9. A man has no more right to ex-

out recompense, than to expect an in
surance company to insure his home or
his life gratuitously. : ~
Il It's not good business policy fol-
one to ask another to indorse his note,
promising to accommodate him In the
same manner. The exchange Of sig
natures may have, and usually does
have, very unequal value. Its better
to secure him the amount, and exact a
security for the amount ofresponsibility
incurred.

will involve no necessity for asking OF
granting such favors, or making such
exchanges. 1t is always safe and just
to- do so.- Prdsrie Farmer =.
FACTS ABOUT L1anrN1Na. = Mr..
Merriam the Usage of Brooklyn
Heights in a recent letter, says:
A few days since q stranger accos- :
ted me in the street, and inquired if
iron bedsteads were dangerous to sleep
upon during thunder storms. I said
in reply that I had never known a
death by lightning on bed resting on
an iron bedstead, but we have recorded
death by lightning Of persons reposing
on feather beds on wooden bedsteads.
/ No case Of death has yet occurred
to a telegraph operator-to persons on
board Of steamboats, or railroad cars,
or in iron vessels, or in iron buildings,
or in vessels furnished with lightning
conductors, and but four deaths in
buildings furnished with lightning rods.
Two persons have been killed by light
ming while standing on the outside
platform Of railroad cars. @
Many persons suffer greatly from
fsar, during thunder storms, ard that
fear has, in two cases which have come
to our knowledge, produced death. It
will be comfort to such to know the
safety which .railrod cars, steamboats,,
iron vessels, and vessels and buildings
with rods, afford during
thunder storms. Persons struck down
by lightning should be, thoroughly
drenched with cold water. > We have
the record of . case of resuscitation
after hours Of drenching /; therefore,
do not get discouraged, but continue
drenching till animation is restored.
The season Of the year fer the fire.
quent occurrencefof thunder storms is
Of hand, and this notice may be the
means Of doing some good. N
The WHEA1 CRop.-The crop Of
this country just harvested, is set down
At POI ,00O, 900 bushels, or about 49,
600 600 barrels, or one and three Gfths
of barrel Of -four for every zone of
the Is, 900, 900 Of individuals in this
country. This would hot seem to be
a great deal more than our own wants
would require, and it would not be if
We had not the Other. cereals, and par
ticularly the great crop Of Indian corn
to help out the supply. Ohio is giving
. production Of 90, 900 900 bushels ; !;
Pennsylvania Is, 900. 900, New York
10000, 900, Illinois 20, 900, 900. The
New England States have decreased in
their production Of wheat, but the
West has increased four to one. The
amount of land under wheat cultiya-
ton this year is thirty three per cent.
greater than in 1885. We FREQUENT
y hear Of production Of thirty-one
bushels to the acre, but actual produce
ton per acre does not average two
lhirds Of that amount.
