Of all these India excited the most astonish Burnt. The western world had long looked upon It as n worn out land nnd Its peeple asolTete; the expert of JiiO.OOO bushels of wheat ene year was noted In the Ameri can papers ns n curiosity, nnd that of 1,500,000 bushels iu 1873 ns n phenome non.

Ouly ene )enr bIiice 18IU baa an enormous crop in the I'nltcd Gtatcs coincided with a very low price, and only ence n very peer crop with u very high price, In every ether case the best crop ears liave been the best price years. The explanation la ulinplu: iii u rule when there Is n very futornble nca seu en ene blde of the glebo, there Is u rather unfavorable! ene en the ether; nnd olnce 1810 the price of wheat in western Eurepe has fixed the price in America. Of this paradox, that increased supply docs net decrease prices, n few Instant os way be cited. The year 1831 was mumor mumer mumor able in the Ohie alley for the largest wheat crop evor produced down te that tlme and ter a drought that reduced the corn crop below the demand for home consumption When, therefore $1 a bushel was offered in the west iu July, it was naturally attributed te the tonicity of corn; but wheat went en rising till it reached $2.G0 lu New Yerk city and rt corresponding price in the Ohie vnlley. In 1853 the rauge la New Yerk was f rum 1.9(1 te $0.80, and the Crimean war wns popularly assigned ns the nole cause.

It is clearly demonstrated that the laud already under tlio'plew in India can fumlsb abundant feed' for the teta' population and wheat for expert te the Yalue of $100,000,000, nud that the British ire fast supplying the incaus of '.ranspur '.ranspur tatien, which was all that was lacking Add te this tlie fact that 125,000 bquare miles of geed land in that country arebtUl undeveloped, and the posbihilltfes of Its wheat expert will be plain.

Tlie Argentine Republic is a new ex porter of wheat, though Chill has been known iu that line te Amerlcuus iuce it supplied the first miners in California; but the IJcpublie contains 000,000 square miles and less thau 3,000,000 people, uud is increasing Its graiu product with listen ishlng rapidity Between lb50 aud 1870 the experts increased mere than four fold In quantity and blx fold lu vulue Yet wheat was scarcely mt-itlened in them be lore 1675.

Over 100,000,000 of British capital have been Invested In a few j ears, aud 40,000 Scotch nud Irish liave located lu a single stnle of the Ile public.

