JAPS NOT SAVING.
Country People Given to Luxurious
4tS Mode OF Living. SsS# t5 3

4 Rs }gj. 5a735 "a Mode of Living. S# n r
The governor Of the Bank Of Japan
said that during his trip of forty days
through the country he had heard
many complaints of depression Of
trade, but what struck him strangely
was the fact that the greater portion
Of the masses did not appear to be suf-
fering. On the contrary, he had found
the country people given to a luxuri=
GUS mode of living, a circumstance
which impressed him with the justice
of Count Inouye's appeal for thrift and
diligence: At Balkan and Wakamatsu
he saw in the shops japanese clogs
selling for seven yen ($3.50) a, pair
and soaps five yen ($2.50) a cake. In.
Kumamoto the people at large did not
appear to know the nature or even the
very existence of savings banks. Mr..
Yamamoto told an interesting story to
illustrate this point. Last year a GER
tain banker had Informed the speaker
of farmer who came to bank in
Kumamoto to deposit sum Of 10000
yen. The transaction resulted in the
mutual aStOn1Shment OF the depoSltor
and the bank. When the bank had in
formed him that it would pay an in
terest Of 6 per cent, the farmer looked
astonisehed, for it had been his prac-
tice hitherto to keep the money in a
strong warehouse, guarded by two
watchmen during the night. He had
evidently been prepared to pay charg-
es to the bank for the: trouble, as he
thought, of keeping his money for
him. By this incident, coupled with
the fact that a sum of about f8,o0o,oo0
yen in gold specie had myster1ously
disappeared from our economic world
during the last two or three years, he
was led to the conjecture that the
missing money must be secretly stored
in the houses Of provincial people

Varieties of Wheat.

The comparison Of new and standard
varieties of wheat begun by the Penn
sylvania experiment station in 1887
has been continued through the pres
ent season. All the, varieties were
badly injured by winter killing and
the Hessian fly. The yield was there
fore very low in comparison with other
years. The five varieties giving the
highest yield were: s:. = Sc

Apple Prospects in n1fsseurI.

s Apple Prospects in NIfsseuri.
T. a. Goodman, Secretary OF the
1 Missouri State horticultural society
has been gathering reports on the con-
#oltion OF the apple prospect in that
state. He has compiled answers from.
500 correspondents in "a counties.
Under date OF 4 August TO- he says: I
have delayed this report later than
I s usual SO as to- get as late report as
possible. Rains have been abundanti
in most local ities and the apples have
made a fine growth, many apples being:
as large now as they were at gath
.ering time last year. Generally speak
/ ing the fruit is IN good condition:
much better than usual. The crop of
the state will average about one-half
and that will mean a good many APP
pies. Orchards have been injured ia
some localities by canker worms, by
grasshoppers by drouth, or from the
effects of the cold February OF 1899.
We can safely count on only one-half
OF the crop to be merchantable ap-
pies, and hence we may expect fair
prices for them.

II a canal were constructed across
the isthmus by the Nioaraguan route
it is an interesting speculation how
long it would probably ,ast. Professor
Heilprin, a leading authority in the
general field OF geology, expresses some
disquieting doubts on this point. In
4 paper recently read before a promi-
nent Eastern scientific society he dis
cusses the question Of the permaneney
Of the proposed canal in a way that
challenges attention. In the first place
he points out that the Nicaragua route
is in a line OF peculiar "crux,al weak
ness" in which are a large number Of
volcanoes, some now active and some
active within recent period. and that
this region has been in comparatively
ret ent years the scene Of some Of the
most catAclysmal disturbances on rec
ord. There Is no evidence. no reason
10 believe that the volcanic activity Of
the region is extinct. Further. the geo
logical formation Of the Pacific side Of
The isthmus gives evidence Of recent
changes and there Is no certainty that
these changes are complete. There is
sOne evidence that the surface Of Lake
Nicaragua has fallen very materially
since it was first observed. with a con-
tinued tendency to depression. The
san Juan river is known TO be shallow
ing in parts and the sediment brought
down by its greatest affiuent makes It's
future very questionable. There are
other points Of a similar character
derived from comparison Of vast
number Of surveys and reports and
raising questions which. Professor
Heilprin says. have not been sufficient

JUSTICE TO GENERAL WHEELER.

Il is not creditable to the democrats
that a number of their leaders in con-
gress are opposed not only 20 the ad-
mission of General Wheeler to his seat
in the house. to which he was unani-
mously elected by the people Of his dis
trict. but also to his retirement as a
.brigadier general in the army
At the time that General Wheeler
was elected to the present congress
he held commission in the army. and
It is fair to assume that he could not
hold the two offices Of general and rep
resentative; but there nave been many
instances in which men have been
chosen to congress who at the time Of
their election held military OF official
civil positions which were incompati-
bic with the Office of Congressman.
General Wheeler resigned his Office
as major general of volunteers before
the meeting of the present congress.
The fact that ne continued in the ser
vice Of his country at the front Of the
fighting line for several months there
after should go to his credit and not
BE- an ofrense to men Of any political
faith. According to the preeedents Of
the house. General Wheeler is as fully
entitled 10 be qualified as a member
today as we're any of the present mem
bers when they qualified as represen-
tatives.
II has been suggested that General
Wheeler should be authorized by con-
gress TO be retired as brigadier-gen-
erai Of the regular army, and IL he de-
slres to accept such position it should
be awarded to him by a unanimous
vote. He has fairly earned IT as one
prominent confederate commander who
was at the forefront of the firing line
both in Cuba and in the Philippines.
He could wen have avoided military
service: his age and his position would
