''He staked heavily on this number and
won. Following up the suggestion, he
went to church the next Sunday and re-
mained long enough to get the number OF
the hymn announced, staked on it and
won again.
Upon confiding the secret of his sue
cess to his friends, they, too, went to
church. The contagion spread until the
exodus after the hymn became so marked
that the rector was painfully conscious
of it, and on learning of the cause took
occasion to protect himself and the good
name of his church by announcing from
his pulpit that in the future no hymn
whose number was less than thirty-seven
would be selected.
This number was designated because
on the roulette table the highest number
was thirty-six.
1.-THE strangest and most interesting
thing about this is the fact that 1t is
true"
It seems strange, Professor Dresslar
remarks. that while medical science has
progressed at truly wonderful rate dur
ing the past half century, "superstitious
healing" has become conspicuously COM
mon.
Perhaps it has always been so; still
there seems now to be growing boldness
about such practices hitherto unnotice-
able. The remedies suggested by super
stition have not, it would seem, any real
efficiency, and answer for a cure only
through suggestion.
In occasional specimens only has there
seemed to be any immediate or sufficient
relation of the remedy to the disease.
The appreciation on the part of man
of special supernatural powers attributed
to the lower creatures seems most

-
The state dairy and food depart
ment recently seized a carload Of
groceries which was about TO be dis
tributed by a box car merchant to
the people Of Preston and other
towns in southern part OF the. state.
Many packages of coffee and spices
were confscated because they were
short weight, and some vinegar and
some syrup was also taken. The
seizure was made by Inspector j G.
GoWler. The agent of the company
was arrested. The department re-
ports that the goods seized we're sold
by Chicago firm. The agent was
about to deliver the goods when the
Inspector called at the car and after
Investigating the weight Of the
packages, stopped the deliveries,
took possession of the goods and ar
rested the agent.
The coffee was packed in Is and 25#
pound drums. That is the weight
at which it is alleged they we're sold.
but a test showed that every one of
the 4S packages was short measure,
the shortage varying from three
ounces to one pound and fourteen
ounces. The total weight should
have been 100 pounds, but was found
Ito be only 739 pounds and ounces.

packages of spices found to be under
weight. According to his report
There should have been l333 pounds.
Of spices, but as a matter Of fact they
weighed only 12lA pounds, making
a shortage of III pounds.
The inspector also reports a num-

found to be short in measure and a

labeled. The syrup, it is claimed,
CONTAINED greater percentage of

OUR .573. ooo,ooo- BUsHEL
WHEAT CROP.

The commonest article in daily use
is bread. : and its supreme iInpor-
tance is indicated by the fact that
IN all ages it has been considered as
the symbol Of food, and truly it is
the staff of life. Z The cultivation
and milling of cereals is Of the high
est antiquity, and the references to
the baking Of bread occur on some of
the oldest monuments. Wheat is a
spendid cereal crop, and the United
States leads the world in its produce
tion. The 1906 crops, according TO
the official figures, are. as follows:
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1907-06-27

The crops Of other countries bring
the total up to the enormous figure
OF 3,423. T04, 900 bushels. SO that the
production Of the United States is
nearly 20 per cent Of the worlds out
put.
A graphical comparison OF this
crop with the finished product typi-
ned by bread and the intermediate
stage-1our-is very interesting, and
we have made an attempt to show
the magnitude Of the crop by means
Of Well-known objects such as the
Great Pyramid and the Washington
Monument.
II the 735, 26l,97O bushels ofWheat
We're placed ina bushel basket of
standard shape, the basket would
measure 1872 feet in diameter at the
bottom and /, 225 feet at the top, and
would be $50 feet high. It would
have to be strong enough to sustain
the weight of I,5.9, 49,, tons. The
Eiffel Tower is a good object for
comparison. Visitors i'll the crown
of the tower would be ahlessto Just
look over the sea of wheat. a fters
the miller has taken the baske tsi Of
wheat and miIled the grain. he finds
he has some 16,ll6,GO4 barrels OF
flour. which if put in one huge barrel
would be l,2l41a feet high. and the.
largest diameter would be $685..
feet. The bakerenoW steps in, and
out Of this flour bakes 1884, 900, 200
loaVes Of bread Of standard size; and
if this bread were all put into one
loaf. it would measure LOOP feet on
the bottom, 1887 feet at the top: it
would also be 61615 feet thick and
some 2, 15s feet long. If this loaf of
bread were set on end. the finished
product would far overshadow the
basket and the intermediate stage
the flour barrel.
The wheat would fill trench l4l
miles long-the distance from New
YOrk to Albany-and 80 feet in cross
section. In view of these facts, is it
any wonder that our transpo1tat
facilities are strained to the break
ing point in carrying this enormous
" valuable crop?
The wheat crop of the entire
world is far below the average this
year. and it is a much-mooted ques-
ton whether we shall have any
wheat to spare to make up the
deficit abroad: and for this season
the price of one dollar bushel. It
seems probable that the United
States will be the arbiter Of prices
in the worlds wheat market for some
months to come. American Scien-
tific.

PUT RELIGIOUS EuTY SECOND.
Stern Laws of Business Come First,
Says Austrian Court.

