EUROPEAN CROP SHORTAGE,
Agricultural Department Summarize,
the situation.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The monthly
report of the agricultural department.
on the European crop condition., sum
marizing the crop reports OF European
correspondents to Statistican Hyde has
been made public. The following is an
abstract:
Recent information, while it may in
some cases modify the crop estimates
for particular countries, does not essen
TALLY change the situation as regards
the deficiency in the principal crops of
Europe. The outlook for wheat in the
Australasian countries continues good,
but the prospects in Argentina are
somewhat less bright, owing to the
drought and frosts. Accounts from In
dia are quite favorable, both as to the
Kharif crops harvested or to be harvest
ed this fall, and as 10 the seeding of
the Rabi crop to be harvested next
spring, which latter includes the wheat
crop.
The annual estimate of the world g
wheat crop issued by the Hungarian
ministry of agriculture gives the follow
ing revised results for 1897, compared
with 1896:
Wheat production of importing cOun-
tries, 500, III 900 for 1897; $50, 639, 900
for 1896.
Wheat production of exporting coun-
tries, 1897, ,341 SOC, 900; 1896, l,452,-
902, 900.
Total wheat production of both i'm
porting and exporting countries in 1897,
2,142,577 900; in 1896, 2,23S, GAL 900
bushels.
Net deficit, 1897, 2O2, s95, 900 BUSH
els; 1896, 1870, 534, 900.
Extremely pessimistic reports as to
the extent of the crop failure in Russia
have been circulated, but the liberal
quantities of wheat coming forward for
shipment have led dealers to receive
such reports with incredulity. 1t is
probable, however, that much of the
Russian grain going to Western Euro
pean markets is out of the more liberal
harvests OF former years, and there is
evidence there going to show that the
crop of 1897 is at any rate considerably
below the average.
Consul Eugene German, OF Luflch,
Switzerland, after an investigation OF
the European fruit prospects, expressed
the opinion that there will be a good
market for American apples and dried
fruits this season if growers would be
careful to put up choice stock only.
He says:
Nothing smaller than eight cases in
French prunes will pay to ship to
Europe, and all other dried fruits must
be uniform in size and attractively
packed"

EVANGELlNA IN NEW YORK.
The Cuban Heroine Arrived From Ha-

The Cuban Heroine Arrived From Ha-
vana on the Steamer Seneca.
New York, Oct. 1S.-Evangelina Cis-
neros, who recently escaped from a
Spanish prison in Cuba, was a passen-
ger on the Ward line steamer Seneca,
which arrived today from Havana.
Miss Cisneros asked to be excused from
saying anything about her imprison-
ment and escape. On the passenger list
she was registered as Miss Juana Sofa.
Size was travelling under the care of a
gentleman who accompanied her from
Havana. Several newspaper reporters
and four women went alongside the
steamer, and after the health officers
inspection was over they accompanied
Miss Cisneros to this city.
Miss Cisneros' escape and safe arrival
on the Seneca was one of the most dar-
ing teats ever attempted ana success
fully carried out. On Saturday, VIII eli
the Seneca was to leave Havana, detec-
tives watched the gangways with extra
caution. Their vigilance would prob
ably have prevented the departure of
Miss Cisneros from Cuba had it not
been for refreshments, including wine,
served them by friends OF Miss Cisneros
aboard the Seneca.
A few minutes before the Seneca
was ready to sail, slim young fellow
came running across the wharf. lie

dressed. The detectives stopped Inn.
My name is Juan Sola," he said
and he showed his passport. Every
thing was satisfactory. So the senior
was allowed to 90 aboard. 1t is said if
it had not been for the wine, the
strange figure of Senior Sofa might have
aroused suspicion.
Miss Cisneros' friends, when they
saw everything was satisfactory, disem-
barked and watched the ship pull out,
carrying the fugitive to safety under
the stars and stripes.

What the Teeth Can Tell.

1T is possible" said well-known
dentist for medical man to tell more
of the disposition and constitution of
a person by the teeth than by any
other part of the body. The first thing
that an army doctor does when a man
is brought up for enlistment is to look
at his teeth. If they show any sign of
decay it Is evident that the mans con
stitutior is delicate and his services
as O. soldier are Immediately declined,
even though he be in every other res
pect a perfect specimen of manhood.
IL the teeth showed but little signs of
decay the man would be eligible for
English service but for foreign service
perfectly useless. Men with irregular
teeth-teeth uneven and imperfect
are declined by medical men where
there are arduous duties to perform. 1t
is said to be sign of bodily weakness.
Another popularity noticeable in many
persons is spotted tooth. This is the
tooth covered with dark specks and Is
usually found among persons of weak
intellect; it is, in fact, sign of nsan-
ity. Large teeth show braininess.
more especially if they be regular. A
set OF perfect teeth Is the surest sign
OF good constitution. "-Answers.

Camel as a ScaperOat.

A very curious use to which the
camel is sometimes put among the
desert tribes is related by a disting-
uished traveller. He tells us that he
once saw one employed to appease a
quarrel between two parties, much as
the "scapegoat" was used in the re-
ligious rites of the Jewish people. The
camel was brought out and, accused by
both parties to the controversy of all
the injuries, real and imaginary,
which Ghey had suffered All the mis-
chief that had been done they laid
upon the camel. They upbraided it
with being the cause of the feud which
had separated friends, reviled it with
every opprobrious epithet and finally
killed it, declaring themselves recon
ciled over its body.-EXchange
