A Needle Cure For Pain.

women have abandoned the nee
die" says a French doctor in a recent
article, but it is employed nowadays
to relieve them of pain instead of to
kill time and eyesight. The originator
of this treatment is a surgeon in the
British army in India. This simple
but successful treatment for lumbago
and neuralgia has been long in prac-
tice by the Hindus. 1t consists of
lifting a fold of the skin at the point
where the pain is most intense and
running 1t through with a needle which
is left in the flesh for from three to
twenty minutes. The treatment is
said to afford relief in every case and
in many instances leaving entirely.
The pain seldom returns within ten or
twelve hours"

uNFAvoRABLE CROP REPORT.
Eho Drought Intensified and Its Area
Largely Increased.


Washington, d. C.-The regular
weekly crop report of the Department
of Agriculture gives the following gem
eral summary:
Intense heat has prevailed through
out the States Of the Central Valleys
and Middle Rocky Mountain region,
with only local showers over limited
scattered areas. Maximum tempera-
lures of 100 degrees or above We're of
daily occurrence owe more oil less of
the territory named. Under these CON
ditions the drought has been greatly
intensified and its area largely in-
creased.
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and
portions of Nebraska have suffered
most, but the conditions are now criti-
cal from the Lake region, Central
Ohio Valley and Tennessee westward
to the Middle Rocky Mountain region,
including the greater part Of Texas.
The outlook for corn il less favor
able than at the close Of the previous
week. In Nebraska, Kansas, Okla
bona and Missouri early corn Is prac-
tically ruined. With early and abund-
ant rains in these States late corn
would probably make half a crop or
less. The condition OF the crop in
Iowa is more favorable than in the
aforementioned States, and in Illi-
nois, Indiana, Ohio. Kentucky and
Tennessee, more particularly the West
ern portions of the last-named two
States, corn is seriously in need of
rain. In the Middle Atlantic States
the conditions have been highly favor
able for corn, and its. condition is
further improved.
Moisture has eaused considerable in
jury to winter wheat in shock In the
Middle Atlantic States.
Spring wheat harvest has begun
over the southern portion of the spring
wheat region, where. as n result of
premature ripening, the yield and
quality are much impaired. Over the
northern portion, where the crop is
now ripenlng, its condition continues
promising.
The Penn's Grove record., 1901-07-26

The financial writer Oh the New
York Journal says: ut is well es.
tabllshed that the yield of corn this
year will be much smaller than that
OF last year. 4 diminution of traffic
for the railroads traversing the corn
belt seems TO be assured. Happily
the country has been prosperous for
several years, and almost all other
conditions than that of the corn crop
are favorable. A corn crop failure
this year, therefore, would not be so
serious a matter as in other years.
