100 Bushels Wheat from Two Acres.
This remarkable yield was reported
by Frank Close, Minnesota, on two
acres of Marvel Spring Wheat. Speak
ing of this wheat, this new sort takes
the cake. It is the greatest cropping
spring wheat in the world. Farmers
who tried it in the past season believe
seventy-five to one hundred bushels
can be grown from one acre, and are
going to get this yield for 1894. At
such yield wheat pays at soc bushcl.

No one knew why the daughters Of
the several households were SO anxious
to learn to make bread, but 1t was a
fact that every girl in town suddenly
developed desire to relieve her mother
of the biscuit making. And yet, not
every one; for little Ruth Hazen de-
clared she couldn't and wouldn't, and
stuck to the china painting which she
sent regularly to Rockland. and which
brought her more money than carloads
Of biscuits would have done.
Valentines day brought only one
valentine for 10, and he opened it
wondering if his friends had forgotten
that it was his birthday, or whether
they thought it time to drop the old
custom. He wondered who had re-
membered him The roses looked like
some he had every year, half blown
and always pink. Ruth Hazen always
wanted a bunch of the blush roses by
the door, and he remembered so we'll
how she buried her face in the last
ones he had carried to her-yes, it must
have been Ruth. Puzzled and little
troubled at the dearth of valentines, he
knew not what to make Of it Then
him last summer, giving a good reason,
of course, but one that he knew could
have been laid aside.
After supper rafting wagon drove
to the door, and its driver, after
knocking, left on the step a bundle
directed to u. j. Jennings"
There. that's the Conant's wagon, I
know; and this is Jennie's valentine"
The bundle contained dozen of the
1ightest biscuit ever seen, and this
rhyme:
A valentine dared not make.
But biscuits by the dozen bake.
Another knock, and another parcel was
deposited; another dozen biscuits SO
like the first that they might have been
made by the same hands, and this
rhyme:
You told the saint
didn't know how
To make good biscuit;
just look at this, now.
Sixteen dozen biscuits in sixteen differ
ent bundles were spread on the table
beecso nine o'clock, each bundle con-
tanning scrap appropriate to the day
and the unusual gift.
10 lay awake nearly all night trying
to think what could have brought this
avalanche of bread upon him, and
finally concluded it must have been
that little speech of his about the girls
not knowing how to make biscuits.
But his mind kept returning to Ruth's
valentine, and by and by he decided
that man didn't need but one valen-
tine, especially if he had plenty of
bread. So, toward morning, he dropped
asleep to dream of being shut up in a
tower and not allowed anything but
biscuits to eat or sleep on, and the only

What Our Courts Cost.

Few people have any idea OF how
the Republican legislatures of this
State have robbed the tax payers in
the creation of Office, with fat salaries
and supernumeraries enough to ad-
minister the public affairs OF a COM
monwealth with ten times the popu-
lation Of Washington. The salary list
OF the state offices al Olympia is some
thing appalling. Not only are there
the Governor and the regular state
officers, but there are innrmerable
commissioners-land commissioners,
fish commissioners, pilot commission
ers, and hosts of inspectors serving I'M
der them-All fattening at the public
crib and more than half of them doing
work which the State officers could do
Just as we'll.
Not the least among these senseless
and extravagant features of Republi-
can rule is our present judicial system.
The constitution provides there shall
be at least one judge elected by the
qualified electors of every county" Eek.
cept.. in certain counties where one
judge shall sit for two or more coun-
ties "until otherwise directed by the
legislature") to constitute the Superior
courts. The legislature is also given
authority to prescribe the number and
the duties of the courts of inferior
jurisdiction. Our Republican law
makers have availed themselves oil
this power to saddle upon the people
an unnecessary number of courts
which with their judges, clerks and
bailiffs, are eating up the substance o.
the people in expenses which have te
be made up by taxation.

Of the value of two cents. Another

that it was a wedding fee. that he had

agreed, the dominic seized his melon,

he passed out with his bride, threw

THE CELESTIAL JOSS.
by Luck Cards and Oblong Sticks the
Chinaman Seeks to Learn His Future.

by Luck Cards and Oblong Sticks the
Chinaman Seeks to Learn His Future.
The Chinaman's religion from an
American point of view seems to be a
belief in inspired luck. This is the
way it looks to anyone who has visited
the joss house in Mott street and had
the aged and bald-headed Chinaman in
charge to go through the services for
his edifcation. So much does it seem
to be a matter of luck, says the New
York Sun, that policy players and
others who believe in luck and super
stitions have begun to make visits to
the joss house to find out from the
bones and the sticks what to do to win.
The regular form for holding services
in the joss house includes the joss
sticks, the services of the officiating
attendant and a luck card. The room
occupies the full width of the build
ing. At the rear is the shrine of the
joss covered with carved figures and
tapestry. Before the shrine is a row
Of pots with earth in them, where the
joss sticks are put, and little tray
with holes to hold the pink wax tapers
which are burned in connection with
the joss sticks. A large frame shuts
off the view of the joss from across
the street. In this frame there is
carving which is said to represent the
history Of China, the great figures in
rows showing the successive dynasties
and the principal events. In the
corners of the room there are carved
chairs, huge umbrella about eight
feet in diameter, and little shrines
where also joss sticks may be burned.
On the east wall hooks are arranged
in regular order and numbered. On
every one OF these hooks there is q
package Of pink paper printed in
Chinese characters. The papers are
about three and one-half inches long
by two wide, with five rows of Chinese
characters and a superscription, also in
Chinese. They are numbered accord
ing to the hooks they are on. These
are what the Americans call luck
cards. On either side Of the pots in
which the joss sticks are burned is a
long tin cylinder filled with long strips
Of wood and ivory several inches longer
than the cylinder. But in front Of the
joss there are two oblong pieces OF
wood, resembling in appearance large
red banana split in two. i
After the joss sticks have been
lighted and while they make the room
fragrant with their perfume, and the
pink wax tapers are burning in the tin
tray, the officiating attendant pros
trates himself before the joss and
bows number of times. Then he
takes the two oblong pieces Of wood
and throws them in the air. The way
they fall decides in a general way the
luck OF the applicant Ono side Of
each is round and the other fiat. For !

Very Formal. =,

The etiquette maintained by the lord
lieutenant of Ireland in the vice regal
court is illustrated by an incident de-
scribed by a recent interviewer. The
writer was seated in the drawing-room
of Dublin castle, when the door sud-
denly opened, and a tall, singularly
handsome, well-groomed young man in
morning-dress entered the room.
Upon his appearance, Hon. Mrs. Hem
mixer and her sister, Lady Fitzgerald,
and the remaining ladies and gentle
men present rose to their feet, for this
was his excellency the viceroy of Ire
land. Not only do Mrs. Henniker and
Lady Fitzgerald always rise upon their
brothers entrance into the room, but
it is further their custom, as it is the
bounden duty of every lady, to courtesy
to him profoundly on leaving the lunch
eon or dinner.table.
