one hundred operators were at work at the

this way had to fall from the second floor to
the ground. Several were burned by the
flames belching out of the windows, Others
jumped from the windows. In all sixteen

TIE rnssrEe9s OF TEE r.41.

The San Francisco Journal of
Commerce says: Though We have
not had as much rain a. in 1850 or
1881, notably the latter, we have
had it come in better time than
during the latter year. The soil, so
tar as crops are concerned, has BENG
titea more by it than it did q year
ago. We have had no devastating
floods TO drown out the dwellrrs on
the lower Sacramento and San Joa-
quin, and TO ruin their crops. These
island. will produce abunlan,ly be-
yond all precedent. The San Joa-
qnin valley acre for acre will not be-
anything behind 1880, while all
over the State the acreage is much
more than it was then. We may
then expect much larger yield oi
wheat and barley, at least 10000, 900
bushels more OF the fo.mcr.
Prices have been pretty steady
for The. past III NTH or so, and in the
face Of great harvest, aud they
will probably remain steady after the
usual decline cont:ngen. on the near
approach of the new grain to market.
In England ii is thought that bed
rock has been reached, and, indeed,
the recent advance in Liverpool
seems to pre,i'ct as much. We look
therefore, for steady market. The
wheat crop will he worth, at low
calculation, 500, 900, ,Ooo-'he highest
value ever placed on a wheat crop
in this or amy other State in the
Union.
Our gold pIaecrs yield steadily
a,ong about the same quantity of The
precious metal; hut the rains ami
melting shows of this year render
the situation more favorable than for
many years past.
The total value Of our products
and manufac, aries This year will not
he less than slao. goo, 900. a jump OF
$40. 100000 from last year. This
will help wonderfully aud will be re-
invested i'll new enterprises and new
industries which will be themselves

JuVeHiie Mortality.

Que of the most mysterious phe-
nomena of human existence is the
large percentage Of mortality among
young children. 4 fearful proper
,ion OF the deaths everywhere are
those of persons who have just be-
gun to live. Even when due allow
ance ia made for faults Of nursing and
training, it appears hardly possible
that any Improvement can offset the
inherited weakness from which so
many children suffer, and, as yet,
science has taught little concerning
those epidrmics which find the ma
jority of their victims among the
little ones. Still, intelligent care and
favorable surroundings can de much.
The ED.lish statistics, much more
full and accurate than those of our
own country, show that in the rural
countries the mortality of Chi dren
under five years of age does not ex-
ceed, and often fails below, forty in
the thousand. In the cities and
towns the average is much greater,
ranging from about fif,y-nine in tie
thousand, in Portsmouth, 10 over

4 Curious Ecrtiny Ground.

Near Opo,iki, in New Zealand, was
blown down some months ago an en-.
ormous tree, believed to be many
hundred years old, in which were
piles of human bones. The interior
was hollow, and f ON the roots to
the first branch the great tree meas
ured forsy-five feet. Within this
space were packed the bones, which.
AZ the tree struck the gronn.l, were
scattered about in CHASTITY confusion.
Some of the skeletons were nearly
perfect, while others appeared Ia
have existed in the tree in a chaotic
mass of heads, hands feet and arms.
All the Maoris of the neighborhootl
appear to have been ignorant of the
existence OF this strange burial spot,
and declare that it must have been
used long before the time Of their
iathers.-Astoridn.

This is a fearful number, and no.
