SURPLUS WHEAT.--By those who are
sanguine, the surplus wheat production
of Europe is estimated as follows: Russia
eighty million bushels; central Europe
and Hungary, twen,y-tour million, and
southeastern Europe, sixteen million;
total, 120 millions This would be, to
meet the wants of France, sixteen mill
ion bushels; Switzerland, eight million,
Holland, Belgium, and parts of,Germany,
sixteen million. This would leave
eighty million bushels, besides European,
Asian, American and Australian Offer
ings for Great Britain to chose from
This is a large estimated export for Rus
STA, which, taking one year with another
does not export more than fifty million
bushels, and which from present indica-
tons will net reach that figure as a re-
suit Of the coming harvest. All wheat
producing countries will move into the
new harvest with small stocks Of grain
The price that will rule cannot now be
predicted, but 1t is safe to say that the
value of grain Will certainly be as great
as it is now, and probably greater The
harvest of Europe this year will be bet
ter than that of last year, and that of
the United States will be proportionately
poorer Those of Chill, Australia, and
other regions of the southern hemisphere,
are known to be smaller than last year,
while those of India aid Egypt will be
about the same as those of last season.

VERY DTSCOURAGING.

President Garfield con,tition took a
turn for the worse last Monday and the
gravest apprehension are felt for his re-
covery. His stomach refused to perform
its functions and nourishment had to be
administered by injection. Vomiting and
nausea occurred several times during the
day, The patients pulse went up as
high as $50. All the members OF the
cabinet were summoned to return, and
intense anxiety prevailed about Washing
ton on Monday. Tuesday the President
rallied little and his pulse fell a few dc
grees, but his improvement was not as
marked as his physicians had hoped for.
It's evident that the Presidents condi-
ton is more critical now than at any
time since his prostration, and his phys
clans give but very little hope of his re-
coyery. In connection with the Presi-
dents condition, the question of calling
upon the Vice President at once to as
sumo the power OF the executive receives
renewed attention, and the plan begins
to receives favor even among some who
have opposed it heretofore.

a Town of Trinoli.

Derne, or Beled ell SCOT, the ancient
Darnis, is placed near the mouth OF
large ravine, or wady, on point OF low
land running out from the foot OF a
high range Of barren hills about mile
from the coast. Unusually well sup
piled with water for that region. 1t has
numerous date-palms,. vineyards, and
gardens. In the winter the wady Is
full of rushing water from the hills.
but in summer the market is held IN
the bed of the torrent.
The streets of the town, which con-
tains some good houses, are, like those
OF most places in Barbary, narrow. II
regular, and filed with the filth and
rubbish which seems Indispensable to
Arab comfort and happiness. The port
is small and inconvenient, with no pro-
lection from the north or northeast.
So little do such towns change, that

The Summit County (Col. Times
gives the following laughable incident.
showing how young America caught
the fever:
One of the most laughable and PEI
culiar cases, showing the incentive to
acquire mining property, came within
our notice this week. Two and Swear
old boys, one the son of Superintendent
Gleason, Of the Milo Mines, and the
other the son of Engineer Parks, of the
Greer smelter, wandered up in Clinton
Gulch, and during their absence there
found prospect hole containing regu-
lar miners tools. Inspired with an
idea of becoming bonanza kings even
at the very tender age, and being as
full of mining ideas as any manager,
they concluded to take possession, and
deeming 1t strictly essential, they
dumped OVER the hole and procur-
ing piece of paste board inscribed the
following: 81, Willie Gleason. and
Dennie Parks, hereby jump this claim.
We jump the pick and shovel, too.
1t seems that placer claim had been
located there, and at the point in ques-
ton the owner was making arrange
ments to put in . sluice box. Accord
ingly 8 few days thereafter when he
came along and noticed the unique in
scription thereon he left straightway
in high dudgeon for Superintendent
Gleason's home. thinking that gentle
man was trying to get possession. Mu-
tual surprise was the result, and whom
it became known that the two youthful
miners were ct the bottom of it, the af-
fair was promptly dropped amid much
laughter. The boys haven't located

The Spread of Mohammedanism.

Wilfrid S. Blunt, the well-known orr
entalist. has just completed census
from the best obtainable authorities of
Accommodation According to him
the creed numbers IT'S. 600. 900 believ-
ers, divided into four sects, of which the
Sunites are las, 000, 900. There were
$3.50 pilgrims at Mecca last year. But
the most singular feature of Blunt s
record is the spread of Islamism into
the heart of Africa. In the dark con-
tinent the faith is alive and at work,
and proselytizing as fiercely as in the
days of the caliphs of Bagdad. Each
year adds thousands of converts to the
faith of the prophet. and the result will
shortly be the erection of another Mo-
hammedan ealiphate in Soudan, which
is now largely tslamite. The work
which this creed has done in the civil
cation of the world will never be ap-
preciated, and now again in Africa, as
centuries ago in Europe, the Crescent
is shining brightly upon benighted
people. Our debt to the Arabs inSpain
and to the Ottomans in Southeastern
Europe will never be paid. The phi
losophers laid the foundation of nearly
every science that we have their COM
manders taught us strategy and modern
war. 1t would not be strange if Islam
took a new lease of life in the oldest
part of earth and sprouted freshly
among it's peoples. 1t is system which
is indigenous to the tropics, as charac-
teristic as the fauna or the fora Or the
torid zone; and young Africa, under
the green standard of the prophet,
may yet take her place among the
nations

The Reason of Birds.

Several years ago pair of my cana
ries built; while the hen was setting
the weather became intensely hot. She
dropped and / began to fear that she
would not be strong enough to hatch
the eggs. watched the birds closely,
and soon found that the cock was de-
voted nurse. He bathed in the fresh
cold water that supplied every morn
ing, and then went to the edge of the
nest, and the hen buried her head in
his breast and was refreshed. Without
a sponge, what more could he have
done? The following Spring the same
bird was hanging in window with
three other canaries, each in q sepa-
rate cage. / was sitting in the room
and heard my little favorite give Pc
culiar cry. I looked up and saw all
the birds crouching on their perches,
paralyzed with fright. On going to
the window to ascertain the cause of
their terror saw large balloon pas
sing over the end of the street. The
birds did not move till it was out of
sight, when they all gave chirp of re-
lief. The balloon was only within
sight of the bird who gave the alarm,
and have no doubt he mistook it for a
bird of prey. l have a green and a
yellow canary hanging side by side.
They are treated exactly alike and are
warm friends. One has often refused
to partal1e of some delicacy till the
other was supplied with 1t. One day /
had five blossoms of dandelion; / gave
three to the green bird, two to the yell
low one The latter flew about his
cage singing in shrill voice, and
showing unmistakable signs of anger.
Guessing the cause, took away one of
the three flowers, when both birds set
tied down quietly to enjoy their feast.

Sowing Seed in Windy Weather.

Sow from the wind sidewise, and
when turning round to come back, in
stead of walking back without sowing
against the wind, change hands. For
nearly fifty years have always sowed
with my left hand as well as my right.
Sowing grain with both hands at once
was customary in my native land. If
the wind blows from the west, walk
north and south, and throw to the east
with the left hand when going north,
and use the right hand when going
south. / can SOW much wider, ami
thus save much walking when the wind
is high, and always prefer to have O
brisk, blowing day. I throw the seed
right up, as fast as can walk, the
hand going regularly with the step in
uniform, swinging gait. and not spill a
drop of it, and the acquisition of this
art or knack gives her the same erect
and elastic gait
