in a few districts do the reports show
that the crop will be light and those

of hail storms, which near that the
conditions are only local. Rye har~

reaped. Much Of the early barley has
been cut and the fields have been
found to be just as good as expected
and the indications are that the yield
will be heavy. Following about eight
days of warm weather, during which
period the grain showed splendid
growth. there has come another gen.

per cent; protein. 27.92 per cent; fat
1859 per cent, and mineral salts, rs,
per cent 1t differs sharply from the
flesh of fish by containing much
larger quantity of fat. Moreover, this
fat contains the peculiar oily phosphor

Is stimulant to metabolism, affecting
favorably the processes Of nutrition
Caviar is, in fact, highly nutritive
and its digestibility has been deter
mined, the time taken for its ABSORB

anything to be said unfavorably Of
caviar 1t is that its constituents err
slightly on the side of richness.

for the purpose by Henry Smith. OF

called, having earned the sobriquet
from the fact that be was never seen
without a dog at his heels.
This remarkable character lived
about two and half centuries ago and
was one of the best known figures In
Surrey. lie was originally silver
smith IN the city OF London and, pros
pering in business, acquired estates In
different parts of England.
Developing eccentricities as he grew
old, he adopted the life OF a beggar
His wanderings were confined almost
entirely to Surrey, and he is said to
have begged his way through every
town and village in the county. AT his
death in 1851 he left all his wealth to
the market towns and parishes OF Sur
rev, and the endowment enabled each
town to spend $3.50 and each village
about $50 on the purchase Of clothing
for its poor.
Mitcham, however, was excluded
from his benefactions. Smiths explana
ton being that on one occasion the in
habitants OF Mitcham whipped him
