across the seas. The rule has been
to send a mule-teer for every twenty
animals, so that 1900 citizens of
America have been shipped from
New Orleans and dumped in the
Transvaal. Had circumstances
been different, il would have been
fair to assume that the same men
made the trip many times, but this
supposition is negatived by the fact
that remuneration for services on
the voyage was fixed at lump
sum, and did not include return
passage.
There have been from first to
last several score of English army
officers add veterinarians in New
Orleans intrusted with the duty Of
purchasing, inspecting and shipping
the mules. At first each batch Of
officials was the object of much in
terest, but, as time went on, and
they pursued the even tenor of
their way, without even so much as
visiting the stock dealers of New
Orleans, their arrival ceased to be
of moment, and the last officers
have transacted their business and
without attracting much
notice.-Ex.

The temperature of the week was
moderate, being q trihe below nor
NAL. With the exception of scat
tered showers on the Sth and 9th
in the eastern and southern coun-
ties, and on the 18th in the vicin-
ity of Spokane, the weather con-
tinued dry The drought has now
become prolonged, there having
been no rain in many localities
sufficient to wet the ground since
July 5, a period of nearly six weeks.
Pastures are becoming dried up
and short, vegetation parched, the
water supply scant, and for many
reasons rain would be very desir-
able, but coming now in the midst
of harvest it would be disastrous.
Fall wheat cutting is nearly all
over, and threshing is we'll along.
The yield is far below expectations,
ranging in different localities from
considerable less than an average
crop to a little above the average.
The causes assigned for the short
age are rust and hot winds. Spring
wheat cutting is in progress; the
yield is, as stated in the preceding
bulletin, poor to fair. This was ex-
pected, on account of the injurious
effect of hot, dry winds during July.
The barley crop was almost a fail
ure from the same cause, and so
also was the oat crop in the eastern
counties. Reports of the oats in
the western counties have thus far
been good.
The sugar beets in Spokane coun-
ty were helped by showers. Hops
are doing we'll, both east and west
of the mountains, and are two
weeks earlier than last year. The
danger Of their being injured by
rain at maturity is thereby consid-
erably lessened. 1t is estimated
that the cutworms injured potatoes
in some parts of the western section
to the extent of one half of the crop.
Whole fields of cabbage and beets
were destroyed.

American Mules Abroad.

Since the commencing of hostil-
tiles in the Transvaal Great Brit.
ain has spent thousands Of pounds
in the United States for supplies.
Of that amount by far the greatest
portion has been invested in live
stock. The American mule has
been in demand for army purposes,
and cavalrymen have cried aloud
for the American horse. There is
no method ofcomputing the amount
of American grain or other food
stuffs which has been imported by
England and then shipped into the
Transvaal, but the stock dealers of
the Mississippi valley and of the
west have kept pretty accurate
stab" on the number of animals
which have passed through the
Transyaal
In round numbers, about $4,000
mules, bred on the plains of Mis-
souri, and Kansas for the most part,
and about 5000 horses which first
saw the light on the plains Of the
west, have been loaded into British
transports and sent to the South
African front. At the outset the
stock could be had at very reason

on and the demand showed no
signs of slackening, the astute deal.
er hoisted his prices, and it is not
exaggerating to say that, head fol

apiece and the horses G15.
In the beginning vessels were
sent to New Orleans, which hac

