THE CROPS.


The following is a synopsis of the summa-
ries published by the National Crop Reporter
of the goth June TIT weather in the Missis-
sippi, Missouri and Ohio valleys during the
last week has been generally very favorable to
the growing grain. The average rainfall has
been one inch and ffty-nine hundredths,
fairly distributed over the country. The re-
turns of correspondents indicate for the States
of Illinois. Indiana. Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin a decrease in
the probable yield of hay this year as COM
pared with last. averaging seven and four
tenths per cent. Reports relative to the con-
dition of swine in the same States indicate for
June 1 an increase since April 1 of seven and
six-tenths per cent. The average condition
June l was eleven and one-half per cent. be-
low a good average condition. The condition
Of the growing barley and rye, Jun l, in the
same States. WAS respectively six and Fix
tenths and five'and four-tenths per cent. be-
low a good average.
The Chicago Tribune prints full and care
rul!y-prepared Geographic reports OF the con-
NUN " III tI'He ApAc bIp Ahs' " tH' am
cipal railroads centering in that city. A large
increase in the yield of corn over last year,
and an average wheat crop, are predicted,
while it i. thought The oat crop will fall
slightly below The average. Other grains are
reported as doing well. An early harvest is
predicted.
The wheat yield Of Southern Illinois is
better than for ten years past.
Intelligence from the tobacco region of
Kentucky gives very gloomy accounts OF the
tobacco crop. The dry weather has in many
sections entirely destroyed the young plants,
and in many instances fields have been plowed
up and corn planted. 1t is the general i'm
preston OF planters that there will not be
half Il crop.
Springfield, III reports, June 25: Tho
wheat harvest has commenced. The crop is
very large and the quality excellent. The
prospects for an unprecedented yield OF corn
we're never better

the regular order, goes over till the next ses-

The Civil Service Commission has re-
ceived a temporary lease of life. 1t is to be
tolerated until next December, provided it can
exist without money, for both Houses OF Con-
gress refused to appropriate anything for the
purpose of maintaining its existence.
The Utah bill passed both Houses of Con-
gress, after being stripped of it's most impor-
tant provisions. The section excluding Nor
mons from Juries indivor,e cases was strick-

the powers of Probate Courts. As it now
stands the act is powerless to interfere with

THE OPAL RING.
BY LOUISE BILLINss sPAUIDINe.

Once there lived within the wonderous South.
A lady fair, whose fame filed every mouth,
For she had wealth and beauty rare TO see,
And IN her veins flowed b God OF high degree.
And she had lovers score, proud, high and
great,
Until she deemed herself beloved OF all,
And dreamed true hearts awaited but her CALI
One day from out the mystic East there came
An old philosopher of ancient name;
His form was aged and his brow was bare,
And years had bleached to snow his flowing
hair,
"what wilt thou, sirs" the peerless southron
"Fear not, thy boon, it shall not be denied"
$50 thou wouldst serve me, lady fair and trues
Yet, marvel not, Ill render aid to YOU" zz<-s<z7
He took her hand fair as a white doves wing,
And placed thereon a charmed Opal Ring;
Said he, "Fair mistress, to thee snail be shown
The hearts of men through aid of this wise
stone"
"wear it; and when an honest heart shall
The ring win herald him. He is the one;
Accept his love, and yield to him thy life;
And so thou yet shall be blessed wife.
"wear II; and when false tongues their vows
Seek this, and all will thus be shown to YOU
The ancient sire went back to mystery.
Years came and went, and yet no welcome
spark
Flashed out the signal-all was dim and dark;
While Lord and Knight rejected from her door,
Went out to swell the ranks thus gone before.
Years came and went and found her still un-
wed;
The opal ring-beware. Dewarei IL said,
To all who knelt her precious hand to claim,
Until, at last, an humble suitor came.
One poor of words, and void of pomp was he,
And he had nought of chivalrous degree
10 plead his suit; she turned to say him nay,
When from her finger flashed the signal ray.
She babe him rise, and said, "Thou art my
King;
Behold, know thee by this charmed ring.
THANK God at last, for me one heart beats true;
Henceforth my love, my life belongs TO you."

