FACTS ABOUT WaEAT.-Mr. j. I. Roth.
rock, professor Of botany in the Agricultural
College of Pennsylvania, says that it was
long ago oticed that wheat from France.
when cultivated IN Canada, needed to be
acclimated before it would yield good crop.
Climate ais, has an important influence on
the proportion Of gluten and starch found IN
wheat. That grown in . warm climate has
more gluten in proportion to the starch than
in 8 c,ld climate. The gluten contains a
large quantity of nitrogen. which serves to
build up the muscular portion Of the system.
Starch contains large quantity Of carbon.
which, with oxygen, is generator Of heat,
aud i. especially needed by man in cold
climate. II a kernel of whea. is divided by
cutting it crosswise the outer coat viii be
composed of the cellular tissue or bran the
mex, is the gluten and the central portion
the starch, which constitutes large portion
of the kernel. In ginding, large portion
of the important element. gluten. is often
lost with the bran. Wheat con aims the
largest amouut Of gluten in proportion to
the starch when ripe. In an experiment
with Narbonne wheat it Was found that
when cut eighteen days before being ripe it
contained only SIX per cent. OF gluten. but
twelve per cent when fully ripe. Since
gluten is not quite SO white as starch 1t will
follow that wheat cut little before il is
dead ripe will make whittier Hour than when
Gu, a, later PERIOD. but it Will be less nu-
tr,:ious and less 10 quantity.

mand for cheap labor has sprung up, and the
question is now being considered where is it

The Presidential party last week en-
toyed a climate Of such bracing tempera.
ture that "frost on the grass and shrubs
glistened in the sunlight like diamond
d1st," the mercury dropped in the morning
&c twenty degrees, and water that was pro-
cured few moments before the party sat
down to breakfast froze before the repast
was finished.
JOHN W. BrGELow, OF New York, was
found dead In bed at his cottage az New
port, X. l., the other day. He was recently
rescued from drowning, when rumor pre-
vailed that he had attempted suicide, and
u was supposed that he finally killed him
self.
THE other day Frank X. Foster, Secretary
OF the Trades Union Federation, addressed
the Senate Committee on Labor and Educa-
ton In New York at some length, and held
that workingmen had just as much right To
organize and fix the value or price Of their
labor as the Standard Oil Company, grain
or other merchants had 10 set the price Of
oil or other commodities. He thought the
eight-hour system would work great benefit
for the laboring classes.

Righteously Indignant.

An anecdote which heard the other
day of the famous Sullivan family of
New England may not be uninteresting
here.
When that sturdy Irish woman, to
whom the Sullivan family may well
look back with pride, was crossing the
Atlantic on her way to the new country,
and was asked: 'Why do you come to
American" she answered, ITO raise
Governors for Them" little dreaming
that she would live 10 see one of her
sons Governor of New Hampshire, and
another Governor of Massachusetts,
though am sorry to say the third did
not so auch honor to his family, and
was known as "Devil jim" The story
goes that soon after John Sullivan rose
to be Governor of New Hampshire be
desired to give grand dinner to mum.
Der of distinguished guests. Amember
er, and fearing she would not be equal
to the occasion, he concluded it would
be best to arrange for her non-appear-
ance at the dinner-table.
Approaching the matter as gently as
possible, he soon succeeded in making
the quick-witted old lady understand
the drift of his diplomatic talk. and in
convincing himself that he had miscal-
culated the pride of the mother of the
Sullivans.
Rising in all the majesty of her Irish
wrath. John Sullivan" exclaimed the
old lady. :. i have hoed potatoes in the
