Tie Grain Crops of the World,

The annual volume on the crops of the
various cOrn-growing countries of the
world has just been issued by Mons. Bruy
Estienne, OF Marseilles, aud the reports It
| contains occupy several hundred large
quarto pages. A map showing in various
colors the state OF the wheat crop in the
| different departments Of France, is also
given OF the whole cereal crops of France,
! the reports are good. The wheat crop is
IN five departments very good, in seven
| teen departments good, III twcnty-aix de-
partments fairly good (0SScz Go,nc), in
| sixteen dcpa. tmcnts medium, and in six
departments only bad. Outs are very good
in twenty-eight departments, good in forty
| departments, medium In six departments,
! batl in two departments and very bad in
one department.. The maize crop, grown
chiefly in the southern departments, is fair
| ly good. In three departments it is very
good, in nineteen good, in five fairly good
| in five medium, and in one only bad. Rye
ID reported as very good in eleven depart-
mcnts, good in tifty-three departments.
fairly good in six departments, and mcdi
um in three departments. Barley is tho
best crop of the year ii: Franco. In twen-
ty-slx departments it is very good, in forty
| good, in five fairly good, and iu three me-
| dium. In no department is either the rye
or barley crop declared TO be bad. So far
as other countries are concerned, with the
exception only of Russia, the reports are
| generally favorable. In upper Italy, tile
crops are reported as yielding 30 per cent.
above the average. Rumelea and Upper
and Lower Bavaria stand next on tho list,
with produce of 25 per cent. above the
average and these are followed by Podoliu
and Swabia, with al average production
OF 20 per cent. In the south of Italy and
Bavaria and in Wurtemburg the estimates
are of crops Is per cent. over an average :;
while in Bessarabia they arc 10 per cent
over. The crops Of the year arc per cent.
over an average in Hungary, Poland, Bel.
GUM, and the United States of America.
Average crops, without either surplus or
deficit, have been grown in Prussia, the
Palatinate, Baden, Switzerland, Denmark,
Sweden, Norway, Central Italy, Holland,
the north of Russia, Serbia, and Egypt.
Deficiencies OF 15 per cent. are reported in
Great Britain, Ireland and Saxony. In
Courland the deficiency is pat down at 20
per cent. under average. In Central Rus
sia the crops arc so bad that the deficit is
estimated at 40 per cent. below the aver.
age. The commercial summary which &c.
companies the report shows that Europe
| will largely depend for much of her bread
ssutfs from America, and that there is cv.
cry prospect of fairly good and remuncra
tive prices being obtained for cereals this
year.

Some Inhabitants OF Africa,

Boys and girls who visited mcnagcries
have probably seen an animal shaped some
thing like horse, but beautifully adorned
with black and tawny Stripes, standing
silent and sulky in its cage. This is the
zebra, the wild horse of the great plains of
Southern Africa. There it lives IN great
herds and browses on the thin grass and
low shrubs of the wilderness. 1t cnloys
tic widest Liberty, and galIops and gam
bos merriy with It's companions through
| regions where the foot of man rarely penc-
tratcs. 1t is not strange that when Cap
turcd 1t refuses to be tanned, and retains
Its Wild nature to the end. There are,
however, exceptions to this rule. There
arc at present, a pair Of zcbras in the
Garden of Plants, at Paris, which, by the
constant care and kindness of their young
keeper, have gradually come to show u
great affection for him, and will even
allow him to harness them to little car
riago and drive them about the streets of
PARIS. The zebia's chief weapons of de-
fence are Its lively little heels, which it
uses vigorously when attacked. 1t Is a
very wild and cunning beast, and as it's
sharp ears detect the slightest rustlng
among the bushes, IL Is very difficult to ap
proach. The hyenas leave the zebra in
peace, and even lions and lcopards rarely
engaged IN battle with it, They arc tlnitc
content to pounce upon the sickly Nom.

their companions, and are alone and de-
fenccless; for II any enemy attacks herd,

Advice About Funerals,

natl, let as little time and money as posi-
bic be expended for snowy Surroundings
The less OF these things the better. Have
only enough show for proper respect, FOR
public decorum and social respect We
are getting to mingle prosperity and ad-
versity together and aro getting unable to
distinguish the moral difference. We are
now hardly able to distinguish between a
funeral and wedding. At funerals tho
tendency is toward cxtrs vagancc and pride,
amt, In consequence, toward vice and the
meanest folly. Funerals are degrading in
to the most selfish, expensive, meaningless
services. AS the vulgar expression Is,
they are simply ceremonies TO give the
dead "good send-om" The coffin is COW
cred with tlnsel aud tlncry totally out OF
place, considering the surroundings of the
deceased when alive. A man will spend
500 for carriage hire at the funeral OF his
wife, when he never spent dollar for rid
ing her when alive. At great sacrifice
husband will buy a profuson of costly
flowers for the decoration of his wife's cof-
tin and grave, when he never bought Dot
plant for the Frightening of her chamber
during years of sickness and suffering. If
possible the funeral should be- on Il day
other than the Sabbath. so as not to inter
fere with the PASTORS regular duties at
stated service. A vigorous protest against
the too frequent and very often disgusting
habit of public leave-taking of the body
was made. The preacher held that the
leave-taking of our beloved dead should
always be in private and not before a
crowd of idle, curious and unsympathizing
spectators. The practice of kissing the
dead just before the cotlin-lid was screwed
down, was neither decorous nor proper,
particularly in the presence of strangers.
SO metimcs there was more kissing after
death than before. The glass cover should
not be removed for the qualification OF
anybody. Nay, more; the reverend gen
leman suggested that the face of the de-
ceased should never be exposed to stran-
gers. All the funeral ceremonies should
be simple, but strikingly symbolical. A
simple piece of Grape on the door, or worn
OIL the arm of the person was sufficient
to denote the death of member in the
family.

Clever Shepherd Dog.

The great sagacity and intelligence Of the
shcep-dogs must have been noticed by
many. have seen one Of them run over
tho backs of tho sheep in crowded street
to get at tho further end Of them In order
to turn them, and this on the slightest sig
nal from his master. The instinct Of a
wcll-trained sheep dog is marvellous. In
the time OF shcep.shearlng the dog will
fetch any sheep that Is needed from the
flock, and bring it to the feet of tho shep.
herds. 1t will do more---it will skillfully
throw the sheep on its back without injur-
ing 1t, and then look up at tho shearer as
much as to say: 'Ready for tho shears,
SIR" On the shearer taking hold Of tho
sheep, the dog scampers up tho mountain
su)e aud brings down anetber.

Mt. Idaho, under an adjournment till
that time. At first this seemed plau-
sible and certainly it would greatly
have subserved, both the county and
the accused, especially those who are
not under bail. But upon careful
examination of the laws it was found
extremely doubtful whether an adjour-
ment as proposed could be legal and
hence when the court did adjourn it
ad burned sine die. 1t is now hop
ed that the Supreme Court, which
holds a session in September, will use
all the powers they have to meet the
necessities of the people in such cases,
and if they have not the power, then
that Congress will give it to them Or
to the legislature. We think the leg
islature should have and exercise it as
the members of that body will be
fresh from the people and will know
what is wanted.
