Canadian Crop Reports.

crop reports from all over Ontario and a por-
ton OF Quebec. The principal feature noted
is the extraordinary and unprecedented
rapidity Of growth at this early date The
recent heavy rams have done a good deal Of
damage, and in some places the frost of the
last few days blighted previously fair pros
poets. Fruit trees and gardens have suffered
more than gram crops, and possibly the latter
may yet recover to a greater extent than
might at first sight be supposed. The hay
crop will undoubtedly be heavy, and Is al
ready past all danger from drouth. In some
localities there is danger of grain becoming
SO rank that injury will result from that
source.

coxy, little old-time cabin, situated on
the plateau west of the Matamoras fur
mace, was the subject of q disagreeable
experience last night, and one that for
time almost frightened him out of his
wits. Like good, sober, steady citizen
he had retired early, and soon sank of to
presumably pleasant dreamA At very
late hour An evil-minded donkey, BE-
longing TO celestial resident, wandered
to the neighborhood, browsing around In
search of food, and WAS attracted to the
dirt roof Of the dug out--which, BY the
way, Joined the hillside by the sight Of
. dainty morsel In the shape Of 4 cast

chewed contentedly at the leather, his
presence mot Disturbing Mr.. Thompson,
who Numbered contentedly underneath.
Unfortuna' ely, tho roof timbes were
old and rotten, the added strain was too
much for them, and the donkey broke
through, bringing with him . mas Of
dirt and debris, and falling plump upon
Thompson. His coneteSnatlOn can b.

honors followed success II bu1ineaa, and
he was called to serve his city III various
positions of trust and honor. Against
his personal desires, his fellow citisens
asked him to become their Aoninee for

day Of election approached. The slec-
tion was to occur Monday. On Satur-
day the treasurer sunmoned hls assistant
to Z conference, and suddenly told him
he could be Mayor of Summerville or
clerk of the Betting company, but that
he must choose between the two.
Though taken BY surprise, he instantly
replied, "I accept the alternative, I 10
sign my position here. ! am glad that
though I have beea with you twenty
one years, can accept an honorable
alternative" He received an almost
unanimous election, but two votes being |
cast against him. A few days later he |
called upon his late employer and asked |
him, What shall say a. my reason |
for leaving position where have been
all my business lifer' The exemplary
business man replied, "Oh, ny you have
been unanimously elected TO be mayor |
of your city, and that your duties In that |
position will take all your time" "No,"
replied the mayor, q that is untrue.
shall always tell my friends the facts in |

Women Jugglers.

C0Tr. n. l., Worl0.
We stopped at Delhi day on our way
south, and saw some women jugglers.
They were principally acrobats and con-
tortionists, doing such tricks as we zee
at the circus in America. There were
some tricks, however, that had never
seen before. A woman bending back
and picking up two needles, one in
either eyelid, we do not see every day
nor a woman bending her legs over her
head, and her eyes blindfolded, thread
ing q needle with her toes. They did
these things gracefully, too: every move
ment was perfectly free, nor were they
spangled and in tights, but wore the
long cloth of the native woman, wound
rather more tightly than usual, with the
pretty bodice, extending from the lower
part of the bust. The arms, neck ard
stomach were partially hidden by fold
of some light stuff, used, like the plaid
of highland girl, either for head GOV.
ering or shawl. Around their ankles
they wore heavy silver bangles, with
armlets and bracelets of gold and silver,
and on the toes silver rings, with, on the
fingers, smaller ones of gold, and jewels,
Large rings in the nose in some cases
depended as far as the chin-Hind0oe
are not given to kissing-with frontleta
of gold or silver, and necklaces. We
saw a tall girl put her head ON q pad OF
cloth; swords were produced, and abe
was bent back 30 that she rested ON hel
heels and the top of her head. The at.
tendants deposited the swords, edges
inward, 30 that her neck was completely
encircled; then she whirled round and
round on her head as . pivot, jumping
when she reached the extension of the
swords, and marvelously keeping hel
neck from the threatening edges.
From Delhi we went to Benares, the
sacred city of the Hindoo& On arriving
at the station we found it was . three
mile drive from there to the hotel. We
crossed on our way the Ganges, . broad,
muddy river, with low, sandy plains on
one side. and on the other the long line
of palaces and temples coming close II
the waters edge and giving upon the
river by broad fights of steps. As w
were driven over the bridge of boats q
fight of birds, lowering about paft oi
the river, near the middle and q hundred
yards from the bridge, ever and again
making plunge into the water, attract
ed our attention, and ~ We came nearer
We saw the occasional CLINT of the fin ol
a fish. Approaching still nearer, one
could clearly see that this was the body
Of . man, that of m outcast; 0therwiss
the ashes only would have found theil
way to the river. Comfortably settled
in the hotel, We were offered }ish from
the Ganges for dinnerl
