81. PAUL, Aug. 4.-The wheat harvest in
the southern part of the State began this
week. The weather for the past few days has
been cool and dry, and fears of a wet harvest
are nearly dissipated. With few local ex-
cepticns where the chinch bugs blight and
rust have injured the crop, the prospect for
wheat is the best that has been seen for many
years. The Pioneer Press lately addressed
circulars of inquiry to trustworthy oorre-
spondents in every county in the State, asking
for an estimate of the probable yield and
quality. The estimates of the yield per acre
in the southern part of tho State range from
twelve to eighteen bushels, and in the north
western and northern counties from fifteen
to twenty five bushels per acre. 1t is believed
everywhere that the grain will grade high
unless it is injured by wet harvest. The
latest reports indicate that the estimate of
40, 600, 600 bushels as an aggregate crop was
not too high.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Increased complaints are
received of damage to wheat in Michigan and
Wisconsin by tho continued rains. In many
places the wheat in shock is reported sprout-
ing, and unless dry weather comes immedi-
ately considerable quantities will be ruined.
Barley also is reported injured in Wisconsin
and Minnesota. The weather in the sprin G
wheat sections is generally fine, and the har.
vest in many localities is proceeding favora-
bly,. Corn is rapidly improving, and if frost
keeps Off fully three fourths crop is GER
tain. All other crops will be the largest ever
raised.

Torpedo Experiments - The wonderful
Device of Lieutenant Mclean.
NEWPORT, Aug. "A device for exploding
torpedoes under an enemy's vessel designed
by Lieutenant j. g. Mclean, of the American
navy, who was delegate to the recent Elec-
trical Congress at Paris was successfully ex-
perimented with this morning in the presence
of a naval board. A launch was sent out by
aid of electricity, no one being on board, and
was made by the use of one electric wire to
do eight different things, among which were
to start, stop, back, go to port, and to star
board, and to drop, aud fire mines and coun-
termines, which were rugged at the ends of
spars placed on each side of the launch's
bow Lieutenant Colonel Royal B. Bradford,
who was at key board on shore, had perfect
control of the launch by the aid of one wire.
The electrical part of the experiment was in
charge of Lieutenant Colonel Caldwell, who
was in the electrical building at the torpedo
station. which was at long distance from
the spot where the key board was located
Captain J. o. Selfridge's device for protect
ing ship from an enemy's torpedoes, which
may be planted at the entrance to n harbor,
was shown and successfully experimental
with. After these experiments the class were
examined in electricity, which finished the
n orning's exercises. The examination was
finished this afternoon.

To one who has to any extent made the
Chinese among anything of study, moth
ing is more scientifically amusing than the
changes that the lady Chinese have made in
their dress during the past ten twelve
years. At and before that time the damsels
aired themselves on tho fashionable boule-
wards of Chinatown, or rested in the shades
of its alleys, attired in gorgeous silken raj
ments, white hose, petite shoes of the latest
Canton brand, green bangles their arms
and smaller ditto in their ears, and last, but
not least, head of hair which rose in small
pinnacles, wings and turrets of bangs, mon
tagues and things, for a foot or two above their
heads. That the style ten years ago,
but it is all changed now. The neat white
Canton clipper, which flip Topped against
the sidewalk and appeared at all times
to be upon the point of falling off, or
at least tripping up it's owner has been large
ly superseded by the common female CATER
of commerce the silken robes have given
place to common cambria, we'll glazed the
earrings that the sportive hoodlums failed to
pull out by the roots are filed away for more
peaceful times the bangles have nearly all
followed suit, and as for the elaborate head
gear, it is safe to say that it would be rather
difficult to find a Chinese woman in this city
who now luxuriates in it's possession. The
Greek and German style is now all the rage.
By the former we mean the coil of hair at the
back of the head, deity secured by couple
of long brass pins, and by the latter, the
simple pig.ta which needs nothing but a
bright bit of ribbon at the end to remind
ono of the Caucasian school girl of sweek

Old Customs in Thtbet.

