MANITOBA WHEAT CROP.

WINNIPEG, Man, Sept. 2O.-Manager
Thompson, of the ogvilvie Milling Com
pany. has just returned from inspecting
the wheat crop, and says:
AS result of my trip / am forced to
admit that the government estimate OF
the crop will be exceeded by over seven
million bushels. / estimate the crop OF
wheat for Monitoba this year at S2,OOO,OOO
bushels, and allowing six millions for the
northwestern territories, will give us a
total crop of wheat nearly double that OF
last year and the greatest in the history
of the west | am pleased to find that the
supposed injury from wet weather has
not been anything approaching what has
been represented; in fact, damage from
that cause has been light, and Manitoba
this year will ship more No. hard wheat
than the entire crop of last year.

Devised Plimsoll's Mark.

Samuel Plimsoll, who died the other
day at Folkstone, Eng, was the origin
ator of the famous 'Plimsolrs Mark"
which prevents the overlooking of ships
and which appears on every merchant
vessel sailing under the British flag.
BY a horizontal line the statutory
deck line is marked, below which is a
disk II inches in diameter, through
which passes horizontal line Is inches
long. Twenty-one inches forward Of
the center Of the disk is a vertical line.
with a horizontal line extending toward
the disk, which is marked 'F. W."

vertical line are four horizontal lines
marked 81. S." Qndian summer), 49,"
(summer), "W." {winter), wv. N. A."
winter North Atlantic, which indicate
the depth of water the ship is permitted
to load to in different seasons.
The fresh-water mark permits ships
to load to that depth or its proportion
at certain seasons, as the ship rises in
the more buOyant salt water.
In accordance with the regulations
made by the British Board of Trade
the disks and lines must be permanent
~ marked by punch marks or cutting
and painted white, thus preventing any
change of the mark The Lloyds
agency prescribes that where a vessel
is loaded to a greater draft Of water
than allowed by the mark, or if the
maximum load draft be placed higher
than the position assigned by Lloyds,
the vessel forfeits her character in the
register. The disks and Plimsoll mark
must appear on both sides of steam and
sail vessels.

CHAPTER II.

Della Moray drawing her wooden wrap
closely about her mouth to prevent the
thick November fog finding its way down
her throat, traverses the sloppy streets to
the stage entrance of the Corinthian The
alter, where she has been employed, on and
off, for three years.
Inside the theater little is known of the
girls private history, except that she is
married. OF this fact she has never made
concealment, using it as a protection in
her dangerous position; but since her hus-
band never appears upon the scene, either
to conduct her to the theater or to take
her home, she has not found his name of
nearly so much use to her as her own.
Most of the women employed in the same
line of business consider that Miss Mer-
ton gives herself airs"
The part she has to play to-night-a
secondary character in the opening farce
she has acted over and over again, until
she is utterly sick Of it. She dresses for

her are relating all the adventures that
have befallen them since the evening be-
fore, and she is bordering on the CONVEX
sation she held with Mrs .Hephzibah Hor-
ton. She walks ON the stage and goes
through her part almost mechanically;
words and gestures following each other

actress heart is brooding over the prob

Must Pay for the Privilege.

1t is hardly likely that any considera-
BILE number of Englishmen indorse the
movement to secure a lowering of the
American tariff on British goods as a
slight token of the esteem in which the
American people now hold their cous-
ms across the water. Yet the very fact
that the better feeling existing be-
tween the two nations has brought
such scheme to the front furnishes an
argument to show why real alliance
would be inpracticable. No matter
how much we love cur English breth-
rem we must continue to charge them
for the privilege OF selling their goods
in our markets.-Troy Times.

DisCredits Organism,

The States of Kansas and Nebraska
had a wonderful boom from their
wheat crop of last year which their
people were able to sell at good prices
for gold, thereby wiping out q large
share Of the Indebtedness resting upon
their farms. Although prices are not
likely to be so good this year as last,
the increased volume of the crop-esti-
mated in some portions to be twice as
great as last year-will make it even
more productive and go still further to
discredit Organism and free silver.

The detailed analysis of Great Brit

in the latest issue Of the Blue Book.
There is marked increase in imports,
the total for the year being $3.50, H.

the latter aggregating $1.171, ObS, $40
This leaves debit trade balance Of ST.
84,046,260, while the credit trade bai-
ance of the United States for the fiscal
year ended June 80 is in round num-
bers $600,0O0O0O. Compared with
free trade England protected America
has the better of the argument to the
extent of over $1,6OO,OOO.
Some deductions from this mighty
sum must be made on account of
charges for carrying American goods
in foreign ships, interest and dividends
on American securities held abroad,
money spent in Europe by American
tourists, and some minor items besides;
but even after making all these allow
ances the contrast between the work
ings Of the two fiscal and economic pol
icies is sufficiently striking.

Tariff end Price of Wool.

IarlH ana fE1CG VI :" OOA"
Under free wool the price dropped to
II cents per pound. The present price
of wool is due to the protection afforded
by the Dingley tariff bill. The market
has now nearly reached the point at
which wool can be imported under the
new tariff. When our unwashed WOOL
has reached the price Of about % cents
Der pound the full protection afforded
by the Dingley tariff will have been
reached. Under the Mckinley tariff OF
1SS0-9O the price of wool was y to "A
cents per pound, which is the highest
point it has reached in twelve years.
Following this, for a period OF two
years under Grover Cleveland and no
tariff, the price was about IL cents per
pound for unWashed wool.
Owing to the Dingley protective tar
if the price to-day for unwashed wool
is 20 cents per pound, and with the
return Of prosperous times and the con-
sumption of the enormous amount OF
foreign wool brought in under free duty
during the first half of the year 1897
we shall have reached the point where
the wool will receive the full benefit Of
the tariff which VIII advance the price
CT unwashed wool from to cents
above the present price. This will again
revive the wool industry in this country
and greatly increase the next years

rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was a case Of
rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammuni-
ton and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at work and keep our health ;
in fact, l sincerely believe that at
one critical time this medicine was
the indirect saviour of our army,
for if the packers had been unable
to work there would have been
no way of getting supplies to the
front. There were no roads that a
wagon train could use. My comrade
and myself had the good fortune to
lay in supply of this medicine for
our pack-train before we left Tampa
and I know in four cases it absolute
