Let those who doubt our assertion just consider a few facts. The deficiency from an active crop of hay in England alone in the two years 1891-92 was no lees than £15,000.000 sterling, while if our crop thi9 year is two-thirds less than an average one, the loss (at £4 p n' ton; on which the. above is computed) will be over £20,000,000. If we divide this by two we have nearly £18,000.000, or enough to purchase eighteen such ves­ sels as the one who.-e loss the whole nation is deploring, and this gigantic loss is from one crop alone. Tnis year all our crops are fa'ling us more or less, and the total loss of income to the agri­ culturists of this country, from all these sources, cannot be far short of £2 per acre; and as there are over 24,0(0,000 acres under cultivation in England--where the disastar of the year is more felt--it follows that the losses from this source al< ne cannot be far short of £50,000,000, the value of Ufty fully-equipped iron-eladi."

Ho had shown them everything of interest in the col­ lege, and was hesitating where to take them next, when a ffiend dared him to show his friends the Master of Balloil. An audacious thought struck Cal­ verly, and turning round to the ladies, he asked: "Should you like to see the Master of Balloil himself?" They said they would be delighted to see the Master, who, as everybody knows, of all Oxford "pots" is the most tremendous. Calverly picked up a handful of gravel and threw it against the Master's drawing-room window. Very soon'the Master himself threw up the window, and looked out, red and angry at this unspeakable outrage. "There, ladies." said the bold under­ graduate, "is the Master of Balloil himself?" -• Collecting Coins. Coin collectors have long appreciated the difficulty of making a complete col­ lection of American specimens. The United States coinage of 1793 is veiy rare, and a dollar of the year 1794 has often sold for as much as 1100. A 1796 half-cent is so rare as to sell readily for $15, and a half-dollar of the same year is worth 60 times its original vaiue While the half-cent of 1H04 is common enough, all the other coins of that year are rare, the dollar of that particular date being the rarest of all American coins. Only eight are known to exist out of the 19,570 that were coined. The lowest price that one of these now changes hands for is $800. These prices are encouraging to col­ lectors. • _____ WANTED.--Salesmen; FOOD pay for honest workers Begftiners taught; 900 new out­ fits just ready--cost 4 yoars' time and thousands of dollars, but worth all they cost--the finest ever used.

His comely, boyish face relaxed. He was a tramp, he supposed; but he | was no longer beholden to anyone; he was free! He felt an adventure­ some satisfaction, but was impatient because his satisfaction was not com­ plete. He began to blink. He had w&lked six miles since noon, and the drowsy insect sounds made him sleepy. He ceased to think, and then ceased to know*. Something roused him suddenly. He looked up, and saw an open buggy with a woman and a boy on the seat, ahd some bundles and potted plants on the back. Tbe buggy came to a stop. "We've waked you up," the woman said, as if apologizing. "We thought at first we knew you; we thought you were Oliver Dodge." That the good looking hoy was not Oliver Dodge, but a tramp with a bundle, seemed to astonish her. "It's just as well you woke me up," said Nathan, getting up. "Are you going my way? 1 might give you a lift," said the woman. "I guess we can make room, Bertram?" "Yes," said Bertram.

But it's for his mother that he does it. He couldn't bear to do anything to make trouble tor her, as that would. Hul- bert's a strong-willed man, and he considers that Bertram belongs there.

