Pant Growth.

There is gradually dawning belief
that plant growth is more or less of a
chemical process that may be acceler-
ated or retarded by the application OF
the proper reagents, generally in the
form of fertilizers, and that the ulti-
mate growth is usually far in excess OF
the value Of the material applied. This
Is apropos OF some Investigations that
have been conducted by M. Nagaoka,
Of the Toxic Imperial university, in
stimulating rice growth by the stimu-
lsting action of manganese in the form
of manganese sulphate. A yield of 81
per cent over a field fertilized in the
usual manner was obtained by this in
vestigator and the value of the in
creased crop was equal to four times
the cost of the chemical applied.

African Jumping Hare.

One of the rarest and most inter-
esting of the wild animals in South
Africa is the springhaas, or jumping
hare. 1t lives in small communities
on the open veldt, both in the plains
ard in the mountain ranges, and
makes large and deep burrows in the
ground, whence 1t energies toward
sunset, being rarely seen in the bright
daylight. When chased in the open
it proceeds in great bounds like a
jerboa or kangaroo, for which it's high
ly developed hind legs are admirably
adapted, and is even said to move
faster up hill than down. It's food
consists of roots and green stuff. It's
flesh is good to eat and is much ap-
preciated by the Hottentots and
Kaffirs.

AN INVITING PROsPECH

Will Canada in the next quarter OF
q century take the place of the United
States as the great wheat exporting
section Of the western hemisphere?
Everything points that way In the
opinion of experts the United States
has reached high water mark as a
wheat exporting country. The In
creasing population over there has
reached the point when home con-
sumption is becoming annually great
er In proportion than the increase in
wheat production. AS a matter &c
fact wheat production is decreasing
over there as the land becomes more
valuable and by reason of the demand
for other forms of produce for homo
consumption. It is said that the
wheat crop this year is not more than
20 per cent. OF the crop Of 1901 and
much below the crops of 1902 and
1903. 1t is estimated that this year
the United States surplus for export
will not be over 100,000,000, whlch is
less than any year since 1878 with
two exceptions. Not only is this the
case, but considerable quantity of
the best Canadian wheat is being i'm
ported into Minnesota and also Chi
cago.
All this tends to keep the price Of
wheat near the dollar mark, and dol
lar wheat" is the loadstone that will
attract farmers to the Canadian
Northwest, where land is cheap and
can be farmed on a wholesale basis,
particulars of which may be had from
any Canadian Government Agent.
The reduction of American exports
will have the double influence of in
leasing Canadian production and
keeping up the price. 1t constitutes
a roseate prospect for this country.
and needs no exercise of optimistic
enthusiasm to foresee the near expan-
sion of the Dominion into the actual
position OF the "granary of the EN-.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because They are Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that It
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an observation-disclosures, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest nice hot cup of Postum
coffee with a spoonful or two of
Grape Nuts poured in. and such COM
bination contains nourishment to car
~ one a number Of hours, for almost
every particle of 1t will be digested
and taken up by the system and be
made use Of.
A lady writes from the land Of the
Magnolia and the mocking bird way
down in Alabama and says Il was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was recon-
mended by two we'll known physicians
for my children, and feel especially
grateful for the benefit derived.
Milk does not agree with either
child, so to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years, l give Postum with
plenty of sweet cream. 1t agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly although she is Of consti-
pated habit.
For the youngest, aged two and
one-half years, l use one-half Postum
and one-half skinned milk. l have
not given any medicine since the
children began using Postum, and
they enjoy every drop Of it.
"a neighbor If mine is giving Pos
tum to her baby lately wcaned. with
splendid results. The little fellow is
thriving famously." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum agrees perfectly with child
rem ard supplies adults with the hot
invigorating beverage in place of cot
fee. Literally thousands of Americans
have been helped out of stomach and
nervous diseases by leaving off cof-
fee and using Postum Food Coffee.

Of '95. He supposed you were still
under the charge of Pere Huot, being
fitted for the career he-our general
had planned for you-one that would
keep you close to him, and insure
your future"
LATTE had now recovered-appar-
emily, at least-from the effect wrought
upon him by Greloires surprising in,
telligence.
"You will deliver him a message
from me?"

"Give him my homage for his own
greatness, and for the splendor he
has brought upon France. Convey to
! HIM all my hearts gratitude for his
kindness and protection when I was
boy, and for what he would have
tried to make me as man. Tell him
that love him, and will ever
love him, and that no sacrifice he may
wish or accept will be too great fol-
me to make in his behalf. Can you
remember this?"
Every word; and l will repeat il
faithfully"
"Adieu, then. old comrade," said
Jean, grasping Greloire's hand. "This
may be our last meeting. but it will
not end our regard for each other"

CHAPTER TX.

