season will be from % 10 30 per cent.
greater than in 1856. With largely
increased acreage, there will, from present
appearances, be surplus of at least s.
100000 bushels over and above require
ments Of home consumption. California,
whence Of late years steady stream Of
grain has poured out, spreading not only
among the islands Of the Pacific and the
continents watered by its waves, but ex-
tending to the Atlantic and Mediterra-
mean, viii probably produce this year 12,-
900, 900 bushels Of wheat less than last
year.
With greater acreage than ever before,
the corn crop Of the United States prom
ises to be unprecedented. Throughout the
Northwest the corn crop as a whole re.
quires rain, yet it is not suffering.
The agricultural situation at this present
writing may be summed up in few words.
In no State east of the Rocky Mountains
is there failure of any erop-on the con-
trary, everything points to a surplus of
wheat, corn, oats, rye, and barley. Il is
not believed that the farmers Of the North
west will market their grain at present
prices. The total exports of wheat and
corn (including flour and Indian meal)
from the United States for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1877, were as follows
Wheat, 4O,325,611 bushels; -four, 3,343,-
665 barrels; total reduced to bushels Of
wheat, 81 ,043, 1886; corn, &c, 500, 983; corn
meal, 447,967 barrels; total reduced to
bushels of corn, 1852, 611-makiug
grand total of l29, 696, SAT bushels, against
125, 1859, 60l for the previous year.

The Timidity of Birds.

The fear of man, shown by almost all
the smaller animals, is in many cases newly
acquired; for in regions uninhabited by
man it is not shown, and it is only as the
animals of such regions learn, by genera
tons of persecution, that man is highly
and peculiarly dangerous, that they come
to avoid him; yet this fear is truly instinc-
tive, for it is shown by the young as well
as by the adult. The testimony of travel
lers as to the tameness Of animals in re-
gions where they have never been perse-
cuted, is well known. For instance, Oar
win in his journal" Of the voyage of the
Beagle, says; "This disposition is com
mon to all the terrestrial species of the
Galapagos Islands, namely, to the mocking.
thrush, the inchcs, wrens, tyrant hy-catch-
ers, the dove, and the carrion-buzzard
All of them often approached sufficiently
near to be killed with a switch, and
sometimes, as l myself tried, with a cap or
hat. A gun here is almost superfuous,
for with the muzzle pushed a hawk off
the branch of tree. One day, while
lying down, mocking-thrush alighted on
the edge of pitcher made of the shell of
tortoise, which / held in my hand, and
began very quietly to sip the water; it al
lowed me to lift it from the ground, while
seated on the vessel l often tried and
very nearly succeeded in catching these
birds by their legs. Formerly these birds
appear to have been even tanner than at
present, Popular Science Monthly for
September.

Sound Sleep.

1t is wonderful how much may be done
to protract existence by the habitual res
torative Of sound sleep. Late hours under
strain are of course, incompatible with this
solacement On this topic DR.. Richard
son says it has been painful for him to
trace the beginnings Of pulmonary CON
sumption to late hours at "unearthly balls
and evening parties" by which rest is
broken and encroachments made on the
constitution. But, he adds, eff In middle
age the habit of taking deficient and ir-
regular sleep be maintained, every source
of depression, every latent form Of dis
ease, is quickened and intensified. The
sleepless exhaustion allies itself with
all other processes Of exhaustion, or il
kills imperceptibly, by rapid intro
duction Of premature old age, which
leads directly to premature dissolution.
There, at once, is an explanation VIII,
many people die earlier .b1n they ought /,
do. They violate the primary principle o
taking regular nights rest. If the,
sleep it is disturbed. They dream al
sorts Of nonsense. That is to say, they d
not sleep soundly, or for any useful pur
pose; for dreaming is nothing more tina
wild, imaginative notions passing through
the brain while half sleeping or dosing
Ia dreaming there is no proper or restors
tive rest.

A Cats Curiosity About Bees.