Considerable interest attaches to tbe miniature torpedo boats which will be carried on the decks of tbe battleships Tesas and Maine, now under construction by the Govern­ ment. They are excellent specimens of modern engineering skill. The boat for the Texas wiii be of twelve toes displacement and the one for the Ma.ine will be 14.8 tons. They will be swung into water from the top of the superstructure by great cranes, and will be used in midnight attacks. The little boats will he fitted each with oce propelling en- Tine of the quadruple expansion type, working a single screw. It is estimated that the indicated horse power of the Texas' boat's engine will be 155, and that of the Maine boat's engine 200, when the screw is making 675 revolutions. The engine will be vertical inverted, with the cylinders placed in order of size over the shaft, the high pressure cylinder being for­ ward. There will be one water tube boiler on each boat, placed in a sep­ arate compartment forward of tbe engine. It will be constructed for a working pressure of 250 pounds per quare inch and have about twelve eet of grade surface, with 480 feet of leating surface. Bulkheads and floors will be fitted where necessary to make the fire-room airtight, In the Texas boat there will be one pm ikepipe and in the Maine boat there will be two stacks, situated for­ ward and placed far enough apart on apposite sides of the ship to allow the torpedo boom to rig between them. Two feet tanks will be provided in pach boat, that in the Texas having H combined capacity of seventy gal­ lons, and that of the Maine's boat of ninety gallons. The weight of all machiney and boilers, including aux­ iliaries and water in the bo'lers. con- flenses and pipes, as well as the spare parts and tools, must not exceed i>, 900 pounds on the Texas' boat and 12,000 pounds on the Maine's boat Marine engineers taice a good deal of interest in these little boats, for they contain as much bottled up energy as anything afloat. The tor­ pedo boat at its best appears to be nothing more than combined vitality and destruction. Within a thin and narrow shell there is an engine of re­ markable force and a projectile of unusual deadliness. The little tor­ pedo boats of the big battleships are the best of their type, for they are the latest and concentrate what was before condensed. --Washington Star. than Nathan, who noticed his smil ing eyes and friendly look. "We've been to the Centre," the woman said, driving on. "I had ] some errands; ajid then 1 saw those ' geraniums and had to get 'era." "She's got a yardful now," said Bertram. "I tell her she'll have to go some other road than the florist's if she wants to have any money left." "Bertram says so,"t said the wo- ftan, laughing. "I -can take you a mile. How much farther are you go­ ing?" "To Moxley," Nathan answered, warming to the friendly pair. "That's my home.

I told him I wasn't bound to him, anyhow, and if he couldn't deal fairly I'd leave, and I did. "I ate my dinner and fixed up my bnndle and started. I'd sent my last month's wage's home,and didn't have enough for the railroad fare, and I'm going to tramp it'* "Whoa," said the woman. Bertram was getting out of the buggy. With a parting smile he took one of the bundles and went in at the gate of a farm-house'. : "I thought that was your boy," be said. "No," the woman answered. "That's Bertram Taylor. I feel some­ times as though he was my boy. I think tbe world of Bertram; there never was a better boy." "What does he do?" Nathan said, heedlessly, and feeling that his own bjtrd case had been slighted. "He does the best he knows .how," said the woman, earnestly. "He makes the best of pretty hard circum­ stances. If his father had lived, be would have had some chance. But* he has a stepfather. George Hulbert isn't the worst man in the world if be isn't the best, and 1 suppose he thinks he's doing well by Bertram to give him a home.

"You'll feel more like starting aloug when you've had a bite," she said. "I guess I shan't start along," said Nathan. "I guess I'll start back." "What's changed your mind?" . "That," said Nathan, slowly. "What you told me. I don't know that I know how to say it. It's made me feel mean, though, what you told --awful mean. I've thought all the time I bad about the hardest time that anybody has; but I guess I don't 1 guess that boy would think my job was easy, anyhow. "I do work extra time, and I don't have the things the way I want them much. I say 1 do, because I'm go­ ing back. "It wasn't right for me to leave like that. Mr. Hogan is paying what he agreed to, and I need what he, pays. They need It at home, and I didn't have any right to stop May­ be I wouldn't get work all summer. "I'm older than that boy, and my case isn't so hard, either. I feel like a shirk compared with him, and I'm going back!" His thoughts had ran still deeper. He felt as if he were a coward, and in his humility he saw things in a clear light To have dwelt jealously on himself, to have 6tickled for his small rights and sulked over bis small wrongs--it was unwbrtbj a brave boy. But to work with a willing spirit; to feel and to show manly concert for his employer's interests: hot. dog­ gedly to study how little he could do, but how much, cheerfully to realize the truth that money truly earned is more than barely earned; and to work out a worthy destiny with strong and ready hands--that would be worth while. He felt as does one who has mad« a pleasing discovery. A happy thrill passed through him. "I'm glad," said the woman, heartily. 41 wasn't thinking of you when I was talking about Bet train; but there! there! you've got the right words now. Sit down and eat some­ thing." Two miles up the road, on bis re­ turn trip, Nathan met a buggy with a farmer-like looking man in it. It was Mr. Hogan. He cracked his whip at sight of Nathan, and laughed. "I reckoned I'd overtake you along about here," he said. -Come, come, get in and go back with me! I don't want to let you go. What would your folks say? Come, I guess we can fix it up somehow. Maybe you have had to dig in harder* n you ought to; I guess you have. I'm willing to talk it over and--why, hadn't got started back, had you?"

