From the best data at present attain

to about 200, 100000 bushels, and over
and above the amount required for seed
and home consumption, we shall have a
surplus of about 180,000,000 bushels
for export. If our wheat production is
to be kept up at anything like its pre-
sent magnitude it seems not unlikely
that we must be willing, at least at the

RUsKIN AND BISHOP ON UsURY

Ruskin having remarked in a recent
magazine article that he had personally
and publicly challenged the bishops of
England generally, and by name the
Bishop of Manchester; to say whether
usury was or was not according to the
will of God, and that he had received
no answer from any one of them, DR..
Fraser publisher in The Contemporary
ReOieao letter saying he was unaware
until short time ago of the existence of
such challenge, and proceeds then to
speak of usury' DR.. Fraser assumes,
as an example, that he invests GI, 900
which he has saved from his salary in
Northwestern per cent debenture
stock and that he receives G4O year
for its use. Who in the world is he
injuring and what is he dong? Unless
money had been invested in the road by
somebody the road would never have
been built-a road which was abso-
lutely necessary to the prosperity of the
nation, and one which gives employment
to an immense number of men. Mr..
Ruskin replies to the letter in the same
number of The RevieU, and his reply
is described as really "an indict-
ment against the whole system Of mod
ern society" He says it may be a
matter of private opinion how far the
''lucre" derived by the Bishop on the
fares and refreshments of the passen-
gers by the Northwestern is in accord
ance with the will of God, but he adds
that the higher class of laborers in the
Lords vineyard might surely with
true grace receive from the last unto
the first the reflected instruction SC
often given by the first to the last, "Be
content with your wages"

SPREADING THEMSELVES.

The more man sees of the world,
and the more he mingles with others,
the smaller space is he inclined to claim
for himself among his fellows. He sees
that in the pushing struggle of life.
other peoples rights must be considered;
and he must not take more ground than
just enough to stand on. This is very
marked in all public places and convey
ances The man or women who is best
versed in society makes smallest de-
mands, aud occupies least space. The
persons who take more room than be-
longs to them are those who have been
least in company, least accustomed to
adapt themselves 70 the needs of those
about them.-If you want to be thought
well-bread, travelled, cosmopolitan, keep
your elbows in crowd, and sit close in
street car. If you want to be thought
boorish and uncultivated, and to be
recognized as one who was never much
in good company, push both sides of
you, as we'll as in front and rear, in a
crowd, and spread yourself out in pub
lie hall. 1t is by such indications as
these that we see that the demands of
Christian regard for the rights and feel
ings of others secure the best results of
good-breeding. To be well-grounded
Christian man or woman includes the
highest graces of true gentility.

A MICHIGAN GIRL WHO MEANS
TO GET A HUSBAND.

A Detroiter who was out In the coun-
try to look after some poultry, got stuck
in mud hole, although having light
buggy and strong horse. He got out,
took rail off the fence, and was trying
to pry the vehicle out, when along came
strapping young woman, about twenty
six years of age. She halted, surveyed
the situation, and said:
"You stand by the horse while I heave
on the rail and don't be afraid of getting
mud on your hands and boots"
Their united efforts released the vehi-
Gle, and the Detroiter returned thanks
and asked her to get In and ride. She
hesltated, looked up and down the road,
and finally said:
stranger, I'm blunt spoken. Who
are you?"
He gave his name and residence, and
she continued:

cash, know all about housework, and

don't ask me to marry you" he replied
as he saw the drift.