however, and the latter-day trans

of Blockley, his feats in the art of hurry
ing have yet to beat those of Mr.. Hobbs
of BoXted Lodge, Essex, and Mr.. Edward
Miller of March, Cambridge, in the early
| fifties. and Mr.. Mock of Bridgnorth, Salop,
in the late sixties, in the same line.
The student of the art of hurrying will
probably discover If he looks closely into
the subject, that modern science is shown
to better advantage as a destroyer than
as builder; we can turn a tree into pulp
and then into newspaper in less than three
hours al a pinch, but we very much doubt
whether many people would follow the ex-
ample of certain Berkshire baronet, who
many years ago bet 100 guineas that he
would dine at o'clock in a suit of clothes
made from wool which had been growing
on the Sleeps back the same day. AS the
bet was covered, the exponent Of the art
of hurrying directed that operations should
begin al o'clock with the washing of
sufficient sheep to provide the necessary
wool; the living mutton was then bereft
of natures overcoat and the wool carried
to a neighboring factory, from which it
was returned aS cloth late in the after
noon, but early enough to permit of
tailor and his assistants cutting out the
wagerers evening suit and sewing the va
rious pieces together in plenty of time for
him to don it preparatory to sitting down
to his evening meal.
Where the present age excels in the art
of hurrying is in matters appertaining 70
machinery, and in this respect the IAN
GENTS are left lingering long way in
the rear. Some little time ago the Com
pagnie Franchise des Chemins de Fer de
rEst built up, piece by piece locomotive
in the short space of fifty-six hours, but
even this exhibition Of the art of hurry
ing, which caused some excitement In
France failed by a very considerable mar
gin of time to equal that set up by the
London and Northwestern railway. so far
back as twenty-five years ago, inasmuch
as the latter company, at its Crewe works,
built up a six-wheeled goods engine in
twenty-five and a half hours. At the pres
ent moment the engine-building record is
held by the Great Eastern Company, which
nine years ago succeeded in putting togeth-
e. locomotive and tender of the goods
type in thirteen minutes under ten hours.
To accomplish the feat eighty-five men were
employed on the engine and fifty-two on
the tender; the various component parts
had, of course. been arranged and placed
to hand previous to the task being entered
upon, but, even admitting this. 1t was, in
deed, a marvellous feat practically to COM
plete the engine by dinner time and have
her painted and engaged in a trial spin
within the space of ten hours For nine
years this record has held good and there
are, no signs as yet that any attempt will
be made. to beat it, either on this side of
the Atlantic or -the other, very strange
state of affairs in this co-called age of
hurry; perhaps the Teuton, when tired Of
breaking the Atlantic record, will turn his
attention to this particular feat, and pro-
coed to break it. The prospect Is terrible
for continental travellers.

The First Trousers.
From St. Nicholas.


The first pantaloons or trousers were
made in Assyria. In the reign of King AS
shurzirpaI fSS3-S5S b. CO horses were in
troduced in the army as cavalry. Here,
now. was a problem; the cavalryman had
to have some sort of a uniform, and it was
impossible for him to wear a skirt and ride
astrde a horse. The. taiorS to- his mai
esty's armies wagged their heads long
time over this problem, and finally decided
that the only way out of the difficulty was
to cut the cavalryman's skirt from hem to
waistband in both front and rear letting
each part fall on its respective side of the
horse. AS can readily be imagined, this
split skirt made an exceedingly poor article
of clothing. The law of heredity, however,
is full Of surprises this humble apology for
garment was destined to be the father of
the original pantaloons. The mind of the
tailor has ever been a small one. 1t is
likely that even then, as now. 1t took mine
tailors to make man." At any rate, it
took the tailors of Assyria over a century
to solve the problem of the horsemens
clothing why not" said one of these
workers with the needle and shears. sew
together the edges of each division of the
skirt and thus form a separate skirt for
each leg?"-or, in other words, he invented
a pair Of pantaloons.

The interesting disclosure is made that
the cost of living is less in the United
States today than 1t was in 1860. Carefully
compiled statistics show that articles cost
ing 500 then cost only $50 now. 1t Is true
that few things are more expensive, but
commodities consumed generally by fam
lilies, such as .breadstuffs sugar, rice, salt.
wcolen and cotton goods, boots and shoes
and silk and rubber goods are considerably
cheaper now than they were thirty years
ago. All manufa ctured goods, with hardly
an exception, are cheaper mainly because
of improved, processes of manufacture
which enable the maker to reduce the cost
