The pessibllltlrs in increasing the world's supply of wheat, as well as that of the United States, are mani fold and impossible of estimation. Vast regions of land In South Amor lea, North, Africa and Aslo are await ing the demand for "still more wheat" which shall bring to them tho steel pluw nnd the self-binder, and cause them to yield a food-product sufficient to feed a new population of untold millions. And were modern agricul tural implements nnd ' agricultural knowledge In the hands of the Rps sian and European peasants, another naamon, ine extent, or wnicn can hardly be guessed, could be made tn the world's wheat supply.

The period from 1885 to 1900 was one of unexampled activity In aeron autics, and for a time there was high hope that the age of flying was at hand. But Maxim, after spending $100,000, abandoned the work; the Ader machine, built at the expense of the French government, was a fail ure; Lilienthal and Pilcher were kill ed In experiments, and Chanuto and many others, from one cause or an other, had relaxed their efforts, though It subsequently became known that Prof. Iangley was still secretly a,t work on a machine for the United. States government. The public, dis couraged by tho failures and trage dies just witnessed, considered flight beyond tho reach of man, and classed Its adherents with the inventors of perpetual motion. -i We began our active experiments at the close of this period, In October, 1900, at Kitty Hawk, N. C. Our ma chine was designed to be flown as a kite, with a man on board, In winds of from fifteen to twenty miles an hour. But, upon trial, It was found that much stronger winds were re quired to lift it. Suitable winds not being plentiful, we found It necessary in order to test the new balancing system to fly the machine as a kite without a man on board, operating the levers through cords from the ground. This did not give the prac tice anticipated, but it inspired con fidence In the new system of balance. September Century. REMAINS THH 8AMB Well Brewed Postum Always Pal atable. The flavour of Postum, when boiled according to directions, is always the same mild, distinctive, and palata ble. It contains no harmful sub stance like caffeine, the drug In coffee, and hence may be used with benefit at all times. "Believing that coffee was the cause of my torpid liver, sick' head ache and misery In many ways," writes an Ind. lady, "I quit and bought a package of Postum about a year ago. "My husband and 1 have been so well pleased that we have continued -to drink Postum ever since. We like the taste of Postum better than coffee, as it has always the same pleasant flavour, while coffee changes its taste with about every new com bination or blend.

Dirty finger marks on light paint may be quickly taken off by rubbing them with a bit ot clean flannel dipped In paraffin and then with a clean soft cloth. Egg cups or dishes stained with egg should not be washed in hot soda water, as it makes the stain harden. If placed in cold water, the stains will come off quite easily. Common alum melted in an Iron spoon over hot coals forms a strong cement for joining glass and metals together. It Is a good thing for hold ing glass lamps to their stands. Squares of cheese that are left over should be dried and grated. A deli cious flavor is given to soups, salads and vegetables by sprinkling a little cheese on the top just before the con coction is taken from the fire. To iron table linen dampen very thoroughly and evenly, then fold and wrap in a heavy cloth, Use heavy Irons, first on the wrong side until partly dry, then on the right Bide unlil dry. Glasses which have held milk should never be washed In warm wat er while the dregs of the milk still cling round the edges. It the glass Is first rinsed out in cold water it can safely be washed in warm water. To remove grass stains from jvilto material rub the spots thoroughly with soft soap and baking powder. Let this remain on for twenty min utes, then wash well and put in the sun to bleach. If tinware Is so badly stained that whitening will not clean It, make a weak solution of ocallc acid and wat er, dip a bit of soft rag in It, rub the article with it, and dry it with whit ening on a cloth. To clean bronzes wash with pulver ized whiting or powdered saffron un til the surface Is smoothed. Then rub with paste of lumbago and saf fron; then heat the articles before a slow wood fire.1 Large statues which cannot be removed may be washed with a weak solution of alkali and soap water.

Although born In a lowly sphere, the sand dabs were noted for ' their delicacy, a certain fresh ingenuousness of flavor that made them much esteemed and sought after by their finny neighbors. When in due course, of time gold was found in California and men flocked thither from all over the world, fish ermen began to ply their trade in the waters near San Francisco, and soon discovered sand dabs among the catch. "Drat the sand dabs!" or words to that effect, they cried many a timet and oft. For these were small fish, like baby soles, flounders, flat fish or hake, white below and gray on the topside, and of most humble and unobtrusive demeanor. Chinamen flocked to San Francisco in their thousands, nnd the fishermen breathed a sigh of relief. They sold the humble sand dabs to the unbo truslve Chinamen for a song not a Chinese song, of course and thanked their stars that they had found even a very cheap market for the bother some little fellows that persisted in being caught in good company. This went on for forty years. One day after the great flro an af fable philosopher lunched In a Chi nese restaurant nnd nte a fish that seemed to have come from heaven. "Wong," he said, "you catcbee him fish from Hongkong?" "Xo," replied Wong. "Him 'Meli can flshee. Come floni Catallna. Him name callec sand dab." That was enough. The philoso pher told the wise men at the Bohe mian Club, and they consulted with all the leading hotel and restaurant men In town. To-day you can buy the sand dab at any really excellent table in San Francisco. He Is at his best crisply saute to a delicate golden brown, and served with drawn but ter and a pinch of lino herbes a la maltre d'hotel. M. Lleb will tell you exactly how he should be done. The said dab's cute little bones all rattle oft like a row of fairy piano keys (you know the fairies have very tiny pianos) and then you discover the said dab meat, white as alabaster, dainty as brook trout of early April, delicate ns a sonnet to my lady's eye brow, satisfactory as a check from a long lost undo. Indeed, Mr. Wilson, the king ot nil California epicures, says that the sand dab is a soulful sole. Harper's Weekly. GREAT DROVES OF CARIBOU. Hunter Snys Big Game is Still Abun dant in Alaska. Ed. Tinker, of East Los Angeles, has returned from a nine-year so journ in Alaska. "It's a life," said Tinker yesterday, "of some hardships, but I enjoyed every day of it. I hunted as much with the gun as with the gold pan. '.'One winter, before the law pro hibited the sale of caribou for food, my partner and I hunted for market. We were 140 miles up the river back of Dawson, and brought out the meat on sleds, my Bix dogs bringing out two sleds at a time. We sold upward of $6000 worth of meat, killing 230 caribou. I had eighteen caribou on the sleds the first trip out to Dawson. They weighed 2380 pounds, and I re ceived $1 a pound, including skins. "You might think the game would soon be killed oft at that rate, but If you were to see the droves of caribou that I have seen In that country you would readily Lelieve that there will be game In Alaska indefinitely for the one who is willing to endure hardships with the mercury twenty degrees below. Of course, It a man is accustomed to a steam heated office and has not the pluck to subject him self to hard work and zero weather he can shoot a fine specimen of moose or caribou with a $100 bill right on the streets of Dawson."

It will be but a little while until those who knew us and those who never heard of us will pass along through the green mounds In the cemetery and read the epitaphs on our tombstones.

They may add, casually, that we left a for tune, but they will dwell rather upon the roses wo strewed along the path way than upon what we put away In our safety boxes for heirs to squab ble over.
