According to modern , analysis as well aa to well-founded'; traditional knowledge, there ia an amplitude of potent and strength-giving factors in oats, corn, wheat rice and other varieties of the gramniferous products to warrant their use as a mainstay and staple of food. Bread has been for centuries recognized in the telling popular phrase as "the staff of life," and popular . phrases are usually founded on sound experience. Going back to the roots of the language our word "lord" is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words "loaf ward" the loaf-keeper or . dispenser, who was, of course, an Important feudal figure. The Roinan ' mob ciied: "Panem et circenses!" (For grain and pleasure!) . -' Despite the strictures of dyspeptic Carlyle, the Scotch, with their oaten cakes and oatmeal porridge, are a robust race. The Chinese have for centuries flourished on a fare of rice; the aboriginal Americans had maize as their chief food; the Southern Latin peoples partake mainly of spaghetti and the Northern peasantry eat their black bread made of various grains. And so examples might be multi plied indefinitely to attest the value of cereals in the human economy. At this lime cereals are to be obtain ed in many vatied and palatable forms. As manufactured there is as infinite variety of them which might beneficially be turned' to account ia the daily regimen. The objection may be urged that aa soon as this were done the new demand would cause a rise in prices, but such reason ing would be fallacious, in view-of the twofold fact that the manufactuf- er3 of cereals have conducted in their interest a campaign, the feature of which is a fixed price for cereals, and that the supply is too ample with our yearly "bumper crops."

Mr. B's farm consists of 36 acres, and is carried on on strict scientific principles. He never puts iu any part of a crop without consulting his book. He plows and reaps and digs and sows according to the best au thorities and the authorities cost more than the other farming imple men Is do. As soon as the library is complt-te the farm will begin to be a profitable investment. But book farming has its drawbacks. Upon one occasion when it seemed morally certain that the hay ought to be cut the hay book could not be found, and befoie it was found it was too late and the hay was all spoiled. Mr. Beecher raises some of the finest crops of wheat in the country, but the uulavoraole difference between the cost of producing it and its mar ket value after it is produced has in terfered considerably with its succes as a commercial enterprise. Hia special weakness is hogs, how ever. He considers hogs the best game a farm produces. He buys the original pig for $1.50, and feeds him about $40 worth of corn, and then sella him for about $9. This ia the only crop he ever makes any money on. He loses on the corn, but he makes $7.50 on the hog. He does not mind this because' he never ex pecta to make anything on corn any way. And any way it turns out, be has the excitement of raisiog the hog anyhow, whether he gets the worth of him or not. His strawberries would be a comfortable success if-the robins would eat turnips, but thpy won't and hence the difficulty. One of Mr. Beecher's moat harass- ng difficulties in bis farming opera tions comes of the close resemblance of different sorts of seeds and plants to each other. Two veara asm hia farsightedness warned him that there was going to be a great scarcity of watermelons, and therefore he put in a crop of seven acres of that fruit. But when they came up they turned out to be pumpkins, and a dead loss waathe consequence. Sometimes a portion of his crop goes into ' the ground the most promising sweet po tato a anil comes up the mo. t execra ble carrots. When he bought his farm he found one egg in every hen's neat on the place. He said that here was just the reason why so many farmers failed they scattered their forces too much concentration was the idea. So he gathered those eggs together and put them all under one expe rienced hen. That hen roosted over the contract night and day for many weeks under Mr. Beecher's personal supervision, but 9he could not "phase" those eggs. Why? Because they were those shameless porcelain things which are used by modem farmers as nest eggs. Mr. Beecher's farm is not a tri umph. It would be easier if be worked it on shares with some one; nui ne cannot nna anybody who is willing to stand half the expense, and not many that are atl. Still. persistence in any cause is bound to succeed. He was a very inferior farmer" when he began, but a pro longed and unflinching assault upon bis agricultural difficulties has bad its effect at laat and he is fast rising from affluence to poverty.

