The Worlds Wheat Crop.

The world S wheat crop of 1904 was
the smallest IN three years. The latest
figures are made by the department of
Agriculture showing 3,162, 404, 900
bushels, or IS, 129, 900 bushels less
than 1908. The losses were l02, 000,-
600 bushels in Europe and 9S, 200, 900
bushels in America, and increases of
Ga, 900, 900 bushels in Australia and
1000, 900 bushels in South America.
AS to the crop in the United States, it
is now estimated that the winter wheat
crop this year will amount to 400, 900,
900 bushels, which is far larger than
any crop ever gathered. The yield
last year was S32, 900, 900 bushels and
that of 1903 was 800, 600, 900. The
largest winter wheat crop ever harvest
ed to the present day was in 1902,
which was All, 900, 900 bushels, OF
$4,000, 600 under that promised for
this year. From the present outl1ob
the aggregate wheat yield this yeal
will break all records. The condition
OF spring wheat, despite the backward
weather throughout most of the pro
ducing states. is fully up to the average
OF recent years. Wheat Is no thl
most valusb e of the country's grain
crops, for corn has that distinction
The value of wheat last December wa
placed at $50, 600, 900, while the corr
crop was worth s, 1907, 600, 900 at tina
date. Very much of the country
prosperity, however, depends 90 tn
wheat yield. When the wheat grower
have 90 d times the country in genera
is prosperous.

THE DURAN.
A Magical frnit Which Few of Us Are
Likely to Sec or Taste.

a
Likely to Sec or Taste.
Under this title Outing describes
fruit which few of us are likely to see
or taste. The tree is tropical and the
fruit too tender for long shipment:
1t was at the height of the DURAN
season. when all animal kind in Malay,
two legged and four legged. is animat-
ed by an Unsuitable lust for the fruit
itself, and quick to I'LL with savage
anger against whatever stands in the
way of satisfying its appetite; for not
the least remarkable quality of this
remarkable fruit is the amatory effect
it has upon those who consume it.
All during eating Malay-man and
beast-are aflame with erotic fire. The
jungle resounds with the fighting OF
love-lorn Drutes and the towns awaken
to courtship and indulgence.
The durian is about the size Of Il
pineapple, with similarly rough out
side covering, armed with half-inch
spikes, which are tough and sharp.
1t grows on trees fully sixty feet in
height, whose trunks arc bare of
limbs, except at the very top, and when
the fruit ripens it drops to the ground.
So, as the season approaches, natives
erect small huts under the trees or
near by, from which they watch for
the falling fruit. Those who are for
tunate enough to have such trees
growing on their land practically live
on the income derived from the sale
of the DURAN, for in the peninsula
market it brings the highest price OF
any eastern fruit. In the jungle edge,
where these trees have no ownership,
the race to build the first hut and
thus establish proprietary interest in
the falling fruit is equal in intensity
to an Oklahoma land rush; and in the
jungle the natives must compete also
with the wild beasts that share mans
fondness for this extraordinary fruit
Once. in the jungle, as l sat smoking,
ruZziing out some lost seladang tracks,
a falling durian attracted my atten-
ton. The nearby trees seemed alive
with monkeys racing to first reach the
ground. One monkey, that had been
left at the post, so say, deliberately
dove from the top of the tree, where
he sat. fully forty feet, into the top OF
a smaller tree below, whence he swung
to the ground; but, though he beat out
the others, the durian had disappeared.
A small leopardlike creature had
sneaked off with the fruit, and I was
too absorbed in watching the aerial
fight of the monkey to get more than,
a glimpse of the thief, The troop of
monkeys that instantly foregathered
discussed the situation loudly. and in
very obvious anger.

Publicity as q Panacea.

We have in this country an almost
superstitious reverence for publicity
rs though it were a panacea for point
ical and social evils. Give the people
the facts. is our comfortable doctrine,
and conditions will remedy themselves.
But there is as much difference be-
tween diagnosis and cure as applied to
printers' ink as to medicine, and the
time will come, even if the writer De
wrong in thinking it is now with U.s.
when the feeblest of tonics Will 90
US more good than the most drasuc
Of these modern literary emetics.
It is curious fact that, when we
speak of publicity and its value we
have in mind publicity in its narrow
and restricted sense, as the searchllght
of public knowledge thrown upon some
thing which is wrong. We make 1t
serve as a sort of social scavenger, as
though that were its great function in
stead of it's very least. AS though
that great instrument Of civilization
was being employed at its best task
when engaged in probing, with pry-
.nG-hook, our social garbage barrels.-

Californfa's Fruit Wealth.

