Official Report of the Wheat Crop.

The Agricultural Bureau at Wash
ington issue the following oficialreport
of the condition of the wheat crop
The winter wheat is mostly harvested.
OF 753 counties from which reports
have been received, 202 are above the
average, 16S average and 3S1 below.
OF 800 counties reporting spring wheat
103 are above the average, 115 average
and 6S below. The average of winter
wheat is somewhat increased, though
many fields have been winter-killed
and ploughed up for spring wheat and
other crops. The acreage of spring
wheat is very largely increased, and
especially in the Northwest is unusually
promising.
The indications of the crop of 1878
are considered at least equal to those of
June, 1872, when the Department esti-
mated the prospective crop at 220, ,000,-
600 bushels. Subsequent conditions of
growth raised the first estimate of the
year in the annual report of 1872 not
yet published) to 249, 997, ,020 bushels.
With equally favorably conditions the
yield may be safely set down at 250,-
600, 900 bushels. Insect ravages, how
ever, are reported in the spring wheat,
indicating serious loss in some locali-

What Causes Badness.

Dio Lewis accounts for the badness
of men in a very simple way-their
habit of keeping the head constantly
covered. He says that you never see a
man lose a hair below where the hat
touches his skull. 1t will take it off as
clean as you can shave it down to
exactly that line, but never a hair be-
low, not if he has been bald fifty years.
The common black stiff hat, as i'm
pervious as sheet iron, retains the heat
and perspiration. The little hair-glands,
which bear the same relation to the
hair that the seed wheat does to the
plant above ground, become weak from
the presence of the moisture and heat,
and finally become too weak to sustain
the hair. It falls out, and badness
exists. A man with good head of hair
needs very little protection where the
hair grows. "And yet" he says, we
men wear immensely thick fur caps,
and what amounts to sheet-iron hats,
and do not dare step out in chilly
atmosphere moment less we take cold.
1t is silly, weak, and really serious
error. The Creator knew what he was
about when he covered a mans skull
with hair. It was a very important
function in protecting the brain. Bald
ness is a serious misfortune. 1t will
never occur in any man who will wear
such hat as I do-a common high silk
hat with five hundred holes through
the top, so that there shall be more
hole than hat. This costs nothing the
halter will do it when you purchase
your hat. If the nap be combed back
the wrong way, and if after the holes
are made it be combed the right way,
no one will ever observe the popularity.
The hat will wear quite as long-the
hatters say considerably longer-be'
cause it is dry instead of moist; in
brief, there is not single objection to
it, while it will certainly prevent bald:
ness, keep the top of the head cool, and
prevent much headache.

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF.
If railroad director were l'shed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had
to take their own physic before admin
istering it to their patients, fewer people
would be poisoned. DR.. Joseph Walk
er, of California, took this course when
he first compounded the famous Vine
gar Bitters, which now ranks as an in
estimable household remedy in all parts
of the United States. He healed him
self with this specific before he offered
it to the world. He introduced it with
a simple statement of the manner in
which he had discovered its vegetable
ingredients and been cured, while wan
dering, sick and poor, among the Cali
fornia tribes. He stated what the
preparation had done for himself, and a
few sufferers from dyspepsia, bilious,
ness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and
many other prevalent disorders, be-
lieved him, tried the new restorative,
and were more than satisfied with the
results. In this way the sale of the Vine
gar Bitters began, and we mention the
fact as an evidence that in this age of
intelligence and inquiry, nothing that
is really valuable to mankind can prove
pecuniary failure-eyen though it
may lack the help of capital, and have
to fight its way against powerful op-
posing interests. Within two or three
months after its introduction, the arti-
Gle became self-supporting, and it now
yields magnificent annual revenus.-

Life in the Indian Territory.

