PERSONAL MAGNETISM.
The illustrated American.

The law Of compensation finds convincing
testimony when one stumbles upon a woman
OF the plaineat possible appearance who yet
has that indeanabie attraction which we call
magne tism. The woman who can fascinate
both men and women, and whose admirers are
not confined 10 any age or condition, is the
one who can penetrate cynlcism and find the
heart beneath il, who can allure with faint
suggestions OF her real self yelled in elusive
caprice, who can excite curiosity, show her
self capable or surrender with the sweetness
Of weakness, be knocking aud tender all In one
breath. Her eternal interest in things outside
OF herself invites confidence, her sympathy
encourages and her appreciation hGtters she
is never tired OF her kind. Each lie which
presents Itself before her Is more interesting
Than the latest popular work In fiction, and
her interest Is real and not assumed.

THE NEW TARIFF TO BLAME.
New York Tribune.

An interview with q leading ship-owner in
Glasgow on the decline OF trade between New
York and that port is published in one of the
English newspapers. IL may not be very en-
couraging to scotchm en- and Englishmen 10
read that the tide of business is against them,
but this is what the ship-owner says: Trade
from Glasgow TO New York does not exist; the
new tariff has wiped 1t out. On the other
hand, there ig good business doing from New
York TO Gla,Row, American products finding
their way over in increasing volumes"

In speaking Of the general condition
of agriculture Mr.. Wilson says:
"Our statistics show that the wheat
acreage in 1895 was 34,618, ,646. the
yield 427, 684, 346 bushels and the value
1910, Goa, ,539. Of this crop about per
cent remains. The average price was
72.6 cents per bushel, the highest since
1891, when it was 83.9 cents per bushel.
Already spot wheat is selling at an ad-
vance, and how much higher it will 60
do not know. The increase in price
and yield should amount to at least
$4,000, 900, il not 500. 600, 900. OF
course have no figures bearing on the
yield for 1897, and ! make no predic-
tions as to fluctuations in prices
Wheat is only one article. Take
corn. OF course the crop has not yet
been harvested. The prospects are, how
ever, for an abundant crop, and as its
price is regulated to some extent by that
of wheat good prices should be realized.
There has been falling of in the acre
age Of about I, 900, 600 as compared with
1895. The total number Of acres stand
ing is 80, ,096, 051. It 10 impossible, with
