ANOTHER BIG SHIPMENT.

Boat Very Large Yesterday.
New Bern Journal.)

Some idea of the size of the early
potato crop can be obtained from the
number of wagons containing barrels
of tubers that were seen at the f.. G.
D. dock yesterday. There was almost
a constant procession of wagons on
Craven street from the west and
north of the city and numerous boat
loads from towns up the river.
The total shipment was /, 500 bar
rels of potatoes; 500 baskets of beans;
800 sacks of vans; cucumbers, tur-
nips and other vegetables i'll smaller

State Crop Bulletin.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 49,, 1904.
Week ending Aug. Is, 1904
The fore part of the week was
moderately cool in the western
counties, but the latter part was
very warm, while in the eastern
counties the week was hot through
out. There was no rain in any part
of the state. Hot wiuds caused in
jury to spring wheat, and the long
continued drought has dried up
pastures and meadows, and short
ened the potato and oat crops ma
terially. The roads are extremely
dusty, and the forests are so dry
that many destructive fires are in
progress, which cannot be extin-
guished until there is rain.
Hops are badly in need of rain,
and, except where irrigated, the
crop will be materially lightened.
The burrs are small but the hops
will be rich in lupline. Winter
wheat cutting is finished and thresh
ing is progressing rapidly. The
yield is from about an average in
quantity to very good, but the quail
ity is in some instances not the
best. Spring wheat cutting is now
we'll along. Dry weather and hot
winds caused much of the wheat to
be thin and short, and, in the CEN
trail counties, much was burnt or
shriveled. In the eastern part of
Whitman, and in the southeast
counties, the yield will be average,
or nearly SO, but in the central
counties the crop will fall far be-
low average.
The oat harvest is we'll under
way. Corn and vegetables that
are benefited by hot weather have
thriven this season, but there will,
apparently, be a large crop of ap-

Getting Along with the Neighbors.

1t would be a joyous solution of
the problem of getting along with
the neighbors" if one could always
hit upon the weak joint in the
others armor and pierce it with an
imprisoned shaft of wit. But the
overmastering impulse is to con-
denim the adjacent noisy cat or
piano player in vigorous terms and
threaten to destroy them utterly.
A nuisance to the ordinary frantic
city dweller is regarded as the worst
ever inflicted upon any one and
practically irremediable. But now
and then we hear of the man of
large liberation who dares approach
the keeper of the nuisance with a
suggestion that disarms all resent
ment. Such was the Chicago man
whose neighbo is the owner OF
rooster of diminutive size, but with
a very large voice, which crows con-
rinually, commencing every morn
ing about two o'clock. Further
more, the rooster has very hoarse
voice. and the crow is very much
drawn out. His note of protest to
the ROSTERS owner read as follows:

The growth Of the merchant fleet wa =.
most rapid about the time of the Chi

Only Great Britain, the United States

surpass the shipping of Japan. The

Japan's naval vessels are all COM

choose such drinks in preference &c
liquor. The public house trust. Of which
Earl Grey is the president. goes on the
same theory. In the 'reformed'' public
houses which it has established all over
the country, liquor is freely sold-only
there Is no special inducement to buy it
whereas tea, coffee, mineral waters
and food at rock bottom prices are given
special prominence.
If these houses were run in the Ordi-
nary way it would be hard to carry
this out, but the trust officials have
solved the difficulty by making the man

Naturalists have decided that many in
sects have senses which human beings
lack That of location, shown by the
wasp, for instance, is remarkable. One
species builds its nest in a sandbank
that is only a part Of seversI acres of
such soil, and when il leaves in search of
food it covers the nest so carefully that
no ordinary eye could discover its To-
cation, That is to say, 1t is just like all
the surrounding location, and yet the
wasp flies back 70 il without hesita-
ton and finds it without making a mis-
take. There is another wasp that un-
