RTG WHEAT YIELD SURE GREAT ADVANCEMENT IN THE CONDITION OF THE PLANT. Improvement in I linols 17 Per Cent., and in Other States 13 I’er Cent. — Losses Only in a Few Counties from Hessian Fly and Winter Killing;—Glad Tidings. The Farmers' Review says: “The recent rains have materially advanced the prospects of the crop. This Improvement has averaged 1% per cent. In all the States, Kansas showing the least gain hnd Illinois the greatest. “In Illinois the warm rains have improved the prospects 17 per cent., estimating on an average crop. Out of the eighty-five correspondents reporting only twenty-one report any damage from any cause, and in those counties the loss amounts to only 9 per cent, on an average. In many sections no spring wheat is sown, but in those counties where it is grown seeding is well along, except in some of tho more northern counties. “Reports from fifty correspondents in Indiana show a gain of 3 per cent, in the State. Eleven counties report a damage of 6 per cent, from late freezing and other causes. Seeding of spring wheat is well advanced. “Ohio shows a gain of 7 per cent, on condition, reports being received from sixty-one correspondents. Only twentytwo report any loss from freezing and thawing and wet weather, and these losses average 10 per cent, for the season. Very little spring m ucat is sown inthe State, and that little is nearly all seeded. “Michigan nearly keeps pace with Ohio, showing a gain of 7 per cent. Twen; ty-eight counties show the prospects to be good. From eight counties come reports of an average damage of 8 pier cent, from insects, scarcity of snow and from frost. Tho work of seeding spring wheat not yet begun at tho time of this report. “Kentucky shows a gain of 10 percent. Two counties show an average loss of 6 per cent from wet weather. No spring wheat of consequence is sown in the State. “The improvement in Wisconsin in tho last thirty days amounts to 1 per cent. From twelve counties come reports of damage during the season, averaging 12 per cent, caused by winter killing and freezing in tho fall. Tho sowing of spring wheat is not yet begun, except in a few localities. “A gain of 10 per cent, is reported from lowa, three countieAmly reporting any loss from winter killing. In these damage amounts to 12 per cent. Tho seeding of spring wheat in its various stages, in some counties being all in, in others just commenced, and in others not yet begun. “Missouri has gained 8 per cent, in condition. From fifty-two counties came flattering reports of the prospets of an Immense crop. Nine counties report a loss during the season of 8 per cent, on an average, most of this being duo to the Hessian fly. Very little spring wheat is grown in the State, but where it is grown the seeding is advanced. “From fifty-one correspondents in Kansas gratifying reports are received. Seven counties report a loss of 7 per cent, from the fly, from the dirt blowing off and leaving the seed bare, and from other causes. The seeding of spring wheat is progressing finely, but very litK* tie is sown. ■— qf nnr r.-j.rruw.r.l-

The funeral services over the remains of Fie’d Marshal Count Von Moltke took place in the ball-rooin of the general staff building, in which building the veteran died, and where his body had been lying in state. Emperor William, the King of Saxony, the Grand Dukesof Baden, Saxe-Weimar, and Hesse, the principal members of th'e royal families of Germany, together with the leading German Generals, were present. The services lasted forty minutes. The casket containing tho dead Field Marshal's remains was then carried with much cersmony to the hearse, which was drawn by six of the EmpdYor's horses. After passing through streets lined with troops and packed with spectators, the remains arrived at the Lehrte station and were placed upon a railroad car draped in black, which was there in waiting. A Jury's Revenge. A Leadville jury recently becoming disgusted with the “sass” administered to themselves as well as the lawyers and witnesses, by tho Judge, ordered tho Sheriff to lock the latter up for a couple of weeks, and, to his honor's great exasperation, he was incontinently lugged off to jail and placed in durance vile, while the case went on smoothly with tho most popular barkeeper in town occupying the judicial chair. The best way to remove tho smell of paint is to first render tho room as nearly as possible air-tight by closing the windows, doors and other openings. Place a vessel of lighted charcoal in the room, and throw on it two or three handfuls of juniper berries. After twentyfour hours tho smell will have entirely disappeared. Another method of doing the same thing is to plunge a handful of new hay into a pail of water and let it stand in the newly painted room. The annual snowfall in Colorado is enormous. At Dillon, according to the Enterprise, the snowfall there from the first day of Noyember, 1889, to May 10, 1890, was twenty feet ten inches. At Kokomo in 1884-5, by actual daily measurements, something like ninety-six feet of the beautiful fell between Nov. 1 and June 1. Os course, it kept on settling all the time, and when spring opened up there wasn’t more than six or seven feet on the ground. Mr. Sydney J. Hickson, an English naturalist who has spent some time on tho Island of Celebes, has made some extensive ob ervations of the corals of the Malay Archipelago. In regard to the food of corals, ho is Inclined to the belief that many of them may bo vegetable feeders. No doubt the water in the vicinity of mangrove swamps is full of the debris of leaves and wood, which, sinking to the bottom, must enter the mouths of the coral animals. It is suggested that this may explain the vigorous growths often seen near extensive swamps.

