His voice stopped for ten or twelve
bYeaths, and then he began mumbling a
prayer Of some kind in Greek. The native
woman cried very bitterly. Lastly. he
rose in bed and said, as loudly, as slowly:
mot guilty, my Lord!"
Then he fell back, and the stupor held
him till he died. The native woman ran
into the Serai among the horses, and
screamed and beat her breasts; for she had
loved him.
Perhaps his last sentence in life told what

BABY.

A little form. 30 dainty small,
p, soft, SO tender, and so dear:
A little voice whose helpless call
IL music to q mothers ear:
A little pulse of delicate breath,
Like Ewes when Zephyr whispereth.
A little arm that nerveless lies:
Red, curling fingers, tiniest things:
Two round, blue, upward-gazing eyes,
All filed with silent w0nderings,
That, as the kiss of Heavens light bids,
Now ope, now close their dewny lids.
A little head, so smooth and white,
Pert, rosy mouth, and fairy chin.
And cheeks all rounded to the sight,
Save where dimple draws them in;
All in one tiny frame enwove,
As light as Laughter, soft as Love.

The Wool Market.

The wool market of the east IS now in
a condition of great. uncertainty. The
rush of foreign wools to the market has
been enormous but, with the approach
of congressional action on the tariff, this
movement is slackening up. The effect
of the delay is benefitiug importers and
no other class, and the senate is being
urged to Immediately pass that beneficent
measure. which is not q matter of politics,
but one affecting the welfare and pros
perity of the country. Wool has been
declining in price everywhere, and in Eu-
rope prices have fallen 80 per cent from
the highest point since December last
The enormous fall in foreign wool values
has been menace to the American mar.
ket. Manufacturers hesitated to buy
freely, knowing that any accident that
prevented the passage of the tariff bill
meant competition with goods made from
wool costing 20 per cent below last year 8
prices. They have felt that they had
everything to gain aud nothing to lose
by delaying their purchases. While the
foreign decline has been from 30 to 80 per
cent, the decline in American woods for
the same period has only been about 5
per cent, which is due To-, several causes,
but principally to the belief in the passage
of the Mckinley bill Even as it is. only
about half the American woolen machin-
cry is running on full time; while many
carpet mills are shut down altogether.

A short Crop.

"A SAVVS N1VEs
Prairie Farmer There is no doubt that
the cereal grains generally will be short
this year. In bushels the indications now
are that wheat will not turn out much
over 400, ,00O,O0 bushels; corn is estl-
mated now at 1900, ,000, 900 bushels. and
oats at $40, ,00O, 900 bushels. For the last
two years the averages have been 45O.
600, 600 bushels of wheat, 1,700, 900, 900
bushels of corn, and 584, ,00O. 600 bushels
Of oats. The increase of population from
1880 to 1890 has been about 33 per cent,
or sne.third. This would give an aver.
age of one-sixth more mouths to feed
than in 1880. On this basis we have a
per capita this year of IS per cent less of
oats, and nearly 20 per cent less Of both
wheat and corn, than ought to meet our
requirements for food and export. The
reserves Of wheat and -four in warehouses
were stated to be scarcely larger than so,
900, 900 bushels at the close of June.
Hence this country can spare for export
during the current crop year only about
half as much as in the twelvementh end
ing six weeks ago, and can only do SO by
dint of clearing the bins and granaries
bare, which is not likely to be done ex.
cept under famine conditions and fully
a fourth part of that supposedly possible
surplus has already gone out from us OF
been used at home. Therefore the pres.
ent year is good time to hold wheat.
Our market reports from week to week
show this. We quote wheat this week az
follows: No. 2 winter, 99c; No. spring
oslo. Last year in the middle of August
it was respectively 784 and 7o4. If the
reports for the next two weeks show the
same falling of--for instance, If frosts
should seriously reduce the sprlng-wheat
outcome in the northwest-we may have
nothing for export. With this we leave
eur intelligent readers to figure for them.

vices as to the present crop.
