The Cost of Wheat Production. | The departmeut of agricultare issies a summary made! from estimates cf 25,000 farmers of the west and northwest. and of 4,000 experts of the department on the cost of growing wheat. The average cost per acre for the recion covered is $11.79, while the average for Wisconsin is more. than a dollar higher or $12.93. Ground rent is the heaviest sing’e item, and is estimated at nearly $3 per Acre. The principal items of cost have remained about normal during the past four or five years. being siightly higher where any change is noted, owing to increase of cost of labor during the prosperous times from 1830 to 1893. During that period, however, the price, of wheat fell nearly one half. As a result, either wheat production must be restricted or a large part of it done at a loss. )

There can be no question but that the association did a commendable thing m adopting the resoiution.

THE GENTEEL POOR. “OH, THE PITY OF IT!” ONE EXCLAIMS WHEN CONSIDERING THEM. Straining to Maintain a Position Beyond ' Their Means—An Anecdote About People Who Manage to Get Along and Get Aiong by Managing. Do you know that there is a class of - people whosuffer and of whom the world never hears? I mean those whom we are apt to call the genteel poor. They are always with us, In my life I have listened to a great many queer stories about them, and they are really to be pitied. They are, many of them, single wornen of uncertain age, who are obliged to live on infinitesimal incomes and with an amount of style. They can’t bring their ideas down to the level of their fortunes. They have always been used to certain things, and they must have or at least appear to have them. * They can live only in a particular part of town, no matter if the rent consumes the biggest part of their funds, and they must-do other things in just proportion. How do they do it? Why, with an amount. of ingenuity that would be valuable in a better cause. : ; - They ‘“‘manage.” That is the word. - The genteel poor ‘“manage” to get along and get along by ‘“managing.” . Take a case that I happen to know about. They were a pair of sisters who rented apartments. ’ ‘ I amnotafraid to assert that they lived ~on samples. They went from one-grocer 'to another and collected, little by little, almost all the things they needed for their meager menage. . : Sample cans of soup furnished their table at many a midday meal. Their cracker jar was a wonderful mixture of different brands. They did so like a variety, they said. Their bonbon dish was replenished in a way that seemed little short of stealing. They would make periodical calls at va{ieous confectioners and at each take a bit of candy from the piles that were exposed to view. Hidden in a bag, or in a muff if it was winter, the aggregate of this booty when taken home formed guite a dishful and helped out at their afternoon receptions, which, in accordance with their ideas of hospitality and the traditions of their family, they always gave during the season. I used to wonder how they felt when they knelt on Sundays before that gorgeous shrine which they affected and gave the response to that solemn admonition, “Thou shalt not steal,” but I fancy they thought- it was perfectly legitimate. s ! They always dressed in black, and I am sure I don’t know how they ‘“managed” their wardrobes. I suppose the bargain counters helped them out, and I fancy their gowns were sometimes made by a very swell dressmaker whom years ago they employed as a seamstress and introduced to their wealthy friends. By this the woman was enabled to get a footing, and no doubt gratitude prompted her to give them some help in the re--construction of their wardrobes. But this was long ago. I wonder if the younger sister, who now occupies a position as the wife of a’' wealthy man, is aware that I know all about the gown she wore when she “met the man who emancipated her from the thraldom.of petty economy. Idoubt it, but I do, and I am going to tell you. ' . The two women had been invited to a dinner given by a swell friend. The elder could not go on account of ill health, but the younger must. Then came the question of what to wear. Everything had been exhausted, and there was no money for a costume. At last, in despair, the younger woman opened a trunk filled with clothing from the rectory—their childhood’s home. ‘ She had it! Within its depths there was the black silk robe that her father had worn. It was heavy and of beautiful texture. Its ample folds would make a short skirt and parf of a waist. - ‘While in a quandaryas to what would fill out the deficiency she saw beneath the velvet pall that had covered her father’s coffin. It had been the last loving tribute of a sick parishioner. Here were the train and another part of the waist. - Did no thought of its association with the dead man or remembrance of the solemn service return to her, you ask? Not a bit of it. Beneath it, crumpled up in many creases, was the crape that had draped the altar. Behold what a costume was evolved! A long train of velvet over a skirt of heavy black silk trimmed with folds of crape, whose somber blackness served to make still whiter the neck displayed beneath the decollete corsage. She waselegant indeed, and at the dinner she played her cards so well that she captured an extremely eligible bachelor, and her struggles’were over. - - But think of it! I know you’ll say, ¢Oh, the pity of it!” You have often heard thesaying: “God help the rich. The poor can beg.”. I say the Lord’s poor will be taken care of, but pity, oh, pity, the genteel poor!—Boston Herald.

