EASTERN CORN CROP
REPORTED TO BE BETTER THAN
 WAS EXPECTED.
Michigan, Wisconsin Minnesota and Da- kota Have a Favorable Season-Kan- sas and Nebraska Show a Shortage.

CHICAGO, October 22.-The Farmers Review will say this week that a care ful examination of estimates furnished by correspondents reveals the fact that the corn crop is turning out somewhat better than was expected.
 The crop in Michigan and Wisconsin is larger than last year and in Minne- sota and Dakota it is almost as large. Other States, especially Kansas and Nebraska, show a considerable short age. In several counties in Kansas and Nebraska. corn is nearly total failure.
 The Review gives an estimate on the production of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and Dakota, and says that, after de- ducting from the gross product large percentage of unmerchantable corn, it's estimate of the total market, in the States named, is S25, 1925, ,253 bushels.
 The condition of the crop in the re- maining States, not covered by the re- port, is estimated at about S5 per cent of the average.

THE MARKETS.

NEW YORK, October 22.-The stock market today was somewhat of q surprise on account of the ease with which prices were lifted on light purchases. Great liquidation in Wall street gas has driven stocks from the brokers offices and into the hands of strong parties making a scarcity of long stocks in the street. Sugar ie- fineries were especially weak throughout the day and strength in the general list was not sufficient to hold up. In the last hour gen eral reaction from the best prices of the day was induced by realizations upon advances Final changes, however, were almost invariably ad- yances for small fractions, but sugar is of 1A.

"He's going to have house fine enough

"He's going to have house fine enough
for Queen Victory" said old Farmer
Gerrish to his family, one evening.

such a high-and-mighty gentleman to

He was not. however. too good nor toe

to neighbor, as a pleasant-faced, full
bearded man stepped from the train.

Eyes, but he's probably got an old
head, " replied Mr.. Gerrish. ''He's full
of snap and-Hey?"
He stopped short and stood in open
mouthed wonder at the trim-looking
young man of twenty-seven or eight
who came briskly forward, holding out
his hand and saying:
Glow do you do, Mr.. Gerrish? Donh
you remember me? And here's Uncle
Tommy Simpson and Nate Wardner, and
1 think this is Frank Woodson, and I'm
sure this is my old friend, Mr.. Mallon,

''And who in creation are you?" asked
Mr.. Gerrish, peering sharply at the
young man over his green spectacles.

''To think of Hi Curry turning out like

QUEER ANIMALS.
New Zealand Mammals That Are Docld-

New Zealand Mammals That Are Docid-
edIy Peculiar In Their Habits.
1t is strange fact in regard to New
Zealand that the country is almost en-
tirely lacking in indigenous animals.
The only mammals it possessed, before
the arrival of Captain Cook, In 1853, says
the author or s'New Zealand after Fifty
Years." were the kiore-a little, dark
brown rat-and two very small bats.
The kiore is now rare and very shy
animal, but there are times when II
makes its appearance in vast numbers

ing nobody knows whittier.
Three or four years ago such vista
ton of rats occurred on the west coast Of
one Of the islands; countless swarm Of
these little creatures travelled along the
shore, for distance of one hundred and
fifty miles, all going one way, and all
moving as fast as they could. Many Of
them died Of hunger by the way, and
they were all exposed to terrible attacks
from rat larger and stronger than
themselves.
After passing, in ceaseless process

the rats vanished as suddenly as they
had appeared, and to this day no one
has been able to offer even plausible
theory in regard to their migration.
Another New Zealand animal which Is
somewhat peculiar in its habits is the
tuGrara, a lizard which grows from SIX
inches to a foot in length
This creature is the very embodiment
of a negative existence. It is usually
found clinging motion1ess to rock, per.
fectly regardless Of driving spray o.
binding sun. It wants neither food nor
drink, but is perfectly content to be
kept in a glass case for months or even
years, and is very slightly affected BY
the want or art.
It makes no noise, and moves SC
seldom and so slowly that many persons
have watched those confined in a glass
case for long period, and then left
them, under the impression that the
creatures were only stuffed specimens
after all. Yet the solemn blinking Of
the golden eyes, and the slow paipita-
ton of their leatheTy sides, bear slight
witness to their sluggish Vitality

ATTACKING A TIGER.
A FoOlhardy Soldiers Experience with an
Enraged Man-Eater.

