CHICAGO, April 26.-Reports have
leen received from the special corre-
spondents of tho Farmers Review in 10
states ON the condition of winter wheat,
spring wheat and oats. In Illinois it is
now evident that great DEAL of dam
age was done by the hard freeze in the
latter part of March, but this loss to the
crop is fast being neutralized by the
good growing weather of the present
month. In Indiana the permanent dam
age was not gre at. In Ohio the condi-
tion is not so good but yet no great dam
age has been sustained. The condition
Is generally
The Sauk Centre herald., 1894-04-26

In Michigan little reference is made
to the cold weather as injuring wheat.
From Kentucky comes the positive re-
ports that the freeze did little harm.
In places where the plant had appar-
emily been killed by cold, the warm
weather has brought it out Of its poor
condition, and d fair crop is looked for.
The general condition in the state is
good. In some counties in Missouri the
late freeze and dry weather have con-
siderably reduced the condition of the
crop, but recent conditions arc more
favorable and a re bringing up the aver
ago. The gene raj condition of the state
is fair.
In Kansas tn damage done by the
freeze was not great, but great damage
has been done in several counties and
the average as d whole is low. In Ne
braska the condition is not more than
fair and in som b localities the crop is in
bad shape as a result of drought. In
Iowa the crop is in certain counties
badly damaged. but seems to be better
ing. In Wise bnsin not much change
has been reported over last month.

Funeral Oddities,

The Egyptians bestowed great
labor and much expense on their
tombs and little on their houses.
They regarded the latter as mere
temporary abodes, but the former
they looked on as eternal habita-
tons.
The catacombs OF Syracuse, in
Sicily, form great subterranean
town, with numberless tombs cut
out Of solid rock. Dead of all ages
from those Of the Greek invasion
to those of last year, are there in
tered.
The Roman catacombs were
originally quarries. 1t is believed
that some Of them long antedate
the foundation Of the city. In
course Of time they became so ex-
tensive that the whole capital was
undermined.
Many nations have followed the
practice of placing a coin in the
mouth OF the deceased to pay his
way across the river that encircles
Hades. Generally a coin of small
value was deemed sufficient for
this purpose.
A Thibetan tribe keeps a regular
watch over the cemeteries, and the
duty Of the guard is to pray aloud
whenever he sees a meteor. The
belief is that the shooting stars
are evil spirits in search of the
souls OF the dead.
There are over sixty catacombt
known to exist in Rome or it's i'm
mediate vicinity. The entire length
Of the passages that have beer
measured is $50 miles, and it is
estimated that from 100000 t.
100000, dead are there inferred
Many Of the epitaphs in tn,
catacOmbs of Rome are simple anC
touching. "Naleria sleeps in peace.
"Xoticus is laid here to sleep.
"Domitiannus, a simple soul, la,
down here to rest" "Octavia her
awaits the resurrection" "Julial
lies here, asleep but ready to ris
at the sound of the trumpet"

He Likes San Antonio.

Lee Morgan, a Chicago business
man, is in the city for the benefit
of his health and is a guest Of
Herbert Meyer. Mr.. Morgan ex-
presses himself greatly surprised
in finding in San Antonio such a
prosperous city. He says when he
left Chicago he expected to find a
little Mexican settlement, with
nothing but the Alamo and a few
chile stands to visit. Since his
arrival he has been out to
the government post, the
Jockey club grounds, Alamo
Heights, West End, the
Hot Sulphur wells, and before
leaving he will visit the different
missions. Mr.. Morgan says that
large number of Chicagoans will
leave the beginning of next month
on what is known as the Home
seekers excursions for Texas, and
that many will come to San Anto-
MO. He says he is delighted with
the Alamo city and her climate
and will probably put in the win
ter here.

PLUCKY YOUNG GELS.

Row They Overcome the DISTINCTIONS In
Passing Up tho Thames.
Young cells, in passing up a river,
show the most extraordinary persever-
nnce in overcoming all obstruction.
The large oodgates-someGimcs eff
teen feet in hcight-on tho Thames
might be supposed sufficient to bar the
progress of q fish the size of q darning
needle, says Rod and Gun. But young
cells have n wholesome idea that moth
ing can stop them, and, in consequence,
nothing does. Speaking of the way in
which they ascend floodgates and other
barriers, one writer says: "Those
which die stick to the post; Others,
which get n little higher, meet with
the same fate, until ut last layer of
them is formed which enables the rest
to overcome the difficulty of the pass.
age. The mortality resulting from
such 'forlorn hopes greatly helps to
account for the difference in the num-
Der of young cells on their upward mil
grafton and that of those which return
down stream in tIe autumn. In some
places these baby cells are much sought
after md are formed into cakes, which
arc eaten fried.
"Eels spawn like other fishes. For
long, however, the most remarkable
theories were held as to their birth.
One of the old beliefs was that they
sprang from mud; II rival theory held
that young cells developed from frag-
mcnts separated from their parents
bodies by their rubbing against rocks.
One old author not only declared that
they came from May dew, but gave the
following recipe for producing them:
Cut up two turfs, covered with May
dew and lay them one upon the other,
the grassy sides inwarts, and then OK
pose them to the heat of the sun. In a
few hours there will spring from them
an infinite quantity of ecls.'"
