Estimate of Farm Products for the
Present Year.

Present Year.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The AmericGn
Ag3icUjtu3iSt, in an annual review of the
harvests to be published in the September
issue, estimates that the farm profits this
year will be LOCO. 600, 900 more than dur
ing recent years of depression. On
basis Of the present prospects the corn
crop Of 1891 is estimated to be 1000, 900, 600
bushels; wheat, SOC, ,000, 900 bushels; oats,
go, 100000 bushels. In 1890 the wheat
crop was 150,000,000 and oats q, 4,000, 600
bushels.
The total yield of wheat, corn and oats
on basis of this estimate will be 2S.8 per
cent. greater than last year, and 14.7 per
cent. above the average of the preceding
eleven years. On this basis the value of the
corn crop will be to the farmers 81, ,00O,-
100000, wheat, $500, coo, 900, and oats $780,
100000. This is $3.50, ,000, 900 more than the
value of these crops in 1890, anG $685.
OO0,00O more than the value of the average
OF these crops from 1880 to 1890 inclusive.
Cotton and rice will command better
prices than last season. Cattle are worth

Victims of Rattlesnake Bites.

Either the reptiles Of Florida are more
deadly than those of Arizona, or else nerve
and GOODNESS have good deal to do with
human self preservation. A resident of
Key West, Fla, while deer hunting the
other day, was bitten by a rattlesnake and
died in four minutes. 1t is believed that
fright contributed to his quick taking off.
In contrast with this is the case of Joe
Chavez, plucky ten-year-old of ella City,
A. T. Recently he was bitten by rattler.
He never whimpered while the flesh around
the wound was cut away. The finger was
corded near the hand and the arm near the
shoulder. and the child made to drink con
siderable brandy. He was put on the train
and sent to Yuma, when the doctor APP
piled such remedies as the case demanded
Although an hour and forty minutes had
elapsed from the time the lad was bitten,
the case yielded promptly and the boy is
well. The snake was four feet six inches
in length

What was Disraeli likep "The only per-

Mr.. Henry Irving. When | first had the

Disraeli's manner, the peculiar slowness
and deliberation of utterance, n voice very

semblance in other minute particulars sur

extend to everything. Mr.. Irving, II we

1t was the grandmother who was the
first to detect the musical gifts of the child,
and this detection left profound impress
sion on the child herself, as if she, too, then
first made a discovery of what was in her.
The story formed her earliest distinct
memory. Coming up from the country
to the town she was struck by the music
of the military bugles that daily passed
through the street; and one day, when she
fancied herself alone in the house, she
crept to the piano on which her half sister
used to practice her music, and, with one
finger, strummed out for herself the fan
fare which she had caught from the sol
diers. But the grandmother was at hand,
and hearing the music called out the name
of the half sister, whom she supposed it to
be, and little Jenny, in terror of being
found out, hid under the square piano; she
was so small that she fitted in perfectly,
and the grandmother, getting no answer
to her calls, came in to look and presently
discovered her, and dragged her out and
WAS astonished and said, "Child, was that
your" And Jenny, in tears at her crime, con
fessed; but the grandmother looked at her
deeply and in silence, and when the mother
came back she told her and said: Mark
my words, that child will bring you help.
And after that the neighbors used to be
called in to hear her play. As she told the
story in later years she would reproduce
most wildly the frightened look of the
child creeping away to hide, aud the sig
nifcant look of the thunderstruck grand
mother Is she took in that it was indeed
the tiny creature Of three years old who
had played the tune. She never forgot
the historic fanfare.

A FAIRY TALE OF SCIENCE.
The Originator of tho Deadly upas Tree
of Java and other SHARES of Fiction.

The Originator of tho Deadly tpas Tree
of Java and other SHARES of Fiction.
Perhaps the deftest artist in this depart
ment of fabrication was George Stevens,
the Shakespearean commentator says The
Nineteenth Century. Animated by an
impish spirit of trickery, to which jealousy
of rival antiquaries may have lent spice
of malice, he industrously devised cunning
snares for their feet. He would, for eX-
ample, disseminate fictitious illustrations
of Shakespeare's text in order that Malone,
who was his chief butt, might be entrapped
into adopting them and give him the graft
fication of correcting the blunder in his
next edition Under the pseudonyms OF
Collins and Amner he would insert para
graphs in the daily press purporting TO be
curious extracts from rare books, copies or
which no one who wished to verify the
passages ever succeeded in discovering.
Among these curiosities was the romantic
story chat has found its way into Todd's
| "I.ife of Milton') of the poets having been
seen asleep under tree by lady who be-
came enamoured of his beauty and placed
in his hand some impassioned verses oil
| Guarini, which, when he awoke, so fired
his fancy that he made IA journey to Italy
| In the hope of tracing her. Another was
the story of the deadly upas tree OF Java
which long obtained credit as one OF the
| fairy tales of science.
