THE PROFIT OF THE WHEAT
 GROWER

GROWER.
 Accepting the cost of operating a bonanza wheat farm at $5.70 an acre, and accepting the average selling price of the wheat at fifty-fve cents a bushel on an average yield of nineteen bushels to the acre, one finds that the product of an acre is $10.45. This would seem to leave a net profit to the capitalist who maintains the field of about $475 an acre. From his gross sum there must be subtractions. The matter of interest must be considered. The returns from the years business do not come in until the farm has been operated practically year. It is not uncommon to hold the product for six months or a year after it has been harvested, waiting for a profitable market. Eighteen months is about the time that may be said to

President Faure was much struck by the loneliness of the French army out posts in the Alpine districts, which he visited this summer. Questioning a few of the soldiers, he learned that when they found somebody who could play an accordion and make dance music for them they were able to cheat the dull tediousness of the snowy season. An accordion-player however, was a rarity. M. Faure at once resolved to supply them with ready-made music,so he has sent them presents of barrel-or- gans, or, as they are called locally, orgues de Barberie. He has also SUD- piled some of the mountain garrisons with books, and his generosity is much appreciated by the soldiers.

The Russian general Skobeleff has al- ready entered into mystiology. Ac- cording to the firm belief of the Rus sian soldiers and moujfks, he is not dead, but in his place a soldier who looked like him was buried They be- 1ieve that he is living in France incog- nito, to free himself from the rnachina tions Of his enemies, and is ready to appear at any moment that his coun- try has need of him. During the Chino Japanese war he is thought to have commanded a Japanese army corps un- der an assumed name. So firm is this belief that when a few days ago it was announced that he would arrive at Via dikavkas a great crowd of peasants as sembled to greet him. When he did not appear they dispersed in disappoint- ment, but still strong in their belief that they would some day see the ,"White General" again.

In tearing up a siding on the Straits vile division of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad the other day the section men discovered that several of the rails had been made in 1863. Subsequent investi- gation revealed the fact that these rails were part of a lot that were bought in England during the war at cost of $125 per ton in gold. The rails were still in very fair condition and for light motive power would last ten years longer.

The Boston Herald points out that it is singular that in the search for a parallel to the death of Henry George the instance of Daniel Webster has not been mentioned. Daniel Webster died at the height of the campaign of 1852, when there was ticket of electors in nomination for him in Massachusetts, to which he had assented, if not as a test of his strength, with view to les sening the vote of the regular Whig. candidate for the presidency He was not living when the vote was taken, but the ticket was kept in the field, and was supported by those who put it there, after his death.

Atlantic Currents.

1t is an interesting fact in the records
of scientific progress that the United
States navy has for long time past
been dropping bottles overheard in the
Atlantic ocean at the Azores, in deep
water along the coast of Spain and from
the Madeira and the Canaries south
ward along the coast of Africa The
fact that all these bottles that have
been recovered have been found on the
coast of South America, on the Antil-
les, and some of them as far west as
the mouth of the Rio Grande, suggests
the inference that every buoyant object
which has been dropped into the ocean
during the present geological epoch by
prehistoric or historic Spaniards, Por-
tuguese or Africans has found its way
to America and been stranded some
where between the tenth parallel south
and the thirtieth parallel north. In the
northern part of the Atlantic ocean the
currents run the other way, and the
mails have been delivered from Ameri-
ca to Europe. In the Pacific ocean the
daily mails delivered on the west coast
of America from Mount ST. Elias south
ward have proceeded from about the
twentieth parallel north, in the vicini-
ty of the Malay peninsula and archipel-
ago, thence have travelled through the
China sea and the Japanese sea to pick
up matters designed for the western
hemisphere.

An Unerring Barometer.

The advertising columns of legitimate
newspapers are now regarded by the
more intelligent and thrifty portion Of
the public as an unerring barometer of
the character, energy and success of
business men, and those who fail to APP
probate the now universally accepted
method Of reaching the people must fall
behind in the race for business profits.

IN THE LONG AGO.
When the st. Louis Spaniards Marched
Against the Michigan English.

