The Coming CrOnS.

Crop reports received by the Chicago
Farmers Review, up to May 10, are to the
effect that the conditions for both wheat
and corn are better, but the general situs-
ton is by no means reassuring as yet
Winter wheat is beginning to head and
spring wheat is growing well, with gener-
ally good prospects in Illinois. Certain Sec
items report improved indications for
wheat, but the crop for the state at large
may fall short Of the average. Spring
wheat prospects in lows are fair, but corn
planting is greatly delayed. Michigan pre-
diets a small wheat crop, and the harvest
two weeks late. In Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin wheat prospects have improved in the
past two weeks. Kentucky and Tennessee
report improved wheat prospects, while
certain counties in Kansas predict not to
exceed half a crop. Other counties of
Kansas continue to send in very favorable
reports. Ohio and Indiana report fair
prospects only for wheat. In certain Sec
tions Of Missouri reported there are fears
Of chinch bug. Dakota prospects are very
promising.

A Wolf In Sleeps Clothing.
DR.. Foote's Health Monthly.

LIT. rOOto i1onltu hOutuy.
In the last week of April the Leader,
a daily paper of Bismarck, Dakota, con-
tanned the following complimentary
notice, which would be quite unobjec-
tionable to the Drs. Foote except that
DR.. f. b. Foote, Jr., was then at home
in New York, where he was naturally
surprised to read of his appearance in
the far west. He is not a sleep-walker,
nor does he wander away from home
in distracted moods of trance, and he
therefore at once notified the newspa-
per at Bismarck hat some clever but
rather ..'too fresh" young man was
perpetrating a fraud:
"The Leader inadvertently neglected
on Saturday to mention the arrival in
this city of DR.. E. B. Foote, Jr., of
New York. DR.. Foote has taken rooms
at the Merchants hotel, where he will
be pleased to receive calls from suffer-
ing humanity and cheerfully give ad-
vice and treatment. The doctor is a
son and professional partner of DR.. E.
B. Foote, of New York, of Medical
Common Sense fame, and is SAID to
be one of the very best specialists of
the age. His father has long been
known as the very best authority on the
diseases of women, and the doctor is
said to have inherited his fathers
knowledge to a remarkable degree"

Cooking With Oil Stoves.

Mrs. Lincoln, the Boston lecturer on
cookery, says: When n tells you
that there is stnO trouble" in using an
oil stove you may be morally certain
that she does not know what she is
talking about. To be sure you are
saved additional heat and dust in the
summer when you have so much OF
both from nature herself; but unless
you are careful you will have a smoky
atmosphere and a disagreeable odor.
You needn't have either if you choose
to manage properly; the ''no trouble'
people will have it all the time. The
way to avoid it is to keep the burner
perfectly clean, and entirely free from
the gummy burner deposit which even
the best oil will have on the polished
brass burner. Every day the burner
should be washed in hot, clean suds,
thoroughly dried and the wick re-
placed; the little brass network about
the base of the burner should be care
fully wiped and kept free from
every particle of dust. The wick
should be u squarely and
evenly with sharp scissors, and not
even a thread should be left that is
nlRner IMAM Inc resi-. Wnen the DldZe
is extinguished the wick should be
turned down at least half an inch be-
low the edge of the burner. If it is
left above, or even with the top, it will
absorb oil, and the oil will run over
the top, making it greasy and soiled,
and emit an unpleasant odor. The
best quality of oil should be used, as,
after all, it is fully IS economical;
there is less sediment in it, it will burn
to the last drop, will not smoke so
badly and does not leave such a rank
odor. The stove should be filled after
using, and when it is first lighted the
blaze should be watched, because it in
creases in intensity and very soon be-
gins to smoke. 1t can then be regu-
lated and left for some time, especially
if you are baking; if you have water
on boiling, as soon as the water reaches
the boiling point the flame will increase
again and must be turned down. The
reason for this nobody pretends to ex-
plain, but the fact remains.

