THE St. Paul Globe says that wheat
inspection is of no value to the farmer
because the farmers sell the wheat be-
fore it is inspected. AS usual the Globe
misses the bull's'eye by the size of the
entire target. The value of State in
spection' is in the fact that after the
wheat passes into the hands of the first
buyer it then becomes subject to State
inspection, and is sold according to the
grade made by the inspector. Bv a
uniform system of inspection and one
which is credited at the ultimate
market the system of buying is much
simplified, and the exporter or manu-
facturer knows just what he is getting
without seeing the grain. But if the
grades once become irregular and dis
credited the first buyer will be afforded
an excuse for scaling his price, repre-
senting to the farmer that he must al
low margin on the chance of the
cargo being graded down at the ulti-
mate market Up to the present time
Minnesota grades have been uniform.
and invariably accepted by the large
buyers. Any failure on, the part of
the new inspection bureau to maintain
the credit of Minnesota grades will
mark the substantial demolition of the
entire system, and return to the
primitive plan Of selling your wheat
for what it is worth on sample. ~,

YuLE-TIDE AT BLENHEIM.
How an American Girl Makes
Christmas in an English Palace.

At Blenheim, the home of the Duke
and Duchess of Marlborough, ancient
and modern Christmas customs are
pleasantly blended by the force of the
American ideas and dollars which now
revive SO notably the gala spirit Of the
natal season. Both the Duke and
Duchess have regard for the traditions
of the past. and they keep the days of
cheer with all the old-time hospitality,
freshened with modern innovations.
For centuries Christmas day at Blen-
helm has been a notable occasion for
the servants. tenants and adherents to
the wide estates; but since the coming
of the new chatelaine of the palace
there has been added to the observance
genuine sympathy and personality
which lend new spirit to the celebra-
ton. The Christmas tree. thirty feet
in hight, is erected in the great audit
room. and on it and about it are placed
the multitude of gifts for the children
of the seven demesne towns round
about. over which the Marlborough do
main extends. Seven hundred chill
dren and their relatives are sometimes
entertained at the palace, and yet Its
year the Duchess had 1.200 half pound
bags of sweets put up for her little
friends. and when Christmas day was
done there was not one left. You
should come out from London on
Christmas morning, sir" said faith
full retainer on their estates. His
Grace and the Duchess have ready
loaded up a great van, heaped with all
sorts of gifts, and they follow the van
all through it's rounds in their own
carriage. to give out the things them
selves instead of sending them, as you
might think such high-born persons
would do. sir. And would you believe
it, sir, Her Grace knit with her own
hands a shawl for the little sick boy
next door!"-Edward Page CASTOR, In

A young woman, who has been an

discussing political questions or pfoph-
esying the effect of the Spanish war
upon our future history says the
"Watchman. (Bapt) Of Boston. Our
congregations hear far too little about
the sacredness Of the marriage rela-
ton, the mutual relations Of parents
and children, and the Importance Of
the integrity of family life to the
church and the State. We have lately
witnessed somewhat general express
sion against permitting a polygamous
Congressman to retain his seat in the
National House of Represen natives So
ber-minded men and women Justly feel
that to permit such a man to occupy
so exalted a position would be ma
tional disgrace; but we should bear in
mind that If Mr.. Roberts is unseated
only a step will have been taken
towards vindicating the dignity and
sanctity of the American home. Enc
mics nearer than Utah or Washington
are successfully attacking the family.
The lax sense Of the obligation involved
in marriage vows as witnessed by the
increase of divorces: the neglect OF
parental discipline and home training;
and the increasing pruriency of the
stage and of popular literature, are
some of the evils that awaken the grav-
est authorizations. The churches have
much to do in seeking to influence pub
lie opinion to the support and defense
of the noblest standards Of family
hfe.''
without entering into the debatable
question of the practicability of preach
ers occupying positions which laymen
may as worthily fill, we still insist"
says the Cumberland Presbyterian"
of Nashville, Tenn, that when it is
desirable to call a preacher to any
other than the pastoral office, than
which there could be none nobler, he
should be as good a preacher as posi-
BILE. 1t is entirely probable, too, that
the conscientious college President,
who is also a preacher, can do even
more good than he could as a pastor.
His audiences may not be so large nor
so varied, but the far-reaching results
may still be greater Our observa-
ton, too, is that, in our church at
least, the preacher-president the
preacher secretary, and other preach
ers in general church work, actually
preach as often from the pulpit as do
their brethren in pastorates; and surely
it is not undesirable that, since they
must preach so often, they shall be
preachers whom the people will hear
with pleasure and profit. In other
words, no one of them could be too
good a preacher"
