THE wheat crop OF the United

than the "a, 100, 900 bushels harvested
last year. This will entail the neces
sity of importing 100, 900, 900 bushels
of wheat or -four from without.
Agriculture everywhere in the United
Kingdom is decaying, at least so far
as the production of cereal crops is
concerned. at would seem, says
William Jago, "that gradually this
country is being converted into a

The Little Known widow Of Ensland's
Great Laureate.
IL Is an illustration OF the adage
that famous mems wives never know
fame that Lady Emily Tennyson,
widow OF the poet laureate, should
linger In an obscurity inconslstent
with her husbands renown.
For great many years Lady Ten
nyson has been confirmed invalid
When she was married to TenDyson,
I'm the spring of 1850, there was no
girl in England who was OF a happier
and more healthy disposition. But
shortly. after her youngest child was
born she was taken with so Tar In
durable malady. TennysOn, as Is
well known, never cared for fashion,
able society, or in fact, any. general
association with average persons; and
the sickness OF his wife In. great
measure made. his retirement more
complete.
The seclusion that her ill-health
enforced was not without result, how
ever, and, although Lady Tennyson
was prohibited from assisting In the
manual part of her husbands work,
she was able to soothe and comfort
him In the hours OF his tribulati0n,
when caustic remarks OF cOld-blooded
critics Jared on his sensitive nature.
Lady Tennyson had always an UNI
swerving faith in her husbands abil-
| ity. In the dark hours or his life,
when self-confidence was almost shat
tered by the venom of his traducers,
her belief was to him constant
source of comfort and hope. There
are few, perhaps, who feel the inspir-
alton and music, the harmonious
chords and deep truths OF his writ
ings as she does The role of admir-
ing auditor is specially adapted to
her. She 10 by no means her hus-
bands equal in mentality, but never
theless Lady Tennyson is nota woman
who lacks the attributes OF genius.
She has musical talent, and her
works show an inspiration somewhat
remarkable in woman OF her char
acter. Her compositions are well
adapted to such of her husbands
poems as she has set to music. Lady
Tennyson's music is better known IN
English drawlng-rooms than It's COM
poser, and outside of the poets homes
in Sussex and the Isle Of Wight few
know her even by sight. And In the
vicinity of her homes she is almost as
little known,

which refinement and purity shine
and is In every sense aesthetic. Hei

are kind, and her features. were II
not for the evidences Of her sick
ness, would be those of a Madonna.
Her brow is pure and has the distinct

shelter the stock.

That farmer spoke an everlasting
truth that said in a Wisconsin farm
institute: ''My friends, one cold fall
rain will injure my cows and sheep
more than standing out whole day,
dry. cold weather." He further said
that it took a deal Of time and
preaching to jog him into the idea OF
putting his stock under shelter in the
fall. 81 am convinced" he added,
'by the experience of only five years
that l have lost money enough by
neglect in this particular in my life
time, TO pay for my whole farm. 1t
pays me big profit to see that my
stock is kept comfortable the year
round" A breeder of high-class
dairy cows lately set prices upon some
of his surplus stock. but before the
buyer accepted his offer he was in
duced to have his milk product
analysed The result astonished him
and led to a complete revision Of his
prices One 7-year-old cow which he
had placed at low price was found
capable of yielding sixteen pounds OF
butter a week, and another cow gave
him a similar surprise, while one
that he thought more valuable than
either could not yield seven pounds q
week. Test them before buying OF
selling.

Foreign art journals recently con-
tanned an account of bargain made
by rich Russian noble with an emf
nent French artist The rich man
bought picture which the painter
had just finished, and which was con-
sidered his masterpiece, giving a
higher price than was asked for it on
condition that the artist should
never make copy or retain photo
graph or even study of 1t.
The Russian could not enjoy this
great work of art unless he knew
that no other human being could
share the pleasure except at his will.
1t hangs in chamber OF his palace.
Oddly enough, the subject Of the
picture which has excited this feeling
is the Madonna and Child.
A companion story tothis is that OF
wealthy "self-made" American,
whose chief pleasure was for years to
accumulate autographs. His collec-
tion embraced letters from almost
every English author, the original
manuscripts OF an essay by Ella, one
of Dickens novels, and a lecture by
| Thackeray. His delight in touching
and looking at these treasures was
keen. They were friends and COM
panions to him.
One day he gathered them all up
and sent them to free college fol-
poor boys.
ut seemed criminal in me, /" he said,

when thousands might be made glad

Happily, his generosity represents
the popular impulse in this matter
rather than the action OF the Russian

An Explorers Blunder.

The recent disaster to the German
troops In Kilima-N jaro, East Africa,
seems to be the direct result Of GU
rious oversight Of DR.. Carl Peters,
who, when he built new station at
Maringu, deserted, but did not des-
troy the fort at Moshi which had been
constructed at an earlier date by the
unlucky Zalewersky. He thought
that the British East African Com
pany would take possession of it, but
it did not, ana thereupon Nell, an en-
terprising African potentate, seized
it and laughed in the face OF Herr
Won Bulow when the latter ordered
him to get out of 1t. Won Bulow
thought he had men enough to repel
him without much difficulty. His
forces consisted OF two officers, two
non-commissioned officers, and 180
native soldiers. Everything went
we'll until within short distance OF
the station, when Lieutenant Wolf
ram was killed. The party was then
attacked by 5000 Wadshaggas, OF
whom 200 possessed breech-loadinP
guns. On their attempting to sur
round the Germans square was
formed, and il was at this juncture
that Bulow was twice wounded. Not
withstanding the rapid firing Of the
German troops, the Wadshaggas kept
advancing with the greatest courage,
and on the discovery that the ammu.
nlpion would not hold out much
longer, Bulow gave orders TO retire,
ne himself being so weak from loss Of
blood that he had to be carried In q
hammock, in which he received The
wound which afterward proved fatal
The loss on the German side, as al
ready reported, was thirty-two killed
] including Herr Won BulOw and Lieu
tenant Wolfram, and sixteen severely
wounded, among them the non-com
missioned officer Bartel. The en-
emy's loss was estimated at between
seven and eight hundred. The Al
.centimetre gun, which the expedition
took with them, fell into the hand
OF the Wadshaggas, but not before !
had been rendered useless.

