The Farmers Review Reports Their Con-
dition Generally Poor.
The corn crop Is IN poor shape quite gen.

cred by our report, says the Farmers Re-
view for this week. In Illinois more than
one half OF the correspondents report that
the crop will, in their counties. fall below
three fourths of an average; the rest re-
port from three fdurths TO an average. In
Indiana and Michigan the condition Is
about the same In Ohio half OF the cor
respondents say that the crop will be full
average. while most OF the others report
two thirds or three-fourths crop. In Ken
lucky half report full average. while
most Of the others report above three
fourths. In Missouri. Iowa, Wisconsin aud
Minnesota the outlook is good for nearly
a full crop In Kansas the condition
is decidedly poor. and will fall good
deal below three fourths crop. The gen.
eral condition In Nebraska is fair, and In
Dakota the crop will be nearly an average
one. The potato crops. early and late,
taken together. are very poor. In not one
county in FIVE of the States mentioned will
there be an average crop. In Illinois oc
per cent OF the correspondents report that
the crop is very poor. in many cases almost
q complete failure. A nearly similar state
of affairs exists in Indiana. Missouri, Kan

Ohio and Michigan the crops are slightly
better. about two-thirds Of the counties
reporting from three-fourths to full
crop Kentucky reports a full average

Friday Not the Most Unluclky Day.

A statistician of the German Govern
ment has come to the rescue of those
persons who do not share the widespread
superstition that Friday is the most un-
lucky day of the week. A short time
ago he determined to make scientific
investigation of this question, using for
the purpose, among other things, the re-
cords of the department of compulsory
insurance. The most fatal or unfortu-
nate weekday, according to the investi-
gator, is not Friday, bat Monday. Six
teen and seventy-four hundredths per
cent. of all accidents, it seems, occurred
on that day; 1881 per cent. on Tuesday,
10. 81 per cent. on Wednesday, 15.47 per
cent. on Thursday, 16. 80 per cent on Fri
day, the same per cent. on Saturday, and
Q so per cent. on Sunday. Comment upon
the small percentage OF accidents on the
first day of the week is unnecessary. The
compiler of the table, however, attributes
the large relative number of accidents on
Monday ''to the excessive amount Of
liquor consumed on Sunday"
