V . I Line oi'Those That Will Heap Ilenefllefroro Dollar Wheat. «

Af Statisticians have been estimating at $200,000,000 the Increased revenue to American farmers from the enhanced price of wheat. This cereal last crossed the dollar line in 1801, and since then the grade of prices has been betwe 48 and 94 cents, the difference bang Represented to some extent, of course, by the various grades of wheat. An es­timate which was put forth a year ago by a government authority gave the value of the wheat crop of the United States last year as $250,000,000, and wbm the fact is taken into consilera- tlon that many of the farmers sold their product this year before the in­creased prices became current, and that No. 2 wheat wos sold lost year for 04 cents, it is extremely doubtful whether

the pain to the farmers over what they received for their wheat lust year, com­pared with what they are receiving this year, is more than $100,000,000; but such ns the gain is, Ibe it $100,000,000 or $200,000,000, it comes most opportune­ly to the fanners of the United Slates.,

Wheat, is one of the big crops of the United States and lias hounded ahead with great rapidity as the agricultural interests of the United States have de­veloped. In 1850 there was a wheat crop of 100,000,000 bushels; in 1660, a crop of 175,000,000 bushels; in 1870, one of 200.000,000 bushels; in 1880, one of 450,000,000 bushels, and in 1891, one of 010,000,000 bushels. About 460,000,000 is the average crop, and the United States produce« in ordinary years aboutone- lifth of the wheat grown iu the world. It stands ut the head of all countries in resjieet of wheat products, France and Russia being second and third, and India fourth, until the recent famine In that country following the plague reduced the available supply forborne consumption and f.revented the expor­tation of wheat In large amounts. Hun­gary, in which the crop is not very good this year, Is the fifth of the wheat-pro­ducing countries of the world, the total of the other« being (by comparison In­significant, at least for export pur­

poses.In the United States the wheat states

are those of the northwest, nd first among them, in an ordinary year, with an average product of 65,000,000 bush­els, is Minnesota. Thetrcomes North Dakota, adjacent, with a product of 60,000,000, and South* Dakota, with 30,-

000,000. The overage of Kansas ie about 25,000,000, and of Nebraska 16,000,000. These ore the group of wheat states, but they are not the only ones, Califor­nia producing in ordinary years wheat to the amount, of 40,000,000 bushels, and Ohio having an average crop of 35,000,- 000. Wisconsin, which adjoins Minne­sota, produces relatively very little wheat, but Michigan has, when the farming conditions are good, a large yield. Oregon hae been increasing its wheat acreage considerably. Among the wheat states of the east Pennaylvn- nin elands first, with nn average crop of 20,000,000 bushels, Maryland follow­ing with 8,000,000 and New York with 7,000,000. Th e re i s com pu ra ti vely li 11 le wheat raised in New England and scarcely any in the gulf states. Mis­souri Is a large wheat-growing state,

AN EXPERIMENT IN SONG.

IIrawly Wanted His Girl Unity to He Mnslcnl.

Browly served full apprenticeship as a bachelor before he was married, and now he is the proud father of a girl baby. He lias his own ideas as to how she should be reared, and. when Browly has ideas they are not subject to re­vision.

“Mr«. Browly," he «aid one morning, "I believe that your family boasts some musical ability?"

“Yes, dear; we’ve, had distinguished vocalist« for generations back. I'm ait exception, but you know bow charmingly Bess sings.”

"The gift is hereditary, Mrs. Browly, but It can be dwarfed, if not entirely destroyed. That uuree you Imve is aboutas musical as a jay bird, Heref- forla at singing are us entertaining as the filing of a crosscut saw. Her nasal rotes cut like a two-edged sword and her lullabies are enough to wukeni the teven sleepers. The impression made on the wux-Iike mind of the baby will Utterly wipe out her grand- heritage of music. Don’t count the cost, but get a cultivated singer to act. a« nursie."

•Mrs. Browly complied, by getting a self-proclainved prima donna.sang for the whole neighborhood without extra charge. She dresse^flve times a day, had her meals sent to her room and was off duty most of the time be­cause her throat was not right. When she heard “Aunt Bess” sing she went into a tantrum of jealousy, «ml after a stormy scene with Browly served notice that her engugement was at an end. As the baby was thin, the mother wor­ried and the servants up in arms, Brow­ly told the high-priced nightingale to go, and now a bright, plump German girl presides in the nursery and baby Is lustily singing songs of her own composition. Browly is showing a commendable disposition to movewith- in his legitimate domestic orbit.—De­troit Free Press.

Ibe question of tan and sunburn, which force« Itself prominently, and often painfully, upon people’s notice every summer, Is one in which modern scientific investigations have developed many interesting facts. Contrary to the former popular belief that sunburn was due to the heat of the sun, It has now been shown tbatltis the sun’s light chiefly which affects the skin. That severe sunburn may be produced with­out heat has been proved by the fact that persons exposed to strong sunlight

the tops of mountains at extremely low temperatures have been burned just as if they had undergone the sub’s heal as well. Alpine travelers and those who have taken long journeys over the ■now have had the exudem« of being painfully burned by the reflected light from the white, glittering surface, and ■unburn from reflection« on the water is equally well known. That heal alone does not produce 1 he effect is clear from many evidences. Persons exposed to the high tempera IU res whicli prevail In the fire rooms of occnn steamers, in deep mines and other places, do not become tanned and burned in the same manner as those who work in the sun.

