Ernest Sylverton, a rich Wall street
broker living in Hoboken, n. J., oppo-
site New York City, writes: 'Th be ex-
cessive strain Of nervous excitement re-
sulting from stock speculation and too
high living made quite an invalid of me.

health and strength"
The wheat crop of this country the
present year will be almost unprecedent-
ed. The Bureau of Agriculture places
the yield at 500,000,OO0 bushels while
other authorities which claim to be equal
ly we'll or better informed place it at 600,
OO0,OOO bushels Or more. The New
York Commercial Bulletin predicts that
the crop will not be less than 75O, 900, 900
bushels, and probably more than 100000
600. The discrepancy between the cal
culations of this paper and the Govern
ment Bureau is due to the fact that,
while both are practically agreed as the
acreage, the former places the yield per
acre considerably above that put down by
the Bureau of Agriculture The Bulletin
computes the acreage at &c, 800. 600. and
predicts that the yield per acre will be
closely IN the neighborhood of IA bushels.
This would give yield of 571 900, 900
bushels. At all events it appears certain
that the country has wheat enough for
home consumption and the large foreign
demand which the failure of the crop in
England, together with the disturbances
of foreign war, are likely to create

hundred more if he had had sufficient
number of tame elephants. All the wild
elephants were caught on the Garrow
Hills, so that it may safely be concluded,
when so many have been caught in
such comparatively small erea, that there
is little fear of their extinction in India

no time for sport, he came across and

than buffalo. Mr.. Sanderson also,killed
some tigers, two in one day. One ofthese

DIR. Bliss evidently has very high es-
innate of his professional services even
when such services prove worthless. He
has handed in claim of $4,000 for at
tending President Garfield. The count
try would willingly pay him that amount
and much more if he had saved his great
patients life. There is feeling abroad
that DIR. Bliss services did more harm
than good to the suffering President.
