Last year's corn crop was up ward of 2,100,000,000 bushels This vear's crop, it is now estimat* ed, will be about 1,700,000,000 busheis. But the market price of corn is now 15 cents higher than it was a year ago. If the market holds, therefore, the promised crop will bring $255,000,000 more jii»n it would have commanded at last year's price. As a class, there fore, the agricultural portion of the community will not snff^r in pocket because corn is a short crop. The consuming classes, of course, will suffer, but not the whole of the loss consequent on the shortage will fall upon this oountry. Part of it will be borne abroad when foreign consumers pay more for American corn and meats. The United States Geological Survey hat issued a bnlletin re porting upon the oil and gas fields of the Western interior and Texas as authentic and will place a'wholesome check upon the ef fect of oyer- statements set afloat by promoters for the purpose of creating a market for stoskB. The report state* that the gravi ty of the Beaumont oil is 22 de H^ana Baume. The oil has an asphalt base and oontains a con siderable quantity of sulphur. "Tests show that the percentage of light oils which it contains is very low and it is therefore re garded as a fuel oil. The cluster of wells at Beaumont which have reached the oil deposits are four miles south of the center of the of the town and within a radius of a half mile from the first dis covery. Up to June 15 those actually recognized as producers numbered 11." 80 much for the present condition of the Texas oil fields. As to the outlook, tbe report says: The active drilling has been nearly all confined to the Spindle Top Heights and thus far has developed field of limited extent. Some of the wells situated very near to tb« producing territory are now proved to tbe failures. This has caused a more conser vative spirit among the operators -and the oil business is beginning to be conducted on a more careful basis. The fact that the reservoir under Spidle Top Heights appears to have only a limited extent does not prelude the possibility of finding-oil in the same general horizon ir other places. Instead of a continuous field a number of amall fields occurring at the wide intervals. Treating of the oil and gas prospects of the wider territory ncluded in the title of the report the generalization is made that the principal productive field of the Western interior area is in southeastern Kansas and the northern part of Indian Territory although both gaB and oil in limit ed quantities have been found as far north as Kansas City and along the western border of Mis souri. The report says the coal measure rocks of Iowa thus far have not proved productive. The small flaws of gas there are sporadic and the exploitation of that field has been attended with considerable uncertainty and Chicago's "corn king" quickly met the fate of most of those who habitually try to be masters of the matkets. Eastern rapers say this will be a great year for peaches, hi)1 the reports from the South piotnise the largest rice crop ever harves ted in the United States.

The movement of tbe Pullman porters for more pay will be sup ported by travelers who are now assisting the great corporation to make both ends meet, by tipping their underpaid employes. Potatoes will probably be high in prioe, but consumers will get a good deal for their money—in peelings—as the tubers will be small. But there is still time in which rain can change the potato outlook. The expected advance in the price of meat may drive consum ers to an increased use of vegeta bles, and thus result in physical benefit. As a rule people eat too much meat, especially duriu" the summer. The results of an official exam ination of food products at Ber lin, Germany, is amusingly inter esting, in iew of the attitude of German politicians toward food products imported from the United States. The examinations during the month of June are reported to have shown that 83 per cent, of 294 specimens were below the re quired standard. Four out of five samples of milk were adulter^ ated, 92 per oent. of the sausages were artificially colored, and 82 per cent of the liver sausage con tained flour. Only one state in the union pro duced a larger crop of potatoes in 1900 that Wisconsin, and that was Michigan. Wiscon sin's crop amounted to 15,619,641 bushels, and Michigan's to 16,630— 941. Potatoes were cheaper in Wisconsin and Miohigan last year than anywhere else in tbe United States, the average farm price in JCichigan, according to the De partment of Agriculture report, being 26 cents per bushels, and in Wisconsin 28.

A few years ago when the sugar duties were largely reduced and a bounty was given to the sugar planters of Louisiana so that thejr should not lose any money by the change, sugar suddenly dropped from eight cents a pound to six, cents.

But now under the United Stales government and American enter prise, she can excel all the sugar producing countries in Europe and at the same time sell the raw ma terial at a low price. This would be very bad for Germany, as she now furnishes a large portion of our raw sugar, but all the future of cheaper sugar depends upon the action of Cuba herself.

