A COlOred Crank

One of those cranks VIII ose fanatics m
is the result of ignorance, and who make
themselves ridiculous nuisance in
every community they enter, came in
over the Rock Island road from some
point in prohibitioudom the other night.
He was great ugly looking shiny
skinned African, who believing himself
endowed with the grace of the HOLY
Spirit, made it his duty to 90 from coach
to coach preaching that he had mes
sage from on high that the day of judg,
ment was close at hand, and that be-
tween this and 1892 the earth and all life
upon il would be destroyed as at the time
Of the food, and that all such as should
not by that time repent of their sins
would perish. for the Almighty would
Himself visit the earth in person and de,
stroy a i sinners. AT tevery station where
the ira stopped the dark skinned crank
descended to the platform and repeated
his warning to the swe-stricken natives.
His harrangue became monotonous fin
ally and prayerful wish went up that he
had been left at Des Moines where he had
left the train long enough to communi-
cate to Gov. Lsrrabee his congratulations
on the success of prohibition in Iowa.

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was
white as snow, it strayed away one
summer day, where lambs should never
go. Then Mary sat her down and tears
streamed from her pretty eyes; she never

vertise. And mary had brother John,
who kept village store, and he sat
down and smoked his pipe, and watched
the open door. And all the people
passed along but did not stop to buy,
while John sat down and smoked his
pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. And so
the sheriff closed him out; but still he
fingered near; and Mary came to drop
with him sympathetic tear. How is

ILLINOIS CORN CROP
The State Board of Agriculture Un-
able TO Estimate the Damage Done

The State Board of Agriculture I'm :
able to Estimate the Damage Done
by Rain.
The reports to the Illinois State Board
OF Agriculture, on which the area de-
voted to corn this season and the June
u condition of the growing plant are
based, have been received from all the
counties of the state, with the exception
OF Grlndy and Hardin. In making the
corn estimate, it is thought best to di-
vide the state into three divisions. For
convenience, the three grand divisions
OudiciaD are taken as the geographical
division of the state for this report. II
IS impossible at this time to estimate the
damage done to the corn crop by con-
tindous rains during the past six weeks,
and The overfiowing of thousands of
acres of river bottom lands in the CEN
tral and southern portions of the state,
hence this report will treat only of the
area planted and the condition of the
crop ON June 21.
In the northern division the area
planted to corn is estimated at 2, $50, 600
acres, which is only a shade less than the
corn area of last season in this division,
as returned by the assessors. The early
spring was favorable for planting. and
corn made its first appearance above
ground much earlier than usual. There
has been too much rain during June, to
date, for the proper cultivation of the
crop, and its condition is considerably
below an average for this date.
In the central division the corn area is
a ha laet txvhn ha
assessors returned an area of 900, 1858
acres. In this division, up to the first of
June. the condition was better than
usual for that date. The plant had
a good, healthy color, was gro wing
rapidly and the ground was free
from weeds, when the recent ex-
cessive rains set in and very materially
changed the condition; suspending the
further cultivation and inundation
thousands of acres in the bottom lands
of the Mississippi, Illinois and Sangamon
rivers, where the larger portions of the
bottom lands in cultivation lie, destroying
many thousands of acres.
In the the southern division the area
devoted to corn this season is estimated
at about l, 100. 240 acres. a slight increase
over the area of 1888. Like the central
division of the state, this section has
suffered from the heavy rainfall all along
the Mississippi, Wabash. Embarrass and
Okaw rivers, where immense fields of
corn have been entirely destroyed. An
of the damage cannot be made
this time. The corn on lands not SUBJ
Ject to overflow is in nearly an average
for June 20, and bids fair to
make a good crop.

The Gaelic Singer.

Gaelic songs of which the people
are so fond, and which they sing so
admirably, are no less remarkable for
their freedom from the slightest faint
of impurity or indelicacy than for their
native vigor and simplicity, whatever
the theme. When we assert that they
are always we'll sung, the reader will
probably wonder how this should be
possible when we at the same time to
make the admission that even the most
delightful singers are as rule utterly
destitute OF any scientific knowledge
of music. OF musical rules and musi-
cal terms they know nothing. Song is
with them as with the wild birds of
their native woods and wilds, an in
stinct, an inspiration; and it is simply
the fact, strange as it may seem, that
the native singer who knows not note
OF music from the scientific standpoint
will render Gaelic air more unsteady
and better in every way than the most
accomplished musician you can per-
suade to attempt it. The philosophy
and motif of Gaelic song, grave or
gay, are SO closely intertwisted, SO in
timately blended with the melody that
only a native singer can give them full
musical utterance; and better, para
doxicai a.; it may seem. when he is
totally Ignorant Of music as written
and taught than when he has had any
amount you please OF scientific
training, -si0od Words.
