Hepplewhite, there is in fact not a
single authentic example of this
mans work. He did, however, pub
lish a book 1.-The Cabinet Maker

on which his reputation rests. This
book went through three editions in
1888, two years after the author S
own death.
George Hepplewhite was one of the
great names in furniture making.
The designs in his book are char
acterized by comfort rather than
artificiality. With this is combined
great technical excellence and eX-
IRENE lightness and durability. Curl
ously, however. these designs are not
all of equal value. Some are as good
as the best work of any era, while
others are most commonplace.
Before Hepplewhite's time the side
board had been used as an ornament
only. He made it useful as well. by
giving to it the functions of the
old time buffet.
Although even at that time tea cost

popular throughout England. Hep

There were several stock designs or

Opinions and Views
from the Exchanges
noys IN Town and Country.


From the Portland oregonian.
The story now going the rounds
about a Chicago father who gave up
a. lucrative business in order to i've
on a farm for the sake of his boy is
full of meaning This father be-
lieved that he could not prevent the
perdition of his son If he continued
to live in the city. The boy was
lettering on the brink of ruin, TO
ouote his expression. Thinking he
would be safer on a farm. he he'd
with him to that haven OF refuge.
Whether he REASONED correctly or
not is a question.
In the city, unless modern methods
of salvation have been adopted, boys
run in street gangs and the chances
are heavy that they will learn and
practise all sorts of vicious habits
from gambling to voting for the
local Tammany Hall. They pick
rockets, acquire depraved personal
tastes and become enemies to or
ganized society. On the other hand,
the country is not morally impeccaple
by any means. Opportunities for vice
are not so common as in the CITY,
but probably they are as dillgen,ly
improved. Country boys have not the
elegant manners of their city cousins
but they learn many undesirable
things as soon as they can walk
and seldom neglect to apply their
knowledge in daily conduct.
More has been done in the CITY
than in the country to redeem the
growing boy. Public Fairgrounds,
the resources of the Y. M. 9. A.,
clubs like the Boy Scouts and many
other devices help to break the spell
of evil associations and keep him in
the way he should go. In the coun-
try there is very little help for him
outside his own home. and not al
ways a great deal inside IT.
Nothing has been done for nun.
His natural wild impulses are either
a flowed to run riot or ruthiessiy
suppressed. There are no resorts
where he can meet his comrades. II
he plays ball ne must tresDass on
somebody's land. If he goes SWINE
ming the officers of the law are on
his track at once. To find adventure
he must commit depredations on
melon patches. Satan is the only
friend he has, and there Is good
reason to suspect that even satan
advances are not entirely jisinter-
ested. Pity the country boy but nor
without hope. for rural conoitions
have begun to grow better

A billion Bushels of wheat.

From the Wall street journal.
1t should do any citizen good to
give the wheat report something
more than G passing glance. That
part of the government crop report
shows that the United States is hold
ing its position as a producer of
wheat. And it shows, too, that North
America is still the worlds greatest
producer.
An outturn of 754, 900, 900 bushels is
of itself cause for congratulation. In
bushels it is the largest amount we
have ever harvested. But this is not
the final return. Spring wheat in the
month of August increased @3 per
cent, or 100000 bushels. Last year
the. final estimate was SO per cent.
larger than the September estimate
for all wheat. Wheat is plump and
full this year, and might easily over
run the estimate. No one has yet
had the hardihood to predict a crop
of 800, 000. 900 bushels, but should there
be a similar increase in the final of
this year, that figure could be
reached
But it is safer to keep our feet on
the earth, and deal with what Is GER
tain. A crop of 754,000,000 bushels
compares favorably with last year S
final yield of 1855 bushels per capita,
and, virtually, even with 1882 bushels
the average for the decade ending
with 1910. A little fact like this puts
to rout the gloomy predictions OF
America speedily becoming an inn
porter of wheat. 1t proves that not
withstanding our rapidly increasing
population we are able to raise ouI
own bread and some to spare.
On the face of the government fig
