THE OLD WORLD HUNGRY.
The Great Deficiency in Her Wheat
Crop This Year.

New YORK, August 30.-The Times
has long cable, which estimates'that the
old world needs 100000 to so 900 06O
bushels of wheat more than the harvests
of the year will produce. To put it in
another way, the countries which al
ways have to buy wheat must this year
buy 10000, 900 bushels, while the coun-
tries raising more than they consume,
will have about 100000 bushels 10
sell. The storms of the past week have
greatly damaged the wheat in
England and the great wheat
producing country of France, which
was thought week ago would import
68 600 600 bushels. will now have, it is
estimated, to import 100000 to 95.-
600 900 bushels. Algiers cannot supply
much on account of grasshoppers. The
best estimates put the surplus of the
United States and Canada at 103 ,000,-
coo; Russia. 80 600, 900; India, 35 ,000,-
600; but al sorts of stories are coming
from Russia, letterly unfavorable. In
London, bread has gone uD penny per
loaf. The potatoe crop of England and
Ireland is partial failure. The great
est distress is believed to be certain.
The Times, summarizing the reports
from all parts of the United States,
says there is enough wheat for home
consumption, but not great deal to
spare.

the proposed amendment next time we
get in the whirl of American
politics, every vital interest of ours will
be sacrificed to win the votes of few
wards in the City of New York. The
Presidents message is an interruption
that puts fatal mark across United
States reciprocity, and leads the people
OF Ontario to believe after all, with all
the cries of Iuinous national policy,
the policy of the development of
this country. of making it a
united country from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, the policy which enables
Canada to say: 1--WE can live without
American railways and steamship
lines; we can live in comparative COM
fort if the United States will not deal
with US or trade with US at ail."-all
this is much better policy for this
country than to hand over Its destines
to the people to sacrifice them and their
political interests.

A Mysterious nisease

CALDWELL, O., August 3o.-A month
ago mysterious disease appeared. II
had some of the characteristics Of ty-
phoid fever and some of malaria.
Whole families were attacked, and in
the course of fortnight every family
in the town was affected. The death
rate became alarming. Many families
left town and business is almost para
lyzed. Funeral professions are almost
constantly in the streets. The physi-
clans are nearly worn out, and medi-
cine seems to do no good. The disease
does not appear to be infectious except
to residents nere, for outsiders are not
afflicted. 1t is believed the disease
germs are in the water. The town has
no system of drainage. The NUMBER
of deaths are now twenty-five in pop.
ulation of 1880.

secured 10y gold and silver chains. The
upper parts were frequently cut TO imi-

called 'Crackows, after the city Of Graz

land in the reign Of Richard II by John,
the grandfather Of his queen. Several
bulls were issuei againFt these cxtrava-
gances, but long toed shoes held their
own for nearly 500 years.
The English parliament at one time
regulated by act not only the quality Of
the leather, but the number of stitches
to be taken in making every shoe. In
1403 parliament prohibited the making
of any shoes "for the unpIiyilegcd

The Meaning of America.

Tho meaning of the name Amcrigo has
often been discussed, the only thing GER
tain being that it is one of those names of
Teutonic origin, like llUmbcrto, Alfonzo,
Grimaldi, or Garibaldi so common in
northern Italy, which testify TO the Gothic
or Lombard conquest. Amcric, which
occurs as carly as IA 4. d., is probably
contracted form of the name Amalarir.

Nothing, in my judgment, surpassos
the study Of shorthand for mental train
ing. 1t is, in its very essence, an ac-
quirement that lies far outside of the
mental limits attainablc by idiocy, and
the application Of its principles calls for
the constant exercise of greater and
stcadier power of concentration than tho
technicalities of any other known accom-
plishment. The fastest writer is habitu-
ally, on the average, fom six To dozen

Prevention OF Evaporation.

A Colorado farmer recommends .
somewhat novel method of preventing
the loss OF water by evaporation from
open tanks or ponds, II consists in Civ
ing the surface of the water n thin coat
ing Of oil, and was successfully adopted
by him during the unusual drought Of
last summer. lie demonstrates the cor
rectness Of his theory by filing two ves-
sells of equal size with the same depth Of
water and pouring few drops of oil on
the water Of one. In due course the
water IL the other vessel will entirely
evaporate, while the one that was oiled
shows no loss.--Chicago Times.
