stuffs grown abroad. In view Of the:
difficulty Of obtaining the value Of
these in their converted form, Mr..
Crawford attempts to calculate the
acreage that would be necessary toy
produce an equal amount OF foodstuffs
at q home, finally adding this to the
area required to produce an equivalent
Of the imported supplies in wheat.
meat and milk. The total number Of
acres so obtained Is 22.s99.000, this
being considered distinctly moderate
estimate. Therefore, as the area now
under crops and grass is 1880, 900
acres, 1t is clear that we could not. as
has been thought possible by some, add
to our productive surface anything ap-
preaching the area represented by the
Imports Of wheat. meat and milk. On
the other hand. the law Of diminishing
returns precludes the possibility of any
large increase Of productivity through
radical changes In methods Of farms
ing. etc. At the end Of his paper Mr..
Crawford compares the state Of agri-
culture in the United Kingdom with
that prevailing In Belgium, Germany
and France, showing that there Is no
foundation for the idea that the first
named is able to nearly feed her people
from her own soil, and that, judged
from the standpoint Of productivity.
the system of farming In this country
is, II anything. superior to that Of Bel
GUM and far ahead Of those Of France
and Germany.

Injury from Da.t.

A close student Of the habits OF
swine and Of their diseases asserts
that much injury is done swine by the
dust that is allowed to form In feeding
yards and air passages to the lungs
to such an extent that mechanical
pneumonia is produced, from which a
good many deaths result. Neither
hogs nor any other animals should be
made to inhabit quarters where such
conditions exist. A man that keeps
his swine under the conditions mem
toned and finds his hogs getting what
is apparently pneumonia should
change the conditions at once as the
first step in treatment. Also when
hogs in such conditions. apparently
sick with pneumonia. are being treated
for the trouble. the dust II permitted
to continue It's work will most certain
~ offset anything that can be done
for their relief.

All About Patellaa. /.

There is a boy scholar in one of the
downtown grammar schools who has
set his teachers wondering whether he
is one of the unsophisticated students
of the age or real humorist. At re-
cent monthly examination, one of the
questions of physiology the pupils were
called upon to answer was: "What is
the patella, or knee pan?" The an
swer of the young innocent or joker
was as follows: 'The patellas, or knee
pants is trousers which extend from
the waist to the knee. and were worn
by grown-up men during George Wash
ington's administration. They are not
worn by men at the present time ex-
cept bicycle riders and men who play
golf, but are only worn by small boys.
Every boy is glad when he is old
enough to take off his patellas OF knee
pants and go into long pants which ex-
tend from the waist to the ankle

Tall "Bike" Story.

Somebody should make a collection
of cycling yarns. They would certain.
ly outvie the very finest of fishing sto-
ries. The latest I have heard recounts
how wheelman was riding in the
neigkborhood of Worcester after dark.
when brawny constable stopped him
and demanded to know why he was
riding without a light. Not a mo-
ment's pause elapsed before the cy.
clist framed his excuse:
"See that bicycle?" he said,~ pointing
on ahead to the glimmer Of a light in
the road. "Well. that machine is my
better half: it is part of the ma
chine. you understand. I was riding
tandem. when the parts became un-
glued; my wife rode ahead, not know
ing what had happened; when re-
covered my senses she was out Of
shouting distance"
The constable was. is is said, still
gaspiEg when the cyclist had got up to
twelve miles an hour.-London Sketch

Haunted Hollow.

Riznah went on for some time in 81
lence. putting aside the sweeping
branches and trailing vines that barred
the path as though they were but cob
webs in her way.
So swift and noiseless was her step
that she seemed to fit, rather than
walk. through the shadowy-green Wis
tas, that appeared to the doctor to
stretch before and around her in end

Indeed. more than once it occurred

was conducting him personally by an

"Of course-of course: fool to the

doctor. "And they carried her off, he
says. WHO has carried her off? Why

young madmen rushing off to now:"
And the old doctor. who was in that
eXcitable state Of mind peculiar to pie
thoric old gentlemen who find them
selves suddenly run out of their groove,
and left at the mercies Of rash. unre-

moss-grown log beside him and began
to mop his brow savagely.
But Fannies compOsure had given
way. She could explain no further.

herself upon the grass and sobbing pitt
eously. II can't believe it-I can't be-

and skillful. Save her-for loved hei
so: loved her so!'
And to all the old doctors questions
expostulations Fannie only sobbed out
the same pituful answer:
II loved her SOL loved her so!'
For more than an hour the young
men continued their search. and the i'm
patient old doctor was left to chafe in
helpless ignorance beside his sobbing
charge Then at last, Laurence Grey

was carried off, sir-carried of by the
miscreant who didn't want her death
laid at his door, and if there's law In

! this child home, sir,' continued the
doctor. rising. "She's half cracked, like
, all the rest of the young women now
