THE CORN GRoP.
Es,in,a,ea Increase over 1889 of Twelve
Fer Cent.

MILWAUKEE, June 1.-THE annual corn
crop review of Robert Lindblom & Co, Col
cago, was completed Saturday and was yes
terday given 10 the press. The review COM
prises reports from nearly 1000 points In
leading corn States, and gives a compre-
henslve review OF the corn stu stion. In-
quiries were sent by Lindblom & Co during
the last days in May, TO 100 points in the
principal corn States, ten in number asking
information concerning the present condition
OF corn, the acreage planted, damage done
by cold and wet, etc. A comprehensive sum-
mary of the answers TO these questions is
given in the subjoined Briefly stated, the
condition OF corn ia generally very good.
There is large increase in The scresge
planted this year, especially in the
winter wheat States, where thousands
OF acres of ruined wheat have been
piowed up and planted 10 corn. The dam
age done by cold weather and rains in May
AMI the latter part OF April appears to have
amounted IN most cases 10 but little more
than the Delaying OF planting snd retarding
OF the growth OF grain after planting. Warm
weather, which set in about June LIST, changed
the aspect Of affairs very much. Warm and
bright weather came Just in time TO do it's
work. Had it been delayed ten days longer
the result would have been disastrous. Aa
it is, there is promise of a large yield, and
with good weather the promise W. II not fail
of fuitillment. In sections whers, because Of
poor quality of seed or bad condition of soil,
corn did net come up, the full acreage has in
nearly all cases been rsplsuted. No estimate
of toe aggregate yield OF the ten States is
'ttempted. The increased acreage and a
generally favorable stand warrant the belief
that tire growing crop will exceed the crop of
1882 al least twelve per cent.

1t is said that yeuug Englishwomen of
the middle and upper ranks are physic,lly
stronger than their compeers in any other
European country or in the United States.
WE'LL bred American girls are famous for an
excellent and refined type of loveliness;
French ladies are the best dressed in the
World; the youthful frduIeins of Germany
have the finest heads OF hair; the Spanish
girls the brightest eres TO be found anywhere,
and in Venice and Florence may be seen to
this day direct descendants of those old
world blonde beauties siill fresh and fair
upon the canvas of Titan. When, however,
all is said that courtesy 10 the foreigner de-
mands, young English ladies remain stouter
of limb, clearer Of complexion, and alto
gether more hearty than others elsewhere.
Plain food, sound sleep, suitable clothirg,
exercise in the open air, and the plentiful
application Of soap and water are the by
gienic open secrets for the preservation of
health 10 the human being; and the use of
those aids, helped by climate favorable to
physical development and personal beauty,
have made young EngIishwomen what they
are at their best.

The young lady who decides TO adopt the
profession" of either music or painting, says
the Nashville Bonner, must FIRST realize that
she must 20 through much drudgery and
several years of hard WORK before sue can fl
herself for teacher. The country is full OF
sm atterers and so-called artists and music
teachers, who have picked u in a cursory way
few crude ideas ef their chosen calling, aud
with there they set up as Instructors" The
fact that young lady can mix few paints
together and produce an unheaTd ef color,
and possesses the acility to daub it on panel
or e plaque does not make her an artist.
Such person is not capable Of teaching art
or the principles of art. Tue same may BE-
said of the smatteret in music. A young
lady stakes" music on the piano for 1--WE We.
months, learns to execute with tolersb!e ex-
