easy to abstract the oxygen and

LoNo-plsTANcE TALKING.
How 1t IL Practiccd By Mountain Guild


How It IL Practiced by Mountain Guides
In Albania.
The people Of Albania are said to
practice long-distance talking without
the help of the electric current. In
their mountainous country they pass
along the word from summit to summit
by the unaided strength Of their lungs.
Regular relays are said to be estab-
lished for receiving and dispatching
news. This is patterned after the use
of couriers in more level countries. The
author of THE Cruise Of the R. Y. 8.
Eva" speaks of this habit Of the Alba
mans as q national popularity.
They cannot say their say when they
are near each other, but must always
wait till they get to the top OF two
hills to begin to talk. You march aloHg
after your Albanian guide and meet
another; they may perhaps kiss, clasp
hands, mutter few words and pass
on, or. not unlikely, they pass without
the slightest notice. On you 60 and
forget that you met anybody, when
suddenly, on arriving at the top OF Q
hill, your guide turns round and sings
out: 20 Georgia, Georgio-o-o-or'or
whatever his name may be, spinning
out the last syllable to great length.
The echo has hardly died away be-
fore you hear the answer. Talk has be-
gun, and you'had better sit down, unless
you do not mind proceeding alone, for
move they will not until their say is
over, and you may have to exercise your
patience for half an hour.
There is no question that this long
talking propensity is a great bore, not
only for the loss of time 1t occasions,
but because the noise is enough to dis
turb every heat. of game in the coun-
try.

MICHIGAN ChOP REPORT

MICHIGAN. DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Lansing, April 0, 1895.
On the first day Of April thefrcst had
not all gone out of the ground even in
the southern counties Of Michigan. The
weather during March was cold and dry.
The mean temperature was below the
normal, and the precipitation very light.
OF course wheat and grass made no
growth In March; they had not even
''greened up' when correspondents
mailed their reports on April l. Follow
ing are the figures Indicating average
condition as estimated by correspond
ents, but it will be understood that these
figures are subject TO revision when the
weather conditions have changed.
Compared with average years the
average condition OF wheat in the south
ern counties was SO per cent? central
and northern counties 50 per cent, and
state IS per cent. One year ago the
average condition in the state was es-
timated at 90. In March, 1894, the
weather was remark ably warm, with
only moderate amoant of precipita-
ton.
The total number Of bushels Of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in March
is S53,697, and In tho eight months,
August March, $500, S15, which is a,563.-
2sl bushels less than reported marketed
In the same months last year. At 33
elevators and mills from which reports
have bses received, there was no wheat
marketed during the month.
The average condition OF clover
meadows and pastures is as follows:
Southern and central cOuatiss so per
cent. northern SO and stats 81 per cent.
The continasusIy cold weather has
been favorable for fruit, and the outlook
At present is promising for full average
crops.

Uamdhn. Ark, Jan. six masked
men made an effort to rob the north
bound Cotton Belt train due here at
10 o'clock, at a tank 10 miles south
OF Camden. Their object was TO Sc
cure the express money. The train
stopped as usual to take water and the
negro porter got or the train TO 10
round to the tank to let the water on.
He was stopped. however, By a Win
chester In his face and ordered to un-
couple the cars. This order was obey
ed, and the engineer. who was under
guard, was made to run the car up
from the train a distance OF a mile.
The bandits discovered too late that
they had made water haul, taking
the baggage car instead of the ex-
press. They had TO grin and take
their medicine and go 20 the woods.
Tho leader told the engineer he had the
laugh on him, but would see him
again.
The work was so quietly done that
the passengers did not know what was
going ON until the woud-be robbers
had found refuge in the dense forest.
The scene OF the robbery is more than
mile from any residence, the small
station OF Beuna Vista being about a
mile south. There Is no better place
than this for bandits to ply their
calling.
on the arrival of the train at Camden
the sheriff was informed and a posse
was soon on the ground but no clew to
their whereabouts could be obtained.
A special train was run up from Tex

and horses TO continue the search.
At this hour $3.50. there have been no
