A Round of Attractions, Very low SUil- ' nnd Rate* and Hummer Weather 1'Ulln( the City. Trains on all roads to M. Louis have been carrying crowds <tf ■ pleasure seekers for the last month, but the great week of the 1801 Carnival Is now at hand, and there will be thousands more flocking to tho already well fllled city during the next few days. The Fair extends from October 5 to », and is to he a Inuoh grander gathering than ever before. The stew, management has arranged for a series of hovel attractions, Including sensational horseleaping contests. In whiok horses which bsve wont numerous prises In the East will compote. The exhibits generally are much more varied and valuable, and in every department of agriculture nnd manufacture there will be new triumphs. Tho ooutests in the amphitheater are alone worth crossing two States to so®, especially as nearly all tho roads are selling round-trip tickets for one faro, i The exposition closes October If. Those who hare seen St. Loots’ annual expositions in the past can easily understand what the 1891 effort Is like when they reallxe^at the trirmphs of former yoare have heeJWaslly exoclled, and that visitors from all parts of the world are delighted with the solid splendor and princely magatOcenoe of the displays. The art department alone Is an exposition In itself, many of . the pictures being of International renown. The main aisles are crowded at all hpurs of the day with visitors with a keen appreciation cf the boantlful, and the mechanical department keeps happy thousands of people who like to see the latest triumphs of Inventive genius. The street ilium Inatlona this year are as far above earlier efforts as those efforts-were above anything ever attempted elsewhere. The^ast illumination for this year is on OetobcrtSth, nnd It will be, by all odds, the most magnificent of the series. Tho Grant statue, with its brilliant lights, the Goddess of Liberty enlightening the world with her grand torch, the 68,000 gns lights in globes of all the colors of the ralabow, and the thousands of electric lights, combine to make tho Metropolis ot the West as light by night aj by day, and the scene on the downtown streets Is an astounding one.

“German Syrup” The majority of well-read physicians now believe that Consumption is a germ disease. In other words, instead of being in the constitution itself it is caused by innumerable small creatures living in the lungs having no business tbere and eating them away as caterpillars do the leaves of trees. A Germ The phlegm that is coughed up is those Disease. parts of the lungs i which have been gnawed off and destroyed. These little bacilli, as the germs are called, are too small to be seen with the naked eye, but they are very much alive just the same, and enter the body in our food, in the air we breathe, and through the pores of the skin. Thence they get into the blood and finally arrive at the lungs where they fasten and increase with frightfuf rapidity. Then German* Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills them, expells them, heals the places they leave, and so nourish and soothe that, in a shorttimespastnuptives become g^rtfi-proof and well. 9

Bev. T. OeWltt Talmage Strives tB Hake the Hatter Plain. U • Mission to Accomplish, on the Results of which Depend Much of IhttWf and All of Heavenly Happiness. A congregation of folly seven thousand persons listened to the M’.oWibf discourse hy Rev.

Though these are fanciful and false traditions they show the execrations with which the world looked upon Pilate. It was before this man when he was in full life and power that Christ was arraigned as in a court of oyer and termfflCfc Pilate, said to his prhMMBF: "Art thou a king, then?" Ah'd Jesus answered: "ID thfcend was I born.” Sure enough, Although all earth and hell arose to keep Him down. He is to-day empalaced, enthroned and coroneted King of earth and King of Heaven. "To this end was I bom.” That is what He came for, and that was what He aecomplished. My the time a child reaches ten yearn of age the parents begin to discover that child’s destiny, bht by the time he or she reaches fifteen years of age the question is Oh the child’s lips: “What am l to he ? What am I going to be ? What was I made for ?” It is a sensible and righteous question, and the youth ought to keep on asking it until it is so fully answered that the young man or the young woman can say, with as much truth as its author, though on a less expansive scale. “To this end was I bom.” There is too mueh Divine skill shown in the physical, mental and moral constitution of the ordinary hntAan being to suppose that he was constructed without any Divine purpose. If you take me out on some vast plain and show me a pillared temple surmounted by a dome like St. Peters, and Having a floor of precious stones, and arches that must have taxed the brain of the greatest draughtsman to design, and walls scrolled and niched and paneled and wainscoted and painted, and I should ask you what this building was put up for, and yon answered: “For nothing at aiM^^fcv could I believe you? And it is impossible for’ me to believe that any ordinary human being who has in his muscular, nervous and cerebral organization more wonders Hart Christophor Wren lifted in St. Parrrs or Phidias ever chiseled on the Acropolis, and built in such a way that it shall last long after St. Paul’s cathedral is as much a rain as the Parthenon—that such a being was constructed for no purpose, and to execute no mission, and without any Divine intention toward some end. The object of this sermon is to help you to find out what you are made for, and help you find your sphere, and assist you into that condition where yon enn say with certainty and emphasis and enthusiasm and triumph: “To this end was I born.” First, I discharge you from all responsibility for most of your environments. Yon are not responsible for your parentage and grafid parentage. You aro not responsible for any of the cranks that may have lived in your ancestral line,and whom a hundred years before you were born may have lived a style of life that more or less affects yon to-day. Yon are not responsible for the fact that your temperament is samruine. or melancholia or bilious, or

