CEREAL CRQPSIN
THE NORTHWEST
Government Figures for 1899 Prove
The Journals Much Criticized Es-
innate Nearly Correct.

Official figures on the crop Of 1899 have
just Deen issued by the government. The
totai wheat yield for the three spring
wheat states in the northwest, Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, is placed at
ls7O56,S67 bushels The Journal
estimate of 1876. 100000 bushels for that
year made by H. V. Jones, its commercial
editor in tie latter part of August, after
q careful personal investigation of the
nelds, is therefore shown to be marvel
ously close to the truth. 1t will be re-
membered that when the estimate was
published 1t was roundly condemned as
TOO nigh by those who had wheat to sell
and other mistaken individuals who, judg-
ing by some single locality. figured that
the northwest had raised very small
crop.
The Jones estimate was the highest
made that year. Snow, the well-knoWn
crop expert, made an estimate 3O,000,00O
bushels less than h e Journal esti-
mate and the final figures just published
by the government. Other estimates
made by northwestern crop experts were
all several millions less than TIL
J o u a is figures. Among these was
the estimate Of Colonel G. D. Rogers, Sec

SOMETHING FROM EVERYBODY
There Is Much to Be learned in This
World.
Orison SWEET Marden in Success.

Orison SWEET Marden in Success,
one OF the most useful success habits
one can form is that of learning some
thing from everybody with whom he
comes in contact. No information which
can be acquired is too trivial to be is-
nored.
Constantly measure yourself with the
men you meet. You will find that every
one can teach you something which you
did not know before, and which, perhaps,
you would never have a chance to learn
again If you did not acquire it from him.
Daniel Webster once made a great hit,
in arguing a case before jury, by re-
peatlng story which he afterwards said
he had not thought of since he heard it
fourteen years before. But Webster was
always picking up something for future
use. His famous reply to Hayne, the
greatest speech ever delivered on the
American continent, was largely made up
Of the reserves which he had picked up
here and there In his reading. from study.
ing men, and from observation.
Many prominent novelist has collected
material for his stories by making notes
or his conversations with those he has
met and by observation. Charles Dickens
got great deal of the matter for some OF
his novels in this way.
One young man will go to lecture and.
after spending an hour listening to the
helpful, lnstructfng words Of soms
prominent man, will leave the hall or lec-
ture-room without having derived any
benefit from the address Another young
man will attend the same lecture with an
ambition to learn something. He will
drink in the speakers sentences as II ha
were. never to hear such words Of en-
couragement and inspiration again. Al
the conclusion OF. the address, he will de-
termfne that he will make more, think
more, study more, be more than he ever
was before. Such young man has a
purpose and is determined to learn some
thing from everything he comes in. con.
tact with, and from everybody he takes 10.
He other has no ambition, does not throw
himself into what he does. let's his mind
wander hither and thither, so that he
never wholly understands what people are
saying. and therefore never derives any
benefit or information from those with
whom he conyerses.

HAVE WOMEN lNTUlTl0Ns z.
Claim That Their Writings Do Not
Prove That They Have.
William IS. Walsh in April Era

William IS. Walsh In April Era.
Literature is the final expression Of hui
man thought. If women can lay claim to a
special faculty of intuition, why do they
not manifest 1t in their writings? intul-
tion,if 1t means anything, means the fac
ulty that gets down to the germ Of ac-
lions and characteristics and focuses ex
ternal traits into central verify recogn1-
Fable to the general public. Now, there
are more female writer's than male. No
woman poet has ever written an inevita-
table line, a line that flashes spont aneous
ly out of the unknown and casts n illumi-
mating light upon the abyss. Woman has
added practically nothing to our stock Of
familiar quotations. Take down your
Bartlett or your anthology and you may
be surprised to find that, from Mrs
Browning to Mrs. Mynell women have
never coined a phrase which has passed
into common currency OF speech. Mrs.
Browning has indeed written fine lines, but
nothing Of hers can be said to have be-
come household word.
Nor has any woman novelist created any
character that is generally recognized as
typical. George Eliot has come closest
with her Tito Melema and Mrs. Poyser
You would appeal only to the educated few
il you described person as Tito or
Poyser. But call man Don Quixote,
Micawber, a Dogberry, Bliiil, Parson
Adams, Bob Acres; call woman Mrs
Malaprop, Becky Sharp, a Beatrice, a
Diana Vernon, Meg Merrilies, and even
the illiterate will mentally classify the
individual as you wish him or her to be
classified.
.Ah, but, you say, 'in real life women
are the true intuitions. They size up
man or a woman at glance. They are
never mistaken when they trust to their
Instincts
/ can only testifyto my own experience.
I have not found that women's snap judg-
ments OF character are imbued with any
special verify. They form likes and dis
likes quicker than man does, because they
are quicker on the trigger Of conjecture
They can only be one OF two things-right
or wrong II time proves that they: Are
right, as they must be in 30 per cent Of
cases. the right guess is remembered and
treasured up by the slower-minded man
as an extraordinary instance of Int uition.
The wrong guess Is forgotten.
