OUT AND ABOUT.

A delightful evening is anticipated
Thursday, when the Harvard male
quartette gives a concert at Old South
church for the C. E. society. The quar-
tette is composed Of Mr. Phillips, MIR.
Boyd, Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Bartlett.
Henry Church Sanderson of Worcester
has been engaged for the reader and
an excellent program will be presented.
The kindergarten entertained the
Child Study circle I'd the G. Stanley
Hall club yesterday afternoon at the
house OF Mrs. H. Winfield Wyman. Dr.
Edith Clarke was in charge of the pro-
gram, which comprised a talk on "EA-
element and fatigue" by George E.
Partridge of Clark university, and two
songs from Stevenson's "Child's Garden
of Verses" set to music by De E~oven,
and sung by Mrs o. w. Judd of West
boro. Mrs. r. F. Holton of Westboro
played the accomplishments.
Mr.. Partridge spoke of fatigue as the
normal result of activity, and explained
some Of the methods devised for meas
uring it. Fatigue, he said, was accoIn-
panied by the throwing off of a poison
by the nervous system, and Of the
shrinkage or decay, of the nervs cells.
The way we fatigue is as characteristic
of US as our faces or bodies. Muscle
fatigue is really nerve fatigue, aud pco-
pie frequently make the mistake when
nervously debilitated, of taking active
exercise, in the be4ef thaSthereby they
are resting. Frequently muscular ac-
tivity is the worst form Of activity fer
the nervous man. With regard to the
fatirge of children, Mr.. Partridge said
th4t, though we can measure it rough
~, it is still mystery. Yet it presents
a very serious problem that cannot be
treated too seriously. Every inmate of
an insane asylum has at some time been
a pupil of a public school. Mr.. Part
ridge spoke in this connection Of SEC
ond breath" and the data collected by
Clark university on this point. Other
phases of this interesting question were
presented by the speaker, who was fire.
Quently interrupted by the questions of
the ladies. Mrs. r. P. Watkins, as pres
ident Of the kindergarten opened the
meeting. The president of the Child
Study circle is MrG Clarence White.

P.ri. Exposition Buiid,nes.

A Paris dispatch says: The exceed
ingly mild weather prevailing here
thus far this winter may be bad for
the city's health, but 1t certainly Is
good for the coming expedition. Even
before the strike of the masons last
summer the architects admitted that
they were behind In their work on the
great stone buildings that will be the
center Of the worlds fair of 1000, but
this open season has enabled them to
make up for lost time. Now nearly
all the heavy labor is done on the per-
manent structures supplanting the old
Palais de rIndustrIe. Between the
Champs Elysees and the Seine some
parts of the roof are almost completed.
and already one can get fair idea of
the strikingly beautiful effect to be
presented by this portion of the expo
sition grounds. The greatest activity
now reigns everywhere throughout the
grounds, and there no longer remains
any doubt that the site will be ready
In ample time.

PROSPERITY DAWNINo.
Statistics for 1893 Present q Remarkable
showing,

showing.
The farmers of this country made
more money In 1903 than ever before
in its history. The forthcoming statis-
tical report from the Department Of
Agriculture will show unprecedented
crops, unprecedented prices and un-
precedented prosperity. The corn crop
in 1896 amounted to 2,2S3, ,S75, ,1G5 BUSH
els, valued at S449,276,O3O; in 1897 1t
was 1,0O2,9GT ,033 bushels, valued at
$5O1 ,OT2,952. In 1898, according to
present estimates, the volume was not
only largely increased, but the farm
value of corn throughout the country
averages "a cents bushel more than
in 1897.
The wheat crop In 1896, at - cents
n bushel, was valued at S427, 1854, ,346;
in 1897, at sos per bushel, it was val
ued at $42S.547. .121. The increase in
1858 was 1.4l1 ,G02 acres, the largest in
history, and the crop was unprecedcnt-
ed in quality. quantity and price.
The barley crop In 1897 was worth
SO. 142. 130 at 81 cents bushel. The
figures for 1893 are not in yet, but the
price of Ala cents bushel and the
preliminary report shows crop slight
ly above the average. The same may
be said of rye, which is quoted ut 4G.3
The farm price for oats in 1898, ac-
cording to the official figures of the
Agricultural Department, is 25.6 cents
a bushel, against 21.2 for 1897, and 1876
in 1896. The totals are not In yet. but
in 1897 the crop was valued at STAT
9T4,719.
Potatoes are now worth 41.4 cents a
bushel on the farm, which is a large
falling Off from 1897. when they sold
for 54.7 cents, but 1t is said that the DIFF
ference will be more than made up by
the increase in the volume of the crop,
which is believed to be twenty-one per
cent. greater than in 1897. when the to-
tai was valued at $S9.643,O50.
The hay crop of the United States in
1897 was valued at S4O1 $3.50, ,72S, with
hay selling at $6.62 ton. In 1898 the
crop was the best OH record, and 1t Is
selling at an average Of So a ton
throughout the country.
During the calendar year ended De-
cember 31st the value of the breadstufrs
sold abroad was $317, 100000. provis-
ions $174. 900. 900. and cotton, 1898 ,OOO,-
600, making total of $724, 1000. 600
worth Of farm products exported and
sold at better prices than were ever
known before.

Grating the English Walnut.

A correspondent from Dover, Della
ware, desires to know whether any one
has attempted to graft the English
walnut on the black walnut or butter
nut. If successful many grove OF
black walnuts could be turned into
great profit.
1t is said that in the vicinity of Ho-
mosassa, Florida large plantations are
being made of the English walnut
These plantations have not yet come
into bearing, and the healthy, vigorous
growth is all that can be desircd.-

Emperor w,,l,.m's Caro..

Each year Emperor William o7cers
from his stationer 10000 visiting
cards. Those which the latter nas just
supplied his imperial patrcn for the
new year differ from all previous pro-
ductions even to the point Of absurdi-
ty. The card, which Is Of "bristol
glace." quite as thick as cardboard,
is about foot long by four Inches
wide. Engraved upon this verltable
placard is simply the word "Wilhelm"
in very large gothic letters, and be-
meath, in somewhat smaller charac-
ters, is emperor of Germany and
King of Prussia"

Baltimore & ohio.

From time to time articles appear
in various papers about the so-called
"Hill control" of Baltimore & Ohio,
together with exhaustive details Of
various struggles which are supposed
to be in progress between Mr.. Hill
and other people in the Baltimore &
Ohio board. The details OF these strug-
giles are very interesting. but are open
to the criticism that they have no ex-
istence in fact. The plain facts of the
matter are, first that Mr.. Hill does not
control Baltimore & Ohio. nor has he
at any time expressed any desire or
taken any steps in that direction;
second, that there has at no time been
any differences of opinion between Mr..
Hill and the Baltimore & Ohio people
with regard to a selection of general
manager, the selection Of Mr.. Under
and third, that the delay in regard to
Mr.. Underwood's acceptance of the
general managership of Baltimore &
Ohio was due to matters connected
with the 500 Line more than anything
else.
It Is pretty well understood here
that Mr.. Hill was invited to interest
himself in Baltimore & Ohio. on the
theory that he could be of great ser
vice to the property as an adviser. and
to this end he. with some of his
friends, purchased substantial inter-
est in the preferred stock of the
company. This interest is nowhere
near q controlling interest, but is still
very large. It may be said without
fear of contradiction, that there is en-
tire harmony in Baltimore & Ohio
circles from top to bottom.
