The Horseshoe Falls was not af'

General Macdonald.
The department of agriculture al
Washington has reported that an enor
nous number of letters are being
received at the department from farm
ers in all parts of the country asking
for definite information concerning
so-called new grain called corr
wheat and usually at the same time
requesting samples for trial.
These letters are the result of wide
ly published newspaper reports. The
department authorizes the statement
that there is no such thing as corn
wheat and that it is probable that nc
hybrid of corn and wheat could ever
be produced, or at any rate, one that
would be fertile.
The grain which caused the news
paper publications is known correctly
as Polish wheat. The newspaper re
ports, the department says, are correct
in saying that the heads and grains Of
this wheat are very large, the grains
being in many cases actually twice as
large as those of ordinary wheat.
The statement that 1t yields GO tc
100 bushels is, however, probably con
siderably exaggerated. The expert
ments made by the agricultural lie
partment and by experiment stations
in few places show that the yield is
rather disappointing.
The wheat has been grown only ex
perimentally in this country except in
a very few places. From experiments
so far made the inference would be
that the grain would be very good as
a hog food. Polish wheat is much re-
stricted in it's adaptation and the de-
partment says could not be success
fully grown anywhere east of the Mis-
sissippi river.
The department has no seed of the
grain in stock.

Miners Interested In April Circular.
No one is looking forward more anX.
iously to next Thursday than are the
miners in the Scranton district. On
that day the coal operators issue the
April circular, which will contain the
price list on which the rates for coal
will be based for year.
Invaribly so far the price has
dropped 80 cents on April l, and in
creased 10 cents a month for five
months, when the so cent drop is re-
couped and continues stationary for
the winter.
Coal is now selling for IS. If it is
cut to $3.50 and advances 10 cents a
month until September, the miners un-
der the award of the strike commission
will next winter be receiving a 20 per
cent advance over the present rates of
pay, as they are to get l per cent
advance for every advance of 5 cents
a ton that coal takes in excess of $3.50.

WOMEN GROUSE HUNTERS
Many Titled Names Have Been Added,
to Rou In Recent YearB in
Great Britain.


Until few years ago, says a London
letter, the term sport in connection
with women meant riding to hounds.
Now, when the rush TO the north for the
hunting takes place, many titled women
accompany their husbands and BROTH
ers.
Ihe first woman who established her
right TO go out with the guns was a
French woman-the Comtesse de Paris.
She was for many years, irrespective Of
her sex, accounted to be the best shot
in the United Kingdom. Often she has
astonished the Norfolk natives, when
a guest Of the king and queen (then
prince and princess Of Wales) at Sand
ringham, with her prowess.
1t Is narrated OF her that one August,
when shooting the moors in Mar forest,
Aberdeenshire, as the guest of the duke
and duchess Of Fife, the comtesse fired
~ times in one minute, bringing a bird
to the ground at every shot.
Then it came about that where the
comtesse de Paris led titled English
women soon followed, and now some
Of the smartest and most beautiful of
society women are noted shots and al-
ways to the fore on the grouse moors.
It must be confessed that some of the
women who accompany grouse shooting
parties do not venture very far from the
little white shooting boxes; but, on the
other hand, there are not a few who viii
tramp and shoot day in and day out
with the men.
The duchess Of Newcastle is an excel
lent shot; and she uses a12-bore double
gun. She has hunted in the Rocky
mountains for big game and has as fine
a collection Of specimens as any one In
England
The marchioness Of Breadalbane Is
passionately fond Of sport, and in pre-
vious seasons has given a good account
of her prowess as a shot. At Black
mount moor, Argyllshire, a few seasons
ago, ten birds flashed over her, giving
but the merest, snapshot. One bird
dropped to the first attempt, and, swing
lug round, the marchioness dropped
another bird that was In fastest flight
with the other barrel. Every one who
witnessed the episode agreed that better
shots had never been seen on moor
land.
Miss Molyneux last season, when
shooting over the moors at Moy, Dru-
mour, Perthshire, was responsible for.
81 out Of PSI brace bagged in a single
day.
The duchess Of Somerset, too, is a
crack shot, and invariably accompanies
the duke on any shooting expedition he
enters upon.
Princess Victor Dhuleep Singh, the
countess Of Dudley, the duchess Of Bed
ford and Mrs, Arthur Sassoon are all
excellent shots. The duchess OF Bed
ford, who only took up sport after her
marriage, is now one Of the best shots
in the country, and uses a small gun
especially made for her.
