J WHEAT PROSPECTS. Last year American wheat grower enjoyed a double advantage. Thei own. crop was an abundant one , an * outside of the United States there ws nn almost world-wide deficiency. Thl occasioned an active demand fo American wheat , intensified by the fac thai the world's crop In 1SSC also hai been deficient. The government reports show tha our exports of food products reaohe * a value in the fiscal year just closed o more than eight hundred million del lars. Of breadstuffs alone wo sen abroad last year nearly one million doi lars' worth for every business day. The government forecasts Indicat. that the wheat crop this year will bi even larger than last year. As usu ally happens , after a particularly prof Itable crop , there has been an incrcas < in the acreage , which is this year b : far the largest ever recorded. The condition of the winter whca crop , according to the system of per centages on which the governmen makes Its forecasts , is better than foi seven years , and is twelve per cent ir advance cf that of last year. Tht 'spring wheat crop is not beyond tlu .influence of adverse weather condi- .tions ; but the June estimate was [ higher than for fifteen years , and elev- cn per cent , in advance of June lasl year. Later private reports were lest favorable than this. Foreign crop prospects are not yet sufficiently defined to afford a basis foi estimates. It is not probable that the deficiency of last year and the yeai preceding will be repeated ; but the world's supplies have recently run so low that , even with a good crop in other wheat-producing countries , there is likely to be an active demand for the surplus from our wheat fields. A POSSIBLE TRAGEDY. An English magazine , the Woman at Home , told recently an incident in the life of the Princess of Wales , which shows how accuracy and thoroughness were the means of avoiding a possible catastrophe. The princess Is , it ap pears , an enthusiastic amateur pho tographer , and with her daughter , the Princess Victoria , Is in the habit cf taking pictures cf the scenery , people and animals in and about Sandring- ham , herself developing and mounting them afterward. Several months ago while out in the park , she took a snap-shot of the rail road bridge at Wolferton while a freight train was crossing it. When the picture was printed the princess observed a slight curve in the bridge. She went to the place from which she had taken it , and carefully inspected the structure. There was no such curve in it perceptible. "I held the camera at a wrong angle , , no doubt , " she said , and waiting until another train crossed , took another picture , developed and printed it. Again the depression appeared at the same point in the bridge. She carried the picture anxiously to the Prince of Wales , who sent for the su perintendent of the railroad. On in quiry It was found that the engineers of the trains had perceived a vibrating motion when crossing the bridge. It was examined , found unsafe and con demned. The persistence of the princess in seeking to make perfect her little pic ture , and the intelligence that noted the slight deflection and saw in it a possible danger , in all probability pre vented a catastrophe , and possibly a frightful loss of human life. Surgery for Animals. Veterinary surgeons are becoming so skilled that no longer is an ounce of ead the chief medicine administered ; o a suffering pet anivaal. At the Royal Veterinary college , Camden Town.Eng- and , some wonderful operations have 3een performed lately. The beast is 'astened in a stock and chloroform is idministered , and as much pains are aken as if a royal duke was the pa- ient. .A mongrel mastiff pup , who vas given a false leg , takes great pride n his wooden member. He soundly brashes other dogs with it in the bouts n which he still engages to the in- ense amazement of his opponents. A : ollie belonging to the duchess of Marl- trough was run over by a cab and one if its legs had to be amputated. A alse leg of aluminum was supplied , [ he joints at the knee are movable ; prSngs. One little dog , a valuable whippet , was so annoyed by its artifi- ial legs that they were taken off , ancl t hops about like a kangaroo. When ! torses' tails are docked they have no irotection from the flies if they are urned out to pasture. Therefore false ails are devised , which allow them to njoy their communion with nature.

Argonaut's Return from AlasKn on the Jloanokc Jcncjuln Milter Say * tl > c Mines Arc the Kiclivgt in the World and Hardest to Work. Seattle , Wash. , July 19. The North American Trading and Transportation Company's steamer Roanoke arrived here at 3:30 : o'clock this afternoon from St. Michael's , Alaska , with 240 pas sengers nnd with about four tons of gold , which , reduced to dollars , amounts to between ? 1,5COCOO and ? - , - 000,000. Of this amount the Canadian Bank of Commerce had 5,000 ounces and the North American Tiading and Trans portation Company 20,000 ounces. Probably 50 per cent of the returning miners have fortunes averaging at least $10,000 each. Joaquin Miller , the well known poet , who was among the Roanoke's passen gers , briefly expressed the general ten or of the storits told by the Roanokc's passengers as follows : "The Klondike mines are certainly the richest ever found on the face of the earth , but this geld is tenfold harder to get than in any camp I have ever seen. " Tl.is is a list of those having the largest individual amounts : VTiii.n Slonu..jlIOItobcrt I.nscjr..t ! C.CCO J. S. Opdeli ItUKX ) Davlil I'cneckon. . Trnnk Smith t , 00 Alex.Uttlc J , ' J II. Lt-CKinau fcWX ) Janes iecJ : 150 The miners are reticent about the amounts they brought. The reason for the observance of such secrecy lies in a desire to evade the payment of the 10 per cent , royalty exacted Ly the Ca nadian government. Not in every case have the miners paid royalty on the fll amount taken cut of their claims , and many of them have smuggled out larger sums than they will admit. It is said that the shipment of geld on the Roanoke would have been much heavier hr.d those in the interior not felt some apprehension of an at- tark at sea by privateers. The North American Trading an3 Transportation Company will , it is stated , ship most of their gold on later boats. Some of the wealthiest miners will come out later in the season.

I wufTcrcd with back ache , headache , bearing-down pains , pains in my lower limbs , and cched all through my body. Menstruations were very painful. I was almost a skeleton. 1 fol lowed year advice and now am well and Ceshy , and able to do all my own housework. 1 took medicine from ft physician for over a year , and it did not do me a parliclo of good. I would advise all suffering women to write to Mrs. I'inkham. She will answer all Ic'v.era promptly , and tell them how to cure those aches and pains bocoin- mon to women. Mrs. C.L.Wi.NN , Marqucz.

For-two j-ears I suffered with female weakness , bearing-down pains , headache , backache , and too frequent occurrence of the mcuscu. 1 was always complaining. My husband urged me to try your Vegetable Compound , and I finally did. I hu.ro taken three bottles and it lias made me feel like a dif ferent woman. I advise every woman that suffers to take your medicine and be cured. Mrs. GAIIRETI : LICIITV , G12 S. Prince St. , Lancaster , Pa.