In London it was noticed that when the streets were murtdy there was a marked diminution of diseases that were prevalent when dust is blowing. Bowel troubles are plentiful when peo ple are compelled to inhale dust. Con sumption, too, often gets its start from dust. Other illnesses almost equally grave follow from the breath ing of flying particles of filth. Add sufficient water to transform the dust Into mud, and the power for harm is gone, for mud is not inhaled. The germs that infest dry mud become in ert in mud, because these germs, vi cious as they are, are too lazy to go anywhere unless they" are carried. Moreover, mud is very likely to get ultimately into the drain pipe, and the germs are carried off where they can do no harm. Even when mud dries on the clothing and is brushed off the dust that arises therefrom does not appear to be as dangerous as that which has not been recently wet. It will thus be apparent that there is a bright side to mud, and henceforth all but the most fastidious will revel in muddy streets. Many physicians may advise their more weakly patients to go abroad in search of exercise only when the roads are muddy. Rich men may be looked for to have special mud spots somewhere on their grounds while sanitariums may be expected to advertise that all the walks about 'heir buildings are so constantly attended to that mud is guaranteed every day in the year. Mud baths have long been utilized, and mud would seem certain to become one of the great curative agents of the near future. Yet wise medicos are learning nothing that has not been known for ages to mothers of large families in rural districts, where "playing in the mud" has al ways been known as the children's healthiest pastime. —Boston Tran script. A REVEREND LADY'S HORSE. Animal Compels Stable-Keeper to Wear Skirt and 8unbonnet. Rev. Anna Shaw's friends are rela ting an incident concerning a horse which Miss Shaw purchased while on a visit to Cape Cod. The reverend lady is a good judge of horseflesh, be sides being highly accomplished in numerous other ways. She has been heard to deolare that David Harum himself would have difficulty in over reaching her in the matter of a trade. The Cape Cod animal which she pur chased proved to be satisfactory as to speed, temper and disposition, and for several days Miss Shaw looked after his wants herself, there being no man on the premlsee just at that time. Rev. Anna, finally secured the services of man servant, just as she was leav ing to deliver a lecture in a town not far from Boston. The man entered the stall to perform the usual"duties of a stable help and was at once ktekad into insensibility. He soon recovered, but refused to go near the horse again and the animal fared rather poorly un til Miss 8haw's return. Then another man Waa hired, but he met a similar reception. A third keeper, was en gaged, Miss Shaw conscientiously in forming him as to the experience of his two predecessors. The newcomer made some inquiries as to tbe ante cedents of the horse and found that it had always been cared for by the wife of its former owner. Borrowing a skirt and an old sunbonnet from Miss Shaw the man went up to the horse in safety and from that day to this has never had any trouble with the animal. Aa Albaa? Poet. William Crosswell Doane, Episcopal bishop of the diocese of Albany, who has just isued a volume of poems, is one of Albany's striking figures. He dresses in the style of the English clergyman, and in personal appearance he would readily be mistaken for an Engliahman., In his walks about the state capital the bishop is always ac companied by his faithful dog, a fine specimen of the Great Dane breed. Whenever the bishop is invited to de liver the prayer in the senate or as sembly he bids his dOg lie down in the corridor and wait for him. Then he hands the animal his shovel hat. The dog takes it between his teeth and nev er budges until the bishop returns. What would happen if any one at tempted to take the hat away from him is a mere matter of conjecture, for no one has ever had the temerity to try the experiment.—Chicago Journal. Over Honntaln to Deatb. While descending from Camp McKin ney to Jolly Creek, B. C., the horse hauling Hoff's mail stage bolted, and could not be controlled by Andrew Kirkland, the driver. Finally the horses left the road and dashed over the bank dragging the stage down the steep in cline. Passengers, horses and coach rolled over and over and into the creek below. Kirkland. was Instantly killed, his fleck beta? broken. Of the passen gers,. one, a woman, had her collar bone broken and besides was badly bruised. Harry Nicholson was seriously injured, and another male passenger was also hurt. The horses were killed. The'Advent of Coffee About the year 1600 coffee began to be talked of in Christendom as a rare and precious medicine.
