Commissioner Helgesen gives i,
out as his opinion that the state will
average about seventeen bushels pei
acre. We give it out as our opinion
that the commissioner does no,
know any more about what the
average will be than we do, and tina,
is nothing. He can probably tel
better when threshing is over.

One of the largest Liverpool tin
plate exporters has the following to
say about the Mckinley bill:
s''rhe increased duty has caused
stagnation in the tin plate trade. But
as we had sufficient foresight to get
12 months stock landed before July
I we can afford to wait this year and
do little or nothing else. Trade is
now at a standard with the South
Wales workers, and the Liverpool
exporters are doing nothing except
in tin plate for oil cans etc. The
duty does not affect this branch of
the trade except on the right side.
If the Mckinley bill is sustained af-
ter the coming election the English
trade must be impaired, but for the
present the safe and only policy to
be pursued by both masters and men
is to keep the prices as low as posi-
bic in order to discourage manufac-
lures in America"
Considering the fact that the Eng
lish dealers are dead set against the
Mckinley bill and will use their in
fuence and money to defeat the re-
publican administration next year in
order to "do up" the obnoxious
measure, it is all the more reason
why the bill should be sustained by
American citizens. There will be a
similar stagnaticn on the other side
Of the herring pond after next elec-
ton. Stick pin here.

Being Cured by /. Tricycle..

The latest remarkable cure reported in
Maine is that Of nine-year-old girl
named Orff, at Levant, who is said to
have been cured of a bad case of spinal
disease by riding tricycle.. Her trouble
dated from infancy and she was supposed
to be deformed for life, several prolni-
nent doctors having pronounced her case
incurable. But a month ago the child's
father bought her tricycle. and she at
once began riding, at first only on smooth
floors, but later out Of doors. Lately
great change has been noticed in her
condition. Her back has begun to
straighten and her general health to inn
prove.-Bangor (Me.) News.

Judges Caldwell and Thomas, Of
the U. s. district court, have decided
against the railroad commissioners
and Attorney General Spencer. The
decision of the court sustained the
injunctions restraining the commits
sioners substantially on the ground
that the state statutes conferred on
them no authority to stop cars in
transit for inspection. The court
however, held that the state had the
undoubted power to inspect all pro-
perty exported from the state.

cold that he will undoubtedly be the

Tho English Theater as q Chinese Sees 1t.
When an actor first appears on the
stage he must remove his cap and in
cline himself toward the seated audience
as mark of courtesy. The audience
then drum upon their hands to signify
their approval. An actor who has gone
off the stage must appear again. and by
bowling toward the audience express his
thanks
Their plays, like ours. are divided into
civil and military; the civil plays
consist either of music solely-when the
sound is of boo-hoo-or solely Of
mimicry. The majority are taken from
the history of the country. The scenery
is marvellous. When one scene is finished
the curtain is dropped and the scenery
changed. Below the stage music is played
during the interludes. In the case of
these old romances several scenes are
brought together to form play, and if
this play is acted today it will be acted
again tomorrow, SO as to give every one
an opportunity of seeing it.
When no moro visitors come to see, an
other play is substituted. or the troupe
removes to another theater. Military
plays are those in which acrobats are
engaged; the theaters in this case are
somewhat larger and are known as
Camps (circuses). Temple Bar.

justice Davis had before MIN this morn
ing an interesting case of marital unhap-
piuess. Joseph elect of No. 3s Blocker

raigned for beating his wife.
"My husband has always beaten me-"
said the wife, land abused me, and /
have led a dogs life with him. l haven't
a pair of shoes to my feet, and l have to
wear his. He always made me live on
five dollars u week, and | haven't even a
calico wrap to wear. He beats me and
my children, and last month he broke Il
coffee strainer over his little girls head
because she had a toothache. He is u
house devil and a street angel. l had to
leave him three mouths ago n when l
returned ne beat me-"
Cleer, who was well dressed, accused
his wife of being an habitual drunkard
and with scalding her children. He said
he wouldn't buy her shoes because he
wanted to compel her to remain at home
and not go out q get drunk He also
said he had generously offered TO get her
ali the beer sue wanted ii she would stay
at home to drink it, but she refused.

knew what they were talking about,
and he was easily acquitted. But
meanwhile he had suffered much.
1t was another Ease Of infaflible re-
cognition by the lynx-eyed detective.
As a matter of fact this business OF
personal Identification is very loosely
handled by the police, and often in
courts. The proof which establishes
identity is often no more than
sufficient to show that the Grim
hal and the accused are not
totally dissimiiar. The detective or
private citizen may tell the court that
he is never mistaken in a face; that if
he has ever seen a mans footprint In
the mud he can forever thereafter
recognize him by a lock Of his hair,
but such protestations should be
viewed with suspicion. The New
Yorker who lost a bit of harness was
too hasty in his pursuit. The proof
which acquitted Curry could have
been hunted up in time to spare him
much misery. and perhaps to ave the
life Of his wife. This should be a
painful and terrible thought to any
who are responsible for their mistaken
accusation.

consider that superstition goes hand
in hand with ignorance, but among
the Latins il exists among those of
the highest as well as the lowest
classes, and there is a great tendency
to il among their descendants. and in
deed among all people of hypersensi-
tive natures who are impressionaole
and OF excitable teInperaments. No
one can deplore or combat superstition
more than myself, and had j children
| should from their earliest years
endeavor to. eradicate any such ten
dency. Although personally | should
be entirely willing to make u OF q
party of thirteen at table, It would
cause me discomfort for one whom |
love to do so. Ny Unborn prejudice
against thirteen was fostered by the
following painful experience: a birth
day dinner was given in my honor.
Just as we were about to enter the
dining-room, two dear friends just
from Europe happened to drop in
and were persuaded to remain to din
ner. When the meal vas half over,
a foreign friend at my left whispered
that we were thirteen, but begged
me not to call attention to
the fact; saying jestingly that no
change at that late stage of the din
ner would break the spell. Within
three weeks one of the English ladies
was dead. and within as many months
the friend at my left lay in his
grave.
Another and very similar instance
happened at a dinner which | gave a
year or two ago; and | should GER
tainly be unwilling again to aid" my
friends to n party of thirteen, or al
low any guest to happen in and maxi
up that number. MIS-. Frank Leslie,
