A GERMAN statisticiaA has compiled,
from official sources, an abstract of the
average production of grain in the more
important countries of the world. Ac-
cording to this statement Russia is ahead
of all other nations in its yield of cereals,
leading the United States by 319, 1850, 600
bushels, or nearly one-fourth of the entire
production of this country. Germany
comes next, with less than one-half the
amount produced by US, and is closely
followed 10y France, while Great Britain
Yields less than halt the production OF
her industrious neighbor across the Chan
mel, and Austro- Hungary holds position
nearly midway between the two.

WHO UNDREssED HER-Last winter n
Boston lady sent an order to Worth for
an evening dress, with instructions that
it should be made tres decollette. The
great man cabled back that he wasn't
making dresses that way at present. to
which milady returned: Make it as low
as possible" The gown arrived all in
good time; it was tres decOliette, and it
was worn at large entertainment, where
it at once attracted the attention of n
noted wit, to whom the lady was well
known. After quiet survey of the
premises, the gentleman turned to her
with the alarmed whisper, MY dear,
who undrcssed your Calmly raising
her eyes, she responded, "Mr. Worth un-
dressed me, Mr-."-B0st0n Letter.

Hide-BOund Trees.

The practice of Sitting the outer bark
of fruit trees perpendcularly has its
friends and enemies. We are of the lat
ter. L. deals with the effect instead of
the cause. The cambium layer is that
from which zone of growth in exogen-
Gus plants is annually added both to the
sap-wood and to the inner bark. The
outer bark is finally exfolated or rent in
assures and scaled off by the action of
the weather. Trees that are starved in
crease in growth slowly and the outer
bark becomes so indurated as to resist,
to certain extent, their growth by re-
tarding the upward passage of the crude
sap from the root to the leaves and OF the
elaborated sap from the leaves downward.
But we think It may be questioned whether
it is not well that its growth should be
retarded. Surely if it is true that tree
becomes "hide- bound" because it is
starved, increasing its size is not going
to remedy the evil, since we do but fur
nish more mouths, so TO speak, to be Ted
by the same amount OF food.
We have seen many trees thus treated.
The stems would noticeably increase in
size the next year or so, but there was no
corresponding evidence OF vigor appar.
ent. In most instances it has seemed
to us their vgor was impaired. These
perpendicular Sits, moreover, afford con-
venent Judgments for water or moisture,
and insects seek such crevices for shelter
or for deposting their eggs. 1t seems to
us that the natural remedy for hide bound
trees is 10 enrich the earth as far as the
roots extend, and that then the cambium
layer, increased in quantity and in nutri-
ment, will so form new liber and albur,
NUN that the outer bark must expand
and the stem soon become evenly and suf-
ficeutly cve,oped.-RuraI Netc Yorker,

Some Mexican Deities.

Master NJ. had much to learn about
deities. At the head of these stood one
infinite, supreme ruler, "the unknown
God" and next beneath him came Tex
cotlip0ca, the "son of the world" sup
posed to be the creator of the earth.
Huitzilopotcbli was the god of war, a
sort of Mars, but with much more name
Then there was the god of air, Quetzat-
coat, who controlled vegetation, metals,
and the politics of the country. Here is
something Master M. was taught to be-
lieve of him:
When this god, whom we call Q, was
on earth, vegetation was so wonderfully
prolific that single ear of corn was all
a man could carry. Everything the peo-
pie needed grew spontaneously. Cotton
grew more beautifully tinted than the
dyers of the present time could color it.
Richest perfumes loaded temperate
breezes, and everywhere the gaudiest col
ored birds filled the air with most en-
trancing harmonies. Q had some little
difficulty, however, with the rest of the
gods, and was obliged to leave his little
paradise. When he embarked in his
wizard snake-skin canoe on the shore of
the gulf, he told his friends that his de
scendants would one day return and bless
the land as he had done, and that they
would be like him,-tall, fine looking,
with dark hair, white skins, and flowing
boards. Alas! this belief was in no
small degree the cause of their ruin; for
the invading Spaniards quite nearly
answered this description of Q's descend
ants.
There were thirteen of the principal
deities, as Master NJ. learned, each of
whom required sacrifices more or less
horrible.
Master NJ. learned that there were
many other interior gods, each of which
had festivals, sacrifices, etc, proportioned
to his rank and power; that nearly every
hour of the day was dedicated to some
god or other.
He studied the history of the temples,
and learned why they were four or five
stories high, with the stairs on the out
side; and all about the everlasting fire
which burned on the tops of these tenn
pies, and that there were so many of these
that the whole country for miles around
was always brilliantly illuminated.-St.
Nicholas.

