The child was literally covered from bead to foot with a red mad. ex- ceedingly troublesome rash, frcan which sbe bad suffered for two or three years, in spite of the best medical treatment available. Her father was in great distress about the case, and, at my recommendation, at last began to ad- minister Ayer's Sarsaparilla, two bot- tles of which effected a complete cure, ranch to her relief and her father's delight.

Canary seed alone continues to advance in price, partly on account of the unfavor- able reports concerning the new Turkish crop. The returna of the Western cattle market of Toronto, for the first half of the year, show an increase in the hog and sheep trade, butthe receipts of cattle have fallen off about liper cent. The returns give the number of cattle as 41,737, and in the corresponding period of 1893 42,314. The number of sheep is 20,617 against 9,286 last year, and the number of hogs 55,674 as compared with 32,732 in the first half TREEXETER TIMES. year of 1893. The lTnited States G-overnmene report on the crops issued • this week shows that the condition at the close of last month was 68 against 88 at the end of May and 71 in July, 1893. The drop of nearly 20 points in a month is almost sensational. The average condition of the spring and winter wheat is 79.3. The area of corn is estitna.ted at 76,000,000 acres against 72,- 000,000 last year, but the condition of the corn crop has improved from 93.2 in June, 1893 to 85 this year. This indicates an unusually heavy crop of corn. The failures in the United States in the second quarter of 1894, were 2,734, against 3,199 last year, and the amount of liabili- ties in commercial failures only was $37, 595,973, against $63,982,179 in the first quarter of the year, and $121,541,239 in. eluding all reported in the second quarter of lastyear. There is a heavy decrease in manufacturing liabilities, $13,421,124, against$27,954,978 in the first quarter, and also in trading liabilities, 818,585,792, against $33,760,186 in the first quarter. Thus in the important classes the commer- eial failures show a most encouraging im- provement during the second quarter, though the half yearly return is large. The aggregate for the half year, 7,031 commer- cial failures with $101,578,152 liabilities, has not been surpassed in the first half of any year except the last. There was a FOR the removal c great decrease in banking failures, which worms or all kind. numbered only 63, with liabilities of $13, from children or adult, 184,461,and in railroad receiverships,evhich numbered 17, with 346,800,695 of indebted - nese exclusive of stock. Business has not responded to the rather cheering news about the harvest, nor to the improved financial conditions indicated by the recently published annual statements of our banks. An entire absence of specu- lative buying has left the produce market without any support. Although manufactur- ers are now in receipt of regular supplies of coal, no improvement has been recorded or is indicated by reliable data. The craps appear promising throughout the most of the Dominion and the news from the North- West, in spite of a scarcity of rain lately, is on the whole encouraging. Favorable weather between now and harvest cannot fail to add considerably to present estimates of the expected yield. To most parte of our country the good crops have always been regarded as most essential „to prosperity, as other resources are limited, but of late another eleraent, fully as much beyond our control as the natural elements, has entered the situation, mid that is the question of supply from India and the Argentine Republic. Few realize the phenomenal increase in the wheat ex- ported from Argentina. There is now more exported from that great county than from the whole of the North American Continent. Their exports increased in February last by 16 per cent., in March they more then doubled and in .April the gain was 86 per cent The United Kingdom alrne has been recently taking about 8,000,000 bushels a month from a country which about a year ago eent out only 4,900,000 bushels, and Which a few years ago sent abroad no wheat at rill. When to these portentious facts it le added that, notwithstanding the large quantity already shipped, Argentina has left of this year's crop alone about 40,000,000 bushels for export, we begin to get some idea of the meaning where our farmers, and all of us, are in this corapetition. The prospects are that Argentine exports are likely to increase still more in the near future. This would now be expected under normal con- ditions, but they will be speeially stimulated by the preseet peculiar situation in that country. The appreciation of gold, aeeorn. pared with their currency, has risen to 300, and the consequent decline in the purchasing power of their currency tends both to check imports and increarte the volume of eXports.

