Crop Report for August.
The estimates in* this report are
baaed on more than 1,0*50 returns received since August 1.
The average yield of wheat per acre
as estimated on the first of this month
is, in the southern counties 15.57 bushels; in the central counties 15.05 bushels, and in the northern counties 15-46
bushels. The average for the State is
15.47 bushels. Wheat is of excellent
quality. Fully uine-tonths of the correspondents report the quality "good"'
or "average."'
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in July
is 847,982, as compared with 541,858
reported marketed in July 1893. The
total number of bushels reported marketed in the twelve months, August—
July is ]5,140,2SS, which is S43,9oI
bushels more than reporled marketed
in tbe same months last year,
Oats are estimated to yield 28 bushels per acre in tbe southern counties,
and the State, 27 bushels in the central, and 23 bushels in the northern
counties.
The average condition of corn is reported at75 per cent in the southern
counties, SS in the central, and Si) in
northern counties. The average for
the State is SO. One year ago the percentages were 91 for the southern and
central, and 101 for the northern counties. The percentages for potatoes are,
southern counties G8, central 79, northern 82, upper peninsular 77, and State
72.
Meadows and pastures, and clover
sowed this j-ear , are in poor condition.
The percentages range from 66 to 77.
Apples promise 53 per cent of an average crop in the southern counties as
compared with 21 per cent one year
ago. In the central and northern
counties the outlook is for two-thirds
of an average crop. One year ago the
estimate for the central county was 35
per cent, and for the northern 61 per
cent.
The bright sunshine, high temperature, and dry weather that has prevailed throughout the State since the
first of July, is telling severely on all
crops. There were very few cloudy
days in July, and the weather much of
the time was intensely warm. At
Lansing the average temperature of
the month was 1.5S degrees above the
normal of fifteen years. The average
rainfall in the State in June was only
about two-thirds the uormal, and in
the southern and eeutral counties little more than half the normal. There
was no general soaking rain during
July, nor bas there heen to this date
in August. A rain extending over
considerable area occured July 20, but
it is insufficient to afford more than
temporary relief.

THE EAGLE'S EYE.
Wliy It Can See Both Irs'rjarby or Distant Objects Equally Well.
All birds of prey have a peculiarity
of eye structure that enables them to
see near or distant objects equally welL
An eagle -will ascend more than a mile
in perpendicular height, and from that
elevation can perceive its -unsuspecting
prey and pounce upon it -with unerring
certainty. Set the same "bird can scrutinize -with almost microscopic nicety an
object close at hand, thus possessing a
power of accommodating its sight to
distance in a manner to -which the human eye is unfitted, and of -which it ia
totally incapable.
In looking at a printed page we find
that there is some particular distance,
probably 10 inches, at which we can
read the words aud see each letter with
perfect distinctness, but if the page he
moved to a distance of 40 inches or
brought within a distance of five inches
we find it impossible to read it at alL
A scientific man would therefore call 10
inches the focus or focal distance of
our eyes. This focus cannot be altered
except by the aid of spectacles.
But an eagle has the power of altering the focus of its eye just as it pleases.
It has only to look at an object at the
distance of two feet or of two miles in
order to see it with perfect distinctness.
Of course the eagle knows nothing of
the wonderful contrivance that the
Creator has supplied for its accommodation. It employs it instinctively and
because it cannot help i-fe. The ball of
the eye is surrounded ty 15 little plates
called sclerotic bones. They form a
complete ring, and their edges slightly
overlap each other. When it looks at
a distant ohject, this little circle of
bones expands, and the ball of the eye,
being relieved from the pressure, be-
coAes flatter. When it looks at a very
near object, the little bones press together, and the hall of the eye is thus
squeezed into a rounder or more convex
form.
The effect is very familiar to everyone. A person with very round eyes is
near sighted, and a person with flat
eyes, as in old age, can see nothing except at a distance. The eagle, by the
mere will, can make its eyes round or
flat and see with equal clearness at any
distance.—Philadelphia Times.

The Women of Hellas.
Alas for the Greek ideals 1 Here is
what the women of Hellas look like
now, as told by a correspondent: "The
women wear short, shapeless tight
skirts reaching a little above the ankles,
made of the same material as their rugs,
and a short white tunic made of coarse
serge. Their hair is worn in a long
braid, aud to make it reach past the
waist they plait in horsehair or black
tow and decorate it with cheap coins,
beads or coarse, "bright *cottons. Greek
children are pretty, and so are the very
young girls, hut when they step from
childhood to womanhood they soon lose
all their good looks. The women toil
not; neither do they spin. They are as
lazy as the men and seem to have no
higher idea of life than lying in the sun
and drinking coffee or cold water. The
food is a cross between German and
Greek. The bread is black and underbaked, and the butter is churned from
sheep's milk and never gets solid. The
cow is not a milk purveyor in Athens,
hut a hunible "beast of toil. Our breakfasts were served in our rooms and were
severely simple. They consisted of green
tea, with sheep's milk, black bread and
the pure honey of Hymettus. Thehoney
of Hymettus is not so delightful as it
sounds, because the bees browse among
the strong scented asphodels, with
which the mountain is covered, and the
result is not appetizing.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Personal Considerations.
Mrs. Home, the wife of the author
who wrote "The Tragedy of Douglas,"
was very infirm and very peculiar and
spent her time on a sofa in tho unusual
occupation of chewing nutmegs.
A gentleman who was a great admirer of her husband's work called one day
to see him, and not finding him thought
it would be only less delightful to talk
with the wife of so celebrated a man.
He was ushered into her presence and
began to ingratiate himself hy praising
her husband. She mado no answer.
Then he attempted to talk on topics of
general interest, and still she was silent'
At last she spoke.
"Any prospect of a peace?" she inquired.
"Yes,"he replied enthusiastically,
certain now that conversation had really begun, "there is every hope that a
glorious peace will soon be concluded."
"Oh, aye!" said she. "Will it rank'
any difference in the price o' nutmugs?"
The hero worshiper took his leave.—
Youth's Companion.
Auction Sales.
Sales hy auction, so far from being
an invention of late years, were known
as far back as the time of the Romans.
It is supposed by some that they chiefly
used the plan to dispose of the  spoils
taken in war.    As these sales were said
to take place under the spear, it is fair
to conclude that they stuck a long spear
in the ground to mark ihe place where
the sale would be held.    It was long
! the custom iu England to mark the
! time during which bids might be off er-
1 cd by burning  an inch of candle, the
' last offer before the light went out being of course the one that took the article on sale.    This custom led many to-
j mako no bid until the candle was near-
' Iy out, and many often delayed so long
that the end of the flame still found
them silent.—St Louis Globe-Democrat.