GOOD THINGS AT A NEWSPAPER JUBILEE. Bright Sayings at the Anniversary of tho New York “Tribune." There were some good things said by Greeley’s old associates at the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the New York Tribune. Among them were the following: Chauncey M. Depew spoke of “The Tribune, Past and Present.” He said: “The leading organ of its party comes to the cross-roads debater as an ally, and to the fireside as a friend. The reader buckles it on as his mental armor, and grasps its arguments as his sword, and goes fearlessly to the battle with his unregenerate neighbor. ‘Why do you look so gloomy ?’ said a traveler riding along the highway in the Western Reserve in the old anti-slavery days to a farmer who was sitting moodily on a fence. ‘Because,’ said the farmer, ‘my Democratic neighbor next door got the best of me in an argument last night. But when I get my Semi-ll eekly Tribune to-morrow, I’ll knock the foundation all out from under him.’ Mr. Charles A. Dana, who was NTr. Greeley’s num aging editor years a'go, recounted some personal recollections of the great editor. He prefaced his remarks by expressing gratification at seeing the faces of many Decmorats of standing in the audience. It was fitting that people without distinction of party should unite in such a celebration “It is wonderful,” said Mr. Dana, “how little personal controversy there is now in our newspapers as compared with those times. But there was nothing to be found in the Tribune which did not cuntribute to its dignity, weight, and moral greatn As an illustration ho told how Gen. James Watson Webb had critizised in a newspaper that freedom of dress and bearing which Mr. Greeley carried almost to the extent of eccentricity. “Mr. Greeley,” said Mr. Dana, gravely, “was the opposite of a dude.” Gen. Webb had recently been pardoned out of State prison by Gov. Seward. Mr. Greeley’s reply to the attack was: “Our dress may be queer, but it is nothing to what Webb’s would । have been if Seward had pardoned j him.” Mr. Greeley was a thorough । American, and there was no letting ' down at any time. Mr. Dana closed a reference to Mr. Greeley’s political defeat by saying that he had neither sympathy nor respect dor tho criticism that Mr. Greeley had no business to , have political ambitions, and to aspire : to sit in the chair of GvC” Washington. There is too little of such ambition in these days. George William Curtis spoke of the Tribune's early days. “The power of the paper,” he said, “was largely due to popular faith in the editor. Never was a paper more happily named, for Mr. Greeley was distinctly a popular tribune, a defender of popular liberties, a leader of a great popular cause. The Tribune was the only newspaper in this country which a multitude of readers regarded as a political bible. In those days reading the Tribune in tho farm-house was a part of family prayer.” Mr. Cnrtis related this instance of Mr. Greeley’s ready wit: “One day before the war, when he was in Paris, Mr.

tell you,’ he said, with pathetic warmth, ‘what we need in America is a darned good licking.’ An Englishman who happened to hear the remark stepped up briskly rubbing his hands, as ( as if he knew a nation that would like to administer the castigation, and said: । ‘Yes, sir* you are right; that is just what you do need in America.’ ‘But I the difficulty is,’continued Mr. Greeley, , still looking at the pictures, as if he heard nothing, ‘the difficulty is that there’s no nation in the world that can ' lick us.’” Three Curious Mice. Mice of different kinds are found in , nearly every part of the world, and some of the species are exceedingly inI foresting, savs a writer in Fick's Floral i । Monthly. One called tarsipes rostrasus is a native of Australia. It is about the size of the common mouse. Its muzzle is long and pointed, with sum" mouth. 1 The tail is longer than the head and body combined, and is prehensile, and, as it makes its home in trees and bushes, it uses the tail in swinging from branch to branch. Its food is honev, which it extracts from flowers with its long tongue, as the humming-bird does. The harvest mouse of Englund is a most interesting little creature. One of the smallest of quadrupeds, for it measures, head and body combined, only 21 inches long, with a tail also as long. This mouse is found in the hay and wheat fields, and it is there that it makes its curious nest of grasses and leaves, the latter cut in threads by the ! little animal, and wove together to form a complete bail with an opening so small that it cannot easily be found, and * which closes immediately upon the exit or entrance of its occupant. It is in । this nest that the mor ie raises her family of little ones until they, in their tur-n, are large enough to go forth into the world to make their own wav in rife. The wood mouse, or long tailed, mouse is still another species. It is a gentle, timid little creature, but easily tamed, somewhat larger than the common mouse. As the harvest riouse.it is also found in grain fields, where it is very tormenting to the farmer, for it carries off a generous supply of the grain, which it stores away just under the surface of the earth, or hides in thick tufts of grass for its own use. Os the many species of these little creatures which are scattered over the world, these are a few of special interest. High Places. The highest place in the world regularly inhabited is stated to be the Buddhist Monastery Halne, in Thibet, which is about 16,000 feet above sea level. The next highest is Galera, a railway station in Peru, which is located at a height of 15,635 feet. Near it, at the same level, a railway tunnel 2,847 feet in length is being driven through the mountains. The elevation of the city of Potosi, in Bolivia, is 13,330 feet; Cuzco, Peru, 11,380 feet; La Paz, Bolivia, 10,883 feet; and Leadville, Gol., 10,200. (

