PHYSICAL UNFITNESS.

Figures from the recruiting stations

1915 reveal some surprises and un.
promising conditions. Reports from
twenty-five cities, from Boston to San
Francisco and from st, Paul to Allan
ia, show 41,16S applicants, but out of
all these. after examination, only
1888 were accepted, or 9.3 per cent.
Only one man out of eleven was ac-
cepted. Speaking not long ago to the
Marine Corps recruiting officer in this
city, he told US that only about one
applicant out of dozen could be ac-
cepted. The report shows that he was
not far out Of the way. He said that
whiskey, smoking and fast life, break
ing down the heart and poisoning the
system, were responsible for the de-
plorable condition of so many young
men.-Herald and Presbyter.

TENDERNESS.

Tenderness does not mean weak
ness, softness, effeminateness. 1t is
consistent with strength manliness,
truth, and bravery. 1t does not show
itself alone in the touch, but in use
fitness, thoughtfulness, consideration,
forbearance, longsuffering, patience.
But however it shows itself, it is as
the bloom on the peach, as spring
showers on the earth, as the music of
theangels stealing down on the plains
of Bethlehem. You may not have
much of this worlds wealth to distrib-
ute, but you may give something bet
ter and spend a useful and beneficent
life if you will practice the lesson of
shedding around you the grace of hu-
man tenderness in word and act, and
by the spirit of your life.--Lutheran.

THE WHEAT YIELD.

The crop report of the department
of agriculture, issued last week, esti-
mates the yield Of winter wheat at
499 100000 bushels. This compares
with yield of 655, O45, 900 bushels last
year, the greatest winter wheat crop
ever gathered in this country. The
area of winter wheat is estimated at
about 100000 acres, or a decrease
of neary 100000 acres as compared
with last year; and the condition of the
crop on May / was S2,4 per cent of a
normal as compared with ten year
average Of S7.5 per cent. On this
showing it is not reasonable to expect
lower prices between this date and
the harvesting Of the next crop.
