crop bulletin, issued by tho New England
weather service, in cooperation with tho
United States department OF agriculture,
weather bureau, for the week ending May

The first part Of the week was cold and
dry and tho growth of grass and other
crops was much retarded. But on Wednes
day night warm rain set in and since thon
the temperature has been higher with less
sunshine Frost occurred Oh several morn
ines in the inland districts and some damage
was done to emily peas and wild fruit Tho
continued cold weather has made the season
generally late throughout New England but
the effect on tho fruit interests has not been
wholly bad.
Much good has been done by the copious
rains which have been well distributed
throughout New England.
\ report from northern New Hampshire
says that lumbermen were about to pay off
their drivers, but that tho rain has given
them new heart. In many places in the
Northern states very little seeding has been
done; grass starts slowly and stock has to
be fed from the barns; hay is scarce and
high.
Potatoes are being planted in southeast
ern Maine aud in all central districts in
New England they ure coming up. In the
south corn ground is boing prepared and
little has been put in in Connecticut some
sweet corn is already up in the most favor
able fields. Asparagus, which is being cut
for market, has been retarded. The gener
al report is that the peach crop promises
well. as we'll as the plum, pear aud apple;
the former are in blossom in all the South
ern districts and the apple is just coming
out.
The above bulletin is made up from 90
reports; thanks are due the correspondents
for their promptress and the completeness
Of the reports. We need more correspond
cnts, however, in central and western Yer
mont.

Boyce was driving with G. j. Suhr on the
box beside him. Buck montgomery, the
messenger, was on tho back seat inside. Il
man armed with u shot gun ordered tho
lone passenger on the box to throw up his
hands and then ordered that the treasure
boxes be thrown out. The driver complied,
but the messenger inside fired on the high
wayman, vino dropped to his knee, and then
he and his partne hiding in the bushes, re-
turned the fire with rides. The messenger

bullets were lodged inside the seat. The
passenger received three buckshot in the
right leg aud the driver got five buokshots
near tho right knee. The robbers then dis
appeared with the boxes.
Afterwa"d the stage proceeded to Middle

A story is being circulated around the
Capitol, growing from the conference of
anti-administration Republicans in this
city, Saturday. It is to the effect that
Mr.. Platt authorized, or requested Mr.
MOorehead Of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette to say to Governor Foraker of
Ohio that if he (Foraker) would present
the name of Senator Sherman to the Min
ncapolis convention, rs candidate for
the presidency, the state of New York
would cast its vote for him. Governor
Fora&er's support for this scheme was set
upon he idea that if nominated, Senator
Sherman would resign, and Foraker be
sent to the senate in his place. The story
continues that Mckinley was approached

from the conversation Of the gentlemen
who have been parties to the conference

The statements which are being dis
seminatcd as to thc methods by which tn"
managers of the anti Harrison movement
intend to carry out their schemes is the
merest guesswork The only fact the
openly announce is that they are det",-
mined to accomplish their purpose. FIX
Speaker Reed, in abiding to this subject,
said that it was Il little remarkable that
from the presidents own showing he only
claims about 500 delegates out Of G9S, with
no candidate in the field opposing him.
| Ex-senator I'latt and his anti Harrison
colleagues say they do not propose to pro-
claim what they are going to do with a

their work effectively.
! The presidents friends are not relaxing

disturbed, but are making their own

| be an attempt to stampede the convention

| in referring to these efforts to draw Blaine
into the convention struggle, that if his
name is presented to the convention with

Why Bacteria do not Eat Us
Up.

Sir Henry Roscoe, writing in the
Speaker, describes why it is that the
deadliest microbes may be found in
the mouth or in other parts of the
body and yet the harborer of these
guests may be perfectly healthy. 1t
is, it seems, entirely question of
whether or not these organisms find
their way into the blood. If they do
not all is we'll; il they do the most
serious trouble follows. The expla-
nation of these remarkable pheno-
mena (Sir Henry Roscoe points out)
illustrates the saying that fact is
stranger than fiction, and shows
that the truths of science are more
wonderful than any fairy tale. For
what does the microscope reveal?
Under the eye and in the hands OF a
Russian psychologist working in
Pastures laboratory in Paris the
secret of this impotence OF the mi
crobe to penetrate into the blood has
been divuIged. For Metschnikoff
has proved that certain cells con-
tanned in the blood of all the higher
animals, termed phagocytes, inden-
teal with the we'll known white blood
corpuscles, being endowed with the
bower of independent motion, not
only wander inside but even make
their way outside the tissue, and,
mirabile dictu, pursue, devour, and
digest any bacilli, whether poisonous
OF not, with which they come in con-
tact. This is then the new and true
battle of life which, hitherto unknown
and unobserved, is constantly going
on within the body. We now learn
why no entrance If, under normal
conditions, possible for the invading
host. These phagocytes attack and
nnnihilate it before it con do So
They are the watchful guardians Of
the body. So long rs they remain
on guard tho body is safe from ut

cause, relax their efforts, should they
fall asleep at their posts, then the in
