Grain Statistics.

The report OF the consumption and
distribution of corn and wheat from
statistical returns from the department
OF agriculture, shows that 37I per cent
of the last crop remains in farmers
hands, against SO per cent on the first
of March, 1884. The supply in farm
ers' hands last March was 512, 600
bushels; the remainder noY is 70, 000,-
900 bushels. The stock in the middle
states is 100000, against 22,00O,00t
last March. In the south the proper
ton is the same as last year. 41.6 per
cent, but the quantity is 145, 000,U00
bushels, against 13S,000.000 bushels.
The proportion in the west is 1861 liz
stead 3O.7, and the quantity amounts
to 400, 100000 bushels, or IA ,000,000
bushels more than the stock last
March. Two years ago the remaining
stock at the same date was 1873, 000,OO
bushels, or 1868 per cent OF a crop of
1,6l7, 100000 bushels. The amount
shipped is few millions less than last
year. Exports equal % 100000 BUSH
els, against 32,O00,OO0 bushels the
same date in 1884, and the commercial
receipts at the western markets are
also less, the dull eastern crop reduc-
ing slightly the demand, notwithstand-
ing the reduction in price. The pro-
portion in merchantable corn is very
large, 81 per cent, against an average
of 81 per cent for a period of years and
60 per cent for the last year. Wheat
reported In farmers hands is about 33
per cent of crop of 69,O00,OOO BUSH
els more than the stock last March,
when the crop was less by 92,00O,000
bushels. There has been slightly
freer use of wheat for bread. and d
little OF the poorer quality has been
fed stock. The stock March l, 1883,
was 2S.5 per cent of previous crop or
143, 100000 bushels; and that OF March
l, 1882, was 9S,000.00O bushels. The
quality is reported above the average
i'll every western state except Illinois,
Missouri and in nearly all the Atlantic
and Gulf coast states.

Why Women Dress.

If women dressed solely to please
men they would spend precious little
| money on their raiment, for $50
would go as far as $3.50 goes now.
No; the truth is that one of the chef
incentives to dress among women is
the desire to create envy in the breast
of her fellow-woman. This passion
varies with women. but few are with
out it. 1t is as naturaGal to the sex
as the borrow of rats or the dread of
horned cattle. 1t furnishes the sweet
est joy in life, and gives the widest
field for ingenuity and originality.
That is the ruling passion in the fe-
male breast when on dress parade,
any observer of the Kearny-street
show on q pleasant afternoon will
readily see in the chances which are
bestowed on striking costumes and
evidences of the breaking of the COM
mandment against covetousness
which abound on every hand. If it
were not for this feeling, woman's
dress would not be the expensive
luxury it is to-day to husbands and
fathers. Remove this desire to out
shine other women and you would
take the rlth out of the whole occupa-
ton of dress. There would be left,
however. the natural desire of any
unspoilcd woman to adorn her person
with pretty things. 1t may be seen
in the little girl who is not yet able to
talk. but who is as much woman in
Der instinct for color and softness OF
fabric as she will ever be. The boy
cares nothing for such things any
more than he does for doll Or a
cradle. But the girl has the dizziness
of hand and the keenness of instinct
for form and color which are hers by
birthrigdt, and which, if found in the
young man, are the result of long
and careful cultivation.-San Fran

Hints on Horse Breeding.

Unhealthy or unsound animals
should never be used.
Ill-tempered animals should never
be used.
Half-bred stations of any breed
should not be used
Avoid breeding in-and-in.
Do not breed from mares and horses,
which having bred, produced bad
colts.
Determine exactly in your own
mind the character of the horse YOU
wish to produce and never lose sight
of it.
Avail of any opportunity that offers
to procure the finest animals and blood
that will suit your purpose.
To breed halt-bred horses, select a
pure bred horse and a big half-bred
mare, the better bred she is the more
valuable she will be.
Select neatly made, large, roomy.
healthy, young, well shaped, sound,
well bred mare with a good temper
and good action, or tried mare that
has been successful.
Select pure bred stallion, compact,
well shaped, sound, healthy, vigorous,
with good temper aud good action.

