WidOWers and Widows.

The Cincinnati Gazette gives the fol-
lowing advice to widower: If our wild
owed friend shall marry a widow, he
will avoid the risk of dashing any ro-
mantle female ideals of the high and
noble character of man. She knows
what man is, and knowledge has driven
from her mind all this nonsense. She
has found that man is a creature of a
narrow mind, Of no high pursuits, of
few ideas, of a generally dull compost
ton, of small passions, and largely gov
erned by his own bodily wants that, if
he is made comfortable by supplying
his physical appetites, he is amiable,
like the anaconda after full meal. She
looks for no hero, and is in no danger of
being soured by that disappointment
Therefore he need not fear that when
the halo of the honeymoon has dissipa-
ted, he viii find in her a far-away ex.
preston of face and q listle5s manner,
as if expectancy had failed She knew
the situation when she accepted it.
He will find that she knows all the
little habits and little wants which 90 so
far to make up man; knows how 10
crafty them, and exc how to regulate
them Il9Trlf, z, And he will continually be stim
sainted husband, which she will hold
over his head. That these had no more
real existence than Sarah Camps Mrs.
Harris does not mitigate their moral in
fiuence. Some have been known to be
so restive under this as to say that they
would never do it again unless the pre-
vious one had been hanged. But there
is no assurance that even this would
avail. And besides, the hanging of her
husbands might be catching. Some
husband may have been taken off in a
natural way, yet it is best not TO en-
courage this by marrying a widow; but
mans nature is to dare.

What Happened to a Pittsburg Man
Recently.

Newspapers nowadays are full of
stories of the marvellous luck which has
befallen people who did not look for
any thing of the kind to happen. Every
now and then we hear of somebody
having large fortune left to them by
the death of a distant relative, a cousin
in California or something of that kind.
Not long ago a young Pittsburger had
a singular piece of luck happen to him.
One day the young gentleman in ques-
ton was walking down Fifth Avenue
when he saw an old and rather decrepit
man slip on a crossing and fail heavily.
He aided him to regain his footing, and
helped him into a neighbOring drug
store, where the old man had his leg
mended with sticking plaster, as he had
knocked some of the skin off. The old
fellow seemed very grateful for the cOur-
tesy which had been shown him, and,
after asking the name of the young man
who had been of service to him, he
wrote it down in a memorandum book,
and said, as he shook hands, ''My name
is -, amfrom Massachusetts,. Some
day, perhaps, you may hear from me-"
Time passed on, and all recollection of
the occurrence passed from the Pitts
burgers mind. He became embarrass-
ed in business, and was reduced to eX-
treme poverty. One day when he felt
extremely down-hearted, and did not
know which way to turn for ivsii-
hood, he chanced TO pick up Boston
paper, and, to his intense astonishment,
he SAYS that the old man whom he had
picked up on Fifth Avenue was dead,
and by his will, which was published IN
the paper, the Pittsburger saw that
fortune of over $500, 600 had been left
by the dead man to found theological

prairie may be under wheat cultivation,
and that the area may be doubled with
in five years from the present time.
This will mean an addition of some 1O0,-
100000 bushels to the wheat products of
the world. When we consider that the
total importation of wheat-after re-
ducing flour to its equivalent in the
whole grain-has not averaged for the
United Kingdom more than 1O0, ,000, 900
bushels per annum, we can measure the
influence which the opening of Manito-
ba is likely to have upon the supply of
the English market. 1t will tend to
make the mother country independent
of foreign purveyors, and might enable
the British Parliament, if, under the
stress of industrial depression, it should
incline once more to protectionist views,
to impose a discriminating duty on i'm
ports from the United States.-NesO

How They Settle a Lawsuit in Ireland.

A couple in Ireland were recently
sentenced to matrimony in rather
curious way. Ayoung man and ayOung
woman were cOntesting possession of
piece of property, the one claiming
under an old lease, the other under an
old will. '' 1t just strikes me-" said
the Judge, s' that there is a pleasant and
easy way to terminate this old lawsuit.
The plaintiff appears to be a respectable
young man, and this very nice young
woman. They can both get married
and live happily on the farm. If they
go on with law proceedings 1t viii be all
frittered away between the lawyers,
who, I am sure, are not ungallant
enough to wish the marriage not to
come off, The lady blushed and the
young man stammered they Z" liked each
other little bit;" so a verdict was en-
tered for the plaintiff on condition of
his promise to marry the defendent
within two months, a stay of execution
being put to the verdict till the mar
riage ceremony should be completed.

What There is in Wheat.

The wheat grain is a fruit consisting
of seed and its coverings. All the
middle part of the grain is occupied by
large, thin cells, full of pOWdery sub
stance, which contains nearly all the
starch of the wheat. Outside the CEN
trail starchy mass is a single row of
squarish cells filed with yellowish ma
terial, very rich in nitrogenOus, that is,
flesh-forming matter. Beyond this again
there are six thin coats or coverings,
containing much mineral matter, both
of potash and phosphates. The outer
most coat is of but little value. The
mill products of these coverings of the
seed are peculiarly rich in nutriment,
and fine flower is robbed of a large per-
centage of valuable and nutritious food.
Middlings not only contain more fibrin
and mineral matter than fine flour, but
also more fat. The fibrous matter, or
outer coat, which is indigestible, forms
one-sixth of the bran, but not one-hun-
dreth of the fine flour. Wheat contains
the greatest quantity of gluten and the
smallest of starch: rye, a medium pro-
portion of both, while in barley, oats,
and corn, the largest proportion OF
starch and the smallest of gluten are to
be found. In practice 100 pounds oi
flour will make from 1873 to 137 pounds
of bread, a good average being 136
pounds; hence a barrel of 1876 pounds
should yield 226 one-pOund loaves.-
