Introducing A New Cereal.

Professor Mark A. Carleton of
Manhattan, Kansas, the wheat ex-
pert of the department of agriculture,
has just completed bulletin, now
ready for distribution, on the success
full introduction in this country of
macaroni wheat. This variety of
wheat is remarkable on account of
it's excellent adaptation to regions of
intense heat and drought, and to
soils that are considered alkaline.
For centuries this wheat has been
grown in South Russia, Turkestan,
North Africa, Italy and Greece, but
for some reason no one thought of
trying 1t in this country until Pro-
lessor Carleton introduced 1t here on
his return from Europe few years
ago. This is the. wheat from which
macaroni is made, and, whereas the
United States was, several years ago,
importing macaroni and macaroni
-four to the extent of thousands of
dollars worth annually from the ports
of the Black and Mediterranean seas,
last year 100, 600 bushels of this
wheat was produced in the west, a
goodly portion of it IN Kansas, and
the mills are now grinding it, both
for home consumption and export.
1t has proven a great success in the
arid regions of the west, and this

be very much larger than that of last

form the subject matter of the present
book
The early history of Como is thus
briefly outlined in one of the earlier
chapters, in a way which shows at once
what the attraction of the place must
be to the tradition loving traveller. The
author says in part:
Ancient Italian chroniclers, leisurely
discursive in the treatment of history
through musty volumes on library
shelves, trace the settlement of Como to
Comerus. the ancestor of Japeth, one
hundred and thirty years after the Del
uge. Still another version is the
founding of the place by a certain Ante
more, who also built Padua after the
destruction of Troy. A further infer
ence is that the Etruscans. in sending
forth twelve colonies to build cities
from the Pc TO the Alps. traced these
boundaries as well. A first group of
habitations, round in shape, constructed
of interlaced branches. or reeds. with
matched roof. expanded in time to

republic. The town, shown favor by

is book which describes at some length
the Italian lake country. 1t is a study
of Lake Como as the birthplace of
Pliny the Younger. and of one of the
enchanted regions of the world as it ap-
pears to affectionate pilgrims.
The illustrations are fully equal to the
text, and that is saying something. Sew
eral charming views of Lake Como are
among them, and there are also street
scenes and pictures of characteristic
peasant types.
There was a time when the italian
lake country was better known to the
general public than it is now. During
the twenty-five years preceding the civil
war, one of the ambitions of the culti-
waited American was to see Italy. The
beauty of Italian scenery was described

our while not only to have learned to
read. but to have gone on reading ever
since
His summing UP of the character of
his subject. In the last chapter, is, in
part, as follows:
AT some time or other Hazlitt got
athwart the main current of existence,
or as De Quincy. whose paper on Haz-
lit is full of shrewdness. puts it, he
willfully placed himself in collision with
all the interests that were in the sun
shine of this world. and with all the
persons that were powerful in England
Things early began to go wrong with
him. and people, he knew not why, to
eye him with the squ;nt OF sus-
Picion. What had he done to
be SO hated? He had never a
thought OF personal aggrandizement; all
his thoughts were of public affairs. A
life freer from greed of gain. or taint
of literary vanity is not TO be found in
the records of English literature. But
he was always desperately in earnest;
and found 1t not only hard, but plainly
impossible. to put his political and
pHiiuoopHlCsi
edly aside on occasion and be. for a
season, all things to all men. He could
not do 1t. and his inability to do II made
him impatient of those who could and
did. Lambs attitude of mind puzzled |
Hazlitt. He knew Lamb to be, as, in |
deed, some of his less known writings !
show him 10 have been, a sound and |
sane politician. with real grip of situa- |
tions; and yet he was content not only |
to live aloof from politics, but at peace |
with men who. despite the noisy protes- |
tations of their early manhood. had en- |
rolled themselves in the great Army of |
Reaction. This puzzled Hazlitt. and |
when he was puzzled he grew angered, /
for his was a brooding, pondering ma
ture. At the bottom of his mind lay |
deep. gloomy pool of metaphysics. and |
into this pool he plunged from time to
time, always emerging more than ever
in love with abstract propositions and
the hard core OF thought He led a lone
ly life, thinking. thinking. thinking. and
the more he thought the darker grew
the welkin.''

There are also sketches OF the people
of the region. of whom Milanese author
says, in paragraph quoted by the
writer:
Around the Lake OF Como is to be
found perhaps the most ingenious and
Industrious population of Europe.
Every portion OF these narrow confines
has sent forth and maintained colonies
OF transplanted families. For many
years there has not been a shore, or a
valley OF the lake without natives In
Spain, Germany. Portugal, or Sicily.
From this nook have emanated machin-
cry. electricity, physical experiments.
and the fabrication of such instruments
as barometers and telescopes From
the Three Parishes wine merchants and
innkeepers have established themselves
elsewhere, as well as dealers in silk and
linen. Mgsons and whitewashers have
formed corporations, with laws almost
republican"
In short, tine Italian lake region seems
to be one of the favored places of the
earth, and the reader will be likely,
after perusing this book, to set that
down as one of the places to which he
will go on his next visit to Europe,

one of them. 1t was at once supreme
delight and horrid pain. Delight to dis
port himself on those crested waves, 10
strength, to glory in their froth and
fume; pain to think of himself vainly
trying year after year to write a single
essay, nay, a single page, sentence

slightest conception OF my meaning to
almost hopeless ambition.
ITO wrestle with native infirmities,
TO strive 10 pierce through the dull clay
in which most of us are kneaded, is
hard labor. but when health and spirits
are unimpaired it is healthy toll; and
side by side with the doleful passages
from which have quoted, other pass
ages are to be found i Hazlitt's writ
ings in which he declares these same
years OF bitter strife to be the happiest
years of all
The description of the process OF the
formation of style. given in the last par
agraph. is an example of the true and
delicate perception of this author and
his nice use of words.
There is the same keen intuitive in
sight in his observation:
''Hazltt was never more philosophical
than when in a passion. He always gets
a good thought basis for his hatreds.
There Is naturally a great deal Of
quotation in the book, both from HaZ-
litts published works and from his cor
respondence. II is aptly done, and adds
much to the interest of the work as 4
whole.
Mr.. Birrell makes It plain that Haz-
lit was peculiar character and proba-
bly, not very agreeable to most of those
who knew him. but he does 1t in SYM
pathetic way. His book is one of thoee
which We read not so much for what the
writer says as for the way in which he
says It. One OF his comments on Hazlitt
is not Inappropriate to his own work.
1t is this:
''Of the miscellaneous writer one
does not demand settled principles of
taste or deep, searching criticism; 1t
is enough IL he at once arrests. and
throughout maintains our attention: If
he hurries our sluggish spirit up and
down animated pages; If he is never
vapid, or humdrum, or foolish. or blat-
ant. or self-satistied; il he forces us to
forget ourselves. and by renewing our
