bushels. This year he has about 15O
acres of corn, so acres of wheat, and feeds

THIS YEARS WHEAT.
The Final Estimate Based on Actual
Threshing Returns.

ihelurhS'
CHICAGO, Oct 6.-The' Orange Judd
Farmer, in it's final estimate of the
years wheat crop, says that figures
based on actual threshing returns indi-
cate total yield of $50, 600, 0O0 bushels,
of which 373, $50, 900 bushels is winter
and 215, 47O, 900 bushels spring wheat.
With the exception of Illinois and
Missouri, the winter wheat represents
the full capacity of the soil. The
spring wheat yield in Minnesota and
the Dakotas has proven a disappoint-
ment, the aggregate being only 129,-
600, 900 bushels. Shortage there is
in a measure counterbalanced by the
good yield in Oregon and Washington.
The report says the corn crop is ex-
ceedingly disappointing, at an outside
estimate of l, 75O, 900 bushels. Drought
during the past two months reducing
the average condition from So, a month
ago, to rs on October 1st.
An average oats yield of 2S,7 bushels
per acre suggests crop of $4,000, ,00O
bushels, 1OO,OOo,oo0 more than last
year.

The last number of the Journal of
Political Economy contains an interest
ing article by Edward S. Meade on
"rhe Fall in the Price of Silver" The
facts produced by Mr.. Meade make it
clear that the price of silver has fallen
for the same reason that prices of nails,
steel rails. calico and Of most other
manufactured articles have fallcn-in-
proved and cheaper methods of produc-
ton. In spite Of the great decline ~
price since iSSS production hasincrcascd
50 per cent. The rapidly increasing
supply Of silver and the equally rapid
decline in price are undoubtedly re-
sponsiblc for most of the characterization
acts which have occurred since 1873 and
which are now becoming so numerous
that it seems likely that, us our director
of the mint says, it will be less than 10
years before every country on the face

FadS i'm Medicine.

There are fads ia medicine as in
every thing else and a f'new
thing" frequently sells for q short
time simply because it is new.
But in medicine, as in nothing
else, the people demand and will
be satisfied only with positive,
absolute merit. The fact that
Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood its
ground against all competition,
and its sales have never wavered
but have remained steadily at the
top, demonstrates, beyond any
doubt, the intrinsic virtues of this
medicine. The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
parilla rests upon the solid foun-
dation of absolute merit and it's
power to cure, and its sales con-
tinue to be the largest in the
world.

resting on your lounge, or enjoy
ing your religious newspaper,
there is a mission school for poor
waits that sadly need teachers,
and pecuniary help and personal
soul-winners. Don't cast a stone
at the Levite on the road from
Jericho. These heather children
in our slums are as truly your
"neighbors" as the bleeding man
on that roadside was to the
Levite.
There is no more fatal fee to
the cause Of Christ than this
spirit of Levite-ism for it wears
the robe of religion and processes
to be going up TO Jerusalem, and
yet leaves perishiEg souls unpitied
by the wayside. It is the secret
of small missionary collections.
1t is a chief reason for the fewness
of conversions to Christ. 1t
creates the cbasm between the
cultured class, pampered with re-
ligious privileges, and the vast
heathenizcd masses Of neglected
souls. If it "passes by on the
other side" in this world, perhaps
it may find itself con the other
side" in the next world. May a
frey baptism OF the Holy Spirit
purge our churches Of this occurs
ed spirit Of the Levite, and purge
it out Of all our hearts ,-Cuyler.

Time is Money

Few questions are of more i'm
pOrtance TO the young person
than the question Of the amount
Of time to be spent in getting an
education. There is little doubt
that old time courses and methods
were waSteful Of both time and
energy.
The Independent normal schools
were the first institutions to plead
for shorter, richer courses of
study, longer school years and
more intense application. Three
years Of forty weeks each, with.
out long holiday vacations and
numerous examinations, devoted
to intense study will do far more
for . student than five or six
years Of thirty weeks each, inter
Spersod with frequent holidays
and vacations. 1t is not the time
q bullet travels that gives it
striking power but the sWiftness
with which it moves. just SO in
education. The young man or
woman educated in an institution
where the very atmosphere is
fraught with energy and where
each student is bending all his
power to the accomplishment of
his purpose has a wonderful ad-
vantage over those who spend
some six years at tasks which
could be accomplished easily in
half the time.
Jasper Normal Institute is con-
Quoted in accordance with the
principals OF independent normal
ism SO deservedly popular in both
North and South. It's students
are leaders. The institution is in
its eighth year but it numbers its
successful students by the score.
They succeed not only III teaching
but in dentistry, medicine and
business as well.
If you want a good education
without a waste of time and mon
ey, you should patronize Jasper
Normal.

My Neighb0r.

1Aot ohdib ioNS I'LL IC'- iccI
as myself" = whole-hearted
love Of God expels selfishness and
prompts us to put our fellowmen
into our own hearts. Who is our
neighbor: You say it is the per-
son who lives near us. Very true,
but that has a wide meaning. All
our fellow-men dwell together in
this huge planet house which our
Heavenly Father has built for us.
We shall sleep at last in one COM
mon burial ground, and we shall
all stand together before the great
white throne on the Judgment
Morn. The tawny savage OF Bor-
neo and the swarthy barbarian of
the upper Nile, the lone fisherman
Of Labrador and the crisp-haired
bOor Of TimbuCtoo will be my
ncighbOrS before that tribunal.
VIII l'not be ashamed to meet
such neighbors then and there, if
from our laden table OF gospel
bounty | did not send to one OF
them slice of precious gospel, or
even q crumb?
Your neighbor, YOU say, is the
person who lives near you. But
perhaps he is only a Dettle in your
side. His being near you bles
him to backbite you, or oppose
you, CT undermine your comfort
so that you wish that he lived
farther Off. What then? Love
him; that's all. Not his mean or
Jealous or malicious conduct; but
love the man. SO love him as to
forgive him and do him and do
him all possible good, and make a
better man Of him. What a tri-
umph Of grace it would be if your
prayers and your efforts should
bring about the salvation Of the
very person who has tried to do
you ar injury. Do you think that
you ever had a neighbor who
treated you as unl1indly and as
ungratefully and IS shamefully as
you have often treated your
Heavenly Father? Yet he loves
you to the point of sending His
Son to die for your redemption.
To love a courteous, generous,
hospitable neighbOr requires no
religion. A churl or a scamp
could do as much as that. ''Do
not even the publicans and sinners
the same:" But to treat a wan
tonly offensive man-to treat
malignant, revengeful man-as
we treat ourselves, this is the
sublime requirement Of genuine
| Christ The measure of
our love to our nejghbor, whoever
he is, IS the love we bear to our
own selves. Do wish to pros
per? Then [ must wish him to
prosper also. Can | show him
how to manage his business bet
ter, and help him to fill up his
drained purse: Can | make his
home brighter and put more sum
shine into his dark hours? Then
by all means let me do it, and if
he has been my enemy, then [ can
kill my enemy and make a friend
by one shot.
There is an awful and distress
ing inequality in the condition Of
people on every side of rs. a part
Of it is caused by their own folly,
or vices, or improvidence. An
other part, and very large part,
is caused by the violation of
ChriSt'S clear commandment,
''Love thy neighbor as thyself. .
If we were careful to give every
fellow creature his or her just
dues, there would not be so much
need for what is called charity"
II we spared the unkind thirst OF
freezing neglect, how many more
| happy hearts there would be:
Our Lord painted that vivid
and beautiful picture of the Good
