In the grain trade American farmers
are still increasing their output year.
", and adding strength to our claim
to be called The granary of the world.
In 1905 750,00O,0O0 bushels of grain
poured into twelve primary grain mar
kets, to be distributed again to all com
ers of the globe. American grain is
to-day fighting to supplant rice among
the Asiatics, and has already Partly
displaced rye as the food staple of tho
peasantry of Europe. In a few years
loaves made of American grain will be-
indeed the staff of life in every couR
try of Europe.

Love Letter 700 Years Old.

While carrying on some excavations
near the foundations of the old church
of st. Peter, on top of Monmartre, M.
Sauvageot, a well known French an
tiquary, has discovered a love letter
which is seven hundred years old
1t was written by the knight Jean
de Gisors to his lady, Alice de Lisle.
In his letter the knight declares for
all the world to know that he has
worshipped the fair lady Alice from
afar, that never had she given him
any right to declare his love, but that
her image has been his guiding star
for years, and that now, on the eve of
battle, he wishes to send her a chaste
farewell.
Apparently the damsel never got
the letter, for the knight was slain
$ the next day upon the battlements,
and buried in the trench, whence his
bones have been exhumed by the cas-
ual pick of a modern antiquary.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

The quiet and unobtrusive life of
farmers, leads often to what the Indi-
ana Farmer calls "the mistaken idea"
held by city people, that the influence
of the agriculturist upon the social
and business interests of our country
is very slight. Let those who hold
this opinion reflect that the farmer
feeds and clothes the world, and from
the farm come the best men in the
business and political life of our land.
The lessons on the farm of. labor, econ
Omy, independence and honesty, in the
formative period of character, have
been the secret of success of many of
our merchant princes and notable
statesmen. That the influence of the
farm is felt in numerous ways in all
walks of life is not to be disputed. 1t
is the one profession which all others
must honor for its power and solidar-

Explaining a British Joke.

Newspaper readers, who. as most
newspaper writer's have occasion at
some time or other to discover, do not
always perceive sarcasm where it is
intended, may have been misled in
some instances by a recent dramatic
notice in the Times, which began as
follows:
Yesterday morning Miss Gertrude
Kingston gave an orchestral recital,
in the intervals of which three plays
two of them new-were played
1t may be explained therefore for
the benefit of such that the actress in

resolutions were passed urging the
governments and administrations in
India, as also the people, according
to their powers and opportunities, to
found technical schools in large cen
tres for the industrial education of the
people, and to foster and to extend
the use of Indian manufactures in
the country in preference to foreign
goods. 1t was also agreed to urge
that government and private schools
and colleges should. where practica
bic, have industrial classes added to
them.
