A sewing machine agent In driving
through Monroe County, Kentucky,
drew up before cottage aud asked a
beardless sixteen-year-old boy stand
ing In the yard if his mother was at
home. ''She is, but che don't live
here" he answered. "I'ln the head of
this house." Finding the boy married,
the agent went inside and encountered
a child, who said she was the boys
wife, and that when she was married
she was not eleven years old. "What
on earth. did you two marry for?''
asked the agent. "What do other folks
marry for?" the child replied. The
boy said that he intended to buy a
sewing machine for his wife when she
got old enough to sew. "Come around
In three or four years." he said, land

Mr.. ID. Whiting is about starting an
ostrich farm In the San Joaquin Valley
One must start with good birds poor
birds are like scrub cattle. Then, also,
the right kind Of farm, with plenty Of
good feed and water, Is necessary.
Then, with a certain amount of gump-
tion, one need not fail.
Ostrich farming, carried on properly,
is very profitable. A good feather bird
will produce from $50 to 1926 worth of
feathers every eight months, and the
breeding birds will nest four times per
year, Matching the pair on an average
Of twenty chicks each time, which are
worth, If the old birds are good ones,
$50 at two weeks old; then, as they
advance In age, they also advance in
value. The cock bird does nearly all
the haching, and can usually cover
twenty-five eggs. All above that num-
Der laid by the hen are Matched in an
incubator. The period of incubation is
usually forty-two days. .-...,.,.

ENGLISH GRAIN.

LONDON, Sept. 6.-The Mark Lane E1pwss
says: The harvest in the southern and eastern
counties is mostly completed and the grain is
stacked in very excellent condition. The gen.
eral testimony 80 far concurs that the results Of
the threshing are disappointing. 1t has been
for some time accepted as q matter of course
that the abnormal season and general preva-
lence of mildew must materially reduce the
yield of marketable wheat, and this is now
found to be the case. The crop is much heavi-
or than at one time could reasonably have been
expected, but nearly all the best barleys
were so much laid by storms
that reports of discolored and imperfectly
ripened samples are only what were to have
been expected The oat orep is better than
it promised to be month ago. Root crops
are fast maturing and another fortnight of fine
weather will make heavy crops certainty.
The hop crop is very variable. A rapid loss of
color is noticeable in the gardens of West
Kent in consequence ofdense night fogs. Deliv-
cries of new English wheat have been steadily
increasing IN provincial markets, but at Mark
Lane the supply has been small. Sales have
been slow at decline of / shilling in London
and from shilling to 2shillings in majority
of the leading country markets. The foreign
wheat trade presents no new feature of inter-
est. The temporary steadineas in consequence
of the falling off of American ship
ments gave place to feeling
of listlessness and depression last
Monday, which clung to the trade the remain
der of the week. New America was free,v
offered at A shillings without finding buyers.
Sales of English wheat last week were Ii, ,6S6
quarters at 43 ehillinRs pence, against 1850
quarters at 48 shillings for the corresponding
period of last year. The imports into the
kingdom for the week ending August az were
wheat, l,677, ,68S cwt.; flour, H6,201 cwt.
American maize closed easier at % shillings.
The dullness in the wheat trade checked the
Improvement in -four.

Matte vicksrs LAST Night.

Matte Vickers and Charles 8. Rogers. with
their combination, attracted q large audience
to the Opera House last evening. The enter
tainment consisted of the ever popular farce,
Love in Livery" followed by the musical
and dramatic extravaganza, "The Players,'
which thi6 company has made speciality. ard
q very acceptable one it proved to be to the
audience of last evening. The bsgatelIe Is
simply the depletion of the experiences of
lot of strolIing players who apply to mana
ger for engagements, which gives them an OPP
portunity Of presenting to the audience vari-
ous variety acts of more than ordinary merit.
Miss Vickers, q charming protean as.ress Of
the Lotta school, assumes fOuf diff
ferent characters, in all of which
she appears to the best possible
advantage in song, dialogue and dance. Her
Irish and German assumptions were especially
fine, while her imitation of Aimes showed her
cape bilities admirably. She was heartily en-
cored after each of her PRESENTATIONS, and re-
sponded In q gracious manner Mr.. Rogers
gave number Of very excellent limitations of
several of the leading actors of the country,
and bv bis grotesqueness kept the audience in
excellent humor. The entertainment as whole,
though light, was highly enjoyable. 1t made
the people leugh till their sides ached, and all
who we're present went away highly pleased and
ready to go again. The same bill will be re-
Deated this evening, and the success of the
irst night Is q guarantee of full house.

ARKANSAS ELECTION.
A Democratic Majorit

A Democratic Majority of $4,000 Clsimyd.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. 6.-Indicatiol Z
that in the election of all State, county off-
GERS and the legislature to-day, the Demo-
Gratis carried the State by the usual majority.
The elec' ion here passed off quietly. The Re-
publicans claim the election Of Oliver as sheriff
of Pulaski county. Nothing definite can be
ascertalned, however, before morning. The
election here to-day was very quiet and peace
able. There were three tickets in the field in
this (PulaskD county, Democratic, Republican
and Greenback. It will take the official count
to de- ermine the result. The main question
voted was the proposed amendment to the
constitution repudiating certain bonds, which
was defeated in this county by over two
thousand majority. Reports from Jefferson,
Miller and other counties report overwhelming
majorities against it. 1t is the opinion of Col
Smith, chairman of the Democratic State Ger
tral Committee, that the amendment Is defes
ed aud the Democratic State ticket elected y
5000 majority.
