him, but not long after wheat harvest
he gave US an example OF what he had
learned by keeping his ears open. He
had heard the farmers talking about
wheat sweating and had drawn his
own conclusions He knew that the
wheat after being thrashed was put in
bins and that II was IN these bins that
the wheat usually sweated- Being q wise
man he would not ask any questions
concerning the way they avoided this.
but determined to follow a common sense
plan which he had figured out IN his
own head. He had the wheat piled on
big pieces Of canvas and let It stand
there He did not tell any one why he
did 1t. but just ordered it done and look
u wise. one morning It looked like rain
and one Of his neighbors who was great
BY interested IN the wheat piles went over
to the mans farm TO see how he would
protect the wheat He found that all
over the wheat WAS stretched mosquito
netting There were yards upon yards
order that IT might cover effectually all
the wheat. He could not refrain from
asking the man why the netting was
over the wheat In place Of oilcloth or
tarred canvas 1t was then that he
learned that the man had found out
that wheat sweated and that he did not
intend 10 let his wheat get hot enough
to sweat, so he had protected it with
mosquito netting. He Inquired that after
the rain plenty of air was what the
wheat needed. but he had also heard
that the wheat must be covered. he
struck what he thought was the only
way to completely covers all the require

GEO. w. JACKSON,
PRAISE FOR SALISBURY
On Account of His Recent Deal With
Germany.

New York, Oct. 23@The English press
with the exception Of the Times, which
is remarkably cool, continues to praise
Lord Salisbury for his astuteneSs in
drawing Germany into a dual alliance,
says the Tribune's London correspond
ent That Journals contention that Ger
many has gained great advanta ge from
the agreement without Offering q. quid
pro quo to England is supported by the
Berlin and Cologne press, which assumes
that the German emperor has scored
heavily. The St. James Gazette and
other journals reply that England has
granted nothing TO her new partner that
she was not willing to share with the
whole world in the Yangtse region and
elsewhere in the far east. If this agree
ment leads to the abandonment of the
insidious doctrine of spheres of in
f7uence.'' and the substitution for it Of
the open door, principle, the results OF
Salisbury's craftsmanship will not be
measured by the rule Of thumb notions
of compensation.
Some alarm is felt IN connection with
the abrupt action Of Lord Salisbury in
divulging the agreement with the re-
ported determination OF the Marseilles
municipality to receive Kruger with
official honors as president Of the Trans
vaal and also with the preparations for
bringing the second channel squadron
into commission. The Marseilles pro-
gramme has either been modified or dis

not know whether the better class OF
Chinese are in the movement to exter-

there were only three foreign families

family are happy to get back, their
homecoming is also tingled with sad
ness. as his father, lamented Mr.. David
G. Worth. and his brother. Mr.. James
S. Worth. have passed away.
DR.. Worth and his family would
have remained in China and brayed
the dangers. but. he said, it was no