ONCE Is ENOUGH.
How People Feel About Repeating Their
Lives.

Though most people do their best tc
prolong life, few are in favor of repeat.
ing it. Even with the wisdom acquired
in a lifetime to arm one for the battle
nobody longs to 60 back and try it all
over again. Indeed, those who are
honest admit that they could not do it
that knowing what the ordeal is they
would have no courage to begin it.
Each seems to feel as he nears the end
of the intricate and tiresome journey
that he has been miraculously preserv-
ed; that another time he might not be
so fortunate. The greater his ac-
emulation of wisdom the more certain
he Is of this. Nothing is 80 destructive
to self-conceit than living.
1t is not the disabled, the defeated
and the bafled alone who rejoice that
the business of life is one that can have
no repetition. The successful, the
honored, the envied-those who are
considered victors-entertain the same
feeling. They rejoice that it is not to
be done over again.
No one wants to live his childhood
over again, although that stage of his
existence may have been comparatively
a happy one. Maturity has taught him
that it was inferior; and sad as his
wisdom is, he would not exchange it
for the crude bliss of ignorance.
The middle-aged mar signs perhaps
that his youth has been spent unproft-
ably, but he does not want it back
again.
The patriarch boasts of his days of
strong young monhood, but he would
not 90 back and live them over if he
could. No, he does not wish to live it
over again, not even its happiest hours.
They are all safe in memory, and he
speaks of them with a smile and a sigh,
but he does not ask for them again.
Yet they were full of honor, crowded
with love and crowned with ucces
And the aged woman whose girlhood
was a blaze of belledom, and whose
early womanhood was rich in happi-
ness: Does she sigh to repeat her van
ished yearsp If asked she would say
'Once is enough"
And so everywhere the same refusal
go through 1t all would be heard.
"Once is enough" Who, after read
ing the poets, could return to the
primer and find it endurablep Who
either wishes or needs to learn the
same lesson twiceP Once is enough.

ThurlOw Weeds Faith.

The religious element in MI. Weeds
nature was largely developed. He
made no professions in this direction
he subscribed to no formal articles OF
faith; but he always led a sober, con
scientious, reverential life, and was a
far better christian in thought and deed
than many who are punctilious in mat
tiers he thought irrelevant. One day,
when he was far advanced in life, a
bustling young Baptist brother called
upon him to converse about sin and re-
demption. He alluded to the weather,
the goodness of the Creator in grant
ing various kinds of weather, and
then, after a pause, began: "Mr.
Weed, if you will excuse me, you are
now an old man. You cannot have
many years to live, and 1 have called
to pray with you and talk with you
aboutthe interests of your soul, in view
of the eternal future" Mr.. Weed
smiled upon the juvenile preacher, who
might have been his grandson, and
said: 81 thank you sincerely for the
good intent and kind wishes which no
doubt brought you here. But you
seem TO be laboring under a misappre-
hension. Do you really imagine that a
serious minded man who has lived be-
tween these two worlds for eighty-four
years; who has had the highest joy
and the deepest sorrow; who has been
stricken down in the shadow of death
more than once and came out alive;
who has been bereft of father and
mother, brothers and sisters, wife and
children; who has seen the dear friends

RUNAWAY COUPLE.-An excursion from
Charlottesville to this city Thursday brought
with it looking young man named
VIM A. Greaver, aged about "a years, and
IL handsome young lady of 16, named BERTHE
]. Butler, both from Stauntor. They took
the steamer here for Washington and reach
ed that city about o'clock. They went TO

fifth floor. The groom at once procured

away from his desk in the dead-letter office
to perform the ceremony. About $50 O'Clock

certificate was procured and Tiled out, ana
the Young couple were driven TO the wharf,
taking the o'clock boat for this city,
expecting to reach home at 1l.45 at night.

cipa Of a seminary, objected to the young
man on account Of his employment on the
