There has recently been consider
able interest attached to what is
known as macaroni wheat. This is a
cereal that is in great demand in the
United States and is imported at the
rate OF many millions of bushels a
year. For some occult reason it is not
raised to any extent in this country,
although the price is much above
that OF ordinary wheat.
The Reno Journal inquired last
week of Prof. Mcdowell OF the Ne
vada College OF Agriculture If any ex-
periments had been made on the ex-
pertinent farm with this variety of
wheat.
Prof. Mcdowell said: "We have
lately been trying what we believe
may be macaroni wheat. The grain
is twice as large as that OF ordinary
wheat and the head is peculiarly
shaped. While not q very free pro-
ducer it nevertheless seems well
adapted to this climate. 1t is some-
times known as mammoth goose
wheat, and is called by others man.
moth rye. 1t comes from Poland"
No experiments have yet been made
in milling the wheat. but there prob.
ably will be this season. Prof. Wilson
believes it to be the real macaroni
wheat.

BOOKS AT SHOW.
A PublisI,ers' Exhibi. for tho Pan-Amer-
loan ExDOsitIou,

loan Exposition.
1t is proposed to make under the
title of Publishers Exhibit in the De.
partment of Liberal Arts at the Pan
American Exposition, Buffalo, a col
lective exhibit of books and periodi-
calls. A space, sixteen by twenty feet
in floor area, facing an aisle and three
sides, will be surrounded by cases,
and be provided with tables in the
interior. The shelving in the wall
cases will furnish exhibit space for
books in any desired number. from
single volumes to the whole exhibit of
a publishing house. Cases glazed all
around will occupy the corners between
aisles. Large books and periodicals
may find places in the tables, If neCes-
sary in glazed cases. Space above wall
cases may be occupied with posters,
etc. The expense of this installation
will be borne by the occupants. and
will be both general and special. Cen
eral expense, such as the cost of floor
space. of installation. Of attendance and
janitor service will be divided among
all the occupants of the area in accord
ance with estimated benefit. Special
expenses, such as that of cases or ia
bles, or of shelf room in cases, will be
assessed pro rata of the cost of the
cases upon the special occupants there
OF. The articles shown will be labeled
tastefully and clearly. Each will be
eligible for award. A publisher who
wishes to occupy an entire case may
furnish his own, If conformable to the
general design. 1t is believed that the
method proposed will be economical Of
space and of expense, and that when
successfully carried into effect it will
be much more satisfactory than the re-
suits which would follow assignments
OF space to be occupied by separate
booths constructed by the several eX-
hibitors. Desk room will not be pro-
vided; sales and the soliciting of sub
scriptions will not be permitted.

Mrs. Mary Lemon of SO Java street,
Greenpoint, is the envy of her neigh
bors. While she was dressing a turkey
on Thanksgiving day there dropped
from its crop a glittering diamond.
Mrs. Lemon suspended the preparation
for dinner long enough to run to the
home of a neighbor and exhibit Ter
prize, the news of which soon spread
through the neighborhood, and for the
remainder of the day Mrs. Lemon was
kept busy exhibiting the diamond to
many admiring friends. The diamond
was taken yesterday to a jcwcIcr in
Manhattan avenue, who said it weigh
ed nearly a carat, was finely cut, of
excellent color, and worth about 500.
Mrs. Lemon bought the turkey at a
store in Franklin avenue, but the deal

Harsh Exterior.
The recently published letters of Bis
marck to his wife show that the Iron
Chancellor had the soul of a poet be-
meath the harsh exterior of the soldier
n statesman. The letters are idyllic
In their ~outpourings of tenderness and
in their description of nature, while
the light, graceful touches of philoso-
ply regarding human affairs show that
a nature of velvet was incased in steel.
These short but expressive letters
written by Bismarck undoubtedly show
the man, while his public record shows
the machine. Yet the public will
doubtless continue to judge the real
Bismarck by the standard Of the ar
titicial. The brief glimpse of the poet
philosopher. disclosed by the posthum-
GUS publication, will Dol be replaced
by the familiar picture of the IRON
handed h~elmsman, with no thought
beyond the course of the ship OF state.
Bismarck's life is not the only exam
pie of an inner suicide for the sake Of
state. Few public men cast off the
restraint that comes with prominence
In the sight of the people. They find
that 1t is easier to impress with the
owl-like mask of sternness or imper-
durability, rather than to give free
rein to fancy and expression. Lincoln
was one of those rare beings whose
simplicity of soul and whose tenderly
humorous view of life could not be
kept back by the dignity of statesman
shin, His inner life was not n sealed
