OLDEST MASON IN THE WORLD.

Surrounded by three generations OF
children. Mr.. Adna Adams Treat on
April celebrated his one hundred and
second birthday anniversary Besides
the distinction of being the patriarch
OF Denver, Col. he is conceded to be
the Oldest living Master Mason In the
United States. and probably In the
world. Old as he is. his mind is clear
and events which stirred the nation
three-seore years ago are as bright In
his memory as those OF yesterday.
All day he received the many friends
who called upon him in his room at
the residence of his daughter. Mrs. N.

MT Adams was not forgotten by his
brother Masons in his old home in
Troy, N. Y. nor even BY the Grand
Lodge OF Colorado From the former
was received a lengthy telegram ex-
pressing congratulations and from the
latter letter came full OF solieitude
for his future welfare and containing
many beautiful tributes TO this aged
exponent OF the order.
Mr.. Treat was born at Hartford.

sitting at window a short distance

And Lilly. looking up and meeting
the mild eyes OF her kind friend fixed
upon her. blushed. and said:
1T has now been three weeks since
you received me under your roof, and
think by tomorrow will be able to
return to my room and resume my
sewing, which i quilted so suddenly"
Never mind that now. Lilly; We
will speak about that some other time;
for the present you will remain where
you are"
Percy, who was coming In at the
door, ard heard Lilly's remark and his
mothers reply, said:
NO, Miss Clare, we cannot spare
the sunshine from our home. now that
we have once got It here"
And Lilly, finding all hearts ready
to receive her. remained.
A few days after, when Lilly was
sitting at the window that opened into
the garden, she heard her two friends
talking together.
And SO. Percy, you intend to get
married, do your"
Yes. mother, If can get the young
lady's consent"
Lilly waited to hear no more; that
was enough to let her know that deep
| down in her heart she loved Percy; and
sinking down on her knees she prayed
for strength TO battle with that love;
for was he not going to marry an
other?
Then. hearing a step coming, she
arose and bathed her face. just as
knock was heard at her door.
Opening the door, she found Mrs.
Monroe there. with message from her
son, requesting her TO come down TO
the sitting-room.
And Lilly. walking as one In a
trance, went down.
Percy, standing at the window, look
ing out. did not seem to notice her at
first And Lilly hesitated
and said in low tone:
Mr.. Monroe, did you wish to see
me?"
He turned, and reaching out both
hands said:
Yes, Lilly. darling. do wish to see
you; l want to tell you how much
love you, and to ask you to be my
wife"
l think Lilly's answer must have
been very satisfactory, to Judge from
the happy faces that came into the
room.
A short time after there was quiet
wedding at home, and peace and con-
tent seem to hang like curtain about
Lilly and her husband, because they do
not forget TO do good unto one of the
least.

3,ooo,ooo,ooo BUSHELS WHEAT
The Amount Required to Feed the
World for Year.


While the world--thanks to the
fields of North Ameriea-has probably
grown in 1889 the greatest crop Of
wheat ever harvested as one result OF
the depletion Of American herds and
the devotion of an otherwise impossi-
BILE ten million acres to wheat pro-
duction, says Self-Culture, yet We must
not lose sight of the fact that, while
the years harvest probably exceeds the
great world crop of 1894 by some 15.-
100000 bushels, requirements have in
creased by more than 100, 1000 900 BUSH
els, and that the product of the har-
vest of 1889 was drawn Upon month
earlier than usual, in order TO exc ou.
defective supplies from the harvest OF
1s97-S-that is, while the world harvest
of 1889 appears to be some 5o,0oo.00o
bushels greater than the greatest pre-
ceding one, yet 1t is defective by rca-
son OF great increase in require
ments since 1894, as well as BY the
fact that 1t must meet the needs OF
thirteen instead Of twelve months.
Basing an estimate of requirements for
the 1883 harvest upon the known in
crease of population and the consump-
ton OF recent years. as indicated by
estimates, mostly official, of production
in such years. the "bread-eating' pop
ulations of European lineage inhabit-
ing Europe, the United States, Canada.
Australasia, Argentina, Uruguay, Chill.
South Africa, Siberia, and the whites
OF the island and tropical colonies OF
Europe will need some 1850, 5000 900
bushels of wheat, plus the 100. 000. 900
OF more bushels required to cover the
thirteenth month. Accepting the high
est reputable estimate of the outturn OF
the 1889 harvest in the regions
named and adding 100000 bushels
of possible imports from southern Asia
and northern Africa. the available sup
ply aggregates 2,SSo.000,o00 bushels
Granting that these estimates are ap.
proximately correct. 1t will lie neces-
sary to make anticipatory drafts upon
the harvest of 1899 for about 140. 000.-
600 bushels, showing that even with
the largest outturns the accumulation
OF reserves to tide over such defective
harvests as that OF 1897 is no longer
possible, the power to make such &C
cumulations having disappeared in tho
absence of acreage increases proper
toned to the increase of the consum-
ing populations.