Whether classed as small fruits, or
set in a class by themselves. the am
brosial grapes of the country call for
$4,000 fruit cars, each carrying fifty
tons. to take the luscious punches from
the vineyards to the market places.
Raisins, first produced in 1867, be-
came Of commercial note in 1873. This
branch is carried on in California only.
It takes from three to four pounds OF
grapes for one pound of raisins, and
production in recent years has ranged
close to 1OO,OOO,OOO pounds Of raisins
annually. The price of grapes at the
vineyards has changed greatly. In
New York thirty years ago the price
was five to six cents per pound. From
1896 to 1901 about siX-tenths Of cent.
Sales have been made at much lower
prices. In California good grape land
costs about 5000 per acre; cultivation,
$40 to S75 per acre; returns range from
S125 to $500 per acre. Many Callfor-
MIA vineyards contain 500 acres each.
The larger ones cover from l0OO TO
25OO acres each. That Of the late Le-
land Stanford was over seven miles
long, and contained nearly 5000 acres.

Natural Rose Wort

New York bellies have set the fash
ion Of wearing single rose instead
of 4 nosegay. The blossom is, Of
course, the most perfect to be found,
and is worn where it will produce the
most artistic or startling effect.
A favorite place FOR the single rose
is directly in front at the point in the
decolletage. A girlish effect is given
by wearing the rose just over the left
shoulder.
A schoolgirl has adopted the fashion
of wearing the rose tucked coquettish-
" under her hair. which she wears
coiled low.
The short girl has seized the oppor-
tunity of making herself appear taller
by using the rose at the top of her
head. where the hair is knotteG.
A pretty effect is obtained by a
brunette who wears deep red rose
caught in her collar. close to her
throat.
Perhaps the least conventional! wear
ing of the rose was made fad By one
of the society leaders, who appeared
at the theatre with 4 great pink bios
som directly in the middle of her back.
From the flower hung tulle streamers.
matching the tulle and chiffon laces
about the fair, bare shoulders.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Tolstoy said that the rich are Willing
to do anything for the poor, except to
get off their backs.
The faith Of the heart is stronger
assurance than all the visions Of the
outward sense.-Orville Dewey.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful
countenance, and it also induces good
digestion, which is the source Of good
health.
Mental and moral activity keeps the
body healthy, strong and young, pre-
serves from decay and renews life
J. F. Clarke.
Conscience that is mainly exercised
within the limits of. the personality
it is set to guard increases the common
stock of Righteousness.
Simplicity, cheerfulness, courage, and
hopefulness, gratitude for blessings re-
ceived, with enjoyment Of human af'
fection, are blessings which money
cannot buy and poverty cannot de-

Woman as a Ci izcn.

It is strange how slow men are to
recognize that in all matters Of practi-
cal hygiene the women are necessary.
We shall never have clean cities until
they undertake the job, nor shall we
know how to be good national house
keepers until the private housekeepers
of the nation extend their hereditary
function to public needs and duties.
Every time the women are given
chance to clean up q dirty city, carry
on a crusade against public disgraces
and immoralities, they are successful
and there is at once a new order OF
things. In one State the men, the eat
ers of meat and makers Of law, legally
allowed the butchers to carry on their
work in such 4 diseased and disgusting
manner that the health and morals OF
the whole people We're affected. One
woman alone reformed and cleaned up
the whole abuse and made the slaugh-
ter houses of the State models Of by
sienic order and Gecency. Here is an
other instance. In q Michigan city.
Kalamazoo, the women grew tired OF
filthy streets and disregard Of law and
they got permission to clean one street
for a while, on the same conditions as
the contractor had not cleaned it. They
did the work, forced slumbering Or
dinances to wake up, demonstrated to
the city that cleanliness is as easy and
as cheap as filthiness. and now the
men and politicians of Kalamazoo say
they have learned their lesson and that
they will carry out the reform in aii
streets of the city. The movement was
instituted by Mrs. Caroline Bartlett
Crane, who also did such marvellous
work in the Michigan slaughter houses.
There should be women's civic club
or city improvement league in every
American city and town.-Americaa
