The only wnnXi have .vet
been given for the yield per acre of the
present crop are those of Illinois, where
the official report places the yield at 18J
bushels per acre, against 17-7 in 18X0.
it is, of course, not assumed that the
yield per acre in Illinois is to be ac
cepted as the average for the United
States. But there are some reasons
why the yield per acre in Illinois may
be accepted as an index to the average
yiejd oi the United States, in preference
to accepting the yield of almost any
other one State as such an index: First
—lllinois is the largest wheat-raising
State in the Union, and in the three
years from 1879 to 1881 inclusive pro
duced about twelve per cent, of all the
wheat raised in the United States.
Second—lllinois lies nearly in the center
of the group of ten States comprising
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, lowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and Missouri, which produced
in 1880 about three-fourths of the wheat
crop of the United States. Illinois may
therefore be presumed to represent the
average of the meteorological experience
and crop conditions of this group of
States. In 1880 the average yield pur
acre in Illinois was 16-7 bushels, while
that of the United States was 13-1
bushels per acre. Illinois was therefore
22 per cent, above the general average
It is an established fact that the ue rage
yield of wheat per acre in different sec
tions of the United States con
tinues at about the .same rela
tive difference, as, for instance,
the average in the Southern States is
always only about half as much per acre
as in the group of States above men
; *i, fa.. NLcM-iW-acf ib
yield is always greater per acre than in
the ten States mentioned. There seems
no objection, therefore, to assuming that
certain States are always above and oth
ers always below the general average of
the United States. Now, if we may as
sume that the present yield of 181
bu-hels in Illinois is also about 22 per
cent, above the average, it would make
the average for the United States say
14 43-100 bushels per acre, or just about
10 per cent, over 1880, which, upon an
area of 37,000,000 acres, would be 538,-
910,000 bushels, a result which differs
less than the half of one per cent, from
our previous estimate, which was made
without any such calculation as produces
the present figures.
Some argument will of course be made
against assuming an increased average
yield per acre of ten per cent, over the
crop of 1880. But it will be remember
ed that there has been no year before
this when the crops of spring wheat and
winter wheat were both good— except
possibly 1577, when the average crop of
wheat throughout the United States was
13 86-100 bushels per acre, or only about
four per cent, less than we have as
sumed as the average yield per acre for
the present crop to produce an aggre
gate of 533,910,000 bushels on 37,0*00,-
000 acres. — N. Y. Evenin'] East.
Chinese Infanticide.
Wo have all heard the Ohinsse
charged with infanticide. We believe
that crime to be less prevalent with them
than it is with us. If children are ever
exposed, as has been seen on a wayside
a tar near Honam, we believe that bitter
want and a hope that charity would
provide for the child better than the
mother could have been the moving
causes. Asa general rule, .self-interest
acts as the strongest bar to this vice.
That the life of the male children should
be preserved is most important, as the
Chinese law will compel the sons to
maintain their parents, and in the event
of all the sons dying no one would be
able to offer that worship at the tomb of
the father and mother on which their
happiness in another state is supposed
to depend. With the girls preservation
is almost as important, and they are a
marketable commodity either as wives
or as servants. Indeed, it is no very rare
thing to see a basketful of babies sent
down from Canton to Hong Kong for
sale at prices ranging from $2 to $5.
These are all girls. In denying the ex
istence of infanticide it is necessary to
make one exception. This is among the
Tan-kia, or boat population. These are
a race of people of different descent and
religion from the Chinese, governed by
their own magistrates, and so looked
down upon by the other classes that no
of a boat-woman can compete in
the literary examinations, or, whatever
his ability"may be, become an aspirant
for office*. This class is excessively su
perstitious, and we have heard it stated
by missionaries that when a child be
longing to people of this class suffers
from any lingering malady, and recovery
becomes hopeless, they will put it to
death with circumstances of great cruel
ty, believing it not to be their child but
a changeling, and fancy that a demon
has taken the place of their offspring for
the purpose of entailing on them expense
and trouble for which they could never
get any return. — Temjple Bar.