No Specie Payments i'll France.

The Bank of France nominally keeps
up the fiction that it does not refuse to
pay gold on demand; but whenever
bullion dealers approach it with de-
mand for a large sum, the question is
asked whether it is for remittance to
England or elsewhere abroad. Ii so, a
premium is clapped on just high
enough to prohibit Withdrawals for the
purpose mentioned. Early this
week." says the Pail MAI Gazette, Feb
ruary IL, "when the exchange on Lon
don had risen to 25.371. the Bank of
France asked per mile premium on
gold, which destroyed the profit on its
remittance, and caused those engaged
to buy checks, or short bills on Lon
don instead. After all, this is prac-
tically refusal to sell gold, and what
we get from France is only in driblets,
the full-weighted gold coins in circula-
ton being welded out and exported
from France whenever the exchange
yields profit on the operation"

A Tough TUrkey-Or Story.

G.. S. Brownell & Co, a Chicago
commission firm, received on Thurs
day a consignment OF several barrels
of dressed turkeys. A porter in the
employ of the house was directed to
open Il barrel of the Thanksgiving
birds, and proceeded to do SO. He
knocked IN the head of the barrel,
when he noticed movement among
the deceased poultry. Before he
could notice the cause a large and
plump gobbler stepped out of the
barrel and ran wildly around the
store, seemingly abasheo. at his own
nakedness. The bird actually hadn't
a feather on his body, and looked
very ghost of a Thanksgiving dinner.
For moment the porter was fairly
''paralyzed," but seeing that there
was nothing supernatural in the
event, he pursued Mr.. Gobbler and
put an end to his existence by cutting
off his head. The turkey had been
killed. or it was supposed to have
been killed, in the country and ship
ped when the mercury was serveral
degrees below zero. At this tenn
perature the poultry must have re-
manned exposed for at least thirty
six hours. 1t is supposed that the
man who slaughtered the turkeys
failed to reach Mr.. GobbIer's jugular
vein, AMI he survived the plucking
and the terrible cold, only to meet
his death by the knife of an
assassin. - Chicago Inter Ocean.

American Fables.

A WOodchuck who had. at great La.

Hillside, was resting and congratulate

who said:
"Ah-um Just Fits me I've

"You don't mean to Steal my Home
away?" queried the Woodchuck.
''Might makes Right in this Biz

The Fox took Possession, and the
Woodchuck withdrew, but next morn

fast in a Trap at the mouth of the Den.
Some boys had Baited for Woodchuck

llIuStriOuS EXileS.

Among the exiles who had sought
this far away refuge from Bourbon
persecution were military chieftlans
who had turned the tide of battle on
some of the most sanguinary fields of
European valor, and courtly danes
who had figured in all the luxury and
brilllance of the best days of the en-
pire. Generals who, at the head of
the superb soldiery of France, had
done the bloody work of their imperial
master at Austerlitz, Jena, and Wag-
ram did not hesitate to grasp the AK,
the plow, and the hoe. while brave
hearted women, who had shone con-
spicuously in the brilliant courts of
Josephine and Marie Antoinette, cheer
fully accepted the humble, mental
duties of pioneer houswifery. Con-
spicuOus among the settlers was Count
Charles re-Desnonettes, who had
been major general of cavalry under
Napoleon. He was in the full vigor
of a perfect manhood when he came
to Alabama-an ideal sabreur. Erect
in figure, handsome in feature, and
graceful in bearing, he possessed
magnetism of manner that was ire
sistible in its charm. He had followed
the fortunes of Napoleon from Maren-
20 to Waterloo with zeal and fidelity
that on more than one occasion won
the highest emcomiums from the en-
peror. After the overthrow of the
colossal power of Napoleon. Desnon-
cites was marked for one of the vic
tins of Bourbon hate, and in the
month of May. 1916, he was condemn
ed to death, without trial, by the Sc
cond court-martial of the First military
division; but in the meantime he had
found safe refuge in the United