lymphatic, or nervous. Neither are you responsible for the place of your nativity, whether nmong the granite hills of New England or the cotton' plantations of Louisiana, or on the basics of the Clyde, or the Dnieber, or the Shannon, or the Seine. Neither are you responsible for the religion taught in your father’s house,or the irreligion. Do not bother yourself about what yon can not help, or about circumstances that you did not decree. Take things as they are and decide the qncstion so that you shall be able safely to say: “To this end was I born.” How will yon decide it? By direct application to the only being in the universe who is competent to tell you—th^ Lord Almighty. Do yon know the reason why He is the only one who can tell? Because He can see everything between your cradle and your grave, though the grave be eighty years off. And besides that He is the only being who can see what has been happening for the last five hundred vears in your ancestral line, and for thousands of years, clear back to Adam, and there is not one person in all that ancestral line of six thousand years but has somehow affected your character, and even old Adam himself will sometimes turn up in your disposition. The only being who can take all things that \>ertain to you into consideration is God, and He is the one you can ask. Life is so short we have no time to experiment with occupations and professions. -r'Tho reason we have as many dead failures is that parents decide for children what they shall do, or children themselves, wrought on by some whim or fancy, decide for themselves without any imploration or Divine guidance. So we have now in pulpits men making sermons who ought to be in blacksmith shops making plowshares, and we have in the law those who instead of ruining the cases of their clients ought to be pounding shoe lasts, and doctors who are the worst hindrances to their patients’ convalescence, and artists trying to paint landscapes who on gilt to be whitewashing boanMences. While there are others making bricks who ought to be remodeling constitutions, or shoving planes who ought to be transforming literatures. Ask God about what worldly business you shall undertake until you are so positive you can in earnestness smite your hand on your plow handle, or your' carpenter's bench, or your “Blackstone’s Commentaries,” qr your medical dictionary or your “Dr. Dick’s Didactic Theology.” saying: “For this end was I born.” There are children who early develop natural affinities for certain styles of work. When the father of the astronomer Forbes was going to London he asked his children what present he should bring each one of them. The boy who was to be (ui astronomer cried out: “Bring me *. teletelescope!” And there are children w hom you find all by themselves drawing on their slates, or on i or birds, and you 1

harvested unboa tt ted souls for glory, began to study the ministry. Dr, Catamy, one of the wisest and best men, advised him to turn his thoughts to some other work. Isaac Harrow, the eminent clergyman Christian scientist'—his books tits ti aS btstsh tteild fegii—Wnfe, the uib (itiler. that ,H it and standard How, < b?et* tWd htihdibd difehtSilrteilthcdt <Jf Vrhd feed id iay_.... . - pleased God to take afty of his children £wtiy he hoped that it might be his son Isaac. So some of those who have been characterized for their stupidity in boyhood oir girlhood, have turned out the mightiest benefactors or benefactresses of the human race: . TtttiSd things belag §& m i not Hglit in saying that ltt Many cases God only knows what is the most appropriate thing for yon to do, and He is the one to ask. And let all parents, and all schools, and all universities, and all colleges recognize this, and a large number of those who spent their best years 111 stumbling about among businesses itad occupations UoW trying this And tioW trying that, and failing in Ml, would be able to go abend with a definite, decided and tremendous purpose, saying: “I'd this end was 1 born.” But my subject now mounts into the momentous Let me say that you are made for usefulness and Heaven. I judge this from the way you are built You go into a shop where there is only one wheel turning, and that by a workman's foot on a treadle, and you say to yonrself: “Here is something good being done, yet on a small scale,” but if yon go into a fuctory covering many acres, and you find thousands of bauds pulling on thousands of wheels, and shuttles dying, and the Whole scene bewildering With activities, driven by water, or steam, or electrie power, yott Conclude that the factory was put tip to do great work oil a vdst scale. Now I look at yon, and if I should find that ybti had only one faculty of body, only one muscle, only one nerve, if you could see but could not hear, or could hear and not see, if you had the use of only one foot or one hand, and, as to your higher nature, if you had only one mental faculty, and you had memory but no judgment, or judgment but no will, and if yon had a soul with °nly one capacity, I would say not much is expected of you. But stand up, oh than, and let me look you squarely In the face. Byes capable of seeing everything. Ears Capable of hearing everything. Hands capable of grasping everything. Mind with more wheels than any factory ever turned, more power than Corliss engine ever moved. A soul that will outlive all the universe except Heaven, and would outlive ail Heaven if the life of other immortals were a moment short of the eternal. Now. what has the world a right to expect of you? What has God a right to demand of you? God is the greatest of economists in the universe, and 11c makes nothing uselessly, and for what purpose did He build your body, mind and soul as they are built? There are only two beings in the universe who can

