The late Senator Reagan of Texas

string on his fingers, and this string he
wound up and twisted and united and
tied again mechanically as he followed
the debate. Senator Vest always chews
a quill toothpick. Carlisle used to tear
paper into bits and drop the pieces one
by one on the floor. The latter is a to-
bacco chewer and sputters when he
talks, making it uncomfortable for the
interviewer. F. .."

then pushes you away with his thumb

he feared you are likely to tread on him,
push you away from him quite as unex-
pectedly. --. =. Ess.

DECLINE in CROPS.

The Government Summary Shows Con-
siderable Lower Percentage. j..
WASHINGTON, Oct. l5.-Reports to the
agricultural department. shows de-
cline in the conditions of all principal
crops, except oats, rye and barley. The
detailed summary, made public; shows
a widespread decline in the condition of
potatoes, due largely to drought. Com
plants Of potato rot come from the
northern and more southerly New Eng
land states, New York, several states
adjacent to the lakes and Missouri.
The most serious complaint of the
potato grower this year is the low price
of the product, particularly in the
Northwest. The report from the de-
partment's agent for Wisconsin and
Minnesota represents that lin the latter
state the tubers edo not pay for
digging He states that hesyield is
enormous. > :. ..-s-z f ...,z $. ,. -. .s j
Sweet potatoes have suffered quite
seriously from lack of rain, and their
condition has been materially reduced
in many states. In seven, it has fallen
from 10 to % points. "- H. ..>. *..
Tobacco condition declined over 2
points.
The continued drought, hot weather
and high winds Of September, causing
premature ripening and dropping, have
resulted in a loss Of over points in the
average condition Of apples. The great
est loss occurred in the. Central West,
where the crop was abundant. It is
thought both the eating and keeping
quality Of the fruit has been much i'm
paired, and in many sections a tendency
to rot is already noticed. The average
condition now stands at 70.4

THE DESTRUCTIVE TEREDo.


: 4
Ruined BY Il.
The teredo is the most DESTRUCTIVE
marine animal we have Il enters the
submerged part Of the pilingof wharves
or railroad trestles and bores into the
interior. When it penetrates the surface
Of the wood it is about the size of pin,
but increases in size, always lengthen-
ing, but never leaving any part Of the
hole it bores until its full mission il
accompl ished. 4 this way it stretches
from the original pin hole entrance far
into the interior Of the wood and swells
in size to the diameter of large lead
pencil. At the big end are the cutters,
two clam shells that rotate from side to
side and cut smooth, round hole. The
worm sometimes attains the length OF
ten inches. 81
Hundreds Of such worms attack the
exposed wood at the same time, and il
I q short time honeycomb it,. However
numerous they are, they never interfere
with one another, and no instance ID
found where one borer has cut into or
crossed the BORING Of his neighbor.
though the partitions left between the
borings are sometimes no thicker than
q sheet Of paper. Another popularity is
that as the places Of entrance are no
larger than pin heads and the worms re-
main and do their growing inside, the
wood may be almost entirely consumed
inside, yet the surface appears sound
and unaffected. Suddenly, without the
slightest warning, the wooden pile gives
way and its fellows follow in short or
der, and the wharf which appeared sub
stantial is wholly ruined. i. ..4. s. 81.
TO combat the teredo many expedients
have been resorted to. One is to sheathe
the piling in copper. Another is to cover
the surface of the wood with broad
headed tacks-the rust from which
spreads so as to discourage the teredo's
operations. Still another method is to
boil the wood in creosote under heavy
steam pressure, SO that the creosote sat
urates the fbers of the wood.
All these methods are efficacious and
the creosote process is used with perfect
success in wharf and trestle building
all along the gulf coast. It's cost is the
chief drawback, single stick Of creo-
sote timber costing sometimes as much
as $50. Mobile Register. G..

Farmers Of the Northwest Not
Selling Much Of That
Cereal,
But They Are Rushing Their
Coarser Grains on the
Market.
More Flax at Duluth il septem-
Der Than in All Last
Y ear.

DULUTH, Oct. 10. There is no doubt
that N orthWestern farmers are holding
back their wheat on account Of the low
prices prevailing, and marketing their
coarser grain instead. For several days
past the receipts of wheat in this market
have fallen below those Of last year.
Receivers say that offerings are daily
growing lighter, and the daily sales
here support the statement. On the
other hand, there has been more than q
correspo nding increase in coarse grains,
though ofscourse the daily reports Of car
inspection do not show as large total
for all grain receipts.
Big Flax Receipts.
During the first IL days Of the month.
the receipts OF flax were equal to nearly
tWo-thirds the total amount received
during the full month Of September.
The quantity received during the
month Of September was SIT, 1863 bush
els, which was more than came here
during the entire last crop year;
while for the first II days Of October,
the receipts were 527, $40 bushels. The
same proportion prevails with regard to
all coarse grains, except rye. The re-
celpts OF oats for II days of October
have been 81, 699 bushels, as compared
with 81, 245 bushels during the entire
month Of September. Barley receipts
during October thus far have bren 1885,.
253 bushels, while the total for the
month OF September was only 51O,777
bushels. ~. =
OF course it is not reasonable to fear
that the wheat movement will continue
relatively small for any length Of time.
The Reason of 1t. s
Farmers who are averse to selling
their wheat for ruling prices and have
coarse grains to sell, will send the latter
to market now and hold the wheat for
the reason that the coarse grains com
mand relatively much higher values in
this market than wheat. There is the
further reason that flax cannot be held
in the stack, as wheat can, with safety
from damage by the elements.
Grain men believe that the heavy
movement of coarse grains will be prac-
tically over before the 18th Of next
month, and the early closing of naviga-
ton is likely to spur shippers on to-
make inducements for a larger move
ment of wheat during the first half of
November, if the market should. de-
mend, which is entirely likely.

household word in thousands of homes. Dur
