There was q strange scene In an ONCE In Central
Music Hall one afternoon last week. Near the
door stood richly dressed lady with an expression
Of disappointment on her face and pug dog in
her arms The dogs face also wore an expression
of disappointment; he was timld and chilly as well,
and did not seem to feel well. few feet away
was another woman, with her hands uplifted,
crime, simply-impossible altitude. The poor dog
looked appealingiy into the first wOmans eyes
and the eyes OF the first woman were turned en-
treatingly toward the cold, fr0wning face OF the
second woman. There was no SCREENING, no yield
ing, no mercy there, and 50 the first woman had
furs wipe away tear and go out into the cold
State street. AZ never heard or such a thing
never heard Of such thing" exclaimed the re-
manning woman pettishly. ut Is an insult, that's
what It Ia. With my Christian science have
healed old and young, even little children. but
this Is the first time was ever called upon TO heal
a sick dog with metaphysics II Is positively IN
sulttng."

bushels, the yield having been estimated at
1874 600 600 bushels on an area Of about
23JO,O00 acres, or the smallest yield per
acre since 1881. The cause Of the decline
was the long-prevailing drought in the
West and the amount Of rain in some Of the
Eastern States that caused rottipg before
maturity.
