With the principal wheat crops of the
ftorld now practically secured , says the Now
York Sun , It is possible to arrive at a falrlj
accurate estimate of the total production It
1838. Prom the commencement of seeding
the crop scares that arc usually plenty Ir
the critical month * have been missing ant
this tact led many to believe some tlrao ng <
that the total yield would not bo above thi
average , although few anticipated such i
record breaking crop the world over , as I
now calculated by well known statisticians
The most recent of these estimates Is tha
compiled by Mr. Droomhnll , the editor of th
Liverpool Corn Trade News , a recognize )
authority both In this country anil In Eu
rope , and his figures display the stlmulatlni
effect that the recent high prlco of whoa
lias bad on the acreage sown this season li
all countries. A careful study of the figure
shows that In calculating the total crops o
each year he has departed from the usun
method and has taken for his purpose tb
crops grown In the second half of the year
named. In the case of1 those countries whlc
harvest In winter he has relegated the crop
grown In the current year to the prevlou
year ! for example , the Argentine crop whlc
was ready for marketing In January , 1891
he has reckoned In the crop of the seaso
1897-08 , bclloUng that the disadvantages I
so doing are less than In reckoning th
crops as still available which were all con
Burned prior to the opening of the curren
dcason. The same thing has been done wit
Uruguay , Chill , Australasia and India , th
crops of which wcro really in the first thrc
months of the year ; thus In arriving at
total for the year 1808 he has had to be con
tent with estimates of tha growing croi
In each of these cases he has allowed fc
rather over a full average crop except I
the case of Australasia , which Is so far at
\anccil as to bo calculated more exnctl ;
On this continent ulono the Increase In th
crop Is extraordinary , the total this yea
reaching 54,000,000 bushels , or 12,000,0 (
bushels' more than the previous blggei
jicld ; enough to provide an exportable sui
plus of over 24,000,000 bushels. Other total
nro equally surprising and Jlie grand toti
for the world's crop of 2,607,000,000 bushel
compared with 2,270,700,000 last year , or a
increase of 330,300,000 bushels , Is sulllclei
guaranty that the world la In no dnngi
of a famine just ut present.
CriMi of ( lie liiltcil S < IICN.
The crop of the United States has bet
ralrulatod at 050,000,000 bushels , a tot
that Is stated by many authorities on th
M'le to bo too low , but In every case tl
figures are conservative. Russia , fro
\vhlch country complaints have recent :
ticcn heard of drouth , Is Bill ! calculated i
having produced 240,000,000 bushels , or , It
eluding Poland and Caucasia , which do ni
coino under the head of Hussla prope
90.000,000 bUBhcls , compared with 285,000
000 last year. Estimates on the French en
hnvo 'dlffeied considerably of late , rauglt
from 331,000,000 to 381,000,000 bushels , bi
hrro again Mr. Droomhall strikes an ave
ago , his estimate being 352,000,000 , compare
with 218,000,000 , the unusually poor crop
last year. Taking Kuropcan countries alot
wo find that the totals exceed those of la
year' by"235BOf,000 ( bushels , the prlnclp
Increases , apart from those already met
tloncd , being In Italy , 40,000,000 ; In Roi
mania , 23,000,000 ; In Hungary , 19,000,00
and In the United Kingdom , 0,000,000. Tl
ony European countries which fall belc
last year's totaln are Spain , 10,000,000 ; Ge
many , 7,000.000 ; Portugal , 2,000,000 , ai
Sweden , 800,000.
In America the United States shows
gain of 60,000,000 ; Canada , 11,000,000 , ni
Argentina , 10.OfiO.000 , while Mexico , Ch
and Uruguay also show Blight gains , t
total amounting to 88,000,000 bushels ov
last year. In Asia we flnd the only re
falling off , the total being 312,000,01
against 332,000,000. Turkey in Asia and I
dla ore the two principal delinquent ) ) , I
former producing 10,000,000 and the latt
$ .000,000 busheb less than last year. Afrl
shows gains all along the line , Alqer :
Tunis. Egypt nnd the Capo all herplng
form the Increase of 12,00'0,000 bushels wl
which , she Is credited.
Although the world Is confronted with t
largest wheat crop ever produced , It mi
not bo Immediately concluded that the stt
istlcal posll'lon of wheat Is very bearish , I
other consideration ! ! have to bo taken It :
account. The present crop has been pi
ceded by three years of comparatively em
crops , and reserves have been drawn up
to such nn extent to nil the deficiency caua
by an under-production tlr * f"v p * " n <
acknowledged to bo at the lowest point I

