Wheat from West Siberia.

Z
Thestate department has areport
from our consul at st. Petersburg
dealing with the probable effect OF
the opening Of the Siberian railroad
on the wheatsupply of Europe. Con.
sui General Jonas thinks that from
West Siberia alone at least 6, 600, 600
bushels Of wheat will be brought
into market by this railroad, and
that the completion OF the line will
so stimulate wheat raising as to
make the probable shipments from
that section in succeeding years
much greater. Immense crops are
now raised in those Siberian dis
tricts which are nearest European
Russia, In three Of these districts,
Tobolsk, Tomsk and Yenisulsk, the
surplus for export was over 10000
900 bushels in 1889, and has been
enormous in each year since. There
are sections OF Siberia which will be
made accessible by the new railroad
which are better adapted to wheat
raising than these fertile districts,
and the quantities to be marketed
win probably increase yearly. There
is no encouragement in these esti.
mates to American wheat growers
who are hoping for higher prices

Proof That Women Can Sharpen
Pencils After All.

Among what are supposed to be
the few universally admitted truths
is this: A woman cannot sharpen

what the ministerial brotherhood
would call "unsettlingo to say it,
but this is nota truth after all, even II
II is universally admitted; woman
can sharpen q lead pencil, says
the New York Tribune. There is in
d far downtown Office charming
young woman, as many such there be
in far downtown offices. The other
day d visitor noticed that her pencil
was exceptionally wellsharpened.
Who sharpens your lead pencils
for your inquired the visitor.
Nobody; dot myself, (" answered
the Young lady, with great decision.
The visitor arched his eyebrows
and looked as incredulous as heknew
how.
III you don't believeit I'll sharpen
yours for you, /" said the young lady,
with a note of defiance in her voice.
The visitor produced somewhat
battered-looking pencil which he had
! lssst borrowed from a friend. Shf
took i Ia her left hand, with The
point aimed at the ceiling, and then
from some mysterious place in her
desk produced one of the most
formidable carpenter chisels which
1t had ever been the lot of the Wis
itor tomeet. 1t must have been at
least sixteen inches long, and the
blade could not have been less than
an chand a quarter wide. Without
the least hesitation she applied the
chisel to the pencil and began shay
ing off slices Of wood around the
point. Before the visitor regained
controlofhis organs OF speech she
handed the pencil back to him,
sharpened better than he could have
done it himself.

itor. Why, you are fit to run q

And the young lady put her chisel
away and smiled with a superior
air.
