Cost Of Har ' ssl inH Grain.

The average cost Of harvesting grain
is said to be less in California this year
than ever before. Tue combination
bar Vesting machines have greatly re-
duced expenses. and the wages OF labor
this season are comparatively low.
One farmer in the San Joaquin Valley
reports that the cost of harvesting his
crop this ear has been only four cents
a sack, whereas the cost Of threshing
alone under old methods was as high
as Il fifteen cents sack. A saving of a
few cents bushel in harvesting, with
wheat at low prices. may represent the
difference between profit and loss.

Lord Randolph said he cared not a
rap what the Daily News and the
Standard said about him. Such criti.
cism was as effective as water on a
ducks back. He emphatically denied
that the Conservatives wanted to tax
the food of the people. He claimed
for the Conservatives the passage OF
the Seats bill.
Lord Randolph taunted the Radicals
with having no policy, while the To
ries were carrying out great one, hav-
Ing for its object the siren gthening Of
the Empire at home and abroad. The
Conservatives hoped to give peace to
Ireland and security to India.

Queer dy


haps not very pleasant, to my young
readers to here a taliow candle and the
shin boLe of q reindeer called candy. And
yet these things may really be considered
as Esquimaux candy, because they would
delight the children of the cold In pre-.
cisely the way that a box of bonbons
would delight you. There is a certain
kind OF Waterfowl in arctic countries
known as the dOvelHe. 1t is about the
size of duck, is quite black, has a
prominent white stripe on It's wings, and
its webbed feet are of brilliant red.
When sitting In rows on the edge of
greenish rocks these little red feet are
very conspicuous. Sometimes, when
the men have killed numbsr of dove
kies, the Esquimaux women cut Off the
bright red feet, draw out the bones, aud,
blowing into the skins, distend them as
much as possible 30 as to form pouches.
When these pouches are thoroughly dried
they are filed with reindeer tallow, and
the bright red packages, which ! assure
you look much nicer than they taste, are
little Boreas's candy. In very cold
weather the Esqu!maux children eat
great quantities OF fat and blubber and
this fatty food, which seems 70 US 80 un-
inviting, helps to keep them warm and
well. The only other kind Of candy that
the Esquimaux children have is the mar-
row from the long leg or shin bone of the
slaughtered reindeer. OF this also they
are very fond. Whenever reindeer is
killed and the meat has been stripped
from the bones of the legs these bones
are placed on the fo,r OF the igloo and
cracked With a hatchet until the marrow
is exposed. The bones are then forced
apart with the hands and the marrow is
dug out OF the ends with long, sharp,
and narrow spoon made from walrus's
tusk. i have eaten this reindeer marrow
frozen and cooked, and after one becomes
accustomed to eating frozen meat raw it
Is really an acceptable tidbit while
cooked and nicely served 1t would be
delicacy anywhere.

James has thrown liitie too much actual life into the work. it is not right in novelist to forget the old tricks oI the trade. He should have . pious aunt, silly girl and rAkish yonng man.

 It may grieve the New York Tyibune and other "spoil- system newspapers" but the south is reioiced in consequence of the improvement which has enabled General Grant to leave his room. A southern city. Louisville, was the first to suggest the propriety of celebrating the great mans birthday. When the old hero came to Arkansaw, several years age, he was received with a welcome which caused him to make the following remarks T am deeply grati6ed to see that the people of Arkansaw have forgot ten every stain of bitterness. All along the railway the people came out to see me and to tell me that they were factors of this great union; and, my fellow-citi- zens, it matters not how arden,ly mis- guided men at one time attempted to dis rupt this country, can truly declare that today we are united people. His tory fails to furnish a parallel. A few ySAkS o6O, kAA A oh90W W WaS O nOt DCA VI SG- cession to. day her voice is loudly raised in the support of the eternal union of the states. Can such people fail to find in each other much that is admirable ? Can not we take each other by the hand and say, We are brothers P" The south honors the memory of General Grant, and his recovery would cause universal rejoicing
 Modern experience proves the verisi militude of fancient fable. Pentheus, it is related, SO earnestly desired to pry into the mysteries of Bacchus' sacrifice that he climbed tree. Instantly he was struck with phrensy, an afliction which caused him to see things double. To place the stern heel of modern analysis upon this fable, would, it seems, render 1t iaagha6iy absurd, but actual in-ese;sa ton shows that the "fAbalist " has ob. served close relation to actual life. Many man. hanging around Bacchus, has been afflicted with double vision. There are times when the Bacchus hanger-around has to put his paw over one eye in order to determine which street car he should take. He sees dou- ble. When he goes home, two women open the door for him. He hears but one voice, but the movement of many lips, proves that more than one mouth speaketh. The young man should not attempt to pry into the affair. of Bac- chus, for double vision shall surely await him. Of all the gods who occupied prominent places in the hot house of my. tholegy, Bacchus is the most truthful He says: "Gentlenen, if you fool with me you shall see double" Who can dis pute him? No man can say: B1cchus, thou iiest."
