Gus CALCULATIONS.
The offerings of corn in the West are of

The offerings of corn in the West are of
fair volume for the season, and appear likely
to continue So The shipping movement is
moderate, under the relatively liberal demand
for feeding operations, this grain displacing
wheat for such purposes to considerable ex-
tent
The results of careful REVISION of estimates
of the 1891 production of wheat, in detail by
States leads to the conclusion that previous
calculations with reference to the spring grain
have not fully represented the yield, and that
the results justify 165, 100000 bushels as this
portion of the crop, and approximately $50
100000 for winter grain-making total of
SIS, 900. 900 bushels and giving 5000, 900
bushels as the indicated exportable quantity,
Gncluding previous surplus,) of which guam
tity the exports to January will be about H.,
100000. This deduction is based on rs, 600, 900
bushels as the years quantity consumed by
| animals.
| The visible supply of wheat was again en-
larged the past week-due, it is suggested, by
| temporary stoppage of Touring consumption.
| But the trade cares little as to explanations
| the fact that the warehouse stocks in sight are
equal to furnishing all the wheat and flour
| likely to be exported the coming six months is
more potential than statements concerning de
pletlon of invisible stocks, and reasonable
declarations concerning the better shaping of
affairs ere long in the future.
May wheat at Chicago closed &c below the
| highest point of the week, &c above the lowest
point, and 4c lower than a week ago.

Runaway Accident Xmas Day.

On the afternoon of Xmas day, whilst Mr..
Minor B. HamrcE and his wife of this city
were riding in buggy drawn by two horses
on the Spring Hill road, the horses became
frightened and ran off when about three
miles from this city. After running for some
distance, one of the front wheels broke when
the occupants of the buggy were thrown out
and Mr. Hamrick was rendered for a time in
sensible by the shock and was bruised about
his head aud face. His wife, fortunately, es
capped with but slight injury. The horses
continued their flight and wrecked the buggy
This accident occurred near the residence of
Mrs. Joseph Cline, who furnished them con-
veyance to come to their home where their in
juries were attended to by DR.. A. M. Henkel.

What 1t Means to be a Surfman-Hard.
ship and Injury His Chief Reward
From the Woonsocket Or. ~ Reporter.
One midwinter night, in binding snow
storm, Captain Arthur L. Nickerson, In
command of the gallant little schooner
Allen Green, ran out from Vineyard Sound
before the northeast gale and made for the
open sea. The storm was at its height when
the wind shifted so suddenly that before'the
skipper realized his situation his ears
caught the sound of the breakers booming
on Point Judith's treacherous shore.
Fifteen minutes after the Allen Green
struck, Captain Herbert NJ. Knowles crew
of hardy life savers had begun the work OF
rescue. Captain Nickerson, when brought
ashore, was in pitiable condition. As he
later stated in his official report of the disaster
(see Government Report made to Superin-
tendent Kimball of the Life Saving Service,
81 suffered much from cramps and pains
caused by the bruises L received before
went ashore, having been at the wheel fifteen
hours continuously"
The life savers wrapped the brave young
sailor in warm blankets and gave him Pain
Killer freely. The famous old remedy ac-
complished an immediate relief, and Captain
Nickerson slept as peacefully as child that
night and awoke next mo rning in condition
to face another tempest, if necessary. He
feels that the prompt use of Pain-Killer after
his fearful experience rescued him from I'M
utterable suffering and even saved his life.
Brave Captain Knowles is now assistant
superintendent of the life saving district
He says the life savers al! use Pain-Killer,

A NEAT PLAt T.,

Nothing will add more beauty to home
or place than nestness and order. How
many places might be made attractive and
beautiful by this simple and inexpensive
aTt2 Take, for e1amble, two places 80 one
where order and neGtness do not prevail
weeds, long grass, broken fences and
things upside down, with rubbish strewn
hither and thither. Contrast such place,
If You please, with one Of order aud neat
ness, and see which one you prefer,
wish to remind you that as beautiful
as flowers and shrubs are, they cannot
take the place of neatness. There is moth
ing that can take the place of well kept
lawn and orderly place. Flowers and
other ornamental stock cannot show of to
any advantage under neglect OF surround
ings. II you wish to have pleasant and
attractive horne, keep things clean and
trim, 1t will pay we'll aud you will be
much n ore oontented and happy. Beautl
ful surroundings not only lend cheer and
content but also add health and do much
toward keeping the young people at home.
1t is often painful to see how careless
some are about these things, Very often
farms which represent much wealth ire
but attractive, presenting o.
dreary lonesome aspect, which is enough
to take the very life out of anybody. Is
II any wonder that the boys and girls talk
of leaving the farm under such circum
stauces2
If you have not already done 50, buy
lawnmower and cut that ragged grass
away from the front door. Trim up those
dense shrubs and trees pick up those
sticks, clear up that rubbish, trim up the
roadways and walks, repair the fences and
see if life will not seem sweeter ard
brighter. You may say that it costs too
much to do this. Well, just try il and
see think 1t will be the greatest bargain
10 the way Of benefits you ever invested in
1t will pay back as you go along. Hit is
necessary, just put of that summer or fall
trip and tend to 1t, at any rate. Make q
determined effort to improve your place
Il you have not already done so, and my
word for it, you will be pleased with the
outcome.
