lowing official comment: "Aus dem In
nern zuruck. Emin NIGHT erreichbar." I"

More Than a Hundred Fold.

Four years ago Miss Lena Woodard,
living on Thorn creek, Washington.
sowed the seed from one head of
barley. She harvested the crop with
pair of shears and sowed the amount
received the next year, again har-
vesting it with her shears. The third
crop her father cut with grass
scythe, getting enough barley from this
crop to sow forty acres last spring, which
averaged forty bushels to the acre when
thrashed, making total yield of i, 900
bushels from one head of barley in four
years.-Exchange.

A Bows Explosive pooket.

Elias Mellinger, fifteen years old, was
in his fathers quarry in Lancaster, and
put some powder in his pocket, in which
there were matches. The powder was
ignited by one of the matches taking
fire, and in moment his clothing was
in blaze. 1t was 1,000 feet distant to
his fathers home, and the boy ran to it.
By the time he reached there his cloth
ing was entirely burned from his body,
and he was badly burned from his head
to his feet. Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph.

San Francisco Market Review.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-The fruit market
was rather weak, owing to liberal receipts. Val.
ues had to submit to reduction in consequence.
Apricots and peaches are in great abundance,
and quoted lower. Berries of all varieties sell
slowly, and there is little inquiry for them.
Choice red nectarines are in good demand and
steady; white varieties neglected. Apples and
Bartlett pears are plentiful and bring fair val
ues.
In the dried fruit market, the demand is con-
fined to apricots. Aside from this there is
little doing.
The vegetable market was overstocked with
all kinds and values are weak, with downward
tendency. Potatoes and onions, especially
common red, are dull, the latter practically
unstable. The supply of green corn, summer
squash and cucum bers are in excess OF require
ments, and plices are shaded at the pleasure of
buyers.
