These are the exports by one fleet OF
STEAMERS from the leading port Of the
country. We must remember that the
petroleum shipments go out almost wholly
by sailing vessels, and that these sailing
vessels also carry to the second-rate ports
Of Europe IN immense amount OF grain,
york, cotton, and other stuff. We must
remember also that very heavy shipments
arenade by steamers sailing from Bald-
more, Philadelphia and Boston, and also
from Montreal, Quebec and Portland.

interests Of England are depressed and
alarmed. For instance, in yesterdays
Cincinnati Enquirer is u letter from Ire

The western wheat crop prospects.


The western wheat crop Prospects.
The Chicago Times ofsaturday publish
E. specials from the West and Northwest
which give in detail the condition Of the
wheat crop throughout an immense scope
Of country. 1t would seem by these
advices that in the great wheat growing
States Of Minnesota and Wisconsin the
prospects are more favorable than former
reports indicated. The late rains seem to
haye removed all the unfNvOrable effects
of the drought. The late sOwn grain has
taken vigorous growth. An increase
Of about 10 per cent in the acre
age over last year is reported, and
the present estimate Of the yield Is about
aOOO,OOO bushels. In Wisconsin some
shat increased acreage is reported, and
the crop, it is estinloted, will be equal in
quantity and superior in quality to that
Of last year. From Iowa the reports are
generally favorable. The winter wheat
uop is reported in good condition, and a
fine yield is predicted. The late rains
have generally improved the prospect,
though in few localities there is yet
complaint Of drought. The reports from
Michigan indicate that the yield will be
equal to that of last year, and Of good
quality. Some injury from drought is,
however, expected. From Ohio 1t is re-
ported that the drought has materially sf-
tected the crop. 1t is estimated that 1t
will fall quite one.third below the yield OF
last year, which, however, was cxtraordi-
nary large. The reports for Indiana indi-
cate decrease as compared with last year
Of about 10 per cent, though perhaps it
may be less. In quality the crop is good
In Kansas and Missouri harvesting is be.
ginning. From the former State the re.
pOrt tshows considerable falling off as COM
Ean'd with the crop Of last season, which
broEghly is estimated in the neighborhood
Of 70 per cent. Late rains have materially
improved the prospect in Missouri; but
The better estimates seem to be that the
total yield will not be more than three
Iourths crop. IN Illinois some damage
has been experienced from the drought,
butt fair average crop, it is estimated,
will be harvested, snd generally of good
quality.

Inventions Wanted to Utilize Sawdust.

The mill owners of Minneapolis arc
greatly perplexed by the volume OF saw
dust they produce. and not n little
alarmed at a threatened law forbidding
the present disposition of such waste by
dumping it into the river. 1t is cal
culated that the sawdust from the sum-
mer cut OF logs converted into boards at
that place amounts to something like
300, 900 cords-enough to furnish con-
slant work for $50 teams to cart away
The millers say they cannot afford so
heavy a burden of expense, and the
river communities can rs i'll afford to
have the river spoiled by the rapidly
accommodating refuse. Even the steam
mills are unable to burn all their waste,
and the owners of them would no doubt
gladly unite with their water-usin g
neighbors in turning over the surplus
sawdust gratis to whoever would agree
to cart it away. Three hundred thou
sand cords year of good fuel is Ger
tainly worth an effort to save. and this
is the product of but one locality.
Who will invent an economical MODE
of making sawdust marketablep And
who will devise new applications Tor
such materials? Most likely there are
hundreds of easy ways in which such
materials, now burden, could be turned
to profit if our inventors would only
take the trouble to think of them and
work up their practical applications
Such simple devices for utilizing waste
products are often the sources OF large
profits.-Scientifc american.

ga Level Head"

The best time to keep still is when
everybody is noisy, and the best time 10
have level head is when other cranll,,
ums appear. to be topsy-turvy. A still
hunt frequently bags more game than Il
hurly-burly chase.
From everywhere the word comes,
Business increasing, goods scarce,
prices advancing" Just now is the
time to listen rather than to join in the
hue and cry. Panics rarely come when
everybody expects them. The best way
is to be ready when they do come.
Our theory is this: If you are a mer-
chant and would do business safely. dis
pose of your goods at small proflts for
cash while others are holding for an ad-
vance. Turn your capital often, and
ALWAYS accept an offer that yields pro-
fit. Selfishness- greed that gets hold
of some tradesmen and sticks to them
like d chronic diseases almost sure to
work your ruin in the end. The general
business "boom " that we hear OF every
where should put every prudent man
on his guard; tor, after the riot, the
silence which follows brings all OF US to
our senses, when we are surprised and
ashamed of our own folly. Therefore
don't put on airs; 60 slow; keen still; {;
listen and don't talk too much; husband
your resources, and. as Josh Billings

The Inferior Of Australia.

