TIE WHEAT SUPPLY.

One of the philosophers of the day
casts his eye forward fifty years and
sees 10000, 900 of hungry mouths to be
filled in the present limits of the United
States, and the anxious thought comes
to him as to how they are to be fed.
He finds that the wheat-producing re-
giOn has been moving westward, past
the Genesee valley, the Western re-
serve, the Wabash valley, and is but

prairies of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri.
Wisconsin and much of Minnesota and
South Dakota are to follow. Where
are the 900. 900, 600 bushels to come from
is the great conundrum that OPP
presses this pessimist. This is very
superficial view, and will strike the
producer who is selling his farm growth
at the meageI prices of the present as
extremely absurd. 1t is no extrava-
gance to say that this Western country
could feed more than l50,00O,0O0 people
now if there were the demand. The ag-
ricultural resources of the West are
almost without limit, and then there
is 500 miles more of the wheat country
north of the boundary.

THE general convention of tramps,
held IN one of the Pennsylvania cities
the other day, probably was not ban
quoted and feted by the citizens like a
cOnvocatiOn of bankers or capitalists,
but the tramps seem to show as much
energy and spirit in running conven-
ton as the average of people. They re-
solved in good shape and pledged them
selves to stand together for mutual pro-
lection, but Indignantly tabled the reso-
luton of the mugwumps of the profess
sion who proposed to attach some
blame to the tourists themselves. The
dominant feeling was that the world
owed them living, and there ought to
be less laboriOus methods of collecting

more caution in handling the subtle
executioDer. We have reached that stage,
in civilization that can not very we'll
dispense with electricity, and yet it Isl
every day becoming more and more of d
problem to know what to do with it in
order to reduce the danger to the mini
mum. just as we have made up our
minds to abate the overhead wire nui-
sance, the electricians come forward to
tell us that there is more danger from
electricity under the ground than in the
air. What are we to do about it? Can't
some one find the happy medium where
we will be safe from both the overhead
and the underground wires? Still, we
must have our telegraphs, our tele-
phones, our electric motors, our electric
lights, our illuminated clocks, and all
the electrical machinery and contri-
vances of the day. even at the risk of
destroying cities and sacrificing human
lives.

Casting Lots The senators from
the new states are now
for Sena- ON the ragged edge
concerning the long
tOrial Terms. and short terms. n
the absence of law or
parliamentary proceedings covering this
point it has been usual to allow the SEN
ators to cast lots for the respective
terms. There is an old story ahOat in
Washington of two senators from new
state who decided the senatorial terms
by wager as to which could drink the
most wine at dinner party. The SEN
ator who was first laid on the table. or
under it, was to get the short term. In
another case the two new senators drew
straws. the one getting the longest straw
taking the longest term. In two in
stances they are known to have tossed
half-dollars, the heads winner, the tails
loser. But the usual practice is
to throw dice-just as the boys
sometimes do for the drinks.
This is regarded as the most dignifed
method, and consequently better
adapted to senatorial customs. A more
recent innovation requires the allotment
to be done under the supervision of the
clerk of the senate and in the presence
of that dignified body. Another rule is
to defer the allotment of terms to late
period in the session, in order to put
more important business out of the way.
and at the same time keep the new SEN
ators in good humor during the busy
part of the session. 1t was several
months after taking their seats before
Minnesota's senators knew who was to
get the long term. Senator RICE was
indifferent about it, while Senator;
SHIELDS evinced great deal of anxi7
ETY. to have it. But the prize is not al
ways for the eager, and so it was in
this instance. e

A PRETTY
The Runaway First Marriage of
Jefferson Davis.