1t was late in sultry, almost breeze
less evening in September. 1911. that
the ship Condor" belonging to Laro
and his associates. dropped anchor in
the harbor of Fort Royal, Martinique.
She hal but single passenger. IL
such ne could be termed; for 1t was
Jean LATTE. returned recently from
a mission which will be referred to
more particularly later on, and who
had come from New Orleans for the
purpose of meeting Laro, whom he ex.
pected TO find waiting at Fort Royal.
His search proved unavailing. al
though he ascertained that Laro had
been seen in the town; and after Wis
iting several Of the places where he
was liable to be found, LATTE went
to an inn not far from the wharves,
and ordered supper
Here he sat enjoying the GOODNESS,
while he slipped and smoked, when
there came to his ears the sound of
a voice whose mellow resonance
thrilled him strangely, sending his
thoughts whirling into the past.
The air was yet vibrating with the
hearty tones as the speaker came
through the door; and a lamp hanging
from the ceiling of the balcony
flashed its rays into the face of Gre
loire.
The recognition was not mutual;
for Greloire, after careless glance
at the younger man. crossed the bal
cony and seated himself near the rail.
LATTE was, for the moment, unde-
cided as to what to do.-whether to
reveal his identity, and risk hearing
whatever comments Greloire might
make upon a name and career which
already had become known in two
continents, or to remain silent, and
thus forego this unlookedfor oppor-
tunity for knowing something definite
in regard to the man who was still
dear to him-he who was now Emper-
or Of France.
Charlevoix county herald., 1904-12-24

But all his indecision was soon rout-
ed by the realization of what was rep
resented by the face and form so
close TO him, and come to life, as it
were, from the dead The living pres
ent seemed to animate the dead past;
the reality of Greloire gave actual life
to the ideal Napoleon.
Pardon, monsieur" he said bowling
slightly as Greloire looked up; "but
think | had the pleasure of meeting
monsieur many years ago, in France"
All" said Greloire, as he turned to
the speaker. MAY l ask when?"
Long ago in Languedoc, and Tou-
len," replied LATTE, fixing his black
eyes upon Greloire's face. 1--WE met at
lie CHEN Heureux, in Toulon; and the
last time I saw you was at the Con-
vent of St. SuIpice, where you were
recovering from wounds in the final
assault upon the city
mon Dieu!" exclaimed Greloire.
"What means all this, monsieur? Can
it be possible that you are Jean La
fitte--Laftte, the pi-"
The word was cut short by fash
from the young mans eyes as sabe-
stroke might lop off the hand raised
for blow
"The first is the name by which |
was known in Toulon, and my friends
still use it. The second is a title
given to me by my enemies, and which
I do not recognize as appropriate"
He spoke with stern composure, and
with dignity we'll becoming his tall,
straight figure and refined face, while
Greloire stared at him in silent aston
ishment.
(Which of the two, monsieur, do you
prefer to use?" LATTE added, now
taking a step backward but not re-
moving his eyes from Greloire.
"To call you Jean, as ! did years
ago" Greloire exclaimed impetuously
extending both hands, which were wei
coined by the firm grip of the younger
mans sinewy fingers.
"Bien,' the latter said. Let it be
30. And you-what shall I call YOU
marquis. duke, or marshal OF France?
Tell me Of yourself. and of-Napo
leon"
"The first will take but a shor'
time" Greloire replied laughingly
''for I am not nobleman, nor yet III
officer. Indeed | left the army si7
years ago, on account of sundry at
tentions paid to my body and limbs

rendered me unfit for hard service

matters connected with certain prop
erty belonging to her Majesty the
empress. who, as you know, is a native
of this fair island. A fine place it is,
both as to climate and people; but
Louisiana is far more to my taste"
LATTE appeared to observe the ir'
relevancy of this last remark, for,
with q keen look at Greloire, he said,
louisiana! What do you know OF
louisiana"
"Much-that is. Of New Orleans
for | was there several months, in the
autumn of 1903"

$50 I learned, when l made inqui'
ries for you. But l heard something
of you, and still more in regard to
that Spanish rascal who took you
away from Toulon, not long before
went there to get you myself"
what mean you by that?" Lafitte
demanded, almost as If resenting an
affront
"This, mon ami" was the slowly and
distinctly uttered reply. THAT when
Gen. Bonaparte, late in October OF
1895, sent me to Toulon, in order to
bring you to him at Paris, found
that you and Pierre had already gone
with Laro, bound for Louisiana"
"Who told you this?" inquired La
fitte.
"A dozen people-Thiel amongst
them. l went first to Pere Huot's
house, and there ascertained that the
good priest was dead. | then visited
lie Chen Heureux, and learned what
I have told you"
LATTE turned again from Greloire
and settled down into his chair; and
the latter saw the quick rising and