answer tnat question. J ne angels do not know. The schools do not know. Your kindred can not certainly know. A factory running at an expense of fire hundred thousand dollars a year, and turning out goods worth seventy cents a year would not be such an incongruity as you, oh man, with such semi-infinite equipment doing nothing, or next to nothing, in the way of usefulness. “What shall I do?” you ask. My brethren, my. sisters, do not ask me Ask God. There’s some path of Christian usefulness open. It may be a rough path, or it may he a smooth path, a long path or a short path. It may be on a mount of conspicuity, or in a valley unobserved, but it is a path on which you can start with such faith and such satisfaction and such certainty that you can cry out in the face of earth and hell andHeaven: “To this end was I born.” Do not wait for extraordinary qualifications. Philip the Conqueror gained his greatest victories seated, on a mule, and if you wait for some comparisoned Bucephalus to ride into the conflict you will never get into the worldwide fight at all. Samson slew the Lord's enemies with the jawbone of the stupidest beast created. Shaukgar slew six hundred of the Lord’s enemies with an oxgoad. Under God, spittle cured the blind man’s eyes in the New Testament story. Take all the faculty you have and say: “O Lord! Here is what I have, show me the field and back me up by Omnipotent power.' Anywhere, anyhow, anytime for God.” Two men riding on horseback came to a trough to water the horses. While the horses were drinking, one of the men said to the other a few words about the value of the soul, and then they rode away, and in opposite directions. But the words uttered were the salvation of the one to whom they were uttered, and he became Rev. Mr. Champion^ one of the most distinguished missionaries in heathen lands; for years, wondering who did for him the. Christian kindntsss, and‘not finding out until it* bundle of books sent him to Africa • he fonnd the biography of Brainenl Taylor and a picture of him, and the missionary recognized the face in that hook as the man who, at the watering-trough for horses, had said the thing that saved his soul. What opportunities you have had in the past! What opportunities you have now! What opportunities you will have in the days to come! Put on your hat, oh woman, this afternoon and go in and comfort that young- mother who lost her babe last^summer. Put on your hat, oh man, and go over and see that merchant who was compeled yesterday to make an assignment, and tell him of the everlasting riches remaining for all those who serve the Lonl. Can yon siny? Go and sing for that man who can not get well, and you will help him into Heaven. Let it be your brain, your tongue, your eyes, your heart, your lungs, your hands, your feet, your body, yuUr mind, your soul, your life, your death, your time, your eternity for God, feeling in your soul “to this end was I born.” it may be helpful to some if I recite my own experience in this regard. I started for the law w ithont asking any Divine direction. I consulted my own tastes. I liked lawyers, and I reveled in hea ring the Freliughuysens and the Bradleys of the New Jersey bar, and as assistant of the county clerk, at sixteen years of age, I searched titles, naturalized foreigners, gecorded deeds, received the confession of judgments, swore witnesses e«d juries and grand juries. But after awhile I felt a call to the Gospel min

