A gentleman, speaking Of Wander

it accumulated, said recently: 81 can
appreciate it from a study of the
wheat problem. / was up in Dakota
last Summer. | saw there a single
grain of wheat from which 158
stalks had sprouted. | saw another
with 1872 stalks. The first one that
| saw had IS, and that number was
quite ordinary. But what most
struck my attention were the figures
of a friend, James Hole, of Fargo,
which represented the five years
growth of a single grain of wheat.
It was of the Scotch-Fife variety.
It grew the first year % stalks,
each having full heads. These
yielded $50 grains, of which he
planted 720. They produced one
fifth of a bushel of fine wheat on
being planted in 1882. The first
planting Of the single grain was in
1881. The fifth Of a bushel was
sown in 1883, and yielded II bushels,
or 1920 pounds. It was planted in
1884 on II acres Of land, and gave
a yield of 20 bushels to the acre.
In 1885 he sowed 100 bushels of it,
and produced $500 bushels. At a
bushel of seed per acre, and an
average yield Of 20 bushels per
acre, in another five years that sim
gle seed would have produced an
aggregate crop equalling the entire
wheat crop product of the entire
world for a year. That is the way
Vanderbilt money grew.-Farmer's

A single human hair indicates
whether the air supplied in the ven
tilation at the Capitol at Washing
ton is too moist or too dry. A per-
fectly dry air is put at zero. Sat
urated air, that is, air carrying all
the moisture it will hold, is put at
100. The human hair absorbs mois-
ture, and, like a rope, becomes short
er when wet. The difference in
length between a hair six inches
long when wet and the same hair
when dry is made to represent the
one hundred degrees of moisture on
the dial; and the hand or pointer
moves backward or forward as the
moisture in the hair varies. If it
becomes too dry, more steam is
thrown in; if too moist, less steam
is allowed to escape. And thus the
atmosphere is regulated at a whole
some point.

Obey i'm the Marriage Ceremony
and What 1t Means.

The word was introduced into the
ceremony by men to express and EN-.
phasize the view of men that the man
is the head OF the woman. Indeed,
the interested inquirer will find that
most of the traditional theories ofthe
relations of the sexes which are often
quoted as indisputable and conclusive
arguments represent merely the views
OF men. The laws which regulate these
relationship laws of divorce, of the
rights and control of property, of the
disposition and care of children-are
the work OF men, and simply express
their will. More than a quarter OF a
century ago Mr.. Gladstone said the
divorce laws in England were shame
to civilization and humanity.
The ladies, therefore, who suppose
that these laws and traditions and
ceremonial VOWS rest upon divine
sanction, and who are consequently
solicitcus to wear the yoke of unques-
tioning subjugation, not ofchoice, but
as a religious duty, need bend no long
er for that reason. II they prefer to
obey, indeed, they are not restrained
by any religious obligation, norifthey
prefer to command. "But, imterpos-
es at this point the youthful casuist
OF the other sex, surely exigencies OF
difference arise when there must be q
decisive will, and that, of course, that
will must be the mans" Yes, so
men have generally said, and their
views have generally prevailed. But
the general prevalence of ignorance
was not sound argument against

Books for painting with colored cray

when tired of play, the children were