Yeu have only a slngle wagon track te travel en, running up nud down bills and mountains, or along their sides, net kept In repair, nnd if a wagon breaks down your whele precession of vehicles: is stepped until it can be get out of the way. Yeu don't knew at what moment iu this country, new nnd slrange te you, u squad of guerrillas, te whom every read and pass has been familiar from their j euth, will sweep down or llre from an nmbuscade upon bome portion of your long drawn out, BtraggUng train of wagons, all of which, from tlie narrow narrew liess of the read, it Is impossible fully te guard. Yeu must drive nleng, also, pos sibly, a herd of half wild, half starved cattle, who will dash off or stray off in the weeds through whkh they nre pass ing at every cunuce iney can get. "Yeu liave sixty or eighty miles of this rt of country te pass through before you can reach the 80,000 hungry men, liv ing new en a cracker per day. Yeu may ndvance ten miles n day. Yeu may twenty. Yeu may make only five. Dis tances in nn up nud down country llke this nre very uncertain. Y'eu enn't go nt n gallop with a wagon train. Andjeu are tlie elllcer in charge of this slew, lumlwr ing, leiuj drawn out, clumsy precession. iYeu are responsible for its safe delivery te the hungry nrmj Yeu've get your hands full and jour head full, aud when jou've beS3ed read repairs, built bridges, pushed overybedj nud everything te keep them moving, nnd then, half worn out nud half dead through care nnd the (.train of the respenslbtlitj', j-eu get j-eur train through in safety, and for n few dnj-s mero li ed this collective stomach which iiitherwlse would have starved, hew much Ijlery nvvalts jeu? "Well, search our pictorial military an nals nnd see hew much of the pomp, elr elr cumstance und sensation of war jeu find illustrated about a wagon tialn. But Hociety would tumble te pieces today without reeks, kitchens nnd beef cutting men with white frocks and cleavers, nud all the epnuletted figures ou horseback about nn army tin hullo down, man and beast, te very 'peer critters' in a vcrj' few hours if tboy've no crackers te nibble en or hay te chew. I tell jeu, war means feeding ns well ns fighting, nnd there's n great deal of unrecorded glory due the quartermasters nud sergeants who had te leek after the bread and beef which gives men strength te stand en their legs nud pull triggers." Prcntice Mulford lu New Yeik Star. Tlie Chinese lu Cillirernhl. Speaking of the variety of work dene here by the Chinese, they nre employed In many of the factories. They nre the porters nud cleaners of the city te n large extent, nnd they comjieto with the sewing girls nnd the chambermaids. In the l'alace hotel, vvhere I am stepping, the Chinese seem te de the greater part of the work, nnd I see quiet, almond eyed, V ellevv bkinued men in blue gowns clean ing here, scrubbing there and brushing lu a third place all ever this big house. They de work that nn Irish survaut girl would lofusetodo, nud I baw a half dozen of thorn today creeping along the narrow ledges outstde the great galleries of the rotunda washing paint. A misstep would have Biircly killed them, nnd you could no mero get ti negre or nn Irish servant girl te take such n risk than j-eu could llj I visited several of the Jess houses here nnd watched the Chinese at worship. They de net bccui te be n severely re ligious race ns far ns theso in America nre concerned, and the richer among them have nu Idel or be of their own whom they praj' te iu their own houses. There ure, liuvvevcr, half a dezen big Jess houses here, nud each uf these has its idols by the dozen. One Idel especially worshiped is the god of racdlcine, who Is rcpro rcpre bcnted as holding u golden pill und who is supposed te be nble te cure diseases, nuduuether also much worshiped is the god of wealth. The god of wealth is named Tbel Poh Siting Keun, and as all of tlie Chinese in this ceuutry have ceme beie te make their fortunes, he nevcr lacks votaries. The worshipers bring him offerings of feed, tea and wlne, and tlie incense ulvvays burns liefore him. The Clilncse worship here without cere cere nienj. They chat together ns they prnj-, nud often de net take thelrclgars or pipes out of their mouths wldle celug through their forms of worship. San Fruucisce U'ttcr. ('(rollout Culture In 1'lerltl.i. It Is probable that the cultivation of the coceauut for profit will nlways, in Plerldu, be confined te the region en the Kej's uud mainland south of the Caloosa Caleosa Caloesa hatchio liver, though the palm will con tinue te be grown ter its great beautj', or n chauce crop of nuts, iu protected spots, eveu ns far north ns tlie latitude of Tampa and Cnpe Canaveral. The cocoanuts pro duced iu 1'leridn are n trille smaller than theso of the tropics, nnd nre net con cen con bldered se valuable for teed, hence most of theso used for planting nre procured from Central Ainerica, mero especially from the Bay Islands (Utllln, Bouace aud Ituatan) and mainland of Honduras. The nuts that have net sprouted en the voyage are bemetlmes planted In nursery beds and transplanted when a jear or eighteen months old. Only n small per i cut. fails te germinate, though some times the bpreuts are ujcar or mero iu appearing The distance epart at which they nre planted vnrics from fifteen te tvvcutj live ftet, twenty feet is the usual distance The only cultivation given ou tlie Kevs is the occasional cutting of the weeds und undergrowth in spring nnd fall. There Is n popular baj'lug that a bearing cocoa palm w ill profluce ene nut for each diy throughout the jear, but this is a little overdrawn, the best trees producing about 200 nuts per jear.
