as follows:

between English and French csli-

that there will be a deficiency OF

AN OLD saw.

A dear little maid came skipping out
In the glad new day with meery shout;
With dancing leet and with flying hair
She sang with JOY in the morning air,
"Don't sing before breakfast, you'll cry be-
fore night"
What a croak to darken the childs delight!
And the stupid old nurse again and again,
Repeated the ancient, dull refrain.
The child paused, trying to understand;
But her eyes saw the great world RAINBOW
spanned:
Her light little feet hardly touched the earth;
And her soul brimmed over with innocent
mirth.
Never mind-don't listen-sweet little maid
Make sure of your morning song, - / said;
'.And if pain must meet you, why all the
more
Be glad OF the rapture that came before.
"Oh, tears and sorrow are plenty enough;
Storms may be bitter and paths be rough;
But our tears should fall like the dear
.earth's showers
To help to ripen the fruits and flowers.
So gladden. the cay with your blisful song:
Sing on while you may dear, sweet and
stroug!
Make sure of your moment of pure delight,
No matter what trials may come before
night"

OF delicacy; but If there ia anything
inviting, or even tolerable, in piece
of old seal or whale blnl,ber which
has lain around until it has become
rotten, and then eaten raw, | failed
10 see it.-This wonid seem 10 be
sufficient to tempt one to adopt a
Vegetable diet; but where are the
Vegetables? Nature seems to have
provided that they should be conten-
ted and happy on such food, and
they prefer it to any food we can
offer them. As said before, the
people look healthy aud seem free
from disease, but they have a horld
custom of boring holes in their faces,
at each cornor of their mouth, and
wearing large ivory button therein,
which gives them curious aud dlsa-
greeab!e appearance.
But, Mr.. Editor, I cannot finish
this voyage in one letter. Alaska is
large country, and it would take a
large letter to write it all mp. | will
say in conclusion, howsrer, that the
purchase of it from Russia for seven
and half millions of dollars was not
bad bargain, and Il the Government
could buy il again from the Alaska
Commercial Company for another
seven and half millions it would be
another good bargain. And when
the time comes that Alaska is truly
and absolutely part OF the United
States, SO tha, our people can go To
it and develop the rich mineral de-
posi,s, which no doubt exist, we may
find it one of the richest an.l most
valuable portions of our vast domain.

THE WHEAT SITUATION.

We give. in another column a
detailed statement of the needs and
supplies of wheat this year, translated
from the "Bulle.in dcs Halles," nt
Paris, 4 recognized authority. /,
will be seen that the needs of the
importing countries are twenty i've
million bushels less than the surplus
OF the exporting countries. There
has for long while been consider
able speculation as To how the matter
really stood, therefore, our farmers
and wheat dealers will feel more at
ease at the pernsal nf this valual,is
statement. Some wild estimates as
10 the export surplus If Russia have
been made, and have been put e:cn
as higl. as l25, 900, 900 0O-about doui,-
lc the quantity given in his statement
- but the figures are evidently crrn-
nrous, and those of the ''Bnllelin .ls.s
Ha!les' are double those of the actual
export of Russia in 1880. The sur
plus of the United States is given al
100000 bushels. The crop of
1880 WIS 4s0,Ooo,0 900 bushels, while
AN exceedingly conservative estimate
makes this years crop J less. Tnat
would reduce her export surplus co.
100000 bushels, without taking into
account the increased consumption
from increased population and from
the partial failure of the corn crop.
But vii llIant taking these into ae-
count, the fact remains that We could
not Lave for export this year more
Than the figures given in this stat. :
nent, probably less. Il may happen
that We will not have To exceed Il
hundred million bushels of this years
crop for export, of which on,-!hrl
will come iram the Pacti.. Eut il
we add the quantity held over here,
the total will come very near that
already given.
II may be noticed by those win"
study the table, that th,. probable
exports of the United State, and the
probable needs of Great Britain
about balance each other, or rather
that the United States and Australia
export as much as England needs.
Chile and ln,lia export as much as
Holland is expected TO import, while
the needs of Germany will he balan-
crh by he exports OF Canada. Rus
sia will export enough TO supply
France and Switzerland.
France next to England, has the
greatest need OF foreign wheat, while
I,3lv will take about one-lourth :ls
mucD as France.
The prospects for good prices were.
ue.cr better than they We're this
year. Russia was the only bnghtar,
but unless all reasonable calculations
are out, she will not export more
than given in the table, nor probably
as much.-San Francisco Journal oi

estimates OF requirements Is only
1925, 900 hectoliires, or about 4 $3.50,
600 bushels, and the estimates ful
the different countries agree very
closely except for Italy, Spain and
Portugal, and the We t Indies and
Brazil Following is like co,npari
son of the two estimates Of prouable
surplus:
Bulletin Beerbohms
Countries. hectolitres hectolitres
U. S. and Canada. 48, 100000 37.70O, ,O0O
Aust,o- Hun gary 1900 600 2,l75, 600

Australia, Chilli India 10000 9,455, ,00O
Total. ........ $4,000. 600 $500, 600
The difference between the two
estimates is 6 100000 hectolightres,
or about le,2S9,OO bushels. The
principal difference, ii will! he seen,
lies in Bee. .bohm's lower estimate of
the exportable surplus of the United
States and G.: NADIA, and Of Russia
aud the Danube. 1t has been re-
marked that in forecasting the future
of breadstuffs account should be
iakcn of the fact that in Russia and
other eastern states the rye crop has
been exceptionally good, and, as rye
is the ce.eai in common use for food
in those countries, the disposablc
surplus of wheat will be larger than
the reported yield of that crop. taken
bv itself would indicate. This is
undoubtedly true; but, after making
all proper allowance on this account,
there must be a considerable d-ticien-
cy, ifeither the Eng i.sh or the French
estimate is approximately correct.
The ec'olnre i. the equivalent of
2 So bushels nearly. The English
statisiician makes the deficiency
much greater than the French. The
latter is probably the more correct.
The only doubtful point in the case
at all is the probable surplus OF Rus
sia, which has been placed at much
larger fi.ures than either Of those
given abese. On the whole, it seems
that a good demand and high |
market is to be looked Cor this year. |
