S4. In Massachusetts the 1902 quality is given as 97, and the 1903 quality as S4.
 Growers who have viewed the situa- ton carefully are of the opinion that the yield per acre will not average much over 1,2OO pounds in Massachusetts, and taht the average in Connecticut will not greatly exceed l, 400 pounds. If the total number of pounds grown were to be divided by the number of acres planted, the yield per acre would be even smaller, as allowance would have to be made for tobacco ruined by hail and excessive moisture and plowed un- der.
 The 1903 Havana crop can at best yield but a small percentage of desir- able wrappers. The present outlook is that the crop may be classed as fol- lows: Wrapper, 30 per cent, binder, 40 per cent; filler, 30 per cent. Of the wrappers not more than one-half, or about 15 per cent. of the entire crop, can by any force of circumstances be graded to fine light goods.

DAMIAN GRUEFF, THE MAcEDoN-
 IAN LEADER.

Damian Grueff, who is announced as being the chief organizer of the Mace donian revolutionary movement in Ma cedenia itself, now that Sarafoff has re- turned to Bulgaria, has had a some what checkered career. Born at Sn1il- eyo, near Rezen (yilayet of Monastir). in Salonica, he went to the University 0f Belgrade, and later, in 1890, to that fo Sofia. But he did not complete the
 course, and went back to Macedonia,
 when he was appointed school teacher
 at Prilep. He carried on the Bulgarian
 educational propaganda with great ac--.
 tivity; and was appointed inspector of
 schools at Salonica, and afterwards at
 AIonastir.
 All this time he was working for the Revolutionary movement in the inter tests of the Internal Organization. For
 some years more he managed to avoid suspicion, but in 1900, when the prose- cut:ons os the Bulgarians became geli- eral, he was arrested and condemned to sixteen years imprisonment Early | in 1902 he was transferred to Pedrum Kah, but in October of that year he was liberated, together with a nnriber of other prisoners. in consequence of a general amnesty granted by the Sultan. When the trouble broke out sfrasn this year he again returned to Macedonia, f and has been an active organizer ever since. Westminster Gazette.

PLANNINa A MINrER rRIP.

 Rev Dr, ". G.

 s'What does the New Testament his- tory stand for? For the lonely man standing against wrong traditions and casuistry. Jesus died because he op- posed the popular conception of relig- ious conduct. From casuistry it was great change to the simplicity of the teaching Of Jesus. Again in the f1f- teenth and sixteenth century was crush ing out the simple principles of religion when the reformation broke those bonds. The reformation was exactly the same thing that Jesus did. It said: We want to get back to Jesus.' The vast principles which built up re- ligion in the name of Jesus helped to drag it down. Latimer and Knox, suf- sering under the name of Jesus, were willing to put the thumb screws on those who were not ready to believe as they did. We put the point too high, and we put it where Jesus didn't put it. We ask a young man to-day Do you want to be a Christian?

The picture was picked up by one of Captain Austin's men just as it fell from the pocket of dead rebel at the battle of Shiloh, as the men were about to bury the remains in a trench. The picture is probably that of the deceased Confederate's wife and daughter. It is hardly likely that the originals of the picture can be found, but much stranger things than that have happened. The cut is used through the courtesy of the National Tribune, Washington, D. C., and further particulars can be had of Captain Austin, 54 Pearl street.

YIELD OF 1903 CROP.

These figures, which indicate decrease of less than 10 per cent. from the 1902 yield, are, in the opinion of growers with whom your correspondent has talked, rather more favorable than the situation warrants. The government estimates on condition are considered optimistic by those who have inspected the new crop. The condition of the Connecticut crop in 1902 was estimated at S6, while the 1905 quality is placed at
