THE CROPS. The report of the Department
of Agriculture for November and December
make the tobacco crop six per cent less In yield
than last year The crop is in the best condl-
ton 10 Connecticut, all the New England to-
bacco raising States taking precedence of Vir-
ginia iD that respect as does also Maryland.
The average product OF potatoes is fifteen per
cent less than last year. The hay crop is about
half million of tons less, last years crop be-
ing not far from twenty four million tons. An
analysis of the official returns for fifteen years
show that the United States furnished the
largest supply of wheat to Great Britain ofany
other couotry, the proportion being twenty
seven per cent, while the proportion for Rus
Sa, which has beeu supposed to be the largest
contributor, is but twenty-tour per cent The
greater portion of the rest Of the supply , has
been contributed by Germany, France aud Brit,
ish America, leaving but sixteen per cent to all
other sources of supply. This year France, in
stead of exporting, will have to import wheat

Cheap Barn Paint.

We should not recommend water
lime and skim milk as a barn paint.
A much better mixture is the follow
ing, which Is desirable and keeps its
color. 1t is old, but we are not
aware that it has yet been suppressed
ed by any modern Improvement:
Take half bushel of freshly burned
lime, slack it with boiling water,
cover it during the process to keep
in the steam. Strain through fine
sieve, and add TO it seven pounds of
salt, previously well dissolved in wa
ter; three pounds of ground rice,
boiled TO a thin paste and stirred in
boiling hot; half pound Ofpowdered
Spanish whiting, and one pound OF
clean glue, which has been previous
ly dissolved by soaking it well, and
then hanging it over n slow fire, in a
small kettle within a large one filled
with water. Add five gallons of hot
water to the mixture, stir it well, and
let it stand a few days covered from
dirt. 1t must be but on quite hot;
for this purpose it can be kept i'll a
kettle on stove or portable furnace.
About a pint of this mixture will
cover square yard. IfcOlOr is de
sired any of the mineral OF. earthly
paints, as umbers or ochres may be
used, by which stone color of any
desired shade may be procured.

A Fathers Advice to Bride.

Said young husband, whose bus
mess speculations were unsuccess-
ful: "My wife's silver tea set, the
bridal gift of a rich uncle, doomed
me to financial ruin. 1t involved a
hundred unexpected expenses, which
in trying to meet, have made me sne
bankrupt that l am" His is the
experience of many others, who, less
wise, do not know what is the goblin
of the house, working its destruction.
A sagaclous father, of great wealth
exceedingly mortified his daughter
by ordering it to be printed on her
wedding cards, ''no presents, except
such as are adapted to an income Of
81, ,000." Said he, "yOu must not
expect to begin life in the style I am
able by many years of labor, to in
dulge, and l know of nothing which
will tempt you to try, more than the
we'll intentiOned but pernicious gifts
of rich friends" This advice is
timely. Ifother parents would fol
low the same plan, many young men
would be spared years of incessant
toll and anxiety; they would not find
themselves slaves on the downward
road because their wives had worn
all their salary or expended it upon
the appointments of the house. The
fate OF the poor man who found a
linchpin and felt obliged to make q
carriage to fit it, is the fate of the
husband who finds his wife in pos
session of gold and silver valuables
and no large income to support the
owners gold and silver style.

"Way, way off," said Kisty, evas
lively. "Isn't 'em good?p
Mrs. Reed looked at her little
daughter in amazement. She had
run against a molasses barrel in the
store and smeared her frock, and
then whitened it in spots with flour;
and as her mother raised her on her
lap, she perceived an unmistskable
odOr of fish about her.
''Kisty, where have you beenY
said she sternly. "Tell mamma the
truth"
"Riding way, way off," persisted
the child, sobbing now.

"Oh! the queer old boy that took
Kisty ridingp
MIS-. Reed opened the window and
gazed up street and down, but did
not see any "queer old boy" What
could be the meaning of this wild
story2 Moran knew nothing about
it. "And surely" thought Mrs.
Reed, ''if man had brought my
baby home, he would have left her
in somebody's care"
Could she have got the figs at the
grocery opposite2 Her mother had
sometimes let her run over there to
buy a cents worth of peanuts,
while she stood in the doorway
watching her. But the grocer was
not fond of children; that he should
have given her the figs seems un-
likely.
Mrs. Reeds purse still lay on the
bureau, where Kisty had put it. She
unclasped it with an uneasy feeling,
She distinctly remembered that after
paying the baker there had been
left, ten cent script and roll OF
bills, and now the script was gone.
Mrs. Reed recOllected with a thrOb
of pain that Kisty had been a long
time in carrying back the porte
monnaie.
"Mamma has lost some money.
Does Kisty know anything about itY'
"No'm," sobbed the child, terrified
at her mothers solemn tone.
"Didn't my little daughter buy
figs with it? Think a minute?"

ering herselfin her apron.
Mrs. Reed was distressed.
at was very naughty to spend
mammals money" said she gravely
"hut it would be great deal naugh-
tier if Kisty should tell wrong story
about it."
"Kisty didn't mean to. Kisty's
sorry" cried the baby. "Her will
be goodT
"And mothers darling won't ever
do such a dreadful thing again, will
she?" said Mrs. ReeG, much relived,
Don't you think mamma ought to
tie these wicked hands to make them
remember?"
"Yes'm' said Kisty meekly.
Five minutes after, Norah knock
ed at the door. Kisty sat on the
bed, her chubby wrists bound to-
gether with a neck ribbon. "Here's
tin cents, ma'am, as 1 found under
the kitchen table," said Nora.
Thinks I, it's yourself as dropped
it."
"Kisty didn't take mammals money,
did herr" shouted the little gypsy
gleefully. "Isn't it so nice Kisty
didn't take mammals money!"
"The next time l punish Kisty, ]
will try to be sure we both know
what the punishment is for" thought
Mrs. Reed, as between laughing and
crying she united the child's hands
