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

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.

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

have not proved productive. The
small flaws of gas there are

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

DU8T AND FILTH.
Mud Is Ksoommsndsd by physician*
Health Preserver.
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

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. In 1615 it was
brought to Venice, and in 1621 Burton
spoke of it in his "Anatomy of Melan
choly" as a valuable article which he
had beard of but not Been. In 1652 Sir