Yot A Real Swell. The tramp had called at a house where there had been a party the night before and had been given a very good meal at the kitchen table, with the lady of the house superintending the feast. She was a good hearted woman, and thinking the wanderer might appreciate a dainty she had added a dish of ice cxeam to the tenu. She put a spoon beside it, and in a minute or two he was ready for it and she stood by to note his enjoyment. “I beg your pardon, mum,” he said as he picked up the spoon, “will you be kind enough to give me a fork to eat this cream with?” and the good woman almost collapsed.—Detroit Free Press,

Law, is four stories in height and occupies 80 feet front on Van Ness avenue. After standing in its place two years it was discovered a short time ago that it'was a fraction of an inch on the land of Thomas B. Evans, adjoining. Mr. Evans had a surveyor go carefully over the ground, and he reported that the front line of the house, on Van Ness avenue, was threequarters of an inch on the Evans property, and the encroachment increased to five-eighths of an inch at the rear line, 90 feet back. Mr. Evans notified the Messrs. Law, and they sent for the man who built the house, and he went all over the ground with another sarveyor. The Laws offered to pay $lOO for the ‘inch or the fraction of* it. But Evans had sent his engineer to the top of the building, and he dropped a plumb line and declared that the fire wall extended 114 inches at the top over the line at the bottom. Evans added that to the three-quarters of an inch at the ground line and declared that, taken up and down and back, there was an encroachment of over 214 inches. . e

. Then the Laws said that they would ‘pay $lOO an inch for all encroachment that could .be demonstrated. The estimated value of lots thereabouts is said to be $3OO a front foot, and $lOO an inch the Laws held tobe a very good figure. But Evans said he would take $B5O and nothing less. This the Laws would not give. Through the contractor, who had carried on all the negotiations, they said, ‘‘Mr. Evatis, if we are on your property, we will get off.”’ And the next day ladders were swung from the roof against the side of the house, and men began to chisel from three-quarters to an inch and a half off the brick wall. Chip by chip as the hammers fall Mr. Evans’ land is being slowly cleared, a perpendicular shaving from the brick wall is being scattered over the neighborhood, and the tenants living in the house have a realizing sense of what it might be to live in a boiler yard.—San Francisco Examiner. - ; : Greenhalge on Horseback. : - 'We must congratulate ' Governor Greenhalge of Massachusetts upon his skill as a horseman. - At the muster at Framingham last Friday he rode his gifted sorrel steed Saltator at full speed past 28 military bands without losing his hat. Saltator is by Kangaroo, out of Hops, and makes no use of the forelegs save to gesticulate. Whenever Saltator hears music, he jumps rapidly backward, using the hind legs as oars and the tail as rudder. When he is going anywhere, he has to be taken backward. To ride him is a difficult feat, and Mr. Greenhalge is no oilcloth knight, or he “couldn’t have accomplished it. Mounted upon the sorrel, the governor is indeed the ideal equestrian statue.—New York Sun. : Cpe "

He is a patient at the City hospital and was suffering from a partioularly virulent abscess which had formed on his back. When he was taken to the hospital, it became necessary to wash the abscess so often that Dr. Marks decided that the best way to treat him was to put him in a bathtub and havea stream of water flow over the sore all the time. At first Hennessy wanted to get out of the tub, but in a few days he became as comfortable as could be expected and did not object. A large portion of his body was under water nearly all the time, and the afflicted part has been constantly -under water for six weeks. - The temperature of the water was regulated so that it was the same heat ‘as that of his blood, and at last Hennessy actually enjoyed his -experience. Last night he said that hé could not go to sleep witheut hearing the rippling of water as usual. B Dr. Heine Marks says the experiment has been an eminently successful one, for the man has almost recovereéd and is able to walk about. When he was taken to the hospital, he could hardly stand. Dr. Marks ~at that time asked him if he was accustomed to bathing regularly, and Hennessy truthfully replied that he wasnot. -« . , : L “I think I’ll give you a bath,’’ said Dr. Marks, and he gave him one which lasted six weeks. ' ~The object' in keeping Hennessy in the water all the time was to have the sore kept clean all of the time and to keep down the fever, which destroyed the tissues. 'The cage is a novel one and will doubtless inaugurate a new method of treating abscesses, although the French surgeons at the Bicetre have adopted a cure somewhat similar to this one: e : “It feels queer to have the water flowing over you all of the time,”’ said Hennessy last evening., ‘‘Some of the time I imagined I was drowning, and sometimes' I thought I was a diver. I got'so used to hearing the rippling of water, though, that I cannot go to sleep without hearing it now. There is'no music 8o sweet as the constant sound of falling water. I have heard it so long that it has become just as indispensable to me as a bed when I wanted to go to sleep. I'wanted to stay there longer, but Dr. Marks told me that if I did fins might grow on me, and then I gyould have to be put in a glass case, so I thought I would not object to coming out.’’—Bt.

‘ A LITERARY PLOT. . . Walter Besant Uncovers an American Con= : spiracy and Applauds It. A secret plot—a conspiracy—has been going on unsuspected for a long time. The conspirators are a small band of ; Americans. ‘lt has been revealed to TheTimes by an Englishman, oné Bdmund’ Gosse; perhaps himself a coconspirator —for all I know of him I believe him -quite capable of joining the conspiracy. It appears that the arch conspirator, Mr. F. Holland Day of Norwood, Mass.,’ concerted with the late Mr. Lowell a “design secretly to prepare a monument ‘to Keats and to present it to this ountry, partly by way of honor to the poet and partly as a gentle reminder to ourselves of our culpable neglect. This de--sign was communicated to asmall number of -American artists and literary ‘men and women, the result of which is a marble bust which Mr. Day has now ‘brought over to this country. It will be put up in Hampstead church as soon as the bracket for it is ready. : It is curious that the secrefishould have been kept so well and so long. The gift is generous and conceived in the best spirit possible—that of claiming joint possession of every great and good thing written in the common tongue. What Keats gave us he gave to all the English speaking world. What Longfel-/ low gave his countrymen he also gave to us. We have given a Lowell monument and a Longfellow monument to Westminster abbey. Let us accept this American gift in the spirit with which it is offered. “The centenary of Keats’ birth is Oct. 29, 1895.