ERIE MEDICAL Cali Buffalo, LY. small daguerreotype of his fax -distant wife, managed to fight down hie horne.loeging as successfully as any bachelor of us all— though that is not saying much. On at cer- tain morning—it was my turn to gook, and I had risen half an hour before niy partner __when I loeked into our little tent to an- nounce breakfast I found Wells crying like a baby, and, on inquiring the cause,learned that, during the 3110 t, for Borne inexplicable reason, the counterfett of his wife's features had vanished so completely from the ring's medallion that not a trace of the picture remained. Hence the poor fellowse grief, andnow the terriblehome- sickness so preyed upon him that for two whole days he was actually incapacitated for work. About a month after this a rumor circu- lated through. our camp that an immigrant lately from England, and located sonee dis- tance further down stream, had brought with him an English lark. The news spread far and wide, from river to bill and from hill to gulch, and when the next Sunday, 40 or 50 of us went to see the precious songster, we found fully 500 rough -bearded, tender-laearted men congregated abont the lucky owner'a tent, listening, enraptured, to the old, familiar trill of the bird's sweet carol. 1Many of these hardy diggers, great, strong fellows, whom no dangers could ap. pal, hal. tramped 20 miles simply to see and hear a common lark, solely because it came from their own island home, and it was nothing less than pathetin to observe how deeply each one was affected by the liquid, musical notes, calling vividly to mind never -to -be -forgotten joys. I have reason to know, however, that thia sentimental in- dulgence cost not a few of the sturdy Bri- tons many an hour of lost time in the follow- ing week. This little incident has Wen told with some variations from this ; but I was there as an eye witness and the facts are as here stated. I may add that I saw the owner of the bird refuse more than one offer of ;e10 Sterling for his prize. One day—it was in 1853,1 think—a num. her of ns set off across the ranges on a visit to the postolfice at Caslemaine, about eight miles from our own diggings, in the always present hope of receiving home letters. Oh! those monthly trips ! Shall I ever forget them ? Each step of the thither journey made light and buoyant by fond anticipa- tion, each foot of the return seeming, only too often, a furlong in length, dragged out in the weariness of disappointed hopes! We were a party of 20, all istout young fellows under SO years old, and as we went along over the quartz -strewn hills and through the shallow valleys, all clothed with a gorg- eous profusion of strange shrubs and flowers, and saw myriad birds of brilliant plumage, from the tiny pagoquet to ths great crested cuckatoo, flitting about from tree to tree, while overhead Phone the dazzling rays of an Australian sun, our spirits rose to the point of ecstasy and each one of us felt sure that this time he would certainly receive the long -expected missive. Cheerfully, then'we trudged along and at last tame to the brow of the heights over- looking the commissioner's headquarters. There,on a level space in front of the tents, about one third of a mile from us, were drawn up, in their scarlet uniforms and with flashing arms, some 200 men of the British 401h Regiment of the line! As we thus stood, in a kind of dazed be- wilderment, the splendid regimental band struck up ; and strangely, the musicians selected as the first piece "Home, Sweet Rome 1" Then, indeed, the foonteins of the great deep were broken up and w roughly -clad, clay -begrimed miners threw uurselvea upon the ground, totally over- come by the rush of tender memories awakened by the familiar old air ; while boyish tears, of which all forgot to be ashamed, trickled down each sun -burnt "cheek. By-and-by we rose and wandered slowly down the slope to ward the large canvas tent which then served as a postoffice. While we were taking our places in rear of the long line of anxious diggers waiting their turn at the wicket, a young fellow of our company wistfully said : "Oh, boys, how shall we live through it if we don't hear from home this time ?" and the ques- tion found an eeho in each expectant heart. But, alas 1 only three men of our 20 re. celvecl letters that day, and the homesick youth was not one of them. As we sadly walked back to camp, our party more nearly resembled a funeral procession than a squad of usually.reckless miners—the three fortunate individuals considerately restraining their exuberant joy out of sympathy for the luckless 17. While working on the Australian gold- fields I have frequently known men, who were fast making money, suddenly drop all their bright prospects and as suddenly start off homewardfor no other reation than because they did not receive letters. I myself was one of these, For over two years I toiled on the diggings and got, during all that time, but one batch of let- ters, though on my return home I found that my people had written me regularly once a month. fiaisy %Val tick, we itattl5 her Olist0146.

