OUR GREAT GRAIN CROP.

The grain crop of the United States
and its condition are of interest to the
entire world, We not only raise enough
grain to feed ourselves, but also ship
large quantities abroad to feed the peo-
pie of other nations. The condition
of our crop influences the markets very
largely. Big crops here mean cheap
breadstuffs the world over, while short
crops have the reverse effect. The De
partment Of Agriculture has compiled
the July grain crop report, which shows
that there is a reduction of per cent
in the acreage OF corn, that the wheat
prospects are unusually gratifying and
that the average OF oats is high.
The figures given out by the depart
ment are based on preliminary returns
to the statistician Of the Department
of Agriculture on the acreage Of corn,
and indicates a reduction Of per cent.
from the area harvested last year
There is a decrease of SOP, 900 acres in
Illinois, Of SO3 900 in Iowa, OF 661 900 in
Missouri, of 722, 900 in Kansas and OF
4S2 900 in Nebraska. Many other states
likewise show a reduced acreage, but
a majority Of the Southern states re-
port an increase, ranging from pei
cent. in the case Of North Carolina and
Georgia to per cent. in that of Texas
The average condition, 9O.5, although
7.6 points higher than the condition 70
the corresponding date Of last year, il
with the exception Of 1892 and 1S9
the lowest July condition in ten years
the average for that period being 91-9
Conditions vary widely among the dif
ferent states. Iowa reporting 100; Ne
braska and Ohio 80; Kansas and Iii
nois, SO, and Missouri, rs.
The condition Of Winter wheat, SSi
is 81 points lower than last month, bu
is still AS points higher than at IN
corresponding date last year, and g.
points higher than the average for tn
past ten years. The principal stat
averages are as follows: Pennsylvani,
81; Maryland, SO, tennessee, 30; Mi
souri,, 6s; Kentucky, 90; Ohio, S'
Michigan, 9S; Indiana, "a; Illinois, 81
Kansas, SO, and California. 40.
The average condition ofSpringwhe;
is 95. This is SS points higher tina
at. the corresponding date last year,
62 above the average for the past q
years, and is the highest July averag
with two exceptions. in thirteen year
The principal state averages are as fC

POLITICAL NOTES

Harry Whiteman, of this city, for
merly secretary of the Union Republi-
can State Central Committee, and the
man who made the principal address
at the Opera House meeting in Dover
at the time OF the fight between Hig-
gins and Addicks for the United States
senatorship, has severed his connection
with the Addicks party. He says that
he does not countenance what his for
mer colleagues are doing and that if
they persist in their blundering and
ruinous course all hope Of redeemine
the state from Democratic rule thit
Fall will be lost.

MORSE MUST RETURN.

The absence Of Henry G. Morse, who,
it is said, has the naming of Postmas-
ter Moore's successor, will result in
not having the place filled this month.
Postmaster Moore continues to hold the
office, but he was in hopes that his
successor would have been named be-
fore now, as he had planned, in com
pany with ex-Mayor Jefferis and party,
to make a fishing trip to Canada on
July 26. On account of his successor not
being naced he will probably alter his
plans.

The Morning News lets the cat out Of
the bag without seeming to know It.
In its local story concerning the meet
ing OF the so-called Republican City
Committee last evening It says: THE
meeting OF the Republican City Com
mittee was poorly attended last night.
Most Of the Regular Republicans were
present, but few Union men were at the
meeting" There Is a refreshing frank
ness about this statement. II is not
detailed, nor does it go into the why's
and wherefores. but it tells the truth
the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth. AS a matter OF fact, the Union
Republican committeeman have re-
ceived orders to remain away frem the
meetings Of the Republican City Com
mittee, and most OF them respect the
injunction.

BIJoU THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA

Miss May Irwin, the idOl of all those
who go to the theatre TO enjoy a good
wholesome laugh, is spending the sum
mer months on the St. Lawrence. She
owns her own steam yacht, and as she
insists on being her own pilot. she is
afforded infinite amusement in study
ing the topography of the Thousand
Islands. Every time she leaves her
Robinson Crusoe retreat she is sure to
lose her way and land on one Of the
other 999 instead Of her Own-"all is
lands look alike to May" At present
she owns only one of them, so in order
to avoid trespassing she is thinking OF
buying in the rest.

IN THE MEXICAN HOUSEHOLD.

/
The arrangement Of furniture is
much more formal than in the United
States. It is a very common sight to
see , splendidly furnished parlOr with
a row of straight-backed chairs all
alike with their backs against the wall
and as close together as they can be
placed clear around the room.
Heavy single doors, such as are used
in the United States. are practically
unknown in Mexican houses either at
entrances or between interior rooms
All doors open in the middle and are
fastened with bolts top and bottom.
Exterior doors are always fitted with
glass panels, for they also serve as
windows. All such doors opening on
the street or open court are fitted win
solid shutters that are folded at the
sides out of sight when not in use.
A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress of the house of worry ana re-
sponsibility in a manner that is alm9sl
unknown in the United States. The
cook is given SO much day, and win
this amount she will purchase each
morning an the provisions for the day.
including even the staples that are
usually bought in large quantities IN
other countries. On a dollar day
cook will provide very good table lot
family of three or four, and get
enough beans and tortillas and chile
to set the servants table besides. Iney
can really do better than their mis- mis-
tresses. because they can usually urlVe
sharper bargains with the marketnen
of their class. and they have more pa
tfence to haggle over the last penny