FoOlhardy Soldiers Experience With an
Enraged Man-Eater.
Russian hunters are said to look upon
, combat single-handed with bear as
only an ordinary experience, 1t is
doubtful, however, if many instances Of
a man attacking tiger, armed with
sword only, can be youched for, but
Colonel Seaton relates the following:
One morning, just as we were leaving
the parade ground, man came rushing
up breathless, looking as scared as ii
his life were in danger.
"Get your guns, men," he exclaimed
in terror, there is tiger in the hollow
by the fakeer's hut, and no one dares
go by!"
This was an intimation not to be
sighted, so in all haste we got our guns
and two elephants, and hurried to the
spot, where, in truth, terrible scene
presented itself. The tiger, bleeding
from cut in the head, was on the edge
of the hollow, growing fercely, with.a
man mangled, and apparently dead, ly-
ing beneath his paws. The unfortunate
man was the fakeer's son, fine swords
man and first rate wrestler, one of the
champions Of his regiment. He had
come home only that morning.
The people who went to draw water
at the we'll had disturbed the tiger,
and on his rising they had fled in
terror. The brave but rash soldier,
who happened to be near at the moment,
on learning the cause of the commotion,
Immediately advanced to attack the
tiger, and with his sword gave him a
tremendous cut over the head, which,
however, did not materially injure the
powerful brute. The tiger rushed at
the man, stripped the arm down to the
elbow, and, dashing him to The ground,
held him beneath his paws
When we came up we were at frss
at a loss how to act. for the man was as
much exposed to our ffe as the tiger.
However, it was not a tilne for length
ened consideration-we fred, and a
lucky shot finished the aEaxnal Youths

)he of the Most Singular Cases of Poison
ing Ever Recorded.
Rarely, it may be thought, has more
singular case of accidental death been
recorded than that which recently threw
a mueh-esteemed family residing in the
environs of St. Petersburg into mourn
ing. A young lady in perfect health,
and with the brightest of futures before
her, was among the guests invited to a
ball, and, her toilet completed, she drew
on pair of long gloves, reaching above
the elbows. Scarcely half an hour after
wards she felt considerable irritation
and pain in her arms and hands, to
which, however, for the moment-taken
up with pleasures of the evening-she
paid but littl e attention. On returning
home her suffering increased, and the
following day her hands and arms be-
came covered with sores, which were at
tributed by the doctor called in to blood
poisoning. A week later the poor girl
died, after severe suffering, and despite
the efforts made to save her. The fatal
gloves have been handed over for analy-
sis, the conjecture being that the ami
NAL with the skin of which they were
made was in some way or other diseased,
and that the skin used had been impev-
fectly cleansed. In any case, if this con-
lecture prove correct, measures will
doubtless be taken to ascertain, if possi-
sible, whether other gloves, similarly
contaminated, are on sale.-London

Tho Mild winter.

From tho Toledo Blade.
Ii Is we'll known that the sun-spots
appear TO increase and decrease IN an
eleven-yesr cycle; that is, the spots IN
crease in frequency and size for be-
tween five and six years, and then
diminish, reaching a minim1m IN some
FIVE or SIX years more. Another fve
or SIX years again brings the maximum.
However, the intervals between mini
mum and MAXIMUM are somewhat II
regular, and further observations are
necessary before We can tix with GER
tainty the periodicity of this phenome-
non.
We are now at CT near the period of
solar calm and fewest spots. Prof. Tao
chlni, the great Italian astronomer, has
Just sent paper 70 the Paris Academy
in which he details his observations
from the middle of last year TO the end
of January, showing that very few
spots or facule have appeared on our
luminary's disc WITHIN that time,
whence ne deduces this conclusion:
''The state of grand calm IN which the
sun has continued since the month of
August, iusufes us in considering that
We are In the period of the veritable
minimum"
The tentative theory has been fire.

solar calm is synchronous with ahnor-
