ADecIdedIy Novel Claim.

a claim once made on the explorer,
Cameron, in the neighborhood of Ga
boon, Africa, shows the pecnliar work
ings of the native Afr can mind.
Some of Cameron's possessions proved
unduly attractive TO a native, and he
determined on transferring the owner
ship to himself. He accordingly paid
another native 5000 to procure for him
the coveted goods.
The assistant took the money and did
his best to earn it. but Mr.. Cameron
had perversely locked up the very arti-
cles that the fellows employer had set
his heart upon. The man could not car
ry out his bargain, and neither did he
feel that he could part with the money.
Therefore he ran off with it. What
more logical than that the man who
was the loser by 5000 should expect the
explorer to make the loss good? This he
assuredly did expect.
He went to Mr.. Cameron and told
him the story, demanding in the first
place the 5000 which he, Cameron, by
locking up his goods, had compelled the
complainant to lose, and, secondly. the
actual price of the goods themselves,
which, but for these arbitrary measures,
would now have been in his possession.
1t is not stated that his expectations
were realized. .-Wafchman.

One of the most exciting events
of the present session of the Fifty
fifth Congress viii probably be the
fight that will be waged for the
passage of the bill introduced in
the Senate by Senator Hanna for
the upbuilding of our shipping in
the foreign trade through a gradu
ated scale of government aids, sim
liar in their amount to those now
paid by foreign governments to
their merchant marine. 1t is said
that the bill will not tarry long in
the House, but that the arena of
hot and extended debate will be the
Senate. If patriotism counts for
more than partisanship, the bill
will finally pass and be promptly
signed by President Mckinley.
The development of the tin plate
manufacturing will pale into insig-
nifcance alongside of the accom-
plishments of such bill as Sena-
ator Hanna's.

sternr.r DertItutIon.

Laurence Sterne, the writer, was the
victim of the intensest poverty. A little
time before his death, being in state
of destitution, he went one evening TO
borrow Go from his friend GarriCk.
Upon arriving, he heard music and
knew that party was going on. He
heard the merry laughter, and, gently
replacing the uplifted knocker, retraced
his steps.
We never feel our miseries SO keenly
as when contrasted with the joys of
others, and it is only then that we re-
alize Wordsworth's picture:
And homeless near a thousand homes stood
And near Thousand tables pinned for food.
Another story of this writer does not
evoke so much sympathy. 1t was known
that Sterne used his wife very i'll, and
in talking with Garrick one day in fine
sentimental style of conjugal love and
fidelity he said, 1.-THE husband who be-
haves unkindly to his wife deserves to
have his house burn down over his
head"
"If you think so,' said Garrick
quietly, 81 hope yours is we'll insured. -

One day he was seated at a table in a

might have some SPORT with the poor

When he paused, the mad poet leaned
forward and said with evident gratifica-

"Sir, 1 am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see. "
The young man stared at him with

A Malay sultan.uL Letter.

In the cover there were three inclo-
sures-a formal letter of extreme polite
ness, written by a scribe; secondly, a
letter written in my friends own hand
and thirdly, another paper. headed,
"Hidden Secrets" written also in the
sultan's own hand. At the top of the
first page of the second letter is writ
ten, "Our friendship is sealed in the
inmost recesses of my heart" Then
this, II send this letter to my honored
and renowned friend" (here follow my
name. designation and some conven-
tional oOmpliments). The letter then
continues: "You, my dear friend, are
never out of my thoughts, and they are
always wishing you we'll. i hear that
you are coming TO see me, and for that
reason my heart is exceedingly glad, as

Few people have any definite idea Of
the wneat producing capacity of the
world or OF their own country. but Sir
William Orookes' recent doleful fears
that the world would soon be unable TO
feed itself have been met by compe-
tent authority in Mr.. Edward Atkinson.
Sir William declared that the world Is
supply of wheat was 3, 600, 900, 900
bushels, and that in 80 years the de-
paand will increase /, ,270, 900. 900 BUSH
els. and by that time all the arabic
land in the world will be in use, and he
saw no prospect of producing the
bushels additional that would be requir-
ed by the world. Mr.. Atkinson points
out that two-thirds Of the land in
America, without counting Alaska. is
susceptible of cultivation, and that on
one-tenth of it enough wheat can be
grown to feed the whole world. AT
present America produces from 600, 900.
900 to 700. 900, 900 bushels. about one
third of the total consumption. on
q fraction of about 2 per cent of its soil
He shows that Minnesota and the two
Dakotas this year produced 100. 900. 00C
bushels. or more than enough to meet
the English deficit. This amount wa:
grown on 90, 900 square miles, or one
eighth of the arabic land of those states
In other words. if Minnesota and thu
two Dakotas were to go into wheat pro
duction TO their full capacity they
would double the amount now raised by
the whole United States. which would
be four -fifths of the worlds presen
consumption. These are startling
glimpses of the resources OF America
and nobody dares to dispute them.
