Buying Wind, Not Wheat.

IL see." remarked the wide awake
farmer, chronicles the Buffalo Express,
that wheat has gone up to seventy
cents in Chicago, and there's a report
that it will keep going till it gets a
dollar Now I'd like to cotract to sell
you my crop for seventy cents. Seven
ty cents will do me. I'd rather have
sure thing while it's going than to
take my chances on doing better by
waiting.
But" replied the commission mer-
chant, II can't agree to contract for
your wheat at seventy cents"
"Why not? It's going up to dol
lar, and You'll make 30 cents bushel.
Amt that enough?''
oh, yes; but you see, that seventy
cents is only speculative price. 1t
amt what they pay for real what"
Don't pay that for real wheat +!
Wha: in thunder do they pay it for
them
"Why, Tor options"
"Well, now what the blazes are op-
tionsy'
"Why, they're pre- ,ises to get wheat
and sell il for such and such price"
well, then, they've got TO get the
wheat, amt they?'
NO ; they sell the promises again.
according rs the market rises or falls"
and they don't buy and sell any
real wheat at all +?
Not much"
"Just buy and sell wind at seventy
cents bushel?'
That's about it.
Thunder an Mars, wise I'd knowed
that last fall ! wouldn't a-sowed any
wheat. I'd tied my grain bags to the
back o my old fannin' mill an kept
the boy turnin' it all winter till I'd
filled all the bags l could got hold of.
But it amt too late yet. BY gosh, if
it's wind they want stead of wheat
! can supply the market for the hull
country right oil my own farm."

A WORD ABOUT SUMMER.
WRITTEN ron THE MESSENGER.

Spring with its alternatcs of heat and cold
Its mission filled and passed away.
a. Corsair in the race is fleet
Spring its time does not overStav
On its track followed lovely June,
Its condition mild aud sweet with flowers,
Its coming has never been too soon,
Always with some fruitful showers.
introduced herself with quccnly grace.
With natures adornments all around,
Always with sunshine ON her face,
With benefactions her hands abound
First summer month welcome to all the wcrd.
Without it all would seem so drcar.
The banner Of jov with it unfurlcd--
Giving skies and landscapes smiles and
cheer
Beauty 10 the floral world and ioy,
Field and forest in grand array
All living things find sweet employ,
'Songs i'll the night, bouquets hy day
What il the musquito does intrudc,
The whipporwil brings us his song.
We may learn never TO be rude.
II rough or smooth-gently move along
II discomforts come-rclieis at hand,
The shade e-trce and the cooling fount,
Beneiactlons always Mt command.
In fertile vale or vine-clad mount
The Summer solstice marks the role
Order is natures pristine law,
Forward and backward To reach the goal.
Nor in its movements single flaw.
Day has measured lis highest term.
Longer will he the nightly rest.
In all things we can good will affirm,
The Lord and nature knows what is best.
Fair June begins-brave August ends.
The summers rule along its plains:
In all, atmospheric magic blends,
And Gcd His handy work proclaims.
Blessed season Is our summcr time
Its heated term has sure relIefs-
In all its role are things sublime,
Joys supreme, Sanctitied our sricfs.
ALTERATION marks the summers train,
From June to January" | give.
Fragrant .forers and gro'eing grain,
For these be glad long as you live.
Yes. flowers aud fruits and other things.
Abundant and precious is the store,
From the sowing the harvest springs
Enough we have-in prospect more.
More of summer is on its way.
July and August 10 March along,
With benefactions night and day,
And as they pass, salute with song.
Value its gifts while in your reach,
Nor one Of its mercies underratc,
To do the same your friends bcsecch--
Or share the ,ulprit's evil fate

Great institution of the times
To lime it is given right of wav.'

A PUDDING
....FOR A TOWN.
IL Was Over Two Hundred Feet
Long and Baked i'm IL Trench.

IL Was Over Two Hundred Feet
Long and Baked i'm IL Trench.
! had been 10 years on Savage
Island, and meant to come to England
on visit, but before leaving went to
each village to say goodbye to the
people. We had been three weeks
from home, when we got to little
village called Liku.
The evening after our arrival there
was a terrible commotion-men, wom-
en- and children were running about,
some carrying sticks, some logs of
wood and some big stones.
The men began digging long
shallow trench with their sharp point
ed sticks. The boys brought big
stones and firewood. These were piled
up all along one side Of the trench.
The wood was then set fire to and was
soon blazing, while the stones on the
top were getting hot.
While the fire was burning one side,
little bundles of something white and
soft were being undone from the clean
leaves that contained them. This was
the paste out of which the pudding
was to be made.
There was no flour, suet, eggs, milk,
plums or currents in it. 1t was the
paste of a native vegetable called taro,
and old cocoanut, both grated very
fine and mixed together. A long pud-
ding cloth was laid along the side of
the trench, and in 1t the pudding was
carefully wrapped. 1t wac not calico
or linen, but nice clean banana leaves.
Over this long cocoanut leaves were
plated.
When the stones were hot enough,
some were quickly laid along the bot
tom of the trench, then the long pud-
ding laid on the top Of them, and then
some more stones at the sides and on
the top.
Some girls had brought heaps of
leaves to lay over the top to keep the
heat and steam in. and the earth
which had been dug out of the trench
was thrown over the top.
The cooks and pudding makers all
went to sleep, and left the stars to
watch their cookery. Next morning
at s the whole village was astir. men
women and children all in holiday
attire.
1t was soon uncovered, and was
found to be well done. Long poles
were brought and laid the whole
length. These were fastened to the
pudding by small vines, canes, etc. 1t
was then rolled out of the trench on
one side; short sticks were made fast
crosswise to the poles, and all was
ready for taking up.
About 100 men and boys then rails
ed it on their shoulders, and with one
tremendous shout started toward my
house. accompanied by the whole vii
lage.
| measured it before carving, and
found it was 2O4 feet long-two feet
longer than the monument of London
is high 1t measured 13 inches in
circumference. 1t was soon carved
into pieces four yards long, and these
were distributed all over the land,
men carrying as much pudding as
their strength would allow to distant
villages. English Exchange.
