northern prices for wild goose macaroni
wheat, which was formerly invariably re-
Jected. 1t has been the theory of the
millers that these wheats contain gluten
in too large quantities for making good
bread. 1t is also difficult to mill, be-
cause of the hard grain, and its flour has
been found gritty and too coarse to COM
pete with that of other wheats.
Macaroni whcats differ radically from
the ordinary bread wheats and in the
field look more like barley than wheat.
Thu thorough establishment of this in
dustry will do much for the scmi-arid
plains. A million or more of acres can
thus be given to profitable wheat rais-
ing which, on account of drought, have

itably employed. The farmers of the

Just now as we came in off the street, we

flying a feather for kite. The feather
was net more than two inches long and
an inch wide at the flaring end. He had
thread tied to 1t in two places. OF course
the feather did not fly much, but the boy
amused himself with it for more than five
minutes that We watched him. There were
no other ch ldren about, and he never said
a word. Never complained when it did not
fly, or expressed any ordinations OF JOY
when ii did.
These Filipino boys will fly most any
thing. A leaf out of book, a leaf of a
tree, piece Of newspaper. a beetle. or a
bee-a locust or a bird. For making and

The Abused Double Negative.

From Harper's Magazine.
An idiom may defy logic. Take the double
negative, for example. A boy says, IT
hadn't had no time to get my lesson" His
language may be Objectionable, but his
meaning is undoubted. The teacher under
stands It he intends her to understand
1t. but she has heard that two negatives
make an affirmative, and she retorts: "Ah.
you mean that you have had some timei
You have said the opposite Of what YOU
mean" The laugh is on the boy-if he can
be laughed out of his double negatives, so
much the better. Yet the teacher Is wrong.
The two negatives In his sentence do not
make an affirmative for they are neither so
meant nor are they so taken by the nearer.
According to very old English idiom, one
negative strengthens another. The idiom
has ceased to be good English, but it has
not changed it's meaning The boy is in
fault because he Is using an obsolete idiom
which has become vulgar, not because his
language means the opposite of what 1t was
meant to express.

along the road, where barbed wire is used.
The average paddock contains 800 acres
but there are many which are larger. Some

Out of the millions of sheep owned in New
South Wales the greater number are kept in

GREAT CORK FORESTS.
Home Of the Evergreen Oak in Spain
and Portugal.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
The cork forests of Spain cover an area
OF $4,000 square miles. producing the finest
cork in the world. These forests exist in
groups and cover wide belts of territory
those in the region of Catalonia and part of
Barcelona being considered the first in i'm
portance. Although the cork forests Of
Estremadura and AndaIusia yield cork of
a much quicker growth and possessing some
excellent qualities its consistency is less
rigid and on this account it does not enjoy
the high reputation which the cork of
Catalonia does.
In Spain and Portugal, where the cork
tree, or Quercas suber, is indigenous, it at
tains to a height varying from thirty-fiye
to sixty feet and the trunk to diameter Of
thirty to thirty-six inches. This species Of
the evergreen oak Is often heavily capari-
soned with wide-spreading branches clothed
with ovate oblong evergreen leaves, downy
underneath and the leaves slightly serrated
Annually, between April and May it pro-
duces flower of a yel1owish color succeed
ed by the acorns. Over 10000 square miles
in Portugal are devoted to the cultivation
Of cork trees, though the tree virtually
abounds in every part of the country.
The methods in vogue in barking and
harvesting the cork in Spain and Portugal
are virtually the same. The barking opera
ton Is effected when the tree has acquired
sufficient strength to withstand the rough
handling it receives, during this operation
which takes place when it has attained the
fifteenth year Of its growth. After the first
stripping the tree Is left In this juvenescent
state to regenerate. subsequent strippngs
being effected at Intervals Of not less than
will continue to thrive and bear for upward
of $50 years. ar re

called "gaunghaung." Some young dare
devils attach prickly bushes to long bam-
boo poles. and when the mail train passes
they yell out, which causes the native pas
sengers to stick their heads out of the car
riage windows. The train Is then raked
from end to end by means Of the scrubby
poles, with the result that the Burman
male passengers are deprived of their
gaungbaungs. Some twenty-seven silk
head-dresses were thus acquired by the
young scamps in one night
