Weather crop Bulletin.

The Weather Bureau, in its report OF
crop conditions for the week ended June
sth, says:
While the week has been generally ia
vorable, too much rain in the states of the
Mississippi and Missouri Valleys and in
portions of the Gulf and Middle Atlantic
States has interfered with cultivation, and
there is much complaint of crops being
grassy.
Indiana reports corn in excellent cOndi-
ton, and this crop has made good prog
ress in Kansas, Arkansas and generally
throughout the Southern States. In Hi
nois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky
and Tennessee too much rain has inter
fered with cultivation of corn, while in
Texas it has been seriously inj ured by
drouth. In Iowa corn is generally back
ward, and in Michigan, Minnesota and
South Dakota devastation by insects has
necessitated much replanting. In the
great corn states of the Upper Mississippi
Valley warmer weather, with sunshine
is much needed Corn planting continues
in North Dakota
Winter wheat harvest is now in progress
in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Virginia
Some improvement in this crop is reported
from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Mary
land, but in Ohio no Improvement has been
noted, while in Southwestern Kansas it
has been badly damaged by hot winds and
drouth. In Oklahoma harvesting has been
completed.
Tobacco is doing well in Kentucky,
Tennessee, Virginia and Maryland, and
planting continues in Indiana and New
England.

The French at Fontenoy, sheltered
by the ridge, could scarcely believe their
eyes at the sight of the English gunners
slewing round their pieces to cover
them. When they at length realized
that it was one of the enemy's, and not
one Of their own batteries. the officers
of the Gardes Francois rushed to the
head of their men, shouting to them to
deploy and charge the cannon. Almost
at the same moment the grenadiers
cleared the hilltop and began to de-
scend upon them. 1t was then that
there occurred that wonderful meeting
which has charmed so many genera
tions of readers. Everyone knows the
description of Che scene for which Vol
taire was indebted to d'Argenson. How
the French officers, in their blue and
silver coats and their long, scarlet vests
and stockings, waited the approach of
the grenadiers, hat in hand; how the
redcoats doffed their marvellous shield
fronted caps, while Lord Charles Hay
bowed to the opposing line, with the
words: Gentlemen of the French
guard, please to fire irst!" to which
Co1nte d'Anteroche replied: Gentle
men, we never fire first; fire first your
selves!" Such was battle of the grand
age as pictured by the aristocrat who
saw the universe reflected in the mirrors
of the Oeil de Boeuf; but in the Lothian
papers there is a yellow letter, written
by Hay in hospital after the action,
which gives ruder, and, it is to be
feared, more natural version, of the
story.-Temple Bar.

q record Of vacation Fambles, a stereos-

vised, compact and light, with plates

on the market for the size of the picture

A thin waterproof cape that weighs
but 13 ounces complete, with leather
case, has been devised for turists. In
it's case it has much the appearance of
a tool bag. If the rider is willing to
limit himself to a small pump and a
wrench, these tools can be wrapped in
the cape and the whole device occupy
the space of the ordinary tool-bag. The
capes for both men and women retail
for a dollar and half and two dollars.
according to size.
The real novelty of the season, how
ever. eclipsing all other purposes and
uses of the wheel, contemplated or
achieved, is the formal entrance of the
wheel into politics. In New York city
it is claimed that since d.. Chauncey NJ
Depew has opposed the Armstrong bill
making bicycles personal he could not
be elected to the smallest office in the
GIFT of the people. In San Francisco
the wheelmen elected Judge Kerrigan,
who had been a wheelman and was
interested in good roads. over other
very strong candidates. Politicians
are now awaiting the effect of the cy-
clists' power at the coming national
conventions. A bicycle candidate would
create a diversion from the everlasting
silver and gold question.
And Mercury. personified in the
American district messenger boy, has
cast off his heel-wings and taken to
wheeling At first only 20 uniformed
boys of the New York system, brave
with new wheels. white metal badges
and short leggings, started on duty
from the various Offices north of
Twenty-third street. This was follow
ing May day. Now the entire service
is remodeled, and before long it is in
tended that the entire department will
be equipped with bicycles.
In all countries the conquering ad-
ance of cycling has been the same.
1t has marched around the world. Gar
Nicholas of all the Russias has been
photographed with his wheel, and
grouped with him were Prince George
of Greece and Prince Charles of Dem
mark. This latter Prince Charles not
so very long ago taught his fiance.
Princess Harry" of Wales, to ride.
Wilhelm of Germany alone is fearful
of risling his imperial dignity by learn. I.
ing to ride. His sisters father-in-law,
the king of Greece, and also the king of
Belgium are cyclists. Another Is Milan,
the dethroned ruler of Servia. Both
lines of French pretenders have enthu-
siastic riders. The duchess of Aosta.