No ~ mpaahy for Stewart.

Some days ago We gave our views Of
the Stewart body sna.ching affair, and
holding out the idea that very little
sympathy is expressed or respect shown
TO either the remains or memory of .
man who in his lifetime boarded up his
millions, and dying left not solitary
endowment for any charitable institu-
ton. The Philadelphia Evening Buiie.
tin, in devoting an editorial TO the same
subject, ~e are pleased to see takes the
same view Of the case, and says that
now that it has become so dangerous 10
die rich, the good example Of the veal
thy men who make themselves their
own almonsrs during life o-ght to be-
come generally popular. Nobody will
ever harry the grave of the good mln
or woman whore life has been spent in
applying wealth to its highest use, the
scattering Of brnefactions among the
poor and destitute and afflicted. There
are many strong arguments in favor Of
right uses Of wealth during the owner's 3
lifetime. The satisfaction of knowing
that the money has gone whore it was
meant to go, and Of seeing it do the
work for which it was designed, is of
itself reassn enough for preferring the
living gilt to the post-mortem bequest.
But now that rich men have got to run
the risk of being stolen out of their
graves, tor the sake of the wealth they
have left behind them, there will be a
good many who will consider whether
it is better to invest their extra wealth
now, in the various safe channels Of
active benevolence around them. In a
new sense, such men will rest easier
in their graves"

No Cause for Alarm.

There is no Iced for scare on the
part of the citizens living in Shipley
Run valley by any exaggerated reports
which may arise through leak occur
ring in the basin every now and then.
The Mill river disaster in Massachu-
sets is yet fresh in the memories of the
people, but in that case the basin was
situated on a stream of water, which
caused continual flow into the basin
and when it broke there was no cessa-
ton until much damage was done and
loss Of life occurred. Our basin is en-
trely different. No sudden break can
possibly occur and any indications Of q
ak are promptly met and checked.
Rven should a leak occur, the water
could not rush out from both compart-
ments in sufficient volume to do much
damage, and if it was found that there
was any danger OF a break the whole
basin co1ld be emptied in six hours
sufficiently to be past all danger. By
opening the escape pipes and the water
plugs through the city all the water in
the basin could be drained off in twelve
hours. The embankments of the basin
are so firm and solid, that no amount of
water pressure could move them, and
the leak which has occurred in the
north compartment is from the bottom
of the basin, the water working its way
along the gravel leads into the drain
pipes and from thence out from under
tue basin and not through the embank-
mrnts. Those having the matter in
hand Seem perfectly to understand
their business and are on the sharp
lookout for leaks and when found they
will be promptly repaired.

That Documentary Evidence.

The Gazette tries very hard to make
the public believe that its editor did
the straight thing in relation to the
pardon of Martin while he (the editor)
was United States Marshal, and hp tells
Mr. Jackson patronizingly that if he
had called at the Office of the Gazette,
1--WE would have shown him authenti
Gated documentary evidence of the par
don." It is no use for us to mul-
tiply words upon this subject, for it 10
perfectly understood by all who wish
to understand it, and the editor of the
Gazette by his own admission has clear
ly lain himself open to fresh suspicion
crookedness in the affair. We would
simply ask, by what right an Ex-Unit"d
States Marshal retains in his possps
sion any part of the records of the
court with which he was connected. or
As he puts it, the authenticated doc
umentary evidence" in any case be
longing to or in the jurisdiction of the
court' Must person who wants to
find something in reference to himself

may have died in the meantime, go to
his heirs or assignees for that same

has such evidence in his possession -

and he knows very well it ought to be
recorded upon the dockets Of the court,
and the document filed away in
the, archives Of the SAME instead Of
having it stuck in some pigeon hole or
drawer Of his private secretary. But
the Ex Marshal would have us be-
lieve that he has the papers, and in
Inmates that Mr.. Jackson should have
known they we're in his possession. This
is jumping at conclusion with ven,
pssnce, as if the Ex Marshal twas a
bigger man" than the United States
court. In conclusion ". would say
that 1t may be possible that tn" Ex-
Marshal has found the Presidents war
rant Of pardon for Mr.. Martin, which
accounts for his change Of front, but II
he has unearthed 1t and brought it
to Liz ht, We would advise him to de-
liver it up to the rightful owner, to Re

where it ought to be recorded, and
afterwards filed away in the archives Of
the court where it ought to BE- filed and
then II anybody wanted to find any
desired information they could get 1t
without being compelled to apply to a
private individual for documentary
evidence" he has no business with.
We still challenge the Rx-Marshsl to
produce that warrant.