An interesting case at law, which
centered on the observance of an old
Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant, says the Ameri-
can Israelite, discharged 4 clerk oil ac-
count of II elect of duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
to the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father.
The clerk argued that it was his privi-
lege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father, while the mer-
chant, who was also a religious man,
maintained that IF Moses had known
that a man had to pay 5000 gulden a
year rent he would have made differ
ent laws" The judge would not allow
such an argument, but decided in ia
vor of the merchant, because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right of
the clerk without the consent OF the
employer"

IT WOULD BE SIMPLE.
FormaIities Complied with, Escape
from Hotel Was Easy.

In the days before the dawn of his
fame 1t was the practice of a certain
well known author to wander up and
down the land seeking what he might
devour in the way of suggestion and
local color. In this way he had drift
ed down into Arkansas, "roughing It,"
and not, as he expresses it, presenting
an appearance calculated to inspire a
hotel proprietor with unlimited conf
dence.
The only hotel in the town, a frame
structure, seemed to have been built
upon the theory that there was plenty
of room straight up, but that ground
had to be bought, and the w%anderer
was shown to a room on the third
floor, reached through many narrow
and winding passages. From the n
window it was a straight drop to the
ground.
Say, how would I get out of this
place in LAST of fire." he asked the
landlord, who had brought up his
grip.
The other eyed him colby.
WALL" he drawled, "all yo' would
have to do would be to show Their
night watchman-the one with Their
shotgun-a receipted bill fob yo'

FIRST TO CROSS PACIFIC.
Sldc-WheeI Steamer Aroused Much
Interest In Japan.

II saw the first steamship flying the
American flag that ever crossed the
Pacific ocean enter the harbor Of
Hongkong," said Frederick r. Ster-
ling, a merchant of Hongkong.
THAT vessel was the Colorado, and
1t landed in Hongkong In 1859. 1t was
the first day Of January, and there was
a big crowd of people OF all nationali-
ties to see her. Being a side-wheeler
of the old-fashioned type, she was a
curiosity. At the request Of Isaac ].
Allen, the American consul general,
the ship gave an excursion around the
island on which the city is situated. I
was among the 1,200 on board. 1t
was a gala day. Whistles blew, people
shouted, and numerous small sailing
boats and tugs escorted us.
"As / remember now, the vessel be-
!onged to the Pacific Mail Line and
sailed from San Francisco. She made
the trip of 5000 miles in 80 days, and
when she arrived was In perfect trim
and good order. Everybody realized
that ii means the beginning Of the
great development of the Pacific"

HAS CONTINENTAL WAR CHEST.
Valuable Relic in the Possession OF
Resident of Vermont.

DR.. E. d. Ellis of Poultney has one
of the most interesting revolutionary
relics to be found in Vermont, an
army chest used by Gen. George
Washington while in command of the
continental forces.
The entire chest is of wrought iron
and it's lock is SO artfully concealed
that none but the initiated car find it.
The chest has seen stirring times, in
peace as well as in war, having once
been thrown from a third-story Win
dow to ave it from destruction by
fire. The fall did not even start a
rivet, but some historical mugs which
it contained were shattered.
The chest was at Valley Forge,
Princeton, Cambridge and other
places during the revolution, and in
addition to carrying the money was
used to store silverware and the mugs
from which the weary officers Of
Washington's staff drank to revive
their dropping spirits. After the bat
tie of White Plains Gen. Washington
gave the chest to Beverley Robinson,
at whose house he made his head
quarters.

FROG Builds Strange Nest.

South America has a frog of Pc
culiar habits. Dwelling in the vir-
gin forests, at the tops of the highest
trees, it chooses as the site of it's
nursery some hollow stump and then
proceeds to line it with rosin procured
IRON trees in the neighborhood. This
lining serves to catch and hold the
rainwater with which it quickly be-
comes filled. AS soon as this takes
place the eggs are laid therein, and
here they undergo development into
tadpoles. How the rosin is collected
is a mystery, nor is it yet known how
the separate pieces become welded to
form the watertight basin necessary
to insure the safety of the treasures
deposited therein.

No Criticism to Make.

Mrs. Hwfa Williams, the English So
ciety leader, talked at a dance in New
York about the fashion of riding
astride that has taken hold of English
eQ~uestriennes.
"Some of u young women" said
Mrs. Williams, dress out and out like
men. They wear a long coat cut like
a hunting coat, a cap, riding breeches
and top boots. 1t is a handsome cos
tune and it is not immodest, but un.
doubtedly it attracts a good deal OF
attention. They have been telling in
London lately a story about an Eng.
lish girl who has adopted this riding
rig. Pulling up her horse one after
noon she said to an artisan who was
passing: Can you tell me if this is the
way to WarehaN"
1.-The man looked her over carefully.
Then he touched his cap in a respect
full manner and replied: Yes, miss,
yes-you seem to ave got EN- on all
right"

Cradle TWO Hundred Years Old.

The slumber place of seven genera
tons is being rocked daily in a
Minneapolis home, says the Minneap-
oils Journal. Mrs. Charles Sowle, of
1905 Park avenue, is the possessor of
a valuable family heirloom in the
shape CT a cradle which is more than
200 years old. The cradle originally
came from Holland, but has been in
this country since 1868. Solidly built
of mahogany, it has deied the raw
ages of time, and has successfully
withstood the treatment of seven
generations of. children who have
slept in it, played with it, and buff
feted it after the manner of children
of every century.
