CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-The Farmers
Review says of winter wheat: Wheat
IN Illinois is quite generally under a
blanket of snow. When last seen
most of it was in good condition. The
prospects of the crop are reported
good and the recent snow will do
much to lessen the danger of any dis

has yet been water-kiiled
I'm Indiana the conditions are much
the same as in Illinois Ohio sends
encouraging reports. On some of the
fiat, wet land considerable freezing
and thawing has been going on, and
the results have been damaging This
area Is, however, small. Snow covers
the crop in Michigan AMI the condi-
ton is good, though in some counties
the crop made little growth.
In Kentucky wheat has generally
stood the winter very we'll In few
instances the crop was damaged by
the freezing and thawing in January.
Wheat in Missouri is in good condi-
ton and will be improved much by the
recent heavy snow. In Kansas the
ground has been rather dry. but is
now covered with snow, and the at
tendant moisture will help the crop.
Some of the correspondents report the
crop damaged considerably by dry
weather. The reports from Nebraska
indicate the condition somewhat less
favorable than Kansas The crop
conditions IN Iowa are v2rious The
general condition is fair.
In Wisconsin the winter wheat is

In the Cornhill Magazine a writer
thus records a visit to an Egyptian
domicile situated upon the Nile:

there were ladies there) and found q

woman found space to keep the stern

She looked no more living than sea-

Her arms, her legs (tkrust almost

the long leathern flesh and Aaccid
muscles hung round them like dang
ling shreds on sticks. Round her
neck were beads of wood and round
her wrist leathern bracelets Though
to be sure, cannot fell certain they
were not folds of skim, and on her
face lurked not only lines, but gull
lies and passages, they seemed so
deep and fallen. But for the occa-
sional upturned glance Of her cold,
unquestioning eye | could not have
supposed her anything else than one
OF the earliest and bcst-preserved of
the remotest queens Of Egypt.
The old man gave us lusty well

and filled our pockets. He showed
us his long spear that hung against
the wall, and told me with a proud
gesture that he had often killed his
man, but more often with q sword,
and, taking me By the shoulder,
showed me fiercely how he used to
do it. He was 90 years old and had

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 22-Presi-
dent Eliot's annual report, with its
attack upon college sports, was made
public yesterday. He says in part
In the highly competitive sports
which give rise to exciting inter
collegiate contests, namely, boat
racing, base ball and foot ball, there
have been developed in recent years
some evils of a serious nature No
sport which requires the student more
than two hours is lit for college work.
No student can keep up his college
studies and also play his full part in
any of these three sports as at present
conducted. There is something ex-
quisitiyely Inappropriate in the ex-
travagant expenditure in colleges such
as Harvard and Yale.
The players have been forced by
public opinion to overtrain and over
work, until there is great risk of in
jury and even death. To become
brutal and brutalizing is the natural
tendency of all sports which involve
violent personal collision between the
players, as in football