JN MEMORY OF GRANT. GROUND BROKEN FOR A MONUMENT TO THE SOLDIER. Martial Music and Sweet Voices of Children Hallow the Occasion — Glowing Eulogies by General Horace Porter and G. A. K. Commander Freeman. Ground has been broken for the monument which is to be raised at Riverside Park, New York, where rests all that is mortal of tho great hero of tho rebellion, Gen. Grant. Tho ceremony was performed amid tho plaudits of thousands of citizens, tho blaro of trumpets, tho boating of dr ims, the booming of cannon, the melody of children’s voices, and the elojuenco of ora'tors. There, upon tho hillside, gathered the membe s of tho Grand Army of tho Republic and a number of other bodies, who, ranging themselves around tho tomb, paid reverence to the memory of him whom all nations honored while In life. On the Hudson River, decorated with bunting, lay anchored opposite tho tomb the warship Y’antic, and at two o’clock her guns commenced to belch forth a salute of twenty-c guns, which were fired at intervals of thirty seconds. On the platform near the mound were gathered the memuers of the Monument Association, the members of Alexander Hamilton Post, G. A. R., the leading members of the various Grand Army posts, and tho orators who had boon selected for the occasion. Before the regular ceremonies commenced Lawson W. Fuller, at tho head of 3,00 children from the Sheltering Arms” institution and a drum and fife corps playing “America, ” marched past tho tomb with flags drooped. Each child carried a bouquet of forget-me-nots, which were cast upon the tomb. The Marino Band played an overture, after which tho Rev. Dr. Clark Wright, chaplain, of Department Commander Freeman’s staff, offered prayer, and a chorus sang “Tho Star Spangled Banner.” Commander Freeman j resided and in a few well-chosen words introduced Gen. Horace Porter, the orator of the day. After sketching his career to tho outbreak of the rebellion and pointing out the marked literary ability shown in his dispatches and memoirs. Gen.

But we come to-day to perform tho preparatory work for a monument to the grandest soldier of them all—Ulysses S. Grant Born in comparative poverty, ho made his way step by .'-top to the high-sr honor which this nation could bestow. Without brilliant genius or gifts of < ratory, he furnished inspiration for others and pushed right on in his purpose until tho goal was reached. Hi> a-hes pest here, but our broad land is his burial place. We call h m ours, but the nations of the civilized world vied with ea h other in showing him honor "We gather,” sad tho speaker, “not simply as tho representatives of tho "hundreds of thousands of living and dead whom he led to victory, of the entire nation, the men wis wore tho blue Now. in th" pr< of tho Almighty God and the** viinfocs, we, the representatives ol ihe Grand Army of the Republic, break tho sod preparatory to laying the foundation of tho monument which shall stand as a slight expression of tho love of this nation for its great chieftain and shall tell to all tho world that the United States of America does not forget her heroic dead.” At tho close of h's remarks Commander Freeman took tho spado in his hands and with it tossed up tho earth. This ended the ceremonies and the crowd dispersed. Piano lamps with brass-mounted \a-es I and silk umbrella shades arc as fashionable as ever; so are tho fine cut glass, I porcelain and faience bouquet lamps In I brass and gilt mo mtings. Pretty trays of various sizes and designed for pens, pins and other smdll objects, are this season out in decorated china and cut glass, tho shanes being much the same as those occurring in sib ver.
