Current" gives exports Atlantic coast
total for the year ending June 3lst at
100, 900 bushels and the Pacific coast
total 4O,990,0OO bushels. From this it
appears that about 40 per cent OF our
shipments already 60 from the Pacific
coast, and this year the prospect is for
further increase. There are difficulties
on both coasts in regard TO freights for
forward dates at advanced prices on the
theory that return cargoes after the
passage OF the Tariff bill will not be as
easy to secure. The receipts of primary

they present fair average rs compared
with the years 1883 9-90-94-96. Re

THE PORTER HIS BOOTJACK.

A Struggle In a Pullman Which Inter-
es,sd the Car.
A traveller recently witnessed an
amusing episode on a train between
Chicago and Kansas City. A very re-
spectacle and we'll to do old gentleman
was in the car. When bedtime came,
he struggled with his boots. He first
put II foot on his knee and tugged.
AS he was travelling his boots were new.
The boot wouldn't bulge in that posi-
ton, so he placed the toe Of the other
boot against the heel and tried it that
way. The boot stuck. Then he hooked
his foot around the other leg and took
hold of the heel and tried to work it
off, but it wouldn't come. At last he
went in search of the porter and de-
manded a bootjack.
cellar to goodness, boss, amt got one

Sympathizing passengers tried to
think the old man out Of his troubles,
and a drummer. as usual, brought forth
the best suggestion:
"Make the porter pull them off," he
said.
So the porter took off his jacket and
turned back his cuffs and went to work.
He tugged and pulled and seesawed
the boot back and forth and perspired
and grunted, but the boot wouldn't
move. The drummer filled the breach
again.
II used to pull my grandfather's
boots off sometimes when I was a boy"
he said. Tell you how I did it. Turn
round," he said to the darky. The
darky turned. Nov take the boot be-
tween your legs, grasp the heel and toe
and yank." The darky did sc. The old
gentleman chung desperately to the seat.
The boot began to move and finally slid
off. almost throwing the puller across

Speaking of his work in China, Mr..
Rich said:
II was simply employed to make an
engineers report on the proposed line,
with an estimate of the probable cost.
I traversed the route between Picking
and Hankow, but made no survey. The
line, when completed, will be about
700 miles long, and will run
through a country partly level
and partly hilly. It will be
very difficult of construction and will
call for many engineering features,
solely on account of the rivers and
streams that cut up the entire country.
I made an estimate of the cost, but l
would rather say nothing about the
matter, for the reason that my business
with the Chinese government is of a
confidential nature"
Mr.. Rich was unable to say whether
or not the Belgian syndicate that has
been credited with having secured the
concessions for the construction of the
road would carry out the undertaking.
AS yet, no work has been done, beyond
that which he himself has performed at

MESA ENCANTADA SCALED.
Rock That Is Supposed to BE as 1t Was
Left After the Deluge.

Left After the Deluge.
ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, July 27.-The
Mese Encantada has at last been scaled.
The honor belongs to Professor Libby
Of Princeton university. The Mesa
rises to a height Of $50 feet from the
plains and cover a space of about 10
acres. Professor Libby was equipped
with a gun used by the United States
life saving service. The cannon was
anchored in the desert and a cord 5000
feet in length was shot over the great
rock and made fast on the opposite side.
The ascent was then comparatively
easy. On the summit there were no
evidences Of habitants. The huts of
ancient race that We're believed by ira
dition to be there, We're nowhere to be
seen. It was a bare and desolate place.
The flora gathered may be of value as
settling the early history Of the country,
as the summit is supposed to be as it
was when it emerged from the deluge.

LEAN NJ EAT,
It Sometimes Contains a. Much as Seven.
ty-eight Per Cent of Water.

1t Sometimes Contains Is Much as Seven
ty-eight Per Cent of Water.
Lean meat, it may surprise many to
learn, is much more watery than fat
meat. This may be illustrated by the
statement that very lean meat may con-
tain as much as IS per cent of water,
while very fat pork may contain only
10 per cent. The flesh of fish is more
watery than ordinary butcher meat.
Thus salmon contains five-eighths of its
total weight of water, cod four-ifths
and founders six-sevenths.
Among the foods which may be cited
as containing but a small percentage of
water, aud consequently as dry food,
are flour and oatmeal, and sugar is a
food entirely devoid Of it. The animal
body has often been aptly likened to a
machine, and, like all machines, it re-
quires fuel to keep it working. Now
this fuel it obtains from the food which
we eat, and in default of food the ami
NAL tissue itself is drawn upon. Food,
therefore, keeps the animal body warm
and yields the muscular energy necessary
for the accomplishment Of the work
which the body does. In this capacity
the three classes Of food nutrients may
all be concerned.
The value Of a food may be estimated
in terms of the amount of heat it will
give rise to. The most concentrated food
fuel is fat. When fat is burned, it gives
rise to twice as much heat as is given
by the burning of either the albuminoids
or the carbohydrates. Fatty foods, there
fore, possess a much greater heating
value than ~nonfatty foods. -Philadel-
phia Times.

Week In the Northwest Witnesses q De.
cline in Wheat Conditions.
ST. PAUL, July 27.-In it's weekly an
alysis of the wheat situation in Mime
sofa and the Dakotas the Pioneer Press
says:
The week in Minnesota and the two
Dakotas has not been so favorable to
wheat on the whole as it might have
been. Numerous reports from the Red
river valley indicate quite extensive
damage from excessive rains. Grain on
low land is flooded and even that on the
uplands suffered more or less, as a
heavy rain accompanied the drenching
rain in some localities. The injury in
the Red river valley, however, would
have been much more severe if
the days following the rain had
not been cold and breezy
thus preventing the damage by rust, of
which there was grave apprehension.
Moreover, the rain which has made the
moisture in the Red river country exces.
sive was badly needed and proved very
beneficial throughout South Dakota. IL
North Dakota it was also beneficial.
Thus the Red river damage was par.
TALLY balanced. 1t also proved benef.
cial to the southern counties of this
state, drowning out the chinch bugs in
some localities where they were numer.
Gus and busy. Chinch bugs south of
the Blue river, Hessian fly and blight

fact, which is we'll known, that the sea
has receded since ancient times, the
strategical position of this ancient pass
is still immensely strong. The alterna-

hills a mile and a half north of the

equally capable of defense and leads in
to a country Of a most difficult charac-

At a very early period in the north
