THE report Of the state commissioners
Of fisheries for 1887 and 1855 has been ~
sued, rather tardiiy but very hand sornely,
by the state printer. II Is bound volume
ofa hundred pages with score Of excel
lent illustrations OF the state Matching
establishments and OF tho fnny beauties of
Pennsylvania waters. The fish pictures
are drawn with accuracy that will be APP
preciatcd by fishermen as representing the
best known varieties In their true proper
uons, and enabling anyone 10 recognize
fish that may be less known. The name Of
H. G. Demuth, Of Lancaster, appears In the
list of commissioners as secretary OF the
commission. A detailed statement of the
distribution Of young fry from the hatch
cries shows many thousand given away by
the state and II they had all been we'll
cared for afterwards fish might now be
far more plentiful. Anyone can obtain the
fry by application to the commissioners
for the proper blanks TO be filled up and
sent to the nearest hatchery. When parties
have approved applications and accompany
tho fish, the state will furnish cans for
transporting them, which must be imme-
diately returned at the states expense.
The commissioners quantity observe that
no man should go TO sleep while transport
ing fish, also that brook trout put into
mild, still water arc thrown away.

The Condition of the Crops.

WASHINGTON, Aug 9.-There is reduc.
tion in all cereals reported by the statisti-
clan of the department of agriculture. The
decline from the 1st Of July to the 1st of
August is from 93.1 to 1873 in corn; from
OLA to S3.2 in spring wheat; from GIG to
701 in oats; from 1873 to S2.S in barley.
The condition of potatoes is reduced from
9l.7 to IA.
A fall of twenty points indicates the dis
aster which has befallen the corn crop
within thirty days. The cause is the alb
normally high temperature of the central
maize districts with insufficiency of rain
fall, the returns of drought which covers a
broad area, and the severity of the effects
produced are more general and depressing
than the signal service record OF tempera-
ture appears to indicate. One factor in
the blighting of the vegetation is evidently
the hot winds that scorched the lower basin
of the Missouri and Ohio valleys.
The southern division of the counties of
Indiana and Illinois received greater dam
age than the northwest. Iowa and Ne
braska are nearly in the status Of the Ohio
valley while Minnesota and Kansas have
the highest Average of all the states.
There has been a considerable reduction
i'll the condition OF spring wheat, amount
ing to fully eleven points. tits less in Da-
kota than in any other of the spring wheat
districts. The average of condition is so in
Wisconsin, so in Minnesota, 81 in Iowa, 81
in the north and s. in Dakota The latter
is decline of seven points.
Owing to the hot southern winds the oat
crop is certain to be of low and probably
poor quality. Another crop of great i'm
portance-po tatoes-has also been much
damaged by the drought A low rate OF
yield is assured.

Some Feminine Hints.

Don't use loud tones when talking. nor
call men by their last names without the
required prefix. Men may treat you as a
good comrade, but they never marry such
girls.
Don't come down to breakfast with torn
wrapper, slovenly shoes, bangs done up
in curl papers, and back hair in a cracker
knot on top of the head. You will never
see any one better to dress for than those
in the home circle. They are the ones to
be cheered by your sweet wholesome APP
pearance and not strangers.
Don't be ashamed to help mother with
the housework. A practical knowledge of
bread making, cooking, and the general
management Of a house is worth more than
a smattering Of music and painting. To
know how to "setn sponge for bread is an
accomplishment that no girl need to de-
spise The kneading is a grand exercise.
Don't make appointments with gentle
men either at a friends home, in the park,
or at any place but at your fathers house.
Don't marry a drinking man. If the
sweetheart will not give up the drinking
habit, it is very certain the husband will
not
Don't accept promiscuous invitations
1t only cheapens you, and draw YOU into
a circle of acquaintance you may some
time regret having formed. Young women
cannot be too careful about the company
they keep.
In word, girls, try to be true women,
and by so dong you will gain an influence
which, like a sweet pelfame, Will shed its
fragrance upon all with whom you may be
brought in contact

A Remedy for Fat or Lean People.

