Y; Japanese, 60; Eurasians, 100; Euro
peans, 1872. The small relative percent
age of deaths among Europeans is attrib-
uted to the European blood and stamina,
to their early treatment; and to conf

ants.
An interesting suggestion as to the
cause of the prevalence of this disease
among the Indians and Chinese is offered
by DR.. Charles W. Dabney, Jr., formerly
assistant secretary of agriculture to the
effect that 1t may be because these peo-
pies are SO badly fed living on rice and
other grains. which contain very little
protein. AS compared with wheat, oats,
Indian corn and rye, by the protein
standard, rice is poor food. Additional
credence may be given to this theory
from the fact that plague so often ac-
companies famine.-Boston TRANSCRIPT.

DIR. HELD's COSTLY NAP.

DR.. r. Johnston Held, new York sci
enlist, a few nights ago completed type
written page 6,532 of treatise on dis
eases of the eye, ear and nose, upon
which he had been working for years,
and which, it was expected, would bring
fame and fortune to the author Then he
sat back in his chair and enjoyed a
smoke. He fell off into a nap, and while
mapping hic cigar ignited the cloth of the
table upon which he had placed his man
uscript. He was awakened by the smell
of burning paper. Before he could ex-
tinguish the flames his treatise was a
mass of ashes.

If the people do not back him up by
forming the organization which he de-
clared to be necessary. We shall await
the results of the June conference with
the keenest interest Upon it will
largely depend all further efforts to
promote the establishment of a sugar
association, embracing the whole col
ony. In the election of officers to con-
troll that association the broadest-
minded men we have should be chosen,
while it should be recognized that reas-
enable representation must be given to
each district in the general control of
the executive of the body. That this
will be done we have every hope, and,
as stated above, it rests now with the
manufacturers and farmers to do their
share of the work in sending delegates
to Bundaberg. not to talk only, but
with power to act on behalf of their
respective districts.-Queenslan Sugar

| OMAHA. Neb., August 3.-James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, is in
| the city on his way from Lincoln to
Sioux City to investigate the condition
of the corn crop of Western Iowa. The
Secretary left Washington several days
ago to make a personal inspection of
crop conditions and has visited several
of the more important producing
States. Speaking of his trip this morn
| ing, he said
Il decided to make a personal in
| spection of conditions in the corn and
wheat belt of the United States not so
much to get an idea of the percentage
| of damage as to investigate the cause
| of the present conditions and to discov
er, if possible, how to improve in the
| future. We have plenty of people in the
different parts of the country making
reports direct to Washington or to the
representatives of the Department in
the different States who can report the
percentage of damage correctly, and
we have travelling agents who make
reports to headquarters but l thought
would like to see the condition for
myself.
Corn is somewhat seriously injured
in all of the States of the corn belt;
how much, I cannot pretend to say Our
monthly bulletin, to be issued on Au-
gust 10, will give the per cent. You
people here are not going to starve; it
is only a question of how much money
you will put into the bank If l were
wheat instead of selling it at the pres
ent prices and l would feed wheat in
stead of corn at the present prices.
Il am little bit surprised that you
people here do not raise more sugar
beets as the soil and climate are suited
for that purpose. They will stand
drought well. There is not a farmer
in Nebraska doing anything as profit
able as the raising of sugar beets
would be, if the pulp We're fed to dairy
cattle and the sugar sold to factories.
Nebraska is not keeping pace with
other States In this matter. There is a
large increase all along the line We
now use 00,000,000 tons of sugar and
by-products, and the demand is con-
stantly growing. Other States are in
creasing their output very rapidly.
From memory and in round numbers
the following figures will show some
thing of the output Three years ago
we produced $4,000, 900 tons; two years
ago 56,000,000 tons; last year $4,000 900
tons, and this year the prospects are
that we will produce = 100, 100000 tons.
There will be over forty factories run
ming this fall, and the demand is much
greater than the United States can
supply under it's flag, including all of 4
the islands, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines What we are now
making in the United States will not |
be more than half the amount consum-
ed in this country, so that for Nebras-
ka farmers this offers the best opening |

Annie Pie Order.

To feel in apple pie order is phrase
which dates back to Puritan times-to
a certain Hepzibah Merton. 1t seems
that every Saturday she was accus-
toned to bake two or three dozen ap-
pie pies. which were TO last her family
through the coming week. These she
placed carefully on her pantry shelves,
labeled for each day of the week, so
that Tuesdays pies might not be con-
fused with Thursdays nor those pre-.
sumably large or intended for washing
and sweeping days eaten when house
hold labors were lighter. Aunt Hep
zibahs apple pie order" was known
throughout the entire settlement and
originated the well known saying.

THE OLD FASHIONED BOY.

Oh, for a glimpse Of a natural boy
A boy with freckled face,
With forehead white meath tangled hair
And limbs devoid of grace;
Whose feet toe in, while his elbows flare;
Whose knees are patched all ways;
Who turns as red as a lobster when
&. You give him a word Of praise;
A boy who's born with an appetite,
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To eat his "piece" with resounding smack,
Who isn't gone on himself;
'Robinson Crusoe' reading boy,
Whose pockets bulge with trash,
Who knows the use of rod and gun
And where the brook trout splash.
It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair
With his hat on his tousled head
That his hands and feet are everywhere,
For youth must have room TO spread,
But he doesn't dub his father cold man"
Nor deny his mothers call
Nor ridicule what his elders say
Or think that he knows it all.
A rough and wholesome natural boy
OF good old fashioned clay
God bless him. If he's still on earth,
For he'll make a man some day.

W d Howells applies himself in the
North American Review to a problem
which has puzzled many observers OF cur
rent literature. Why is it that short
stories are so popular in magazines and
so unpopular in bound volumes. 1t is
the short stories that make periodical
sell. but if dozen of these same short
stories are put into well. bound book
the public will have none of 1t. Mr.
Howells thinks the fact that the reader
feels an intellectual Jolt in turning from
one story to the next. Ii is trying to
get interested in one set of people and
on the next page tn be precipitated INTO
the company of total strangers. and the
reader who takes his fiction as a soda
tive or anodyne declines to make the
effort. while in the magazine this is ex.
pacted, the book itself involves the idea
OF continuity.
