County and State.

Counterfeit silver dollars are in cir
culation in the towns along the Michigan
Indiana state line near Niles, and it is
thought that the coins are being made
somewhere in the vicinity
Apples are going to be as high as
peaches this fall. The product of
one orchard of thirty acres near Hart
ford has been sold for $1,000 cash, the
purchaser to do all the work of picking
and shipping. Free Press.
The Michigan crop report for July says
"The 1899 crop of wheat will easily prove
to be the poorest for many years. In
most of the counties the yield is no bet
ter than was anticipated some time ago.
Not only that, but where much thrashing
has been done the quality has also been
found to be poor. The estimated average
yield per acre is, in the southern coun-
ties seven bushels, in the central counties
seven bushels, in the northern counties
ten bushels and for the state eight bush
els. 1t is difficult to determine from these
figures what the crop will amount to in
bushels. Conditions this year are so
different from what they usually are that
it is difficult to fix the amount of the
crop, even approximately. The large per
cent of the total acreage was plowed up
this spring and later on many fields were
cut for hay. The total acreage this
spring was 100000 acres. With state
average at eight bushels per acre 1T
would indicate crop of 100000 bush
els. When other factors are taken into
consideration crop of only 100000
bushels is indicated. The large crop of
last year continued to grow larger as
threshing progressed. 1t is possible that
the small crop of this year may continue
to grow smaller"

"Women who regard II as their chief

and devote days I'm dress, not realiz-
ing that one-half this time spent in
cultivating their minds and in acquir-
ing the ability to talk would accom-
plish the same purpose i'm far great

dy In the Home Companion. "In the
first place. in order to talk agreeably
ii Is requisite to have something to
talk about. You can not draw water
from a well where no water is, there
fore you must cultivate your mind
through reading and observation. Ac-
custom yourself TO talk about what
you see and read. 1t is mistake not
to talk to the people of your own fam
lily; many a one has grown taciturn
from considering II not worth while to
entertain the home folks. Let the hab-
Ii Of storytelling be cultivated; you
can not lack for auditors while you
have children among your acQuaint-
ance. You will find that by so doing
your mental and lingual faculties will
be strengthened. Keep yourself in
touch with the questions OF the day; TO
d. this give a few moments to the;
newspaper every morning. Always
find out whether the person whom you
are TO entertain prefers to speak or to
listen, and govern yourself according
ly. Avoid as far as possible all un-
pleasant subjects, and endeavor 10 dis

companions With some persons this
faculty amounts TO intuition; with 9TH
ers 1t is laboriously acquired, but it in
variably grows by exercise Talk of
things. and not of people; gossip is not
conversation. Never talk much of
yourself nor your own affairs; II is in
bad form, and generally it bores your
hearer. Avoid, also, unkind and CEN
serious observations about other peo-
pie, and never, If you can help it,
make personal remarks. unless they
are something in the nature of a deli
cate compliment; thus you will avoid
treading on your neighbors' corns."

unton's Magazine for August.

fiom 1uhtoh = Wak"<ihS tof august
At that time 1884 the free trade
journals in the land furiously denounced
Mr.. Havemeyer as low, selfish monopo-
list, corrupter of Legislators and de
baucher of public morals. His opinion
on the tariff or any other public question
was then regarded by the press as of no
more account than the drawings of a
cheap politician or cunning monopo-
list. Nothing has occurred since to in
dicate that Mr.. Havemeyer is either
more intelligent, more public spirited or
more honest now than he was in 1894.
But now, when he appears before the
Industrial commission and declares that
the tariff is 1.-The mother of all trusts" /"
his utterance is hailed as from one who
speaks er cathedra. If he believes that
trusts are really bad thing, then he is
a disreputable man for being at the head
of one. If he does not believe that, then
he is humbug for saying what he did.
If trusts are legitimate and proper con-
Germs, as he afterwards endeavored to
show, then it would be nothing against
the tariff if it were the mother of them
all. 1t is public benefit to be the
mother of good thing.

China's Empress.

The Empress Dowager Of China is
described by an English lady as a re-
markable person. She Is an ardent
painter, and her pictures are fine speci-
mems OF Chinese art. She Is well read,
Is fond ot European music, and has
some skill as a pianist. Strange as 1t
may seem, her majesty Is fond OF
wrestling, and frequently INDUCES in
this rough exercise. Finally, she Is
absolutely without fear, although her
life has been att mpted dozen times.
No wonder such n woman can rule In
place OF the real emperor.