Although to day's government report on the con dition Qt the cotton crop did not fully bear out some of the extremely bull ish private estimates, it was bullish enough to start an active bnying movement, which advanced prices to a new- high record for the season. While there was tremendous realiz ing the market advanced to 14.13 for December and 14.31 for March before there ; was any reaction of conse quence. Even then, offerings were so well absorbed that . after selling off some 15 to 25 points from the top the market again rallied and at the close was firm, with last prices 20 to 30 points above the closing figures of Saturday. Business was more general than at any time since last May, for the ex citement which attended the closing phases of the old crop bull campaign did not represent such widespread interest as the market now appears to be attracting, owing to au appre hension that another small crop is to follow. - For the past two or three weeks the maiket has shown an advancing tendency based upon a bullish view of crop propiiects. and" it now ap pears that some of the same bull leaders who were prominently con nected with the movement of last season are already accumulatinc; large holdings in anticipation of fur ther high prices. The f ffect of this buying bad been considerable, and before the government's condition figures were issued today, December contracts, which had sold at 12 83 last month, were selliug at 13.94, while March contracts, which bad stld at 12.89 after the culmination of the old crop bull campaign, had ad vanced to 14.12. While the acreage this year is larger tian last season, bull authori ties assert that the crop this year is so late that calculation bastd upon the condition figures will prove mis leading unl ess there is an abnormally late growing season. The census report issued early in the day bad no immediate influeuce on the market. The Southern spot markets, as officially reported, were unchanged to 1 4 cent higher, - but local buyers pmfcss to believe that the South will be found ready to follow the specula tive advance.

French theater managers In the eighteenth century had worse evils than picture hats, to contend against Marie Antoinette, who was short, even according to French standards, set the fashion of high coiffures and ultra fashionable women prided themselves on measuring four feet from their chins to the tops of their beads. These structures took about six hours to erect, the hairdresser mounting a lad der tn the process. Some coiffures .were almost as broad as they were long, with wings sticking out about eight inches on each side of the bead For the "frigate" coiffure the hair was rippled in a huge pile to represent the waves of an angry sea and snr- Lmounted by a fully rigged ship. As a consequence of these monstrosities. disturbances in theaters occurred al most daily until an ordinance was is sued against the admission of women with high coiffures to the flocr of the house. . in National Monthly. Brown was motoring through the country with a young lady friend who was very fond of wild flowers. Running along beside a country stream the young lady espied some beautiful wild blossoms and asked Brown to stop the car so she could get out and gather a bouquet. Brown stuck to the car while the young lady proceeded to the river bank. In a few minutes time a youngster waited on Mr. Brown. "Hey," said the boy, 'i3that your ady friend down there on the river bank gatberin' flowers?" Yes, she's my triend," said Brown.

Brown was rather pleased with the old demand and he had the bov watch his car while he ran down to the river bank advise the young lady of the request the boys were making. When he returned to the car, he told the boy that be and hia companions could go right ahead with their swimming and that the young lady bad agreed not to look their way. The boy then returned to his com panions only to come back to Brown few minutes later. "Hey," said the boy. "Well, my son, what is it now?" sked Brown.

Wis Man of Gotham. A "wise man of Gotham" Is a fool. but the phrase arose through the real wisdom of the people that lived in the English town of Gotham. The story goes that King John of England once visited the town with the Intention of seeing a castle that he thought of tak ing for himself. But the Gothamltes did not care for the nearness of roy alty and the expense they would be put to If the king should have a house there, and so they cooked up a scheme to drive him away. When the king ar rived with his company of followers and rode through the town he saw all the inhabitants of Gotham going through the most foolish of tasks, each person with a silly smile on his face. The king was disgusted with them. He would not live among crazy people, and so he rode on through the town and did not stop for the castle. Then -the wise men of Gotham, still smiling, but not in a silly fashion, told one an other that there were more fools that passed through Gotham than remain In it Not What He Seemed. Lieutenant General J. M. Grierson tells an amusing story of some maneu vers In which he took part.
