Partial famine in Russia and India and America have Good prospects.

The Ameri can Harvest will be Good i a Quality and amount but with the failure of India and in Psia sup plies it is of the utmost importance that the English crop shall not be Short the prospects on the whole Are Good. In the chief wheat counties of Essex Norfolk and Suffolk the crop is above the average and in other Conn ies up to the average.

A traveller thou ghost Western Ontario writes to the Globe the crops in Middle sex Are fully an average and in Oxford very Rood except grass which is fair Waterloo lot so Good As Oxford and Middlesex but Lair Perth about the same As Waterloo while in Huron much of the crop suffered from continued dry weather particularly Klong the Lake where All the crops Are a failure. The Well of English it cannot be said too often that there is no basis for the belief that somewhere there exists a sublimated English language per feet and impeccable. This is the flawless Ideal to which All artists in style strive vainly to attain whether they Are English men or americans australians or canadians Irish or scotch. But nowhere is this speech without stain spoken by Man in his daily in London where cock key isms abound not in Oxford where University Slang is luxuriant and where pedantry nourishes. Nowhere has this pure and undefiled language Ever been spoken by any Community. Nowhere will it Ever be spoken other than by a few men Here and there gifted by nature or trained by Art. The speech of the people in the Mouth of the scholar that is the absolute Ideal which no Man can find by travel and which every Man must make for himself by toil avoid ing alike the tendency of the people toward slouching inaccuracy and the tendency of the scholar toward academic frigidity. Of the two the More wholesome leaning is toward the forcible idioms of Tho Plain people rather than the Tarner precision of the student. The wild Flowers of speech plucked Ber times with the Dew still on them Humble and Homeland touching such As we find in Franklin and a Emerson in Lowell and in Thoreau Are to be preferred infinitely before the Waxen petals of rhetoric As a schoolmaster arranges them.
