SMALL BEGINNINGS.

A traveller through a dusty road strewed
acorns on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up. and grew
into a tree.
Love sought its shade, at evening time, to
breathe its early vows;
And age was pleased, in heats of noon, to bask
beneath its boughs;
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs, the
birds sweet music bore;
1t stood glory in its place, blessing ever
more.
A little spring had lost its way amid the grass
and fern,
A passing stranger scoeped q well, where
weary men might turn;
He walled it in, and hung with care ladle at
the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did, butjudged
that toll might drink.
He passed again, and 10! the well by sum-
mers never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues,
and saved life beside.
A dreamer dropped random thought; it
was old, and vet twas new;
simple fancy of the brain, but strong in be-
ing true.
1t shone upon genial mind, and lo its
light became
A lamp of life, beacon ray, monitory flame.
The thought was small; its issue great; a
watchfire on the hill;
It sheds its radiance far adown, and cheers
the valley still!
A nameless man, amid crowd that thronged
the daily mart
Letfan word of hope and love, unstudied
from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown-a transitory
breath
1t raised brother from the dust; it saved a
soul from death.
Oh germ! Oh fount! Oh word of love! Oh
thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first, but mighty at
the last.

While on the subject Of British consump-
don of breadstuffs, it may not be considered
digression to refer to the remarks made
on the opening day by our friend on the En-
glish delegation, Mr.. HILBERT. / understood
him to say that his people would buy our
wheat, but did not or would not, If they
could help it, buy our -four. Let MS see what
they have done in this line during the rast
twenty years. In the year 1859 Great Brite--'
imported of wheat -four made in this coun-
try $4,000 barrels. During all the years up
to that date there are only two in which the
quantity fell below the figure, while the i'm
portations average far above, reaching in
several years as high as 2,500.000 to 8,OO0,-
600, aggregating nearly 25,OO0,O0O barrels
for the twenty years.. the last year, 1879,
showing 1923, 900. Tie British official fig
ures just referred to place the quantity at g.
sea, 900 cwts. This does not look as though
our English cousins could stop buying from
us, even If they wanted to. Mr.. HILBERT al
30 made the statement that American flour
sold in English markets for less money than
in New York. Did he mention this fact as
being something strange, or simply that II
was o condition of affairs very detrimental
to his interests as British miller Dees
he not know that American millers and
shippers, in placing our surplus -four when
necessary upon British marksts at prices
lower than those ruling at home, are doing
only the same thing that British shippers
have always done in every line Of goods
manufactured in the kingdom We are apt
scholars, and We we're taught long years ago
by our English cousins to throw on Other
markets our surplus, and, IL necessary, dis
pose of it ct the best attainable price, JUS
what margin Of profit there is to our milleri
ct prices now ruling in English markets fol
American -four / know not, but have NO,
the slightest doubt in my own mind that we
will continne to ship good supply to those
markets, and In view Of the fact that we are
constantly cheapening the cost Of manufac
turing bJ increasing production and BY tht
use Of most improved appliances. In view

THE WORLDS WHEAT CROP.
Wh@t This Planet Produces IN the L6ne q
Wheat and Flour,


AT the convention of millers at Cincinnati
Mr. Howard Lockwood, editor of the Amers-
ca" MGa and ErpOrt Journal, read very
valuable paper on the wheat crops Of the
worio. 1t was a very carefully prepared
paper, evidently the result of much careful
research. The following is an abstract of
the address:
In the year 1880 there were exported from
this country 1,124, ,458 bushels of wheat and
724, ,O23 barrels of -four. The year 1879
shows an export of wheat more than one
hundred times greater than 1890, amounting
to 122, 2,353,936 bushels, while the export Of
flour aggregated for the year 5,629, I'll bar
rels, or nearly the same increase. What an
immense significance is attached to the
figures have Just read. What progress is
indicated by them! In the year 1880 the
original thirteen States were stretched along
the Atlantic coast, o mere fringe to the
mighty government that was afterward
spread over this continent, from ocean to
ocean. These States contained population
about the same as the State of Ohio does to-
day.
The exports of wheat seems to have con-
tinued in about the same amounts till the
year 1875, when it fell off to about 141, 900
bushels, and kept declining till the year
1899, when only 1O, 600 bushels were sent out
of the country. After that there seems to
have been gradual Improvement to the
year 1907, when 1,173, 900 bushels are on the
records.
The year 1919, however, shows an almost
entire wiping out of our report in this line, but
1852 bushels having been sent out of the
country. In 1916 there are to be found nu
entries Of exports of wheat, and only 1O3, 900
barrels of flour. From 1915, however, the
flour reports took an advance to over 300, 600
barrels, and have continued to run up heavy
every year down to the present time, increas-
ing until 1879, year showing an aggregate
of 5,629, 900 barrels, valued at 1929, 500, 900.
Exports of wheat varied from 1914 to 1910
and 1916, 1886 showing only 2,O62 bushels,
while in 1910 1,72O,OOO are recorded. In
1857, the year of the panic, we shipped
abroad IA ,57O,O bushels, and in 1862 the
grand figures of 37,8OO,OOO bushels were
reached. 1t was not until 1873, another
panic year, that the figures of 1862 were
beaten and doubled, the value being $1O1, :
421,O0O. 1873 showed the same result, and
the great year of 1879 showed 122 1853, ,OOO
bushels, valued at $3.50, ,7O1, 900.
Here is table showing the average an
nual exports of wheat and -four for each five
years, and the average prices, as far as could
be sscertained, from 1880 to 1879:

