A Contemplated Excursion.

Members Of the g. A. r. in this city
are endeavoring to make arrangements
for an excursion over the P, W. & b.
and the N. Y. p. & N. Railroads to Old
Point Comfort, to take place some time

most attractive places on the Atlantic
coast, as in addition to the excellent
bathing, boating and sailing, Fortress

the Crop outlosk. .

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The following crop
report will appear in this weeks Issue OF
the Farmers Review: The prolonged
and serious drouth which has materially
shortened the Spring wheat crop and
caused serious menace to the corn crop
was partially broken this week, copious
rains having fallen In Kansas aud por-
tions of Missouri The injury which corn
has sustained cannot be determined from
the reports. Nearly one-third the coun-
ties of Illinois, Missouri and Kansas re-
port that corn has not been seriously in
jhred, and will make fine yield If rain
should come In time. The remaining
counties report more or less injury. The
outlook lie reported especially gloomy
throughout the entire corn belt for all
late planted corn. One half of the Iowa
counties report thss serious injury has al
ready befallen the eorn-felds, and that
the yield tor the State will fall short of an
average by from 25 to 40 per cent. Toe
corn outlook In Minnesota is more favor
able, with the prospect Of an average
yield with continued rains. In Wisconsin
the tenor of the reports does not indicate &c
exceed two-thirds of an ordinary crop. In
portions of the State there has been no
rain for six weeks and all the crops are 9
bad failure. In Ohio, Indiana and Michi
gan the outlook is sill favorable TO, an
average yield Of corn.
In Fairbault, Bower and Meeker Coun
ties, in Minnesota, the reports indicate 6
better wheat yield than predicted In pre-
vious reports, but the remaining counties
indicate that the total yield for the Stat
will exhibit material shortage. Har.
vesting is progressing rapidly in botl

Cheap Dining Rooms.

1t is remarkable what good and cheap
dinners are served now in first- class
Philadelphia dining parlors at 15 cents
1t is no pinched or skimped dinner
served for that price either. 1t consists
of meat or fish, including three vegeta-
bles, bread and butter, tea, coffee OF
milk. In these parlors or rooms there
Is not perhaps such great display Of
plated silverware, ohinaware, ,napBined
walters, thin soup and ice water, al
may be seen at many first-class
hotels where 75 cents are charged
for dinner but the display of rich roast
beef, baked fish, potatoes, cabbage,
tomatoes, peas, beans, coffee, tea, milk
bread and butter. II anybody wanti
to see the difference let them step intt

Consolation for the Red Headed.

Ex-President Hayes once told me that
he noticed that "the men who had sand
in their hair and beard" were the most
energetic and pushing in life. 1 was told
by an experienced detective the other
day that bunco steerers and that kind of
gamblers known as "sure thing men"
never attempt to play any of their tricks
on red-headed men. I asked why, and
be said: "As a rule red-headed people
are very quick and choleric by nature.
Their tempers are so peppery that they
tly up like flash of powder the instant
they feel aggrieved or wronged. They
are 80 Quick to act that the moment they
feel that they have been swindled they
either fight those who have duped them
or call in the police on them. To be sue
cessful, bunco men and the others l have
mentioned must avoid publicity and no.
toriety as much as possible: They do
not want attention called either to them
or their methods. Knowing from ex-
perience the dangerous temper OF the
,boys with auburn hair they avoid all
unfair dealings with them as far as pos
sible. Whenever you hear of red
headed man being approached by any
fellow with swindling scheme, you may
depend on the tr:ckster being new at his
business" There is some compensation
in carrotty hair and beard after ALL

A Horse Killed by Bees.

Mr.. Friedcmann Grenier, of White
Post, Va, writes to the Bee Journal:
SIN my experience with bees the kill
ing Of any animal by stings had not come
under my observation. But recently I
witnessed a cases which dispensed with
all my doubt about the possibility of
the thing. J. V. Weir, Esq, left his
riding horse by the gate of his door yard,
as usual, while he went to dinner. An
apiary of forty-fye colonies was within
three rods of the spot where the horse
WIS tied, and the bees in great numbers
attacked it in our absence of not over
twelve minutes. When we discovered
the state oil affairs the horses head was
almost covered with mad bees and
swarms of them around it, which would
sting everything and everybody any
where near. I could not induce the ami
NAL to move at first, and to protect it 1
covered it with blankets; and after
awhile, and after procuring more help, I
succeeded in getting it out Of the reach of
bees and we then applied remedies, as
washing with cold water and soda, then
besmearing with linsecd oil; internally
we gave whisky with laudanum, lut oil
efforts were in vain, and the poor ami
NAL, after struggle OF three hours, died. "

Wonderful Skill in Juggling.