Manners and superstitions in the In
dian Territory are, in many respects,
still thoroughly Indian. Hospitality is
unbounded, and as soon as an Indian OF
wealth and station takes a wife, all her
relatives, even the most distant, come
to live on his estate, and remain for
ever, or until they have impoverished
him. The tyranny of mothers-in-law in
the Territory is something frightful to
contemplate. One Indian gave as ms
reason for not wishing to get rlch, the
torments which his relatives, In case ne
married, would cause him. Food is
simple throughout all the nations.
Corn, ground with mortar and pestle,
furnishes the material for bread (; a few
vegetables are grown and game, hogs,
and cattle are abundant. The hog OF
the Indian Territory Is 9 singular ami
NAL. Having run wild all his life, he is
as distinguished for thinness as are his
brethren OF civilization for corpulenee,
and his back well merits the epithet OF
razor:edge applied to it. Stock feeds
itself, winter and summer, and there is
rarely season when it is necessary to
put up any hay. In the winter Of 1871
grass was green up to the middle Of
December along the Arkansas bottom.
Marriage is gradually becoming an
institution among all the tribes, the Ell.
forts of the missionaries tending to en-.
courage it +; but heretofore men and
women have simply chosen each other
as companions, and have lived together
and reared families. Usually young
man who has become enamored OF
maiden, ingratiates himself with hel
brother, or with near male relative
and the latter intercedes with the
father. If the father considers tht
suitor favorably, he puts him on prtoba
ton, and at the end of certain tern
receives him, and presents him to th'
daughter as her future husband. Th'
family relation seems much respected
and is guarded against disorganizatior
by many excellent laws.

A Valuable Religious Work.

The great want of the day has been a
popular religious work, suited to the
comprehension of the masses, which
should occupy the broad ground OF
Orthodox Christianity, and carefully
avoid all sectarian issues. This want
has been supplied in the work which
the National Publishing Co. of Phila-
delphia, have just issued, entitled
"The Light in the East" 1t is a
handsome octove volume, of $50 pages,
illustrated with over 200 fine engrav-
ings, by the best artists of England and
America.
The title of the book has been well
chosen; since the volume contains o
clear and comprehensive condensation
of all the blessed light that has dawned
upon us from the East. The basis OF
the work is Flcetwood's Life of Christ,
that exquisite production of one Of the
most brilliant divines of the last century.
1t tells the story of the Redeemer's life
and sufferings, with simple eloquence
and fervor, and is 30 conservative in its
spirit, that men of all denominations
have united in cordially endorsing it.
Following the Life of Christ we have
brief, but comprehensive biographies
of the Apostles, the Prophets, the
Martyrs, and the principal Holy Men
and Women of the Jewish dispensation
and the early church. They are ad,
mirably written, and contain q vast
amount of entertaining and instructive
reading covering all the ground from
st. John to the Reformation.
Added to these is a history OF the
Jews, embracing the entire narrative OF
the Scriptures, and extending it down
to the beginning of the present century.
This constitutes very attractive feature
of the book, and will be eagerly read
by all. There is nothing so inte testing
or thrilling in all the range of romance
as the history of the chosen people oil
God. Then follows series of sketches
of the principal religious denominations
of the world, in all ages, which is full
of instruction and valuable for refer
ence. The book closes with Chrome
logical table, by means of which the
reader is enabled to follow the progress
of the Gentle world, whilst Israel was
working out her destiny.
Thus we have in this splendid volume
complete and comprehensive library
of religious literature. The Editor ha'
included in it all that it is essential fol
Christian to know, and much that Ii
pleasant to read of. The book is de
cidedly the most attractive and usefu

A StOWaway Dog.

Many years ago, upon returning from
q residence in Italy, we took steamer
from Leghorn to Liverpool to avoid the
fatigue of the land journey. On coming
into port at Marseilles we were detained
several days, the ships boatsplying be-
tween the steamer and the shore, the
harbor being. as usual, crowded with
ships of every nation and description.
On the second day after leaving port a
most miserable, half-starved dog, ter-
rier), one side of whose body was a
mass of pitch, was observed to crawl
upon the companion-ladder, giving a
terrified look around him.
Much surprised at the sight of the
wretched animal, the captain exclaimed,
"Whose dog can this be ?" and the in
quiry went round among the several
passengers and crew. No one owned
him, and the steward following him on
deck explained that he had found the
poor creature hidden away in an empty
berth. Captain NJ, kind and humane
man, proposed to adopt him as one Of
the ships company, and setting him up
ON his hind legs made pretence of CIV
ing him a dozen as punishment forhis
coming on board as stowaway, greatly
to the amusement of the children, and
then named him Jack.
A sailor creased his coat and set him
free from the pitch, making him look
more respectable ; and with good living
and kind treatment Jack soon recovered
his spirits and seemed, out gratitude,
to attach himself specially to the cap
tain.
If spoken to in any other language
than English he would remain quite un
concerned, but "Good dog" "Good
old fellow" would make him wag his
tail and look happy.
Before coming into the Mersey we
took in our pilot. Then asudden change
came over Jack, who had been a most
quiet, peaceeble traveller he srewquite
excited, running up and down. onto the
bridge, and jumping up to get look
over the side; so great was his evident
excitement the nearer we came to Liv-
erpool that he attracted the attention of
every one on board. On reaching our
destination, and while as yet the steam
er had scarcely stopped, the ropes for
mooring being only thrown on shore,
Jack was observed to mount a case of
oranges placed at the side of the steam
er, and with one bound leap on shore in
a moment.
"Follow that dog" cried the captain
to man standing on the wharf, "and
see where he goes" Off set the man,
and after some time returned quite out
of breath, saying he had been obliged
to give over the chase, Jack having set
off at a quick run up one street and
down another, evidently taking the
nearest road home. The curious fact
was how the dogs instinct enabled him
to choose out of the many ships lying
around one whose destination was Liv-
erpool. How he came on board none of
the sailors could tell but that he was
doing wrong he evidently knew by hid
ing himself away until discovered by
the steward.