According to the present, theory, then, ■auburn, or tan, is produced by the nc- «inle rays of the sun’s light—that is.

those rays which possess the power of «fleeting chemically certnid substances upon which they fall. In photography It is well known that the bide or violet rays of light have far more effect upon the sensitive plate than the red rays, and recent experiments have tended to show that this is also true regarding the rays and the human skin. The ex­periments have been conducted with differently colored glass screens, placed between the light and the «kin. Red glass, according to the principles of pbyilcs, allows the red light rays to pass through It freely, while rejecting .the complementary blue ray«, in ibe some way, blue gloss admits the blue or violet rays and excludes the red. Thus, ns ilth red rays hove been shown to have the least chemical power, any red sub­stance which screened the skin, allow­ing only the comparatively harmless rays of that color to penetrate, would be ihc most effective prelection against

sunburn.A rather amusing but well authenti­

cated insinue« is a proof of this. A woman who w«s traveling on fool with a party of tourist« wore a waist which had aiiernnie broad stripes of white

#nd red. After long exposure to the sunlight «he found that she had been burned through the material of the .waist, and, to her utter astonishment, that the burn wo« in well-marked stripes—iptCnse under the white bars of cloth, and scarcely perceptible under the red ones. (White, which allows all ray* to pass through it. is practically Dies no somn st all.) 'This experience would Indicate that red veils, for in­stance, would be the best, to protect the face, and that the old-hashioned blue veils worn a few years ago were of the most undesirable color possible.

Thai part of the skin which receive« the Chemical action of the light rays so as to produce aunburn, tan, or freckle« fs the pigment,or coloring nintller. This varies greatly in sensitiveness in dif­ferent persons, not, «Iwnys being gov­erned by the complexion, although, as a rule, blonds and red-haired person« are more subject to sunburn than others. Just why some people burn red. while others, freckle or tan, does not seem to be deflnUtely known. Doctors usually say that the difference is due merely to the varying qualities of skins. Generally, after months of exposure

Ao the sun, any skin becomes hardened to its effect«, takes on a pennanenl brown or brenzo color, and is not changed thereafter by any amount of additional exposure. But there are ex­ceptions to this rule. There la an old fisherman down on the Great South bay, who. though he has lived in the open air all his life, is continually being burned afresh by the sun’s rays. Year after year his face peels and becomes sore several time« in a season. The skin has never been able to accustom itself to the burning sunlight.

"The darkening of the pigment in the ■kin." said « physician, "is an effort of nature to interpose a defense ng-.iinst the inflaming light rays. Tbj darker the surface upon which they bill the more difficult is il for them to pass through and injure the sensitive parts beneath. Sunburn, however, dodk not do any real harm to 4he skin; in fact, the light ond air are rather beneficial than otherwise, although the first ef­fect, if vhere'is swelling* ond extreme heat, is rather painful."

When asked why wind often seemed to produce burn as readily ns sunlight, the doctor ssid:

"The wind, by irritating the skin, pro­duces a certain amount of congestion, and thus predisposes to the effect of the sunlight. When the skin :s even siighf-

- ly congested It will burn quickly, even in a rather weak light. Jn the same

^ way heat also, by congesting the skin. Is a predisposing cause to sunburn, though not the direct cause, which is to be found in the light.”

In connection with the subject of the effect of light upon the skin it is inter­esting to recall the many cases in which the Roentgen rays have caused some­thing almost precisely like sunburn. IVr«ons who have exposed their hands or any part of their bodies for a con­siderable length of time to the power­ful electrio\sys have observed the sen-

■ations and ebropared them to an acute form of burn from sunlight. It seems to point to a close relationship between the two end to support the modern theory of sunburn here described.—N Y. Tribune.

There is nn old story of two penitents who in the middle ages were ordered to expiate their sins by walking to Rome, many miles, with peas in their shoes. The one put the specified num­ber of hard, dried peas in either shoe and reached Rome, after days of suf­fering, lame ami footsore; the other quietly footled his peas and journeyed as comfortably os though they had not been.

There is a great deni of philosophy in boiling your peas, and there are few so bard that boiling will not soften them. It may almost be said that the true secret of happiness in life is to make the foest of everything, and in so far ns lieth in us to help others do the

same.1'erhnps you think you have a hard

time, there are so many things to vex and cress you in your lot. Suppose you sit down and make a list in writing of your worries apd trials, and when nil have been set down, make another list of your blessings. In most instances the comparison of the two lists will probably be to make you ashamed of

yourself.And it as often happens your trial is

that someothergirl has or seems to have everything you want and cannot get. Stop envying her long enough to think to how many other girls your lot seems ns enviable, ns hers to you. Besides, you may rest assured that even this for­tunate creature has her own stock of worries. Don’t you remember the fable how, when Jupiter permitted mortals to exchange their burdens, the wailing and lamentations redoubled when the exchange had been made, and all came back proving that their old loads might

he restored?And, my dear girl, only think what a

cross your indulgence in ill temper must bo |.o others, how uncomfortable you can make those around you by grumbling!—Mrs. U. P. Heady, in