water. A wrecking steamer was dispatched
to the scene Of the disaster from
New London this morning, and divers win be-
gin work tomorrow, probably. Five bodies
were recovered from the wreck to-day, four
men aud child, the latter badly burned in
the face. Large quantities of stuff floated
from the wreck to-day and were secured. This
morning the keeper of the North Dumping
light house, picked up metallic life boat, bot
tom up, containing lot Of life preservers that
were marked "Narragansett." 1t is supposed
that the boat was overcrowded, and had upset
and all drowned. 1t Is thought when the div
ers penetrate the cabins m any bodies will be
found. Allowing for exaggeratiOns it is be-
lieved that the total loss win be about fifty.
Since four o'clock eight more bodies have
been recovered and taken to Mantle, where
cotfins will be sent by the steamers company.
One Of the saddest events connec ted with the
horrible calamity is the case of Mrs. A. P. Dix
of Brooklyn, vile of brother of the firm of
Dix and Pheyfe. Mrs. Dix was on the Nara
gansett with her three children and nurse
All are lost but Mrs. Dix herself. They were
all helped into life boat. Men tried to lowe
the boat but water poured in and capsized it
When the life boat righted again some of the
women were carried away and the men aban.
doned the boat, Mrs. Dix, her nurse, baby, lit
tie boy and girl clung to the boat, but the boat
was turned over in the same way three times
and Mrs. Dix saw her baby, her nurse, her
little boy and girl washed away. Her dia-
mond rings were imbedded in the swollen
flesh, the skin being torn of her fingers, hands
and wrists, by the boat sides, and ropes to
which she had clung for life. AS soon as the
City of New York arrived, wsrd was sent to
Mr.. Dix. He rushed to the pier and found
his wife. The meeting of father and mother
who had lost their entire family brought tears
to the eyes of every one. The other surviv-
ors who had not met with so great losses for
got their own misery for moment in sympa-
thizing with the unfortunate man and wife
whose children were drowned.

Information was received, June is, at
st. Paul by Gen. Terry, commanding the de.
partment of Dakota, that eighty lodges Of
hostile Sioux, of Sitting Bulls band, had come
into Fort Keogh and surrendered. Also that
scouts at that fort reported that two hundred
other lodges of the band had crossed the Mis-.
souri, river, with the evident intention of sur
rendering. Owing to the fact that the tele
| graph between Bismarck and Keogh has
been badly prostrated by recent storms. Gen
Terry was unable to obtain particulars of the
surrender, but no doubt is felt by him of ths
genuineness Of the report, not only for the &C
tual surrender Of the eighty lodges, but alst
Of the intention Of the two hundred lodges
mentioned by the scouts as following in tn,

SAVED BY TERRIER
Battle With a Grizzly

"Don't point that gun this, way, Mis-
ter, if you please !" said nervous travel
er coming over the Union Pecific road
during one of the heavy snow storms
last winter. The passengers laughed at
his tears, for they knew the gun had
been well fred of. The man who
brought the gun in lifted 1t and stood it
straight up. He had laid it down first
across the top Of the seats until he could
get little snipe of dog from out the
breast of his coat where he had him
packed. It was at Truckee station the
man procured the gun, mast of the other
passengers staged it over from the Sierra
Butte country. The nervous passenger
did not get on until after the incident
occurred that emptied tho gun so COM
pletely, and he was not aware of its his
tory.
The weather had been tor few days
extremely cold. Our train got TO True
kee, about four feet of snow stuck us,and
what seemed curlous, FOR it was 90 cold,
a small stream the Truckee River, had
swelled up ever the trestle work and
washed it out. It had been forty de-
grees below zero, but it was now moderat-
ing. One man raised laugh by getting
out on the platform and calling back,
"Come out, come out, its getting warm;
its only ten degrees below"
GAME SIGHTED.
The train was delayed several hours.
There were but half a dozen passengeas
all told, and they all got out on the sta
tion platform. In locking down the val
ley from the station (Truckee is away up
in the mountains on the main line of the
Central Pacific r. R.) we could see some
kind OF an animal coming down out of
the timber and making Its way over the
top of the snow towards the river. 1t
looked Like steer or mule and none
of the travellers thought it was anything
else.
The snow was about four feet deep and
frozen so hard that one could walk over
the top of 1t without breaking through.
Captain Vincent Yore, of st. Louis,
man well known in steamboat circles
both In st. Louis and in Pittsburg, and
in tact all along the river, was one of the
passengers. There is considerable OF the
dare-d devil underneath his quiet demean-
or, having run the upper Missouri in his
early days, and attended many an In
dian council along with General Sher-
man, when the General lived In st.
Louis. Yore was returning from San
Francisco, where he had been to settle
some railroad business for st. Louis par
ties, and was fixed up clean and bright
as new pin. He spied the animal and
said he thought it was bear, and that
If he had gun he would go down and
shoot it. We all laughed at him, for he
did not look much like bear hunter,
and the station agent, big burly fell
low with red flannel shirt, and boots
outside of his panss-a regular picture Of

Wheat.
Flour

The marvellous increase of the Russian
foreign trade from 1860 to 1874, has been
fully treated on under its appropriate head
ing, it having amounted to 14O, 100000
roubles in 1874, Of this amount the grain
export especially being valued at $4,000, 600
roubles in 1860, amounted to 212,O0O,OOO in
1873. During the last war in America the
United States lost ground in the export of
this article, as we'll as in other goods of
American produce. Not further back than
in 1876, the United States supplied only IA
per cent. of the demand of the English
market, while Russia furnished fully A per
cent. of the same. In 1873 this proper ton
became reversed, the United States supply
ing "A per cent. while Russia furnished only
% per cent. of the same.
a tabulated statement of who are our
wheat and flour customers was presented,
he principal of which are as follows
