Literary Thrift.

Grant Allen, the critic and novelist,
had to live by his pen because scientific
work would not support him; but sci
ence was the field in which he should
have wrought. Andrew Lang said of
him that he was the most versatile man
of our age, and that, if he had been
able to devote himself entirely to physi-
cal science, the world would have been
the gamer.
He was always poor, and as he once
said about his own letters:
81 am so often i'll that moments fit for
writing are too precious to be used for
anything but breadwinning."
Once, in conversation with some
friends, he gave jocular turn to this
thrifty philosophy. He was in company
with three philologists, Canon Isaac
Taylor, Prof. Rhys and DR.. Richard
Morris, when the talk fell on the num-
Der Of words used by country working
folk in their common pursuits.
Prof. Max Muller was cited as author
ity for the statement that the vocabu-
larry Of some agricultural laborers con-
sists of less than three hundred words.
Allen challenged the statement, and be-
gan, in his measured, sonorous tones,
recounting all the things and the parts
Of things with which a peasant has to
deal every day. He had reached the
stated limit before the list was half
complete, and he SUDDENLY called out:
Look here, you fellows! My price
is two guineas thousand words, and
I'm not going on any longer!''

Weld in detail is estimated as follows:
1901
Tots .75o,a51, 900 1855, ooo, 1000 1865 ooo, 900

The general average as to quality IS
1871 per cent, as compared with S5.5 per
cent in November last and S7.2 per cent
in November, 1899. It is estimated that
4.5 per cent of the corn crop of 1900 was
still in the hands of farmers on Nov. l.,
1901, as compared with A per cent of
the crop of 1899 in farmers hands on
Nov. l, 1900, and 90 per cent Of that
of 1898 in hand November, 1899. Pres
ent stocks are 93,O0O,O0O bushels, com
pared with 81 ,432 900 bushels last year.
Preliminary estimate of the yield per
acre of potatoes is 500 bushels, against
an average yield per acre of sos bushels
In 1900 1876 bushels in 1899, and a ten
year average of 1871 bushels. The pres
ent indicated yield per acre is the lowest
since 1890. OF the States having $4,000
acres or upward in potatoes, all except
Michigan and Maine report a yield per
acre comparing unfavorably with their
ten-year averages. Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska report less
than one-half and Missouri less than one
fourth Of an average crop. The average
as to quality is 1874 per cent, as COM
pared with ISL per cent in November
last and Ola per cent in November, 1899
The preliminary estimate of the aver
age yield per acre of hay is 1872 tons,
against an average yield of 1.2S tons in
1900, 1.35 tons in $780, and a ten-year
average of 1913 tons. While more than
three-fourths of the forty-seven States
and territories for which comparative
data are available report yield per acre
in excess of their respective ten-year av-
erages, such important States as Illinois,
iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska. South
Dakota, Texas and Arkansas are all in
cluded in the region reporting less favor
ably. The average as to quality is 91.3
per cent, against 1871 per cent in No
vember last and 93.9 per cent in No
vember, 1899. The sweet potato crop is
above the ten-year average.
The apple crop is considerably below
the ten-year average, and the pear and
grape crops are slightly below.
OF the fifteen principal tobacco States,
nine, including Kentucky, Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee, report an aver
age yield per acre of tobacco in excess of
their ten-year averages, while six, in
Guiding Ohio. Wisconsin and Missouri,
fall below such averages.