The modern doctors ad not bleed their patients on all occasions as did the former doctors. In those times, if a man had fever they bled him, if he had consumption they bled him, if he had rheumatism they bled him, and if they could not make out exactly what was the matter they bled Him. Olden-time phlebotomy was death’s coadjutor. AU this has changed. From the way I see people skipping about at sixty years of age, I conclude that life insurance companies will have to change their table of risks' and charge a man no more premium at seventy than they used to do When he was sixty, and no more premium at fifty than When he WSS forty. By the advancement of medical science and the wider acquaintance with the laws of health, and the fact that people know better how to take care of themselves, human life is prolonged. But do you realise what after all, is the brevity of our earthly state? In the times when people lived seven and eight hundred years the patriarch Jacob said that his years were few. Looking at the life of the youngest person in this assembly,* and supposing he lived to he a nonagenarian, how short the time and soon gone, while banked Up in front of US is an eternity so vast that arithmetic has Hot figures enough to express its length, or breadth, or depth, or height. For a happy eternity yon were born unless you run yourself against the Divine intentions. If, standing in your presence, my eye should fall upon the feeblest soul here as that soul will appear when the world lets it up, and Heaven entrances it, 1 suppose 1 would be so overpowered that I should drop down as one dead. You have examined the family Bible and explored the family records, and you may have daguerreotypes of some of the kindred of previous generations, you have had photographs taken of what you were in boyhood or girlhood, and what you were ten years after, and it is very interesting to anyone to he able to look back upon piettyes of what he was ten, or twenty or thirty years ago; but have you ever had a picture taken of what you may be and what you will be if you seek after God and feel the Spirit's regenerating power? Where shall I plant the camera to take the picture? I plant it on this platform. I direct it toward mil Sit still or stand still while I

take the picture. It shall be au instantaneous picture. There! I have it. It is done. You can see some idea of what it will be when thoroughly developed. There is your resurrected body, so brilliant that the noonday sun is a patch of midmight compared with it. There is your soul, so pure that all the forces of diabolism could not spot it with an imperfection. There is your being, so mighty and so swift that flight from Heaven to Mercury or Mars of Jupiter and back again to Heaven would not weary you, and a world on each shoulder would not crush you. An eye that shall never shed a tear. An energy that shall never feel a fatigue. A brow that shall never throb with pain. You are young again, though yon died of decrepitude. You are well again, though you coughed and shivered yourself into the tomb. Your every-day associates are the apostles and prophets and martyrs, and most exalted souls, masculine and feminine, of all the centuries. The archangel to you no embarrassment. Hod Himself your present and everlastingly. In the seventeenth century all Europe was threatened with a wave of Asiatic barbarism, and Vienna was especially besieged. The king and his court had fled, and nothing could save the city from being overwhelmed unless the king of Poland, John Sobleski, to whom they had sent for help, should with his army come down for the relief, and from every roof and tower the inhabitants of Vienna watched and waited and hoped until on the morning of September M the rising sun threw an unusual and unparalleled brillfancy. It was the reflection on the swords and shields and helmets of John Sobieski and his army coming down over the hills to the rescue, and that day not only Vienna, but Europe, was saved. Ana see you not, oh ye souls, besieged with sin and sorrow, that light breaks in, the swords and the shields and the helmets of Divine rescue bathed in the rising sun of Heavenly deliverance? Let everything else go rather than let Heaven go. What a strange thing it must be to feel one’s self born to an earthly crown, but you have been born for a throne on which yon may reign after the last monarch of all the earth shall have gone to dust I invite you to start now for your own coronation, to come in and take the title deeds to your jverlhsting inheritance. Through an impassioned prayer take Heaven and all of its raptures. What a poor farthing is all that this world can offer yon compared with pardon here and life immortal beyond the stars, unless this side of them, there be a place large enough and beautiful enough and grand enough for all the ransomed. Wherever it be, in what world, whether near by or far away, iq this or some other constellation, hall home of light and love and blessedness! Throngh the atoiring mercy of Christ, may we all get there. —Very much less than we think does our happiness depend upon what i« external to us. It there be no heaven within, all the externalties of an outward heaven would, be insufficient to produce happiness-Benen Thomas. —Knowledge is the hill which few may hope to climb; duty is the path that all mav tread.—Lewis Morris.

