BAD SHOWING MADE
BY THE ORANGE JUDD FARMERS
MONTHLY CROP REPORT.

County Returns up to March &c show the
Condition of Winter Wheat the Lowest
Ever Reported, With the Sole Exception

Supply The Markets..
Chice go, Ills, March 29.-The monthly
crop report OF the Orange Judd Farmer,
compiled from county returns received up
to March &C. makes the present condition
OF winter wheat the lowest since 1885 and,
with that single exception, the lowest ever
reported. The general average is $50 per
cent, against $40 last year and S5.3 IN 1895.
The government records for the past SIX
teen years show that the april report has
averaged nearly one point higher than the
May following during that period and as
unusual allowance for possible future re-
covery has been made N figuring this re-
port Of condition, il may be accepted as a
fact that the country IS face TO face with q
third short winter wheat crop.
To local:ze and illustrate the disaster
which has overtaken the crop, the presen
condition In the six great winter whea
states is given, with the changes from con
d:tions reported at this date a year ago
Ohio IS, or a points better; Michigan 81. o.
points lower; Indiana 20, or IS points low
er; Illinois Is. or Il points lower; Missouri
10, or 10 points lower; Kansas So, or points
lower; general average of the six states as
against So last year.
On the Pacific coast, in Texas and in IN
eastern states the season has been salts
factory and state averages are quite gener
ally high.
The crop was seeded late and did not sc
cure good root growth before the heaV!
freeze of the latter part of November l
went into winter lacking in vigor, and dur

CHECK ON TOBACCO.

hibitod ON the Streets.
The consumption OF tobacco OF all
kinds in France, according to recently
compiled statistics, is nearly one hun
dred and twenty-five million pounds
per year, says the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin. An analysis Of the figures shows
that the people of northern France
use nearly four times as much per cap
tia as those in the southern provinces.
Almost every country of Europe, how
ever, consumes more smoking tobacco
in proportion to its population than
does France.
This is especially the case with Ger
many. In many small German towns
smoking in the streets is forbidden.
Less than fifty years ago il man ven
tured on the streets of Berlin with .
cigar in his mouth he would be liable
to arrest. The same provision existed
until 1S4S in Vienna, though the law
was not observed by the populace.
The town of Brock, in Holland,
which is said to be the cleanest
citv in the world, has long for.
hidden the people within its walls to
smoke after sunset in the streets unless
with covered pipe. "in order that the
cinders may not be blown about.
Smoking with an uncovered pipe ir
German or Austrian forests Is an OF
tense that is vigorously punished, and
AS a result of this regulation, fores
fires are rare in those countries.

One of the best-known physicians IN

in Indiana of the German farmers wife
who presented him with six children
of practically the same age, said
Even triplets are quit rare, and such
cases as this are still more rare; yet in
stances are recorded in medical annals
OF the birth of six, seven, eight, nine, and
even ten children at one time. 1t Is
very rare, however, that any OF the chill
dren live where there are more than two
at a birth, although case is recorded
by Chambon of quintuplets, all OF whom
survived their baptism for short
period. heard not long ago of a Texas
woman who gave birth to six Children
and there is a case in Chicago where
four fully developed children were born

SUNLIGHT AND coLoRs.
Remarkable Changes Produced BY Mantp-
ulatiOn.

Remarkable Changes Produced BY Manip-
ulati0n.
Every one knows the danger OF mis-
takes in attempting to select colored
articles in artificial light. Only the
white light Of the sun, containing all
the elements of color known to us, can
he trusted in such cases to reveal the
actual hues possessed by the objects
under examination. Some interesting
scientific experiments on the effect OF
LIGHT in revealing or concealing color
were lately made by DIR. II. W. Vogel,
the distinguished physicist and astron-
omer in Berlin.
Starting with the fact that in pho
tooraphic dark room" filled with ruby
colored light, bright scarlet cloth ap-
nears white, it was shown that when
no white light whatever is admitted to
a dark room, the power OF the eye &c
distinguish colors is temporarily lost
and all objects appear OF various
shades of white and black.
BY mingling blue or green with REQ
light, the colors Of objects can be made
to undergo remarkable changes. Thu
quantity of light alone also affects ths
appearance OF color, particularly Ger
tain tints OF blue and violet, for which
reason, even in the absence OF artificial
lights, . person purchasing coiore'
| goods in a dark store must carry then
TO the door or window, where stroni
illumination can be obtained, IN orde
20 make certain of the precise shade.

Il Has . Soothing Influence on the Mind
~ . Duty Done.
The making of ones will does not
hasten ones death; on the contrary,
it has a calming and soothing influence
upon the mind. A person who has done
it feels that he has done his duty, says
the New York Mercury, that he is so far
prepared to die.
He has no burden upon his mirrd, in
reference to what he shall do in sick
ness. When sickness comes he has no
regrets on this subject; he has done his
best to prepare for the inevitable hour
If he has made his will Alright he has
attempted to do good in his death as
well as in his life.
This is not only a reminder that every
man who has property to dispose of
should make his will, but also that those
who can do so without injury to their
natural heirs should give certain por-
ton of their property for the public
benefit. No man has got wealth with
out receiving it from society at large.
1t is the growth of population, it is
the general industry of the country
from which he has benefited. He could
not have got his wealth in an unor
ganized society.
Society has done much for him. Lei
him do something for society when III
dies. The time will come when mai
will not feel himself to be dying credit
ably who does not die generously.

He Knew Some English.

A Frenchman was boasting that he
mad thoroughly mastered the English
language, when he was asked to write
from dictation the following choice
specimen of our choice eccentric ver-
nacular: "As Hugh Hughes was hew-
Ing q yule log from yew tree man
dressed in garments OF dark hue came
up to Hugh and said: Have you seer

After an attempt the Frenchman ad-
mitted his mistake. He used to imagine
he was used to English speaking, but
he would be more careful how he used
the language in future.

FROM AN OLD LETTER.
Wherein New York Society Is Criticised
by Philadelphian.


by n Philadelphian.
1t must have been a sad day for our
lreat-grandmothers in Philadelphia
when congress no longer assembled
there, and New York began to dispute
the social prestige of the Quaker city.
A celebrated Philadelphia belle of the
day, Miss Franks, writes of a visit made
in the rival city, and her quaint de-
scriptions of New York society were
probably colored by jealousy for home
supremacy.
The letter, which is possession Of
Brooklyn woman, a descendant OF the
observing writer, says, among other
things: by the bye, few ladies here
know how to entertain company in
their own houses, unless they introduce
the card table. Except the Van Homes,
who are remarkable for their good
sense and ease, l don't know q woman
or girl who can chat above half an hour,
and that on the form of ~ cap, the color
OF ribbon, or the set of a hoop, stay
or jupon. l will do our ladies-that is,
the Philadelphians-the justice to say
that they have more cleverness in the
turn of an eye than those of New York
have in their whole composition. With
what ease l have seen a Chew, a Penn,
an Oswald, an Allen and a thousand
others entertain a large circle of both
sexes, the conversation, without the aid
OF cards, never tagging or seeming in
