Worlds Wheat Crop Short.

A summary of crop conditions in
Europe at the close of the spring season,
published IN the May 81 number of
Mark Lane Express, does not give a
fatterlng promise for the years wheat
crop.
In England too much wet in winter
and the early part of spring, then
drouth with hot days and cool nights
and other eccentricities of the weather,
as reported from different sections,
have proved unfavorable to the crop,
and variously according to character
of soil and differing conditions, so that
on the whole the prospect is for lest
than an average crop.
In France similar conditions bu
more pronounced have reduced the an
ticipated yield to about $4,000, ,OOC

How Chewing Gum is Made.

entered the United States during 1895.
This entire product, valued at nearly

ing gum. A walk through leading
chewing gum factory is interesting.
Here over 1000 ,0O0, 900 pieces of gum
are annually produced and shipped to
every portion of the world. Three
hundred employees are engaged in the
manufacture of the gum, the first step
of which is the importation of the raw
chicle, which is gathered by the poems
in Mexico and exported in bales con.
tanning about 100 pounds each.
The gum is taken from the bales and
chopped into small pieces. These are
freed from the tree bark and chips by
steaming and picking, Then it is ground
in mills making S.4OO revolutions @

The ground gum is subject to con

Points About Coffee

In 1880 the United States used less
than one fifth of the entire coffee pro-
duct of the world. Today it uses half
and more than any other nation, nearly
500, 900, 600, 900 pounds have been con-
sumed on Uncle Sans farm in 1896.
The amount of bogus coffee produced
in the United States every year is large
in the abstract, but small relatively,
being about three millions of pounds.
Since there have have been SO many
laws passed compelling coffee sdultera-
tioa 10 be Indicated ~ Sho labels on
the packages, the quantity of bogus
coffee has begun to decrease.
There are only five brands of coffee
known to the retail trade-Java, Mo.
cha, Maracaibo, Rio and "ground
coffees." No matter what country
they come from, they are all to be
found under one of these five heads.
To the jobbers there are about forty
brands.
The coffee expert ia necessarily a
man Of almost intuitional knowledge
regarding the coffee berry. He must
be able to tell from the looks of the
berry, as well as from its taste, just
where it came from, and what grade
it should take so far as price goes. He
must be able to sort out every impure
and misformed berry in an entire car
go. OF course, he gets a high salary,
but the constant tasting OF the coffee is
severe strain upon his digestive or.
gans and his nervous system, and un.
less he takes frequent rests he wears
out young.

An Expert Whose Questionable Occupation
Is Almost Gone.

An Expert Whose Questionable Occupation
IS Almost Gone.
The practice of plugging defective
knots ia p'pes is "old as the hills.
There is notsa river county but has it's
expert pluggers, who pride themselves
on being able to fix up an old. sickly
knot or to bore the old one out and in.
sert new one In such artistic manner
as to defy the detection of the most ex-
perienced inspector. Years ago, before
most of the largest pines were cut down,
special orders for mast pieces were fre.
quently received. Good prices were
paid for them. but the existence Of
hollow or rotten knot made the piece
worthless for the purpose intended.
II was here that the expert was called
upon, and SO well did he do his work
in many CAGES that neither the in
spector noev'ie reinspector discoyered
his skiilful -lsA-iipulation. The ship.
builder even could only discover the
fraud after having commenced the
rounding off process for the purpose or
placing the spar in position. The
rather disIeputable art of plugging
pine is now Gead or dying, but since
the demand for cypress made it profit
able to manufacture this wood the in
genious cutter has set in to doctor"
its characteristic defects, in many in.
stances so boldly as to bring down
upon him the wrath of the buyers. The
defects in cypress appear mostly at the
ends. The top of the butt Is usually
honeycombed, defect resulting in the
formation Of large hollows, and oy-
press logs floating very deep in the
water, the inspectors only chance to
discover them is to examine the circu.
lar surface with the tip of his dip rod.
The practice of doctering these sur.
faces by means of plugs has recently
become very popular. Fortunately.
however, when a log is headed up into
the mill to be sawed the fraud is de.
tected, the log is identified as having
been sent down by certain cutter,
black mark record is kept and neces-
sary steps to prevent a repetition are
taken.-Sayannah News,

Vagaries of Genius,

Macauley, the historian, always used
to eat his Sunday dinner alone and at
restaurant. When he had finished,
he generally built up pyramid of wine-
glasses, which he delighted to see top.
pie over. When he left the restaurant
he used to pay literally for the broken
glass as well as for the dinner.
Cowper, the poet, was great hand
for pets. AT one time he possessed a
squirrel, cat, two dogs, several ca
nary birds, a startling, jay, magpie,
two guinea pigs, three hares and five
rabbits.
Whenever the soldierly Duke of Eper.
nay saw hare it made him sick, and
once he kept his bed for a week after
one of these little animals had touched
him.
1t is said that Rembrandt, the great
artist, loved his pet monkey next to
money; that he shed tears when the
creature died, and painted a portrait
of it from memory.
Tradition hath it that Philip the
Duke of Burgundy devoted much of
his time to contriving trap doors in his
house and grounds for the purpose of
sousing unwary strangers in water
holes underneath them.
Cardinal Kichelieu loved cats as
much as he hated children. When he
died his favorite Angora cat refused to
eat, and soon died also.
When travelling, Handel, the COM
poser, used 10 order dinner for three;
if very hungry for FIVE, and then eat
the whole himself.
Pigs were the favorite pets of Harris
the poet. He used to teach them to
follow him about and one of unusual
intelligence he taught to drink beer
out Of mug.

The Rise In Steam Pressure.

The most prominent condition affect.
Ing all engines, whether marine, loco.
motive or stationary, is a more general
employment or higher steam pressure.
This increase of pressure has been
market within the last fifteen or twenty
years. In marine practice it has risen
in that time from 60 to 15O pounds, and
In exceptional cases recently it has
reached 270 pounds. In locomotive
practice it has increased from 1876 to
nearly 200 pounds. In stationary prac.
tice i5O pounds is not uncommon, and
200 pounds is occasionally employed,
although in that field 100 pounds is a
ruling average. In the future this
average will increase, as the more gen.
eral introduction of water tube boilers
makes it practicable, and because it ID
necessity if electrical apparatus is to
be operated economically. B. Stan
