Cost of Raising Wheat in India.

The cost of raising an acre of wheat
in India is put at the following: Rent
per acre, $3.50; carriage of manure,
$1.2O; $50 pounds of seed, $1.65 ;
plowing, twenty, times, seventy-five
cents; sowing by hand, fifteen cen nts ;
watering three times, 1925; reaping
and carrying, sixty cents; thrashing,
thirty-fve cents; winnowing, seven
cents: total, s1O.62. On good irriga.
ted land the average yield is seventeen
bushels per acre, and ten or eleven on
dry lands, which, however, may be had
for much less rent. The average price
is sixty-eight cents, which brings the
returns from the acre of wheat to
S11.56 and the straw to So, or $l4.56

StarbOard and Port.

The term starboard or port when
applied to the wheel of a ship is a
conundrum to a landsman which he
has difficulty in getting through his
head. How the turning of the wheel
which acts on the rudder brings about
the desired result of starboard and
port can be illustrated by reference
to a Chinaman. A starboard wheel
throws the stern of vessel to star
board, changing the course of the bow
to port and vice versa. So with d
Chinaman when he turns his head to
the left, which is port, his plgrall
swings to the right, which IS star,
board. Opposite results are obtained
when he turns his head the other way.

"'TwAS BUT"

TWAS But.
Twas but word in sorrow's hour,
murmured low;
Twas nothing but wayside lower
To one in woe:
How little did it seem to me-
That flower wild;
Yet on the word and on the flower
The great God smiled.
Twas but hand-press and tear
Where life was sad;
Only smile Of joy and cheer
Where all was glad;
Such tiny deeds they seemed 10 me,
AS from q child;
Yet on the hand-press, on the tear,
The great God smiled.
Twas but the lifting Of the cross
Laid at my feet;
Only the letting go my will
Ny Lords to meet; :,
But weakly things they seem-and all
BY sin defled-
Yet on the gift Of will and heart

1T DON'T DIMINISH DRINKING,

elaborate report on the operation OF the

it is far from satisfactory, 80 far, at least as
the putting down OF drinking is concerned.

profits from the sale Of a drink. instead Of
going into private pockets. are devoted to