Charles Kaiser, who has the only hive
Of Bees in town says, that when he first
got his swarm, his old cats curiosity was
much excited in regard to the doings Of
the little insects, the like Of which she had
never before seen. At first she watched
their comings and goings at distance.
She then fatened herself upon the ground
and crept along toward the hive, with tail
horizontal and quiyering. 1t was clearly
evident that she thought the bees were
some new kind Of game. Finally she
took up position at the entrance to
the hive, aud when a bee came in or
started out, made dab at it with her
paws. This went on for time without
attracting the special attention of the in
habitants of the hive. Presently, howev-
er, "Old Tabby" struck and crushed bee
on the edge Of the opening leading to the
hive. The smell of the crushed bee,
alarmed and enraged the whole swarm.
Bees by the scores poured forth and
darted into the fur Of the astonished cat
Tabby rolled herself in the grass, splitting,
sputtering, biting, clawing, squalling, as cat
never squalled before. She appeared
mere ball Of fur and bees as she rolled and
tumbled about. She was at length hauled
away from the hive with garden rake,
at the cost of several severe stings to her
rescuer. Even after she had been taken
to distant part of the grounds, the bees
stuck in TabIY's fur, and about once in
two minutes she would utter an unearthly
''yowl' and bounce a full yard in the air.
On coming down she would try to
scratch an ear, when sting on the back
would cause her to turn succession of
back somersets and give vent to running
fire Of squalls, Like the parrot that was
left alone with the monkey, old Tabby had
a dreadful time.
Two or three days after this adventure,
Tabby was caught by her owner, who took
her by the neck and threw her down near
the beehive No sooner did she strike
the ground than she gave fearful squat,
and at a single bound reached the top
of fence full six feet in height. There
she chung for moment with tail as big as a
rolling-pin, when with another bound and
squall she was out of sight and did not
again put in an appearance for over week.

SEPTEMBER.
BY oEoRsEAsSA GREGORY


Sweet is the voice that calls
From babbling waterfalls
In meadows where the downy seeds are flying
And soft the breezes blow
And eddying come and 20
In '.ded gardens where the rose is dying.
Among the stubbled corn
The blithe quail pipes at morn,
Tho merry pheasant drums In hidden places
And glittering insects CLEAN
Above the reedy stream
Where busy spiders spin their nlmy laccs
At eve cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall.
And on the clustered grapes in purple turning,
And peariy vapors lie
Along the Eastern sky
Where the broad harvestmoon is redly burning.
All, soon on field and hill
The winds shall whistle chill,
Aud patriarch swallows call their nocls together
To fly from frost and snow,
And seek for lands where blow
The fairer blossoms Of a balmier weather.
The pollen-dusted bees
Search for the honey lees
That llnger In the last flowers OF September.
While plainhyo mourning doves
Coo sadly to their loves
Ofthe dead summer they so well remember
The cricket chirps oil day,
20, falrest summer stay r.
The squirrel eyes askance the chestnut browning;
The wild.fowl fly afar
Above the foamY bar
And hasten southwark ere the skies are frownlng
Now comes fragrant breeze
Through the dark cedar trees
And round about my temples fondly fingers,
In gentle playfulness
Like to the son cares
Bestowed In happier days by loving fingers
Yet though sense Of grief
Comes with the falling leaf.
And memory makes the summer doubly pleasant
In all my autumn dreams
future summer CLEANS
Passing the fairest glories of the present

addition to knowing the depth at which
any earthquake shock may have original
ed, che angle at which the wave energies
from the focus, and the rate of its move
ment are also calculable. Earthquake
shocks are always Of such a nature as
would result from blow or conclusion.
In various parts Of the world we have
areas where slow upward and downward
movements of the earths crust are taking
place without any violent shocks accom-
panying them. In 1855, along the coast
Of New Zealand, tract of country was
uplifted as much as nine feet. Singularly
enough, this elevation was bounded on one
side by crack, on the other side of which
there was comparative rest. Here, there
fore, We have the first trustworthy account
Of one Of those singular movements, SO
common in the older rocks called "laults,
where the rcck masses on one side of
crack or assure have been uplifted. The
northern COASTS of the Baltic are being
elevated at the slow and gradual rate Of
about three feet in a century. The coasts
Of South America, on the western side of
the Andes, are in very unsettled condi-
ton. In 1922, over large area of coun-
try, there was an elevation Of from four
to nine feet; and again 10 1887, the same
area was uplifted eight feet These sue
cessivc elevations added a strip of dry land
equal to half the entire area of France.
How long the elevation Of the Baltic coasts
has been going on, ever since the close of
the last geological epoch known as the
"glacial," is best shown by the fact that
Baltic shells are found one hundred feet
above the present level of the sea. 1t is
by such slow elevatory movements as these
that all the dry land has been elevated
from the floors Of the seas and oceans
where, as the fossils in the rocks plainly
testify, it was originally laid down Earth
quake shocks and movements, therefore,
have played an important part in the his
tory Of the globe, in thus elevating areas
to higher level, and so compensating for
the wear-and-tear to which the dry land is
continually subjected by atmOspherical
agencies.

In Delaware and Eastern Maryland
there are upward of 10000 acres Of land
under peach trees. This land is the best
on the peninsula, estimated to be worth
$50 per acre, or $4,000, 900. Toship this
fruit requires 100000 of baskets, or
nearly that many, which cost s250,000.
The money invested in necessary imple-

peaches to market is estimated at $40 for
every 100 trees, or 100000 The cult
walton of peach orchards and the picking
Of the fruit give employment to upward Of
