somewhat irregular is IN the main fav-
orable. The smaller yield of winter wheat
seems at the present moment likely TO be
partly made up for by an increased yield
of corn, and spring wheat prospects,
though impaired somewhat by too much
rain, are regarded as encouraging. GOOD
weather throughout the country has al
lowed a rather better out-turn in winter
wheat than was looked for earlier, and
general rains throughout the South have
helped the cotton crop situation, while rice
and sugar have also measurably improved.
The closing week of the half-year finds
special strength and activity in iron, lum-
Der and wool and wooden goods, the lat
ter industry having at last apparently be-
gun to share In the prevailing prosperity.
A feature Of interest In this connection is
the advancing prices Of fine woods abroad,
which seems 90 insure, temporarily, at
least, a foreign market for considerable
high grade domestic wool. Manufac-
tured fabrics share in this strength, but
manufacturers are not credited with hav-
ing stocks of raw material.
Confidence in a good fall trade Is evil
denced by reports coming from many mar
kets of good orders already booked, the
volume of such business already done vary
ing from 10 to 30 per cent. in excess of
last year, which, il may be recalled, was
quite a satisfactory one in this respect.

MINERS HAVE COME TO TERMS.
Alabama Coal ShOveIers VIII Now
Return to Work.

Return TO Work.
Birmingham, Ala, June 3O.-After con-
ference of ten days the coal miners of Ala
bama and the operators came to an agree
ment this afternoon in regard to the scale
of wages to be paid during The coming
year. Both sides made some concessions.
The main features of the scale are as fol-
lows:
The minimum rate to be paid is Is cents
with iron selling at IS and under, and the
maximum rate is IS cents with iron at $l1
and over. The day laborers in the mines
get an advance Of ten, twelve and fifteen
per cent, varying according to advances
received several months ago. The idea is
10 give them a p per cent. increase alto
gether, over the wages they were receiv-
ing a year ago when iron was selling for
81 10 and under. The laboring day will re-
main as at present-ten hours. Blue Greek
gets an advance of two cents in its scale.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

From the New York Press.
When bliss is ignorance It is wise to be
foolish.
Some girls who look thin have a way Of
hinting around that you wouldn't think
so IL you knew all.
Half the women who go wrong never
wanted to; they only wanted to see how
near they could get without going wrong.
II wicked women could only add to their
arts the mysterious charm Of innocence
every man in the world would go 10 the
devil.
No matter how poor job a woman
makes Of IL with her own husband, she Is
always sure that if she got right down
to It she could love a man into a state Of
collapse.

Bangkok, an Eastern Venice.

Bangkok, Siam, is variously called
by those people who revel in compar-
isons, the "Venice of the East" and
the "Constantinople of Asia;" in the
first instance, because of the man v

in the second, because of the hun
dreds of wretched and owner less pa

impunity. There is much truth in
both comparisons. Certainly, Bang
kok is the home of the gaunt and
ugly pariah dog, which spends it's life
foraging and getting just enough to
keep life in it's NANCY carcass, multi
plying meantime with the fecundity
of cats and tropical cline, because
Buddhist's doctrine forbids its kill
ing. Outcast dogs are not the only
pests whose multiplication in Bang
kok may be charged to Buddhism:
