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. A
aluable terrier , "Toby , " belonging to
he duke of Bedford , was fitted for a
et of false teeth , which gives him
; reat assistance in rat catching.

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 :

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.

MES. PINKHAM CONQUERS BACKACHE.
Four Women Who Owe Their Present Happiness to Lydla E. Finis-
ham's Vegetable Compound.
DEAU Mns. PINIJHAM : When I wrote lo yen last Juno ,
I was not able to do anything. 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. Texas.
I think it is my duty to write and let you know what
your medicine 1ms done for me. 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.
I had suffered for over two years with backache ,
headache , dizziness , nervousness , falling and ulccralioii
of the womb , leucorrhcea , and about every ill a woman
could have. I had tried doctors , but with no success ,
aiui it seemed as though death was the only relief
forme. After using five bottlesof Lydhi E. Tinkham's
Vegetable Compound , and four packages of Sanative
Wash , I ana well. Have had no more pain , womb
trouble , backache or headache. Mrs. CLAUDIA
IIALFiiiCream Kidge , N. J.
Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound I was alluded with female complaiutu
so that I could hardly walk. My back ached terri
bly , in fact , I ached all over. Was not able to raise myself up some of the
time. I had no appetite and was so nervous that I could hardly sleep. 1 have
taken but two bottles of your Compound and feel like another person , can now
eat and sleep to perfection , in fact , am perfectly well. Mrs. SCK McCuu.ouQii ,