When the st. Louis Spaniards Marched
Against the Michigan English.
A Spanish army came to Chicago in
the long ago. The minor details of it
and the finer statecraft reasons of it are
hidden in the catacombs of the Escu-
rial along with tons of other docu-
ments that will never see the light
again. But we know that those men Of
war marched over the Illinois prairies,
and that they were sent TO increase the
dominions of their sovereigns.
By the treaty of Paris, signed in 1868,
France coded to Spain all of that vast
territory known as Louisiana, which
stretched from the mouth of the Missis-
sippi to the Canadian line. In 1881
Great Britain was at war with the
United States, Spain, Holland and
France st. Louis was Spanish town,
and English officers attacked it at the
head of 800 Indians. They were de-
feated with little trouble and retreated.
In revenge the Spanish commander
at St. Louis, which his people called
San Luis de Illinois, planned a raid
against the British post of st. Joseph.
1t was fort or outpost, located at a
point two miles from the present city of
Benton Harbor, Mich, and so miles
northwest of Chicago, across the lake.
The force began its long, difficult and
dangerous journey on Jan. 2, 1871.
They estimated the distance at 220
leagues, or ego miles, and subsequent
surveys have proved that they were re-
markably good guessers 1t was officer
ed by Captain Eugenio Pure, command
ing, and Lieutenant Carlos Tayon. The
interpreter was Luis Cheyalier. Chiefs
Electurno and Nequigen led the so In
dians of the Fox and PottawatOmie
tribes. There were 65 Spanish volun-
teers, in all 1870 men, selected with
special reference to their ability to with
stand the arduous journey.
They marched up the Mississippi riv-
er to the mouth of the Illinois and
thence along the track of the French
explorers and voyagers. The route took
them up the Illinois river past Fort
Creve Coeur (Peoria) to old Fort st.
Louis (Starved Roclz). Here they plant
ed the blood stained banner Of Aragon
and CASTLE. A century Before from that
rocky eminence La Sale had unfurled
the fieur-de- lis of France subsequently
the British flag had waved over it.
Now Old Glory waves there in peace
and beauty.
Purre's force toiled in snow and ice
to the junction of the Kankakee and
Desplaines rivers. They followed the
Desplaines to point west Of what is
now South Chicago and came to the
lake at its southern edge. They found
it desolate region Of swamps and sand
dunes. Thence they marched to their
destination.
The small garrison of st. Joseph fed
to Detroit at the news of their approach,
and all of the stores fell into the hands
Z of the invaders. They proclaimed the
{ sovereignty of Spain over this section
ARhd divided the stores. After resting
SONIC days fN-y 5egaa&heir return march
over the former route. They reached ST.
Louis in safety after midwinter march
of nearly /, 400 miles through hostile
country. They had few casualties and
gathered much plumber. Chicago

Eureka Gas.

The name Of Eureka gas is given to a
new illuminant, expected to rival acety-
lene. This gas, as described in Inven-
ton and originated by M. Hector de
Favi of Montefascone, Italy, is obtained
as follows: Lime as pure as possible is
employed as base, colophony and cal
cium carbide being added, 900 parts
of the mixture ready for use consisting
of 900 of quicklime, so of colophony
and 30 Of calcium carbide-and there is
said to be no liability of explosion by
mixing with air. No heating of water
and no special burner is needed. One
thousand parts of the mixture give go
iters of gas at pressure of So MILL
meters of water, and the photometric
intensity of the fame is stated to be
92.4 candle hours, while the same
amount Of calcium carbide employed
singly would give only Is candle hours.
Thus, it is asserted, the new gas is so
per cent cheaper than acetylene, or that
at equal cost it will give half as much
more light,

The Hint Was Taken.

a dear old clergyman once OK
changed pulpits with a younger brother
minister well known for his aggressive
ness Speaking to him before service,
the resident pastor told his substitute
that the window behind the pulpit was
broken, but requested the latter to say
nothing about IT, ms he had spoken
several times without effect. lie added
that the hymn books were badly torn,
and finished by saying, in an apollo
gctic tone, that che didn't suppose the
people could afford new ones"
The young minister promised to re-
frain from making any remarks upon
these matters. After beginning the SER
vice he found the draught from the
window uncomfortable.
He quietly took his overcont and
stuffed II through the broken glass.
The deacons became very uneasy, in
wardly resolving to remedy this at the
earliest possible moment.
When he announced the second hymn
he found the last two stan2as missing.
He read what h. had, then said to the
congregations: THESE are all the verses
in my book; II there are any more in
yours You may Sing them"
Needless to say the window was
mended and new hymnals provided be-
sore the next sabhath.-Nogue.
