The report about shortage in the
wheat crop is denied. There may have
been damage to growing grain in some
localities but nothing that need affect
the general result. This is cry sent
on. in advance by spectators to make
ready for an advance in prices. We
are assured that we have wheat enough
and to spare and if anybody attempts
to impose upon us in this matter we
hope they win be snuffed out without
even the benefit of clergy. We have
enough evil to bear in the shape of the
imposition of trusts without the addi-
ton of -four spectators.

DIR. Dorchester has spent two months
in inspecting Indian schools in the far
West. This must have been a paying
job, especially if his wife went with
him as a special clerk at salary of
six dollars day. We suppose the Of
fee is important and must be filed, but
we have inspected some of these schools
unofiicially, and it did not cost the gov
ernment cent. Without boasting at
all we would say that in our opinion
the inspection did the public and the
schools and the government as much
good as the more expensive official one.

Solving n Race Mystery.

German perseverance and scholarship
promise to enlightcn the world concern
ing the history and fate of that mystic
rious race known as the Utilities. With
the exception of few illusions in the
Bible, nothing is known of the Utilities
except what has been learned from AS
syrian cunciform characters and Egyp-
tian hieroglyphics. These stone records,
however, point indisputably to tho fact
that the Hittites were ut one time pow
crful people, for Ramcses ii. did not
disdain to glory in his victory over them
in terms which showed that their subjec-
ton cost him mighty effort. Recently
the Germans have discovered in one of
the mounds i'll n plain near the base of
the Amanus mountains in Asiatic Turkey
dozen slabs of black basalt four feet
high and two feet square, the entire faces
OF which are covered with Hittito bas-
reliefs. In the same mound was found
colossal statue of Sardanapalus, King of
Nincveh, eighth century b. c., the work.
manship of which is very fine. No hier-
oglyphics have yet been found in this
mound, but the scientists at work arc
sanguine that in this or some other mound
they VIII discover something which will
enable them to unravel the meaning of
the Inscriptions on the slab discovered
near Biridjik, i'll the mounds since iden-
tilted MS the site of Carchemish, the capt.
tai of the ancient nation of the Hittites.
The Carchemish slab contains hieroglyphs
which have thus far proved undeciphcra-
bic, us have those on Il slab ON u grave in
the Christian cemetery in the neighbor-
hood of SIarash, i'll Central Turkey. But,
as we have already remarked, German
perseverance will probably find a key to
the mysterious characters. San Francisco

Hy Wings Make MpsIc.

In his book "On the Senses, Instincts
and Intelligences of Animals" Sir John
Lubbock records some of his later OBJ
servatious, among which are these:
The slow tapping of butterfy's wing
produces no sound, but when the move
ments are rapid noise is produced,
which increases in shrillness with tho
number of vibrations. Thus the house.
fly, which produces the sound F, vibrates
its wings 81, 120 times minute, or 1886
times second; and the bee, which makes
sound of A, as many as 26,4O0 times,
or 44O times second On the contrary,
a tired bee huns on E, and therefore, ac-
cording to theory, vibrates its wings
only $50 times in second.
Marcy has succeeded in confirming
these numbers graphically. He fixed
fly SO that the tip of the wing just
touched cylinder, which was moved by
ciockworl. Each stroke of the wing
caused mark, of course very slight, but
still quite perceptible, and thus showed
that there were actually $50 strokes in
second, agreeing almost exactly with the
number inferred from the note pro-
ducnd

Care of tie Eyes.

Shades on lamp or gas burners should
be of milk" or ground glass; never of
colored glass.
NeTer sleep opposite a window which
Will throw rood Of strong light on
your eyes when you wake in the morn
ing.
When bathing the fare do not open
the eye under water, as this Is apt to be
in. urious to the epithelial covering OF
the eye
In all institutions, particularly for
children, where the eyes are required to
do close work, the proportion of the
square surface of the windows to the
square surface of the floor should never
fall below one to four.
The short-sighted eve is essentially
q diseased eye, and should be treated as
such. 1t effects by preference those who
use their eyes constantly for fine or neat
work, and is almost unknown among
the uncivilized nations.
When children work by light which
falls in their faces they are apt to bend
the body forward so as to shade the ewes
by the head, or else twist it around so
that the light shall fall on the page.
Both of these positions are pernicious.
There is great danger of the chest be.
coming narrow and contracted and of
the spine becoming curved.
To battle the eyes properly, take n
large basin of cold water, bend the head
close over it, and with both hands throw
the water with some force on the gently
closed lids. This has something Of the
same effect as shower bath, and has a
toning-up influence which water applied
in any other way has not. -.

gay young father snatched up his
baby boy one morning and tossed him
to the ceiling. Twice the little fellow
went flying through the air and came
down safely into the waiting arms. The
third time the excited child gave n
spring of delight ns his fathers hands
released him; plunged forward, and.
pitching over the fathers shoulder, fell,
head downward, to the floor. When
the poor baby came out of the stupor in
which he lay for hours, it was found
that, although no bones had been
broken, the brain had sustained an in
jury, that would, in all probability,
render the child an imbecile.
Another baby snatched from the floor
and tossed into the air received fatal
wound in the top of the head from the
pointed ornament of chandelier. Still
another child slipped between her
fathers hands rs he caught at her in
her downward flight, and although his
irenzied grasp on the baby's arm saved
her from falling to the ground, it
wrenched muscles and sinews so
cruelty that the girls arm was shrunkcn
and practically useless to her all her life.
These are extreme cases, but the fact OF
their occurring at all should be enough
to warn one from the habit of relin-
gushing ones hold on child when

Music in Medicine.

From the time when medical knowl.
edge was first embodied in use of prac.
tice, and probably from q much earlier
period, music held q recognized place in
the treatment OF disease. In no class of
diseases, however, are we likely to de.
rive so much benefit from the use of 80
pleasant remedy as in those affecting
the mind itself. In melancholia and
allied states of depression its value is
generally admitted in our own day.
Ancient practitioners were also cognizant
of its usefulness in this respect. We
must have oil felt how suitable is its in
finite variety and facility of expression
10 the changing moods of the same, and
it is therefore the less difficult to under.
stand how straying minds are pleased and
settled by its charm. Certain it is that
its beneficial effect is in this case con
siderable, and our readers, though posi-
bly, unable to acquire knowledge of the
art, should ut least possess, and if needful
assert in practice, sense of its thera.
peutic value. -London Lancet,

which he has been accustomed, and is
