The figures for August lst, showing
the condition of the crops, will be found
to vary much from the July showing.
The report will show a loss on the wheat
crop, compared with last year, 20 per
cent greater than it appeared from the
July statement, or IA shortage in the
neighborhood Of l25, 900, 600 bushels.
The corn crop will make Il better showing
than in July, while cotton and tobacco
will be fair.

A meeting of fifty men and two women
was held in Boston last week for the pur-
pose of sympathizing with Hartmann, the
Nihilst. Speeches denouncing Russian
tyranny, were made and committee ap-
pointed to invite Hartmann to address a
public meeting there. No persons of
prominence figured in the assemblagc.
A few years ago M. Montigny called
attention to the fact that the scentilation
of strrs is considerably increased during
aurora borcalis. Further data on
this subject are afforded in a recent
issue of the bulletin Of the Belgian Acad-
emy Among other things, he has OBJ
served that the phenomenon is more pro-
nounced in winter than in summer, and
that stars in the northern regions show
the increased scintellation most. The
authors general conclusion is that the
effect is not one due to direct influence of
the electromagnetic light of aurora on
scintcllation itself, but 20 disturbances
(probably cooling) which coincide with
the appearance OF aurora in the upper re-
gions of the air, travcrsed by the star
rays.

HOW PARSONS ADVERTISE.

protested the dominic. Il don't adver-

"Humbug!" responded the agent,
seating himself on the table "They
all advertise. | don't suppose you
want to come out and say, The Rev.
Joseph Gospel, Practical Preacher;

That isn't the way to do it. My idea
is to have you preach heretical sermon
or abuse another minister, and then /
will put you up an article for the press
that will just raise the hair. Down
comes the crowd to see you; contribu-
tion plates just heaped with S. notes;
salary raised and the parsonage newly
furnished The expense is slight and
you make a good thing of it. Let me
show you our list of prices"
81 don't believe in heretical SER
mons" said the theologain, musingly.
"Hit off some other parson then.

it does the business quicker"
Twenty five per cent of the gross
receipts for six weeks and one-third of
the foreign mission contributions for
twelve months; it don't come out OF
your pocket, and you reap the benefits. "
"What does it cost to abuse another
minister"
"rhree hundred dollars down and
one-half the raise of salary, payable
quarterly"
That's rather high" murmured the
minister. "Wh hat does the heretical
sermon eost?''
THAT comes lower. You can get
through ON that line for two hundred
and fifty"
"It's more than l can Afford" sighed
the parson.
"You might go into one of our COM
bination schemes. III get dominic
to go for you, and you hit back. Cost
you one hundred and fifty apiece. How
does that strike you? We can effect q
reconciliation afterward for fifty head
more, and raise of salary guaranteed.
Just look over our catalogue of minis.
ters and pick out your man. Take
some fellow you can get away with,
and there you are"
"How do pay for this?" asked the
parson.
''fwenty.6ve dollars down and the
balance when the job is finished"

TIE municipal election in Los
Angeles yesterday was a thorough
triumph for the Democrats. While
no special efforts W ere made to Sc
cure such q gratifying result, the
party practically made a clean
sweep. There lie much cause for
congratuiation In the election Of
the members of the Board Of Edu-
cation. It returns to efficient
service In that body DR.. Joseph
Kurtz, who for years was one of its
most painstsking and indefatiga-
BILE members. 1t adds to 1t Mr.. J.
Brousseau, who is not surpassed In
this community in liberal culture
and devotion to educational inter.
ests, and who will give conscien'
tous attention to the exigent du.
ties Of the position. DR.. J. 8. Craw'
ford has been q valuable aud pub
lie spirited citizen, who has long
been pillar OF Los Angeles; and
the community, which elected
him, will be glad to know thai
this genial aud wholesouled gen
tlemsn will be called upon
to give a portion Of his leisure
to their educational concerns
Dropping from the Board Of Edu
cation to the Council, the Demo
orats have technically elected fiv'
out Of the nine new members, while
adding Mr.. Weyse, who Was nom
mated by the Democrats and en-
dsrssd by the Citizens. and Mr.
Mssmer, who. was nominally de-
fssted by two votes, but who really
received four votes for the short
term, and ought to be declared
elected, the Democrats have really
elected seven out of the nine Coun.
Gilman. We call upon the nomi.
nees who have received the prefer.
ence of their fellow citizens In the
late election to respect the public
sentiment which elected them.
We direct this remark With special
emphasis to Mr.. o. G. Weyse, who
was nominated by the Democrats
and endorsed by the Citizens, and
who was 60 cordially supported by
