Unquestionably those now living
may see the time when in some years
the United States will import wheat
ii surplus can be found anywhere.
AS a rule, however, we may expect
to continue to export grain forever
The Oldest and most densely popu
lated countries of the world continu.
to export grain, and while the worl.
endures there will always be ex
changes of SURPRISES. As to our pro-
duction we are probably nearing our
maximum under present methods of
cultivation. 1t is, however, easily pos
stble to double our output by better
methods Of agriculture which we shall
gradually adopt as increasing prices
caused by the pressure of population
warrant the increased outlay in pro-
duction.

FIVE FALL INTO GRAVE.
Remarkable Incident That Disturbed

Instead Of the accustomed quiet
which prevails at the burial Of the
dead, great excitement and fear at
tended the burial the other day OF
Michael Serene, prominent merchant
OF Westport. when by the collapsing
Of a grave the coffin and several per.
sons attending the services were
hurled into a small pit.
The final prayer had been said by
the preacher, and the assistant to the
undertaken stepped to the foot of the
CONN to arrange the rope for letting
the coffin into the grave. At that mo-
ment one Of the pallbearers acct
dentally kicked out the crosspiece
that supported the coffin. The CONN
quickly descended into the grave. the
body going feet first. The assistant
fastened its descent by tumbling ON
1t. Several persons rushed to the
edge OF the grave, causing the soil to
yield. and in a few seconds five per-
sons were lying in the pit half covered
with dirt.
They were pulled out, the coffin was
dug out and laid fiat, and after the
grave had been redug the burial was

HAD MISSED GOOD THING.
Patrick's Joy Dimmed by Thought Of
Wasted Opportunities.

Patrick. recently arrived and I'M
used to the ways of this country, was
accosted one day by a member OF the
sporting fraternity, who offered to i'm
part to him, for a modest considera-
tion, a marvellous way to make money
without toiling for it. All one needed,
he said, was a small amount to bet
on a certain horse that couldn't pos
sibly lose. And yez say OF can get
that money without working for it?"
asked the bewfldered Irishman, when
the other was through explaining.
Sure thing. All the work you got to
do is to count the mazuma." I'll thry,
It" said Pat. So they hied them to a
racecourse, where the sporty-looking
gentleman placed Pats money at odds
of five to one. And the horse won!
Pats Joy was unbounded when he was
handed a large roll OF yellow-backed
bills. Calling his new-found friend to
one side, he asked in voice that
trembled with excitement: "Oi say,
how long has this thing been goin'
on?"

CARE or rAeLE'LINEN.
Here 10 Truly Where . "stitch In
Time" Does Wonders.

Too little attention Is paid to the
wear and tear on tablecloths and nap
kins as rule. They are washed and
ironed and put away. regardless Of the
places that are becoming thin and
worn until these spots become holes
and 1t suddenly dawns on the dis
mayed housekeeper that her table
linen is going all to pieces"
II tiny holes are found In table linen
the first thing to do is to darn them
neatly, selecting the numbers of
thread or cotton best suited to the
material to be jarned, using as fine a
needle as possible. II the material Is
much worn 1t Is best to lay q piece
of the same under the thin place and
darn down upon 1t. This gives
strength, though 1t does not look quite
as neat as It would without the extra
piece of material beneath. A ragged
tear always must have an extra piece
beneath.

David Uniapon, full-blooded native
OF the norther territory, Australia, who
combines a genius for mathematics
with q passion for music, claims to
have invented machine which will
secure perpetual motion. He is now
in Adelaide, the capital Of South Aus
tralia, seeking the means of testing
the feasibility of his mechanism. He
explains that the forces which he pro
poses to use are gravitation and mo-
mentum and he had to come to Ade-
laide to seek the assistance OF the abb
orinines department in procuring four
beveled wheels, spindle, a tube and
so on. He Is confident that when he
gets these requisites he can put to-
gether a machine which will bring
perpetual motion appreciably nearer.