A French savant has called in the aid j
of Darwin’s theory of evolution to ex
plain the graceful gait of the Parisian
ladies. According to his reasoning the
streets of Paris were for a hag time af
ter the foundation of the city in a very
poor condition, as is indeed apparent
from its original name—Lutetia, or the
‘‘City of Mud.” The Parisian Indies, in
order not to soil their shoes, w ere forced
to walk on tip-toe, which in due time re
suited in high heels, and finally in that
charming gait which is the admiration
and envy of all the women of the civil
ized world. *
Reining a Horse. •
One of the most seuselers, and yet a
very common habit of the American
people, is the reining of driving horses
so tight as to inllict upon them a great
deal of pain, under the mistaken idea
that it adds to the siylish appearance of
the animal. When people see a horse’s
head drawn up by the hearing rein, and
see him stepping short and champing
the hit, tossing his head and rattling the
harness, they assume that lie is acting
in the pride of his strength and fullness
of spirit, whereas the animal is really
suffering agonies of pain, and is trying
to gain by these movements momentary
friele. To our view, a horse looks bet
ter, and we know he feels better, when
pursuing a natural, leisurely, swinging
gait. It is as necessary for his head to
oscillate in response to the motions of
bis body ns it is for a man’s hands to do
the same thing. A horse allowed his
head will work easier and last longer
than one on which a check is used.
Blinds are another popular absurdity
in the use of horses. They collect dust,
pound tiie eye and are in every way a
nuisance. A horse that cannot be driven
with safety without them should be sold
to a railroad grader. No eolt should be
brokeu to them.— Lincoln (Neb) Jour
nal. .
Beans as Food,
The nutritive value of iJfeansvery
great—greater than almost any other
article of food in common use. Consid
ering their richness they are probably
the cheapest food we have, but some
what difficult of digestion, probably
owing to the fact that we rarely cook
them enough and masticate them in
sufficiently. in preparing beans for the
table jhey should first be well soaked
in cold water and then thrown into boil
ing v ater and cooked until of a medium
consistency—between a fluid and a
soli I- neither too thick nor too thin.
They require some acid on them when
eaten, and a sutticient amount of salt to
render them palatable. They may be
eaten with potatoes or other vegetables
which contain more starch and less albu
men rather than with too much bread
or meat. In Germany there is a process
patented, by which beans and all legu
minous seeds are reduced to a very tine
flour and rendered capable of being
used as food by the most delicate per
sons. We have samples of this flour,
which equal in fineness the best wheat
flour, and it is used extensively for
m iking soup for invalids. These soups
are worth a hundred times as much as
beef tea. There is a fortune awaiting
any one who will prepare a flour from
beans as perfect as this flour from Ger
many. Bean soup, rightly made, is ex
ceedingly delicious and wholesome, and
ought to be used more extensively than
it is. Sanitarian.
—Sage and other herbs which you

Harmony in Human Life.
Our surroundings should be harmoni
ous with our life. it is not necessary
to sound the same notes to produce
h irmony. The word implies blending,
but it almost forbids repetition. Nat
ure is the great teacher. Her means
and ends are consistent with each other.
Nature understands too well the art of
harmony to attempt impossibilities. She
is always up to the mark, but she does
not overstep herself. • Where the soil
will not grow lilies and roses, she con
tents herself with daisies, but left to
herself, she will always cover man’s
mistakes witli a carefully spun shroud.
It is to learn this lesson more perfectly
that in later life we are drawn away
from mankind to live with Nature. A
fuller growth takes place when we feel
ourselves in unison with all we see, and
when intercourse with nature restores in
us the balance that human conflict has
destroyed. Life in great eities is in
imical to harmony. The clash of interests
is too fierce, and those who live much
in great centers of human effort cannot
sus ain the sense of harmony, unless
they come away for a time. The form
1 and manner of modern society increase
the difficulty. The multitude of ac
quaintances, and the little time given
to each, make intercourse necessarily
broken and unharmonious. Conversa
tion takes the form of epigram, and
each sentence must be cast into such a
form as not necessarily to demand a
second for its completion. By degrees,
our thoughts follow our words, and
each opinion becomes rounded and
finished oft" to fit into each question that
may arise. Nothing can be viewed as
a whole—we are too near to its de
tails. So near are we in great cities
that it is almost impossible not to take
each detail for the whole. Then arises
irritation, from the sense of the un
fitness of each separate opinion ex
pressed to bear the structure of our
whole line of thought. We have
uttered an epigram, but we have not
stated our judgment as it really is. To
do that requires time and opportunity,
which society, neglectful of the in
: dividual in its care for the whole, can
! not afford to any one of its members.
The utterance, unfathered and without
offspring, must stand or fall by itself,
while we may be thankful if we are not
through it labeled and placed in a
pigeon-hole to which we are as foreign
as a dove to a hawk’s nest. Then it is
that we fall back for consolation upon
ourselves as a whole. —London Specta
