According to the authority Of the St Louis
merchants exchange recently given, l,OO9 1853
bushels of wheat were handled in that city be-
tween the dates of January l, and March 9.
That is a very good showing for st. Louis, but
she should not forget that during the same
period of time Minneapolis handled 1,O44, 400
bushels Of wheat, beng an excess Of st, 1Sl
bushels over st. Louis. Minneapolis can and

Covering the frozen land,
DO the little nowerets peep
To be crushed by winters handT
No, they wait for brighter days.
Wait for bees and butterflies;
Then their dainty heads they raise
To the sunny. sunny skies.
When the cruel north winds sigh,
When tits cold with wind and rain,
do the brides homeward ny
Only to go back again'
No, they wait for spring to come,
Wait for gladstone sun and showers;
Then they seek their northern home,
Seek It's leaiy, fragrant bowers.

Tho we long for brighter hours,

The DomesticatiOn of Animals

Professor Rolleston, on Thursday
evening, gave lecture at the London
Institution on "The History OF Some OF
Our Domestic Animals" In introduce
ing the subject he dwelt on the civiliza-
ton of the human race in connection
with the domestication of animals,
showing how civilization advanced with
the development of domestication. 1t
is difficult to conceive how man could
have made any progress in civilization
till he had beasts of burden and trained
animals to help him in hunting. AS an
illustration of the evolution of domesti-
cation the substitution was mentioned
of the horse for the OK for the beast OF
burden, as it was generally found that
it was more profitable to keep the OK in
good condition for food. The domesti-
cation of birds appears, from what evil
dence we have, to have commenced
long subsequently to that of the man.
mails. The study of the remains OF do
mcsticated animals found with the re-
mains of human occupancies often con-
tributes to knowledge of the origin OF
the people. For example, the goat re-
mains found in the lake dwellings point
to the people having come from warm,
err district and having taken that useful
milk-producer with them. We have no
record, no tradition even, as to who first
attempted domestication; but there
is, Professor Rolleston thinks, sufficient
reason for believing that the dog was
the first animal to be domesticated, the
pig the second, and the OK the third
The methods for calculating the history
of domestication are, for prehistoric
times, the study of the remains of pile
dwellings and other living-places, burial
places and peat MOSES. The stalls
sites, kennels, stables and gardens Of
to-day supply knowledge of some of the
effects of training. Coins and monu
ments supply useful historic evidence
but the absence of representations of an
imals from those of any particular period
must not be taken to imply they were
not Familiarity known. In considering
the evolution of the domestication o.
the dog, it seems probable that as mel
used pitfalls for the capture of animal;
for food, and these pits would contain
remnants attractive to dogs, the dog
would soon be attached TO the pits
would have an interest in their being
well supplied, and would join with mel
in driving animals, and thus common
interest caused mutual attachment. Ii

awe might mortgage the place, " said
Miss Kitty, signing.
"And retire to the alms-house, chp"
returned her sister.
"But what alternative is open to us9
Shall we allow Tom to come to grief?"
"Tom richly deserves all the grief
that will fall to his share, poor fellow.
Such Il schemer! Expected to make a
fortune for us all, forsooth, that we
might flaunt in our velvets, drive our
span, and fare sumptuously every day!
One dollar for us and two for himself,
reckon. What should such a boy know
about speculation? It's the old story
over and over. Specializing with other
peoples money is little indiscreet, to
say the least. l should have chosen
sackcloth and ashes rather than velvets
won by such means"
Certainly. But now that Tom is in
volved, nothing but money will extricate
him. There's my watch, the heirloom
from Grandma Pentecost; there are fiji
ty diamonds bedded in the case, if
there's one"
"Rose diamonds, every spark of
them"
"Not to mention the pearls and en-
eralds."
"Doublets and split pearls, 1 dare
say"
"You are so discouraging, Liddy!
We must have the money. l don't sup
pose that the watch would bring a tenth
of the sum, but it would help. Dear!
dear! there's Hannah de Rothschild,
