WEAR AND TEAR OF GOLD.


The annual loss of gold by attrition,
shipwreck, fires, ETC.. is very small, not
quite two tons, or e280,0O0. According
to Jevons, gold coin loses 2 per cent in
100 years-that is, E147,O00 per aunum,
on the actual amount, e736, 100000. The
loss by shipwreck can not possibly be
higher than one-sixth of the ratio of loss
in the sea-borne merehandise-say, e2
for every s1,OOO shipped; and as the
quantity of sea-borne gold in 1S71-8O
averaged $50, 100000 per annum, the loss
by shipwreck would be e101 900. If we
allow $4,000 for loss by fires, we make
up total wear OF e2S0,OOO, or two tons,
the existing stock being trife under
1000 tons. McCull used to reckon for
jewellers loss, wear and tear, ETC., about /
per cent which would be nearly E4,0OO,-
600 year of our present stock. The
consumption" by jewellery is probably
even more now, but this nowise affects
the question of possible famine, since
the jeweler' consumption goes to swell
the uncoined reserve. 1t would appear
that eighty years ago the uncoined
reserve was better understood
than to-day, for find in the Edinburg
Review of 1903 the following passage:
1.-The precious metals have q two fold
use-for manufactures and coin. 1fthere
is superabundance of coin it will be
melted and manufactured.

A HEADLEss GHOST.

A BEADLESS GHOST.
Biddeford Journal.
Standing on what is called the Port
land road, just where the cascade road
leads into it, is two-story, implanted.
weather-beaten house, surrounded by
gnarled old trees, with large, prosperous
looking fields at the back. The house
has not been inhabited for years, and is
regarded by the superstitious with that
degree of attention commonly excited
by the supernatural.
The story is this:
Years ago, when the house was an
old-fashioned tavern, murder was
com mitted there, and to this day the
victim may be seen at the window on
certain days of the year, looking not un-
like any good human being, with an un-
important exception that il is headless.
Whoever sees this unpleasant appara-
ton is said to be followed by a specially
malignant fate.
Several years ago two Saco men start
ed for Portland with an OK team on
which was piled q load of wood to be
sold in the city. They reached the
haunted houee about o'clock in the
morning, and one of the men casually
glanced at it, but suddenly started and
said to his companion:
Did you see that?"
"Yes," was the reply, II saw head
less man at the window"
At this moment the oxen turned their
heads toward the house and then broke
into wild run, giving roar of fright.
It is said that oxen are the hardest ami
mails in the world to frighten.

WINTER WHEAT.

1t is not necessary to get the surface
of the soil fine and smooth for winter
wheat. The late George Geddes said:
HE would not let man roll his wheat
if he would do it for nothing" He liked
to see small clods on the surface, as they
protected the young plants. All are
agreed, however, that the soil under
meath must be fine enough and moist
enough to start the seed. Wheat likes q
firm soil. What we call "clayspots," if
drained and we'll plowed, and made
mellow enough underneath, produce the
best wheat in the field. But we need
careful blowing, and on such land it is
not easy to get along without roller.
In fact, we have to harrow and roll and
roll and harrow repeatedly, to get enough
fine earth to cover the seed. On such
land drill is almost indispensable. 1t
puts the seed down deep enough to reach
the moist soil, while if sown broadcast
much of the wheat would dry up among
the clods. Thirty-five or forty years ago,
when the Hessian fly injured our wheat,
it was not considered safe to SOW wheat
before the 10th of September, and from
that to the Goth or 25th of the month.
But in 1856 the nudge appeared. This
insect attacked, especially, the late crops
of wheat. We looked for earlier varie-
ties of wheat, and practiced earlier SOW
ing. Some farmers sowed as early as
the las: week in August, and very many
aimed to get in all their wheat by the
first week in September. For many
years the nudge has not troubled us, but
farmers still find it desirable to SOW
early. Occasionally q crop is injured
from too early sowing, but, taking one
year with another, experiences seem to
indicate that it is better to SOW on the
9Th of September than on the 18th, and
still more so than ON the 25th. If, as
some fear, the hessian fly is about to
visit us again, we shall be compelled to
SOW later. And, if 20, we shall have to
make our land rich. Probably those of
us who drill In superphosphate with our
wheat. will find it better to use . high
grade article, containing Q higher per-
centage of ammonia or available nitro
gen. We shall want something to give
the plants good start, and push them
rapidly upward. By this, We do not
mean to say that the plant can be push
ed out OF harms way from the hessian
fly, but the extra plant-food will, to q
considerable extent, make up the delay
in sowing; and in many seasons give Us
larger crops than we should have if We
had sown earlier without manure, or
with nothing but plain superphosphate.

The Scent of a Flower.


The scent Ofthe floweris a wonderful thing!
Its plays round the heart Ike the Eephyrs Of
spring;
So subtle, SO soft, SO reairtless its power,
No monarchy rules Ike the scent of flower.
Some odOrs so blend with past happier years
They move Us like melodies breathing through
tears,
For they bring back tho faces aud forms that
are cold,
And walks in the Wild woods mid sunsets of
gold
A fragrance exhales from flower that know,
Oear pledge of a love in the sweet long agoO
When tastes were more simple, aud purer our
pleasures,
And gifts of fresh blossoms were hollest treas
ures.
One eve, when the dow on the leaves glittered
He proaered the prize with tender GOOD
Nights"
Aud my spirit grew faint with ecstatic emotion,
For felt in that flower lay life-long devotion.
He. is gono-yet the scent of that delicate
flower
stin holds me with all the old passionate power;
And oft my sick heart would lie down in de-
spair
But that mercy divine melts ny sOorrOw in
prayer.
" Consider the lmies." Lord. grant us to be
By. the field and the gardens brought nearer to
Thee;
To read in sweet blossoms Thy goodness aud
power,
And an inanito love in the scent of flower.

The visitor pleaded and argued,

business. Finally he left and the
