CROP CONDITIONS ABROAD
Good Yields Realized or Prom
ised in Most Countries.

Washington. May 14.-Conditfons OF crops
IN foreign countries, as reported to the De
partnent Of Agriculture and published to-
day are summarized in the May Crop Re
porter as follows:
Wheat seeding and corn gathering have
been in progress in Argentina and Aus
tralia and wheat harvest in British India
while over the vast agricultural areas Of
Europe and North America energies have
been centred upon planting the spring
crops. The Argentine corn harvest, 4
month late because of wet weather, is
spoken Of as yielding a bumper crop of not
altogether satisfactory quality. In British
India wheat is reported TO be giving good
yields from an increased area
In Europe. with winter cereals a month
nearer maturity, the fine prospects of a
month ago have. on the whole, been pretty
well maintained. In early April freezing
temperatures of varying degrees Of severity
prevailed over practically the entire Cont
nent. In several countries of Western and
Central Europe-even in Southern France
and in parts Of Spain and Northern Italy
there We're heavy falls OF snow and hail
Great damage 70 fruit prospects, espe-
cially the early towering varieties, and to
spring vegetation. was reported from many
countries Winter cereals. however seem
in general 70 have suffered little prejudice
the effects Of the unreasonable weather
having been simply TO retard their growth.
If there be any deterioration in the
cereal prospects OF Europe. IL is apparently
limited 10 the West-to England, France
and Spain In England the wheat plant IN
many districts is SPOKEN of as short in
growth: in France, although the outlook is
described as generally satisfactory, many
contra cictory reports are afoat as TO con-
dttfons in few imported cereal producing
districts; in Spain the weather reports of
the last two months are suggestive of any
thing but ideal growing conditions, but
throughout the countries of Central and
Eastern Europe the fine prospects of a

MERCHANT DREW HIS OWN WILL
Now That He Is Dead the Courts Are
Called Upon to Construe It.

Being merchant and not a lawyer, Sieg-
fried Steiner apparently believed that the
law was thing that a layman could
understand as easily as. mathematics and
he could draw UP a will with about the
same facility was required in the sale
Of a craVat.
So Mr.. Steiner made his will without
consulting lawyer, with the result that
after he died his executors had TO ask
the Supreme Court to construe il. Justice
Brady handed down a decision yesterday
IN which he said that the document ere
ated most interesting puzzle" The tesla
tor left the money from his life insurance
policies and some other moneys to his
wife and gave the residue of the estate
to his three children. Then he said in
the Will: Such $1,000 to go to such charity
my executors may select" But there
was no previous mention of the said $500.
wherefore Justice Brady decided that the
intended bequest to charity must be de-

Senator Clark said that il was a strictly

very reasonable terms
The Clark properties in Butte consist of
what are known as the Original and

The Clark mines are not so deep as those
of the Amalganated Copper Company.

OF the Clark properties taken over by
the Amalgamated the principal producers

The Teachers Lantern.

Alas the genus of the rich young
ruler is not extinct. The world con-
tains as many, if not more moralists
than ever. The refrain may yet be
heard, All these have kept% They
are on the best terms with the Ten
Commandments. Under bold front,
however, disquiet vents itself in the
query, What lack II" There is con-
scious deficiency. If an iota is
wanting all it cost, for how can an
imperfect morality bring a perfect
salvation? Cause must equal effect
Morality seeks to fortify itself with
added works, some bold stroke of
righteousness. But what does it
amount to when the very source of
it is evil? Sprin9ingas it does from
love of self and not love of God, OF
what value is it? Morality fails in
the supreme test Of a complete sur
render to God. All the legal doings
of a lifetime did not empower this
young man to lift his eyes to heaven
and say Even so, Father, for thus
it seemeth good to thy sightT But
where morality fails, grace succeeds
Size of bank account is not the Ques
ton, but attitude of the soul to Coo
that is the test.

Jesus On The Way to Jerusalem.

OCSuS OAl AAlC way " OVA ASoASAA''
A special though sad interest at
taches to all the incidents of Jesus
last Journey to Jerusalem. He had
healed the lepers and blessed the
children on the way, and now almost
under the shadow of his cross, in
point of point, only four weeks re-
moved, comes this most subtleGn-
terview with the rich young man OF
some synagogue. The man was like
one thoroughly increased in armor.
Every piece was FURNISHED with
diligence and disposed for greatest
effect. There he stood panoplied
cap-a-pie. But beneath all this splen-
did moving fortress lurked a dis
quiet spirit that felt itself not
quite secure, else he would have
never come to the Nazarine rabbi.
Jesus condescends to enter the lists
and fence and foil with this knight
of legality on his own ground and
with his own methods. First of all
he will bring his with all his boosted
goodness face to face with absolute
GOODNESS of God. He adroitly puts
significance upon the hollow
of address which the user of it new
er dreamed of. In the blazing light
of Divine perfection the Wanted
armor of self-righteOusness is sadly
dimmed. But since the inquirer will
be perfect by his own eXertlons,
Jesus holds before him the tiinty
table of the law and cries: DO and
live!" The legalist thinking only OF
