WEATHER AND CROPS.
Hot Spell 0verbalanced Advantages Derived
from the Rain.

Boston, June 4. - The following
weathrr-crop bulletin for the week ending
June is issued by the New England
weather bureaus:
A very beneficial rain fell on the 9th or
2Sth over most of the central and western
part Of New England, soaking the ground
up well and putting a new color on most
crops. Occasional local showers have pre-
vailed also during the middle and last of
the week, and field crops and grass are
starting along fast and growing finely,
except where the showers missed a section.
The first part of the week was quite cool
but the last part, up to Monday, has been
far warmer than the normal; it has given
most sections one of the hottest spells on
record for this season. A heavy thunder
storm, accompanied by severe wind and
rain and hail, caused considerable damage
in New Hampshire on the I'd.
More Rain Needed.
Moderate to heavy showers occurred in
south central Maine on the night of the
Both, and there crops are growing fast and
grass is looking as well Us can be expected
But i'll the greater part of this state there
has been either no rain during the week
or only light sprinkle. and more moisture
is badly needed. In Cumberland county,
especially, grass is suffering and feed get
ting short One correspondent from this
county reports that the fields contain one
third less grass than is usual ut this season.
There has been comparatively little COM
plant of failure of seeds to sprout, and the
plants look comparatively healthy, but in
most sections they have grown very slowly
during the past week. There is consider
able planting yet to be done in all sections
The outlook for apples is not very en-
couraging. One correspondent from
Androscoggin county states that apples
are blighting badly; another from Penob-
scot county thinks the crop will be very
light, and another in Lincoln says that
the prospect for apples is poor The
weather bureau observer at Eastport re-
ports the total rainfall for May to be the
smallest on record for this month in p
years. 1t was only 1.29 inches, which is
only 50 per cent of the normal
Dry In New Hampshire.
Planting is being fast completed in New
Hampshire, and hoeing has begun on
early land. Most crops have sprouted
well and are coming up evenly, except in
the southeastern part of the state, where
the ground on high land is dry to the
depth of six to eight inches, and seeds
lately put in have not sprouted at all.
Over one inch Of rain fell in showers on

DYSPEPSIA.

Dyspepsia Is great and growing evil
that follows in the march of civilization
and progress like hideous phantom. / is
victims usually claim they are Bilious, y
but biliousness is one form of dyspepsia
The fact is our stomachs are not strong
enough to stand the hard mental work
and sedentary lives we live; neither are
they strong enough to withstand the wiles
Of modern cooks.
When ones stomach, liver and kidneys
are in proper condition and he eats and
digests sufficient quantity of nutritious
food, he can scarcely contract disease
but on the other hand he is the prey of la
grippe pneumonia. consumption, typhoid
fever, and in fact of every form of germ
disease.
A tired stomach has produced more
business failures, moro unhappiness to
its victim and his associates. more insani-
ty and suicide than ell other diseases and
conditions. This important organ must
have assistance when overworked. A par
ticular trying time is during the spring
months. During the cold weather we had
to eat more to keep up the warmth and
| vitality of the system and as the warm
weather comes on. the blood is loaded
with impurities. This produces the Ian
guor and lassitude peculiar to this season.
Nature at this time requires assistance in
freeing the blood of these impurities
Boils, ulcers, pimples, and humors of the
skin clearly prove that the blood is i'm
pure. These are danger signals that
should not be neglected. To rid the blood
of these impurities, nothing else is SO
rapid in its action or certain in It's results
as Rodolf's New Medical Discovery as
sisted by Rodolf's Liver Pills. They
| stimulate the exereting organs to healthy
action aud destroy the germs Of disease
All cases OF dyspepsia can be cured by
their specific action on the stomach and
liver. No other remedy so promptly and
certainly aids digestion. Its action Is not
confined to the stomach alone, but its
beneficial effects are apparent the entire
length OF the digestive tract By their
use the languid feeling. headache, sour
stomach, coated tongue, and dependency
of biliousness are not only relieved but
cured.

Saratoga, June 4.-While the Baptists

Inflated by the shifting of populations and
the rancor and alienation resulting from
strikes. The decline in silver has not only
paralyzed industry in the mining regions,
but religious enterprise as we'll.
Probably a wider area has suffered
from drought and crop failure than ever
before North and South Dakota. Ne
braska, Kansas. and Oklahoma, are the re-
gions chiefly visited. In some of these
localities missionary enterprise has been
almost suspended in the effort to save
life. Scenes Of famine such as one reads
of in India and China have been witnessed
in our own land.
The destruction by frost in Florida,
which amounted to national calamity,
has sadly crippled work in that state.
Forest fires in Wisconsin, have swept
away mills, farm buildings, homes and
even entire villages and towns home mis-

There arc indications that the move

Massachusetts, which has been at work
now for decades, depopulating them for
the benefit of the cities and the West has
