I'UEPA RATIONS for ' he inevitable
struggle are actively under way in
Europe, yet there does not seem to
be much in the rumors that t he con
flict will take place thisyear. None
of the nations are ready for hostil
ities, except Germany, which, ap
parently, is prepared for any
emergency at all times. Moreover,
the high prices for grain, which arc
certaiti to prevail for the next ten
or twelve months, would make this
an exceedingly bad time to start a
big- European war. Globe Democrat.

Usually when uuian ha.i been run over
by an engine and a train f five cars the
coroner hits on what i left of him. With
the exception of the coroner's inquest,
that i.s what hnrtnened to Jacob Kahn.
Nevertheless he Tb none the worse for
his remarkable experience. Nature made
Kahn a very thin man, and to this fact
he owea his life." Kahn is about twenty
two years old, and i.s a journeyman
baker, lie is not very tall, but his thin
ness is a standing joke iu the neighborhood.
Being good natured, it never angered
him, and he was wont to lauzh and re
ply that Rome day they would envy hiin
for being dlender. About 7 o'clock he
was talking to some acquaintances s.t
Second titreet and (iemautown avenue,
when a shifting engine, drawing five
heavy freight cars, came along. Just a
it was almost opposite to him Kahn step
ped right between the tracks. A dozen
people shouted and screamed, and Kahn
saw his danger. Whether he suddenly
realized that his remarkable thinness
might bo the means of saving his life, 01
whether it was merely fright is not
known, but he fell flat on his face as the
engine came up and passed over him,
The engineer could not stop and went
right on, while the people stood trans
fixed with horror. The five cars passed
over him. A policeman and a big crowd
ran into the street to gather up the
mangled corpse. Imagine their surprise
when Kahn jumped tip, apparently tin
hurt, brushing the dust from his new
trousers. Philadelphia Press.

AMERICAN GRAIN FOR EXPORT
The reports from the foreign
grain fields continue to be dis
couruging. The latest intelligence
from Kngland is to the effect. that
the farmers are in desair and that
the price of flour is irointr tit). The
excessive rain seems to be drench
ng the English farms and cutfing
off the last hone of arood crops. In
no foreign country is there aii3- im
provement in the crop outlook.
Already the exportation f Amer
ican corn is on the increase. Tlit
value of the exports of domestic'
breadstuffs from this country
shows the effect of an enlarged
Kuropean demand. The value of
the breadstuffs exported in July,
1890, was (IO.733.UiiO, and iu -July of
this year $10,379,291, an increase of
more than one-third. - The increase
of the entire last half of the last
fiscal year was less than that of last
month. The details, stated in quan-
tit3, rather than value, are still
more notable. The vpheat exported
n July,. 1800, was 4.366.5.')4 bushels
and in July, 1891, 9,418,773, showing
an increase of more than 100 per
cent. The price per bushel was not
so very different a little less than a
dollar last year, a little more than a
dollar this year. The great change
in price was in corn. The exports
of July, 1890, were ti,(i()2.044 bushels,
and 3,05(5,118, in 1891, a falling off of
more than one half in quantity, but
the figures for values are, July, 1890,
$2,970,137: I til v. 1891. $2,052,494. There
is every prospect that for the fiscal
year as a whole the prices of 1891
and the quantities of 1890 will com
bine.
The rye exportation during the
period named was insignificant
Ordinarily this country exports but
very little rye.Tj about $1,300,000 last
year. The highest mark ever
reached was less than five millons.
Hut this year will be different. The
largest rve crop ever raised 111 tins
country was in 1882, 29,900,037 bushels
The yield of this year is estimated
at something over thirty millions
of bushels. Belgium and Germany
led last year in the consumption
of our r-e, followed by Scotland,
Kngland, and Canada, in the order
observed. More than half the rye
of commerce is produced ordinarily
by Russia. The total average yield
of the rye-producing countries is
1,274.800,000 bushels, of which Russia
furnishes o92,800,000 bushels. Kvi
dently, in the face of the Russian
ukase against exporting r3"e, the
people of continental Kurope
who have depended so Fargely upon
Russia for the raw material of their
' black bread" will have to conquer
their prejudice against corn as
breadstuff, and be thankful that a
product so good is so abundant.

Another War ltible Story.
George Althisar, a veteran of the war
and now filling the place of letter car
rier at the iKjstofnce in Port Jervis, at
tended the Grand Army reunion at De
troit, and .took occasion while there to
restore to a comrade a long lost Bible with
an interesting history. The Bible was
originally a gift -to David Webster, a
Michigan volunteer, from his mother on
the eve of his departure for Virginia in
1861. Webster lost the book at the sec
ond laattle of Bull Run.
It fell into the hands of a Confederate
soldier of Stonewall Jackson's command
named Hayes. Following the moth
er s inscription to her 6on on the fly
leaf the soldier wrote a brief statement
of the circumstances under winch it
came into his possession. lie abandoned
ids knapsack containing the book on the
battlefield at Bristow's station.
Althisar picked the volume up and
had carefully preserved it for twenty
six years as an intetesting relic of a des
perately fought battle. He was .for
tunate in finding Comrade Webster at
the Detroit reunion and in restoring to
him a relic doubly precious because the
mother who gave it had died. Cor.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF A
LIFE TIME.
Swarmed on tbe Farmer.
Peter Gross, who lives near York
Springs. Md., had been working hard
all the morning and about 10 o'clock
concluded to take a nap under a cherry
tree. He had just fallen into a doze
when he heard a buzzing sound. He
awoke to find a hive of his own bees
swarming on his head. Rushiug into
the field he thought that by covering his
head with earth ho could get rid of
them. But that did not have the desired
effect.
Being on the crest of one of the high
hills which surround his house, he then
threw himself on the ground, gave his
body a shove and down he went, rolling
over stones, sticks and hushes, until at
last he reached the kitchen door. By
that time the bees had left him, and, al
though he was very much cut and
bruised, none of the wounds were seri
ous. Baltimore American.
Among other reasons why it is
better to invest in South Park -than
elsewhere in the city, are these:
l'roperty is more saleable if you
wisli to sell, more rentable it you
wish to rent; if looking for an
crease in value.no other part of the
city will compare with it in prospect
The 5th ward composed largely of
South Park, less than three years
ago could hardly muster up a vole
at the last general election the vote
was 139 and all were not polled. It
has been less than two years since
the city invited us into tlie torpor-.
ate limits, yet we haveover one hun

llemarkabln Growth of Tobacco.
J. W. Cook came in Saturday and told
about some tobacco he is raising. La6t
year he raised a crop of the weed, and
after he cut it in the fall suckers grew
out from the stumps. These suckers re
tained their vitality all winter and in the
spring began growing with increased
vigor. Mr. Cook pruned them down to
one to the hill and cultivated the crop.
He says it is just as good as the crop he
planted last spring, the leaves being
broad and heav', instead of narrow and
peaked as the leaves of suckers usually
are. Elsberry (Mo.) Advance.
A Mean Swindle.
Newark, N. J., has a man with a novel
idea of the installment plan. He sells, a
clock for one dollar down and fifty cents
a week. In a couple of days he visits
the buyer, saying that his employer had
sent a clock which had not been tested,
and therefore might not keep good time.
Then he takes the timepiece away, prom
ising to bring another next day, out
never shows up. There are about a
dozen cases of this kind charged to his
account in Newark alone. Philadelphia
