The weather during the past week has been
especially favorable for growing crops through
out the principal corn and wheat States OF the
central valley and Northwest. Crop conditions
are reported as very promis sing in Dakota. The
harvesting Of wheat is in progress as far north
as the forty-second parallel, and the condition
of the corn crop is generally reported as excel
lent. Iowa reports a good yield OF fall wheat,
with small acreage. Missouri reports wheat
harvest nearly finished; yield % per cent. OF the
average, and Of fine quality. Michigan reDorts
having In progress, with large yield; corn and
oats good wheat ready for harvest in ten days.
More rain Is needed In Kentucky and Tennessee,
although the crops were much improved III
those States during the week. The weather was
especially favorable for harvesting, and large
crop of hay is expected. Texas reports improve
ment in the cotton crop, Notwithstanding the
absence o. rain during the last two weeks. This
crop is growing nicely, but the fruit crop in this
State is almost failure. In the middle ATTAIN
tic States haying is in progress with prospect
of n large yield. Rains on the North Pacific
coast greatly improved crops grain promises
better than for years. Reports from California

A clever young woman is building up

Facts Showing That They Sometimes Prey
Upon Human Beings.

The curator OF Riddell Museum, Agra,
reported that the following had been
found In the stomach OF q large gharial,
saken near the city: "About dozen
large lunches Of hair (probably human),
sixty-eight pebbles, averaging in size
from nearly three inches to one inch in
diameter, one large bangle, twenty-four
fragments Of vitreous armlets, five
bronze finger-rings, one small silver
neck-charm 10 small defaced coin with
q metal loop, one gold bead, one largish
bead OF black stone, thirty small red
necklace beads" These things, says the
reporter, must have been on the body of
some woman, IL not more than one, who
had been devoured. These facts prove
that the gharial sometimes preys upon
human beings
Crocodiles attain great size, up to
fifteen, eighteen, twenty feet or more in
length, and are found in many Indian
rivers, estuaries, lakes and tanks, or
marshes. All are bloodthirsty creatures;
but they are said TO be fonder of carrion
than Of fresh food.
The returns OF 1887, when compared
with those Of past years, do not show
much improvement, for wild animals
still abound in many localities, and hu-
