FAILURES IN GERMANY
PREDICTED AS THE RESULT OF THE
st+s GRAIN CRISIS.
German Soldiers Lose Stamina on Wheat
Bread Diet-Herr MIGUEL Petitions for
Free Corn-Rumors That Russia Will
Put an Export Duty on Wheat.

LONDON, August 19.-The Chronicles
Berlin correspondent says: September
promises the failures OF small and big
farmers, as we'll as city merchants.
Homegrown rye is mostly fit only for
manure. The substitution of wheat for
rye in the army will not be easy, as it
was proved in the war Of 1870 that the
Prussians lost stamina from the regime
of French wheaton bread.
HERR MIQUEL's PETITION.
BERLIN, August 19.---Herr MIGUEL,
minister OF finance, has sent petition
direct to the emperor, asking the latter
to suspend duties on corn for three
months.
WARSAW sIrLLERs BUSY.
A Warsaw correspondent telegraphs
his paper here that the millers Of that
city are engaged in preparing rye flour
and bran with the object of exporting
as much as possible before the prohibi-
tion is enforced.
THE BERLIN GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat opened firm and unchanged
today, but the market became weak to-
ward the close on rumor that Russia
intends to place an export duty on
wheat. Later it recovered, and closed
firmer. Rye closed at an advance of 30
pfennige per 1000 kilos, and wheat
closed at a decline of SO pfennige per
1000 kilos.
CHICAGO CHANGE.
CHICAGO, August 19.-December
wheat opened cent higher today, at
$1.O31S. advanced to 81 .04 and broke to
$1.021a. September corn opened 21sc
higher, at CSC, sold to 671ac and back
to Csc. A rally to $l.031a was made for
December wheat, but break was made
soon after IL O'Clock to $1.011a, on news
from Paris that higher prices could not
be expected. September corn sold off
to &c. About noon wheat took another
up turn. December advanced to 81 .04A
and closed strong. News from Paris
that Russia intended to put an export
duty on wheat caused this.

turned to this city today from trip to

The Chinese Authorities Scared Into
Submission.
PABIs, August 19.-Official informa-
ton has been received to the effect that
the combined action of the powers in
China, is succeeding in bringing the
Chinese government to look upon mat
ters in the proper light. The local

tory, and it begins to look as if it will
not be necessary to make the proposed
naval demonstration in which the war
ships of all the powers represented in
the Chinese waters were to take part.

Mining Company was held at the
company's Office at Florence,
Wis, last Monday, for the tran
saction Of such business as may
come before it. The semi-annual
dividend was declared and then
and there paid. amounting TO
twenty cents per share, which it
is thought places the Caledonia
above any other company on the
Menominee range in that respect.
This company own the land in
which is situated the Mansfield
mine. the only Bessemer pro-
Queer in the Crystal Falls iron
district. Several Crystal Falls
gentlemen are fortunate enough
TO be interested in this company.
The fee owners. ID. III. Ball. l.
ID. Hanscom and other OF Mar
quette's capitalists. have caused
the stockpile at the HOLSTER
mine. this district, to be moved.
The product of the property
measured some two thousand
tons of ore, broken and hoisted
in the development, which the
fee owners sold to the Thomas
Iron Works, located in the state
OF Pennsylvania. which is now
being shipped to that point 1t
is understood that the property
while in the present state will not
be operated, but that the fee
owners will entertain a purchaser
at any time. The property,
though small as yet, is a good
thing TO invest in.
The pumps are in action at the
Hope mine, though no mining is
being done. pending the action
of the Chicago q North Western
Railway Company, relative to
putting in a spur track Supt
o. G.. Davidson, of the mine and
Civil Engineer Palmer, Of the
North Western, together looked
over the ground and il is quite
probable that work will be soon
commenced on the construction
Of the track. Supt. Davidson
informs the writer that the Hope
is mine Of quite extensive pro
portions and that shipment will
be commenced SO soon as the
track is in.
IL now looks as though nothing
would be done at the May mine
this season from the fact that the
punffs have been stopped and
the mine allowed TO fill with
water This property has been
worked at various times since
1886 by different parties and a
vein of ore OF workable proper
tons has been developed; the
property will probably remain
inactive until an improvement
occurs in the on-Bessemer ore
markets. The mine is located
beside the Chicago 81 North
Western railroad. less than one
half a mile south of the depot
Two hundred and fifty tons of
ore is now the daily product OF
the third level of the Mansfield
mine. During the week the mine
has suffered greatly from a lack
of cars and ON Thursday 200 tons
of ore were stocked and the same
line OF work was commenced yes
terday morning. from the same
cause. Several other mines i'm
the district have had their week
~ outputs, curtailed in the same
manner
Operations are soon TO be re-
sumed ut the Tobin find, near
the Shafer mine. The work SO

THE TOBACCO HABIT.

There are many observations by
various writer's and others on the
tobacco habit All are agreed that
it is injurious to the young to use
tobacco in any way, but the habit
of cigarette smoking is generally
considered the most perniclous OF
all the modes Of using it.
Recently we were in conversation
with a very shrewd, level'headed
business man who has had large
experience with men in various
ways. He said that when he was
a boy there was no special objection
raised by any one against the use
of tobacco. Many thought it helpful
rather than a hindrance to boys
development, and he contracted the
habit of chewing. He found after
awhile, however, that he was grow
ing thin in consequence of using it.
He tried to stop, he said, but it
seemed almost impossible. He
succeeded few times in mastering
himself, but at an unguarded mo-
ment he would yield to his taste for
tobacco again. He has struggled
with himself thus for years, first
mastering himself and then being
mastered by his taste for the tobacco
that acts as a stlmulant, until he
has become very nervous and at
times finds himself untitled for bus
mess. And this is the case whether
he takes the tobacco or not. If be
takes the tobacco it is too powerful
fol his nerves, and if he does moi
take it, he finds himself unstrune
for the want of it.
Now, this is truly very deplor
: able condition Tor strong, usefu
5 man to be in. If he could call bacl
, the years to the time when he frs
,, contracted the habit he woul,
:, doubtless pursue different course
7 This is only one of the thousand
of cases of such suffering THROUGH
! out the land from the habit Of usin
: tobacco.
y To be sure, 1t does not operate o
every one in the same way. Man
II a man who has used tobacco all hi
a, life while engaged in manual labo
e, and has apparently suffered nothin
S. from it, would have been a bundl
lee of tingllng nerves from the effect
r of the same tobacco had he turne
I'd his attention to intellectual pursuit
Boys and others who commend
= the habit of using tobacco in al
way would do we'll to think of the:
or things.

AS OTHERS SEE IT.

The DEM0CRAT has given its
opinion several times regarding the
Importance Of the Exposition to be
held in Raleigh next October and
November. To show how Others
regard the matter, We give the fol-
lowing, taken from the editorial
columns of the Rocky Mount ArQo-
nQ1t:
"North Ca-olina, having been
chosen as the State within which
the Exposition is to be held, will
naturally reap a very large, if not
the largest benefit from it, unless
through carelessness and bad man
agement, she fails to make the show
ing which nature has richly endowed
her with the capacity to make. We
are sorry to know that q great many
counties have failed to make appro
priatious for q suitable exhibit, YET
we trust that almost all Of our coun
ties have enough public spirited
citizens within their borders to ge
up a creditable showing OF the adj
vantages they have to offer to PEG
pie who wish to Invest in our State
If they do so to any extent, Mort
Carolina will show up at the hea'
of the slsterhood Of Southern State:
for assuredly none of them can sho'
[ grander resources than can the Oh
North State"
