French Wheat IIarest.

French Wheat Harest.
 The Marche Francais and the Bull letin des Halles publish the first es- inmates made of the wheat harvest. The former gives it at 3s2, SAG, ASA bush els, with surface of 16,s14,740 acres. This is an average of 50.69 bushels per hectare (2.471 acres), against 49.s9 bushels last year. The Bulletin des Halles estimates the present crop at 355, ,324, ,127 bushels.
 It will be remembered that. last years harvest, according to official figures, amounted to 304, ,242,216 bush els.
 Every year, before harvesting has hardly begun, the journals of France begin to publish estimates of the years production of wheat. These estimates are inspired, in ayear of poor harvest, by the ardent wish that France may produce enough of the grain for her own consumption, and in a good year, by the hope that she may rise to the dignity of an export ing nation.

Early System, Which a Connec- ticut station Master Prizes.

Station Master William H. Collins who began his career with the New York, New Haven 65 Hartford road, May IT, 1847, has a number of inter esting relics in his office in the Union station, illustrative of the early days of railroading in this state, reports the Hartford (Conn.) Post.
 The collection contains the old bell that was used at the depot when it was located on Mulberry street. It was rung regularly five minutes be fore train started, giving ample warning of the trains departure This bell is curiosity in it's way It would not be thought of for an instant on account of it's dimensions. not being half as big as an old New England academy bell;, it's tone is what lends an ineffabIes interest. It was suspended on spiral wire, with spring enough in it to keep the bell sounding for a minute or two at time. Old as the wire is, the spring has not been lost, the bell and it's belongings being as nimble as in youth. The city boundaries were not as extensive in 1s47 as they are now and there was no difficulty in hearing the bell through the town from boundary to boundary when it was rung.
 It was not until 1s47 that tal1ow candles were given up as means of lighting cars at night. Oil was in. troduced at that time, and with it came the first type of lantern. The first lantern used on the road be- tween New Haven and Hartford is still preserved in the collection of relics guarded by Station Master Col lins. It weighs 61s pounds. The con ductor's lantern of the present period will not exceed three-quarters of pound in weight. The second type Of conductors lantern to be in troduced was carried on the arm by means of an iron band at the bottom through which the arm was extend ed. It was also a heavy and awk- ward device. In the third type the position of the iron band was changed, being at the top instead of the bottoT2 of the lantern.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP.


 (From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe) This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand fn every neighbor- hood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup rem edies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as 8 revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to 'sthrow up the phlegm' quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

Norwegian Crops.

It is well-known fact that Norway, even in the most favorable seasons, is incapable of raising enough cereals for the consumption of it's population Consequently, large quantities of grain and other provisions are im- ported annually. The annual import of grain, flour and other breadstuffs averages about $12. COG, ,OO0 per an- mum, and that of meats and pork about $225,0o The present season has proved itself very poor one for the Norwegian farmers. and reports of destructive frosts and failures of crops are coming in from nearly all parts of the extensive territory. A cold. and backward spring, scarcely any summer, and wet autumn, with early frosts, have done great damage to all crops. There will be scarcity of fodder also, as the rains have de- stroyed much of the hay before it could be harvested. It is estimated by the authorities that the yield of grain for the whole kingdom will be about one-third less than the average. As the average annual value of the grain crops of the country is estimated at $54,000.O0O the loss is severe.
 The authorities are aware that it will become necessary to furnish seed grain to farmers in the most needy districts. and are already preparing to

.%A vers in both France and XA Germany attracted consid- NXRE erably more attention in .zSSsSz America this year than
 usual because of the pres
 ence at both of American army officers, and these officers have been freely quoted both in Europe and America relatively to the fighting qualities of these two great European lighting machines
 The American officer, while though -Ierving in comparatively small army, has kept pace with the progress of military science, and has contributed his full quota to the knowledge of att tackand defense in war. He has profted by the campaigns on the western plains with the Indians, and out of these campaigns has practically evolved the open order formation the English found necessary before they could conquer the Boers in South ! Africa. He has studied the changes made necessary by the introduction of modern artillery, rapid-fire guns and small arms, and was considerably sur prised to find both France and Germany " tA1C ObSO4GbC AAObA00S VI their fathers in infantry formation. In France he found close formation was favored both for attack and de- iense; guns were ill-masked; ad- yances were maintained at ranges which would have meant annihilation to the advancing troops; bodies of men were launched at positions which had been untouched by artillery fire; and the cover offered by buildings and the formation of the country was un- accepted. Yet the French have adopt ed the military balloon and the motor sar-curious anomaly. The tactics were otherwise, as tactics, occasion ally brilliant and on the whole satis- factory.

The first plan was 3 narrow-gauge road, but now a wide gauge is proposed, with no tunnel. The new line will run through a coun- try comparatively rich. It is thought it can be completed within year. The work at the mine and also on the rail- road can be done best in winter, when material and labor are cheap.
