MANIFEST DESTINY.
The Baby Clearly Showed His Bent
Early in Life.

"Charley!" exclaimed young Mrs
Torkins.
What Is it? inquired her husband,
as the newspaper slid from his startled
grasp.
Il have thought it all out"
Il don't know what you are talking
about
The baby's future. You know how
important it is to watch child and
see what his bent is. so that you can
get him started on the right road of
life
Yes. But isn't our badly rather
young?"
THE younger the better. There is no
telling how early character may begin
to be nodded. You may thank me for
taking a great responsibility off your
avocation any more"
And what. may 1 inquire, do you
propose to make of him.
"A grand opera singer
You're going to let him go on the
stage?"
Il think that Gyhen nature especially
fits any person for some particular
calling it is dangerous and wrong to
compel him to do something else"
How do you know he is fitted for
grand opera?"
Because every time he opens his
mouth he yells at the top of his voice
and you can't understand a word he
says. s."-WaShington Post.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston Journal

The butter market has developed more
strength and less activity than last week
The price in the West has been advanced ,
cents, but here it is hard to establish an adj
vance OF per cent Buyers are fighting the
rise with as much force rs they can, and fan
back on the cold storage st lct, which they
are using quite freely. How long they can
resist the outside influence remains to be
seem but Mt present they have succeeded in
curtailing the volume of trade.
In the New England and New York dairy
sections the ~hrinSage is no more than what
is usual ut this season but the West being the
leading source of supply, the shrinllagc there
must be felt here, ana ll receipts do not in.
crease fun asking prices will have to be paid.
Along with the decreased production in the
West, there is an increased cOnsumptlvc de-
mand, which - using mp Il great deal of the
fresh make California, too, is sending i'm
liberal orders and paying better rates than
can be obtained ON shipments in this section.
Boston is now behind all other leading mar.

asking rate outside for boxes, ana this was
the basis of most OF he sales made. hcceiV-
e1s believed they were justified i'm holding
Tor these figures, and buyers Will probably
operate moro freely later in the week It's Il
peculiar situation, but ut present sellers have
the advantage, because the supply is no more
than enough to meet the regular demand.
If receipts should increase, however, the
market would turn the other way.
The only change to note in the cheese mar
ket il Il little frmer tone on the part of hold
ers, owing TO the advance in butter and the
fact that fine september make is now coming

sales are confined to current wants, at 81 TO

over 9ll cents. Fair to good to cents.
Choice fresh Western eggs were in good
demand mt l7l5 to Is cents, with fine Michigan

LAST WEATHER-CRoP REPORT.
The Season Has Been Disappointing and
Discouraging rs a Whole.

The Season Has Been Disappointing and
Dscouraging rs a Whole.
The last report of the season has just
been sent out from the agricultural de-
partment. The following applies to
New England
The crop season Of 1897 is practically
at an end. Some harvesting yet remains
to be done, but in general all crops, ex-
cept late fruits, are now secured. The
week inst closed has been favorable for
gathering crops in many localities, while
in others the reverse is true. The first
killing frosts of the fall occurred in all
interior sections on the 22d, the mercury
falling below freezing at numerous
places. All tender vegetation was killed,
and late hardy crops were Injured to
some extent, although the majority of the
latter were beyoud damage.
On the whole the season has been dis
appointing and discouraging to farmers,
yet some lines of farm produce have
yielded very abundantly. The season
opened early and with the best of
promise, but unfavOrable conditions soon
developed and continued until nearly all
classes of crops were beyond recovery.
May and June were poor growing months,
owing to excessive rains, low tempera-
tural operations were suspended much of
the time. July gave several days of
warm, growing weather, followed by
well remembered excessive rains which
did great damage by "drOwning" plants,
preventing harvesting of rye and hay.
and causing potatoes to blight and rot,
August conditions we're nearly normal,
but the damage of the early season could
not be overcome.
Farmers who planted on dry ground
will receive as much money as usual for
their crops, but on low land much time
and fertilizer has been wasted. a prom
inent feature of the season is the poor
quality of most fruits; they generally
lack both flavor and sugar. Apples are a
very small crop, of poor quality; peaches
partial failure owing to blight; pears
and plums large yield; grapes poor;
berries, except strawberries, were abund-
ant. Potatoes have turned out to be
practically a failure. The first hay crop
was large in bulk, but very damaged in
harvesting. The crop of rowen was
extra good. Pastures have held out in
fine condition, and there has been no Oc-
casion for complaint of shortened water
supplies. The corn crop is light. Most
of the ear corn matured but did not fill
OuJ WClls OllOS were uStu W Il great "a
tent, and probably with profit. Grain
crops have been abundant, but off in
quality, although oats were good and
rye fair. Vegetables, such as tomatoes,
cucumbers, squash, etc, have not done
well in general. Onions are also below
the average.
The season is closing with fine weather.
Fall seeding is well along, and the top of
the ground is in good shape. Feed is
good, and stock in excellent condition.
Farmers are hopeful.
