CROP BULLETIN.

JULY %, 1901.
This week afforded no relief from
the excessive heat prevalent the
preceding week aud larger part of
the month. The past two weeks
have broken all previous records of
sustained high temperature for SO
long a period in this State. The
mean at the Central Station has
been eighty-six degrees, and the
average OF maximum temperature
about one hundred for the fourteen
days. Numerous stations report
one hundred and seven on the 10th
and 2lst, and one station one humid
red and nine on the 2lst. During
several days brisk to high winds
blew, but the hot winds have not
been so high nor destructive as in
July, 1894. Some mitigation of the
torrid condition was afforded by
scattering showers in portions of
the eastern and north central dis
tricts, but the drouth has not been
broken. The reports indicate that
early corn in the tasseling stages
has suffered material damage in all
parts OF the State, and especially in
the southern and eastern districts.
Late planted corn on deep rich soil
is showing much less injury, and
copious rains within week would
brighten the outlook for about
three-fourths of a crop. The extent
of actual loss cannot be estimated
at this time. Harvesting small
grain is nearly completed and the
threshing is in progress. Pastures
potatoes, apples and garden truck
show continued deteriorations.

The Third Handle

The best account of the origin Of the
loving cup comes from the late Lord
Lyons, British ambassador at Paris
Henry " OF France while hunting be-
came separated from his companions
and, feeling thirsty, called at wayside
inn for a cup of wine. The serving
maid on handing it to him as he sat on
horseback neglected to present the han
ole. Some wine was spilled, and his
majesty's white gauntlets We're soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that a two handled cup would prevent
a recurrence of this, so his majesty
had a two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent it to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine, when. to his astonishment, the
maid, having received instructions
from her mistress to be very careful of
the kings cup, presented it to him by
holding it herself by each Of it's han
dies. At once the happy idea struck
the king of cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said, Surely, out Of
three handles / shall be able to get
one" Hence the loving cup.

The English Are unmilitary,

Partly from historical and partly per-
haps from racial causes the English
are essentially unmilitary. They resent
the control of soldiers. They distrust
military ideals. No government that
ever existed in this country was more
unpopular than that of Oliver Cromwell
and his major generals. Its unpopu-
larity left an indelible mark on English
institutions. For many years it made
1t impossible to have standing army.
Even when the course Of events made
1t necessary to concede that much to
the military necessities of the time it
still remained maxim for centuries
with all politicians that as little power
as possible must be granted to the SOL
diers; that their business was to fight
our wars, and, this being done, that
there was little or no place for them in
the body polite.
We do not think it necessary to de-
fend this attitude of mind. Like most
popular feelings, it is largely unjust,
but also, like many popular feelings, it
is based to some extent on true con-
ception. Politically, using the word in
its largest sense, the domination of the
military idea in state is calamitous.
1t tends, we believe. to destroy individ-
uality and is a serious menace to indi-
vidual liberty. = English Monthly Re

MANY years ago." writes a New
Hampshire clergyman in the Boston
Journal, cit was the custom to store
liquors in church cellars in Boston;
not all of them, but many Of them.
AS late as 1850, and probably later, the
cellar of the stone church on Bowdoin
square was used by the Trull distillery
near by pitts street. if l am right for
the ripening in hogsheads of New Eng

book in pew and copied in there the
following verse:
"'here are spirits above and spirits below,
The spirits of love and the spirits of Woe
The spirits above the spirits of love;
The spirits below the spirits of woe.
The spirit above is the spirit divine;
The spirits below are the spirits of wine.
81 have myself frequently watched
the men putting hogsheads of rum into
the cellars or taking them out"