Owls wanted.

In May last a meeting Of farmers
was held In Edinburgh to consider
what means should be taken in con-
nection with the plague OF mice, OF
"voles," which at present extends
over the southern counties of Scot
land. There was a demand for the
reintroduction Of owls, to the exter-
mination of which, as well as OF
other birds and animals which prey
upon mice, the plague Is attributed.
The Chairman gave an account Of
an owl, not before known In Scot
land, which had been introduced
and which was said to be very fata
to mice; and he made plea for the
preservation OF the owls which al
ready exist.
What may be the result of destroy
ing Natures equilibrium by exter
minating owls, snakes and other use
full creatures of God which prey upoI
vermin is we'll illustrated by the con
dftion' Of Southern Scotland, as re
yealed In the addresses and report
at this Edinburgh meeting. On

into the matter in Roxburgh, Dunn

IDAHo's diamond fields have proved
as thin bubble as any ever brought
to public notice. 1t reached its max.
imum size within ten days, and its
collapse was even more rapid than
its growth. According to the latest
reports from the scene, the announce
ment of the existence Of precious
stones in Diamond Basin was made
by interested parties, with ulterior
motives and with full knowledge OF
the fact that no diamonds were eyel
found in the formation which com
prised this particular locality. In
stead of the ground being of volcanic
origin, it is decomposed granite, well
besprinkled with shiny pebbles and
quartz crystals, which, to the un
scientific, might readily be mistaken
for gems in the rough.

SOME one has figured out from
classical illusions that in the time of
Homer it required the labor of one
person to grind the flour to feed six
teen. The work Of one man in a
merchant flour mill running contin-
ually will certainly suffice to feed
200 people. Edward Atkinson has
shown that, under the improvements
in railway transportation and the
consequent cheapening of rates, the
labor Of one man for one day is now
sufficient, on the average, to move a
barrel of -four a thousand miles.

that Is fully as effective. Let good
trough be made Of boards, with board
ends one foot high, and into these
mortise stick one inch square so its
top will lie flush with the top of the
end boards. Now tack piece OF
bale wire to the right-hand end OF
one side of the trough and carry it
over the inch stick, securing it in the
same way on the other side. Use lath
nails instead of tacks and do not
drive them close in until the wire
lacing is completed. Then they will
carry the wire with them into the

of the end pieces keeps the birds of

Pumpkins Make Yellow Butter.

Many butter makers feed pumpkins
to the cows, and the rich yellow color
of the flesh of this food is due to the
large quantity of deep yellow oil in
this flesh. On the well-established
principle that the fats of the food go
directly into the milk, without change
by digestion, it would only be reason
able to believe that the yellow butter
made when pumpkins are fed is due
to this yellow oil in the food. There
is q common opinion TO the effect that
pumpkins are injurious to the cows,
rs tending to reduce the quantity of
mrfk given. This is quite mistake.
This deep yellow color has been known
to affect the fat Of pigs that have
been fattened on pumpkins so much
as to make it unstable, on the sus-
picion that the pigs have been dis
eased. The food is highly fattening,
and one of the cheapest aud most
healthfuL but as yellow bacon is not
desired so much as yellow butter is,
It will be desirable to feed pumpkins
To pigs with buckwheat, which TO
some extent counteracts the high
color of the former, and the addition
of bran or shorts to the food will be a
further help in this direction.

Getting Marrled In vienna.

A word on avery delicate matter.
1t is serious affair TO get good
parti for girl in Vienna; and 1t is a
yet more serious thing not to have
madame before her name. In conse-
quence there is not that diffidence
and false modesty on the part OF the
parents of manageable daughters
we are accustomed to see at home. Ii
the proper person does not turn up
he is sought for until he is found,
and it is a poor-spirited mamma who
will not set forth the charms OF her
maidens to get eligible bachelors. IL
a younger sister happens to be. mar
ried before the elder, she at once de-
clares herself and is declared by the
parents to be the older, her better
luck and further experience emitting
her to that position.
A friend of ours was astonished at
betrothal ceremony recently to hear
the birth certificate Of the bride, a
young lady whom he had known sew
!eral years, read out, fixing that event
thirty-years before. All during their
acquaintance she had posed as the
youngest of quartette of sisters who
were married before her, and it was
only when the deed was done and the
groom secured that she unbIushingly
and as a matter of course resumed
her proper age.
1t was another young lady, whose
name is buried in the bosom or her
correspondent, who, with an ingenu-
BUSINESS that cannot be too highly
commended, wrote proposition OF
marriage. to an American gentleman,
which, for frankness and an absence
OF all false ideas on a very practical
subject, has not, believe, been sur
passed. And when he, with a valor
that has never been equaled on any
field of battle, replied that such hap
piness was not for him, giving ex-
cuses that were feeble indeed, bat al
least showed the inclination Of his
mind, this admirable Austrian woman
met him on his own ground, begged
that he would trouble himself nc
more about the matter, and hoped
that their friendship might be con,
tinued.

a sense of shame-facedness, because
