Historic Whcnf

Experts on the subject of bread
grains say that wheat can be traced
back into the dim past across the line
marked by the advent of historic man
into the dim shades of the stone age.
1t has been known in Egypt and In the
valleys Of the Euphrates and the Tigris
since the time when history "runneth
not to the contrary" The prehistoric
races which formerly lived in the ia
nous flake dwellings," which were
built on platforms supported by piles
driven In the lakes of Switzerland had
their mealing stones, wheat mortars,
sickles and other grain harvesting and
fiourmaking apparatus at least 1000
years ago. Wheat found in ancient
Egyptian tombs and in the ruins of the
lake dwellings referred to is Identical
with that which we use today.

Wealth in abundance awaits those
who have the perseverance and hardi-
hood to grapple with the strenuous
task of developing certain parts of
north Africa-Liberia, for instance
The country was made for the agricul-
turist, the climate is kind to the white
man, it is rich and willing, and for
labor expended will repay with boun-
teOus crops The principal products
are coffee. cotton, piassava, cocoa, rub
Der, nuts and fruits
The forests are magnificent and I'M
worked. Twenty-Five different kinds
Of rubber trees are found, and cam
wood is plentiful. Gold and silver ex-
list In paying quantities. The cultiva-
ton Of the soil is neglected and the
product scanty. Labor receives as
compensation only "a cents day, to-
gether with rations, which consist of
one quart Of rice and one pound of
dried fish. There are no public high
ways.
The same crude methods of farming
that were in vogue centuries ago still
exist The pillow is seldom If ever
used, and the hoe and knife are the
chief implements of agriculture. The
proper cultivation Of the rubber tree
would bring great wealth. Cotton
grows everywhere in the interior and
with proper cultivation would yield
enormously The soil of Liberia is en-
inently adapted to the cultivation of
rice, and seven kinds are grown

sellers of Water In Paris.

The Paris water supply is not first
class, although attempts are made
every year to improve 1t, but those
who sometimes draw cloudy and tepid
water from the mains in Paris do not
know that they can have clear and
pure water instead quite easily and
cheaply.
There are still ten sellers of water in
Paris. They are old employees of the
water company which f1ourished before
the Franco-German war, and they are
given charge of wells over which the
executors of the company still have
rights. They sell their water at
penny for twenty five gallons. But
one of them told me recently that they
sell on an average scarcely a bucket
full a month. A bucketful may be
bought for a centime. or the tenth of
penny.
If no other instance were needed to
show how Paris has changed during
the last forty years l may say that in
1890 the trade of the sellers amounted
to more than f75,0OO year.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

In the early days Of the suffragist
movement Miss Susan B. Anthony had
no more bitter opponent than Horace
Greeley, says a writer In the Boston
Transcript. 1t was for long time his
custom to wind up all debates with
the conclusive remark, 1.-The best wo-
men know do not want to vote"
When the New York constitution was
being altered In 1867 Miss Anthony
laid q train for him. She wrote to
Mrs. Greeley and persuaded the ed
itor's wife not only to sign a petition
for woman's suffrage herself, but to
circulate the paper and get 300 sigma
lures among her acquaintance. In the
committee Mr.. Greeley, who was chair
man, had listened to the debate and
prepared to introduce to the conven-
ton an adverse report. He was just
about to utter his usual settler" when
George William Curtis rose.
'Mr. Chairman" said he, Il hold in
my hand petition for suffrage signed
by 300 women of Westchester, headed
by Mrs. Horace Greeley"
The chairman's embarrassment could
hardly be controlled He had found
at least one Of 1.-The best women l
know" wanted to vote. but he reveng-
ed himself later upon the leaders by
scathing editorials.

1t Is a Blending of the Indian With
the MorO-Spanfard.

the correspondence.
The Mexican is blend of the strong
and sober Indian race, melancholy, Sc
rious of thought, with the Moro-Span-
lard, who for eight centuries waged
war In the Iberian peninsula. The
Moors left Ia Spain something of their
blood, much of their speech and not a
little of their habit of thought and ons-
toms. 1t Is good stock, that old Arab
administrators, wonderful eulti-
vators of the soil, chivalric as becomes
the riders of horses, courteous, with an
oriental graciOusness. The blend with
the southern Spaniard made the Anda-
lusian race which profoundly infu-
enced the first immigration into Next
co. We hear their words, the relics of
their speech, and we note often the
vestiges of their customs. The Moro
Spaniard has made his impress on
Mexican architecture and customs.
Often the Moorish eyes in some Mexi-
can woman's face, proud, yet mourn
full, arrest attention in the crowded
streets.
The Anglo Saxon is the newer man,
as 1t We're He Is man of positive
achievements. To him are due the rail-
way and the steamship, the telegraph
and the telephone, the consolidation Of
business, the active commercial con-
quest of the worlds markets. He in
our modern age matches the old Ro-
mans in many deeds, In world adven-
ture. He Is the younger brother in the
great Aryan family, which came into
Europe ages ago from northern India.
Spaniard and American, Mexican and
German, are all relatives, kinsmen
long time unaware of their blood rela-
ton. Spanish, English, French, Italian
and German, the basis of Aryan and
the Sanskrit is the common storehOase
Of the word roots, which we all en-
ploy every day.
Curious that we should insist on our
differences when we are all essentially
the same Whatever is Aryan In us
(and that Is the greater part Is not
Semitic. We are blood brothers and
not strangers. The Moor is Arabian
and therefore Semitic, as are the Jews.
But most of the blood in Spanish veins
is Aryan, and hence relates whatever
is Latin In the Mexican, the Central or
South American, to the German, Eng
lishman and American.
By magnifying our differences, after
all but our distinctive family traits, we
draw apart. If we stopped to trace our
origin we should see that we are not

Old Toys That Survive.

Those of us who as children fifteen
or twenty years ago played with the
then omnipresent jackstones and ex-
pended portion Of our allowances on
Jacks" and rubber balls are apt to
regard the game as a thing of the past
Such is really very far from being the
case, and tons of the cheap little toys
are turned out annually from the great
iron foundry by which the trade is sup
piled. There is no class OF patrons
more stable In its tastes than that of
children, and amid the annual riot of
novelty toys, inexpensive as we'll as
costly, the rag doll still fourishes as
understudy for her fiaxen haired sister.
Old fashioned decalcomania pictures
are not infrequently called for, and in
many portions of this city little folk
can be seen enjoying game of jacks
on tbs d0orstep.-New York Press.