Interesting rnct * for Denlcn niul
Unrcr * .
Up to within a short time , reports the
New York Commercial Bulletin , many carpet
dealers desirous ot Including a line of
Oriental rugs In stocks were afraid to ven
ture upon this business on account ot the in
tricacy attending this branch In the selec
tion of goods. To most carpet buyers the
knowledge of Oriental rugs was meager In
the extreme , while with consumers they
weie often Judged by the price asked and not
by their Intrinsic worth. Like a piece of
bric-a-brac , they were regarded a a fuxury ,
and were treated as such. Thus the buying
public was frequently Imposed upon by un
scrupulous dealers who asked any price they
saw nt , so long as the buyer was able to pay
It. Of late years , however , reputable houses
I have taken up thwe lines more largely.
Consumers were attracted by the oddity of
I
i designs and the harmony of color In these
Koodft not to bo found In any other style o (
floor covering. These Importers made an ef
fort to educate the consumer regarding their
character , and the significance ot the do-
I Kirns as related to Oriental customs. As
this was revealed to the users , It only tended
to Increase tbo Interest manifested In these
goods , and there Is hardty a person ot refined -
fined taste but who desires to possess al
least one real Oriental'rug. , This tended tc
broaden the outlet , and now almost every re-
I tall store ot any pretensions Includes ar
i Oriental rug department as ono ot Its varl-
oue divisions. It did not take long for UK
rug broker to discover that ho had In t
western buyer a subject where he could plj
his trade with a boldness only equaled bj
the light-fingered gentry. Expert tcstlmonj
reveals that the buyer has proved on "casj
mark" for the wily Oriental. What Is pur
ported to he an antique rug is afterwarc
found to be no antique at all. The colon
I ° onn fade , the material Is poor ; in fact , thi
buyer has gained experience that , whlli
, costly , Is likely to prove lasting.
Oriental rug experts are few , as the onlj
way that a thorough knowledge Is to bo ob
talned is by frequent visits to the countrlei
producing them. Retail dealer * claim llttr.
or no knowledge of this delightful fabrii
from the Orient and rely entirely upon thi
Importers' judgment.
Formerly rugs had their distinctive char
astorlsUcs , Indicating the country produclni
them : but the tact that certain patterns o :
colorings sell better than others has obliter
atcd this distinction , as designs are producc <
most suitable to the demands of westen
buyers. Such roods retain the characters
tics of the Oriental mokes , without the dc
fects often shown In goods made by natlvi
weavers In accordance with their own Ideas
Of course , there are rugs Imported which ar
really antique , and these nre more hlghl ;
prized by the conno'ssoar. ' They nre the pro
i iluctlons of weavers who adhere to the raeth
I ods and designs that originated with the !
forefathers. They are the results of a loni
period of labor In the primitive homes of th
native v > ravers , wjio devote their spare MO
mcnts to this clues of work * , perhaps vorlou
members of the family contributing a shar
of the labor as well as Ideas. Many of thes
rugs are not particularly beautiful to th
eye , but the stamp of native ingenuity is s
indelibly fixed upon them that It appeals dl
rectly to lovers of orlglnat art.
Tach rug-making country in the Orlcn
produces Its peculiar typo of rug , the Turk
Ish rug showing a marked difference in botl
weave nnd design from those of Persia , In
ilia , tranecasplan , and even in various sec
tlons of the same country there Is a distlnc
tlon In 'tho various ruga produced. Th
method of weaving rugs In the Orient Is to
day almost Identical to the method employe
n. thousand years ago. except In a few dls
t 'ots where mrde-n arpl'ances have to som
extent been introduced. The tying of th
knol which forms the pile , also the deslgi
requires'extreme dexterity , for upon thi
depends the life ot the rug.
The price paid n weaver per week v > oul
scarcely satisfy our cheapest labor for
day. Patience Is no less needed than skll
when It is considered that In a fine Persia
prayer rug there are about 40,000 knots t
the square foot.
The seemingly infinite variety of Orient !
patterns , combined with the Illlmltabl
chromatic scale , are full of significance t
those Initialed. The same patterns have I
many Instances bern fol'ow d far grneratior
by the same families and tribes , with enl
here and there a slight change duo to pai
tlcular fancy of an Individual , but the orls
Innl design was always resumed.
( lost ancient designs arc purely geometr
cal , which In tlmo advanced Vo the floral , an
copying , it Is thought , mosaics ot Assyria
pavements and the forms ot gardens of Pei
sepolls and Babylon. The symbolical <
mythological patterns which certain an
mala , birds and supernatural creatures stoc
for various signs were largely employed unt
the ninth century or until Mohammed foi
bade the use ot auy animals wlfh the excel
tlon of the bird and dog , which have a slf
nlflcance In their religious belief. Of la
yearn the most prominent buyers from wes
cm countries have arranged for their ow
, t exclusive patterns nnd colorings and it
only by an alert energy that these patceri
are not stolen by rivals In the east.
Western buyers have given the preferen
to such designs that have Bold best and tl
individual characteristics noted in the tori
going will In time be lost sight of. A. fe ;
turo characteristic to many Soumaks is t ]
obelisk design. Kurdistan rugs show su' '
dued colorings closely woven , producing
short , velvety pile , thus enhancing Its rlcl
ness as well as price. Among tho' fine
rugs manufactured are the Dokohras
Khlvas , which are produced of flno goal
P i hair , showing a very silky pile.
> In Turcoman rugs the prevailing color
ml , with only slight variation In deslgr
but In other makes of Persian rugs the v
rlety of designs Is almost endless. A lar
proportion of Turkish rugs wcro never I
tended as a. floor covering , especially In t :
finer grades , but were made to serve
draperies and for table and divan covcrlnt
, . i Considerably more could bo said regardl
' these Interesting fabrics , which , howevi
' would only tend to bewilder the buyer.
s ,
While the sale of Oriental rugs ot excl
si\o patterns is somewhat limited , there a
some makes safer for dealers to handle th
IB
others. Those retailers wishing to cstabll
an Oriental rug department cannot go I
astray In selecting the following makes , v

