Enormous are the agricultural
product figures. The three prin-
cipal grain crops alone brought
$2OO0,OO0 more this year than
last. The cotton crop amounted
to SS,5GO,O0O bales, and is cheaper
than it has been for forty years.
The farming interests suffers.
Now we believe relief is mirrored
in one feature of over-production.

GENERAL ITEMS.

Ia Arkansas, emigration still
continues. 1t is estimated from
the present indications that fully
2C0O negroes will emigrate within
the next two or three months.
The farmers Of the State are seri

THE CHILD'S IDEA.

A lady who was going into a picture
gallery on the avenue dropped a single
red rose she held IN her hand and it
lay on the threshold when thin faced
ragged child stopped to look at it.
You can have it said the lady,
who was returning to her carriage.
But the child did not seem to con
meet the richly dressed lady with the
beautiful flower. She looked from it
TO the blue sky long and earnestly.
We'll" said the lady amused at the
scene, "why don't you pick up the
rose?'
Il dassn't,' answered the child,
humbly, not offering to touch it.
But | told you to take it, child.
It is mine" said the lady.
Oh" responded the child. drawing
a long breath, Il thought it was Gods
rose and that mebby He dropped it
there
You poor child" said the lady,
kindly. 1T is Gods rose and yours
and mine. too and she picked it up
and handed it to the little girl.
But the child put her hand behind
her and ran off without touching the
red rose. She could not comprehend
how rose could drop from heaven
like star to lie at her feet and she
was afraid of bounty that was of so
unusual a nature

FRESH CUCUMBERS ARE
HEALTHY.

"Cucumbers are a geatly maligned
vegetable said a man who insists
upon having vegetables freshly pick
ed every day from his own garden
during the summer. They are con
sidered by the majority of persons to
be unhealthy; whereas if eaten with
in a few hours after being picked
they are, on the contrary. very whole
some-quite as much SO in my est
nation as lettuce
My family are all fond of them, and
partake Of them freely throughout the
season; but [ should not allow them
to eat them at all, unless | was sure
Of their freshness.
1t is just that that makes all the
difference. My great grandfather was
hale and hearty at ninety one, and |
remember being told that his diet CON
sisted chiefly of cucumbers and to-
baccO. But [ won't recommend this
menu as a rule for old gentlemen; [
only cite it to show that my fayorite
vegetable has its sanitary value in
some cases.

A BEAUTIFUL, SCHEME,

Memory, the warder ofthe brain, -
says Shakespeare. but with many it
would seem that the full meaning of
the aphorism is sadly lost Most
every one has some sort of a memory,
good, bad or indifferent, as the case
may be, but one person out of every
fifty has some process or other in
tended to aid their memory, hoping
in time to be~able to retain in mind
all matters worthy of retention.
This recalls a story told of a young
lady friend, who has lately taken on
the fad of memory brushing" She
conhded in gentleman acquaintance
that she was poor on dates, a sad
failure on place and weak on events.
CHOW may l learn to retain things
in my mind as they should be?' she
exclaimed, as if in disgust at her in
tellectual shortcomings.
"Oh, that is easy" replied he, Gas
all you have to do in each case is to
form some little couplet with any
thing you wish to remember and you
viii never forgetit -
"Expain," she said.
For instance" the gentleman re
piled:

Columbus sailed the ocean blue"
The young lad, was in high state
of slee at such practical and really
beautiful manner of aiding memory,
and her thanks were profuse.
Time went by-two days, believe
when the two met again.
"How are you getting on with the
couplets?" asked he.
"Capitally" she exclaimed.
"A pound of candy goes that YOU
don't remember what l told you, YER

took the bet on the spot. Then she
ratified off the words:

Anything to Beat Cora.

A Young couple in the west end who
have been keeping company two years,
became engaged with the consent of
all concerned and looked forward with
the customary supreme bliss to the
contamination of their betrothal. Sud-
denly the betrothed maiden changed
her mind and told her lover she would
not marry him. When he recovered
his breath he begged for an eXplana-
ton, but could get no other than that
she had decided To marry somebody
else SOrroWfully he left her and in
the solitude Of his chamber put on his
thinking-cap. The result was that the
tilt received a formal note from him
telling her that he would call on GER
tain evening for her final answer. He
called and met with frigid reception.
His atlianced told him that her de-
cision was irreyOeablc and handed him
a package containing all his gifts to
her.

girl in the universe! | feel as though
a ton weight had been lifted from my
breast"
He grabbed the package and his hat
and made for the door. The girl was
petriticd with amaZement.
what is the meaning Of this?" she
stammercd.
Why, it MEANS" he answered, that
| am free. Itricd my best To muster
up courage to ask You to release me
but couldn't do it, I'll send your let
tiers and everything but the ring.
That, am afraid, Cora will not give
up"
And pray who may Cora be?" was
snappe,, out rather yiciously.
"Oh, she's the girl I'm going now to
ask to marry me- She's beauty. I'll
send you her picture and Hi give her
the diamond earrings you have re-
turned TO me-" His hand was on the
knob when these words arrested him:
If you attempt to go I'll scream. |
want you to understand that our en-
gagemcnt holds good. Don't 90 near
that Cora again. I'm going to marry
you myself"

A Navajo Indian, arrested fortheft
at Gallup, n NJ, was fed before being
put in JAIL While at dinner he pro-
vided himself with couple of tooth
picks. After incarceration, a few
minutes work with the toothpicks
enabled him to loosen a piece of
wood by 4 that was stuck in the
wall next to the cell door. This re
moved, a large rock about twenty
inches square dropped out of the

door casing. This done, he was a

Sent Him a Cutting Note.

OF course she was provoked when
he passed her on the street without
stopping to speak TO her. He lifted
his hat. ii is true. but she recalled the
time when he would have turned and
walked several blocks with her. no
matter how pressing his business.
Hadn't they been sweethearts a few
years before? Why should the fact
that they had not net for three years
so change him? Ought he not to be
the more pleased to see her?
The more she thought of it the more
she felt that he should have paid her
some little attention. If only for the
sake of old times, and when she reach
ed home she was so angry that she re-
solved to make him repent his apparent
slight.

and that it would bring him TO his
senses if anything would. She told
her best friend that she had brought
him up with round turn, but she
didn't tell her best friend anything
about the following reply which she
