OUR Low WHEAT AVERAGE.

suggested Reason Why Old England Excels.
1t is Il continual puzzle 10 very many,
why with our superiority in implements,
and full equality of skill, with almost
virgin soil, we only get an average of II
bushels OF wheat per acre, while the
average III England is nearly or quite,
twice as much on soil that has been titled
for centuried. We have no doubt that a
larger proportion of farmers, who living
easily on their own land, become wasteful
and negligent. But even our best far
Ters scarcely reach the English average,
unless in the northwest, and the reason
doubtless ia thattho mild English climate
allows the cereals 10 grow more or less in
every month of the year, and always
gives them season more than twice a.
long as onr climaee permite. There the
growth Of these plants-lovers of cool
nass ana moisture-begins il February
and continues until August. Here our
soil is usually frost bound until April,

It is rule of nature. We find among

Some Weigh Thirty Pounds and are Worn
Around the Neck.
Lieut. Won Francois, the American ex-
plorer, has recently described a strange
custom among the Bayanzi, who live FOR
many miles along the Upper Congo. The
custom @ould seem to make life n good
deal of q burden to their married women.
Brass rods, which are the fayorite cur-
roncy in the country, are welded into
great rings around the necks OF the
wives. Many of these rings worn by the
women whose husbands are well so do,
weigh as much rs thirty pounds, and this
burden must be carried around by the
poor women as long ~ they live.
Frequently" says Lieut., Won Francois,
zone sees poor woman whose neck is
raw and sore under the heavy weight, and
in places the skin is rubbed off by the
ring. This is sure sign that the ring
has been recently Welded around her
neck, for after q time the skin becomes

calloused, and then the strange ornament
produces no abrasion. But the weight
is an Inconvenience; they never get used
to it, and 1t is perpetual task upon their
energies. In every crowd of women may
be seen uamber who are supporting the
ring with their hands, and thus for time
relieving their weary shoulders of the
heavy burden. II may be said that with
every movement Of their bodies the rings
give them discomfort.
"A ring is never put around woman's
neck until she is believed to have attained
her full physical development. Once on,
it is no easy matter To get it off. The
natives have no such thing as file, and,
though they can hammer lot OF brass
rods into one, il is very difficult for them
to cut the thick mass of metal in two.
Woman who increase largely in hesh
after the rings nave been fastened on
their necks are in danger of strangling
to death, and instances OF this sort have
been known to occur.
"Yet these woman regard the cumbrods
ornament with pride, imagine that it in
hances their importance and beauty, and
wear the burden with light hearts. Brass
is the money of the country, and by put
ting ii around their wives necks the men
are pretty certain that it won't be stolen
or foolishly expended. But it is an odd
and cruel sort of savings bank"
