Corn 10 King! Long live the King!
The latest report from statistician Snow
places an estimate 90 the corn crop Of
the country for this year something
over 2. 1850, UOO. 200 bushels. These figures
are exceedingly gratifying to those
states whose prosperity is largely de-
pendent upon its corn crop. Going
somewhat into detail Mr.. Snow says
that the increase over last year, which
was also year Of good crops In the corn
belt, is especially notable 10 Kansas and
Nebraska. The railroad estimate OF the
size Of tho corn crop this year 10 800. OOO..
ono bushels for each OF these states, .
crop ~ large that II will tax the carrying
capacity Of the railroads entering their
territory. 1t 10 also estimated that the
crop 10 Illinois vii, be 60 large that It
will make tho problem Of handling It
diflcult one. Last year the figures for
Kansas were l33 900, 900 bushels and for
Nebraska l59 900. 600 bushels. Showing
how large is the increase 10 each state
over last year, the estimate for Iowa
shows falling of for this year being
219.O00,0 600 bushels 90 against 255. OOO, 900
for last year. This estimate, however,
has been criticised by local authorities.
Missouri's crop is estimated this year az
179.O00,OOO bushels against 1855 900. 900
last year. Illinois, estimate shows q
gain OF 100000 bushels, while In Ohio
and Indianns-the eastern end OF the
corn belt-there is eight falling of
from last years crops. All in all this
seems generally q favorable year for
agriculture, and 90 tbe3prosperity Of or

for great rejoicing 10 the states where

NEW LUGGAGE FOR MEN.
A Hat Case Holding Four Hats and
Cases for Shoes on Trees.

Hat Case Holding Four Hats and
Cases for Shoes on Trees.
The newest thing in mems travelling
hat boxes is one made to carry four
hats. The old and common style of
leather hat box with faring sides, made
to carry a silk hat, has long been ia
miliar, as has also become what may
be described as the two-story hat box,
made to carry a derby as we'll as a silk
hat by adding narrow, straightsided
section rising above the flaring part
OF the box. There is also q hat box
made for silk hats that is square
cube-shaped. The four-hat box, made
to carry a silk hat, fedora, derby
and straw hat, is in the form of a
deep dress suit case and flied with two
bowls, as the hat holders are called,
one to hold the silk hat and the fedora,
and the other the derby and the straw;
the bowls are removable, so that on
occasion this case may be used for the
purpose of suit case or to carry shirts
in. Mems trunks have long been made
with suitable compartments for shoes,
and there are made also sole leather
cases for travelling use designed espe-
cially for the carrying of the travellers
boots and shoes only. There are now
made sole leather cases cited to carry
shoes on threes. These are made in
two sizes, four-pair case and an
eight-pair. The dress suit case, long
since popularity established in use for
the purposes of travelling bag, as
we'll as for that whicS it's name i'm
plies, was early taken UP as travel
ing bag by women a:so. There are
now made dress suit cases of lighter
weight, having a. lighter frame and
made of lighter leather, that are espe-
cially designed for women.-New York

.ARTER AND SALE IN GIRLS.

