Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin.
May 2Ist. 1895.

The weather-crop bulletin ISSUED
by the Missouri weather service fol
the week ending May 18th. says:
In most sections OF the state tn,
Ysother during the past week ha.

cr0ps. The mean temperature wa,
from 8 to 13 degrees below the
normal. and frost was reported in
some portion OF the state on every
day except the 18th. very heavy
frosts occurring on the 18th and
14th. The greatest damage by frost
occurred in the eastern portion Of
the state. from Knox and Lewis
counties southward to Stoddard
and Mississippi. and on bottom
lands in portions OF Clinton, De-
Kslb. Gentry, Worth, Harrison,
Grundy, Putnam and Nodaway
counties. Many fields of corn were
cut to the ground: gardens and po-
tatoes were ruined or seriously in
jured, and in some districts much
damage was done to wheat. Fruit
also suffered considerably in some
counties, and much damage was
done TO melons. In other portions
OF the state the principal damage
was TO tender vegetation on bottom
lands Good rains fell in most coun-
ties of the central and eastern sections
improving the conditions OF wheat,
oats, graesee and gardens, but over
most Of the western counties the
rainfall was less than so inch, and
at the close Of the week rain was
badly needed. Chinch-bugs have con-
finued to do great damage to wheat
In many counties. though in some To-
calities their ravages have been
checked by the cool weather and
rain. 10 a number OF the southern

Straying into darby church in the

in the New York Tribune, 1 happened
upon a real ''exhortin'," which is a
very different affair from an everyday

swaying he was shouting out protest
against ''de trials oh de present life,
breddern," and picturing with lusty
roars the contrasting joys sob de life
ebberlastin'" He used his text-which
seemed to have nothing in common with
his remarks-to fill up the waste places,
ringing it in whenever he ended one
thought and before he started on the
devious paths of another. He seemed
to use it on the same principle that a
suffering man swears or whistles, to
launch himself successfully upon a SEN
tence.

A CHARITABLE MAN.
The Good Deeds of an Enthusiastic OIL
PhiIanthropist.

The Good Deeds of Enthusiastic Old
PhiIanthropist.
Lord Shaftesbury, the philanthro-
pist, used to repeat, chuckling with
amusement, the speech of an old beg
gar woman to whom he had refused
aims. AS he walked away from the
impOrtunate beggar, she called after
him: you withered specimen of by
gone philanthropy" Miss Cobbe, in
her Life, remarks that his lordship's
philanthropy, unlike that of some
other noted philanthropists, was never
scantily kind to those Immediately
around him, while very benevolent to
those afar off.
He exhibited an enthusiasm for hui
manity on the largest scale. A score of
great charitable undertakings rested on
him. He did vast amount of good by
promoting legislation which protected
women and children in factories and
coal-mines. But he also remembered to
perform all sorts of little kindnesses to
individuals, and never did he omit an
act of courtesy.
Not long before his death Miss Cobbe
had an interview with him in his
study. The conversation had fallen
on the woes and wrongs of the poor
girls and poorer women of London,
which he had learned by personal in
vestigation among the slums of the
great city. Overcome by his emotions,
he said:
when feel age creeping on me, and
know I must soon die, 1 hope it is not
wrong to say it, but 1 cannot bear to
leave the world with all the misery
in it.
The old philanthropist found so much
pleasure in doing good that even the
joys of Heaven were less attractive to
him than the work of mitigating the
sorrows of earth 1t required no moral
effort for him to do good He did it not
as a duty, but because he loved it.

PEACE NOT CERTAIN.
Honesty of China's Motives
Somewhat Open to Doubt.
japanese Troops Are Ready for
Immediate Action.

Hone KoNG, April S.-Forty Japanese
transports are anchored off the Pescadore
islands. 1t is rumored that an attack
upon Canton is contemplated. Torpedoes
have been placed in the river for the
defense of the city.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 8.-The follow
ing advices were received today per
steamer Peru from Toxic:
Early peace is still confidently ex-
pected by the leaders of the Japanese
government, though not as unquaIifiedly
as ten days ago. Then the conviction of
the ministers was so positive that activi-
ty in military circles materially relaxed,
and the departure of several bodies OF
troops previously ordered to China was
delayed until the outlook should become
clearer.
Now these troops are again ready for
an immediate start Count Ito and
Viscount Mutsu, whose opinions
are of the first Importance,
are very strongly convinced that
China earn estly desires to close
the war at once. If the Chinese ambas-
sador's powers are curtailed, it is in con-
sequence of deliberate intention to de-
ceive, but it is almost incredible that the
Chinese government should invite fur
Their disasters by needlessly irritating
their antagonists at this stage.
The unconditional and almost abject
submission of the Picking rulers, their
open disavowal of blame, the prompt
ness in yielding to every preliminary sug-
gestion from Japan, have aroused,
some distrust, but Ito and Mutsu still be-
lieve in the validity of LIS mission.
Prince Komatsu, chief of the imperial
staff, is appointed commander in chief
of the Japanese forces in China and
ordered to proceed to Port Arthur. A
considerable part of the staff now at
Hiroshima goes with him. This step is
regarded as preliminary to the emperor's
progress to China