Two reclining female figures represent the
History of Cincinnati and Agriculture, and
two sitting figures, Commerce and Justice.
The aIlegoricai effect of the figures is rather

Gently presented the New Hampshire His
toric Society with an old nlusket with which
is connected quite an interesting history.
In 1907 it was carried by Joseph Bartlett, who
Yves then 81 years old, and was one of the
garrison at Haverhill, Mass, during an ex-
pected attack by the Indians and French.
In l70S the town surrendered to the foe, and
young Bartlett secreted his gun in chm
ney, where it remained for tour years, dur
ing which time he was captive in Canada.
On his release from captivity he returned
and found the piece where he had left it. 1t
was afterward carried during three years OF
the revolutionary war by another member
of the family. Some years ago a party Of
boys get down the ancient piece to celebrate
the GLORIOUS Fourth" and with the intsn-
ton OF making it "speak," loaded it with
some IL inchs of powder and quantity of
damp earth, which proved the last
report it was ever to make, as both
barrel and stock were so shattered
that all that could be done with it
was to bind it together with a cord, in which
plight it now is seen. 1t is now presented in
behalf of Thomas III. Bartlett, the great
grandson of its first owner.

Over brown moors and wither'd leas
The angry winds were sweeping;
over the great grey northern seas,
The crested waves were leap1ng;
And you and stood close together,
In the chilling CLEAN of the wintry weather,
As the bare gaunt branches. overhead,
shook their lingering leaflets. gold and red,
While in every ALTERING word we said,
Rang the pitiful wall for the days that were
dead;
For, by the sad seas, meath the storm-beat trees
Our last tryst we were keeping.
! scarce could hear the words you sobbed,
Amid your passionate weeping,
And the glow from my eager prayer was robbed
BY the chill around US creeping;
From the silent paths, where in summer
Youth, JOY and music had met together,
From The cry of the Sea-mewS fitting past,
O'epthe wild white waves in the bitter blast.
From the breakers that crashd on the hollow
sand,
From the sough Of the breeze DER the dull damp
From sea and shore rose ssSo more, no more,D
As our last tTyst we were keeping.
There was not a pale bud left, in sooth,
Mid the dry leaves round us heaping;
The bitter harvest of reckless youth
Times iron hand was Teaping;
Our lips still said, Forever, forever
As the trembling fingers chung together.
But even then each sad heart knew
What fate and circumstance meant TO do,
And the mighty pillows boOm'd like q knell, +.
As we turned apart from that long farewell;
And 10 wind, and rain, and the moaning main,
Left the last trySt OF our Keeping

He has tail like scimetars edge,
A marshal's plume on his afghan neck,
An admiral's stride on his quarter deck,
He rules the roost and he walks the bay

Two broadsides fires with his rapid wings,
This sultan proud of q line of kings
One gutteral laugh, four blasts of horn,
Five rusty syllabies rouse the morn.
The Saxon lambs in their wcolcn tabs
Are playing school with the a, ., abs;
A. e.: /, o. All the cattle spell
Till they make the blatant vowels tell,
And a half-laugh whinny fills the stalls
When down in the rack the clover falls.
A dove is waltzing round his mate
Two chevrons black on MS wings of slate,
And showing off with wooing note
Tire satin shine of his golden throat
1t is Ovid's "Art of Love" re-told
In binding fine OF blue and goldl

The nobler Helens of humber Troys-
AS they stripped the husks with rustling fold
From eight-rowed corn, as yellow as gold,
BY the candle-light, in pumpkin bowls,
And the CLEANS that showed fantastic holes,
In the quaint old lanterns tattoed tin,
From the hermit glim set up within;
By the rarer light in girlish eyes
Asdark as wells or as blue as skies.

