1t is well known fact that the farm pro-
ducts of this country are not, in any large
proportion, what may be called the tirst-class,
Pnd that they do not command high price
in market Vast quantities Ofiruit are sold an
uually at ruinous prices because the quality
is so poor. Far from being an exception to
this rule the hay crop is a striking example
of the immense and needless loss caused
simply aud only by the carelessness and
neglect OF its producers. Compared with
the amount of hay cut there is but little
which is really OF first quality There is a
great deal that is very good aud a great
deal more that is miserably poor. Probably

Terrible Destilution.

In "Dlack Cat Row." on Cole street, opposite
the western Schuetzen park, family of folr
persons-a mother and grown daughter and two
small children named Sophia and Carrie Heck,
aged and 10 years respectively been
living for some time past in state of depravty
and destitution that it seems almost incredible
could exist in q Christian community. 1he
mother and oldest daughter have been for a
long time the victims OF dissipation of the worst
form, the former being frequently found in a
state of beastly intoxcation. The children were
allowed to grow up utterly uncared for and neg
lected, and their bodies were found fairly alive
with vermin and covered with rags and filth.
They subsisted by begging, and were frequently
discovered in a half-famished condition, devour-
ing the refuse from garbage boxes in the street.
Sergeant Night, upon ascertaning the condition
OF the children, informed Capt. Lepson, and
yesterday they were removed from the ho-
vel, and alter being cleansed by colored wo-
man in the neighborhood were committed by
justice Bell to the home OF the friendess The
mother was also arrested by the officer, and
committed to Jail for sixty days on a charge of
vagrancy.- y.-Bdhtmore Gazette, Isl.

Influence OF the 90 m et ON the German
Vintage.

The news received from Germany, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, seems to promise that the
comet Of 1874 will leave behind in the wins
countries a pleasant memorial of its visit. A
correspondent writing from Ehrenbreitstein
states districts, especially where the highest
class of wines are produced, is likely to compen-
safe for the disastrous years OF 1862 1870, 1871,
1875 and 1873. In the favored spot known as tho
Rheingau no such quantity has been recorded
since the celebrated comet year of 1911. At one
time it was apprehended that the early May
frostH had, as III former years, committed much
damage among the vines, but these fears have
long been dispelled, and there is now, We learn,
the fairest promise that the vintage of 1874
will be an exceptionally grand one both in
quality and quantity. Such delicate lt-
tie attentions to wine drinkers the part
of these erratic heavenly bodies are the
more appreciated because we are not al
ways able to count upon item. Since 1911 not
by any means all of the numerous comets which
have appeared in this country have been
careful to perpetuate their memories by their
handsome presents of wine. The comet Of 1911
AZ above referred to, and Donati's comet of 1858
with the magnificent claret vintage which fol
lowed it, are perhaps the only two which can be
held in grateful remembrance for their effects
upon wine. On the other hand, two famous
years, "a and 'S4, produced their wines without
any cometary assistance, unless the near ap-
proach of comet in one case and its recent de-
parture in the other can be- supposed to have
exercised any influence upon the vineyards A
comet was visible in December, 1928, and in the
year 1885 was the date of the last appearance of
Halley'r comet OF 1862.

The time WAS, when, in general, children were

is to make the school-room so attractive in every

suggested that We, in plans, methods and prac-
