Its symptoms are headache, fever and

describes it as "a contagious fever
characterized by an eruption of car

that cases in which these glandular
swellings appear are attended with a
higher grade of fever, and with pro-
founder depression of the vital forces;
headache, restlessness, chills and YER

Agricultural Statistics.

The following interesting statistics
retaken from q recent report by the
Commissioner Of, Agriculture, on the
condition of the crops and the past and
present yield and prices of grain, etc.,
in this country:
Z The crop of corn in 1877 was the largest
ever raised in this country up to that date,
having been 1,s4scoo,OO0 bushels, valued al

The lowest State averages are in Iowa and
Nebraska. both Of which States increased
their products very largely, too great for
home consumption, and too remote from
leading markets; the price has fallen to
about one-half it was in 1876. The States
Gulf States, from Georgia to Texas, where
the consumption fully equals the crop, aud
where the prices are less than those Of last
year. The price per bushel, returned Deeem-
Der, 1878, was 31.9; in 1877, 35.S cents.
|; The average price of wheat for the year 1876
was e1.04 per bushel; for the year 1877, slim
ulated by war. in Europe, the increased crop
was worth 81 S; but for the year 1873. an in
crease,of upwardS;of 81. OO0, 900 bushels, the
price had fallen to Is cents per bushel on Dec.
The The crop Of 1873, which amounts to 49,
000, 600 bushels, is worth only 1929 OOO, 900;
while the crop Of 1877, which was 365, 900 600
bushels, was worth $394, 1000.
IN the case Hf wheat. the pfie is greatly
ipf1shkeds BY The European demands fm the
year ending Jtlne 80, 1873, it was found that
we exported 81, O00, 000 bushels Of wheat flour

crop. Tiss% i:...
Trade ard the Mart Lane Erpresc, Of England,
i; r. estimated thfs 81 The h. supply Of England
107, 600, 600 bushels; leaving that amount to
import. Last year the amount imported was
5000, 600 quarters, or $4,000, 600 bushels.
This supply was mainly drawn from the
United States and will be SO this year. From
estimates in France, published in the Bulletin
des Haues, the wheat crop of 1878 is placed at
81, 500 600 hectoliters, or 29O, 900 900 bushels,
being 100000 hectoliters, or 56.OO0,OoO
bushels, less than that of 1877, which was a
poor crop.
The amount imported into France in 1877
Is was $4,000, 600; the amount needed this
tEat must approximate 10000, 900 bushels:
The Same Bulletin; estimating the sources of
supply abroad; says! "The utmost surplus
from Russia for export will be SC, O00, 1000
bushels; from Hungary, II, 900; and the
only othet sS sts. Of supply Of any Importance
The following statement Of prices in some
of the prominent wheat-gyowing States since
1874 will fairly illustrate the range of prices

How to Preserve Failing Eye.Sight.

THE Magazine of Pharmacy gives the
following rules for the treatment of the
eyes for those who find their sight be-
ginning to fail:
"Sit in such position as will allow
the light to fall obliquely over the
shoulder upon the page or sewing. Do
not use the eyes for such purposes by
any artificial light. Avoid the special
use of the eyes in the morning before
breakfast. Rest them for half minute
or so while reading or sewing, or look
ing at small objects, and by looking at
things at distance, or up to the sky;
relief is Immediately felt by so doing.
Never nick arv onllnctod ,,,o+tn- s,.:;;-
It with the saliva and rub 1t away with
the ball of the finger. Frequently pass
the ball of the finger over the closed
eyelids toward the nose; this. carries OH
any excess of water into the nose itself
bv means of the little canal which leads
into the nostril from each inner corner
of the eve, this canal having tendency
to close up in consequence of the slight
Inflammation which attends weakness
of eyes. Keep the feet always dry and
warm, so as to draw any excess OF blood
from the other end of the body. Use
eve. glasses at first carried in the vest
pocket, attached to guard, for they
are instantly adjusted to the eye with
very little trouble, whereas, if common
spectacles are used. such a process is
required to get them ready that 70
save trouble the eyes are often strained
to answer a purpose. Wash the eyes
abundantly every morning. II colo
water is used, let it be tapped against
the closed eyes with the fingers, moi
striking hard against the balls OF tn.
eyes. The moment the eyes feel tired
the very moment you are conscious o
an effort to read or sew, lay aside tn
book or needle, and take walk for al
hour, or employ yourself in some activ
exercise not requiring the close use Q
the eyes,"