The cedar cakes with the ancient twist,
The cider cup that the girls have kissed,
And see the fiddler through the dusk

Wait face to face till the magic bow
Shall whip the tune from the violin,
And the merry pulse of the feet begin.

SMOKING sPIKITUAL1zED.
BY RALPH ERsKISE.
PART I.


This Indian weed now wither'd quite,
Though green at noon, cut down at night.
Shows thy decay;
All flesh is hay.
Thus think, and smoke TOBACCO.
The pipe, so lily-like and weak,
pOes thus thv mortal state bespeak.
Thou art ev'n such,
Gone with a touch.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco
And when the smoke ascends on high,
,pnen thou behold'st the vanity
or worldly stuff,
Gone with a puff.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
And when the pipe grows foul within.
Pink on thy soul defiled with sin;
For then the nre
IL does require.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
r And seest the ashes cast away;
Then to thyself thou mayest say,
That 10 the dust
Return thou must
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
PART II.
Was this small plant for thee cut down?
30 was the Plant of great renown;
Which mercy sends
For nobler ends
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
Doth juice medicinal proceed
From such a naughty foreign weed?
Then what's the power
OF JeSse's flower!
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
The promise, like the pipe, inlays
And by the mouth OF faith conveys
What virtue flows
From Sharons rose.
Thus think, and smoke tobocco.
In vain tn unlighted pipe you blow;
Your pains in outward means are so,
Till heavily fire
The heart inspire.
Thus think and smoke tobacco.
The smoke, like burning incense, tow'rs;
So should a praying heart ofyours,
With ardent cries,
Surmount the skies.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.

Mr.. Bayard Taylor is to return to the
United States from his two years absence
this fall, coming directly home from the
Millennial Celebration in Iceland. He will
be on the lecture platform again this winter.
Years ago he was one of the most popular
lecturers in the country, and his later expe-
riences, especially through the past year, in
Egypt, Germany. Shetland, the Orkney and
Farce Islands, and in Iceland, are sure to
lend new interest to his reappearance.-New

IMPORTANCE OF HEALTE.-Surely, then.
no one who honors God and the Bible can
fail to honor the human body. Next to the
soul and mind of man there is nothing on
all our earth that approaches it in dignity or
importance. Next to the minister of the
gospel. no man holds so responsible posi-
ton as the physician. And next to the
guilt of him who Injuries a human soul
comes the guilt of him who Expresses or
abuses human body. And why should
not Gods minister lift up his voice in the
defense of the body that Christ has pur-
chased with His own blood, as well as of
the soul which inhabits it, and which, like
man at sea, must sink or swim
with the boat it is in? And why espe-
cially should he not preach on the body to
young men? Of all people they most need
affectionate wsrning and instruction on this
subject. Their bodies are at that age of de-
velopment when they are most susceptible
of lasting injury, end at the same time least
sensitive to injury. They are every day lay
ing the foundation of lifelong health or dis
ease, and yet the special quality of youth is
insensibility TO bodily excess. And at the
same time the amount of animal spirits
common to their time of life impel them
with almost irresistible force to the very
verge of riot.-Rev. Florence Mccarthy.

Lexington, king of the American turf for
20 years, has been eclipsed at last by new
horse, Fellocraft, who ran four miles in
7:l9H over the Saratoga course on the 10Th
inst. In 1854, twill be remembered, in the
great four-mile State race over the Metairie
course at New Orleans, Lecompte was the
winner in 1925, Lexington being one of his
competitors. A few days afterward Lexing-
ton ran against the winners time and beatit
six and three quarter misunderstanding the
four miles in the short time of 7:l97<. This
famous time has stood unequalled from that
day to this; but it now yields to Fellowcraft,

regarded as the fastest track in the United
States-a fact which counts somewhat in ia
vor of the new conquerer.
