The astounding shortage in Russia's yield of rye, announced month since by the ministry of finance, proves even greater than the most extravagant esti- mates and effectually obliterates all pos sibility of Russia exporting any of her scant wheat crop. That eastern Ger many is in practically the same plight admits of no doubt. Accepting the larg
 est estimates of production, both at home and abroad and even assuming that the United States and Canada can export 225, 100000 bushels, the American Agri- culturist still finds deficit in the worlds food supply of at least 200,O00,O00 bush els of wheat and rye, with a possibility of the shortage being twice as great. Added to this is the almost total failure of the potato crop in Ireland and seri- ous curtailment in the yield of potatoes on the continent. Even with the utmost economy of distribution and an unheard of consumption of American maize, grave distress is before the masses of Europe.

TASHUA.

Frightened by the breaking of part of the harness while descending the steep hill west of the house, horse driven by Mrs Samuel Seeley became unman- ageable and ran, last week Wednesday. The carriage was occupied by Mrs Seeley, her daughter-in-law, Mrs Charles Seeley and the latter's infant daughter. Fear ing injury to all and hoping to save at least the life of the child, Mrs Charles Seeley sprang from the vehicle just in time to escape huge pile of stones. She struck the ground with great force and was so seriously hurt that she tainted. The carriage was overturned a moment later and Mrs Samuel Seeley was thrown out, but not, apparently, greatly injured. As all the other mem bers of the Seeley family were at the Huntington fair, it was useless to seek aid there and Mrs Samuel Seeley walked nearly a mile to Christopher Marshs. There assistance was procured, Mrs Charles Seeley remov- cd to the home of her mother-in-Iaw and Dr Hill summoned. He found that she had received severe fracture of the limb and was jared and bruised by the fall. She was taken to her own home, that night. Mrs Samuel Seeley had her collar bone broken, but the baby fortu- nately escaped unscathed. The many friends of Mesdames Seeley wish them speedy recovery.

The Bee Buzz.

Among sthe seasonable topics which should interest all the people are "fian- nels" and ''fires.'' The health and hap piness of the family often depend upon some little point of wisdom which hangs upon the nick of time. The day of sum- light is shortened; the nights and morn ings are chilly; the evenings of lamp light are heightened so that our habits of life are materially changed from Sum- mer to Autumn and we must adjust our clothing and our homes to harmonize with the temper of the winds and storms and even the sunshine. People get cold and are sick and miserable just because they neglect the first gentle and kindly warnings of mother Nature. In the heat of July and August, we are only too glad to feel cool; but hot day in Sep- tember is not like the heat of Summer and the cool evening that follows brings with it damps and chills and the fuel of fevers. People go by their feelings too much both in matters af health and man. ners and morals. Wait until you are chilly before you light a fire or don a flannel and you run the risk of taking cold. Better have a good thermometer in the house and go by that. Mercury below 65, build fire or put on wraps TO. O. Wright.
 One of the most important ends to be attained in schools ought to be the dis covery of the natural gifts of the pupils. Education should not only serve to de- velop the capacities and train the facul- ties, but should also lead both parents and pupil to understand what special combinations of powers each one may possess and for what particular trade, profession or calling the boy or girl may be naturally best fitted. The highest art in teaching will recognize the diversity of gifts in a class and will have respect for the peculiar individuality of each member of the school. The boy who k dull in his arithmetic may have his strong point in the study of language and so on. The boy who is dull in any study needs, to be sure, to pay all the more attention to that, in his genera schooling, but he ought not to be beratec and discouraged on account of that whicf he lacks; but, rather, should he be rated at his best and taught to understand him self in all points. In order to do this, ,the teacher must not only have a knowledge of the branches taught, but above all the wisdom of experience in life.-[O. o Wright.

THE SECULAR PULPIT.
The Sermon

It is well, beloved, sometimes to listen to what the great men of the world have to say and so, to-day, I give you this ser mon from the Independent. The text is, "Blessed be taffy!'' It is wanted every day and from everybody. It is the uni life. Husband, have you come home and do you find your wife tired and hot with the days work in chamber and kitchen Give her little taffy. Say sweet thing to her. Praise her for something. Tell her how nice the bread is, so much better than the bakers; that the ketchup is the best she ever made; that the house look ed so sweet aud restful when you came in; that she has the dearest children that ever lived and at your leisure, before she goes to bed tell her she is your own hearts treasure. It will do her good; it will make the smiles come. She may box your ears when you say sweet, betting things and tell you you are talking as you would to the cat; but she will like it just the same.
 Wife, does your good man come home weary and burdened, exhausted and-no not cross, but undemonstrative and silent: Go up to him with a sweet welcome. Say something pretty to him. Men all love to be appreciated and flattered. Give him the sugar stick. Tell him some pretty thing somebody said about him. Tell him how much you admire what he has done and, when you can sit down alone witI him, take his hand and pet him and tel him you love him more than tongue cal tell; don't be afraid of oyerdoing it anC using comical little congregations. Ht may know and you may know that there is taffy in it; but it is very nice taffy. We all like it; we all like to be told we art loved and the saying it makes it all tho truer. It is great deal better to culti vate ones love with warm expressions than to blight it with frost. Pretty noth ings? Why, they are big realities, the stuff happiness feeds on. Give us more tatfy.

We see dimly in the Present what Is small and

 make compromise with sin.''

Gold Tried in the Fire.

Trials are Gods crucible in which to burn out our dross.
 We mount to Heaven by reaching God ward in faith and manward in help.

 It will avail us nothing to know, if we live not according to our knowledge.
 'Tis mercy to have that taken from us which takes us from God.- [Venning.
 That which we are we shall teach, not voluntarily, but involuntarily.
 Is not this the trouble with many of us, that we are more anxious for God to hear our calls for help, than willing to attend to His calls to duty?
 Men should influence one another in their business and their homes, in the in- tercourse of chance acquaintance and the close ties of friendship. This it is that keeps them from growing narrow and bigoted in their own opinions and draws them together in love, in friend ship, in common patriotism and hu- man brotherhood. But this constant in- fiuence needs to be balanced by firm individuality, a manly self respect and a steady adherence to the principles that appeal to each one's sense of right. Therefore, unless there are times when the man retires voluntarily from all hu- man sight, where no public or private pressure can sway him and where his own thoughts, his own feelings, his own conscience may assert themselves, unrebuked and unassisted, he can never preserve that personality which is or should be the core of his being.
 The Christian who is continually do- ing great things for his God is the one who is faithful in little things.-E Rams Horn.

 The fate of the country, said Thoreau, does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot box once q year, but on what kind of man you drop from your chamber into the street every morn- ing.
 When man is faithful and true in small things, depend upon it that he will be faithful and true in great things.
