the Department of Agriculture it is shown
that Maryland's wheat crop is in better
condition than that of any other State in

cent of its acreage abandoned than any
other wheat producing State can show.
lust per cent of the winter wheat crop
is in bad condition.
The statement shows further that there
are 100000 acres of Maryland in wheat,
which is greater acreage than shown by
any other Southern State, except Tennes-
see and Texas. This is Slightly more
wheat than was reported in Maryland by
the Department last year. Maryland's

ment. but the acreage is not given. The

The San Francisco call., 1910-05-08
BELL THAT CALLED TO
MASSACRE is FOUND
Sounded on Terrible Night OF
St. Bartholomew

A Paris contemporary recently dis
covered the bell of st. German PAux-
errois, which, on August "a, 1872,
sounded the massacre of st. Bartholo-
new.
This sinister bell was said to repose
at the Theater Francais. The librarian
of the Maison de Moliere has been in
terviewed on the subject. He admits
having a bell there, but it is of eight
eenth century date. Possibly, he said,
it had sounded st. Bartholomew, but,
il so, it was when Marie Joseph Che
nier was playing Charles IX.''
But it seems it is not, all a myth
about the bell of st. German fAuxer-
rois. When the church was pillaged in
1881 the bell was stolen, and after
some wanderings found its way to the
opera, and was there sounded in Les
Huguenots" of Meyerbeer but in 1872
it was put out of use by the fire which
destroyed the house.
