CROPS INJURED CONSIDERABLY.
Heavy and Continuous Rains are the Cause
of Much Loss In Crops for the Farmers.

This locality, and all over Michigan,
there have been continuous rains during
the past four weeks that are beginning
70 show the effects on the crops.
According to the Michigan crop report
for August excessive rains during that
month caused more damage than dry
weather, yet the same conditions have
been kept up during the present month,
with no sign Of abatement. From all
over the state comes the reports that
beans have been damaged or entirely
destroyed. Potatoes are rotting in the
ground and only those planted on high
and sandy soil will amount TO anything.
Sugar beets are beginning to show the
effects Of the wet weather, although
there is good chance ahead for that
crops. In this locality the chief damage
is TO potatoes, beans and sugar beets,
although one man who has so acres
Of beans 60 harvest, states that he still
has hopes Of securing partial crop.
After all Michigan people can consider
themselves fortunate In several places
in the west, heavy snow storms have
been prevailing during the past week,
entire crops being ruined, live stock
freezing and traffic being delayed.

NOT A GENUINE SUCCESS.
The Carnival i'm st. Louis Last Week Seems
to have Left n Bad Impression.

In the Republican Leader last week,
Brother Everden puts up quite "hol.
Ter" regarding the carnival held in that
burgh recently, in fact he moralizes real
loud. This is as he saw it,
at is certain that the merchants
failed to receive any benefit and IL is
doubtful II the saloons got the benefit
they expected. Some Of them, at least
are loud in their complaints.
at is from a moral standpoint that the
carnival is seen at it's worst. Ii is an
excuse for license and misrule. A vi.
cious class Of people follow up these ag
gregstions and st. Louis was flooded
last week with both sexes.
Gambling games were run on all
sides and the dances were Of the free
and. easy variety. The activity Of the
police force kept rs good order as could
be expected but the effect on our child
rem has been demoralizing.

Settling Hotel Bill In Portugal.
In Portugal when the traveller asks
for his bill the landlord pleasantly rubs
his hands together and answers,
'Whatever your excellency pleases to
give"
This will not do, for the traveller is
sure to offer too little or too much and
to be thought either u spendthrift or
niggard, 30 he has to make q speech,
thank the landlord for his confidence
and beg for detailed statement
Then the landlord, politely deprecat-
ing anything of the kind, is slowly per-
suaded to check of the various items
upon the fingers Of his hand, with
long argument before each successive
finger is done with and doubled down.

Of this act Of mental arithmetic, the

little finger backward, with a finger or
two perhaps representing forgotten
items brought into account from the
other hand.
The sum total is gladly paid, and host
and guest nre mutually content, the
guest knowing that he has not been
overcharged more than perhaps a
thumb and two fingers.

An old Recipe.

Here is n recipe for the bite of a mad
dog taken from the Universal Maya
zine of knowledge" published by John
Hinton at the Kings Arms in Newgate
street, London. May, 1888: Take the
youngest shoots of the elder tree, peel
off the outside rind, then. scraping off
the green rind, take two handfuls Of
1t, which simmer q quarter of an hour
In five pints Of ale. Strain it off and
when cold put 1t in bottles. Take
half a. pint, make warm the first thing
in the morning and The last at night
and be sure to keep yourself warm;
also battle the part affected with some
of the liquor warmed, the dose to be
repeated the next new or full moon
after the first. 1t is good for cattle as
well as the human species"

The better the horse the more spirit
he has. The disposition of an Arab
hunter is thus described by Sewcll
Ford in Horses Nine" No paragon,
however, was Pasha. He had tenn
per, and his whins We're as many as
those of a schoolgirl. He was parttcu-
lar Us to who put on his bride. He had
notions concerning the manner in
which currycomb should be used. A
red ribbon or bandnnna handkerchief
put him in a rage, while green. the holy
color Of the Mohammedan, soothed his
