STEUBENvILLE, September 10.-With-

witnessed in Steubenville was the Nc
Kinley hoodoo held here to-day. The
Republican managers did everything in
their power to give the Major good re-

out to present TO the people along with
a jug having McKinleys picture, manu-
factured at the Steubenville pottery.
But ii was all of no avail, for instead OF

WASHINGTON, September 10.-The
Statistician of the Department OF AGri--
culture reports the September general
averages of cereal crops as follows:
Corn, Oil; wheat, 96.S; rye, 95.1; OATS
9O.7 barley, 94.3; buckwheat, 9o'o; po'
tatoes, 94.s; tobacco, s7.4.
The condition of corn Is 21 points
..A,1a Iiils .Ossn eAeecueu Uni9 SHfSc Iihieo
Ia the past ten years. State averages
are generally high, the lowest are those
of Michigan and Wisconsin. In the
Eastern and Middle States the crop is
we'll grown and is generally caring well.
The crop is in fine condition in the
Southern States.
In the Ohio Valley corn is heavy in
stock, somewhat late in caring from
cool nights, and in some places has
been blown down by heavy winds, yet is
generally very promising, The cor
respondent in Franklin county, Ohio,
claims the heaviest crop in forty years.
The condition OF wheat is very high
considering both winter and spring
varieties, in soils, latitude and eleva-
tions.
The general average has only been
exceeded slightly twice since 1879, in
1882 and 1884. State averages are quite
uniform, but ten falling below 95, and
and three below 90, the lowest being So
for South Carolina and 81 for North
Carolina The figures for the principal
wheat growing States are as follows:
Ohio, 9S; Michigan, 9S; Indiana, 100;
Illinois, 100; Wisconsin, 80; Minnesota,
100; Iowa. 90; Missouri, "a; Kansas, SO;
Nebraska, 9S; North Dakota, "a; South
Dakota, 90; California, 9S; Oregon, 81;
Washington, %.
East of the mountains, New York, 90;
Pennsylvania, 90; Maryland, 81; Vir-
ginia, 95. In few counties in Penn
sylvania, and parts OF Maryland and
Virginia, there has been some injury in
the shock.
The remarks concerning quantity and
quality of spring wheat in Minnesota
are extremely favorable with very
slight drawbacks from frost and wet,
and nearly as favorable ia Iowa, Ne
braska and the Dakotas. Extreme
yields Of 80 to 40 bushels are reported in
all these States.

Turkeys yielding to Russia shows
that the treaty of Paris is dead

How She Conquered the Duke.

The death is announced of the Ouch
ess of Malakolf. As girl she was the
intimate friend of the Empress Eu-
gene-in fact, the Empress and she
were, as we recollect. near akin.
Walking in the garden of the palace
one day, who should heave III sight
but Marshal Malakoff, notoriously the
toughest and rudest man in all the
French service.
"Ough. there is that bear againr
quoth the Empress, with a shudder of
genuine horror; but her young COM

The Marshal, approaching and bow

had just pucked.
Certainly. will give it to YOU"
answered the girl. swcctly; "but how
can a rose please you, who live only
for laurels?'
This answer completely staggered
the Marshal; in another moment he
was bopelessly and wildly in love with
that girl, and it is to his credit that
he prosecuted the campaign so dill
gently that a year later the beautiful
young creature became his wife.

A Bread Merchant of Beyrout

Here comes the bread-seler. He is
one of a large class, and the flat pan
cake-like loaves that he has in his bas-
ket show how the Beyrout people make
| bread. The same fiat cake, of varying
size and thinness. is everywhere the
form of bread in Palestine and Syria.
When fresh it is very sweet and pal
atable; but when old, much like shay
ings.
At some towns in Mount Lebanon
the loaves are baked in circular form,
about two feet across, and almost as
thin as paper. 1t is related that once
a foreigner. on eating his first meal in
the mountains, took one of these
loaves and spread it on his lap. think
ing it was some new style of napkin.
Strange as this seemed to his Syrian
host, we can hardly be surprised at the
mistake, for to our Western eyes this
thin, pliable sheet looks far more like
cloth than bread. Now, this kind of
bread has one great advantage. in that
it does away with the necessity of
using spoons. Those sitting at dinner
tear off piece from the loaf, fold it rs
a cup. and then dip portion of food
fr0m the general dish IN the center or
the table; devouring thus with each
monthful both spoon and contents.
The housewives of Beyrout enjoy a
touch of that convenient cooperation
that is proposed by certain reformers
of to-day; not that they take their
meals in palatial public dining-rooms.
but they do have public ovens. thus
doing away with some of the house
holds private gear" The dough is
flattened out into disks of the proper
size, and the boys or girls of the fam
lily put these on trays and carry them
to the nearest oven, where they are
soon baked on the smooth hot slabs.
We cannot stop here to describe the
various ard interesting processes of
bread making as they are practiced in
the villages of Lebanon, or in the
Bedouin camp. Other things close at
hand crowd upon our attention.