to Tribute on _ _ . lie a)t a *»rilff Tree*. Many a housewife has thought more about glass fruit jars ti l® year than ever before, The enormous increase in price at tb6 fbfy tidiS *h«« tllerc was orid of the best trait blogs thdt the cduntfy has Svcf seed has made the rise in prices fdr Jars tin especially unfortunate thing far the hi any whose purses are sm$tlL. hM fruit hah ifoue t<a waste t&iaase there, was hot money enough to pay the big prifcea foif jays. Hare these housewives, who felt thfc high prices tor jars an a hardship, thought what part the protective tariff had in pillaging them? Do they know that our protected manufacturers made a eomhination at the begi nning of the Gasoil: tfhbn they sdW ttedt there was goifig to be a ldrge, ffdit t-fOg, drid that ihejr bxed ptifchs pfr wh}3l thejF (jotfldi squeeze enorinons profit! btiti 8f thh consumers? This is what actually happened; and a single firm made a profit of 9300,000 this summer out of the women of this country. The whole thing is told in a ite number of the National Glass it, the Journal of the glaSswSrk* union. This paper is entirely friendly, of course, to the glass manufacturers and is also in strong sympathy with the protection policy of the republican party. Hence its testimony is not to be subjected to suspicion as coming from a hostile source. The whole shameful story of how the manttfactufefs combined to rob the farmers’ wives iS frankly given by this paper; dud its article is well worth quoting hCre entire itS it tariff lessen for women. The following is the article: “A Boom In Glass Jars—Green Glass “Houses Resume Work Tuesday After the “Summer Shut Down. “Tuesday fbarked the resumption of green glass manufactories and it took place in the midst of the wildest boom in the glass fruit jar trade since 1879. "The green bottle factories of D. O. Cnnninghan and Ihmsen & Co, were fired up on Tuesday and Cunningham & Co. on Wednesday. At the two places that started Tuesday the entire force was placed on frttit jars on account of the unprecedented demand for jars, the price of which has been advanced from $7.50 to $11.50 in anticipation Of d big run. Whitall, Tatum & Co, of Millville, N. J., started three factories. The trade outlook is good and a busy season expected.

Benina ine Doom mere is » most interesting story of how Whitney Bros., the Whitney glass works at Glassboro, N. J., have scooped up a clear profit of ■8200,000. “Two years ago Whitney Bros, found themselves in a position where it was to their advantage to take the entire product of an outside factory which ran on jars for them. The Whitneys’ own mills continued to turn out tha usual amount, and the trade looked witi horror upon the jars, which were piled up into the thousand gross. “At the beginning of the season a combination was made in which it was agreed to maintain the price at $7.50 a gross. The Whitneys were in,, but even this combination did not let the others rest easy. When the boom came the Whitneys had about 45,000 gross of jars on hand and they were masters of the situation. Up jumped tthe • price. It rose quickly from $7 to$7.50, to $8.50, to $10.50, to $11, and to $11.50, and still Whitney Bros. I ad thousands of jars. They could not ship them fast enough to check the rise. From five to fifteen car loads have been going daily from their storehouses in Glass boro and Salem, and yet but a small f raction of the demand was met Prices continued to jump, and Tuesday offers as high as $13 and $14 a gross were made without securing the jars. The resumption of work at the factories will have no appreciable effect on the market” How does the tariff come in here? In this way: If an importer should order $1,000 worth of fruit jars from Europe the United States government would make him pay on land ing them a penalty or tax of $400, in order to protect this precious fruit jar trust This is called by Ma j. McKin ley and his followers “encouraging American industry ;”and the jar trust takes the “encouragement,” and with'it the ‘‘hint to charge all that their protection will allow them. That $400 does its work. It keeps out foreign jars so effectually that none are separately given in the government reports as imported. If there had been no duty on fruit jars is it not clear that jars would have come in in large quantities from Europe last spring to supply our markets? Would it not have been impossible then for that greedy manufacturer In New Jersey to collect $300,000 in tribute during one brief summer from our wives and moth.ers? Is it not a sin and a shame to give a man in this way the power to tax for for his own private greed hundreds and thousands of households all over the land? Yet such is protection and such is McKinleyism. The republican party in this way puts the taxing power in the hands of individuals, to be used for individual gain, and it defends this system as being of special benefit to the farmers themsolvesl Could human folly go further or human injustice embody itself in a form more atrocious and outrageous for ns? Is lit strange, in the light of this glass jar story that some men denounce protection as downright thieving and robbery? A FINANCIAL QUESTION A Problem likely to Become a. Condition, Not a Theory. Edward Atkinson writes for the September number of the Forum a very startling article on the government revenues in relation to taxation. Mr. Atkinson’s article is calculated to alarm those people who imagine that it is necessary to collect heavy protective du,ties in order to get sufficient revenues to run the government The important thought presented in the article is stated in these words: “The new administration may meet the new congress on December, 1893, with a report rendered by the secretary of the treasury somewhat as follows: The income derived by the treasury from the taxes and duties upon liquors and tobacco is now sufficient to cover all the normal expenses of the government, including the army and navy, snd in addition thereto the interest on the public debt It will be inoumbent upon congress, therefore, to make suitable provision only for the amount of revenue which may be necessary to pay pensions, and to contribute to the sinking fund tor the ultimate redemption of the pnblio debt, according to law." In demonstration of this Mr. Atkin

