The Richmond Palladium and Sun-Telegram. Page Six. Richmond WHEAT OUTLOOK BETTER. THE RECENT RAINS HAVE PROV EN OF BENEFIT. At the Same Time It Seems That the Rains Have Harmed the Clover And Other Grass Seeds. Although very discouraging reports came in from all sources, during the earlier part of last week, in regard to the conditions of wheat throughout "Wayne county, the farmers are now well pleased with the outlook for a good crop, as the recent rains settled the soil about the roots and they will have a chance to grow and give the 1lant hardiness. Although the wheat appeared lifeless it is now getting green. The stand is equally as good on both clay and black lands. The heavy rains, however, were bad for the clover and other grass seeds sown during the month of March, as it washed the seed to lower levels, be fore it had a chance to root suffi ciently. This will cause newly plant ed clover to appear unevenly about the fields. The clover fields are now heaved up rs much as in former years caused by the freezing and thawing of the ground, and this gives the plants bet ter chance to take root and prosper during the early warm days of spring.

New York, March IS Henry Clews, in his weekly financial letter, says::: "The stock market situation has been unquestionably improved by re cent liquidation. estimated at be tween $1.7U.0.000 to 2. !). fO.M X in values. That such an enormou-s shrinkage could take place within the comparatively short period of six months without causing a single fail ure of consequence. Is emphatic proof of general soundness in the situation. These losses were often chiefly on pa per, and fell with greatest heaviness upon rich holders or large operators, who were abundantly able to meet them. Fortunately the speculative public suffered comparatively little. It is perhaps premature to say that liq uidation has entirely exhausted itself. Yet many of the influences depressing the market have been amply discount ed, and some of them should soon be gin to moderate if not disappear alto gether. In all probability the worst of the strain upon the money market will soon be over:. It is true that bank reserves are uncomfortably low; many banks still being below the legal limit. .Quite likely very stringent rates may be witnessed between now and the first of April; for Western banks have been carrying large bal ances here to take advantage of high interest rates and these sums must now be withdrawn to meet the excep tional interior demands which always assert themselves at this season. Then again some unusual negotiations have to be financed at this time, and inter est and dividend disbursements often cause temporary stringency. Much dependence has been placed upon gold imports for relief In case of necessity, since we are in a position to command gold if we must; but our international bankers are not over anxious to take gold from abroad against the will of foreign holders, for the reason that they must look to London. Berlin. Par is, etc., for the placing of forthcoming security Issues; and it would be poor policy to intensify the prejudice which already exists over there against some of the American financial methods.

Calhoun became vice president of the United States and con sequeutly president of the senate he announced that he had not the authori ty to call the senators to order for words spoken in debate, as he regard ed each senator as an ambassador from a sovereign state. The eccentric John Randolph of Virginia took advantage of Mr. Calhoun's ruling to abuse him personally. One day he began a tirade by saying, "Mr. Speaker I mean Mr. President of the Senate and Would Be President of the United States, which God iu his infinite mercy avert!" What to Name Your Dog.

European Fields Have Had Saving Covering of Snow for Weeks. Washington, Mar. 18 The European crop report of the department of agri culture, which has just been issued, shows that throughout the greater part of Europe the autumn-sown crops have laid during February under a cov ering of snow. Widespread injury is believed to have been thus averted, the weather having been everywhere more or less severe. The department report says: 'In the absence of definite official reports, however, the present condition of the crops in most countries is highly prob lematical, and in any event, can be de termined satisfactorily only when op portunity shall be presented of ob serving how plants respond to the quickening influences of spring. "Unofficially it is reported that in the United Kigdom the condition of winter cereals is fairly satisfactory, their endurance rarely being put to a severe test in this climate. In France and Germany it is probable the situ ation is somewhat less favorable, for although the general prospects may not have been seriously impaired, no little anxiety has been felt lately over the frequency of reports of winter-kill ing from unprotected localities. In Austria Hungary and Balkan states confidence is felt that ample snow pro tection has kept the crops secure. Of the situation in European Russia, lit tie definite care has been taken; over the greater part of the country th crops are reported to have wintered under snow, but later the reports Indi cate deterioration in certain localities not consistent with a very complete protection. "Official reports on crop conditions will be awaited in many countries this spring with, more than ordinary anxi ety. Cost. - . ...1.11 nci Beef. The Wisconsin experiment statiot has been comparing the cost of pro duction of mutton and beef. One hun dred pounds of gain were made by a wether lamb on 334 pounds of corn 206 pounds of corn fodder and 22 pounds of potatoes. To produce 100 pounds of gain in a steer required 394 pounds of corn, 183 pounds of bran and 645 pounds of silage. How a Healthy Sheep Looks. A healthy sheep will have a bright, clear, pink skin, differing In shades according to the color of the face. A large open nostril shows a good breath ing capacity. Breeders like to have the sheep with plenty of meat on the un der part of the body. A thick dock and thick, strong neck are also necessary, by which can be judged the amount of muscle along the back.

She his her beginning in a great trough, where workmen knead up into a dingy paste bid card board, even old gloves, oil rags and gum tragacanth. They are great brawny fellows, these men, naked to the waist, wearing leathern aprons. In an adjoining room the paste is pour ed Into molds for the busts, the arms, the legs of dolls innumerable. There is a special machine for stamping out the hands. I should not like to con fess how long I stood In front of it. fascinated by the steady stream of qtieer little hands that fell ceaselessly from the iron monster. It was aw ful, uncanny, hypnotizing. Indeed, the whole sight was grim aud monstrous. The low factory rooms were misty with stenm and lit by strange, red glowing tires. Always the great steel machines pulsed and changed, and through the mist sweaty giants of men went to and fro with heaps of little greenish arms and legs until you began to think that some new Heivxl had killed all the lit tle people in the worldEverybody's. Napoleon Trusted His Omens. Napoleon always had an unlimited trust in his presentiments. When the news came to him that one of the Nile river boats, the name of which was LTtalie, had been wrecked and the crew put to death he gave up all hope of ever completing his conquest of Italy by annexation. Napoleon believ ed that the stars exercised an occult influence over human destinies. When General Rapp, at one time his aid-decamp, returned from the siege of Dant sic he found the emperor gazing with concentrated attention at the heavens. "Look there!" shouted the emperor. "It is my star! The fiery red one, al most as large as the moon! It is be fore you now, and, ah. how brilliant! It has never abandoned me for a sin gle instant I see it on all great oc casions. It commands me to go for ward; it is my sign of good fortune, and where It leads I will follow." The Old Calfskin Shoe Lace. The modern boot lace is anything but a luxury. It Is nearly always just too long or a little too short, and, although made flat, It soon becomes curled with a little wear. In the old days laces were made of calfskin, and nearly ev ery farmer was an expert. He would cut a disk of leather three or four inches in diameter, stick the point of a sharp knife blade in a board, place the thumb nail the thickness of a match from it and quickly draw the string through the opening, the perimeter be ing reduced the thickness of a match at every measure of the circumfer ence. Then the square string was rolled between the sole of the shoe and the floor till perfectly round, after which It was greased with tallow. Such a lace would last for months. Round laces are now made of fiber, but their shine soon wears off, giving them a much worn appearance. How to Enjoy Whist. "How can one learn to enjoy the game of whist?" Aspirant. Get yourself roped into a game as partner to some one who helped Hoyle write his book. The other two players must also be experts. Start in pleas antly to enliven the game with a few well chosen anecdotes, now and then making the wrong play. After your partner has slapped your ears and sworn at you and put the black curse on you and all your ancestry and called you a fool a few times you will awake to the real joy of the gentle and intel lectual game.
