THE STRANGER
Walter Bruce.]

w AFTER Druce.I
An aged man came late to Abraham's tent;
The sky was dark, and all the plain was ba7c,
He asked for bread; his strength was we'll
nigh spent;
His haggard look implored the tenderest care
The food was brought. He sat with thankful
eyes,
But spake no grace, nor bowed he toward the
east.
Safe sheltered here from dark and angry
skies,
The bounteous table seemed royal feast.
But ere his hand had touched the tempting
fare,
The patriarch rose, and leaning on his rod.
Stranger he said, "dost thou not bow in
prayer?
Dost thou not fear, dost thou not worship,
God!"
He answered, "Nay." The patriarch sadly
Thou hast my pity. Go! eat not my
bread"
Another came that wild and fearful night
The fierce winds ragged, and darker grew the
sky;
But all the tent was flied with wondrous
And Afrsham knew the Lord his God was
nigh.

To sigh, yet feel no pain; to weep, yet know

FUTURE WHEAT SUPPLY.
But Little Danger That Our Country
Will BE Superseded in the Markets
OF the World.

lSan Francisco Chrunicle3
1t has been well enough known for some
time that the production of wheat in India
was increasing rapidly. A pamphlet on the
subject has recently been published in Cal
cutta, and some facts stated therein are of in
terest. The object is to show s'the dominant
position India occupies as the source
of supply of wheat to Europe; the ease
with which the greater part of Eng
lish grain trade could be diverted from
America to India, and the advantages both
to the English manufacturer and to the
Indian farmer that would result from India
becoming the sole source of supply of wheat
to the United Kingdom" According to the
writer, in 1881 England imported from
America sc, O3S, O74 cwt of wheat alone at a
cost of about 5e20, 055, 066. A hundred mill
ion dollars for wheat alone is pretty round
sum. The writer goes on to say that the
wheat trade of England oscillates between
the three countries of America, Russia and
India, swaying from one country to the other
| on the slightest fuctuation of the price. It is
TO be noticed, however, that these s'oscilla-
tions' amount to very little, the United
| States furnishing from year to year a larger
| amount of wheat.
yet reached its limit, and probably will not
for thirty years or more. The new north
west is a vast country. 1t is just now being
opened up by railroads. All the vast coun-
try, including an area greater than all the
states east Of the Mississippi river, is wheat
producing country. 1t is true that labor is
| dearer i'll this country than it is in India or
in Russia It is true, also. that agricultural
machinery in this country, especially that
used in cutting and threshing wheat has
been brought to greater perfection than In
either OF the other countries. For the pres
ent, at least, there does not seem to be much
! danger that the expectation OF wheat from
this country to Great Britain will be dinin-
| ished by reason OF the resources which Rus
| sia and India possess.
| The truth is, Great Britain win buy bread
| stuffs and cotton in the best markets. For
these two staples the best market is the
, United States. The present area of wheat
| cultivated in India is not much short of
| twenty million acres, the average production
! ranging somewhere between eight and thir-
| teen bushels to the acre. Wheat production
! in that country cannot be materially in
creased without irrigation. The present az
gregate production does not appear to be
! greatly in excess Of consumptinn-that is,
India needs all the wheat produced in that
| country for q well-fed population. 1t is g
| country of extremes. There are q great
many famine seasons. Two or three have
| occurred within few years, when itbecanne
necessary toinrport food for the starving in
habitants, and even this expedient did moi
preveHS a great many from starving Il

I How n water Well Became an Oil
Wen and an Oil iVyen Water

bradford Letter in NewYork Sun
"Talk about tumbles i'll the price of oil,n
said a veteran operator on the Bradford
Petroleum exchange, nothing like the one
of the winter of 1860 mas been known in tbs
modern days of the trade That was tha
winter that Jesse Heydrick put down tho
old Farmers and Mechanics well, or rather
the company that he formed put it down and
that was the first company ever formed to de-
velop the oil territory The well came in
good for about 5000 barrels a day, and
half Of it couldn't be taken care of but ran
Gown the creek in a regular flood. Oil was
oil then, and was worth Sl3 barrel. Pitts
burg was the only market, and we had only
one way to get oil there, and that was by
running it in barges down the Allegheny
river from Oil City. OF course it was neces-
saty 30 have freshets to transport it in this
way. The winter that Heydrick struck his
wei the river was frozen over, but he was
bound to get some oil to Pittsburg. He Sue
ceeded In cutting a way Through, and ran
ten nat boats down lie sold all his oil for
SO barrel. Tie next day thaw set in,
and in two days TIE river broke up. Then
the boats began TO run, and in a short time
the market was overStocked, and in less than
week Oil was selling at 30 cents a barrel.
The early days of oil production were at
tended by many curious incidents. One Of
the queereSt was streak of luck well owner
struck on the creek in 1863 He had drilled a
well down to the third sand, but found moth
ing but water, and three days continuous
pumping failed 30 bring anything else to the
surface, so be abandoned the well in disgust.
The next day a neighbor of his, who was
operating on an adjoining lease came over
to see the disguised well owner, and informed
him, with much excitement, that since the
pumping Of water had ceased at his well great
trouble he'd resulted at the other well, which
had yiehde'l thirty barrels of oil day as long
as the water was being pumped, but upon the
stopping of the water pumping had filed up
with water and prcduce1 no more oil.
The result was that the man who owned
the producing well hired the less fortunate OPP
orator TO keep his pump going, for which he
paid him $40 a week. The producing we'll
was thus restored to its former condition, and
things worked satisfactorily for six months,
when suddenly one day the well that had
been yielding nothing but water began pump
ing oil. and the one that had yielded oil in
turn became water well The changed sit
uation resulted in a lawsuit, which was won
by the owner Of the well that had at first
yielded nothing but water"

Republicans are making a great blow
over New York, but it ia necessary
for them TO make some pretentionS

1t is that their candidate for Secre-

their party because recent develop

Democratic nominee for that position
is very unpopular. The remaining
candidates on the Democratic ticket
are elected by majorities ranging