The bodies of four United States soldiers were pierced by projectiles and torn apart so that they died instantly, being blown far froM the scene of alaughtf3r. Two of the wounded soldiers are not expected to live. Eight more were burned awl struck with leaden and wooden missiles, and half a dozen or more civilians were injured. 825,000 DAMAGZ TO PROPERTY. Many citizens who followed the military column were thrown to the ground, and more or leas bruised. Ab least 825,000 worth of damage was done to the property of the residents on beth sides of Grand - boulevard for half a block north of Oak. wood.boulevard. Houses in adjoining street were also damaged. The ill-fated body of troops was proceed- ing south from the lake front camp along Grand -boulevard at a trot. Having no rioters to quell or railroad property to pro- tect, the eoldiers were out for drill and ex- ercise. Capt. Dodd of Troop F, Third Cavalry from Fort Riley, was in command of the mounted column and was riding in advance. Lb. Lyon of the same troop rode beside him. Captain Varnum of troop B, Seventh Cavalry, probably owes his life to the fact that he had left his command temporarily and was riding abreast of Cap- tain Dodd, when the terrible cannonade shook the ground like an earthquake. WIIAT THE AMMUNITION CREST coevranean. The third detachment in the column was the ill-starred section ef Battery F, Second Light Artillery, from Fort Riley, Lieut. Gayle and 14 men, bearing two Hotchkies fieldpieces and four caissons filled with shrapnel, common shell and bags of powder trailing after the guns. The rear was brought up by Troop B, Seventh Cavalry, from Fort Sheridan, in command of Lieut. Thompkins. When within 100 feet of Oakwood-boula- vard there was a crash on the ears oi •the soldiers and civilians, a roar like a mighty burst of thunder, followed in an instant by a succession of sharp explosions. The half - dazed soldiers in the rear of the first cais- sons saw smoke and filmes belch from the receptacle for the death -dealing missiles, The artillerymen received the brunt of the explosionabeing directly in the rear of caisson. A BODY BLOWN 500 FEET OVER TREE TOT'S. Donovan and Doyle were sitting on the caisson which exploded. Donovan was blown through the air'over the trees 50 feet high s. distance of 500 feet across a va- cant lot, dropping on the Union stock yards railroad tracks. His companion, Doyle, was hurled 300 feet across the intersection of Oakwood -boulevard on the opposite side of Grand -boulevard. 13oth bodies were terribly mangled. Geller, the farrier of the Seventh Cavalry troop, was riding in the second column be- hind the artillery. The shot and shell which hurled him to the ground a bleeding corpse entered his head over the troopers in the front ranks. Part of the leaden load which tore through eialler's head took off half of Kane's ear, HORSES HURLED 100 FEET AWAY. All the eight artillery horses are dead. The four which pulled the first gun were hurled in front of the exploding powder and shells to a grassy part of the boulevard 100 feee away. Three were killed outright • being shot through and through. The fourth seen had to be put out of his misery. The four horses drawing the second gun were hurled to one side of the boulevard on the grass and all instantly killed. Galler's horse was shot under him. A RUSH TO THE RESCUE. Every soldier stood at his post under the fire of the artillery, and those who were unhurt came quickly to succor those who were not beyond earthly aid • before the re-echo of the last explosion had died away. Civilian surgeons hearing the deafening roar hurried to the scene with appliances, and the wounds of the living were soon oughly dressed. Military surgeons follow- ed when the news of the dieaster to the troops reached Camp Miles. Wagon loads of police came flying to the scene to restore order and keep -the gathering thousands of civilians from encroaching' on the scene of carnage. The remains of Donovan, Doyle and Galler were picked up and removed in the police ambulance to Hyde Park Morgue. How to get a "Sunlight" Picture.

Two tittle Waifs Left at the nounventoire Station, Montreal. The other afternoon a man well on in years arrived at the Bohaventore Station, Montreal, from Quebec with two young children. The party were bound for Lowell, Mass. He left the little ones in the waiting. room and started up town, The afternoon deepened into evening, and evening into night, but the father did not return.

Stopping beneath one of the treds, the soldier plucked some of the fruit and ate them, whereupon the peasant remarked to a friend who was with him, "Here's a soldier eating my cherries 1 1 am going to teach him not to do that again," and went off. He returned in a few mintites with his gun a hich was loaded with buckshot, And orept unnoticed to -within some forty yards of the soidier; who was still leisurely plucking the irate peasant's cherries. Taking deliberate aim, the man tired both barrels of his gun, one after the other, wounding the unfortunate artilleryman in the head. The latter had just strength enough to run to a neighboring inn and gave a hasty account of the affair before he expired. The murderer, whom the dead man's ooniradea were with difficulty prevented from "lynol ng," and who had remarked to a peasant ,., t e village ,just before he was taken into custody, "I have not merely frightened him this time, I have damaged the thief considerably," showed not the slightest remorse for what he had done. His only word e when ques- tioned by the officers were "Do you know that during the time he were, under my cherry tree he n-iust have stolen at least two pennyworth of fruit." linman Height. A statistician ,who has made researches is to the average of height at different per- iods of history has come to some alarming conclusions. The facts reported comprise nearly three centuries. Re finds that in 161 0 the average height of Europeans was 5 ft. 7 in, In 1790 it Wal3 515. 6 in. ln 1820, 5 ft. 5 in, and a fraction ; while to -day it is 5 ft. 32 in. It is easy to deduce from these facts that there is a regular and gradual diminu. tion in human height. Carrying out the sante idea, the statistician has calculated the past, and Rrophesies the future. The stature of the nrst men must have been 16 feet 9 in. The race had already degenerated in the time of Og, and Goliath was an un- worthy representative of a race of giants, But if one pursues the same Calculation with regard to the future, 9ne finds that in 4,000 years man will not be more than 15in. high, while in some thousands of years more the end of the world must inevitably errive, as man will by that time have reached the vanishing point.