Lord Salisbury may bo described as the
last or almost the last ot the parliamen
tary figures whom wo associate with the
great days of Gladstone , Disraeli and
Drlght , writes Justin McCarthy , M. P. , it
the Independent. Except for Sir Willlan
Harcourt , I should say that ho was the verj
last , and Sir William Ilarcourt's careci
does not go back so far as that ot Lord Sal'

Commons first as Lord Robert Cecil ; thef

No Iove Lout.
Ho had entered the House of Common
where ho became nominally a follower c
Disraeli ; but ho never greatly admired hi
eader , and ho occasionally attacked hit
nmewhat severely In the Quarterly Review
Disraeli know of the attacks and was nc
low to answer them. He alluded to his dli
InguUhed folfowor In the House of Coir

wanting In finish. " In private he explalnc
ome of Lord Robert Cecil's outbreaks <
ndependenco in the House of Commons b
aylns that "tho young man's head waa o

Disraeli and Lord Salisbury were agai
and again members of the same eablncl
but I do not think that , to use the Iris
ihrase , "there was much love test betwee
.hem. " On the other hand Lord Robei
Cecil was always the political opponent c
Mr. Gladstone , and sometimes attacked M
Gladstone most audaciously in the House (
Commons ; but It la well known that he ha
a thorough appreciation of Gladstone
genius , and that he had for Gladstone tt
man a deep personal and reverential admin

