WHEAT YIELD AND EXPORTS.
Strange Reduction in Foreign Ship
ments-Gain in Home Consumption.

Washington, d. C.-With a wheat
crop estimated by the Government at
19,OOO,00 bushels, compared with
$50, 900, 900 last year, together with
bad crop reports from Russia and In
dia, expectations of a reaction from
last years abnormally low exports
seem to have been reasonably well
founded. Yet wheat exports are still
surprisingly light. This week has been
the first in almost two months that has
not shown a decrease as compared even
with the extraordinarily low figures Of
last year, and even the current gain is
very slight. AS compared with the
figures for 1903, the figures have uni
formly fallen to about one-third.
An explanation which at once sug-
gests itself, and which reports from
the West have in some degree substan-
tiated, is that the millers at primary
points are accommodating large stocks
Of wheat in advance; hence the wheat
is not going forward to seaboard. But
this theory is Ear from adequate. Two
other possibilities are that foreign sup
plies of wheat are much better than
has been generally believed, and that
our home wheat consumption this year
is to be the largest on record.

stories of Observation-Disclosures.

At the Chautauqua Assembly a
number of stories about absent-mind-
edness were being told, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer.
There was the story Of the absent
minded doctor who handed his pa
tient a fee and took his prescription
himself; the story of the professor,
who, coming home to dinner too early,
and see the table cleared, went back
upstairs again, mutterlng that he had
quite forgotten having dined; and
there were many other stories told.
But Bishop Vincent, among all these
anecdotes, carried off the palm with a
story about an absent-minded minis
ter.
There was a minister" the Bishop
said, 'who was so absent-minded that
he once lathered and shaved his re-
lection in the mirror"

Sheriff Herrick and Speeches.

The late Horatio G. Herrick, of Law
pence. for many years high sheriff Of
Essex County, always took a keen in
terest in the Lawrence schools, and
was for a long time chairman of the
school committee. Visiting the Saun-
ders school soon after the death of
Garfield, Sheriff Herrick spoke to the
pupils Of the life of the late distin-
guished statesman, and thus asked,
genially:
Now, can any of you tell me what
a statesman isY
A little hand went up and a little girl
replied:
"a statesman is q man who makes
speeches"
Hardly that" answered Mr.. Her
rick, who loved to tell this story. "For
instance, 1 sometimes make speeches,
and vet ram not T~tatesman."
The little hand again went up, and
the answer came, triumphantly:

makes good speeches!'-Boston Herald

Bad Habits of Clocks.

"Tm ashamed Of the public clocks of
New York." said the man with the red
mustache. "They must celebrate all
holidays by going off on terrible sprees.
At any rate, they are unable to get to
work until late on the following day.
II have noticed that an unusually
large number Of them were i~ndisposed
on the holidays of the year 1905. On
the evening of the day preceding they
seemed all right, but by 2 o'clock on
the afternoon of the day we celebrate
they had stopped and didn't get started
again until almost noon of the morning
after. This looks very bad. In the
interests of general morality those
clocks ought to reform. Some men
are very susceptible to example, and
when they see such a standard insti-
tuition as a city clock going off on a
tear, they are tempted to do likewise"

DUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle With Coffee.

There is something fairly demonia-
cal in the way coffee sometimes wreaks
its fiendish malice on those who use it.
A lady writing from Calf. says:
"My husband and l, both lovers Of
coffee, suffered for some time from q
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort of af-
lection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
81 was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as to
what caused the trouble, till a friend
suggested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to do with it, and
advised that we quit it and try Pos
tum Coffee.
"We followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in q
very short time both of us were en-
tirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
ceased, the muscles in the back of my
neck relaxed, my head Strengthened
UP and the dreadful pain that had so
punished me while | used the old kind
of coffee vanished.
1--WE have never resumed the use OF
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as We did the for
mer beverage. And we are delighted
TO find that we can give it freely to
our children also, something Re never
dared to do with the old kind of cof-
fee." Name given by Postum Co., Bat
tie Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely no
drugs of any kind. but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug poison,

One thing that annoys and humiliates
a Western man in New York City is
the way in which he is herded with
the crowd. Out West a man is an in
dividual. He feels that he is some
body-a responsible citizen, a factor
in the community, a person more or
less worth while, entitled to q certain
amount of respect merely as a man,
and regardless of wealth or social po-
sition or political power. But in New
York. unless he is somebody very i'm
portant. he is nobody at all. He is a
mere unit in the mob, of no more mo-
ment than one ant in a hill. = San

Age and Brain Work.

The belief of Sir James Crichton-
Browne that brain-workers achieve
their best work in later middle age is
easily confirmed by glancing at the
careers of a few of the grand old men
who are still with us, many of whom
are as busy as in their younger days.
Lord Roberts at seventy-three is still
worth $4,000 a year to the nation as
one Of our imperial defenders, Lord
Kelvin at e~ighty-one may startle US
with further congratulations on the
mysteries Of science, Sir William Hug
gins at the same age still explores in
terstellar spaces, while the activity of
the octogenarian Duke of Rutland and
Lord Wemyss is as effective as ever
in preserving the privileges Of our
old nobility.-London Chronicle.
