throo hundred and ninety two millions tho hay grown iu tho country amounted to noarly four huudred millions of dollars and formod ono of tho chief objects of oxport Owing to tho fact that it cauuot bo successfully grown in tropical coun tries wo havo a constantly enlarging inarkot for it iu South America and else where in the tropicus that bids fair to in crease its production especially west of tho Mississippi where tho finest vari eties aro grown Perhaps thoro is no ono impression moro erroneous aud at tho sumo timo moro commonly prevalent than that when pooplo havo boon vory kind in a case

about life that there is a peculiar sensitiveness to and appreciation of hu man assistance But such aid in such stress is due to everyouo and it is only tho call of a common humanity that is mot when it is giveu It is needless to toll people especially iu a public way that they aro thaukod Surely that inau or woman whom frionds help in the time of trouble or atlllctiou would be cold hearted iudoed who did not feel grateful No ono does kindly deeds at such a time with any other motive than tho knowledge that thoy aro needed aud it is thoir privilege and duty to do them If people would only