Lord Salisbury went on to eay , "to tend
my sincere apology to the attorneys. "
Jeer * nnd Sneer * .
Lord Salisbury was a young man then , a
he la now growing old ; but something of t
same fatal levity has often marred the efti
of his genuine parliamentary ability , u
even his career as a statesman. He sneer
' Indian subjects w
at ono of her majesty's
waa elected a member of the House of Coi
mons by describing him contempuously as
"black man. " As a matter of fact , the ge
tlermm from India , a personal friend of i
own , wns rather fairer in complexion th
Lord Salisbury himself , and in any case
was not quite the part of a wise statesra
to cast scorn upon the millions of her m
cst's Indian subjects. On another occas !
Lord Salisbury , when arguing against bo
rule for Ireland , pointed out that
ono would think ot giving home rule ,
Instance , to Hottentots. The Irish pcoj
I can answer tor It , have not yet forgot !
and are not likely to forget this absurd pi
ot needless and offensve buffoonery. 1
truth Is that Lord Salisbury always retail
a good deal of the clashing , vituperative ,
discriminate sarcasm which suited him
well as a writer in the paper which Jc
Drlght once called the "Great Saturc
Revller. "
Lord Salisbury's character as a put
man Is Indeed" very much made up of
sort of contradlct'ons and paradoxes wh
Macaulay would have loved to embody ii
personal sketch ot some politician of
past. Lord Salisbury is , of course , a o
servatlve by training , by profession and
position ; but he has shown again and ag
his Intellectual acorn for old-fashioned Id
and for tbo people who believe In them s !
' . j ply because they are old fashioned. He
3 an aristocrat , and yet I do not believe th
Is In bis nature any taint ot the Ignc
feeling which ofUn makes men of his cl
and his training look down upon the lo
born. Ho Is believed by all who know 1
to have the gift of statetmanshlp , and
be seems to have originated nothing.
Is at the head ot the Jingo party , and
I do not believe there Is a man In Engl
who more thoroughly despises the prate
the rant of Jingoism. He Is possessed
a certain gift ot eloquence and baa"a ci
mandtng voice and happy faculty of ill
d tration , and yet somehow ho will hardly
d remembered as among the great deba
j' of his tlm , and nobody wll ever thlnl
classing him with such orators as Glacial
,
. . ' and Lord Derby and Bright and Dl n
it During his latest years of power be has t
prime minister and foreign secretary
once , while the foreign policy of England
was exposed to the uttermost dangers , and
up to the present tlmo the question how it
Is oil to end li wholly an unsolved puzzle.
Meantime Lord Bnlltburj docs not appear
greatly to distress himself about the whole
situation. He spends much ot bis tlmo In
his country homo In Hatfield or In his
chateau In France , and seems to let a vain
and giddy world go by as It will.
The AVeliilit of Yearn.
Ho is falling Into years and his broad
bowed form seems to grow heavier and
heavier every day ; but , on the other hand ,
ho never seems to have looked like a young
man even at the outset of his parliamentary
career ; and In nona ot his latest speeches
has ho shown any sign whatever of decay
ing Intellect or energy. He never was a
man given to society , although ho appears
to have been and to bo always fond ot the
companionship of bis friends , and those who
have enjoyed his hospitality all say that
ho makes a most delightful host. Ho docs
not appear to have made any personal ene
mies , despite that unlucky rashness and
rudeness of rasping speech to which I have
Ircady referred , and I cannot imagine the
possibility of his doing personally a meaner
or Ignoble act.
Of course It Is too early yet to attempt tc
sum up bis career as a statesman , but In
deed , it that career were to come to an
end tomorrow wo should most ot us be
puzzled how to sum it up. Was Lord Salis
bury a great statesman who never got an ;
real opportunity of showing bis greatness
or was he , on the other hand , n man whc
had many chances but never did show It
for the good reason that he had no greatness
to show ? Ho may have a surprise In stori
for us yet ; he baa by no means reached the
period of jears when , as age is now reck
oned In political life , he might bo consid
ered as having absolutely given his meas
ure. Perhaps In either case the close o
his career is destined to bo a surprise tt
the public ; n-surprise to these , If ho doei
something great ; a surprise to those , It hi
docs nothing.

The St. Mlcheal Incident reminds the.Sat

of the late King Kalakaua. During one , o :
his visits to San Francisco he was taket
to Mare Island on a naval vessel , nnd thi
guests on this occasion included a dozen o :
two array officers , some of whom wen
young , lively and out for fun. The navj
officers and the army officers had a qulc
little talk , and it was agreed that , as thi
navy officers had their regular work to do
they could not take a social glass , and there
fore it was the duty ot the army officers ti
see that his majesty was properly corned
and it possible laid out on the trip to thi
Island. The fun waxed fasl and furious li
the officers' quarters and the flowing bow
was kept In constant motion , toast after teas
was offered , and on every occasion Kala
kaua drank to the full limit , accepting ever :
challenge from an army man. By the tlm
the vessel rounded Mare Island light most o
the army officers were resting on the couche
of the navy officers , but Kalakaua , steady a
a rock , bright , smiling and genial , still th
center of a group in the wardroom , wa
ready , willing , and eVeti'fager to drink t
every sentiment bis hosts might offer. Ar
riving at Mare Island , he. walked ashore a
dignified as ever'bowti graciously to th
right and left , and in the reception hall h
met the officers and ladles in his eaaj
affable way , and charmed one and all wit' '

The commercial nutting buslncis Is as
suming greater proportions every year In
this country nnd the farmers are planting
nut Irces for profit along with their apple ,
peach , pear and plum trees. A nut orchard
riop ily attended to frequently yields as
much r-roflt as an orchard of peaches or