Race and color prejudices, always stronger in this country than in Eu­ rope, have prevented many such mar­ riages between American girls and Asiatics as are described in an article on the subject on the twenty-third page of to-day's Press. Of those which have taken pla^c, some have been happy; but it is true of most of them, as our contributor says, that their story has been one long life tragedy. Even an Englishman is less con­ siderate of his wife than an American, expects more from her and concedes her less in return; a European gives bis wife less than an Englishman in respect, in reverence and in daily care and consideration, and an Asi­ atic simply carries the parallel still farther. The practical lesson is that an American girl Is wise if she -seeks wedlock at home It may not bring happiness; but it is more likely to than anywhere eisa Bank confers certain definite ad­ vantages, particularly for a woman wrapped in social interest; but where a* foreign marriage does not bring that, an American girl who marries a man of middle position abroad, and particularly on the Continent is ex­ tremely apt to find herself hampered by a thousand conventions, bound down to trying economies, and of much less personal weight and im­ portance in her husband's eyes and his family's than the wife of an American husband. This is ten-thousand-fold morp true of an Asiatic marriage, fortunately so rare as scarcely to need considera­ tion. But in all marriages the one glaring mistake of our American so­ ciety is to forget that the surest and only safe foundation of happiness in married life is a common training, common friends, common social habits and a life before marriage, as well as after, as much under common condi­ tions in essential particulars as possi­ ble--Philadelphia Press.

For a month or so early in the session he hal to spend a great deal of time in the departments, and so he looked around for somebody to keep him headed right on the rare occasions when he appeared in the House. There was a very shrewd-looking per­ son who frequently occupied a seat near by, and Wocdford was so struck by his appearance that he got in the habit of asking his advice whenever in dpubt about a question. One day he strolled in during a roll call just before his name was reached. He didn't know what was up, but his unknown friend as usual told him how to vote. When the result was announced he discovered to his chagrin that he had voted against most of the other mettle bers of his party. That worried him a little, but he kept mum, and sure enough a few days later it appeared that he had voted right and that the other fellows were wrong. Then it occurred to him to find out the name of the far-seeing member who never took any part in debate. So he turned to a friend for information.

Wales* Most popular Daughter., Of the three daughters of tbe PriUoe of Wales, by far the cleverest and the ] one possessed of the largest amount of savoir faire is Princess Victoria (now 251. who has long been her mother's right hand and who carries on half her correspondence and supplies, by the quickest and shrewdest tact, her moth­ er's want of hearing. She is hearty, jolly, merry and full of aplomb, and there is no doubt that if she and her younger sister were suddenly thrown ! on their own resources the two young J ladies would soon make their way in the world, the elder of the two lead­ ing. The Duchess of Fife, on the con- j trary, is of a sentimental and dreamy i character and more fond of novel read- ! ing than of the jractical work of j .housekeeping. All three of the Wales girls are very like the type of the Roy­ al Hous-e of Guelph, especially their eyes iiid foreheads, and the two young­ est are very similar in character and disposition also. The Duchess of Fyfe cares nothing for display and state, and would be quite content to be frae from the etiquette of a court. That Joyful Feeling, With the exhilarating sense of renewed health and strength end internal clean­ liness, which fol.ows the use of Syrup of tigs, is unknown to the few who have not progressed beyond tbe old- time medicines and the cheap substi­ tutes sometimes offered but never ac­ cepted by the well in! or in ed. - f !yatutt»VHlnt. ' tfature gives a hint, as to all' mam­ malia, that a different kind of food is needed for their very voung than older j animals require. Milk contains the elements of bone and muscle in ad­ mirable proportions, for making rapid growth. But after the young aniiqal has been weaned it should so far as possible be fed on the kind of nutri­ ment to continue its growth, and of all the grains wheat, Oats, and peas con­ tain these elements in best propor­ tions.