Lieutenant G. K etler in Popular Science Monthly
The principal food of the country is called
3aanb0. To make it quantity of powdered
tea is cooked for several hours after which
it is poured into churn, when salt and but
ter are added, and the whole is stirred till
complete mixture is effected. The broth Is
then divided among the hungry ones, each of
whom gets his share in a wooden bowl, after
which a sack of roasted barley-meal is
brought out. Every one takes a handful of
meal from the sack, puts it into the tea and
mixes the mass into shapely lump. and
swallows his dough with a keen appetite.
After the meal is over, the wooden bowls
are licked clean with the tongue and worn on
the breast next to the skin as something pre-
cious.
Polyandry is practised, not on account of
any lack of women, for there is no such lack
but as measure of economy. When the
eldest son marries his wife becomes also the
wife of all his brothers. The custom does
not lead to SO many difficulties as it might be
supposed it would, and the chief trouble
arising out of it concerns the fatherhood of
the children. The housewife occupies rath-
er a commanding than subordinate posi-
ton.
Three ways of burying the dead prevail
The poor sink their dead in one of the noun
tain streams those of a better class hang
the bodies upon a tree, where they are con-
sumed by birds, and the bones are afterwards
thrown into the river the rich cut the bodies
up into small pieces, pound the bones and
mix them with j0nabG and then carry the re-
mains to the mountains, where they are left
for the birds. These are old customs and
have no connection with religion.

News From the Chicago Markets.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The defaulters on July
wheat entered vigorous protest against the
legality of the committee appointed by the
board of trade to fix the settling price on
wheat not delivered. The chance of settling
outside the courts is daily diminishing. The
rein and reports of damage to winter wheat
in shock in Michigan and Wisconsin, in con
nection with the small receipts and heavy
shipments, sent prices up one cent, but the
scslpers who bought at yesterdays break
sold freely and the advance was lost. There
is less disposition to put out large lines of
shorts. Winter wheat is regarded as cheap.
Some of the strong buyers are picking it up
quietly in anticipation of small receipts for
the next few weeks, as the farmers in the
winter wheat sections will avail themselves of
the splendid condition of the ground to
plough for fall seeding and will have little
time to market more wheat than their neces-
stiles compel them to sell Immediately.
Cash wheat is actively called for by shippers.
Corn is frmer, the advance being due to
small receipts. There is a prospect of large
reduction of stock this week. Oats are ex-
cited and II cents higher. August shorts
are frightened at the small receipts and the
prospect of bad weather for threshing. Pork
was higher and unsettled. Lard was quiet.

The consumption of this seductive, health

Marylebone, for which parish he is the pub
lie analyst and medical officer of health Ii
seemed to him, therefore, right and proper
thing to chemically examine samples of this
liquid, which was done. Absinthe is vel
lowish green liqueur, which contains, as
peculiar ingredient, poisonous oil having
deleterious effect on the nervous system the
oil is called worm wood-oil, and is produced
in nature by the 19'tenliSd d6si7at3ilIn1 Other
havoring oils are always added, such as pep
permint, angelica cloves, cinnamon, and
anis seed. The color is produced by the
juice of nettles, spinach or parsley; or, in
other words, is due to the common green
''chlorophyll" found in all green plants
Most samples of absinthe contain sugar. The
average composition of absinthe is follows:
Absolute alcohol, in 100 parts, so 90; oil of
NORWOOD, 80 other essential oils, . So
As 65. Alcohol causes drunken sleep; al
cohol and absinthe combined produce con-
WILSON'S. The poor wretches given up to
absinthe- drinking suffer from a peculiar train
, of nervous symptoms, the most prominent of
which is epilepsy of q remarkably severe
character, terminating in softening of the
brain and death. The last moments of the
absinthe drinker are often truly horrible. M.
Voisin records case in which man was
picked up in the public street in an epileptic
fit. He was known to be large consumer of
absinthe. The commissions lasted until death
-four days and four nights. During the last
five or six hours of life the skin of the face
