scores OF Deaths From Heat.

The intensely hot weather at the
end of May and the first week in June,
besides doing incalculable damage to
crops, caused a large number of deaths.
The record was broken In New York
City, when III persons died from its
effect and 10 others were fatally pros
trated, all in one day. During the
first five days of the heated term in
that city 33 deaths occurred from the
heat Chicago reports a total of 10
deaths and at least 40 minor prostra-
tions. Philadelphia made a record of
seven deaths in one day. baltimore
reported four, indianapolis three, and
that is the way it went throughout
the country, nearly every city report
ing deaths and prostrations. The Curl
Gus feature was that Galveston, Tex,
and New Orleans, La, were about the
coolest places of their size. The states
west of the Mississippi river and bor-
dering the Missouri were given relief
by terrific transforms, as much as five
inches of water falling in SO hours.
At Plowville, Pa, severe lightning ac-
companied the heat, killing three men.
Michigan suffered terribly from the
scorching sun. Detroit had not known
such torrid weather in many years and
at least 20 people were overcome by
TIE heat, three of these resulting in
death. The growing grain was greatly
damaged by the continued scorching.
Throughout Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and neighboring states the same
weather prevailed.

The PIow-RoY's Song.

Like honey, or fine amber oil.
Spills the sunshine on my soil;
The weather weaves a charm Of gold,
What time my pillow upturns the mold.
The bluebirds, frttering as they fly,
Winged iris blooms, go by;
Hank! the woodpecker newly come
Amid the naples beats his drum.
I feel the cold loan round my boots,
hear the snap Of pungent roots;
In Dubious mats and tangles laid,
That part before the coulter-blade.
Pull. pull, my team! tbs good to hold
The plow-helves while the glebe Is
rolled
Adore the share and tumbled free
In dark brown waves by you and me!
This furrow is the way to health.
And golden stores of honest wealth:
The pillow, II is the magic key
In the strong lock of destiny.
The seasons come, the seasons go,
And warm winds sigh, and cold winds
blow;
But. snow or sleet, or drouth or rain,
There must be grass, there must be
grain.
Pull, pull, my team! his work is best.
Who, close to natures faithful breast,
In dewy morn, or MONDAY heat,
Can hear her deepest pulses beat.
Omen. old earth! the millions wait
For bread before thy ample gate,
And know, whatever may befall,
The plowman's hand must feed them

pnr.,,on of Life Among Birds.

The distinguished German biologist,
Wiesmann, has pointed out that there
is less exact knowledge on this subject
than might be expected, considering
how many in number are the ornith-
ologists and the pathological socie-
ties. Small singing birds live from
eight to eighteen years. Ravens have
lived for almost 100 years in captivity
and parrots longer than that. Fowls
live from ten to twenty years land are
then sold az spring chickens to Young
housekeepers). The wild goose lives
upward OF 100 years and swans are
said TO have attained the age OF 300.
The long life of birds has been inter-
preted as compensation for their feeble
fertility and for the great mortality
OF their young. From the small islands
of st. Kilda, off Scotland, 10000 young
gannets and an immense number of
eggs are annually collected, and al
though this bird lays only one egg per
annum and is four years in attaining
it's majority, its numbers do not d.
minish. obviously, as Wiesmann OBJ
serves, such birds must reach a great
age or they would long ago have been
exterminated.

Uncle Sans Financial Deficiency.

Washington: Treasury officials are
now confident that the close OF the lis
cal year one month hence will show a
deficit of not more than S44, 900. 900,
which is at least $1,000, 900 less than
was predicted few weeks ago. 1t is
shown that the pension payments dur
ing June will be at least -, 500. 600 less
than for May, and that the payments
on account of interest will also be re-
duced 81, 500, 600 Then there will be
an increase from internal revenue of
SO, 900, 900 on account of receipts from
special liquor, tobacco and oleomar
garne licenses which must be paid be-
fore July /. The month of July, how
ever, is likely to see the deficit in
creased by at least SIC, 900, 900, as that
months interest payments will aggre-
gate about $1,000. 900. Disbursements
in every branch of the government are
usually much heavier in July than in
any other month, so that without the
receipts are greatly increased the def
icit on August l next will not likely
fall much short of $4,000, 900 for the
- months.

OIL COUNTRY ABLAZE.
Mexican County, Pennsylvania, Being
Swept by Disastrous Fires.

Sparks from a lumber railroad loco
motive set fire to the woods about
Kane, Pa, and with the assistance of
brisk wind the flames swept onward
without check. 1t was not long before
the oil fields were reached and several
small settlements were completely
destroyed. Fires started in other di-
rections and almost half of Mexican
county, Pa, was visited by the fires.
Oil rigs all through that section were
burned, as well as millions of feet of
standing timber. Coon Runla, a small
settlement near Bradford in the heart
of the oil field, was wiped off the face
of the earth. The people had to flee
for their lives and many women and
children were panic-stricken and un-
able to move. They had to be carried
to places of safety. Conductor Tanks,
of the Pittsburg Il Western, says the
people on the oil leases are fleeing for
safety, but the fire spread SO quickly
that he cannot see how all of them
could have been saved. Several oil
bumpers are reported missing. A mes
sage from knapps Creek says the
leases have been tire-swept and 30 rigs
are destroyed. Several dwellings have
been burned and the town with Lose
people was endangered. At State Line,
on the Western New York q Pennsyl
vania, several dwellings together with
large amount of lumber were
consumed. A lumber camp, com
posed of seven dwellings at I'll Valley
junction was destroyed together with
thousands of dollars worth of lumb
The fire may be said to extend over
the entire northern oil field of Penn
sylvania. 1t is impossible as yet to
give any computation of the damage
or the deaths on account of the scope
of country the fire covers.
