THE CROPS.
November Returns TO the Department.
of Agriculture.

The November crop report of the depart
ment of agriculture says: The present crop
of corn is the first full average in rate of
yield since 1850, which was the last of n series
of six full crops of twenty-six to twenty
eight bushels per acre. The present crop,
grown ON an area of fifty three to titty-four
million acres, is slightly above an average
for period of ten years, or twenty-siN and
a quarter bushels per acre The highest rate
of yield is thirty-siX and oDe-half bushels In
Nebraska and Ohio. The three corn-grow-
ing States which produce four-tenths OF the
entire crop-lllinois, Iowa and Missouri
each average several bushels per acre less
than in the census year.
The cotton returns of November are local
estimates of yield per acre. They are some-
what higher Than those of the last two years,
but materially lower than those of 1850 and
1882. The increase over the yield OF last
year is most marked in Texas and Georgia.
The potato crop is smaller than that OF
1854, in consequence OF injury from rot.
The reported yield of hay per acre averages
one and a quarter tons, and indicates crop
of over 100000 tons, nearly as large as
that of last year.
The buckwheat crop will he large. The
average yield will exceed fourteen bushels

FIGHTING IN BULGARIA.
The Entire Scryian Army 1ntcrs BUl-
Earian IerrItOrY.

King Milan has informed the European
powers that Servia has declared war against
Bulgaria because Bulgaria arbitrarily at
tackled position which the Morava division
OF the kings troops held in
Servian territory opposite the Bull
garian frontier. King Milan has
also issued a proclamation, in which
he says that Servia cannot allow Bulgaria,
which has already proved hard neighbor
to disturb the balance Of power in the Bal
kans to her exclusive advantage. He then
refers to what he calls the unjustfable Bull
garian customs duties on the from
tier, the unlawful seizure Of BregOva,
and the encoura cement by Bulgaria
of the Servian rebels condemned for high
treason. King Milan also refers to ALLEGED
ill-treatment of SerYian emigrants i'll Bull
garia, the Blockade of the frontier by Bull
CARA, and alleged attacks by undisciplinel
Bulgarian volunteers on the Servian people
and troops.
Prince Alexander, of Bulgaria, in an order
OF the day to the O Ii ;srs an m N OF his army
says: king Milan has declared war against
US, and has ordered the Scrvian army to in
wade Bulgaria. Our Servian brethren, in
stea of assisting us, wish ID ruin our coun-
try. Show your courage now, and defend,
your mothers, wives, sisters and homes. FUR
sue and annihilate the cowarily, treacherous
enemy Let Forward be your battle cry,
brethren, and may God aid us and grant US
victory
Servia has an army of 10, 900 officers and
men, with AS guns. The Bulgarian forces
consist of Co., 600 men, and the Eastern Rou-
meian army comprises "a, 900 troops
In several preliminary skirmishes the Bull
garians were worsted In one of these fights
the Bulgarians lost thirty-four killed and
wounded
Russian newspapers, both official and UNI
official, unite in condemnng the fratricidal
Servo Bulgarian war, and declare that Rus
STA will be unable to sit quietly while Bull
garia and Servia tear each other to pieces.

POISONOUS WALL PAPER.

Effects Of the Use Of ArsenScal Cslofs In
- Paper Hangings.
The question of the poisonous effects
produced by the use of arsenic in wall
paper has come before the public Of
late frequently. During the past week
Investigation by the Health Board has
proved that arsenic is used in the man.
ufacture Of wall paper in large enough
quantities to produce disease
The Medical Record of recent dsse,
commenting on the use of arsenic. sage:
From inquiry we have made there csA
be no doubt that. with ono exception,
all grades Of colored wall papers manu-
factured in the United States contain
more or less arsenic. This practice of
introducing poisonous substance into
. covering for walls is the more repre-
hensible from the fact of its being TO-
tally unnecessary. One firm in London,
England, and one in New York produce
wall papers having the most varied and
brilliant coloring, which havs not even
trace Of arsenic in their composition.
and there appears to be no reason for
other manufacturers using poisonous
colors, except that by doing so they
make q higher profit on their manu-
factures. Arsenical colors are strong,
and about half the price of non-axseni-
cal colors, and herein lies the secret of
their persistent use by Wallpaper man
ufacturers; and it appears to us that
the action of the Legislature h called
for to put stop to the prnctica The
public appear under the impression that
arsenical poisoning from wall papers is
dine to, portions Of arsenic p. kowder
being busted of the walls, Such,is not
the case; the chief danger lies in the
fact that in damp weather the arsenic
undergoes decomposition, and forms,
in combination with other substances
present, arseniuretted hydrogen, which
diffuses in the room, and, beng dead
ly poison. causes sickness to the IN
mates This form of arsenical poison
ing is more to be dreaded than that
from the particles removed by attri-
ton; tke latter, however, being also .
source of danger to health"
Chemistry affords ready test as to
the presence of arsenic. Place the
suspected green material in q solution
Of ammonia (a4na dmpaoni0). The
chemica substance that produces the
green tint is arsenite Of copper. and the
liquid will acquire blue tint from the
disengagement Of the sxide of copper
from its combination with the arsenic.
If further test be desired., q fey drops
of the colored ammoniacal solution
poured upon crystals of nitrate Of silver
viii leave on the crystals deposit of
yellow arsenite of silver This is
simple test, that can be applied to any
material suspected of containing ar
