THE CROP REPORT FOR MAY.-The
May returns of wheat to the Depart
ment of Agriculture make conditions,
compared with April averages, mate
rally lower in New York and Michi-
gan and in Ohio and Illinois. Further
injury was wrought by frosts early in
April, and in the more Northern dis
.tricts the real damage by March freez-
ing was more fully disclosed as the
covering of snow and ice disappeared.
The average is n for New York; for
Michigan, SO; for Ohio, 60; for Illinois,
&c. In Indiana the condition averages
75, and New Jersey reports 101, both
the same as in April All the remain
ing Northern States show an improve
ment since the April report, as we'll as
the Pacific coast and nearly all of the
Southern States.
The average condition of the Winter
wheat is 83I, against so in April. 1t
| should be understood that in depart
ment reports of condition 100 means a
medium growth with full stand and a
healthy plant. The Spring wheat area
will not be complete till May Is, and
will be reported June /. The statisti-
cal agent for Dakota makes the prob.
able increase 80 per cent. The agent
for Minnesota reported sc per cent o.
last years area already planted. 1t is
Not probable that increase in Spring
wheat area will more than make gooC
the loss of Winter wheat acreage
The present condition represents a loss
of II 100000 bushels rs compared witt
the same period last year.

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BY THUN-

Knoxville, Iowa, was frightened to
death by severe thunder storm a few
nights ago. She had been quite we'll
the day before, but awoke during the
storm and besought her mother to take
her to her bed, ''for she was afraid of
thunder" Her supplications were un-
needed, and soon the mother was
aroused by the child's difficult breath

she found her in a dying condition,

The five years coMtract which New
York State has made for the labor of
the cOnvicts at Clinton prison, at 35
cents each day, will interest tailors,
since the cOnvicts are to be put at the
manufacture of clothing. TO make up
the number of $50 hands required, Il
hundred convicts from other prisons
are to be transferred to Clinton, so in
dicating that the prisons are selected
and managed nowadays chiefly with a
view to convict labor. How this flood
of work at 35 cents day will affect
labor outside of the prisons remains to
be seen. But many man and many a

How He SHOWED IT OFF.-An Aus
tin clerk took in a bad $40 bill, and his
employer, who is a very severe man,
threatened to deduct it from his wages
unless he showed it off on some other
customer. He said that he did not in
tend that the firm should lose it.
Next morning when the proprietor
came down the clerk met him with n
beaming smile, and said
"Hurrah l showed that bill off on
a fellow. The firm won't lose cent. .
"On whom did you palm it off?"
I threw dice, on account of the firm
with member of the Legislature for
it, and we lost. ."-TeraS Siftings.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE GAIT OF TROT-
TING HORsEs.-The Improvement in
the quality of the gait of the trotting
horses within the last few years is one
of the marvels in trOtting. Only u
very few years ago, the jumping-jack
kind of trOtter was very common in
tha very best localities. Indeed, the
skip jack gait was cultivated, and
thought to be indispensable to fast
speed in harness. The large majority
of trainers argued that the horse must
learn to break and catch before he
could be relied upon in a race. For,
said they, if he is not a good catcher, a
break would put him behind the flag.
Therefore, the horse must be spoiled
before he was good for anything for a
harness turf horse. A break rested
him, they said. "Give him his head,
let him jump a few rods, then set
him down, and he can fairly fly"
Such were the erroneous teachings in
former years.
To-day the gait of the trotter is as
smooth and regular as the play of the
piston rod; as rythmical as the most
harmonious symphonies of musical
composition. Why is it so? Because
fashion dictated. Mr.. Bonner bought
only such, and gentlemen of wealth
everywhere followed his example. As
soon as it became known that pure
trotting gait was the saleable thing,
trotters began to make rapid improve
ment in the quality of gait not only
but in quality as well. The modern
trotter is, therefore, a model trotter
There are few horses on the turf now
adays that pull ton by the bit, as was
customary at one time. To trot fast
the horse should not be hampered by
any more harness than is necessary fol
his complete safety. Indeed, we look
for the horse to trot best with no more
harness than bride, reins, back straps
saddle and girth at an early day.