1t is proverbial that people are never
satisfied This is certainly true of fat and
lean people The fat ones wish to be lean
and the lean ones fat.

rules if you viii TO get rid of excessive
adipose tissue. If too lean simply reverse
the process.
NO morsel of bread, cakes, rolls or
pastry. No tea, coffee, chocolate or sweet
wine. No potatoes, peas, rice, carrots,
turnips, macaroni, cheese, butter, cream
custard, jellies or sweets. Not drop OF
ice water. No warm baths. No flannel
and only enough clothing to keep warm.
No bedroom heat. Not a drop of any

meals day, breakfast at 10 and dinner at
| Z. She had the following bill of fare to
select from: Rare, lean meats, game and
| poultry, soft-bCiled eggs, sea foods, toast,
lettuce, spinach, celery, crosses, fruits.
She drank half a gallon of hot water
every day, with lemon juice in it to take
away the fiattaste. Cold water was denied
| her. and, alas, claret and champagne
| forego the luxury Of bathing in water, in
place of which she had sponge and vapor
baths very frequently. Every few days
she took fast, allowing the system to
consume the adipose tissue. While no
limit was put upon the pleasure of driving
and riding, she was asked to select the
toughest, rockiest roads, and to walk from
five to ten miles each day in the open air.
| The duchess followed these rules for
three years. She now weighs 140 pounds.
She is called one of the handsomest women
in New York. Her eyes are bright, com
plexion perfect, and she enjoys perfect

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The Presidents
Boston trip comes opportunely for his peace
OF mind. For two days, now he has under
gone some of the most vigorous and dis
quoting pulling and hauling that ever
chief executive was subjected to. There
have been some animated conversations In
the White House during the past forty
eight hours, and in that time General Har
r1son has heard some very plain talk. He
has found out that it costs something to
surrender to even so brilliant and power
full a man as Mr.. Blaine. 1t is to be said to
the Presidents credit that his converse
ton when he first returned here showed
that his conversion had been thorough; be
was very emphatic in expressing his re
ciprocity views. But Mr.. Reed is not
easily knocked out, and the result of the
first meeting with the President was
simply to brace up Reed for the second at
| tack. He not only returned to the charge
himself, but took Major Mckinley with
him, and the two of them seem to have
succeeded in rather shaking the Presidents
resolution to send reciprocity message to
| Congress. They have attacked not only Mr..
| Blaine'S arguments and deduction, but
called into question the very statistics upon
which they are based.
| Opinion here as to whether or not he will
send a special reciprocity message to the
Senate is about evenly divided. Mr..
Blaiue's friends in Congress were disap
pointed when. instead of coming here, he
went back to Bar Harbor from Cape May.
| Their idea was that his presence here
would be worth many votes to his recip-
rocity project He was strenuously urged
to come here, and will be urged again, and
some of his friends believe that he will
soon be here. He has been advised of the
pressure that is being brought to bear to
induce the President to throw over the re-
ciprocity project so far as special message
| is concerned, and has been told that it
would be the part of wisdom for him to
come here and, if necessary, meet the
other side in sort of joint debate at the
White House. If the President and Mr..
Blaine meet in Boston, the formers back
bone, it is thought, will be materially
| Stiffened

Putting by Odd Pennies.

A small satsuma jar that stands on the
desk of a busy woman receives the odd
pennies, or what she calls "the unexpected
money!" that is found loose in the pockets
or in bureau drawers. There will never be
enough money in it to found.a hospital, or to
build a home for insane dogs; there is al
ways enough to send a posy to sick
friend, a paper to somebody away off
where reading material is very scarce, or
to buy souvenir to somebody for birth
day surprise. Once started and well man
aged the box is like the Widows cruise
never empty.
Do not count the contents except when
you are taking stock with a view to pur-
chase.
Counting seems to break the spell. Pen
MES are gregarious, and where one goes an
other wants to follow.
Let them form a community on the saw
ings box and just see how they viii gather:
leaves in Vallambrosa will be as nothing
compared with them.
