A New Reading Circle.

The growing abundance of literature Is
making 1t more and more difficult to select
and to read with profit. Long ago admir-
able reading courses were devised which
served double purpose-subjects and
books were selected after true educa-
itional plan and studies were helpfully
directed. Often these courses were long
and expensive, preventing people of small
leisure and means for reading from ac-
cepting their good offices. Nearly two
years ago a company of literary people
devised the Bay View Reading Circle, to
serve where the others had failed, and its
short and low-priced course has become
very popular. This year the circle makes
a speciality of England and astronomy.
The course requires an average of less
than half an hour daily, and the books,
which may be bought anywhere, cost but
So. 1t is possible for every place to have
circle. Descriptive circulars of the
course and telling how to organize can
always be procured from the central
Office, which is located at Flint, Mich.

WHEAT AND CORN.

Spring Wheat Crop Is Said to BE Not
Very Good in Point of Quality,
The quality of the new spring crop has
been mooted question. For this reason
a Chicago paper has obtained from official
sources the inspection returns at Mime
apolis, the largest spring wheat receiving
point, and presents 1t as very fair index
to the character QUALITY of the last crop.
1t is good crop insquantity, but the r.
ures are not especially encouraging from
a quality standpoint. Here are the re-
turns for the last three months, showing
the number of car loads received and the
way they are graded:
