In - -s ex-.-emitv he thought of John Ja cob Astor. with whom his father had bees associa'ed in the fur trade and with whom Gerrit Smith had nad erne busin-ss dealings. Therefore he w-at to New- York and saw Mr. y*'or. say ng that he needed a large amount of money, ready cash, in order to prevent bankruptcy. “Mr. Astor. who was a very careful man in all his business engagements and always looked with especial scru tiny at security which was offered to him for a loan, asked Mr. Smith hew much money he needed, and was told that about three hundred thousand dollars, which was a large sum for that time, would be required. Mr. Astor then asked what security could be given for so large a lean as that, and Mr. Smith replied that he would gtve the security of bonds and mortgage upon several thousand acres of lard which he owned in the vicinity ot Pcterboro. N. V.. his home. “Now. usually Mr. Astor would hare required a search of title to be made so that it could be known whether or not the borrower tad good title to the real estate which he offered as securi ty. In addition, Mr. Astor would have insisted on a good many other lega! formalities: it was unprecedented tor him to make a loan and deliver over the money until he had the security in hand. But he simply said to Mr. Smith that he would lend him the money and that Mr. Smith upon his return to Peterboro could have mort gage bonds made out and executed, recorded and sent to Mr. Astor. A lit tle while later Gerrit Smith started home with the three hundred thou sand collars and Mr. Astor had no other security for it that GerrU Smith's word. But he knew GerrU Smith ar.d realized that his word was as good as bis bond. "As soon as possible after Smith re turned to his home he had the mortgages made out and executed and instructed a clerk to send them to Mr. Astor. But through some acci dent the mortgages were not sent to Mr. Astor. They were overlooked and then forgotten. Nor did Mr. Astoi ever remind Mr. Smith by letter that he had not fulfilled his promise tc execute and deliver mortgage bonds securities for the loans. “Nearly a year passed and Mr Smith was again In New York when meeting Mr. Astor. be spoke of the loan, saying that he hored to repay it in the course of a year or two.

Demonstrated the Limitations of the Best cf Mathematicians. Fcr nearly a quarter of a century, or from 1S70 until 1994. William A. Camp was the manager of the New York Clearing House association. He was a little man with bright, dark eyes, bushy eyebrows, thick hair which in the later years of his life be came iron-gray, and a grizzly beard. Mr. Camp was a conspicuous personal ity in the financial world of New York, not only because he was the manager of the largest clearing house associa tion of the world, but also on account of a delightful quaintcess of personal ity and the whimsical and odd way he had of lookiEg at life, and especially the life of the clearing house. "Although this institution is called the New Y’ork Clearing House asso ciation," he said to me one day. "yet it is. in fact, the great clearing house of the United States. 1 should say Rescued a Great Classic ia~es T. Fields' Story of the Way m Which He Came to Get "The Scarlet Letter" From Na thaniel Hawthorne. Ore of the great American publish er* of yesterday was James T. Fields ’. s 17 8: i ol Boston As one account * his life has It: "His charming per .-onaJ qualities, bis sympathy, his lib erality to all with whom he dealt, and h:s unquestioned literary judgment drew to him most of the best known American authors of the time, and be bes-ame the publisher of Longfellow. Hawthorne. Emerson. Holmes, Whit tier and Lowell, besides Introducing Tennyson and Browning to American readers even before their true worth was recognized in England." Mr. Fields edited the Atlantic Monthly for eight years, beginning in 1862, and the last ten years of his life be spent in authorship and lecturing. In the course of a conversation 1 had with this distinguished publisher ob the day of his return from Europe in 1879—his last trip across the At lantic—1 asked Sim if it were true, as I had heard, that be had rescued the manuscript of Hawthorne’s "Scar let Letter" from what seemed to be a permanent burial place. "Yes." he said, "and I have alluded to that incident In one of my lec tures I bad been to see Hawthorne at Salem: he was then an officer in the custom house there, and although he had done nothing in a literary way to make him famous. I was in hopes that he might have by him a manu script or that I might persuade him to write something which would be available for publication He told me that be had nothing, but just as 1 was about to leave he opened a draw er and took from It some manuscript, saying to me that he was doubtful whether it was worth publishing or not. He also said that be had been occupied w ith it in hi6 leisure mo ments while serving as surveyor of the port of Salem. “I tucked the manuscript in my pocket and took it away with me. It was the manuscript of the ‘Scarlet Letter.’ All the world knows the rest of the story. 1 have always felt proud that I should have been the discoverer of that immortal classic." "But." said 1. “I have heard. Mr. Fields, that you were so doubtful about getting your money back from the publication of the romance that you actually ordered the work to be stopped and the types distributed.” 'There was Just enough color of truth in that report to account for its circulation, and yet it was very wide of the mark.” said Mr. Fields. "In those days (1850) we often printed directly from type, not taking the trouble to stereotype a book. After a few thousand copies of The Scarlet I letter' bad been printed we were so doubtful about the work becoming pop ular. although we were sure that it i would have a good sale among culti- I vated people, that we did order the printer to distribute the types. But the instant the book appeared we knew that It was to be a popular suc cess: any publisher can tell by the feel of the market whether a booVis a dead failure or not. So we ordered the printers to reset the copy as rap idly as possible and the printing of additional copies was begun in the course of a few days. You can judge how accurate our forecast was when I tell you that the book sold nearly six thousand copies in a little OTer three weeks. And the fortune and the fame of Nathaniel Hawthorne were by that, publication secured.” (Copyright. 1911. by E. J Edwards.

