GLASSBORO, July II, 1S97.-The aver

just now how last falls free silver advo-
Gates will account for the present era of
prosperity which has struck the agricul-
turaI district. A year ago the hardy TILL
lers of the soil were well nigh desperate
over the prevailing conditions. Crops
were not up to the average, and what
was produced brought starvation prices
in the markets. They were suffering from
a long drought, which compelled them to
haul water for their stock, and in many
cases their farms did not yield sufficient
to meet the bills for seed. plants and fer
tilizers.
Heartily discouraged the farmers were
ready to listen to almost any explanation
as to the cause of these conditions. yet
they thought the thing out for them
selves and declined to vote for a debased
currency. Now they are congratulating
themselves upon their altered condition.
The hoped-for betterment of crops and
prices which they were promised in the
event of the triumph of free silver has
come though Bryan was not elected.
Weather conditions have been favor
able all along. Spring was somewhat
late, and the average Temperature low,
but while there was one severe frost it
| really did more good than harm.
First came the hay crop, the heaviest
in a period of several years. Then cher-
ries, almost invariably poor, were finer
than for a decade or more. Strawberries
held on for a longer season of market
ing than had been experienced in a like
period. Asparagus was heavy and never
finer. Now early tomatoes n potatoes
are being shipped and no Southern pro-
duce ever grew to compare with the rich,
firm and well Favored Jersey tomato.
Despite the prolific yields of fruits and
produce prices have kept up wonderfully
well. They are now so per cent. in ad-
vance of those prevailing at this period

will enjoy a full season of rare prosper

A medical paper in a recent issue has
described the characteristic movements of
the limbs made by persons suffering from
different diseases. The gestures of the pa
tient when asked to locate his pain not
only indicate its seat, but describe its
character. Thus, if the pain be in the
chest and distributed over a large area,
the sufferer sweeps the palm of his hand
over his chest with a circular motion; but
should the pain be local he first draws
his hand away from the body and then
with the INDEX finger outstretched and
the others curved cautiously approaches
the spot where the trouble is.
In appendicitis he holds the palm of the
hand over the diseased area without
touching the kin. When suffering from
violent non-iniammatory pains the pa
tient slaps the abdomen. A child who
complains of continuous pain in the
stomach, when there is no tenderness on
pressure, is probably afflicted with dis
ease of the spine. In hip-joint disease
| the pain will be referred to a point inside
the knee. With violent diffused non-in-
fammatory pain in the leg, the patient
| grasps the limb affected; if it be a shoot
| ing pain he will point at the place with
one finger.
The pain of hepatic neuralgia or 'shin-
gles'' is indicated with the thumb or fore
finger. In joint pains the patient APP
| proaches the seat of trouble cautiously
with the hand flat.
A curious case is quoted of a patient
| complaining of a severe headache. Being
| asked in what part of the head it was
he answered, THE top, n when fur.
| Their questioned as to the exact spot
| pressed his finger on the side above the
| cheek bone. This he did three times
though declaring that the seat of the pair
was exactly on THE top of the head. The
