ancient Peruvian tombs.
Wheat is believed to be an evolution
from a mountain grass.
Barley is found mentioned on the
earliest Egyptian monuments.
According to Pliny the Roman wheat
had ears with 100 grains each.
Rice is said to be the staple food of
nearly one half the human race.
The Greeks had oats 3. G. 200, but
used them only as food for their horses.
The average wheat yield in England
is said to be Sc bushels to the acre.
The peasants of Germany, Sweden
and Russia subsist almost wholly Oh
rye bread.
Rye contains from to 5 per cent.
less Of the nitrogenouo principles than
wheat.
The native home of wheat is sup
posed to be the mountain regions of
Armenia.
Wheat is mentioned in the Scriptures
as a we'll known grain and under wide
cultivation.
Rice was introduced into Spain by
the Arabs, and Into Italy in 1863 by the
Spaniards.
No kind of wheat now known exact
ly resembles that found in the collins

1t is said that the history of wheat
cultivation In this country Shows a
steady decrease. Fields in New York
that formerly produced twenty to thirty
bushels an acre now bring from seven
to twelve. The falling off is due to lack
of proper cultivation Globe-Demo-

A Baptist clergyman of ST. Louis has
had courage enough to express a doubt
whether a university supported by the

The University of Chicago is q. noble

RIGHTS AND H0NORs
BESTOWED Upon Members of the
Queens Privy Council.

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador at Washington, comes
back to this country invested with
new honors and dignities. For within
the last two weeks he has been created
by the queen a member of her priyy
council, an Office which carries with it
no end Of rank and prestige, and in
vests its holder with the right of pre-
fixing right honorable to his name.
Among the minor prerogatives is the
more or less recognized right of invi-
tations to all court balls and similar
state functions in England, not only
for ones self, but for ones wife and
daughters, provided they be present.
able. while among the drawbacks nust
be considered the sever penalties whiah
are entailed by the violation of the
oath of secrecy and loyalty taken by
every member of the council, eyceut
those who are of royal rank. These
latter are not sworn, but are merely
introduced. AT the council held at
Windsor the other day, under the pres
idency of the queen, at which Sir III
liam took the oath, Prince Henry Of
Battenberg was for the first time in
troduced.
The honor thus conferred upon Prince
Henry is looked upon as preparatory
to investing him with peerage and
a seat in the house Of lords, and is at
tributed to the influence of Princess
Beatrice. as we'll as to the habit into
which the queen has drifted of con-
sulting the prince about all sorts of
questions since the death of her former
servant and confdant, John Brown 1t

Duke of Teck, the Duke of York, nor
yet Queen victoria's other son-in-law