[copYRioHr. 1896. !

The day is rare that does not bring
out an announcement of a new make
of wheel or a new pedal or saddle or
chain or sprocket. New magazines de-
voted to wheeling spring up every
where, and New York city has now it's
first Bicycle Daily"-the first in the
world, for that matter. It is, moreover,
preeminently a woman's cycling year.
The man ufacturers' stocks of women's
wheels have been enlarged from one
eighth to full third.
Those dealers who have not yet
ordered machines, indeed, seem likely
to have to go without for the remainder
of the year. Secondhand. machines
are, because of this, going up in value.
A curious result of the universally
of the wheel is the organization of
metropolitan agencies known as cycle
register companies, aimed against the
cycle thief. Wheels are registered for
a small sum, and the registered num-
ber is stamped into the machine with
steel die. A certificate is issued after
registration by which proof of owner
ship of the machine is always promptly
available. The disposal of a stolen
registered wheel is thus rendered eX-
tremely difficult.
Bicycle insurance is another accom-
plished fact. Companies are organized
for the purpose of repairing vehicles
and bicycles, and of protecting owners
against loss or damage arising from ac-
cident. At the rate of SIP year, pay
able monthly, owners of wheels are
given list of repair shops in their
locality or some other, anyone of which
they are privileged to enter and have
work promptly done, the bill being
sent to the insurance company.

the appearance of the "L. A. W." badge
Even in Turkey, where the sultan
pleasantly alluded to the bicycle as 'the
devils own chariot" a few years ago
there are now a Thousand wheelmen. In
Egypt and Africa, Denmark, Chill and
where-not, the wheel is victor. Japan
has become so ambitious that she is now
manufacturing her own wheels-clum,
sy and cumbrous affairs they are said
to be.
Of clubs there is no end. The Leag:;.
of American Wheelmen has on it's rolls
10000 members, including 1900 women.
It's headquarters are in Boston and il
has branches in every state and terri
tory in the union. 1t practically makes
and administers the laws for the racing
element of the entire world. The aris.
tocratic social clubs of New York is the
Vichaux, with $50 members, among
whom are the JAYS. Rockefellers,
Goulds, DreXels and Roosevelts. Dis.
tinctive features of their indoor club
life are musical rides on regular even
ings, when the most intricate figures
of the dance are performed on their
wheels. There are no better riders out
side the professional ranks than are
found in the Vichaux club.

and made a most successful fob OF this

The hammer ordered by Mr. San

with n collar. which fits over the top

in Crete is very alarming. and that
massacres Of the Christians by the
Turkish troops are feared. The Chris
tians have appealed to the foreign war

Other reports concur In the state
ment that anarchy prevails on the is

the Turkish troops and the Christian
insurgents continues.
In the house Of commons today Mr..
George n. Curzon. under secretary for
foreign affairs. announced that a COM
plant had been made by the Christian
insurgents in Crete that the Turks in
that island had further violated the
armistice which had been agreed upon
by the Turks and the Christian rebels
by making an attack upon the town
Of Apokorona. where many persons.
including women and children. are re-
ported to have been killed.
Mr.. Curzon also said that the powers
had made a protest to the Porte, in
sisting that the Turkish troops in the
island of Crete should remain purely
on the defensive, according to the
agreement entered into when the ar
mistice was established.
