School of Osculopathy.

The incident at Detroit in which
speech was restored to a mute girl by
the shock resultant upon kiss has
served only to make fun for the para
graphers. It's serious side has been en-
ttrely overlooked. The hints that gave
the world Newton's law Of g-ravitation,
Watts steam engine and Harvey's
discovery Of circulation were, however,
vague and blind compared with this
straight tip from nature. The infer
ence is SO plain that it cannot be over
looked. Nature wants a new school Of
medicine. For lack of a better name
it might be called osculopathy The
possibilities Of such a curative school
are dazzling. True, it might not be Of
much value for acute strabismus,
though men have had their eyes opened
by kiss, and for broken limbs and
tuberculosis it's utility is doubtful, but
as a tonic and stimulant the old schools
Of medicine would have nothing to
compare with it. THAT tired feeling
would retire without a struggle before
such a course Of treatment, heart fail
ure would be no more, and nostalgia
would efface itself from the list Of hu-
man ailments.
Then, also, osculopathy would be
fully in line with human progress. It's
opportunities would be open alike to
either sex. In fact. it's greatest sue
cesses would undoubtedly rebound to
the credit Of the women. No man with
any sense Of chivalry could long re-
main uncured, no matter what his NAL
ady, before osculopathy as practiced
by q competent doctor with the proner
amount Of personal charm. Only one
drawback presents itself in contem-
plating the beauties of this newly dis
covered agent. It might result In cpl
demic hypochondria. The man with
out an ailment would be compelled to
invent one. But this is minor mat
ter. The world now has it's long-sought
opportunity to combine business and
pleasure in the matter Of it's medicine
and should not overlook it's advantage.

How the Germans Do It.

It behooves American business men
to reduce the search for export mar
kets to some sort Of system, # they
are going to compete successfully with
other nations. Germany sent out a
regularly organized export commission
two years ago to study the markets
of China, Korea and Japan and to
bring back not only exact and techni-
cal information, but samples of prod
ucts most in demand in those coun-
tries.
These samples were arranged in an
upper story Of the palace Of the i'm
perial diet at Berlin, where German
merchants and manufacturers could in
spect them, by getting a card Of adj
mission from the official in charge.
Afterwards the collection was distrib-
uted to places in the empire where
similar goods are made. The report
Of the commission was not made pub
lie, as it was desired to keep it's re-
suits for the exclusive use Of German
merchants.
F. H. Mason, the American consul
general at Frankfort, urges the organ
ization Of a like commission for the
benefit Of American merchants. 1t
should be made up of "well-trained
young. men, with good manners, a prac-
teal command Of French, German and
Spanish, combined with intimate
knowledge Of a certain class Of man
ufactured goods, and the commercial
methods, currencies, weights, measures
and customs Of foreign countries"

The situation, from a general point
CT view, so far as the producer of wheat
is concerned, is not at this time high
ly encouraging, much as we would like
to see it so. This has been a year Of
excessive production Of wheat, not
only in this country, but the world
over. These experiences do not bring
about high prices. The low stocks Of
wheat existing throughout the coun-
try are being so rapidly replenished
that advancing price is not to be an
ticipated. The export demand is not
yet settled point. 1t may come later,
but it is not likely to be anything more
than spasmodic for some time to come.
Covering Of shorts by bears is about
the only quantity that is likely to be
productive Of profits or stimulation in
prices for several weeks to come There
is good ground for belief that the later
months of the crop year will see better
prices.

The Outlook for Wheat.

