About a month after Jennie Cramer
was in the surf at Manhattan Beach,
alive with youthful health and spirits,
she was again in the edge of the ocean
with no life at all in her fair body.
This was at West Haven, a seasLore
resort neal New Haven, Conn. AL
though she was lying in the water
when found, her death had not been
caused by drowning, but by poisoning,
Arsenic had first killed her, and then
she had been thrown into the surf.
Whether a case Of suicide or of MUIR
der, it is certain that from the time o.
her visit to New York she was relent.

ruin and death. A judicial trial il

TELEGPAPEIC
AgricuIturaI Report

washington, 1O.-The August crop
returns through the agricultural depart
ment, by the work Of about 5000 CORES
pondeBts, give an estimate covering the
entire producing AREA Of over j 500 Of the
pripcipsl agricultural counties of the
United States, upon the condition of the
most of the crops now growing.
The condition Of the cotton crop
has improved during the past month;
general acreage has advanced from 90
to "a. This is higher by three points
than in August, '79, and lower by eight
than in August, 80. Wheat returns in
August relate to the spring variety. Its
condition is higher than for several years
II wzs So in 80 and 81 in 70 and 'Sl; IL
is now 81, against ZOE last month, some
what late, but nearly ready for harvest
at the date of the returns. 1t il probable
that the product Of the winter ADD spring
wheat after the loss by sprOutiRg after
harvest, will slightly exceed SOC, eco, 900
bushels. ExtravagRnt estimates which
assume that Is 10 20 per cent. is injured,
are mere assumptions needlessly tending
to reduce the price of wheat in tho hands
of the farmers.
Special agent st the department Of
agriculture at London, cables to-day
that wheat 10 England promises an aver
age crop of good quality. In France
there ia a medium crop slightly damaged
ba rain in the blooming period. In Ger
many the recent heavy rains have deterio-
FITTED the quality, but ther lie abundance OF
the product. In Russia and Austria an
average crop, and Hungary, Is per cent.
above average. European prospects are
favorable for medium product, with
some reduction in quality.
The condition Of the corn crop is repre-
sented By SO as against ~ OF last year at
this date in 1881. The insect drouth was
seen in the reduction of Is points in its
general condition during July followed
By greater deterioration in August. At
the present time circumstances are favor
able for further improvement in most
states.

crops as follows: Oats, 1o2; spring rye,

Children should be set out in the
nursery at an early period in married
life as is consistent with good taste.
Wien very young they should be kept
quiet, not too much exposed to the
light. 1t is usual to engage some old
and experienced expert to attend to this
and the direction in which the ''twig is
inclined" at this stage is generally the
ruin of the parents peace of mind for
two years.
Milk is said to be good for babies, but
there are 50 many patent foods" now
sold at the drug stores that milk may as
well be done away with. Give the
child something that you don't know
anything about, and it will thrive
possibly.
DON'T cross the child when it is small.
It will take so kindly to having its own
way that it is really cruel to insist on
parental rights in the matter. t
Learn the little coots to ''crow'' as
early as possible. Take them in your
hands and toss them up as high as You
can, and joupce their digestive organs
all out of place. This is a genuine
~''raise" of children.
AS soon as possible put the green
baby into a baby-carriuge and push it
along the sidewalk, running into every
body with it and gathering admiring
crowds at the crossing to worship it.
This will give the little one some idea
of the way OF getting on in the world in
latter years.
1t is II good plan to hurry up a child
in the matter of walking. The sooner
a child walks, the more b~ew-legged and
irrepressihle he will be when he grows
up.
Just the moment the child let's go its
mothers apron strings, plant it In the
neighbours front yard. This will ave
your own lawn, while the little fellow
digs up the turf and carries away the
lawn of the neighbor in his little red
wheelbarrow. a.
Train the child to ''appear" in COM
pany. Urge him forward. There is
nothing like it. Visitors so much ad-
mire to have children climb and crawl
all over them in their gentle, prankish
way.
A good share of dirt makes a child
grow. Soap and water is useful, how
ever, once a week, to enable parents to
recognize their own Children when they
call them in to dinner.
Let them have their own sweet way
always. They will retaliate in the flu
ture by not letting you have yours but
what matters that?
Never allow the neighbors' children
on your premises. The hateful things
will influence your own children for
bad. Allowing your children to play
with the neighbours children on their
premises; however, has a salutary effect
on those benighted little frauds, and it
is your Christian duty to see that your
children mingle in this manner as much
as possible.
