From an article Ill the London Miller, OF
March IS, giving a view of the European
breadstuiIs situation and outlook, we take the
following:
Considering the capital time for threshing
out grain, the present months deliveries at
market by our farmers have been disappoint-
ing to those who looked for an everage sup
ply. The true explanation of such shortcom-
ing IS probably that most farmers have not
got the wheat to thresh, and that those who
still hold stocks are confident they will com
mand the present price-level later on, when
in May, spring seed work will be over, and
the agriculturist finds convenient opportll-
nifty to clear out his rickyards and barns.
Such country millers as we have consulted
fully agree in the above view
The outlook abroad somewhat supports the
upward tendency OF prices. The Continent is
buying freely of the new Russian supplies,
and the local markets of France, Germany
and Holland are firm or dearer for most arti-
cles as well as wheat The change is small
but general, nor does there appear any ex-
pectation of value sinking In the immediate
future. The surplus announced as grown in
Hungary at the August congress has dwin-
died down to acknowledged insignificance.
At Odessa, Nicolaieff, and other Black Sea
ports, the shipments appear to have ex-
hausted available stocks, and although others
are coming freely forward. their prices mean
while are increasing. Estimating costs of
purchase, land carriage and sea carriage, ex-
listing terms appear only barely sufficient to
attract capital. OF the South Russian crop
only about a third is reported TO be drawn
upon.

Friday afternoon a man and a boy
while berrying in Mason's woods, at
Deering Maine, saw coat sticking out
out Of ground and pulling on it found
1t contained a body. Digging away
about a foot Of dirt the body of a
man was exposed to view, having been
dead apparently As hours, An exam
ination of the body showed that the
skull was crushed in evidently by a
blow from heavy inatrument. The
neck was broken evidently when bur-
led. The pockets in the pants were
cut and the body wrapped in bed
quilt. The track of wagon led away
from the spot, showing that the body
was conveyed there from some other
place. The body has not been recog.
nized.

Selfrted Story.
BAFFLED.
BY CARL BRICKETT.

1t was summer time-the bright
season when the flowers wake up and
nod their arch faces right in the face
Of the sun; when the birds begin to
rejoice, and the fragrant, balmy winds
blow back and forth over the earth ;
and when happy little children all
over the land laugh aloud in the sun
shine.
But in striking contrast to the
glowing beauty all around was the
pinched form Of a poor little, bare
footed girl who was walking up the
garden path.
The farm house door WAS open.--
The child gazed in with hungry eyes,
but when Mrs. Halstead looked up
and saw her she turned to so.
Come back, my dear; you look as
if you were hungry
AS it fascinated, the child drew
near to the kind, motherly speaker
Oh, INA am, please say it again T.
Say what ? Do you mean my
dear?
yes, yes that's what the pretty
lady called her little girl when she
came to our house. She said it ever
so often, and oh it sounded SO nice.
Poor child, said Mrs. Halstead,
pitying, did no one ever call you 50
before? Where do you live
I don't live anywhere now; | ran
away from the poor house, and-oh !
here she almost cried as she cast a
longing look toward the bouutful Ia
ble--I'm SO hungry /
The eagerness with which the al
most starved child deyoureo the food
set before her, brought tears to good
Mrs. Halsteads eyes, and quick
thought sprang suddenly into her
mind.
When the little ones had finished
eating,sh drew her TO her, and push
ing the tangled hair back from the
broad forehead, the kind woman said;
What is your name ?
Margaret.
Margaret you are alone and nn-
happy; | have no children would
you like to live with me?
with you' the hazel eyes grew
lustrous with Il glad light. oh, may
Il?
Yes, if you wish. | had little
girl once, but she was taken away,
and the father has always wanted Inc
to adopt one in her p ace. So, if you
Will be a goou cnlld,you snail stay.
Little Margaret nestled close to
Mrs. Halstead and looked up, her
beautiful eyes full of the gratitude
she could not express. When Mar
garet was dressed in the garments her
little girl had worn, Mrs. Halstead
led her to her husband, who was ap-
preaching the house. All was quick
ly explained and the old farmer said
heartily:
Perhaps the Lord has sent her,
wife to make up for little Bessie
And thus it came to pass that the
little waif that came to the farm house

About ten days ago a well.dressed
white woman, who did not give her
name, called at the house of Anne
Bell, colored, 24 North Dallis street,
Ba' timore, bearing in her arms an
infant apparently but few weeks
old, which she said she wished to
leave with the colored woman for
some time, promising to pay IS per
week for its support. The woman,
without asking any questions, took
the child, which was in very bad
health apparently and cared for it
until Thursday night, when it died
the woman who left it not having
been seen in the meantime. Coroner
Ireland investigated the case and
found that death resulted from natu-
raj causes.

Thursday morning shocking and
fatal accident occurred at Riverside

Railroad, resulting In tho death Of
William Graham, brakeman in the
employ of the railroad company
Graham was in the act of uncoupling
engine No. 67 from a train Of l9 coal
hoppers while the train was in mo.
tion. when he lost his footing and fell
between the platforms. The entire
train passed over the unfortunate
man, grinding his body into an unrec-
ognizable mass and strewing it along
the track for hundred yards. The
horror-stricken workmen who wit
messed bis death gathered up his re-
mains and removed them to III. dead

close to him, and in tender, arden
tones, exclaimed:
Margaret, what is a name? Ii
giving me your sweet self, you make
me king among menT
They were betrotEed, and Margare
wrote Of her happiness to her parents
but she still kept her position, unit
one bright summer day, she spoke the
last 'good-by' to her fellow-t teachers
and the evening saw her once more
with her dear parents in the old tarr
house.
Then she told them for the first
time OF Hugh Egerton's offer, and the
penalty he had fixed for uot comply.
ing with it.
The cowardly rascal +! exclaimed
Mr.. Halstead. Now l see why he
was SO willing to lend me that mon.
ey. But, Margaret, I hate to take
your earnings in this way His
mouth was playtully stopped by a
soft hand. whilo Margaret said:
You took nee, a poor neglected
little child, into your home, and
now you begrudge me the happiness
Of partly paying the debt I owe to
you.
The next Wednesday was the day
that at one time had been so dreaded
and after helping her mother with the
morning duties, Margaret ran out in
TO the garden to gather a few Of its
floral treasures. She was singing
merrily to herself, when she felt a
touch upon her arm. Looking up
she met Hugh Egerton face to face.
Good morning, Miss Margaret
Ycu seem very happy, if your merry
song is a true sign
I am, thank you. Did you enjoy
your trip, Mr.. Egerton?'
Yes, out the time passed too slow
ly. I longed to return. Do you
know, Miss Margaret, he continued
eagerly, that to-day IS the day l was
to have a final answer? He waited
little and as she did not speak, went
on: The Hall is in splendid order
now, and only needs mistress, and l
know you must have repented your
hasty words.
Drawing herself up haughtily, Mar
garet met his bold eyes.
Mr.. Egerton, l repeat what I once
ssid--I will never be your wife /
With fierce look he turned and
entered the house. There, awaiting
his approach, was Mr.. Halstead.
I have called, said Egerton, in a
tone Of suppressed anger, for the pay
ment Of that mortgage.
BE seated, sir, please the old far
mer said, in a tone of grave polite
ness Here is the amount. If you
will count it, think you will find it
correct.
Hugh Egerton walked homeward
that morning a sadder and perhaps. a
wiser mans
