was 1t the White Houss once during the
Hayes Administration when 8 delegation
was announced, 1t was . horticultural con-

President Hayes asked Gen. Sheridan so ac-
company him to the reception-rooIn, where
they engaged the ruralisfs il conversation.
most Of them thinking that it was P, Ii.
Sheridan to whom they were talking. Gen.
Sheridan finally became reticent, and the
PRESIDENT sought to engage aim in further
talk. The conversation between theta ran
about like this:
Hayes-General. have you much fruit in
louisiana
Sherid2n-Oh, yes. We have oranges, and
aprleots, and grapes in profusion.
hayes-Do you nays any of she hardy
Norrhera fruits-appies and pearsg
Sheridan-There are few apples raised
along the northern boundary OF the State.
Hayes-Do you ever raise pearsg
Sheridan-Always if we have three of a

able TO hold IN, began TO snieker, and in less
gufawing. The President himself laughed
with the rest.

LEPR0SY.

II is calculated that in India alone
there are 100, 900 lepers, with very
few asylums for refuge, and hardly
any recognized medical aid. In
Madagascar, throughout. Africa, in
Greece, along the Italian coast, in
Spain and Portugal, and rs far as
Norway, the same hideous scourge
prevails. The general feeling amongst
expert Investigators is that, like n
good many other scollrges, lcprosy
is either TO great extent caused or
intensified by food conditions and
insanitary habits and customs. The
writer in the Nineteenth Century
remarks that, though the disease has
beenprevalent from the earliest days,
no certain cure has yet been dis
covered for it, and with men Of
science its communicable character
is still an open question, or whether
it is contagious or hereditary, due
to insufficient, bad food, climate or
dirt, to lack of meat, absence of
VEGETABLE diet, to use of salt-lish
food, or ito want of salt. 1t once
desolated Europe, but now, except
in isolated districts, is unknown

The Farmers Review, <published at
Chicago, a recognized authority on
agricultural static,ics, in its issue Of
July IA says.
Since oHr last crop report the winter
wheat harvest has SO far progressed as to
remove. any doubt Of the outcome of this
crop. Few recent reports show any
improvement, and many show still
further depreciation from former reports.
The harvest in Tennessee and Kentucky
is a practical failure. Much damage
has been done to the crops during harvest
in Kansas and Missouri by heavy rains.
Reports from the haryests in Southern
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois fully con-
firm previous estimates OF the poor
condition in those sections Michigan
alone of all the winter wheat states will
harvest full crop. Our previous
estimates Of the shortage Of the winter
wheat crop are being fully confirmed by
the harvest reports Row coming: AS to
the spring wheat crop, it is now
approaching lis most critical stage. The
area is somewhat less than last year, and
while giving unusual promise in some
sections, it is reported thin and weedy in
others. With favorable sweather until
harvested, it will make good crop, but
will not, as we think, come up TO
estimates made by some parties. We see
no reason to change our estimate of
June, that the total wheat crop Of the
year will not exceed $50, 900 bushels.
She corn crop is holding its own well,
and promises a full average crop. Oats
promise, owing to the increased acreage
and fairly good condition, the largest
crop ever harvested in this country, and
the hay crop will not fall short of the
average.
