E4DGEhION, wv lS, OCG, ~, LOW
The movement of buying the new crop
is being carried forward at a pretty
steady pace in most of the growing sec
tions and since the casing weather early
in the week, riding has been resumed
generally. Each week sees a good many
thousand acres contracted for and the
field pretty closely picked over for selec
tions. 1t is quite probable that two
thirds of the total crop Of the state has
now been sold to date and very large
proportion of what dealers count good
crops. Prices hold up strong and aver
age possibly better than the opening
sales, with indications that the balance
of the better goods will bring about the
present quotations.

LITTLE PROGRESS MADE TOWARD AN

effort was made to see where the differences
were merely Of phraseology and not of prin-

ton Of notes. Messrs. Brosius and Overstreet

greater volume of small notes than would be
given under the Senate restriction Of $40 The
need Of this was shown TO be particularly urgent
at the time OF moving the crops. A middle
ground was finally hit upon, by which 1t is esti-
mated that the notes of IS and under will not
be reduced below their present volume OF $780,
100000. The arrangement is felt to he salts

King Leopold as a Sailor.

King Leopold of Belgium is a good
sailor and a thorough yachtsman. The
king remains on deck during the worst
storms, when all the other passengers,
officers of the royal household and in.
vited guests seek refuge in their cab
ins. Lately the kings yacht the AL.
berta, had to remain twelve hours at
sea to avoid the danger of a lee shore.
The sea was so bad that even some
members Of the crew got sick and dis
couraged. The king remained on deck
and cheered them up. On board his
yacht Leopold speaks familiarly in
English with all his sailors who are
English, for he sails under the British
flag. Two footmen and a cook always
accompany the king of his cruise.

So much litter and dust are left be-
hind on London Bridge by the tramp
over it of 100000 pedestrians and the
rattle over it Of 10000 vehicles daily,
that three or four carts are required to
carry off the fine debris from leather
soles and iron tires. BY the incessant
traffic, it is said. twenty-five cubic
yards of granite are each year reduced
to powder. This affords a striking
Illustration of the wear and tear, the

A careful survey by experts from the
Department Of Agriculture Of the hur-

shows that the farmers lost 100000
bushels Of corn, 100000 bushels Of rice,
OS,OOO bales of cotton, 2,5OOOOO pounds
of pecans, 5000 trees, and farm animals
worth S45OOOO-in all an irreparable
property loss representing a value Of

greets him as he takes his place. A
minute later he rises to thank his
white friends for their presence at his
lowly board and apologies for "the
humble character of the fare" he is
about to set before them. Everybody
knows what that means. Then he
turns to the back of his chair and
strikes gong. Dozens of swift-footed
walters at once appear laden with
silver ice buckets filed with cham
pagne, port, sherry, Frontinac and n
variety of native wines. A hundred
young women follow with trays of
wine glasses and tumblers and in
few moments every guest is supplied.
Immediately the affair develops into
a feast magnificent enough for an old
Roman banquet hail. The women, i'm
ported from northern China for the oc-
casion, station themselves behind the
chairs of the guests and play stringed
instruments, singing an almost con-
tinuOus accompaniment. Flower girls
bearing sweet blossoms of the lchee
enter and twine garlands across the
tables, among chair backs, about the
flags and in the long line of lanterns.
The tables are rapidly spread with
food and a strange mixture of Oriental
and Occidental dishes it is. In addition
to roast beef, ham, chicken, turkey and
mutton, are dozens of Chinese deli
cacies, curries of every kind, sharks
fins, jellied eggs, picked fish, baked
hedgeboar, spitted rice birds, drawn
pelican meat, preserves Of all sorts,
mangoose, mangostines, paradise fruit
and dozens Of wonderful Chinese pud-
dings.

The different countries of Europe
hold different ideas as to the age when
responsibility begins and a person can
lbe regarded as knowing the meaning
of his actions. In England the law
looks upon everyone over the age Of
seven as a responsible being, and
every child beyond that age can be
prosecuted as a criminal. The same
age is accepted in Russia and Portugal.
In France and Belgium the age is
eight; in Italy and Spain it is nine;
Norway, Greece, Austria, Denmark
and Holland decline to prosecute a
child under ten, and this is the rule in
some of the Swiss cantons.

Great Britain, because for the time

chance Of success The British Ad-

the building Of enough ships, and it

Most women realize that they are
