Examining Photograph Albums.

A dangerous thing to do unless you give your full mind to it, it is to examine the photographic album of person you don know very well when that person is at your elbow.
 Recently young man of my ac- quaintance found himself at a loss to carry on q conversation with his host ess. who is a young married woman. and he himself had the daring to take up a photograph album and commence to turn the pages. says q writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch. His hostess sat near enough to see the photographs. and naturally enough she made drumming comment on them. explaining who they were.
 If the young man had kept his mind as we'll as his eyes riyeted oh the book there would have been no trouble. But his attention ran off at the beck of some recollection, and he turned over leaf after leaf mechan- icaIY. Presently he came to the picture of q pretty girl, and he ven- tured. half absent-mindedly. half In- tending to pay a compliment:

He guessed he 'd put his foos in it. and took care to make no re- marks till the album was closed again

AGRICULTURAL.
prodncts of 1888 vs. 1887.

X statement for the value of ceLeai crops for I-s3 and 1887 has recently unpublished. Accepting the record of farm prices as a-certalned and re- ported by the Department of Agrl- culture. it appears that the value Of cereal crops If 1888 in the return to producers is greater by about sl0o, 000 OoG than for the year 1887. The immense hay crop of ISsS must have added very much to this favorable comparison of the two years. The best information now obtainable as to the cotton and sugar crops sug- gest favorable comparison with 1887 in actual value of products. The large yield of vegetables and fruit. and what is known of the wool chp, involves no diminution of this excess If values of last year 5 products over those of the year be- fore. Meat production can not be accurately estimated but in this also the comparison of the two years IS apparently favorable to 1888.
 In vpeaIdng of this subject the Bulletin says that the data are now at hand for an extension of this in- teresting comparison of the value of agrlcultural and farm products to the products of the mines. Mr Nalen- tine has published his annual esti- mates of production of the precious metals the United States Geological Suryey has issued some of its pre- iminary statements: the Iron and Steel Association and the metal and coal trade journals have published their calculations of values at the mines of the principal classes of min eraI products. These figures, although not accurate enough for exact comparison. justify the belief that the value of the years produc- ton of coal and iron, gold and silver, lead, copper and zine has exceeded by S2o.00o. .Oeo the unprecedented aggregate of the year 1887. To the immense production of agricultural products. therefore, must be added an aggregate mineral production decidedly greater in value than dur tlng any previous year.
