The Wheat Crop.

This Office has made careful inquiry
Of late regarding the condition Of the
coming wheat crop In all localities
there is a largely increased acreage
over former years. In places it has
been somewhat winter killed but a
favorable season from this time hence
will make the aggregate crop far
greater than we have ever had before,
To the northwest of this town, in the
Verdieris country, the prospect is
much better than it is due north, and
on Cowskin prairie and south Of us
it gives a fine promise.

The Coral Sea

In no quarter Of the world are the
partlyburied ocean wonders more layishly
displayed in ali their endless variety
than of this northeastern coast Of Terra
Aus;raiis, within the great barrier reef
in the coral sea. As the boat IS launched
to take Us ashore the wonders commence
at once. It is surely some fairy forest,
where elm kings court princesses in
fshly guise, or water babies sit and p9ut
on some coral boulder. Oris it s sub
marine ioTer garden where the mer-
maids dwell.
Deep down in clear, bright water
wondrous shapes and colors are seen, at
first indistinetly, ike tinted photograph

lower and shallower, more and more
distinctly fash the jewel fires, and the
picture Is complete. Large fiat bowls Of
milk white coral first attract the eye.
Then others with branching antlers like

are lying buried in a huge, confused
mass Some are covered with ten thous-
and sharp pinnaeles ofa light purpiy
color, each pinnacle having bright blue
eye-or what looks Ike an eye-at the
extremity.

Longevity of Man.

II was Prof Hufeland's opinion that
the limit Of possible human life may be
set at two hundred years-this on the
general principle, says the s. Louis Re-
public, that the life Of nearly all living
creatures IS eight times the years, months
or weeks Of lis seFiod Of growth. That
which quickly comes to maturity quick
Is perishes. and tie earlier complete de-
velOpmeut is reached the sooner bodily
decay ensues- More women reach old
age than men, but more men attain re-
markaole longevity than women.
Horned animals are shorter lived than
those without horns, fierce longer than
timid, and amp hidious creatures longer
than those which inhabit the air The
pike will continue to live for one hundred
and fifty or one hundred and seventy
1--WE years, and the comm N turtle is good
for al least century. Passing up the
sale Of life TO man and skipping the pa
triarchs We find many recorded instance
Of extraordinary longevity.
The ancient Egyptians lived three
times as long as the modern lotus eaters.
Instances Of surprising and authentic
longevity among the classic Greeks and
Romans are not at all rare Piiny notes
the fact that in the reign Of Emperor
Vespasin ,73 A. D. there were l24 men
living 10 limited area on the river Po
who we-e loo years old and upward.
Three Of these we're 40 and seven 9TH

A Wonderful Volume.

The most beautiful volume among the
half million in the congressional library
in Washington IS said to be a Bible
which had been transcribed by a monk
in the sixteeuth century. It could not
be matched to-day in the best printing
office in the world. The parchment is in
perfect preservation, Every one of its
thousands pages is a study. The general
lettering is German text, each letter per-
feet, as Is every one, in cold black ink,
without a scratch or blot from lid to lid.
At the beginning Of each chapter the
first letter is very large usually two or
three inches long. and brightly illumi-
mated in red and blueink Within each
of these capitals is drawn the figure Of
some saint, some incident of which the
chapter tells IS illustrated. There are
two columns on a page, and nowhere is
traceable the slightest irregularity Of line,
space or formation Of the letters. Even
under a magnifying glass they seem flaw

might learn every letter Of the Divine
commands which he had violated Eg-

sued ais task. Each letter was wrought
in reverence and love, and the patient
soul found lis only eOmpanionship in the
sanity faces which were portrayed on
these pages. When the last touch was
given to the last letter the old man rever-
emily kissed the page and folded the
sheets together. The illustrated initials

present day. With all our boasted prog

Don'ts for Young People.

Don't forget hatmarriage Is the found
alton Of a new family, not the union Of
two old ones.
Don't marry one whose tastes and
ideals in life are so different from your
own that there could never be singleness
of aim and purpose in the home.
Don't marry anybody till satisfied that
life together will be bearable and enjoy
able, as long as both shall live.
Don't expect marriage to make a great
change in the habits and aims Of a young
manor young woman either.
Don't try to win love by ilattery.
Don't try to buy love by rich and nu-
merous gifts; love got in that way is not
worth the having, for it is not love at all.
Don't marry for physical beauty alone;
for unless mated with beauty Of mind
and spirit, it is truly an apple Of ashes.
Don't forget, when married, that mu-
tual forbearance is the keynote Of life
long happiness.

A Substitute for Leather.

Leather possesses such excellent quali-
ties for the many purposes to which it is
put that it would seem idle to seek q sub
stitute. Nevertheless, there are many
persons who. while they find that leather
serves as an efFectual protective covering
for the foot, find also that it is often OBJ
stinate in adapting itself TO the require
menis of individual feet or to the more
or less physical abnormalities TO which
so many are subject. In such cases, if
comfort is to be expected, only the most
supple and yielding quality should be
worn. At the same time, Of course, it
should be waterproof and durable, These
qualities, so far as we have been able 10
Judge, belong in satisfactory degree, to
an interesting and new material called
fiexus libra" 1t appears TO be fax
derived material, suitably prepared and
oiled, 50 that to all appearance it is leath-
er. It is particularly supple and flexible
and takes a polish equally as well with
TIE best kinds Of calf
We have recently had occasion to wear
a boot of which the "yamp' or eut-front
section consists entirely of Aexus fbra,
and have Durpously submitted it TO some
what undue strain, in spite Of which no
cracking Of the material was perceived,
while the sense of comfort TO the foot was
very evident. Flexus libra, being ma
terial Of vegetable origin, is calculated
also TO facilitate free ventilation and
thereby to Obviate the discomfort arising
from what IS called drawing" the feet.
Tests with view TO Prove its damp-re-
sisting power were made with the mate
rial by placing a small section over an
open glass tube with true ends 50 that on
applying pressure al the other end Of the
tube it was found to be practically air
tight This having been ascertained, a
little water was placed il the tube resting
on the fiexus hbra and pressure once
more applied. After some time traces
only of liquid had oozed through but
of course, this was an exaggerated state Of
things. and, as matter Of fact, no oOz-
ing Of water took place at all when it
was simply allowed to rest on the mate
rial for several hours. The structure OF
flexus ibra is better seen wien the oil IN
