the American Agriculturist's annual re-
view of the crop situation: The harvest
of 1893 in the United States is in many
respects similar to that of three years

demand will also advance values 80 as
to yield as large q net return to farmers
as ON the average of recent years. lndl-
cations point to a crop of 100000 bush
els of corn, contrasted with 100000
bushels last year. The wheat out turn
will not exceed 443,OOO,OOO bushels, &C.
cording to the American Agriculturist's
W reports and its Interpretation Of the
government returns, compared to 6l4,-
100000 bushels as the average for the
past two seasons and 4OO,OOO,OOO bushels
in 1890. Nearly 100000 less acres
were devoted to wheat than last year.

FRENCH SEASIDE BATHING.
Mndcmoiselle Must BE Very Modest
but Mada 4le Has More Liberty.

MndcmO1selle Must BE Very lOdest,
but NADIA lle Has ~ Liberty.
When a French young lady who is
! CONNIE ill fault goes in the sea to battle
| she is accompanied by her mother or
other female guardian, writes Sterling
| Heilg in a IIavre letter, describing a
| bathing scene at Trouville. She covers
herself completely with a white, pink,
blue or spotted sheet, which conceals
| even the color Of her bathing costume.
This she throws or hands to an at
tendant only when she gets into the
| water. When she energies 1t Is in
| stantly resumed. Those who display
themselves upon the beach instead Of
attending to their bath do so because
they wish the gentlemen with opera
| glasses should not be disappointed; and
there is no one to forbid them walking
and lounging as they please.
The beach is roped of in three d.
| visions-one for men, u for ladies
alone and one mixed. At the side Of
| the ladies' exclusive bath there is q
| printed notice forbiddirg the monsieurs
to hang about. Thus ladies can take
their choice; II they do not want to
leave their husbands they can go INTO
the mixed bath. II a big girl is not
yet out of school, or II her mother
thinks it best for her not to mingle
with the world, she hides her bushes
in the ladies' bath. In the mixed bath
the just and the unjust splash amicaDly
together. If a lady's costume is too
coQuettish one has simply not to look
at it. 1t is her own affair, and the
patronage of herself and her. kind is
SO important that she is actually .oler-
ated us II she were still a human Icing.
Married ladies, sure of themselves
and Of their husbands confidence, do
not scruple to make a little futter en-
| the beach or tllk with their acqualnt-
ances within the water. But the un-
married girl of good family. has a hard
time of it, watched when she is out Of
the water and in her proper clothes,
and followed when she is IN the water
and in her bathing dress. She may not
speak to any gentleman, except by her
mothers express permission, and che
may not move, walk, run or jump to
(; make one motion Of her free volition.
