A BAD MIXTURE.

Mr.. Everett, the mugwump who broke
into congress from the Seventh Massa-
chusetts district, more to his surprise
than that of any one else, made a rather
unique speech on the silver question, in
the course of which he declared that he
did not intend to speak from a partisan
stand, as 1t was a question outside of
party lines. He did not believe in mix
ing business and partisanry. the effect
of which he illustrated by this story: A
very poor English congregation were IN
need of song books. and in greater need
of money with which to buy them. They
heard of a firm who would furnish the
books for a penny apiece if they were
allowed TO put in some advertising mat
ter relating to their goods. 1t was
thought that, az the books were so
cheap. a page or two of advertisements
would not be Objectionable, and &C
cepted the offer. The books came in
time for the Christmas service, and the
minister rose to give out the hymn,
which, the congregation were Mortified
to find, read:

Beecham's pills are just the thing.

Tho Worlds Wheat Crop
[San Francisco CALI

The Hungarian Department of Agri-
culture, which is highly statistical au-
thority, reports that the wheat crop OF
the world in 1892 was equal to 2, 125, 0o0,-
900 bushels, or about 125, 100000 bushels
over the average crop ten years ago and
as nearly as possible the same as the
crop of 1891. The worlds consumption
being set down as 2,07o, 100000 bushels,
the crops of 1892 left a surplus to be
carried over into this year of about 55,-
900, 900 bushels. The feeling that there
was surplus relieved the previous ten
sion on the markets, and as compared
with 1891 the price Iof wheat in 1892 at
the chief centres showed decline of
from IS to 25 per cent.
The feature of the wheat production
in 1872 was the Increased yield of the
European wheat fields. In northern and
central Russia the crop was below the
average though above the crop sof 1891
in southern Russia it was up to, and in
some cases above the average. In Italy
the crop was about five per cent larper

than last wear s, amounting to something
like 100 60O,0 900 bushels, which would
leave something for export. A fine crop
above the average, was harvested in
Seryia- .Roumania and Wallachia; the
only Danubian country which fell below
the average was Moldayia. Austria S
crop is reckoned at $50, 900 tons, and that
of Hungary at about 100000 which
Will leave considerable margin for
export. The scrop of India was short
over 1000, 600 tons less than that Iof last
wear. and csc, 900 tons less than the .av En-
age. In this country the wheat crop is
figured at 520,000,00o bushels, as agains
6l2. 100000 bushels in 1891; these figures
correspond pretty closely to the returns
of the Agricultural Bureau. Finally the
crops in ENGLAND and France are both
light. The wheat yield in France is
reclkoned at 315,O0GO00 bushels which
will involve an importation of not less
than $4,000. 900 bushels; the yield in
England is figured at 100000 bushels
less than last Iyear, which will compel
Great Britain to import mot less than
O,00O,0 900 bushels. f..
In figuring on the European demand
for American wheat and -four. it must
be remembered that Russia now
permits exports of grain from

were prohibited. @
1t lis vet TOO soon to figure on the crops
of 1898. But it is really appalling to OBJ
servepn how small a margin of surplus
the world is running, SO far as wheat is
concerned. "a crop failure Of $1,000, 900
bushels anywhere, unaccompanied by an
equivalent increase elsewhere, would
bring consumption to level with pro-
d,iction, and would cause as near an APP
proach to famine as modern transporta-
tion facilities permit. In Russia las, spring
largescommunities actually endured the
pangs of hunger. There were deaths
from famine. Shiploads Of wheat were
sent to the Baltic from this country to
relieve the necessities of the Baltic. No
such straits would occur in a country
provided with a proper system of trans
portation and an enlightened govern
1nent. But: much Inconvenience might
arise without reaching the starvation

Rise OF, English Towns.

Among English manufacturing towns
none can boast more startlingly rapid
rise than that of Barrow-in-F urness and
Middlesbrough. Barrow was an insig-
nifcant hamlet made up Of handful Of
fishermen's huts until the discovery of a
rich vein of hematite ore some 40 years
ago transformed it into one Of the most
important eenters of our great iron man
ufacture. It's population is now 81 900.
Where the fishing coolies were hauled on
to the quiet strand there now flares
many a huge blast furnace, fed with
hundreds of thousands Of tons Of ore
yearly, while juto works and one of the
largest steel works in England add fur
ther-not to the beauty, but to the COM
mercial prosperity of Barrow. The maxi
ers of the place as it now is were the late
Duke of Devonshire and the Duke of
Buccleuch.
Middlesbrough began in an even small
er way. Sixty-fve years ago a solitary
farmhouse stood where furnaces and
pudding mills make the land hideous
today. Its life was revolutionized by the
aind in 1910 Of a thick vein of iron in the

BASEBALL BITS.
The Changes in the Playing Rules Made
by the Magnates-BiIl CIymer Resigns
Contract-Otl,er Notes of Interest


The most important rule passed by the
magnates at their session in New YORK
on Tuesday was that of placing the
pitcher back five more feet, abolishlng
the historic box, and placing l2-lnch
plate in substitution for it. The flat and
soft wood bats were also abolished. The
most noteworthy change in the scorers
rules is that a player who makes a sacrl-
flee hit snail not be charged with turn
at bat. This will tend to cause more
team work among the tossers.
Billy Cylmer has been signed by the
local club for next season. He played
good ball on the team last season, was
always an earnest player and made many
friends. Beside being the most unique
coacher in the league, he led the whole
organization in base running.
Harry Lyons has resigned with the
New Yorks.
D. W. Parsons, Colby '91, and who
lead the New England League of that
season in batting, will play in the out
field on the Yale Law School this year.
Foster, also of Colby 81, will be mem
Der of the same team. Parsons is one OF
of the greatest players in the country.
Lewiston was to have had meeting
last night and to select a manager for the
coming season. Tom O'Brion, Frank
Leonard and a host of lesser lights are
candidates for the position.
There is some doubt of Umpire Lynch
being on the staff of the National League
this year. He is in business in New
Briton, Ct, and is as yet undecided
about returning to his old position.
Buck Ewing, it is thought, will hold
down the first bag for the Cleveland's.