"One day there came to see me t young man from somewhere in the west who had been recommended tc me highly because he was of cxcep tional capacity as a mathematician. "He asked me to test him with coi tunes of fig -?s. I made two parallel columns, each one containing. I should say. 15 separate sets of figures, some of them in hundreds—as. tor instance S95. Then I put the example before him. he locked at it a minute, and. with a sort of whiff of his breath, set down the correct answer, having add j ed the figures almost in the twinkling ! of an eye. "1 tested him the same way with ■ complicated examples in subtraction. ; muitiplieatton and division and he gave me the correct answers almost in an instant. "Well, 1 said to him that those were remarkable qualifications, but what I | was looking for was a young man wnc could count without assistance above ; 1,000. “He seemed disposed to laugh at mj > suggestion, intimating that it was easj enough to do that. "I told him to go ahead, sit there it my presence, begin with one and count up. He got along all right until he reached 600. Then he began to stag per mentally. I saw him eye a pen cil and pad of paper, but I would not let him have these aids. Too see having got up to 600. he wanted ti start all over again. He broke dow* completely before he reached TOO. al though I think he went farther in hfc mental count than any young man whom 1 ever tested. “I presume that a young man o; mathematical ability can train himself I to count much higher than 1.000. but my experience as manager of the clearing house has satisfied me that the average intelligent young man. even though be be possessed of fair mathematical ability, cannot count con secutively without aid much above 600 or TOO. “Of course, from one point of view, i this is of no consequence in the man agement of this association. But I I have heard so much said about the ca pacity of the human mind to grasp figures that I have always tested that capacity when opportunity afforded. I think I have demonstrated that It is practically impossible for human mind to count consecutively and with- i out aid much above 1.000. And I have never found anyone—banker or em ploye—whose mind has been able to j grasp the magnitude of the figures which represent the transactions of this association, for they reach far up into the trillions.’* (Copyright. 1911. by E.

The saguaja. or giant cactus, a sen- j tinel left of the ancient gods, often rises to a height of forty or fifty feet, ; sometimes as a single shaft, some- ; times lifting a group of arms straight j into the sky. This plant affords a i home for woodpeckers, wrens and an i occasional western martin. The wood pecker makes an entrance by pecking i at a slight defect in the outer wail. Once within the work is easy. Bits 1 of fibre are detached, making a room, and there the nest is placed, cool and safe and shielded from wind and sand storms. These homes are often en larged by making tunnels and corri dors. so that a bird may enter a hole in one part of the plant and Leave it by another. When these homes are abandoned by their builders the mar- ; tins and wrens take possession cf 1 them The cholla, which is a low. branch ing and very prickly cactus, is used by the thrashers and thrushes for their nests. The birds are soon near the color of the plant, and the approach to the nest is so hedged abont bv thorns that they are safe rrom the ever-present bands of marauding snakes, hawks and ground owls. The last is a most ridiculous bird; stand ing out on the desert it might be ta ken for a dead cactus plant. The dove, fco, nests in tbe cactus, but does not often choose the choUa. risking a less vicious refuge, for the young birds in making their first flight are often spiked by the terrible thet a.— Country Life in America. -- Quack!

The reports that come to hand from the wheat fields of the western Cana dian provinces show remarkably good yields in all parts. Yields are record ed of wheat going 35 and 40 bushels in many places, and oats from CO to 100 bushels per acre. Barley and flax are'splendid. The thousands of Amer- \ icans throughout the United States who have friends in M&niroba. Sas katchewan or Alberta will be pleased to learn of the great success that has followed their efforts. Many of these have not confined themselves to the growing of grain, but have also gone into the cattle industry. On the luxurious grasses that are sc abun dant there, in almost all districts, make this industry safe and profitable. The land sales reported by the rail way companies and by the different land companies show the great in crease that will likely tske place during the next year in fanning oper ations. What has been said time and time again may now be well repeated, that there is no place os the Ameri can continent where the same oppor tunities are afforded the man looking for a home, for the young man start ing out in life, the man with a grow ing up family, who desires wider scope for his ambition. The Cana dian government agents located at different points in the states will be glad to advise the reader of the condi tions. and relate to him instances of the great success that has followed farming in Western Canada.
