Government Report Of the Area and Con-
dition Of Growing Wheat.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE statistical
returns of June to the department of
agriculture include preliminary esti-
mates of the area of wheat, both spring
and winter, and its condition. While
several states increased the area of win
ter wheat last autumn, the heavy re-
duction by plowing and planting in
other crops to replace the winter killed
wheat in Illinois, Indiana, and to a
limited extent in or three other
states. has reducedlA creage in every
wheat growing state Of any prominence
except Kansas and Oregon. The per
centages represent the actual area now
growing in comparison with that har-
vested last year and include all that was
seeded last fall, except what has been
replaced by other crops. The general
average is 91.2, a reduction of S.S per
cent. Of last years winter wheat area.
An increase of acreage in spring wheat
is reported except in Wisconsin and Da-
kota. The percentages are; Wisconsin
81, Minnesota lis, Iowa 104, Nebraska
105, the Dakotas 95 There is also an
increase in Colorado, Washington and
the territories. The general percentage
is 103.S. Taking winter and spring
wheat together, the percentage of last
years breadth is 95.4, showing net loss
of nearly 1,75O,000 acres. Condition OF
growing winter wheat has declined from
SO to 1871 since the 1st of May. Slight
Improvement is noticed .in New York
and Pennsylvania and in Ohio and Cali.
fornia. Condition of wheat in Indiana,

THE STANDARD or FRANCE.
Explanation Of the Color Of the Royal
Flag Of the French Kings.

explanation Oh the Color OF the ksoyaA
Flag Of the French Kings.
Littre defined it as small silk stand
ard, of which the color was red, verg-
ing probably on orange. Ducange
said, under the low Latin word auri-
fiamma, that it was the flag itself that
was the aurifamme, and that it wss
a gonfalon with three tails of ver-
NEIL color, and was attached to q
lance; or. again, that it was glaive
entirely gilt, to which was attached. q
yermeil banner. The word glaive here
must refer simply to the blade of the
lance; the gliding probably to its pole
also. In the Fourteenth century, ac-
cording to Guiart, it was of reddish, or
rather of reddening (roujoianD silk
stuff, quite uniform and self colored,
and without the representation of any
thing else on its red ground Simple,
sans pourtraiture d'autre afaire), like
the Chinese chen.
That vermeil was red. and that
that particular red was the Roman
purple red, is pointed to by Sicille, the
herald of Alphonsus the Wise, of Ar
ragon, in his Fifteenth century Her
aldry of Colors, where he says the
.'red or vermeil color" is of great es-
tate and dignity, as the aurifamme
standard of red silk, miraculously sent
from heaven to the Gaulish kings,
well shows. Here we have again the
'sdivine" or sacred character which
was impaired to the Chinese war flag
by the sacrifcal blood.
As to the word itself, we find auri-
famine, orie fambe where orie is GER
tainly golden), oriHambe, orifiamble,
orihan, orifande, orifior, orifour and
even a low Latin ollihamma, which
recalls the eastern word olifant, the
earliest form of elephant, which seems
to have like origin with the Hebrew
aleph,, an OK. The ward oriflamme,
as the name of the plain red flag, is
clearly and straightly golden flame
simply.
The adjective golden arises equally
clearly from the golden red of the YER
neil color of the flame itself; the ex-.
preston the red goldn is common
old English one, and the laureate's
"brow bound with burning gold will
not soon leave the language. The
explanation Of golden in oritiamme
from the gliding of the pole of the flag
is an utterly inadmissible one. There
is one other possible explanation, how
ever The flag of Ali has what M. de
Beaumont, in his fascinating "Origine
du Blazon," calls golden flames" en-
the red ground, and he also says that
the French flag exhibits similar
flames" But the first seems to me
| to be tongues, and the second flowers
| (the fieur de lisp, which would ac-
1 count for the names oriflour, oiredor,
just mentioned. In any case this will
not apply to the self colored oriaamme
flag, which all ought to be agreed was
the original one. Gentleman's Maga-

last and most complete test Of steel by
the basic process has been given in the

days it used charcoal pig iron, but at
the last test tried coke pig, using two
parts for one Of scrap iron. The heat
was finished in seven hours, and the
metal ran when poured as easily as
water, and was absolutely satisfactory in
every particular, the phosphate and pig
being thoroughly eliminated. Portions
OF the steel were hammered down cold,
and then bent and twisted in all ways
without fracture or crack. No test
could have been more thorough and Il
great future is promised for Southern
steel in the markets OF the world as
