Grain Notes

The Chicago Inter Ocean says Sen
timent In the wheat trade Is bearish II
was the general impression last night
that the local crowd was mostly short
Bears are looking for a steady Increase
IN the marketing Of the new wheat
which, combined with unusual receipts
of old wheat for this season, they ex-
pect will gradually depress prices
Commission houses which were
bullish say that with prospects of no
more wheat being raised in this country
than last year and with prices lower
than a year ago, they believe that the
present level IS reasonable
cash people are mostly bearish and
say that, while there will be some ex-
port business, IL will not be large enough
10 maintain prices around the present
basis
Gossip Of the corn trade was that the
local crowd was well out of their corn
and many Of them were short, the mar
ket being In relatively the same condi-
tiOn as a week ago, when a sharp up
out in the country over the holidays
and were inclined to sell corn on bulges
in wheat"
Gossip in the pit to-day was Of a
very bearish character The impression
seems to prevail that the Government
will give good account Of the crop,
owing 10 the favorable weather condi-
tons over the greater part Of the belt
during the past month.

Cattle receipts increasing with the

full and the extreme prices Of two weeks

contributes largely to happiness.
But complete happiness is not a
result of success in business of
any kind; money or worldly goods
will not buy it. The child seems
instinctively to know that there
is an eternity to spend after this
life, and unless he is prepared to
meet this finale, there is a certain
dread which mars the happiness,
no matter how much worldly
goods he has accumulated. There
fore, the child in school should
be trained to fear God and pre-
pare to meet Him. Teach the
Bible in the public schools, and
when the children grow up they
will reverence God instead of
preaching the theory of evolution
from monkeys and absence of a
hereafter. UNCLE GEORGE.

Compliments of the Season.

Whether or not this story, sent
to the London Telegraph by its
Paris correspondent, is fact or
invention, it has so delightful a
flavor of the Orient that every
one will feel that it ought to be
true:
When the Sultan of Turkey
gave orders for the mobilization
of his troops, he sent to the King
of Bulgaria a sack of millet with
the following letter:
Ferdinand Effendi: Mobilize
if you like, but be assured that
there as many soldiers in Turkey
as there are grains of millet in
this sack. Now, if you wish, de-
clare war;"
Ferdinand's reply was in kind.
He sent a much smaller sack, fill
ed with tiny grains of the hottest
red pepper of the country. With
it went the following letter:
Dear Sultan: The Bulgarians
are not numerous, it is true, but
be assured that to stick your nose
into their affairs is like sticking
it into our national condiment.
Try it and see. They will sting
you so sharply that the whole of
Asia will not be able to save you.

Uncle George on Public Schools.

Editor CoLtar Chronicle:
went to a teachers meeting
a few days ago and listened to
some ideas of these modern edu-
Gators, and now | would like to
tell your readers few of my
views on the subject. This means
| want to criticise the manage
ment of the business of educating
our youth.
Prof. c. L. Brown, State Su-
pervisor of rural schools gave a
splendid talk on education of
farmers children, and mapped
out what / think is an excellent
course for the management of
rural schools. All the teachers
favor economy in their talks, but
if may be permitted to judge.
there are some other places where
improvement can be made. The
idea of economizing in books,
tablets, pencils drawing material,
etc., is good, and | think the au-
thorities are right in urging the
teachers to watch these things,
but | think | see another place
where headquarters might prac-
tice some economy. The super
visor of rural schools is certainly
a superfuous Office. The farm
demonstrators are the men who
ought to cooperate with the par
ish superintendent in the super
vision of rural schools. / am
sorry our parish found it neces-
sary to discontinue this farm adj
wiser, thereby practically abolish
ing the office. / think this is
economical in the wrong direction
provided the farm demonstration
does his duty. If, as is reported,
the demonstration just selected
the best crops here and there over
the prrish and reported them as
following his instruction, when
really he hardly saw the crops,
the Office had better be abolished,
but if he would visit the farmers
frequently, distribute bulletins
from the experiment stations and
explain to the demonstration far
mers and the boys and girls clubs
in the schools, instructing them
just how to follow the scientific
methods, there is no Office in the
parish that would be of more
genuine value to the rural COM
's<saitx for the amount invested
in salarysthan this supervisor of
improved methods of farming,
under whatever name he may be
set to work.
The question of having two
curriculums, one for city schools
and one for rural schools has
been suggested. think this
would be a mistake. The public
school should teach something of
both city and country life to every
child, because children seldom de-
eide what path in life they will
follow until they are old enough
to be well advanced in the COM
mon school branches, and for the
boy who would decide to be a
civil engineer to find that he had
been putting in all the previous
years studying the languages
would be tremendous mistake.
l think it is fine for the teacher
to discover what the child likes
and push him in that direction
provided it is honorable) for
that is what he will succeed in,
and success with most every one
