A Most Extraordinary Mistake by a
Canadian

\ few nights ago well known
business man INDUCED too literally
in the eXhilarating beverage until a
late hour. About midnight he set
out for home, which happens to be in
a three story tenement house on Daily
street. Instead of going to his own
door he walkeI confidently up to his
neighbor's door, and pulled the bell
boldly. Some time elapsed before
the door was opened; the whiskified
individual became outrageous, and
began to act in a most violent manner.
The door was opened, and to his hOr-
rOr, by a stranger. His wrath in
creased, aud in less time than it takes
to write this, he had hurled him
headiOng out upon the street He
then locked the door and went up
stairs, but nothing seemed in its
proper place, and he found progress
sion almost impossible. He finally lit
4 match, and a glance at the sur
rOundings convinced his muddled
brain that he was not in his own
house. He got out, therefore, as soon
as possible, and fortunately Just in
time to escape q thrashing from the
enraged proprietor, who had effected
an entrance by the back door.

The report from the Agricultural b.
reau as to the condition of the wheat
crop in the several States and Ter
ritOries, shows a favorable prospect
for the coming harvest. The Middle
States, particularly New Jersey and
Pennsy ylvania, report 4 great improve
ment over the showing of last spring.
In the States south of Maryland the
prospect is not so good; but in Michi-
gan and Ohio it is more promising
than last year. Indiana and Illinois
hold about the usual average, and
while in Missouri the wheat has start
ed under unfavOrable conditions, it
shows great improvement over the
same time last spring. Astill more IA
vOrable condition exists in Kansas,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Ne
braska, and in California everything
indicates another of those mammoth
crops for which the Golden State has
become famous. At time when we
need every surplus bushel Of grain
we can raise TO ship abroad to help
pay our foreign debts without ex-
porting gold, bOuntiful harvest is
a blessing peculiarly to be desired.
Also, as England is short Of grain,
and the sources of European supply
will fall much below the average
yield, the American crop will find
ready market at good and probable
advanced prices.

TransporiaiiCp Of Trees and Shrubs.

Plants repose at night like higher or
CARNATIONS, waking in the sunlight Of
morning, invigorated and refreshed.
Through the long months Of winter they
sleep profoundly. While the leaves are
green and vigorously performing series
of labors, preparations are made for the
coming seasons Of cold, ice, snow and
other influences which reduce the vital
force to the lowest point without destroy
ing it. That is the best time in the life
of a tree for transplantine it. That busl.
ness is admirably managed in France.
