CROP BULLETIN.
Rams Throughout the State Revive
Crops-Corn Damaged.

Nashville, Aug. 21.-Mai. H. G.
Bate, of the local Weather Bureau, has
issued the following crop bulletin
giving the general condition of the
crops over the State for the week end
ing Monday, Aug. 10;
During the week rains fell almost
daily throughout the State, some of
them heavy and damaging causing
nigh waters and floods in lowlands,
which wrought much injury to crops
and soil and fencing. On the 18th high
winds did great damage by prostrating
corn and other standing crops. The
rains thoroughly saturating the soil,
effectually broke the long and disas-
trous drouth, and gave late crops a
wonderful revival of growth and devel-
opment, and at the close Of the week
conditions are much improved, and
prospects for a good outcome are excel
lent this is especially true of the late
paintings of corn, also cotton, tobacco,
peas millet, sorghum garden products,
potatoes melons and meadows. To-
bacco looks fine except in places where
it has been overfowed. Cotton stood
the drouth remarkably we'll and the
rains have given it new impetus of
growth, but it is still shedding its fruit
altogether however, the prospects are
more fiattering. Peanuts are doing
well, as a rule Turnips are coming
up well, and sowing seed is still in
progress: rye for winter and spring
pasture is being sown. Pastures are
improving rapidly. Early upland corr
was almost too far gone to be benefited
by the rains, and will be cut for forage
There is much millet and pea hay
ready for cutting. Fruit generally is

ALCOHOL.

Why hesitate? Ye are full-hearded
men,
With God implanted will, and courage,
Ye dare but show it. Never yet was will
But found some way or means to work
it out,
Nor e'er did fortune frown on him who
dared.
Shall we in presence of this grievous
wrong,
In this supremest moment of all time,
Stand trembling, covering, when with
one bold stroke
These groaning millions might be ever
free?
And that one stroke, so just, so greatly
good,
So level with the happiness of man,
That all the angels will applaud the deed?

THE BILLION DOLLAR STEEL TRUST.

1t Employs an Army of Operatives and is
a More Gigantic Combination Than Most
People Realize.
PHILADELPHIA, May 17.-An arti-
Gle in the Saturday Evening Post of
this city contains this striking
statement of the magnitude of the
new billion-dollar steel trust:
So much has been written of Mr..
Schwab and the new company of
which he is the head that the sub
iect would have seemed to have
been exhausted. But even the facts
that have been printed do not con-
vey1'an adequate idea of the colossal
proportions of the enterprise of
which Mr.. Schwab is now the head.
AS President of the United States
Steel Corporation he has an army of
employees numbering owe five
hundred thousand. These men, with
the families depending up on them,
make up a community of nearly four
million people. This is a larger pop
ulation than is comprised in Greater
New York.
According to the latest census,
there are only four States in the
Union that have as great or a greater
population. These States are New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Ohio. There are fifteen States
whose combined population does not
reach this figure in other words,
Mr.. Schwab has under his jurisdic
ton (when those dependent on his
employees are taken into consider
atom a greater number of people
than have the Governors of fifteen
States combined. He is the master
of a fleet of over two hundred and
fifty ships, of three great railways,
of five hundred distinct plants, of
hundreds of mines, of the three
greatest mineral ranges in the world,
of thirty thousand coke ovens, of
thousands of miles of gas mains, of
hundreds of gas we'll, and SO on,
Ud GnfnjtUn1, until the array makes
one dizzy to think of it. The aver
age king is a poor creature indeed
beside this marvellous young head
of the Great Carnegie Thirty" as
the company are generally known
in Pittsburg.

year on exactly the same plan as
last year, and it is hoped to continue
the work in this way, taking advan-
tage of such progress in methods as
may come about, for a sufficiently
long time to obtain valuable and re-
liable results, having in mind that
it is better to confine investiga-
ton and experimentation to limited
and well-defned plans where funds
are not abundant, rather than try to
cover at one time too much of the
broad field of agriculture. Much
good has already come from the
work, and we hope it is only in the
beginning and that we may be able
to throw additional light from year
to year on the fertilizer require
ments, culture methods and adapta-
bility of plants now used and not
now used, to different conditions and
sections of the State. In this work
we are earnestly endeavoring to
thoroughly acquaint ourselves with
the practice of farmers on the hope
of bringing closer together art and
science, and in making "science

From the National Review.


In the antarctic circle the monotony and
solitude are more predominant than In the
arctic. The lack of large mammals. as,
for instance, the polar bear, the polar fox,
walrus, musk oxen, and, of course, the
lack Of population, like the Eskimo and
Samoyed, make life on the land near the
south pole extremely solitary. Both within
the arctic and antarctic regions the men,
bers of an expedition will have to face the
strong strain of monotony, an enemy in
fact superior to and much more dangerous
than ice or gales 1t is therefore neces-
dition to contain members with easy minds
and good tempers, who before they enter
upon the adventure have shown them
selves able to realize that their minds are
to face the depressing influence of arctic
night. So much the heavier weighs the
monotony on the mind of the traveller as
the food will necessarily be inferior to that
of civilization. Thus the qualities Of the
arctic and antarctic explorer will be tried
under the most unfavorable conditions.
Successful or unsuccessful work within the
polar regions will therefore greatly depend
upon whether the members of the expedi-
ton, under the most unfavorable physical
conditions, will still maintain the full men,
believe, the principal factor to be taken
into account in both arctic and antarctic
exploration work. But the strain and diff
culties in the south are conspicuously much
greater than in the north. The difficulties
must need be greater because the monot-
ony is greater and the food supply less,
through the scarcity of life.

The same precautions which distinguish
other phases of the enterprise characterize
the preparation of clothing for the men.

Peacock Feather Superstition.

FROM the Baltimore Sun.
1t Is well-known superstition that peo-
cock feathers bring i'll luck to the house.
whose walls they adorn, and an amusing
incident of the rummage sale conducted
by the United Women of Maryland has
been the unavailing effort day by day Of
each committee in charge to dispose Of a
life-size silver and bronze peacock whose
spreading plumage forms a fire screen,
and which Is at once thing of beauty and
utility.
The screen was given by Mrs Charies
j. Bonaparte and was regarded as very
salable, and high price was fixed upon
IL but women came. admired and went
away giving no specific reason for not buy.
ing H. The price was lowered and it was
even offered at bargain figure to a
wealthy club woman whose family crest
included a peacock, but she ayerred she
would not have it for a gift. 1t finally
dawned upon the ladies of the COMMITTEES
that the club woman and progressive wo.
man alike are as superstitious as the rest
of womankind, and that the real reason the
afraid of bringing down the wrath Of the
gods upon their domicles.
An independent club woman OF Mo,lrGs
Washington who processes to have absoI
lutely no superstition, finally accepted a
challenge to prove II by purchasing the iliI
omened screen. but at the last moment
even she weakened. Her husband, she said.
had violent antipathy to peacock feathers.
On one occasion, after a series OF accfS
dents to his household, he had seized II
treasured collection Of peacock plumes ard
thrust them into the fire upon hearing.