NJ. Robert Houdin, in his delightful
autobiography, tells US that when he had
determined to become conjurer he be-
gan by learning to iuggle, as a prelimi-
nary training for his eye and his hand.
He was instructed in the art by "pedi-
cure" named Maous, who taught him in
month to keep four balls in the airat the
same time. Then the future master of
magic, desiring to acquire the faculty of
doing two thing at once-a faculty of in
estimablc value to the modern magician
improved on his teachers instructions
by training himself to read while Jug
Cling. Il placed book before me," he
records, "and while my four balls were
dancing in the air I accustomed myself
to read it without hesitation" Thirty
years later, when he sat down to write
his memoirs, he found that, although he
had never performed this feat in public,
and very rarely had repeated it in private,
he was still able to read while juggling,
but that he could then only keep three
balls in the air, and not four, as he had
done. formerly. This is additional evi-
dence, were any needed, that although a
dexterity acquired early in life may di-
minish with the advancing years and an
abandonment of constant practice, it is
rarely lost altogether. Saturday ReOiew.

A Monster Safe.

There is about to be erected in the
premises of the National Bank of Scot.
land, St. Andrew Square, Edinburgh,
the largest steel strong-room or safe ever
manufactured. It's external dimensiona
are fifty feet long by twelve feet broad
and ten feet high, and careful compu-
tation shows that within it might be
stored about 1,25O tons weight of gold
bullion, equal in value to $3.50, 900, 900.
1t is heavy in 70. ortion to its. size,
weighing 100 tons. Its. walls are be-
lieved to be til ckcr than those of any
other steel room of similar proportion in
use in the United Kingdom. With the
view of insuring gr, alter security than
has hitherto been obtainad, its walls ara
composed of triple series of plates,
similar to those which the firm have for
many yesrs used in the manufacture OF
bankers safes. These plates are so tough
ened and hardened a; to be practically
impervious alike to the force of blows,
leverage and cutting by drills. This
"compounding of the plates" as it IS
termed, involved an enormous amount OF
drilling, no fewer than 900 holes being
pierced in each e tion. Admission to
the interior of this strong room is OBJ
taincd by means of three massive doors,
each seven inches thick and weighing
ton and half, bat on the hardened steel
pins on which they a:e hung they swing
with the greatest of case. Apart from the
great thickness of compounded hard and
mild steel plates in these doors, the prln-
cipal feature they present is the patent
diagonal bolt. These bolts, OF which
there are twenty in each door, shoot cut
from the edge of tie door at opposing
angles of forty-fvc degrees, and thus
powerfully dovetail the door into the
frame at either side. Thus any attempted
wedging between the door and its frame
simply tends to bind these bolts tighter
into their holes.

SHAVING.

The earliest reference to shaving is
found in Genesis xiii, IA, where we read
that Joseph, on being summoned before
the king, shaved himself. There are
several directions as to shaving in Levitt
Gus, and the practice is alluded to i'll
many other parts of scripture. Egypt il
the only country mentioned in the Bible
where shaving was practiced. In all
other countries such an act would have
been ignomin:ous. Heroclotus mentions
that the Egyptians allowed their boards
to grow when in mourning. So partic-
ular were they as to shaving at other
times, that to have neglected it was a
sub. ect of reproach and ridicule, and
whenever they intended to convey the
idea of man Of low condition and SLOW
emily habits, the artists represented him
with beard. Unlike the Romans of
later age, the Egyptians did not conine
the privilege of shaving to free citizens,
but obi 'ged their slaves to shave both
beard and head. The priests also shaved
the head. Shaving the beard became
customary among the Eomans about SEQ
b. G. According to Pliny.' Scipio Afri-
canus was the first Roman who shaved
daily. In France the custom of shaving
arose when Louis XIII. came to the
throne young and beardless. The Anglo
Saxons wore their boards until, at the
con quest, they were compelled to follow
the example ofthe Normana, who shaved.
From the time of Edward III. to that of
Charlie; I. Boards were universally worn.
In Charles II. s reign the mustachc and
whiskers only were worn, and soon after
this the practice of shaving became gen
eral throughout Europe.
