 to $5.25 , cowf
$2.00 to $1.25 , canners $2 to $2.00
bulls $2.25 to $ ; { .S5 , stackers $2.7. '
to $1.50 , feeders $15. 5 , to1.75. .
Packers at last seen an oppor
tunity to break the hog market
and a big decline has been ii
progress since Friday amountinj
to 20c per hundred including i
loss of 7 to 10 cents today. Kum
have not been extra heavy here
9,000 today. Bulk of sales hen
Saturday was $0.10 to $0.17
against 0 to $0.20 at Chicago tin
same day. Top today is $0.12 }
bulk of sales to $0 to $0.10. Tin
market will likely recoup some o
the recent loss unless receipts become
como much heavier than the ;
have been , which is not expected
Sheep and lambs are scarce
prices advanced 10 to 15 cent
last week , steady today on th
moderate supply of 1,500. Prim
fed lambs are worth $7.15 to $7.40
fair to good $0.50 to $8 , yearling
$5.50 to $0.25 , wethers $5 to $5.0i
ewes $1.50 to $5.25.
DOWN ON THE RIO GRANDE
Contractor Tolls of an Exciting Ex

dowi' the channel , a good deal of
it , and that it would be well to get
across while we were sure that
we uould.
"Wo were stnrting across over
the dry sands and 1 wns thinking
what nn easy wny it wns of ford

two lend mules were llounderiii-.1
in a quicksand nnd the whole out

got the two loaders clear of the
harness and the other two mules
drew them out , one at n time. Wo
hitched them up again and by mak
ing a long circuit got pnst the
quicksnnd nnd to the other bank.
"By that time it was ten o'clock
nnd the moon had risen. The
mules had just begun to climb the
bank when we henrd a roaring
noise up the channel. It came
from a wall of water that
stretched from bank to bank and
was traveling toward us fast. Jt
looked in I ho moonlight to be four
feet high , and there wns high wn

lidn't need to holler to the mules.
They hoard what wns coming and
clawed up the bank like cats.

"I had learned one lesson , nnd

Sixty-Ton Steel Rope.
The biggest rope over used for
hnulngo purposes has juat been
made for a district subway in
Glasgow. It is seven ,
lj { inches in circumference , and
weighs nearly GO tons. II has been
made in one unjoinled and nn
spliced length of patent crucible
steel. When in place il will fern
a complete circle around Glnsgow
crossing the Clyde in its course
nnd will run at a speed of 15 miles
an hour.
Size of Circus Rings.
Circus rings are always uniforu
in size , as circus horses are trainee
to perform in a standard ring -V.
eet in diameter. In a larger or :
smaller ring their pace become !
uneven , irregular and unreliable
and the riders in turning somer
saults are liable to miscalcnlat *
the curve and miss their footing

REQUESTED RECIPES.
Good Gralmm Twlsta , Nice Graham
Wafers and Crackers nnd Some '
Bran Biscuits. ,
Graham twists are made of thrco
or four parts of graham flour to one
part sweet cream. Whole wheat Hour
may bo substituted. Sift the Kra'j iu
Hour , and , If very coarse , add liilf
white Hour ; have Hour cold and in ,
a basin ; have cream cold and , drop-1
ping Into the Hour stir briskly with ,
a fork , allowing no wet pools to form. |
This should make a very stiff dough
which should not stick to the board
while being kneaded one-half hour , or
until a piece will give a snapping
sound when pulled off. Roll thin ns
piecrust and cut Into strips one-half
to three-quarters of an Inch wide ;
twist with hands and lay In baking
pan ; the oven photild not be too hot.
When done they are crisp , and the
Btareh Is dextrlnUcd ( partially di
gested ) , as In zwolbach.
Urnhum Crackers Seven eupfuls of
graham Hour , one cuplul of thick
sweet cream ( or butter ) , one pint of
sweet milk , two teaMpoonluls of link
ing powder ; sieve and rub the bak
ing powder Into the Hour ; add Oif ;
cream ( or buiter , whldi shouH bo
rubbed Into the Hour well ) , a ilitle
salt , then the milk ; mix wnll , and roll
as thin as soda crackers ; cut in any
shape ; bake quickly ; then leave about
the stove for a few hours to dry thor
oughly.
Hran IJIsciills One quart of 'iillk
or walor ; throe teaspooufuls of Irit-
tcr ( or lard ) three tablespoonfuls
sugar ; two tablespoonfuls uaUer'B
yeast ( any live yeast will do ) ; pinch
of salt , and Hour , wheat and graham

of batter cake dough ; add the rest
of the Ingredients and as much gra
ham Hour as can bo stirred In with
a spoon. Set away until morning.
In the morning , grease a pan , 'loin
the hands and take a lump of dough
the size of a large egg , roll lightly
between the palms ; put Into the pan
and let them rise " 0 minutes , and

white Hour ; one pint of graham Hour.

this mixture into the white and gra
ham flour mixed ; wet it with col'1
water Into a very stiff dough ; knead
well , and roll out very thin ; cut In
squares or any shape desired and
bake quickly. The Commoner.
MISCELLANEOUS.
White paint , when dirty , should bo
washed In mill ; . Colored paints may
also bo treated In this way.
Lime sprinkled on the shelves will
keep pickles and jams in the store
room from uccoming moldy. The lime
must be renewed occasionally , as it
loses its strength.
When tablecloths are beginning to
got shabby In the middle or at ttie
folds a few inches cut at one end and
one side will completely alter the
place of all folds and will give the
cloth a new lease of Mfe.
LJolllng-hot liquid may bo safely
poured Into a glass jar or tumbler L.y
Hrst putting u silver unoon In the dish.
Ho careful , however , that a draught of
cold air does not strike the vessel
whllo hot.
Instead of using any sort of veil-
case , which requires the folding of an
already mussed veil into still more
creases , use a toy rolling pin and roll
your veils around It , smoothing out
the mussed ends as well as yon can.
Never expose leather to the extreme
heat of a flro or It will become hard
and liable to crack. Shoes and boots
should bo dried at a safe distance
from the Hro , but to expedite the pro
cess they may bo Hlled with oats. The
damp of the leather will bo absorbed
by the oats , which may bo dried and
put away again for future use.
Whenever an oil painting becomes
dusty and discolored , It may bo
cleansed by the use of white raw pota
to , for artists frequently make use of
this method. Commence at one corner
of the picture and rub the surface
with a raw potato which has been flat
tened by removing a slice ; as fast as
the i > otato becomes discolored remove
a thin slice with a sharp knlfo and
continue to rub the picture until the
entire surface hai bean cleansed. Then
wipe the picture off with a soft cloth ,
and It will bo lound quite clean , anu
the paints r.-'U ' not bo Injured or faded ,
but simply cleaned.Good Literature
