The Legend of the Tin soldier-The Limbs
of Lost Toys-A Good Old Christian Gus.
fom--The Playrhings OF the reor.
Hans Christian Andersen tells us that when
his little tin soldier, who loved that airy. fairy
ballerina (who was only cut out of paper) was
tossed into the fire by careless boy he slowly
melted, and melted, and melted away until
nothing was left of him but q scrap of metal
which the housemaid swept away next morning
molten into the form of tiny heart. Not all
the broken toys that annually go-where
do they go, one would like to know?
can boast Of having made such ro-
mantle end as that. Nevertheless. they have
all an interest and a pathos Of their
own, not only on account of their nature and
life-history, but also by reason Of the mystery
which invariably surrounds their ultimate des-
tiny. For, as we asked before, where do they
go? The Passing of Arthur himself is not
more mysterious than the Passing of Punchi-
nello when his cap is of. his bells brUken, his
hnery stripped from his wooden carcass, and
his very spinal currat4re-his pride and boast
has been fiattened by the Bullets of outrageous
fortune into the semblance of an orthopadic
backbone. The admirable scene painter who
executed the brilliant "Hall of Toys" in the
last pantomime at Old Drury might, had he
been given the chance, have painted pendant
to tnat pretty picture. and called 1t the Liinto
of Lost Toys. The travellers to that bourne
from which no traveller returns Except occa-
sionally as a special favor to the Society for
Psychical Research) are not more mysterious
in their booking arrangements than are the in.
habiUants of the toy box. What becomes Of
our old playthings? They are as lost to us as
most of our old playfellows The latter one
does meet sometimes in after years. The little
puny boy, one who used to fag in such lorllly
style at school, turns up occasionally In after
years, strapping fellow, full OF strange
oaths and bearded like the pard. a good six
inches taller than oneself, and often bril-
liantly successful man when his senior has long
the elderNtrurnps in the game Of life.

Where Do They GOs

But our toys return no more. Does any cynic
assert that it does not matter? If SO. he is as
stupid In this connection, as cynics habltually
are. If, instead of gradually disappearing
nobody knows-as we outgrow each Of them In
succession, our own toys, our very own, would
only reappear when we are well on the way to
second childhood, 1t is more than possible that
they would bring us back something of our own
childhood, besides themselves, along with
them. The unsuccessful General, the naval
officer who has managed TO sink an ironclad
and half million Of public money with 1t, the
unsuccessful gentleman farmer, would possi-
bly, find surcease of unpleasant recollectiuns if
they could only drill their old lead soldiers. or
sail their old toy boats, or arrange the Swiss
farmyard with the impossible trees, and the
little wooden pens full of sheep grazing con-
tentedly on the pasture Of the nursery floor.
And there must be many wife and mother who
would not refuse to be comforted for some of
the cruellest of the disilusions of life ii she
could only clasp Dolly to her heart once more,
as she used to do. and pour her troubles into
the sympathetic ear of that faithful companion
ana friend.
the Limbo of Lost Toys. Where can that be?
There are many mysterious disappearances in
lille besides those which the metropolitan police
magistrates refer to 1.-THE usual courtesy of the
Press to give them publicity. 1t has been
confidently asserted that no man has ever seen
dead donkey. The deathbed of wild birds is
usually mystery even to those who most
closely watch their habits. Most mysterious of
all mysterious disappearances Except that OF
pins) is that Of elephants, for It Is a common
place observation among hunters of big game
that it is only very rarely that the sportsman
beholds the bleached bones of the mighty beast.
which could not after all well escape being
seen if one came in their way. But where is
the Avilion of our broken toys? The dust con-
tractors men could. and if they would, proba-
bly, throw some light upon the subject; but
dustmen are not, as a rule. given to the publ
cation of fanciful reflections in connection with
their calling.
Besides, not every discarded toy Is reckoned
to have sunk so low as to be submitted to the
supreme indignity of the dustbIn. Sometimes
they find their way into the wards of childrens
hospitals, and certainly the last state of such
is better than the first, for they comfort the
weary hours Of the suffering little ones, who
never before had any better nursery than the
gutter or the railway arch, or any paything
save an oyster shell or cabbage stalk. In some
countries, notably in France, they often place
dead ehild's fsvorite toys upon the little
grave, which Is, indeed. good old Christian
custom. If we may believe the silent testimony
of the eataeombs, where the toys of forgotten
children in old Rome have been found in num-
hers. Specimens even of the toys of ancient
Egypt may be seen, gathered from similar
sources, In some Of the museums Of Europe.

Monthly Crop Report.

