CAT TAILS.

Clear. dark and cool a shallow pool
Lies underneath the summer sky,
Low ripping in the sedgy grass
As hayward winds go tripping by,
While bladed Flags bend low to greet
The blue-veined Lilies resting there,
And high above their dropping heads
The Cat-tails drink the summer air.
Across the pool, with himY wings.
The devils darning needles" fly;
And deep among the shady Flags
The cr0aking frogs securely lie;
A Ted-winged black birds liquid notes
Sound clear and sweet, ''co-chee eo-ehee! =

that Mr. BoOkwalter's figures need revising According
TO the British Board OF Trade returns the exports OF
wheat from all British India, including those FROM kur
Tachee, Calcutta and Bombay together have never
exceeded In any one crop year-whch In India Is from
April TO March 3l-3S.74 DOL This was in S53-'s4
ard The total the corresponding period Of SS4s5 was

10000 900 bushels about onehalf as much as from
our Atlantic ports.
{" South Australian wheat crop Is now estimated 10

and Lrobabs short surplus OF 100000 to 100000
