FRON OTHER PENS
CROPS AND DECIMALS.

Now is the time that mathematics
figure closely in the markets. 1t is all
on account of the crop situation, in
which, per cents are consulted with
anxiety, even down to the second deci-
NAL. Here are two or three states
in which there has been a drouth for
few weeks-what is their per cent of
the total yield? How much will they
break into the 494, 000.00 bushel esti-
mate? There has been little figuring
of this kind of late, and 1t has made
the market firm, and projected shad-
ow or two upon the future situation.
Not more carefully does the archi-
tect watch the ratio Of measurements
on his plans than the market watches
the per cents that now prevail with
reference to the wheat crops. A change
of $40 to ell affects the bread supply
Of the world. It brightens the prospect
so far as 1t establishes a tendency tow
ard better crops. Let the decimal drop
a hundredth, and the tendency runs to
gloom. There is just where we are now.
The iron market, the cotton market,
the railroad business, even the political
prognosticator is scanning closely the
state Of the wheat crop, as indicated
by the per cent, and figuring out where
we are going to land next June or Aug
ust. We may say the decimals are
propitious. The wheat crop is promis-
ing, and the iron mill and cotton fac
tory feel the thrill of the pleasant pros
pect; and the corner grocery and the
dry goods store read the decimals and
catch step with the coming crops.-Ohio

When in the middle of the night
think I'd like q little bite
And rummaSe through the larder,

But only things one has to cook,
Whose lot could then be harder?
No pie and no cold meat to carve!
I know then how 1t feels to starve.
And when I'm stranded in q town
Where grief the natives cannot drown
Because Of prohibition,
And where the druggist shakes his head.

Most agonizing form Of thirst.
Just so, my love. now you're away
I long for you the livelong day.

You've set for your returning.

So much on what we cannot get.

F1RELEss COOKING TESTS.

The war department has decided to
make more practical and extensive
tests with the f1reless cooker in the
field. A type Of fireless cooker has
been developed by the army commits
saries and manufactured at the Rock
Island Qll) arsenal Some 100 of these,
each containing two nine-gallon ket-
ties. or enough to supply food for a
full company, will be issued to various
regular organizations for use on prac-
tice marches and in field manoeuvers
should any occur the coming summer.
Among the troops to be thus equipped
Is the Twentyfourth infantry sta
toned at Madison Barracks, New York,
which will be furnished with four
cookers, to be tried on the march to
Felt's Mills. N. Y, where the annual
encampment will be held. The COM
manding officers OF the 10 organiza-
lions to be equipped with the f1reless
cookers will be instructed to report on
the work and suggest improvements.
The advantage of the system is that 1t
provides a hot meal for men in the
field without increasing transportation.

the reports from Washington in

ONLY DELAYED, AT THE WORST.
1t will be sincerely regretted of
course, If congress shall fail to author
ize the Improvement of Fort

session, as now seems likely, but even
that misfortune does not necessarily
mean that the road will never be

endorsement of Secretary of War
Taft who before another year will un-

need for and the practicabflity Of the
road is not questioned, and congress
can be assured that the work will be
done at avery moderate cost. Property
owners along each of the three pro-
posed routes already stand pledged to
contribute large share Of the ma
terial and the expense for labor will
be practically only the cost of the
maintenance of the convicts who will
build the road. Though possibly little