FUNNY THINGS IN PASTE Their Growth Quite * Myrtery - Vlnrg*r Kel» a Toe* Loaf* •'It is not so very long," said a scientist the other, “since it was an accepted belief that living creatures low down in the scale of existence were brought into being Adder eertain conditions by what Wat Sailed SpdritariecWs generation—in aliief Words, UW Topsy, they ‘just growed,’ wifhont starting from Snjr germs in particular. This was supposed to happed When flour and water Were mixed together, for example, and permitted to Stand for a while. Paste so made will Quickly develop swarms of little animals, the surface ffeifig tSttfeted with small wrigglers resembling eels in shape. Not the slightest indication of life can he found in the mixture w&en freshly made, and yet but a short time CiapCCs before it is filled with active orMitisfhs; Whose term Of being is enly brdiight tti a cidse when the material on which they feed is entirely Consumed. It is not surprising that the observation of such a familiar phenomenon should have given rise to the mistaken notion I refer to. ‘"These little eels are very curious things indeed; They are amazingly prolific, not only having eggs; but bringing forth their yonng alive also. It has been discovered that there are four distinct varieties of them developed in paste. How did they get there to begin with is the question, which has been satisfactorily answered by the very simple explanation that their eggs, set afloat by evaporation, are always blowing about in the air, like the germs of countless other species of animalcules. Some df them fall into the paste, which affords a suitable feeding ground for the creatures when hatched, and they very quickly form a colony there. "If you will put a small quantity of good vinegar into a wine-glass and examine it with the naked eye under a s^-ong light you will find the flnid filled with slender thread-like bodies in rapid motion. These are the eels of vinegar, which, when viewed under the microscope, are found to be longer and more active than the paste eels, though not SO thick They can be seen to great advantage by inclosing a drop of the liquid between two pieces of glass and casting an image of it, magnified by a solar microscope, upon a large screen, when hundreds of eels, each apparently more than a foot in length, will be seen crossing and recrossing the surface and darting and twisting in every direction. Their motions are evidently quickened by the glare of the sunlight that falls upon them through the lenses and which they try to shun.”—Washington Star.__

THE TYROLER. A Hard Worker Bnt a Creature of Stagnant Intellect* > Sion*, however, and almost Imperceptible is the general progress of civilization, Verifying the saying that “a Tyroler first knows what he is about when he is forty.” -He is active in his fields, plowing, mowing, sowing, hoeing, reaping, and sluicing his meadows with the bounteous, never-failing waters from the hills. There, however, his activity ceases; all the rest is a charming stagnation, for he does not much hoe or plow the soil of his intellect, so it remains fallow ground. lie seems to, have neither mundane ideas nor views, and one. is aptj to doubt whether he thinks at all, but simply moves on mechanically in the old grooves. He,plows with the same rude wooden plow, uses a harrow with wooden teeth, thrashes by hand instead of by machinery, and as to steam! it may, employed by railroad companies, invade the chief arteries of the land, but not his barn. He sows and plants by hand. You may assure him that drills would save .half his seed corn and three times his labor. He listens as if admiringly, bnt he sows by hand all the same. Drills, scufflers, mewing or reaping marlines are left to more go-ahead nations, who live, he says, on flat lands. He mows and reaps as hisfatherdid, and who. he supposes, knew what he was about! His rotatory crops are precisely the same as his great-grandfather used and sowed. Rye, the chief crop, a little wheat, a good-deal of buckwheat, only grown in England for the pheasants, poppies,', not for opium but for their seed as a condiment to Tryolese pastry, and a plot of maize; these figure as the indispensable growths.
