 A correspondent of the Kansas City J0ur- 3aa1 talks about s'the Great Northwest" in a style somewhat different from that to which the gentle reader is accustomed. He says that there is certainly no doubt about the capability of the country to produce on its inn mense stretches of plain and prairie enor- nous amount of wheat. But admit this and the whole story is told. Only spring wheat can ever be raised up there, and spring wheat is all the people think talk and dream of. Dalrymple farm is said to have 27 OOO acres under the plough and in wheat. The farm Is supposed to be owned by the railroad company that has the 5000 ,OOO acres of land for sale. It is the largest advertising scheme in the country, and as such is a most decided success, but remunerative, paying farm it is failure. It did not come near paying expenses last year. Again, five six wheat crops ruin and exhaust the fertility of the soil, and there is nothing wherewith to re- generate it. A rotation of crops which the eastern and southern farmer brings to renew the strength of his soil, is there an utter i'm possibility. Corn eannot be raised the sea- son is far too short even for the dwarf varie- ties of New England.

An Evil of the Times.


 The New York Tribune thus considers the fatal lack of stamina in the present genera tion:
 What is the fatal weakness, then, with this generation? Medical men assert that eli matic influence has had much to do with pre- disposing Americans to nervous diseases but the real reason of this universal lack, as we may call it, of stamina or staying power in brains, nowadays, is the continuous and enormous drain made upon them throughout life in the educated classes. There are the actual amount of knowledge which is abso- lutely necessary to well bred man or woman, and which has increased fifty fold in the last century; the fierce competition for place. in come, and public notice; the friction of men, tal contact with all races and all countries by telegraph and newspaper, which is incessant, though unnoticed, in it's wear and tear on the brain but beyond all this is the rapid and startling development among us of luxu- rious tastes, wants and habits of like. From the day that the American child begins to mo- tice his surroundings, his physical brain is subjected to all of these influences. If he has any unusual power of intellect or if he lays out for himself an ambitious career, he will succumb to them the more rapidly, and will die at fifty instead of threescore and ten. His grandfather had as powerful brain as he, and was as ambitious in his day perhaps But his more brief and meagrs school train ing stimulated and did not exhaust his pow AASSSoSs'AAay made by more deliberate steps, his life was largely an out door one. And, in the long intervals that passed between the coming tidings from the horsemen or slow sailing ship, he had time to digest well his opinions and intentions. Add to this the comparative simplicity of a society to which art, music, household decoration, and even dress with its present meaning, were but indifferent terms. The atmosphere of life, in brief, was cool, leisurely, and temperate. Now what is to be done? We cannot turn the worlds dial back nor give up, if we would, the increase of knowledge, the fusion and the fraterniza- tion of nations, uor the larger chances for ambitious men. But even these positive gains do not pay for death or imbecility at middle age. We must give up something. That something ought to be the feature of the age which is of factitious value, it's lux ury and dilettante hobbies The only way of | Tightening the weight laid now on the bread winners for the family is for the family to go back to simpler modes of living. Less dis play, less indulgence of esthetic taste less out lay on every department of social and do- nestle life, will lessen the apalling ravages of nervous diseases among us more certainly ] than any secret of the medicines.

The homoeopathists of Massac huastts want chance to show what they can dc in the treat ment of the insane, and 8 hearing has been given by the governor and council upon the question of giving them charge of a new hos pital to be built near Boston. Dr. Samuel Worcester said that the homoeopathists look upon insanity as mainly disease of the body, and that their remedies have for it the same beneficial effects as for other troubles, and that an appropriation of $2OO,OOO by the State would suffice for the purchase of the land and the erection of buildings Dr. Wor- oester urged that the $2Oo,O0o asked for would be only small part of what homoe- opathlsts have paid in taxes for tho mainte- nance of insane hospitals that they believe are not onlT useless but harmful In their re- suits, but Governor Long observed that if the homoopathists were to be given a hospi- tai at all it should be not because they pay taxes, but that their system of treatment may
 be tested. Officers of the State board of health, Iunacy and charity suggested that the

How an Orange Wrapping Is Conducted In
Florida.


Last night our party of tourists went to
an orange wrapping. A large warehouse
belonging to the Wilkinson place was light
ed up with candles placed along the walls,
and all the "help" of the neighborhood was
gathered. In one corner of the room there
were huge boxes filled with oranges. They
were rugged with handles at each end, and
it took two men to bring one of them in.
On the opposite side of the room were long
tables, behind which sat the wrappers.
The fruit was supplied to them by boys,
who carried it in bread trays, putting tray
to every three men. Before each man was
package of tissue paper. BY dextrous
movement, an orange was enveloped in a
leaf of paper by one movement. As the
fruit was wrapped it was dropped into an
other tray, which was carried to the pack
ers," who stood before a pile of empty
crates. Each orange was placed in the crate
separately, being packed in close rows. A
crate holds from 100 to 40 oranges and
sells here for about SO. The oranges are
not brought direct from the grove to the
-aOUoSt phe AOot % ouJ Va eWO III thO
drying-house. There they are spread over
lattice shelves, where they go through
sweating" process before they are ready
Tor shipment.
The scene in the wrapping house was
pretty one. The golden fruit, piled in rich
profusion, the men and boys laughing as
they handled it so rapidly, the orderly crates
with their tempting contents, a heap of pine
apples in an odd corner, filing the room
with their exquisite flavor, huge lunches of
bananas with just fleck of yellow here and
there amid the green, clean-looking lemons
almost as large as the oranges heaped off to
themselves, great citrons with their royal
gold color, groups of boatmen and hunters
with their swarthy faces and picturesque at
tire lending hand wherever it was needed,
negro with banjo strumming rude tunes
to which the crowd gave casual accompani-
ment, the ladies watching curiously and
sampling IN orange now and then--these
were some of the elements that made up
the scene--the whole being enlivened with
the haste and hustle of getting ready against
the next days boat and having the fruit
ready to go out with the ship. Florida
