An Excess of Rain in Most Parts of the
Country.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The weather
crop bulletin, issued to-day by the signal
service, is as follows:
The week ending April was slightly
cooler than usual in the central valleys and
Middle Atlantic states. 1t was decidedly a
cool week In the Rocky mountain region,
while it was slightly warmer than usual in
the Gulf and South Atlantic states, New
England and New York.
AN EXCESS OF RAIN.
Generallyssthere has been an excess of
rainfall over the regions east of the Rocky
mountains during the week, although in the
extreme southern and the extreme north
ern portions of the United States a def
cheney of rainfall is reported, the greatest
deficiencies occurring in the southern por-
tions of the South Atlantic states and the
northern portion of Minnesota and Dakota
The heaviest rains occurred in the west,
the Gulf states, extending from Central
Texas and Louisiana northward Co the
Missouri valley, over which region the
rainfall ranged from two to five inches.
The precipitation for the week generally
exceeded one inch over the Tennessee and
Ohio valley, the Middle Atlantic states and
Southern New England.
FARM WORK WELL ADVANCED.
Recent rains have placed the ground ia
excellent condition for seeding and farm
work over the greater portion of Iowa
Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan, and Da.
kota, although in the extreme north dry
weather continues.
Throughout the winter wheat belt, from
Ohio to Kansas, and south ward to Tennessee
and Arkansas, farm work is greatly re
tarded, owing to the excessive rains tbs
season being from Two to three weeks late
although wheat is reported as having i'm
proved, and the oats prospect looks better
GOOD WEEK.
The weather during the week affected
crops favorably in Louisiana and Texas
where planting is progressing rapidly, anC
in the Eastern Gulf states, where thu
weather was generally favorable aud mucl
progress was made in planting cotton and
corn. Work was greatly DELAYED in the
northern and central portions of Mississippj
owing to excessive rains and foods.
Crops are much improved in the South
Atlantic states, where good growing
weather prevailed, but the early crops need
rain.
The weather during the week was gen
orally injurious to crops in New Jersey anc
New York. In the former state fruit anc
vegetables were injured and little progress
was made in farm work. The prospect o.
the fruit crop in New York is general,
good, but peaches have been injured

Take Her to Europe.
From the Neac York Times.
"Women are smarter than men every

excursion business in an argument over the
respective qualities of the sexes, "and

said that was NOT to bother with what her

change of mind.
I'm the fall of that year met the couple
on the steamer coming home, and one night
over our cigar the husband told me the
story of how his wife persuaded him to take