For the Michigan crop report for August,
returns have been received from 1896 cor
respondents, representing go townships.
The average yield of wheat per acre as es-
timated is 1881 bushels in the southern
counties, 1910 in the central and 1872 in
the northern counties. These figures repre-
sent the average of the estimates of all cor
respondents reporting from each section,
and are mainly based on examinations
made when harvesting and stacking.
In addition to the above, 2S2 correspond.
ents In the southern counties and Is in the
central have furnished reports of 500 jobs
OF actual threshing which showed an aver
age of II bushels to the acre in the southern
and 16 bushels in the central counties. This
average here per acre as obtained from
threshings represents an output of only u
limited number of Jobs, however, while
correspondents have reported what they be-
lieved to be a fair average for the whole of
their respective localities. .che reports as
to quality indicate that the output of mer.
charitable wheat will be much below
threshers' measure.
Oats are estimated to yield 36 bushels
per acre in the southern, 81 in the central
and 80 in the northern counties.
The condition of corn Is lower than for
a number Of years, doubtless owing to the
cold nights.
Potatoes indicate 95 per cent of an aver
age condition.
Meadows and pastures show "a per cent,
clover sowed this year yS per cent and the
yield of hay "a per cent.
Apples promise % per cent Of an average
crop in the southern and 50 per cent in the

IN A FIERY FURNACE.
Three Negroes Initiate the Three He
brew Children, Near Besse-

The most remarkable religious craze pre-
vades the Negroes near Bessemer, Ala,
and the country intermediate between that
rapidly growing place and Birmingham.
For some time past an old Negro, Tobias
jackson, has been proclaiming himself as
Daniel the Prophet, and doing all kinds of
singular, wild and queer things. The Ne
groes in this section are ignorant and
superstitious, and Jackson's actions and
the great powers with which he
claimed to be invested awed them.
Recently he persuaded three young Negro
men that they were representatives of
Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego. He
proclaimed that a furnace where iron Is
melted was the furnace of Nebuchadnez-
Ear, and that they should enter and pass
through without smell Of fire. The three
Negroes deliberately entered the gate of
the cupola of the furnace and rushed head
long before they could be stopped into the
white heat of the melting iron. When
they failed to come out jackson proclaimed
that he saw them rising in the air with the
smoke of the furnace, attended by angels,
and said that they would revisit the earth
again the following Sunday.
The Negroes met at church Sunday and
prayed awaiting the descent OF the three
children of Israel. The mother of one of
them said when asked about the matter

NEWS SUMMARY.
JUDGE TERRY DEAD.
Shot Dead by Deputy United States
Marshal.


Judge ID. S. Terry of California was shot
and killed at Lathrop, Cal, on the l4th
inst. by Deputy United States Marshal
David Maggie. The affair took place in the
railroad dining room at that place. Soon
after the arrival of the morning train,
Judge Stephen j. Field and Deputy United
States Marshal David Maggie entered the
dining room, followed a few minutes later
by Judge Terry and his wife. They were
proceeding To another table when Mrs.
Terry, evidently recognizing Justice Field,
did not SIT down but retired To the train for
some unknown purpose Before she had
reached it, however, and as soon as she had
left the dining room Judge Terry approach
ed Justice Field and STOPPING over him
slapped his face. AT this luncture Deputy
Marshal Maggie arose from his seat and shot
Judge Terry through the heart. AS he
was falling the deputy marshal fired again
but missed him, the bullet going through
the floor. Both shots were fired in very
quick succession. The judge never uttered
u sound after being shot.
Judge Terry has been an Infamous char
acter in California for years, though ac-
knowledged to be one of the foremost law
yers on the coast, and jurist of strength
and business in his earlier days. While
chief justice Of the state in 1899 he had u
misunderstanding with United States Sen
ator David > Frederick. The result was
duel and Frederick received a mortal
wound. This murder brought down on
Terry's head the maledictions of the people
and he was compelled to resign his Judge
ship.
Terry remained in comparative quiet
after this affair until the campaign Of 1875,
when he was named for elector. A howl
of Indignation was raised and his name
was Withdrawn. Another season Of retire
ment from the public gaze followed, but
when the notorious Sarah Althea Hill set
up her claims as the wife of Bonanza
Sharon, Terry appeared as her counsel,
and during the litigation she became his
wife, although young enough TO be his
granddaughter. The judge was especially
bitter in his attacks upon all who ques.
toned the validity Of the Hill woman's
marriage to Sharon and about year ago
outraged all sense Of decency by reviling
Supreme Justice Field during the progress
of one of the many trials that have grown out
Of the Sharon Hill controversy. For this he
was sent to Jail and was but recently re
leased.
Justice Field and Deputy Marshal Nagle
were arrested at Oakland, Cal. The affair
has created the widest in every
city in California.

Oregon Forest Fires.

All of northwestern Oregon seems to be
burning up in forest fires. The smoke has
been so dense in Portland for the last two
or three weeks that for time it was i'm.
possible TO see far up the street and the
sun and moon looked like great balls of fire.
in the harbor the smoke has had the effect
of fog, and steamers have been required to
blow their whistles every few minutes TO
avoid collisions. 1t is estimated that the
total damage by forest fires in the north
west this year will amount 10 nearly $500,
900.
Several farm houses have been burned
with the stables and produce and stores,
with quantities of wheat of this year
crop. Several thousand cords Of wood
have been consumed. The flames swooped
down upon the settlement of Cedar Mills
and left the country barren. The people in
some instances had scarcely time to escape.
They had TO hurry through the woods, the
fire being so thick along the regular road.
An extensive fire is raging in southern
Oregon, south Of Rosebud, and a number
of houses have been burned. A number of
tramps were run out of McLean's settle
ment in southern Oregon the OTHER day,
and taking TO the woods started fire. 1t
was discovered in time and extinguished,
and n posse of men started after the tramps
and captured three. Ropes were put about
their necks and they were strung up for
some time, and then let down and thrashed.
