British Grain Trade.

LONDON, September 2O.-The Mark Lane
Express, in its review of the BRUSH
grain trade, says: The bright weather
OF the past week has been of immense
service to the late crops Trade is
without features. Small deliveries
nave Kept prices unaltered. Sales of
English wheat during the past week
were $3.50 quarters at 3Is 3D., against
~ IA quarters at 30S lOd during the
corresponding week last wear. Flour
was dull, and prices favor buyers. The
market was depressed by large arrivals
OF low priced foreign stuff. Barley is
arriving slowly; sellers are asking an
advance OF 5s per quarter, Fore On
wheatS are depressed. Corn is some
what cheaper, but the scarcity OF Am ri.
can fiat mixed has helped TO sustain
values on the spO'. Three wheat car
goes were sold, and six were withdrawn
There were no arrivals. The off coss
market is bare. Trade forward Is
weaker. At tO-day's market wheat
was steady and the market slow. Con-
tinUed fine weather prevents activity.
Flour was very quiet. The prices of
SOUND corn were in The buyers favor
American mixed was very scarce. Oats
were in large supply and trade was
dragging.

ting Too Big For 1t.
Our world is growing old and grow
ing cold, and as it wakes older and
colder it shrinks and shrinks, and
shakes and quivers, so that its coat IS
perpetually getting a little too big for
it, and has to be taken in at the seams
from time to time. The taking in is
done by the simple and primitive meth
cd of making bullying tuck. The
Alps are situated just above a seam, and
are themselves one of the huge bullying
tucks in question.
According to Prof. Helm, the folding
of the crust has been so enormous
that points originally far apart have
been brought seventy-fo ur miles nearer
one another than they were at the be-
ginning of the movement OF pressure.
In fact, Switzerland must have been
originally quite a large country, with
some natural pretentions to be regarded
in the light of trst-ratc European
power; but its outside has been folded
over and over so often that there IS
now very little of it left upon the sur

Prof. Judd has we'll shown how great
is the amount of wear and tear to which
mountains are thus subjected, and how
enormous is the loss of material they
undergo in the case of the extinct vol

very remote Miocene period to height

THE KOHL-RABi.
Vegetable Which rs Fast Becoming
Popular in This Country.


Popular in This Country.
The kohl-rabi, or turnip-rooted cab
bage may be popularity described as a
vegetable somewhat intermediate be-
tween the turnip and cabbage. At first
sight the leaves bear a considerable re-
semblance to the latter vegetable, but
on closer inspection we find that the
stem just above the ground swells into
bulb, resembling turnip in size and
shape, from which circumstance the
popular name of turnip-rooted cabbage
has been derived 1t is vegetable that
is higa1ly priced in Europe, and as 1T Is
fast becoming popular in this country
a few remarks on its cultivation may
not be out of place. In order to obtain
tender and succulent bulbs it is essen-
tial that the plants should be grown
quickly, on rich, deep soil, Tor
grown slowly and on poor soil the bulbs
will be tough and inferior in quality; SO.
to insure, if possible, successful crop
the ground should be properly and thor
oughly prepared by giving it a good
dressing of well-rotted stable manure and
working it in thoroughly with either the
plow or fork. Every care should be-,
taken to incorporate the manure with
the soil as deeply as possible, when the
seed can be sown in drills about two or
three feet apart. Sow thinly, and as
soon as the young plants are strong
enough to handle thin them out to about
six inches apart. Keep the plants well
cultivated at all times; hoe frequently,
taking care to leave the chief part OF the
stem uncovered, and as soon as the
bulbs are from three to five inches IN
diameter they are ready for use. a
sowing should be made about the LIST OF
May, and again early in June and July,
in order to obtain a succession OF tender
roots.-Cor Tsek's Magazine.

SETTING TYPE.

Hark to the click
Of the types in the stick!
They fall and they meet with monotonous
As swiftly the fingers that seize them 80
round
To hurry them into the stick
With click, click.
There they are in the stick!
What do the types tell the world as trey
Here it is satire; there eloauence grand.
Weak as nothing. when SINGLE combined they
command.
A wonder-power in their click,
AS in order they march into the stick.
Look again in the stick
TO the workers of evil they sorrow betde;
THE cheat and oppressor in vain try to glide
Away from the click but the earth can not
hide
Them away from the click, click,
Of the types falling into the stick.
AS they click. click, in the stick,
Monarchs and tyrants their marshaling dread;
They know that to freedom the types have
been wed,
And the visions they see are in color blood
And they shake at the sound of the click.
Hank, the noise from the stick!
Guilt flies from the sound in a tremor of fear;
But guilt can not hide in the day or the night,
Though it try every method OF hiding or
From the sound of that terrible click.
Forever that click, click!
In the gas that makes the day'shine, or In the
suns light
That stick is forever increasing its might,
And seeming to say Here we stand for the
right.
Oppressors, beware of the stick!
Those gray-colored types in the stick!
States, monarchies, potentates, Pashas and
Kings,
The painter, the PLAYER, the poet who sings,
Stand in awe Of these poor, little, dull, leaden
things
And the ominous noise of the click.
But these types in the stick,

To the whole of mankind where the virtues
abound
Most welcome to such is the musical sound

And they had good neighbors. which
added much to the pleasantness OF their
surroundings, for though never content
to be separate from each other, even
for day, our young friends enjoyed
having their acquaintance drop in on
them, and often visited among their
neighbors, spending the evening or
Sunday afternoon.
They heard regularly from Lucy's
parents, and quite frequently from Jen-
ME and her husband, who were still IN
Chicago and doing well. At least En-
sign had steady employment, and they
were comfortable and happy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons had now fully
decided to sell their home on the mount
ain at the first opportunity, and move
10 the Slough; their out-of-the-way To-
cation alone operating against the ready
sale of the place. ;,
Meantime Erastus and Lucy worked
on.
The size of orchard and vineyard was
increased by the planting of other trees
and vines Rose bushes were set out at
the corners of the porch and beneath
the windows, and evergreens and
towering shrubs in the front yard.

land was absolutely valueless, thought
not to be worth paying taxes on, until
we irrigated it and built houses and put
out orchards and vineyards.
"Besides, the land grant by Congress

between MFR. and Mrs. Parsons and the
gentleman of whom Mrs. Parsons had
written.
They were to receive two thousand
dollars cash down and to give immedi-
ate possession; and on the morning but
one following that on which Lucy sec
ond letter was mailed, John Parsons
started to town with the deed made out
and signed By his wife.
He was to meet the purchaser at the
courthouse in Phippsburg. deliver the
deed and receive the money, provided
the title was found to be clear, of which
there was no doubt in the minds OF
either party; the abstract, which Blake
gave to Parsons when he bought the
property, having been shown as proof
of that fact when negotiations for the
purchase and sale were first begun.
The sky looked cloudy and threaten.

do to fail of being at the appointed
place on time, and he kissed his Grip

spirits, promising to be back by dark.
On reaching town he put out ms
horse, saw that he was properly fed,
and then started for the courthouse.
On his way there he had to pass the
post-office, and, stopping to inquire IL
there was any mail for him, was handed
Lucy's letter to her mother.
He recognized the postmark and