The first marriage of Jefferson
Davis was of a somewhat romantic
character. After being graduated at
West Point he was ordered tc Fort
Crawford at Prairie du Chen,
Wis, the post then commanded by
Col. Zachery Taylor. The daughter
of the latter, Miss Sallle Knox
Taylor, at once fell desperately in
love with the handsome and intel
lectual young lieutenant, and the
affection was reciprocated, but the
old Colonel was averse to any
matchmaking under the circum-
stances and peremptorly forbade
Davis from visiting his quarters
except IN ar otfici. capacity The
lovers managed to see each other
by stratagem, however, and one
morning at daylight they were
missing. The household was in
stantly aroused, the servants inter-
rogated and a search made, but
nothing was ELECTED save that the
door of the stable was open, four
horses were gone, and their tracks
indicated a hasty departure. Fur
Their examination of the premises
showed that Lieut.. George Wilson,
brother of Thomas S. Wilson, of
Dubuque, Ia, and Miss Street,
daughter of Gen. Street, had like.
wise suddenly disappeared. There
was but II conclusion, and in less
than an hour every man, woman
and child in the village knew all
about the runaway match.
Col. Taylor was enraged and
declared with an oath as strong as
he ever used, that under no cir
cumstances would he forgive Davis
or become reconciled to his daugh-
ter's disobedience. Sixteen years
passed. "Old Zach" was in COM
mand of the United States Army in
Mexico, and serving under him
was Col. Jefferson Davis at the head
of the famous First Mississippi Ri
nes. At the battle OF Buena Wis
ia this regiment covered itself with
glory, but Davis, while leading one
of It's charges at a critical moment,
fell severely and, it was supposed,
mortally wounded He was borne
from the field and that evening
Gen. Taylor, mounted On Old
Whitney, paid him a visit. Dis
mounting, he stepped to the Colo
nel's cot and extended his hand.
jeff" he said, ''you have saved
the day with your glorious rifles;
now let bygones be bygones; Knox
(the name by which he always
called his daughter) knew your
worth and mettle better than l
did"
From hat moment, through the
war, and indeed until the death of
President Taylor, the warmest
friendship existed between the old
companions in arms.

SANITARY PRECAUTIONS,
How England Reduced Her Annual Death
Rate to u Minimum.

How England Reduced Her Annual Death
Rate to IL Minimum.
When cholera was raging in Europe two
or three years ago, much feeling was
aroused against England because it re-
fused to establish a quarantine against
infected ports. This feeling was shared by
many persons in this country, in view of the
perils involved through our intimate COM
mercial and social relations with Great
Britain, whose course was attributed to q
selfish regard for its extensive commerce.
Blu its position was that the ordinary quar-
antine restrictions not only were unneces-
sary, where National sanitation was properly
attended to, but tended to give a people a
feeling of security that was not justified,
and led to neglect of the real source of dam
ger.
At the International Sanitary Conference,
held in Rome, the delegates from England
pointed to the fact that cholera had not eff
fected any Judgement in that country, al
though there had been constant and free
communication between it and the'cholera-
infected ports of India. British sanitarians
fully believe that neither cholera nor yell
low fever can prevail in the absence Of
filth, and with the proper isolation Of in
diyiduai eases as they occur. Enormous

and local, every year for sanitary purposes,
and during the past ten years the people Of
England and Wales have, of their OWE &C
cord and apart from Governmental taxation,
expended very much more.
The benefit to the Nation is not confined
to exemption from these foreign pests, and
to o general sense Of safety during the
terror and financial disturbance elsewhere.
There has been q perceptible improvement
in the general health of the Nation. Thus
the mortality from typhoid fever, which,
beween 1865 and 1859 was at the rate Of
nine hundred and thirty-four to each mill
ion inhabitants, was reduced during 1880
50 to four hundred and twenty-eight, and is
now only three hundred and sevep-a re-
duction Of tvo-thirdsl Further, the annual
death-rate for England and Wales since
1870 has been reduced from twenty-five to
nineteen per thousand. Such u rebellion in
the United States would a one hundred
and eighty thousand lives a year!
Besides these general sanitary efforts, q
special medical survey OF exposed districts is
organized, in periods of emergency, under
the supervision of the medical officer of the
local board. But due precautions are not
neglected at the ports of eutry. The saIps
are inspected; the actual sick are removed
to the port sanitary hospital, and suspected
cases are detained not over two days. The
uames Of the other passengers and their
places of destination are taken down, and
the health boards of the respective towns
are notified Of their arrival.
Owing to the division OF powers between
the general Government and the States,
this country can not deal with sanitary mat
ters quite so effectively as England does.