Hair Turned from white to Black.


There have been several instances
Of mans hair turning from white
to black. One of the most notable,
perhaps, was that of an engineer in
the fire department of Louisville. KY.
His age was 65, and he was on duty
during a tremendous fire for fifteen
consecutive hours. The spray was con-
stantly flying from the hose, and he
became, in consequence of the low
temperature of the atmosphere, COW
cred from head to foot with ice. He
wore skull cap and a helmet on top
Of that,so that his head was the warm
est part Of his body and not at all
exposed. though his eyebrows and
whiskers became wet and were frozen
stiff. The afternoon after the ex-
posture his hair. which had become
gray eight years before, and for three
years had been white, turned perfect
ly black.

LILLY CLARE.



IT was bleak December day, and
the wind pierced every nook and crew
Ice OF the old attic room where Lilly
Glare sat bending over a piece OF sew
Ing that would bring her small re-
compense and SO keep starvation from
her door few days longer.
The last stitch was taken. and Lilly
raised her pale but beautiful face, and,
,lasping her hands together, said:
ooh, what dreary life for one so
young.' 1t is stitch, stitch. from morn
ing until night. and then l can scarce

may, God has given me life, and with
His help ! viii do my best to take

So Lilly arose, and, putting on her
wrapping that had seen better days"
started out in the bleak wind to take
her sewing home.
Lilly's father had been wholesale
liquor merchant, and some heavy in
vestment brought him to ruin; and,
not wishing TO face his creditors, the
next morning he was found dead in his
chair, and her mother, broken
COON followed. And Lilly was left
alone to battle with the world.
Lilly, who was very earnestly think
ing as she was crossing the street, did
not heed the span of gray horses that
\ came tearing down the street until too
late; she was knocked down, and the
carriage wheels had passed over her.
A crowd gathered around her, some
saying:
p "Oh, she is dead!" And others: mo,
she has only tainted"
A gentleman standing by stepped
forward and requested the crowd to
give way; then raising her in his arms
he carried her into a drug store on
the corner.
He laid her on a sofa and withdrew
while DR.. Herbert, who was in the
store, did all in his power to bring hel
back TO life.

TONS OF ALMONDS. EATEN.
Besides This, There Are Various Other
 Ways in Which They Are Used

There are, roughly speaking, 21.000,- 900 pounds Of almonds consumed in the
 United States each year, some eaten
 with raisins. some used in the manu-
 faeture of candy, some ground for cream and fiavoring extracts. and some, of an inferior quality. used for perfumery and soap. The state of Cal ifornia produces abuut 14,OOO ,0O0 pounds of almonds in a ear. or two thirds cl the amount required for do~ mes5ic consumption, and the other almonds are imported from European countries. from which, until a few years ago. all the almonds were sent The figures of almond importations for the fiscal year 1898 show importations
 of about 100000 pcu-.!s. Of this amount 1, 4,500,0 comes from Spain 1 300 600 from Italy, chiefly from Sic- fly, and the balance from Greece and
 Portugal.
 Cccoanuts Of the value of about $500, 900 a year are imported into the
 United States from foreign countries, or from countries which were under foreign jurisdiction at the time of the last annual treasury report. Before the beginning of the Cuban war of in dependence the importation of cCcoa~ nuts from Cuba into. the United States
 was to the value of above S200,000 a year. With the beginning of the year lit de-linad, and under the present tariff the duty on cocOanuts further reduced the importation from Cuba, though large increase in the shipment Of CO., ccnnuts further reduced the impOTta- tion from Cuba. though a large in crease in the shipments of cCcoanuts is expected this year under American jurisdiction in Cuba and Porto Rico. The competition of American with for eign Cocoanuts, the latter from the West Indies and South American states, has been mere active than in the case of almonds. for the reason that the chief source of supply of American cccCanuts is Florida, which is in clcser proximity to the New York market The annual product of Flor ida cocoanuts amounts to 7,O0O,00O pounds. of the value Of about $3OO,000 3 year. and the conditions as to all mon5y5 and cocoanuts are in this par ticular reversed California produces just twice as many almonds as are i'm ported into the United States. whereas Florida produces just one-half as many cceoanuts as are imported.-Boston Transcript.