The western half of Australia has been
travcrsed in three parallel lines about
three hundred miles apart, while various
shorter explorations have made known
large portions Of the intermediate cOun-
try. The southern and northern coasts
are also fairly known, and we are forced
to conclude that nearly half of the entire
continent of Australia is uninhablt table
by Europeans. Nowhere else, perhaps,
on the globe do we meet with this strange
phenomenon of dense vegetation COM
bined with an aridity equal to that of
the Sahara. For the traveller the coun-
try is even worse than the Sahara. For
hundreds of miles at stretch the sandy
undulations are coveredwith the dreaded
spinifex or porcupine grass, which rem
ders it impossible to walk without pain
full precautions. Again, for hundreds of
miles is found the dense scrub OF dwarf
eucalyptus, covering the ground like the
rods of an osier bed. ten or twelve feet
high, hindering all view of the country,
and rendering it necessary literally to
hore ones way, like mole, underground.
Then comes acacia shrubs, which add
the annoyance of sharp prickles to those
of the other kinds. Mr.. Giles tells US
that horses dread the trioda or spinifex
like pestiIence. The constant pricking
of this grass causes raw and bleeding
swelling round the feet, and to escape
from it they will prefer to force their
way through the densest scrubs. where
the ground is soft and the spinifex does
not grow. Here they rush along, tear
ing the coverings of their loads, and fire.
or p1- hot
backs and their saddles; then comes a
frantic crushing through the scrub, loads
are forced off, and hors.s are lost sight
of, and it may take hours or days to re-
cover them. Nor do the travellers escape,
for their clothes get torn and ripped to
pieces, and their bodies scratched and
often seriously wounded. Sometimes
stinging ants abound to such an extent
that the wearied explorer can get no
rest. However hot and tired he may be,
he dare not lie down in the shade. but
must remain exposed to the sun, or lie
on the heated soil in order to escape this
torment. In other parts the whole coun-
try is mass of angular stones. over
which the traveller has to pass for days
together, without finding spot of easier
gr5und; while in some districts loose
sand is heaped up in ridges like the long
swell Of the ocean, and appearing almost
as interminable. Often, after passing
days without water, when at length it is
discovered it turns out to be undrink-
able brine, or exists in such small guam
tity as to be insufficient to supply the
wants of both men and horses for single
day. Again, the extreme uncertainty OF
the rainfall renders it impossible to de-
pend upon the accounts of previous ex-
plorers in the same district.

VOud0uism.

DR.. PEBBLES, the lecturer. says that he
recently saw salt strewn on doorsteps
in New Orleans. He asked what it
meant, and the rep.y was: " tits conse-
Grated salt, to ward off the demoniac
charms of the voudous. There are co.
600 of them in New Orleans, and they
work magic, put spells on people. pro-
duce bad luck and even death" He
made some investigation of the subject,
and among the prutessed voudou priests
whom he found was IN old, oddly tat
tooed negro called DR.. John. This
man" ,"he says, left Africa in 1889. He
confessed to having had twenty wives.
Previous to the civil war he was rich,
owning at one time fifty slaves. He said
many prominent men of the South had
faith in his magical powers. When ig.
norant people came he used cards and
rystals; but with the higher classes he
simply employed his 'second-sight' gift,
making at times, it is said, startling re-
velations." DIR. PEBBLES describes how
he visited q voudou camp, where ne
groes danced and chanted around a
Gagged serpent, and boiled the claws of
birds, the scales OF fish, the fangs of
snakes. and other things for charms.
He is spiritualist and believes that
voudouism is a low form of spiritual
manifestation.

S2OO,OOO,0 900 Claimed.

The Robinsons, of Ottawa, and other
heirs of Hannah and Betsy Baker, claim
$500 acres of land on which 3 part of
the city of Philadelphia is built, eleven
square miles of land on the banks Of the
Hudson river, large tract of coal
lands in Pennsylvania. and scattered
properties in New York and elsewhere.
The Canadian heirs value the whole
estate, including the Philadelphia prop
erty, at S20o, 900, 900. According to the
Canadian story, three generations ago
the two married daughters Of Colonel
William Baker settled near Ottawa,
and in 1901 inherited the property of
their father, to whom. his Two brothers
had beuueathed their estates. The de-
Law in claiming the estates was. due to
the ignorance Of tne daughters Of their
fathers death ut the time of its occur
renee and their children's ignorance
that such an estate waited for them.
There are thirty clai mants in Canada
and Northern New York. There are
fifty seven other heirs ut BrOokville,
Ohio. These make ou that Colonel
Jacob Baker died intestate ut the resi-
dence of his brother in Canada, leaving
in possession of relatives his discharge

A Touching Story.

This touching story was told by East
man johnson to our correspondent in
Nantucket:
On narrow island near the New
England coast, where primitive customs
still obtain, where the crier goes about
TIE streets by day and the watchman by
night, where they dispose OF surplus
meats by auction, and the merry maiden
and the tar 20 junketing together in an
ancient calash, lives an old lady. Auntie
B.. The same roof has sheltered
three generations of her family, and it
would require little less than an earth
quake to dislodge her from her seat by
the old fashioned Fireplace. There she

Haven't you single regret in your
whole life?" we asked her once. She
dropped her knitting, and u dreamy
look crept over her placid eyes.
YES" she said at length, 1 have.
Ten years ago. when my dear dead SIS

came to this island by the steamer. Oh
he could play beautifully. He came
near our street, and my sister says to
me, Let us 60 down to the corner and
see him plsy.' Well, do you know, ]
