THE wORLD's WHEAT PRODUCE.

Mr.. c. Wood Davis, a recognized author
ity, contributes an article from the current
number of The arena. in which he makes
the prediction that within five years the
United States will cease to export wheat
and that shortly after it will become buyer
rather than seller in the markets Of the
world. Our annual consumption is aug
mented by more than 100000 bushels,
while the wheat-grewing area is no larger
in 1890 than it was in 1880. The present ex-
cess one year with another is 10000, 900
bushels. As it would take more than eight
years for the home demand to overtake the
supply in the regular annual increase In the
demand Mr.. Davis must anticipate a re-
duced yield per acre in consequence of the
exhaustion of tho wheat fields. Turning to
Europe Mr.. Davis finds an annual deficit of
200,00O,000 bushels, with a prospect OF
greater deficiency in the future. Population
has in the last twenty years increased by 20
per cent, while the productive power of the
European wheat helds has increased but2Der
cent. To supply the present annual deficit
of 100000, 900 bushels Europe imports 70, 00O,-
600 bushels from the United States and Can
ada, 10000, 600 from India and 80 000, 600 from
South America, Australia and other c6un-
tries. The supply, therefore, is 10000, coo
bushels less than the apparent need. Where
is Europe to get this rocco, coo bushels2 Mr..
Davis does not think the Indian product viii
be largely increased, but looks for larger
supplies from Chile, the Argentine Republic
and Canada. But he does not think all the
countries named will be able to sent to Eu-
rope in 1894 more than from 10000 900 to
20,O0O,00O bushels in excess of present ex-
ports. Possibly Mr. Davis has not given
sufficient consideration TO the greater
productive capacity of the American wheat
fields under improved methods of cultiva-
ton. With the rise in price which seems al
most inevitable wheat-growers will find a
profit in the use of fertilizers. The Ameri-
can wheat crop is hardly One-half of the En-
glish crop per acre.

THE AMEKI CAN IN FLORENCE.

Recent news from Florence corrects the
report that an American gentleman residing
in Florence. Italy, had been assaulted by
the populace. 1t now appears that the as
sault was accidental-that stone which
hit him was intended for other parties. 1t
is extremely improbable that the pODulace
of Florence should commit any act that
would prevent American tourists from so
journing in that city. 1t is well known that
a considerable proportion of the population
of these famous Italian cities make their
living out Of foreigners, and there are none
more liberal than Americans The story of
the assault was kindred to that which, in
the beginning Of the present Inisunderstand-
ing, represented the Italian Government as
holding American tourists as hostages

of the temperate zone thrive excellently. 1t
is not to the credit of England that the de-
yelopment of so fine country should be re-
tarded by boundary dispute that might
long ago have been settled by arbitration.
If the Secretary of State should see his
way to intervene on behalf of Venezuela
and restrict the miserable province of Brit
ish Guiana within its proper boundaries,
people would say that, after all, the Pam
American Congress had proved effective,
and Spanish Americans would learn who
are their real friends.

HIS OWN SURGEON.
A HAN, Desperate From Suffering, Ampu
fafes His Own Feet.


tates His Own Feet.
Joseph Colour, while hunting in Lab
rogue, near Boundary, MIMI. few days
ago, ran across little shanty in front of
which was a human foot Entering. he
found man named McKinnon lying on
bundle Of rags. almost famished and nearly
insane from suffering. Some weeks ago
both his feet became frozen and mortifca-
ton began in one foot In desperation he
cut it off with a butcher-knife and threw it
outside. This crippled him completely and
he lay in his hut, dying of starvation, thirst
and pain until the chance appearance of the
wandering hunter.
Giving the wounded man something to
eat, Contour set out at once to obtain assist
ance. He secured team and two men and
returned to the hut, only to find that In the
intervening period the wounded man had
hacked off his other foot, modification hav-
ing also attacked it. McKinnon was placed
on wagon and start was made for VIM
nipeg, but the condition of the sufferer pre-
cluded rapid travelling, and not until to-day
was the wounded man placed in the hos
pital He is in frightful condition and his
recovery is doubtful.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

has opened a private institution after the plan of the most modern German idea German history and studies concerning Germany and the German people of to-day receive the most attention. French and English are taught as conversation lan- guages only. Instruction in English be- gins with the tenth year; in French, with the twelfth. Drawing, too, is taught with exceptional thoroughness. All scholars who purpose to be theologians or philolo- gists get three years instruction in Latin and four in Greek. All theoretical work is done in the morning, with intervals of exercise in turning or otherwise. Geology, botany and other similar studies are taught in the open air, mostly by object lessons. Throughout the day study and recreation hours are made to alternate, and athletic games are cultivated with as much care and enthusiasm as if they were bookish tasks. Students between six and twenty years of age are educated in this new insti- tutiOn
