crops for the current year will amount to 1921, ,0O0OO0 bushels, from which 516,- 500,000 persons must be fed. Their ac- tual wants, on careful estimate of the actual consumption per person. would amount to 2,924 900 bushels. The fact appears that a deficit Is at hand but this Is obscured by the grain left over from the previous harvest, the quantity thus secured being about 300, 100000 bushels. But actually the years yield will give a shortage of over 400 100000 bushels. Now there are 516,500,000 persons who eat wheat this year, and there will be more next In the past going back as far as 1871, the number of persons to be considered was only 371,OOO,0OO. It was only 472,- 000000 not longer ago than 1891. But each year the total will increase inn l mensely, since even the older countries have been rapidly growing in popula- JlOl. u IS easy lO CoIHpTenelu tHdl thS | multiplication of the wheat-bread eat | ing portion of the race at rate com parable with that recorded since 1871 | will give over 1,oOO,0O0OoO such per- | sons easily by 1881. How will these masses be supplied with flour? Sir l William Crookes estimates that not over 100, 1000, ,000 acres of new land will have come under cultivation by that time. Allowing a large average on this area, he makes out that the limit of the worlds additional production of
 wheat will be 1,270, 1000, 900 bushels. To- gether the old and new lands will pro- duce about 3,191, 900 bushels. But even on the present basis of per capita consumption, the demand of that day will reach $500, 100000. As matter of fact, though, the more civilized con-
 sumers will ask for six bushels of each crop for seed and food per person.
 The outlook is certainly bad for the
 wheat-eaters of 1881 and thereafter. But perhaps they wont be wheat eaters then. Perhaps their food will
 be made out of electricity or some-
 thing.

edge the long, pointed leaves have mainly disappeared
 Before the war it was the sight of lifetime to go out to Marianao, sub urb of Havana, and there drive through an estate which had eighty thousand pineapple plants in full bearing. Over in Nassau they call the pine plantations groves" and orchards" as if they were trees. Whether groves or fields, the plant is about the same, producing one of the most luscious and popular fruits known to man, for which there is constant and ample demand. Like most things worth having in this trou- bled life, the golden pines" are not easy to get at, A very short stroll among the stinging leaves will lead you to sympathize with the New Yorker, who, after visit to Marianao, said: You do not mind the first two hundred or three hundred sticks and prods from the needle points of the bayonet leaves as you cross a field, but after a while your tortured cuts can endure no more and your remarks about the pineaple crop are likely to be prejudiced by pres ent soreness. How much nicer it would be if the "apples" really did grow in orchards and you could send a color ed boy up the trees to shake down few and then could sit down in the shade and eat them"
 1 plant produces ouly one pine at a time. The fruit thrusts itself upward in the middle of long, narrow and sharp arched leaves spreading forth from a | central stalk, precisely like those of the Agave Americana, or century" plant with which everybody is familiar. The stem is perhaps eighteen inches to two ! feet in height.
 The same plant produces second apple, and a third and so on through l several bearings; after which new plant must be started from the slip. l Nothing is easier of cultivation or re- | quires less capital and previous exper- fence, and few crops bring in greater ol 1 more certain returns.

4 ANOTHER WOE,

A few years ago MT. Davis of Kan sas scared a nervous world by an- nouncing that there would soon be a scarcity of wheat. When he made his scare wheat was in the neighborhood of a dollar bushel. It steadily in creased in quantity and decreased in price until at the time when it should, according to his prediction, have been scarce and high it was so abundant that it was selling for about fifty cents a bushel. Now comes Sir William Crookes, an impressive English
 scientist, and says that by 1881 the population of the world will be out of proportion to the annual harvest of wheat And he figures it all right. It is evident that the number of persons in the world who eat wheat is increasing. Sir William Crookes finds that the

 new cure for anaemia is the talk In Sweden. For some time past the eff ficiency of iron in enriching the blood and restoring defective red corpuscles has been called in question. Dr. Ajal- mar Agnes of Stockholm, after per- sistent and repeated experiments, recommends, an adaptation of the old woman's remedy, the thistle. The varl- ety possessing the qualities he esteems is gathered in the spring. The root and half developed leaves are cut and dried A handful of this preparation is steep ed in two liters of water, and from two to three glasses of the decoction should be taken daily by anaemic pa- tients. According to Dr. Agnes, this remedy has been most efficacious in cases where the iron treatment (pills and iron waters) had signally failed. He recommends the use of the plant as a. table vegetable. The ends of fresh branches can be boiled for few min- utes, chopped and made into a pala- table and nutritious soup.

5 A Liverpool clergyman, who drew Cardinal Vaughan's attention to a statement made recently, and which had been referred to by the Bishop of Liverpool. as to the existence of Jesu- it's in the Church of England, has re- ceived reply stating that it is simply impossible that a dispensation should be given by bishop, Pope, or any other representative of the Roman Catholic church to Roman Catholic to act as a minister of the Church of England, or of any other denomina- tion, for furthering the doctrines of the Roman Catholic church. That there were clergymen in the Church of Eng lafld who held and taught all the doc trines of the Roman Catholic church might be true, the Cardinal said, but it was simply lie to assert either that they were Jesuits or that they stayed where they were by virtue of a dispensation from Rome.

American bicycle competition is, seri- ously felt even in England. Ninety per cent. of the smaller bicycle parts come from America and Germany. In Birmingham vast quantities of Ameri- can hubs and pedals are sold. English trade papers are calling vociferously upon their manufacturers to wake up.
 In Philadelphia they are trying to break up the f1ourishing industry of getting injured on the street cars and collecting damages. Three men have lately been brought into court there charged with this kind of trick, and one of them confessed to having got injured three times within as many months, settling with the railroad company in each case for considera- ble sum.
