Gentle Annie.

Gentle Annie was the girl who went forth
when the spring-time came to gather wild
flowers, s,--daisies along the hillsides, and for
got her rubbers. She came back with wet
feet, followed by the worst case of neuralgia
she ever had. Fortunately she was told and
had long known that for any kind of neu-
ralgic affection st. Jacobs Oil is the most re-
markable remedy ever used. All the year
round any one subject to such attacks should
not fail to have it in the house. For all
aches and pains which at all times beset us
there Is nothing to equal it. Nerve pains es-
pecially are brought on by sudden changes
OF temperature, but the great remedy, ap-
piled promptly, will surely cure.

worthy of special mention, as showing
the urgent need of humane work. The
first case was of a boy who was poorly
clad, and whose education had been
entirely neglected. Upon investiga-
tion this case revealed a shocking
state of affairs; the father admitting
having raised family of five children,
none of whom had ever seen the in
side OF a school house, and some of
whom had been regularly sent into
the city to beg, while the father is the
owner of good farm and has good
bank account.
The other cases reported were those
of cruelty to animals, some of which
were extremely aggravating. Any
observing person can see such cases
almost daily, and yet there are those
who oppose humane work, but with
persistent effort and proper educa.
cation, all such opposition must cease
as there is no doubt of the urgent
need of this work.

THE CONSUMPTION OF WHEAT

The official estimate of the con-
sumption of wheat per capita in this
country has been HI bushels. StatiS-
tlcal authorities differed somewhat
upon this estimate, and as result an
official who has been connected some
years with the agricultural bureau,
reviewed the whole field and in addi-
ton tabulated returns made of the
actual consumption of wheat in 1874
families. These families represent
1925 individuals of varying ages, who
were working in various occupations
in widely different sections Of the
cohntry.
1t is interesting to note that the re-
suits he arrived at are exactly the
same as those made by the census de-
partment, showing the average annual
consumption to be III bushels per
capita. Placing our population at TO-
900. 900, and this gives the enormous
aggregate as the consumption OF
wheat in this country Of about 3d.
900, 900 bushels. Add to this 10000, 600
bushels used for seed. and 100000
bushels said to be consumed for paste.
and we find that this country con-
sumes all Of 400.000,000 bushels OF it's
wheat crop annually. This does not
include any of the wheat used for
feeding livestock, etc. which amounts
to more or less each year, and reached
a large amount last year.
1t has been found that the home
consumption of wheat varies from
year to year, it having reached as
high as 5.53 bushels, and in 1890 was
52S. 1t is probable that the hard
times during the past two or three
years has had the effect to decrease
the amount somewhat.
From the estimates which the Of
ticials have made upon the consump-
tion and also upon the total crop, it
will be noted that the surplus then
left for export is not very extensive.
But as yet figures of this kind do not
seem to have any effect upon the
price, nor urge an upward tendency !
