Information from Washington relative
to this seasons tobacco crop is to the
effect that in twelve of the largest tobacco
growing states there is considerable
falling off as compared with last year.
The tobacco yield OF Connecticut Valley
is the only one that shows an increase.
The falling off is not attributed to any
future in tue crops, but to the fact that
a small area was planted. Owing to the
agitation of the question OF the reduction
of the tax on tobacco, during the last
session of congress, tobacco was slowed
away and not sent to the manufacturers,
and consequently the greater part OF last
yeare' crop is still on hand.

Real Irow., asreaa,

A writer in Mature discusses the COM
paratlve nutritive qualities of white bread,
brown bread, and whole-meal bread. He
says: We shall find it impossible to make,
OF leaven or yeast, a light spongy loaf
from whole wheat finely ground, the So
called ccrealin of the bran inducing
chemical changes which result in moist,
clammy, dense product. Even whole
wheat cruahed into meal, and not ground.
partakes of the same defect. Fine flour.
on the other hand, yielos bread which
is light enough before mastication, but
which when masticated possesses
marked tendancy to become compacted
into dense Jumps which may never be
penetrated by the gastric and intestinal
juices, and which are frequent cause of
constipation. Whole-meal bread cannot
be charged with this defect; indeed it
acts incidentally as a laxitive, and by
reason of its mechanical texture is hur-
ried rather too quickly along the diges-
tive track, so that the full virtue of such
OF its nutrients as are really soluble be-
comes in part lost.
Yet there is no doubt that for many
persons, especially those who have passed
middle age and are engaged in sedentary
occupations, whole wheaton meal in the
form of bread, biscuits. scenes, ETC., forms
an Invaluable diet. If we could reckon
all the heterogeneous matter in whole meal
bread, we should possess in the former a
fa7 more perfectly adjusted food; for the
ratio of 1esh-formers to heat givers is
about one to seven and a half in white
bread, while it approaches one to four in
some samples. at least, of whole meal
bread. Add to this the higher proper
ton of phosphates in the latter, and its
chemical superiority over white bread be-
comes still more marked; it flavor, too,
is far richer. Ordinarily brown bread is
poor preparation at the best. By add
ing dish OF rather rough bran to flour
VIC do not obtain a satisfactory or rich
product; analysis demonstrates this fact
clearly.

Farmer Miles bought grand piano at
auction cheap tor his daughter Priscilla
The town, aghast, wondered where they
were going to put 80 large an instrument
in 80 small house. Farmer N. cut
away the lower part of the partition be-
tween the parlor and pantry, ran through
the long end of the piano into the pantry,
and Priscilla now sits at the keyboard
and plaintively sings ''Who will care for

out doughnuts on the other end in the
pantry.

A Pleasant Surprise.

On Monday evening the friends Of Eli
DeFrehn, ST.. of this place, met lat the re-
quest of Jacob DeFrehn and sister at the
house of j. Z. Dreibelbies, from which place
they went in body to the house of the old
gentleman. He had been induced to visit q
sick neghbor during the evening, but could
not be prevailed upon to stay until the ap-
pointed hour, which came near upsetting
the "surprise" part of the programme.
Fortunately, at this juncture there arrived
at the house Rev. j. C. Bliem and ladv,
who, playing their part well, soon set him
to thinking that the rooms were lighted up
for their reception. At the appointed mo-
ment the whole party marched into the
room laden with baskets, bundles, &c. To de-
scribe the surprise of the old gentleman is
impossible. Upon being congratulated that,
at the age of G5 he still looked SO hale and
hearty and bid fair of living many more
years, for the first time since we know him
his tongue refused to perform its office, so
great was his surprise. After treat to good
things, pleasant conversation, prayer and
singing, the party dispersed with the assur-
Gnce that a pleasant hour had been spent,
and that the surprise had been q success ali
through. Among those present we noticed
the following: Rev. j. c. Bliem and wife,
Tilghman Arner and wife, Alfred Sitter and
wife, Miss Sitter, Daniel Olewine and wife,
Sue Olewine, F. p. Lentz and wife, Lizzie
L. ,Lentz, Eli DeFrehn, jr., and wife, Mrs.
