Had Not Been Introduced.

A good-natured young fellow was
at a West-End picnic and rashly
spoke to a young lady without the
formality of an introduction. He
happened to see fat caterpillar
crawling on her lace collar, and,
jumping towards her, he said,
MADAM, permit me To-" But
the young lady waved him off with
an imperious and insulting gesture,
and said-"How dare you speak to
me without an introduction You
are certainly no gentleman, sir"
Here the caterpillar overbalanced it.
self and fell on her neck. "Youchl
Obi Take it off. Oh, please do take
it off, somebody" screamed the fair
one, The young man was the only
somebody" about, and he said, 81
couldn't think of it, madam; I
haven't been introduced to the
caterpillar"

Britain's Bread Bill.


Mr.. I. d. Read has just published
a paper on the wheat Question:"
which is worthy OF careful consider
alton (says the London Echo), espe-
cially as the United Kingdom is the
only great Power dependent on the
tender mercies OF others for daily
bread. During 1896 our imported
food and drink cost f182,0O0,000,
over f3O,OOO,OOO of which were paid
for wheat and -four. In short, our
raw bread bill for the past twelve
years has amounted to f521 100000.
OF this enormous sum OF money our
own wheatgrowers have only re-
ceived f14,OOO,OOO, whilst the re-
naming millions have gone abroad.
However, Mr.. Read points out that
it is only during recent years that
we have been so dependent upon
Others for our daily bread. Our
bread supply has not been tested
since the great war with France,
when the average price of wheat in
1899 of Cos per quarter rose to lbs
10d per quarter in 1900. Proceeding,
Mr. Read shows that some forty
years ago our wheat area was suffi-
cient to enable us to grow practical
ly all the wheat we required for
bread. 1t was in 1872 that England,
for the first time imported more
wheat than she grew. In that year
our population was 100000. We
grew 100000 quarters, and i'm
ported 100000. Last year we
grew about 100000 quarters, and
imported 23,0OO,0OO; our wheat
growers obtained about f8,5OO,OOO,
and we sent over f30,OOO,OO0 abroad
for wheat and flour. As a matter Of
fact, we now grow only a two or
three months supply. In case Of
war, the condition Of the country in
this matter would be very serious.
In the Crimean War, when Russia
had no fast cruisers wherewith to
threaten our mercantile marine,
wheat went up to 81 per quarter,
and the Alb. loaf rose from Cd to Is
Sd. The price Of wheat has always
increased during European wars.
In the Franco German War the
price OF our wheat increased about
los per quarter, and in the Russo
Turkish War of 1877 it rose similar
amount. On Easter Tuesday in last
year the price went up Is per
quarter, because Turkey had de-
clared war against Greece the pre-
vious Saturday evening. Recently,
in Crete, the combined Powers pro-
hibited the importation of food, and
England did not protest. 1t follows,
then, that food will be declared to
be contraband of war in England
when next she is engaged in great
war, a position which would be most
alarming for this island. Mr.. Read
contends that in order to avoid any
such contingency our land ought to
be better cultivated. There are, he
says, 10000 acres of derelict wheat
land within sixty miles OF London,
while we are called upon to support
100000 paupers in our warehouses;
many OF whom are able bodied men,
quite capable OF working on the
land.-Glasgoao Daily Mail.

COFFEES

Some are cheap now. Cheap
cereal adulterated coffees are
very plentiful and are forcing
down the prices Of the old
Kona product, especially the
medium and lower grade,
with which they compete.
The higher grades of Isl
and coffees have declined a
little in sympathy.
Our customers are the first
to benefit by reductions.
Fine coffees are scarce and
no reductions can be made in
their prices.

Unequal.

Married women may be considered
AS having settled the question OF self
support. 1t is upon those who do
not marry that the problem presses.
We often hear it said that the world
is hard on women, and many people
talk asifsome exceptions might and
should be made from the laws of
modern industrialism in favor of
women wage-arhers. The world is
hard, but no harder, no more unjust,
to women than to men; and no
legislation was ever yet enacted to
protect or favor by artificial means
one class Of labor against another
that harmd did notresult. If woman
enters the business field she must
accept the conditions existing; and
those conditions are the laws of
supply and demand, and thecompeti-
ton resulting from their operation.
No man or woman can enter the
labor mark etandnot compete, unless
he Or she possesses quite exceptional
qualifications; and to compete is to
strive with others for the same thing.
Competition is a warfare, where
your success is my defeat, where
whoever takes up arms must fight,
and where the one who exercises the
greatest skill andgreatest endurance
wins. Competition involves and
compels the survival of the fittest,
as vigorously as do the laws of life
and death.
That the woman who enters the
field of business completes at a great
disadvantage, owing to her physical
disabilities, her lack of business
habits and technical training, is true
but if women are to work on thu
same terms with men land ask
yourself what other terms are pos
sible), they must accept the same
conditions that men accept.
Ifa one-legged man should insis
on being letter-carrier, we nigh
admirehis courage and perseverance
but we should urge him to choose an
occupation for which he was bettel
suited. He might say with trutf

Well Watched.

The empress of Austria is probably
the best watched lady in Europe; and
this IS somewhat difficult. since she pre-
fers walking to riding. and does not
care to have herself surrounded by SOL
diers. When she walks abroad. she is
preceded by body guard. which clears
the road in advance, while on either side
and in the rear is swarm of detectives
In plain clothes. ready to arrest any per-
son making a suspicious movement. 1t
is not known why all this care is exer-
cised. since the empress is rather better
liked than most crowned heads of Eu-
-ope.-Golden Days.
