 Now the younger brother, who had also health and good understanding. went to fertile lands and built him a cottage ana sowed and harvested and thereby got his bread.
 To the neighbors around him he seemed an ordinary man. Only the little children, who, in part shared his gift, only they and the goddess of Life knew that his life was an eX- quisite series of delicious surprises For this mans eyes were opened be cause his sense of wonder was un- blunted and not defled by the recur- renee of things. Therefore whenever | the dawn blushed in the east he | stood in a kind of maze or delicate rapture as the shell-like colors in | creased and then faded into the blue of the perfect day. And then he went gladly to his fields, knowing that fresh loveiness would greet him on every side. For his ears caught each ntonation from the thrush s notes as greedily as though the bird ! were but newly formed from Eden s clay, and he maryeled over the com. monest flowers on the wSyside as he had cot done since the days of his early ehildhood.

And now come dispatches from Winnipeg announcing that the yield of wheat in the prairie provinces of Can ada this year will reach 130,0000 900 bushels. In the World Almanac for 1909 the whole wheat crop of Canada for 1907 is stated to have been 96.- 606,0 ,000 bushels. This caused some doubt to be expressed as to the au- thenticity of extracts from United States consul's reports as to the in crease of wheat production in the northwest provinces which were pub aished during the excitement attend ing the recent wheat corner The in. crease of wheat production in the Canadian northwest has been almost sufficient to stagger belief. It will be a great blessing to the crowded cities of the earth whose cry goes up for bread.

An archaeological collection has re- gently been installed In the museum at Vanderbilt university as the gift of Gen Gates P Thurston. The relics include specimens from Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas and other south ern states and Indian relics from Peru A number of specimens were taken from mounds near Nashville Tenn. and show such skill as to point to some higher civilization than that of the Indians who dwelt there in historic times. The Peruvian relics show so close a resemblance to these remains that tho theory of kinship between the makers of this pottery and the people of Peru has been ad- vanced In addition to the Indian relies, there are many minerals, gems and semi precious stones.