The G 10 b does not join heartily
With certain we'll informed men in re-
gard to the general pessimtstic ten
dency of the wheat market of the
Northwest. 1t is undoubtedly true,
however, that the worlds supply is
coming prominently to the front in the
shape of figures in a way that affords
indication of far less values being
placed upon the product than those Of
last year
1t Is always a mistake on the part
OF farmers to follow up a year of very
high prices for wheat such as the last
crop year was, with overplanting and
overcropping. high price one year
stimulates overproduction the next
year, and the farmer inevitably suffers
from falling into this practice.
American producers, this year, are
confronted with an aggregate gain over
last year of $4,000, 900 bushels. There
is at present a worlds Increase esti-
mated in Europe of 2S6, 900, 600 bushels
over the crop of 1897, according to
Bradstreet's collection of reports Even
in Russia the latest figures indicate
an increase that has not been hereto
fore regarded as possible
1t is folly to talk about the Argen-
tine crop and it's possibilities, for it Is
not harvested until January and Feb
ruary, and reports from that source
are simply used as binders. What our
own producers must look to IS the pres
ent condition prevailing in Europe.
There have been, unquestionably, gains
in almost every European locality, and
only very slight depreciation in the
Asiatic crops 50 far as indicated.
Wheat stocks were extremely low at
the beginning of the present crop year;
but there has been a freer marketing
OF new wheat, both in the winter and
spring wheat sections, than was an
ticipated. The process of gaining il
stock supplies has been slow, and in
degree which has had a depressing eff
feet upon the market.
This is no year in which to make
comparisons with former years this
side Of 1891, so far as the month Of
September is concerned. There is some
thing in the way of approxima ton OF
volume between 1891 and 1898 to be
considered, and the figures are given
below for the years between 1889 and
1898 from Bradstreet's issue of Oct. 8,

The result OF the recent Illinois W. c. T.
U. state convention, he'd at Elgin, in regard
to the much-dscusged temple question, Is
considered by nearly all of the ST. Paul wom-
en- interested to be a forerunner OF the d.
feat OF the question at the national conven-
ton which will be he'd here In November.
Mrs. Carse and her staff spent all OF Sat
urday trying to gain the support Of tho con-
vention at Elgin. The delegates refused to
take any action, and the question was laid
on the table,
1t is the general feeling in S.. Paul that the
idea of trying to save the temple should be
given UP and the money and energy OF tho
unions devoted to their legitimate work.
There remain out FOUR states now tnaC nave
not decided to withdraw their support from
Mrs. Carse Ohio being the last state to de-
eide against her.
Mrs. Carse was asked at the Illinois con-
vention IL she did not issue the bonds for
the temple while Miss Willard was in Can
ada, and II both Miss Willard and Mrs.
Stevens did not disapprove of her action.
Mrs. Carse, who uses the memory and lie
of Miss Willard as one Of her strongest pleas.
was at a loss for answer, but finally re-
piled that her action was afterward ratified.
This will undoubtedly be discussed freely at
the national convention.

In the Matter of Grain Inspection.

There is something wrong evidently
in the administration Of the law con-
corning the inspection of grain in Min
nesOta. In an interview with Charles
A. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, published
in The G o Sept. 80, that gentleman
said: Until men are all honest and
skillful there are bound to be mistakes
made somewhere; and no system Of
handling wheat will be satisfactory to
the farmer that does not pay him a re-
munerative price for his wheat"
These were the abrupt ideas express
ed by business man thoroughly quail
flied to advance judgment on the par
ticular subject that he discussed.
The inspection of grain by state Of
f1cials has undoubtedly in the past
given to Minnesota a reputation for its
product In wheat not enjoyed by any
other commonwealth of the Union. The
climate is especially adapted to the
growing of wheat and It's seasoning. It
has come to pass that laws have to be
enacted in order to graduate the prod
uct to facilitate It's sale at it's highest
prices for milling and export. The law
as originally framed gave to certain
men, who should receive their appoint
ment to office, an arbitrary power which
ought not to be conferred anywhere
with the temptation that must neces-
sarily exist in dealing with so impor-
tant a matter.
Mr.. Pillsbury, in the interview above
mentioned, frankly declared that he
could not see chow wheat can be han
died in large quantities to be shipped
out Of the state without being graded ("
His theory on this point brings us back
to his earlier expressions quoted above,
to the effect that until men are all
honest and skillful there are bound to
be mistakes made somewhere"
The skill involved requires on the
part of an inspector a knowledge Of