In o'nw England the bleak , stony hillsides
of farms that were considered of Httlo real
I agricultural value , ore b'etnc successfully
planted with walnut trees , chestnuts , but
ternuts and other nut-bearing growths. In
I the west and southwest land that Is too wet
' for corn , wheat and other cereals Is utilized
for raising hickory and pecan nuts. The
latter , In particular , will thrlvo on land
that Is frequently Hooded with water , and In
a wild state the trees are mostly found
growing on rich alluvial bottoms alone the
streams ot fresh water.
California started into nut culture on a
largo scale first nnd the example tt set has
been followed by most of the other states.
Today It produces more than 2,000,000
pounds of English walnuts , great quantities
ot almonds , Improved chestnuts , English
filberts and hazel nuts. In the south thu
pecan trees have been growing for halt a
century In a semi-wild state , but for ten
years now groves of them have been planted
and cultivated by the farmers with every
promise of success.-
Nut Indnatry In Important.
In ten years a new Industry has sprung up
nnd developed Into ono of considerable com
mercial Importance. Not only has the mar
ket been supplied with home-grown nuts ,
but a wider demand for them has been
created. The hygienic value of nuts Is
better understood and appreciated today and
the consumption of them has steadily In
creased in this country. They are used in
an endless number of ways In our modern
cooking and confectionery. Certain va
rieties yield n valuable oil , such as the
pecan , which Is used by clockmakcrs nnd
gunsmiths , and also for table purposes.
The improvement In nut culture began
with the Introduction of foreign chestnuts.
Our native chestnut is practically ono spe
cies , but there are several other species and
varieties found abroad. A few species of
Japanese chestnuts are not only larger but
superior in flavor to both. The question for
the poraologlst to decide was how to com
bine the various good qualities of the sev
eral species into ono and eliminate the In
ferior points from the cross. This has been
obtained by selecting good American chest
nut trees for the stock and working on them
the best Japanese species. The result It
that a hardy , prolific , early hearing tree haa
been produced , with large , delicious nuts on
It that equal any Imported from abroad.
They are sold In the market as Japanese
chestnuts. Some of them are the genuine
Japanese nuts from the south and Califor
nia , where the dwarf trees can endure the
climate. But the Japanese and v Europear
chestnuts raised In the middle , eastern and
western states are nearly all from grafted
or t > udd < m native stock.
English walnuts have been found io do wel !
In Ohio , Indiana , New Jersey , and New
York , and good crops have been gathered
i every year for ten years past In several
orchards. England Imports 160,000 tree ;
from the continent annually , and we havi
'
heretofore drawn heavily on Europe for out
supply. The trees are rather tender , one
are likely to be injured by our cold wintcn
unless protected for the first few years o :
their growth. After that they seem to dc
well in our cold climate. In the south anc
on the Pacific coast they are not affectec
unfavorably by the climate , and the treei
yield abundant crops.
Next to the chestnuts , the pecans nr
probably the greatest of American nuts tha
are raised and used quite universally ii
most ot the states of the union. Prlmnrll
found growing chiefly In the states soutl
of New York , their line ot culture has bcei
gradually extended to all parts ot the north
They produce larger crops , however , litho
the south. In Illinois a native pecan tre
is found which Is said to be as hardy as th
apple and fully aa prolific of nuts as th
southern trees. Even In Michigan peca :
trees are now found. In their wild slat
the trees are slow of growth and come int
bearing only after a lapse of ten , Cfteo :
and twenty years. But those cultivated li
orchards produce a bushel of nuts In to :
years from the planting ot\ \ the seed , and th
crop Increases gradually every year there
-after. So Important has pecan culture be
come in parts ot the south and west tha
nurserymen make a specialty of raisin
the trees from seeds , and a beginner ca
save time by purchasing two and three
year-old trees at once for the orchard.

The Bhcllbark hickory Is far moro profit

than the peach. H comes Into bearing in
about ten years from the seed. The tim
ber of an orchard of hickory trees Is of itself
a valuable investment in time. Timber
men also figure out that it is a profitable in
vestment to plant walnut trees on any land
that can be purchased for $25 or less an
acre. This is for the timber alone and the
ouner has all rho additional profit that
comes from selling the nuts. Good walnuts
tell readily in our markets and they are
easier to dispose of , as a rule , than apples.
Trees planted for timber , however , vtlll
never produce as large a crop ot nuts as an
orchard planted in regulation style for the
fruit. The trees must ) be planted close to
gether for Umber and the crowding Injures

nuts , are fairly profitable , but not so much
so as the black walnuts. The English fll-

with considerable success. It produces a

wild in the northwest and the new trees
are being used as stock for the general im

that In the course of a few years our com
