THE GROWTH OF THE BEARD.
1t Is Said to Be Faster by Day Than
by Night.

THE beard hardly grows at all when
you are asleep" said the barber.
How dc you know" asked the man
in the operating chair.
"Oh by experiment. You see. I al
ways used TO shave myself in the morn
ing. the first thing after getting up but
| hated to do IL. because it was so apt
to make me late for breakfast. So one
night | shaved myself at II O'Clock, and
went straight TO bed and to sleep. Do
sou know. my face was almost clean
when | got up? You would have sworn,
unless you had examined me closely,
that l was fresh from the razor. And
ever since then | have shaved before
going to bed. and have been given credit
for shaving in the morning. The growth
of the beard. you see. is practically i'm
perceptible during the eight or nine
hours of your sleep.
But if you should stay awake those
eight or nine hours the growth would be
as fast as usual. One night, after / had
shaved. l had to stay up with my sick
daughter, and | almost needed second
scraping in the morning. The beard
grows. in my opinion. three times as
fast when you are awake as it does
when you are asleep - Philadelphia

The following report as to the con-
diticns OF growing crops has been is
sued by the Department of Agriculture:
Very favorable temperatures prevail
ed during the week ending July II in
all districts east of the Rocky Mountains
with the exception Of the Central and
East Gulf States, which have suffered
somewhat from excessive heat. A con-
siderable portion of these last-mention-
ed districts have. however. received
much needed rains. relieving TO a great
extent the severe drought that has pre-
vailed for several weeks. although more
rain is greatly needed in some sections.
Heavy rains have continued in the
Missouri and UIrer Mississippi valleys
and portions of the Lake Region. delay
ing cultivation and causing destructive
freshets in places. The Central and
Southern Rocky Mountain regions have
suffered somewhat from low tempera
lures and frosts. Highly favorable con-
ditions prevailed on the Pacific Coast.
especially in Oregon and Washington.
CoTn CropS Progress
The corn crop. as whole, in the prin-
cipal corn States. has made very favor
able progress although needing culti-
walton in portions of the Missouri and
Upper Mississippi valleys and Lake Re
gioE, as a result of continued rains.
which have also reduced the acreage
somewhat in Iowa. In the Southern
States late corr has improved somewhat.
but the early crop is very poor. In
New England, New York. and North
Dakota corn is very backward.
Winter wheat harvest is nearing COM
pletion. except in the northern por-
crop has experienced generally favor
able conditions except in the Missouri!
Valley, where complaints continue of
sprouting in stack and shock. On the
North Pacific Coast winter wheat is ma
turing nicely. and harvest will begin in
Oregon In about ten days.
Spring wheat is now heading in the
2, ortheTE portion of the spring wheat re
gion, and the general outlook for this
crop continues promising. although 1t
is late in portions OF northern Minneso-
ia. in Iowa where the crop has been
damaged somewhat by rust the outlook

Oats continue in promising condition.
but lodging is reported quite extensively

NEW YORK. July 15.-The dealings in
stocks were the largest since the early
part of May. They were well distributed
and the tone of the market was in the
main strong. In the early dealings. the
shares of the railway lines which ira
verse the principal cereal producing
sections of the country were exception
ally strong.
In the afternoon the speculation was
affected adversely by sharp decline
in the price of the July option on corn
in the Chicago market This was con-
strued as indicating that the Western
spectators who have been engineering
the corner in July corn, and who are
also believed to have extensive commit
ments on the long side of the stock
market, had been beaten.
Heavy selling of stocks was attributed
of business dispatches were received
from Chicago to the effect that the de-
cline in the price of July options for
corn was the result of settlement be-
tween the bull pool and the shorts
May Improve Matters.
The street seemed inclined to accept
this view and in consequence prices raj
lied at the close and final figures for
railroad stocks were, as a rule, frac-
tionally higher than yesterday. Should
the report of settlement prove to be
correct the situation is obviously i'm
proved by the event.
The more important dealings in the
railways list were Atchison. Missouri
Pacific. Union Pacific. St Paul and Chi
cago and Alton. Missouri Pacific was
second in respect to activity and sus-
tanned net loss of nearly point. In
Union Pacific realizing sales depressed
the price fractionally at the close.
Atchison common enjoyed a maximum
advance of IL per cent. but subsequent
ly lost two-thirds of it. The preferred
was also exceptionally strong in the
first half of the day. but closed a shade
lower than last night. Less active is
sues that were exceptionally strong were
Chicago and Northwestern, Chicago
Terminal preferred, St. Louis and South
western common and on light transac
tions, New Yark, New Haven and Hart
ford. which scored a net gain of more
than six points. and Iowa Central COM
mon.
The Only noteworthy net decline other
than that in Missouri Pacific was that of
a point in New York Central.
