Population Of China.

A leading and educated Chinaman,
Kwang Chang Ling, is writing letters to
California journals, in which he tells us
much about China that we have not hith-
erto known. For instance, that the pop
ulation is only 100, 0,000,0 900 or 120, ,0O0, 900,
instead of 450,OOO,000, as generally re-
ported; that the country has reached the
limit of agricultural development; that
the population and prosperity have been
decreasing since 1861; that unless i'm
proved machinery and methods adopted
from the Western countries, the people
will not be able to support themselves,
since they are already as poor as possible
and live; that the wealth of the Empire
is in the hands of the few, and that with
diminishing population and increasing
wages at home, there can be no great tide
of immigration to this country, so Ameri-
cans need have no fear.

'FultZ Wheat.

The Ful1 wheat is the best variety now
in the market, and if properly farmed,
will yield on an average equal to any
wheat in the country, says the American
Miller. Many farmers claim 40 bushels
per acre this season. 1t has a stiff straw,
and does not lose any grain in handling,
and when it is cut will lie compact and
take up less barn room than any other
variety Of wheat. 1t will weigh 81 lbs.
per bushel if clean; it always sells readily
for the highest price, and the flour manu-
factured from it has no superior. The
farmers have it in their power to have the
best wheat in the country, and always
find ready sale; and why will they per-
sist in spreading worthless variety that
will not benefit them in the least. Farm
ers. take warning.

The Three Wise Men.
BY JOEL BRUSH.

Three wise old men were hey, were they,
Who went 10 walk on a winter day.
Ore earned club to dig for pickle;
One wore an ulster 70 keep of pickles:
The thfrd, and he WIS the Hisest one,
To XIII the mosquitoes, carried gun
'1Oh dear - cried one, ''Three wise women see
The only chance for our lives is to fec" !"
So they ran TIL they reached the great north pole
And up in the stealthiest way they stole;
But high al the top sat Polar bear,
Which filed the three wise men with despair.
One used his club for a parachute
One from the stock Of his gun did shoot
The third, in the ulster, tainted away,
And there he'd have lam TO this very day,
II the three old women had not appeared,
And found them all more hurt than skeered.
One famed the ulster into life,
For which he gladly made her his wife:
One caught the club man on her ladder
T was hard 10 tell which felt the madder,-
And the third, before he had time to ask il,
Carried the sportsman of in her basket.

A Mistake.
BY MARY NAPEs DODGE

Little Rosy Red-cheek said unto clover:
Flower why were you made?
was made for mother,f
She hasn't any other;
But you were made for 20 one, I'm afraid
Then the clover softly unto Red-cheek whis-
pered:
PUCK me, ere you CO."
Red-cheek, little dreaming,
Pulled, and ran of screaming,
"Oh, naughty, naughty flower; to sting ME 50 2"
Foolish child !" the startled bee buHzed Grossly,
Foolish not to see
That make my honey
While the day IS sunny;
That the pretty little clover lives for me ~
