AGRICULTURAL FIGURES.
Iowa rained 480,000,000 bushels of
corn laat year.
The Indian oorn crop of 1883 waa I,
628,404,000 bushelaj the wheat crop SW,

employing 116,000 persons. There are
also eight new mills now In course of
construction.
Tint canning Industry Is making
great headway In Goorgia, and, in
view of.tho probability of a fine crop
this season, that state Is likely to be
one of tbe most profitable fields for
fruit growers in tbe country.
Tn? largest grain fleet that over left
Chicago at the opening of navigation

steam and sailing Teasels, which left
that city for the lower lake porta April

SOME NEW CONTRIVANCES.
A hew driving belt has been made
in France by parchmentlngtbe leather
instead of tanning It. The belt does
not stretch and Is more durable than
tanned belts.
The telautograph, another electrical
wonder of tbe present day, transmits
autographs, likenesses and pictures by

Until 1SS8 Gen. Butler smoked a great
flejvL In the fall of 1982 ho confided to
hlii private secretary that he thought
the habit of smoking had grown on
him too strongly, and he was beginning
to think that his will might be weak

"Hand mo that paper-weight,** said
the governor, pointing to a Seavy glass
weight on the desk.
It was done, and then Gov. Butler
quizzically inspected tho private secre
tary's desk at long range, and said in
the low grumble that was characteris
tic of him:
"I hope you ohaveoH any mtoslUs
there."
"Why, governor?" said the private
secretary.
"Well, I don't want you to throw
anything at me." he growled, "when I
tell you that I've been blamed fool
enough to make a New Year's resoliF
tion. When the oJd year went out the
other night I said to myself, as I fin
ished my cigar, that I would smoke no
more while I lived."
This resolution, as everybody knows,
was sacredly kept.

A lecturer, who had for several min

ties of politeness, was interrupted by a
man who arose and said:
"That's all very well, cap?mighty
fine talldn, an all that, but in this town
politeness don't pay."
"You are mistaken, sir," the lecturer
answered; "politeness pays in any and
all towns."
"No, you are wrong," the interrupter
persisted; "it don't pay here. Til tell
you why. For some time I have been
eating nt n lunch counter roundfyonder,

Mrs. Fred G. Klein of Nagoya, Japan,
of the Methodist Protestant mission, had
the honor of starting the first Junior so
ciety in Japun. so far its known. Under
Iter cheery and energetic leadership it in
sure to be a success.
Mr. Arthur T. Hill of Kobe, formerly
president of the Congregational society
in Auburn dale. Mam., did most efficient
work in preparing the way for Dr.
Clark's visit to Japan. He hod the con
stitution translated and widely circu
lated.
Do not forget to pray for that society
in the royal Japanese navy among the
marines, of which Dr. Clark spoke in
one of his recent "Familiar Letters" st
about to be formed. Where may we not
expect a society of Christian Endeavor
to flourish?

Bootsor shoes that fit cloeely prevent t_

but when, on the contrary, they do not

has a good1 supply of warm air. The
second rule is never to sit in damp shoes.
It is often supposed that unless shoe? are
positively wet it is unnecessary to changs
them while the feet are at rest. This is
a great fallacy, for when the least damp
ness is absorbed into the sole in its evap
oration it absorbs the beat from the foot,
and thus perspiration is dangerously
checked. This can be easily proved by
trying the experiment of neglecting the
rule. The feet will be found cold and
damp after a few minutes, although on
taking off the shoe and wramining it it
wfll appear to be quite dry.

long trees?the smallest end at least ten
inches in diameter?lengthwise of the
road on the brush in two rows eight
feet apart, lapping the ends three feet
and breaking jointa and placing under
the. ends large logs extending across the
road and projecting two feet beyond the
stringers. Cover these stringers with
transverse logs ten inches in diameter at
the smallest end, fitted close together
and alternating the large and small
ends, except on curves, where the large
ends should be on the outside. Edge off
the center ridges to a face of five inchcs

TEMPLES OF WORSHIP.
Gkef.k temples erected in honor of
the snpcrior deities were always un
covered or open to the sky.
. The temple of the son at Palmyra
covered a square, of twenty-two yards
on each side. It was approached by a
magnifloent avenue over half a mile
long, inclosed by rows of columns and
statues.
The cathedral tower in Berlin was