Dlnerent Views Of English Writers Upon
This Interesting Subject.
English writer's are again pounding
away at the old assertion that in what
is known as society girls are given by
their parents to the husbands who have
the most money, says the Louisville
Commercial. Ella Hepworth Dixon,
however, has different views. Instead
OF the men being bidders" she claims
that the supposedly coy young women
occupy that position. She says: ut
Is an open secret, indeed, that most
OF the bidding is done on the side of
the maidens. The marrying young
man has become so scarce and the
charms of bachelor life so manifold
that Hebe herself would hardly have
an attractive offer nowadays unless
she were provided with a handsome
dowry. More than often Hebe's faith
er has to pay my gentleman's debts
before the requisite ceremony at St.
Paups enables the young lady to pro-
vide her new husband with an income.
There is a fixed scale, I understand,
which regulates the price of husbands.
1t is a notorious fact that the man
who succeeds in getting into parlia-
ment has enhanced his value threefold
as marketable commodity. A colonel
of the hussars, even though indiffer-
emily we'll preserved, is worth from
$1,000 to $4,000 a year, though he can
not hope for handsome settlements.
Peers and their eldest sons are ruin
!ously dear, owing to the recent strong
American competition. English bar
onets, too, command fairly good
price. The modern benedict, indeed,
requires to be handsomely compensat-
ed for assuming the responsibilities OF
family life. The young man sometimes
fights shy, even up to the wedding
morn; but in the end, If the settle
ments are satisfactory, he succumbs.
He is measured by his relatives-anu
especially by his bride's-his bachelor
friends assume a false cheerfulness,
and he is sometimes seen driving on,
with wife and glossy brown .portman-
teau, half dazed and covered with rice,
before he has quite realized that ne
has been put up for auction and pur-
chased for cash down. The penniless
young girl of good family, however
pretty, may make up her mind to spin
sterhood in our ungallant~ society OF
today. There are no ogre-like pashas
peering around to offer a fair price.
She may be charming, clever and at
tractive, but she has, alas! no market
value at all. Youth and beauty are so
common that they arouse but little
ENTHUSIASM. Many men regard we'll
bred young girl as an unmitigated

SPY MANIA IN FRANCE.

Annoyance to Which visitors to tho
French Capital Are Put: w.: s :. :
I had already been living perma-
nently in London for several years and
1t was only five years later that took
up my residence once more in Paris,
although I never gave up my home
here. During the whole of the 7Os,
however, I crossed the channel fire.
Quently, and always stayed at the
same hotel. For nearly a quarter OF
century I have never stayed else
where while on a~visit to Paris. In
spite of this the proprietor had on two
different occasions to bear the severe
cross-examination Of an inspector OF
the service special des garnis." The
first time he wanted to know why my
name was so conspicuously like that Oh
the son of the postmaster general OF
the second empire IN. Albert VandaD;
the next time he was anxious to ascer:
tain ii was distant or near connec-
ton of the famous Gen. Vandamme,
although, in both cases, he could see
Tor himself that the name on the reg
lister was spelled quite differently from
theirs. The manager, not French
man, pointed this out to him, adding
that a man like myself was probably
competent to spell his own name, and
that If he, the inspector, wished for
more ample information he could apply
either to the English embassy, an Eng
fish banker on the Boulevard des ltal-
lens (since deceased) or any Of the
English correspondents in Paris, at all
of which places L was known. The
officials retort was characteristic OF
the spirit Of the time, as showing the
value" he, and presumably his supe-
riors, placed upon all testimony affect
ing no matter whom, which did not
tally with their jaundiced views. I'VE
do not believe in embassies and bank
ers, and still less in foreign CORE
spondents," he said. 1.-THE most shady
people have, as a rule, the best Gre
dentials." The latter sentence was, no
doubt, based upon certain though by
no means conclusive experience, ar
rived at by the higher functionarles OF
the prefecture of police. It had been
rehearsed, perhaps many time and
oft, for the inspectors benefit, mas"
much as it had become stereotyped
phrase with nearly every one of the
second and third rate newspapers. The
inspector, though, was too stupid to
invert the proposition to himself,
hence, in his mind, the people provided
with the best credentials were the
most shady.-Fortnightly Review.

A Frightful Accent.

When Lord Morris was chief justice

the registrar of the court, "who is this
newcomer" "His name is Clements,
my lord" "What part of the coon
thry does he hail from, in the name
of all that's wundherful?" asked the
judge. County Antrim, my lord"
was the reply. "Well, Well!'''> said the

A certain Mr.. Hunter-Cbase, q writer of

Chase himself ia bitterly opposed to the
stage. but his wife finds way to accom-

Genowin has recently married the lead

posed 10 having married people in his
company, both Tom and Dorothy are
living in deadly terror lest their manag-
er discover their marriage and they lose
their eDgt gements. Tom is a'so an
author. having written a play c.lled
"Vanity . Victim" This play has been
