The Director of the Mint, Mr.. R. E. Pres
ton. estimates the production Of gold by the
mines of the United States, approximately,
during the calendar year 1894, to have been
1910, 800 fine ounces of the coming value OF
S39, 500, 900, an increase over 1893 oil ~, ,5oo,
OOo, which Is the largest amount produced IN
any year since 1878. The production OF sil-
yer from the mines OF the United States Is @ es-
tlmated to have approximated In 1894 9,60O,
QUO ounces, of the coming value OF S64 ,OoO, :
900, showing q decrease as compared with
1898 Of 10, 500 ,0c0 ounces.
In the production Of gold, California leads
with an output Of s13,570, 900; Colorado

the silver product OF the mines Of the United
States Is S31 ,492, 500.
In regard to the product OF the worlds 8
gold and silver for 1894, the returns are IN
complete, but as far as received show an In.
crease in the production OF gold over 1888 OF

OFFICIAL CROP REPORT.
Widespread Injury Done by the Cold
Weather and FrostS.

weather anu cEOSSs
The telegraphic crop bulletin Of the Agri.
cultural Department says:
The exceptionally cool weather has been
very unfavorable for most crops, and wide
spread injury has been done by frosts, which
have been general throughout the northern
and central portions Of the country and as far
south as the northern portions OF georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi.
Corn has suffered seriously; much replant-
ing will be necessary. Cotton has also sut-
'1ared much, part Of the crop In the Caro-
fnas and Georgia needing to be replanted.
Spring wheat is In excellent condition IN
Minnesota and has not been unfavorably al
Ifected in North Dakota. Winter wheat has
suffered injury from frost in Indiana and
Missouri; in Illinois the crop Is less promis-
ing than heretofore, and no improvement
has been experienced in Kansas and Nebras-
ika; more satisfactory reports ore. however,
received from Arkansas, Tennessee and
Michigan.
Special kilograms from these States, based
upon special reports, are as follows:
New England States-Frosts killed all
crops above grounds; all new growth on
Rrapes frozen; Strawberries badly injured;
apples little damaged; peaches injured very
Ettle.
New York-Damage greatest in southwest
arn counties; central counties alone escaped
serious injury; loss undoubtedly several
millions in grapes and small fruits; otherwise
crops generally fine. but retarded.
New Jersey-Killing frost disastrous to
tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, melons, corn
and sweet potatoes; replanting commenced
Pennsylvania-Frosts very damaging &c
fruits and vegetables. except in southeastern
counties; grape crop appears ruined; grail
and Grass in fair condition.

BABES WITH A CONNECTING LINK.

The Koehler twins, as they are known, were
born at midnight exactly. Mrs. Koehler was
much agitated when she learned OF the con-
Meeting link between her babies, but the
physician reassured her by saying that 1t was
only figment that can be cut away as soon
as the little ones are strong enough to sub
nit to the operation. But there Is now no
cutting Of the lgament would be fatal.
Both children are girls and brunettes.
They weighed fourteen pounds together. one
tipping the scales at seven pounds and a
half and the other at six pounds and half
Each has q perfectly formed and healthy
body. The connecting band holds the chill
dren facing partly away from each other,
but is 80 elastic that they can be laid fiat
upon their backs without apparent dtscom-
fort, and may even be turned 80 as to partly
face each other. -,
They act alike and simultaneously in all
their motions. When one cries 30 does the
other. Still the doctors claim that they are
capable of individual action. The mother Is
a buxom young German woman about thirty
wears old. She has another child, girl
about year and half old. who is perfectly
formed.
The peculiar.manner in which her last
borne are tied together Is novelty In medi-
cal science. Instead Of being merely band
Of tissue or flesh, the connection seems 10
reach inward to the bone. The Siamese
twins were joined by q band OF tissue IN
direct line from side to side, and in two
other similar cases the subjects were fastened
back to back. In the present case the chill
dren have the free use Of their arms and
legs, and are able by twisting their bodies
slightly to look at each other.
The twins are joined nearer the lower end
Of the sacrum, and the connecting part COW
ers nearly the entire surface Of the coccy1.
The sacrum is the lowest bone OF the spine,
and usually consists Of FIVE vertebrs, and the
coccyx Is the end OF the vertebra In man
and tailless monkeys, and Is usually the
hardest in the human anatomy.
DR.. Granben, President Of the County
Medical Society, and many other men emi,
nent In medicine and surgery have journeyed
again and again to the Koehler residence
to examine the wonderful twins. 1t Is their
unanimous opinion that the case OF these
twins is the most remarkable on record.