A Little too Late.

Competition is said to be the "life
of trade" writes correspondent, and
I suppose it is; but it may be carried
to extremes, as, I think, the Drawer
will admit after reading this. Having
been appointed to administer on the
estate of neighbor recently deceased,
1 was greatly annoyed by solicitations
for an order for the grave-stones for the
departed. After some three or four
weeks a very gentlemanly marble
man" introduced himself, told me his
business, and asked for "the job" 1
replied that as soon rs it was known
a person was dangerously i'll, ga grave
stone man" made his appearance, de-
manded "the job," and asked for the
inscription for the head-stone. He
replied that he knew it was 80, and add
ed, "I don't do it, and won't, for it
isn't decent; but often find myself in
the same fix that Deacon B was
in"
"How was that?' I asked.
"Why," said he, "old Deacon B
had long had his eye on Mrs. W,
whose husband had for several weeks
fingered on the borders of the grave. A
few days after the funeral of Brother
W the deacon made friendly call
on the widow, and in the course of the
conversation remarked that he proposed
to offer her the consolation of his hand
and heart, which he hoped would not
be unacceptable to her. oh, deacon,
she replied, you are too late: Elder

for having sold to the plaintiff as butter

the court said that when, on being asked
for butter, tradesman handed an arti-

not mixture of the horrible ingredi-

Peculiar Ceremonies Over the Corpse OF .
Chinese Laundryman.
Lu Ching Choo, who had served for
two years in Capt. Harvey's laundry at
Relleville, N. j., died surrounded by
his friends and countrymen. Lu Ching
Choo had become foreman and was
well liked by all his fellow washermen
in Belleville. On his death bed he COM
missioned theinterpreter of the laundry
to convey to his wife in the fowery
kingdom the intelligence of his death.
When he was at the point Of death his
fellow-laundrymen gathered around the
bedside first to mutter in their vernacu-
lar fervent supplications, to Joss, and
then to look oh In melancholy silence at
the death struggle of their countrymen.
When he breathed his last there was
loud Gathering of wooden shoes, for
those who mad surrounded the death bed
we're fastening to their respective quar-
ters in search of joss sticks which they
tremendously distributed among their
countrymen without distinction, wheth-
er faithful or Christianized. There was
hardly word uttered. The Celestials
seemed to act automatically after the
death.
The next afternoon the corpse was
placed in freshly-bleached blouse and
pair of baggy pantaloons. Its jet
black pigtail was arranged with taste
nor was the corpse wanting in a new
pair of wooden shoes to make easy its
invisible journey to the Land of Flow
ers. Without coffin or shroud, the
mortal remains of Lu Ching Choo were
borne slowly and silently down the
stairs of the laundry, followed by his
brethren. On reaching the place OF
burial the Celestials filed off in good or
der, and nearly formed a circle around
the grave. LII Ching Choo was rever-
emily lowered iute the grave, and this
ceremony was followed by a iingling OF
strange prayers. Then the Interpreter,
who seemed to superintend the burial
service. lighted a pile of papers and
threw them into the grave. Each OF
the Cinnamon increased the burning
pile by throwing other pieces of paper
on it. They burned joss sticks and
piously cast them into the grave, so
that tie soul of the departed might as
cend in the flames and smoke to realm
of perpetual happiness. After the Gov
ering of the grave, prayers were NUT
tered, and two-cent and one-cent pieces
were distributed among the spectators.
