The thirteenth annual exhibition of
the American Pathological Society, at
Richmond, appears to have been a
marked success. About 800 delegates
were present from nearly every State
in the Union, from Florida to Califor-
mia. One exhibitor alone was repre-
sented by 200 varieties of pears. Cal
ifornia sent a car load of pears, grapes,
ETC., which made an imposing appear
ance. But in apples, Iowa, Kansas,
and Nebraska took the lead in every
thing, exhibiting hundreds Of varieties
of the finest appearance and quality,
from States where scarcely an orchard
existed twenty-five years ago, and
where the coddling moth and other
worms have not yet put in an appear
ance. Some 200 varieties of apples, of
great beauty and promise, were also
exhibited by Virginia pomologists.
The occasion attaoted many distin-
guished visitors, among was Mr.. Mori,
the Japanese Minister, at Washington,
who is always on the q,ti yice to watch
the operations of the social and polite
al institutions of the country, which he
says now stands foremost Of all nations
in the eyes of tina Japanese Govern
ment, as a model, for the regeneration
of the old nations Of the East.

Ignati,ls Donnelly made speech at
the Republican State Convention in
Minnesota the other day, in which he
got off some pleasant notes on his re-
cent escapade into the Democratic ranks.
Here are few, which it would be
difficult to improve:
ga good deal has been said about
my returning to the Republican party.

the while. Great laughter.
''if there was any crime in kicking
that leg out of the traces my defence
will have to be that Of the boy who
went fishing on Sunday. A preacher
saw him sitting on the rivers bank.

The monthly report Of the Depart
mcnt of Agriculture, now in press, con-
tains large amount Of information,
general and local, concerning the crops.
The condition Of corn, as reported ii
the August returns, was high, except
in the Southern States, and the reports
Of September are equally favorable in
the Eastern and Middle States beyond
the Mississippi and Missouri, and some-
what less so in the Ohio valley. States
below show an average IN the great
corn-producing districts are: Kentucky,
IS per cent, Ohio SO, Michigan 80, In
diana 81, Illinois IS; those above the
average are Wisconsin 100, Mime
sofa 100, Iowa l13, Missouri 1Os, Kan
sas lis, Nebraska 112. -@t#as7 &
The wheat reports are far less, favor
able than the returns Of spring aud the
early summer, except in relation TO the
Eastern and Middle States, The con,
dition of whea, at the tim. of harvest
ing. is thus stated: Above the average !:
New Hampshire loi, Massachusetts
10l, New York 102, New Jersey i 10
Pennsylvania -l07, Maryland 1902,
Mississippi 100; below the average;

Texas 81, Arkansas 70, Tennessee 70
West Virginia a. Kentucky SO,
Wisconsin 81, Minnesota so, Iowa 80,
Kansas 80, Nebraska 80, California 95,
Oregon 80. The amount grown in the
South is small, but the low condition
there will affect the supply, but little.
The depreciation is about 10 per cent
in the West, which will be partially
Offset by an increase of area.
Barley is reported below the average,
except in a few States. G.>E
Rye is nearly an average crop.
Hay is greatly reduced in quantity,
but excellent in quality. -1...
Potatoes are nearly an average.
I The yield of the sweet potatoe crop
is full one.
There will probably be an increase of
80 per cent. on sugar.

BY the last census Iowa has popu-
lation of 1,l91 ,792, and by the school
apportionment just made by the State
government it appears that there are in
the State 443,667 persons between the
ages Of Eve and twentyone. Conoeding
that Iowa has increased from 1870 to
1871 at the same ratio proportionately
as from 1860 to 1870, the scholastic
population of the State, as above given.
is equal to thirty -eight per cent, OF the
entire population. If the same ratio
be applied to the population Of the
United States it will appear that there
are now 1921 ISL young persons in
the country from FIVE to twenty-one.

One of the prettieSt sights the hmm

One of the prettiest sights the human
eye ever rested upon says the Carson
Register, is pure gold in its liquid state.
We saw in the Branch Mint a jar con-
tanning several gallons of the liquid,
partially precipitated. The liquid is
the color of pure sherry wine, and
greatly magnifies that which is. precip-
itated in solid state. Looking through
the side of the jar at the gold which
has settled on the bottom, II presented
a splendor and magnificencc such as we
had never witnessed even in the most
brilliant sunset--an appearance not
unlike that which one would imagine
the vault of heaven would present il

lighted by summer sun, 1865.

Fashions for 1901.

A Saratoga correspondent of the
Newly ofk Commercial Aeacersiser, pre-
tending to be writing thirty years hence,
gives the fashions for 1901. As it NAV
possibly be useful to the daughters and
- dnnghtess Occur present lady
rel erA We reproduce the description :
4he mgh heels are gone. There are
no more round shoulders, but the God
dess of fashion has not been idle. Her
ways are almost as ridiculous as they
were in 1871, when they used to stuff
out with newspapers, and dangle their
hands and their right-angled wrists in
front. Now they have the front soles
of their shoes made an inch thick, while
the heels are taken of, and every young
lady stands bent as far over back, as
she used to stand bent forward, thirty
years ago. Sometimes the eyes are
painted black underneath, as they used
to be. They said the cretonne suits
were worn for two years, then the
ladies got to wearing dresses made of
peacock's feathers. | noticed the
waists of the dresses to-day at the
United States were very high-the
same IS you see in the pictures of. Mrs.
Madison Gloves have twenty-four
buttons, and extend to the shoulder. .
The dresses are cut low neck-very
low; but the neck and shoulders are
covered with white kid to match the
gloves. These necks fit SO nicely that
you think you are looking at the naked
shoulders. Shoddy young ladies now
wear stuffed arms and neeks, and defy
detection. Young ladies have resorted
to the Old fashion Of greasing their hair
again. The old fashion of powdering
the face to take away the gloss and glow
of health, has been discontinued.
Gentlemen wear trowsers very large
at the knee, and tight at the bottom.
They also wear earrings, a fashion
which used to be observed thirty years
