WHEAT FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
Over One Million Bushels Shipped From the
Pacific Northwest

Portland, Or, March 28.-The British
ship Inchcape Rock will clear today for
South Africa with $500 bushels of
wheat. This will bring the wheat ship
ments (hour ,ncluded) from Oregon and
Washington ports to total of over one
million bushels, which is the largest
amount of South African business ever
handled from the Pacific Northwest in a
single season. 1t is probable that an.
other half million bushels will be sent to
the Cape OF Good Hope before the end
of the season. The primary cause of the
large increase in the shipments to South
Africa is the short Australia wheat crop

freshing, his writings will long hold
unique and exalted place in English
literature.
Mr. Harte was born in Albany, N. T.,
in 1889, and was the son Of an educa-
tor, who died leaving the family with
little means In 1854 young Harte
went to California with his mother and
In Sonora tried his hand at the faith
er's profession of teaching. He did not
succeed in this and became a compos-
itor in the office of a mining camp pa
per, beginning his literary career by
composing his first article intype while
working at the case. In 1857 we hnd
him a cQmpositor in the office Of the
Golden Era, San Francisco. The ex-
perience Of his frontier life had been
impressive and his literary talents
soon put to profitable use the vivid
scenes of the previous three years.
Clever sketches, contributed at first
anonymously, attracted the attention
Of the editor, and Harte was invited
to join the corps Of writers. Soon at
terward he became associated in the
management of The Californian, lit
erary weekly, short-lived, but of inter
est as containing his condensed Nov
els" In 1864 he was appointed Sec
rotary of the United States branch
mint and while holding this position
he wrote several poems for San Fran
cisco papers.
In July, 1868. the publication of The
Overland Monthly, with Mr.. Harte as
its organizer and editor, was begun.
The second issue contained The Luck
of Roaring Camp, a story of mining
life. which marked the beginning OF
Hartes brighter and more artistic
work. The next number contained The
Outcasts of Poker Flat, a realistic
story, considered by many his best
production. 1t established his repu-
cession by other we'll known produc-
tons. The Heather Chinee appeared
in September, 1870.
Harte received the appointment Of
professor of literature in the Uniyers-
ity of California in 1870, but In the
spring of 1871 resigned that chair and
his editorship and settled in New York.
He became a regular contributor to
The Atlantic Monthly, and lectured on
The Argonauts of 40 in various cities.
In 1873 Mr. Harte was appointed
United States Consul at Crefeld, Ger
many, and was transferred in 1880 to
Glasgow, Scotland, where he con-
tinued as Consul until the advent of
the new administration in 1885. He
had since resided in England, engaged
in literary pursuits. Beside the books
mentioned he wrote many other works.

A conspicuous number of centenari-

In a recent interesting discourse on
the question, SIS the Pulpit Free?"
Rev. Frederick G. Priest got at the root
of the matter when he said that the
preacher should be specialist and
should attend to his speciality. Within
the limits Of that speciality and the
creed that he processes his freedom Is
He Is always secure in the approval OF
his parishioners when he breaches a
thoroughly Christian sermon, founded
on the moraIties and the promises of
the gospel, and more than that, 1t Is by
such sermons alone that he can best
help, comfort and inspire his hearers.
But the peculiar respect which he com
mands as a specialist vanishes imme-
diately when he goes out of his sphere
to talk dogmatically upon questions OF
secular controversy about which he
may know much less than some Of his
auditors. There are preachers who
seem to have a persistent itching dur
ing political campaigns to bring the
pulpit into politics and who deceive
themselves by imagining that their
partnership comes Of God, when 1t Is
just the ordinary kind. They may con-
tent themselves with yelled illusions or
they may go so far as to express eulogy
or denunciation, but in either case they
are using the church as q campaign
wigwam when they should hire hall.
&c fho n n
tolerated as much as they are, and GER
tainly there could be no blaming a pew
holder for protesting when he believes
that there is more Of the devil than Of
God in the preachers party. 1t is his
right to protest and to demand that his
temper shall not be ruftied by the dis
ingenious Or over-zealous pulpiteer,
who Is taking him at a mean disad-
vantage and depending on him for
financial support at the same time.
Aside from the question Of authority,
men are stated with such stuff anyway
during the week, and If they go to
church Sunday it Is to be recalled to
the spiritual side of life, which is too
much neglected. There Is still enough
in it and in pure religion for centuries
upon centuries Of sermons, as there has
been in the past. The speciality Is still
rightly considered the greatest Of spe-
cialties, and when it is properly full
filled it ministers more to the higher
aspirations of humanity than any other
and commands a veneration that is
very bulwark against those who would
curtail its just freedom.

WALKING AND LONGEVITY.
With Many Centenarians 1t Was the
Favorite Form of Exercise.

With Many Centenarians 1t Was the
Fayorite Form of Exercise.
Walking appears to be the form of
nhysical exercise most favored by cen
tpnarians. 1t is related of one Mac
Donald. who died in Highlands, Scot
land. in 1791, aged 101: He was a
great pedestrian, and the year before
he died, at the age of 100, undertook
on a wager to walk ten miles in two
hours and a half, which he performed.
He was accordingly presented to the
king at Windsor"
Colonel George Perkins, of Norwich,
Conn, who died thirteen years ago,
aged 100, made a practice of walking
four miles a day until within few
years of his death. Mary Wilkinson of
Yorkshire, England, who in 1888 died
at 100. walked to London when she
was past 90. The distance was go
miles. She made it in five days and
three hours. Mary Mcdonnell, Wig
orous old woman of Magheratempany,
Ireland, in 1884, when III, walked
fourteen miles.
Sally Morris, who recently died near
Parkersburg, w. Va, at the age Of 113,
had, up to two years previous to her
death, walked twenty miles to town
and back one day in each week.

How to Form the Reading Habit.

In order to organize odd minutes
into fruitful hours one must have
consistent scheme and keep the means
Of carrying it out within reach. Too
many people read the books which
come in their way instead Of putting
themselves In the way of getting the
right books. They buy and borrow
without thought or plan because they
do not understand that reading ought
to be a resource as well as recrea-
ton. Decide in advance what books
you will read, and do not take up
with those which drift in your direc-
ton. Do not burden yourself with
scheme so extensive that it discour-
ages you; do not, at the start, plan
courses of reading SO vast that you
are weighed down with their magni-
tude. Begin in a quiet and easy way
by planning to read consecutively a
few books in some field which interests
you.-Hamilton W. Mabie, in Ladies'
Home Journal.

The destinations of the setting sun

ity of some laws and rigidity of others,
the dishonesty of officials and never
ceasiug depredatiOns and exactions Of
outlaws, Young Greece, with the glo-
rious memories of the past ages not yet

Is estimated that this emigration is at
the rate of 1000 a month. They are in
a great part agriculturists, sick Of the
poverty and hardships that are their

American citizens; but what of Greece?

lions wondered If the spirit of Leonidas
had returned. But the lions feet were
clay. and his short-lived struggle was
pitiful. Young Greece, buoyant for
moment in the thought of a new regime,
went back sick-hearted to his fur
rows. And now, bad fast becoming
worse, he seems inclined to take one
last glance at Athens and try his for
tune in new world, leaving the Acrop-
oils to rust away without him.
