The frog crop is positively asnured. A corn planter rigged up with sails and oars would ho the thing for No- farmers jnut now. 1 If the market would but stand for it the fnrmciM might devote their acres to V , the growing of water cross. t ,1 The drouth , if any has boon laying j > around the vicinity of northeastra No- . ; Iwnslcn. , unknown to the people , is surely f broken. JL It. is suidjto have boon Sjunior Haunn's jr first defeat. It is perhaps the first time p he has uttotuptod anything so contrary , to the wishes of the pooplo. Tloporta from Chicago are that the cou.hmed heavy chipmouts of gouornl morclumdite remains the chief feature of the trufllo situation of the weat , indi cating good times nud nn nbnudnuco of money. The west is fairly prosperous , thank you , nud there is no sign of its immediate cessation , as yet. The Nebraska City Trlbuuo recently advertised for olonn oottou rrvg.s and the people Jumped at the conclusion that it svrts buying thorn for shipment aud brought in rags hy the wngou-load , un til the pnper was compelled to retract , and explain that nil they wanted was a ccitniu quantity of rags with which to clean up the machinery of the plant. All of which inivkos it appear possible that the rag-buyer could bo doing a profitable business in Nebraska towns fl they have done further east. The number of states thnt have pledged their support to President Bocsovelt for the republican nomination gives nsEnranco thnt ho will bo the nominee of the convention next year , if the pledges hold , with votea to spare. There nro u number of states , also , not yet pledged , but that are as safe for liini as though the pledge had been glvon. It really BOOIUS hopeless for auy attempt to bo niado for dissatisfied re publicans to bring forward anyone else \vho will stand the ghost of a show in convention. The people have nlrendy spoken nud the ropublicnn party is not given to ignoring their wishes. As President Roosevelt works his way east Borne of the pApers are alleging thnt Iio is passing out of the danger line , in timating that his trip through the far western part of the country was among people who would as soon assassinate the chief executive of the country as oat. As a matter of fact , he was never in a safer section of the country. The rollicking cowboys of the plains are sometimes demonstrative and use their fibc-Ehooters with considerable flourish , but it is a safe guess that the worst of them would not hurt a hair of the presi dent's head if given full opportunity to do eo. Many of them have killed theii men , hut they have usually had some provocation , and there are fewer public man killed In the stutog wont of the Hocklus than in Kentucky alouo , while all of the immlorod presidents have mot their fate in the onbt from sneaks and cow < mlH guoh as the west cannot ubldo. On the contrary the men of the wojt are over ready to punish the pur- son who will nuiko way with ij , puhllc ofllulnl. QUAINT LONDON LEGACIES , Iio I inof Tin-in Slumtlie Olil Time llxtlmntt' of HoriuoiiH. Some curious Kllmpws Into' the life of old Lowljni are aft'onlcd liy the re ports iiiaiU' In the charity commission on the endowed charltleH In the county of London. For Instance , In the re ports dealing with the city parishes we have an estimate of the value seton on sermons by city men In olden times. That estimate varied from " > shillings to 1 10s. One Thomas lU-lnht had left a bequest for 'i sermon to be preach ed on the tith of November every time It fell on n Sunday , the minister to get loS.Id. . , the clerk ! ! s.Id. . and the sexton la.Id. . But David Gittlu had a more modest Idea of the value of a sermon In the same parish. Iio required two ecrmons for 10 shillings , one to bo preached on the second Sunday In Ad vent and the other on the second Sun day In Lent. The reader got 2 shil lings , the churchwarden 2s. Sd. nud the poor sexton fourpence for each oc casion. John Ireland thought 13s. 4d. enough for two sermons. In 10(50 ( John Wliui left n curious bequest - quest to the parish of St. IScnnct , Paul's Wharf. A pound was set apart for an annual sermon , the text to bo tnkon from the lU'tli chapter of St John nnd the twenty-seventh verse. He also left enough to buy twelve penny lonvcs for twelve poor people of the parish who attended n sermon every Friday In the parish church. But ho expected more for his pound than the annual sermon , for before or nftor the sermon the min ister luul to spend nu hour examining or Instructing the poor people In the Christian doctrine. The most generous donor of the preacher was James Wood , who thought a sermon In St NIcholns-Cole-Abbey was worth 110s. every ulternntc year. In lG2o ho bequeathed to the Company of Bowyors n sum to enable them , among other tilings , to repair to the parish church named , after they had sworn in their wardens and master ev ery second year , there to hear n ser mon nnd pay the parson 1 10s. and the clerk and eexton Is. 5d. each , Jin the pariah of St. Michael Basslshaw 0110 Edward lleyliu In the eighteenth century left money the interest on which was to be applied to purchasing two sixpenny loaves each Sunday for two poor men or women who should at tend dlylue service. Londou News , A Clever SIctliod of Stcnllnsr. An ingenious nnd successful trick was played at a London lint In broad daylight. A gentleman rang the bell at 3 o'clock nnd Inquired whether Mr. Grey was at homo. ' "N'o , sir , " said the Janitor. "Ho rarely If ever comes bnck from the temple before 5 o'clock. " "Thnt Is strange , " returned the other , "siuco 1 know he has an appointment hero with a Mr. Johnson at 4 o'clock. " Then he went his way. At 4 o'clock to the minute Mr. John- Bon willed nnd , giving his nnuio , was of course allowed to wait In Mr. Grey's npartments , which ho denuded of everything of "portable value" In ten minutes nnd then wnlked out , ob serving ns he passed the porter that he could wait no longer. Followed the Uxuuiple of Cnto. In the first year of the last century Londou affected great admiration for Cato's suicide , the feeling being arous ed by Addlson'a play. A gentleman named Budgell , nfter witnessing its performance , throw himself Into the Thames on his way homo. Ills body \vas recovered , nnd on it was found i icrap of , pnper with those words : "Who Cnto did and Addlson approved mus needs bo right. " THE MARKETS.

The clster ( Pica cnudatn ) la a bird thnt Is respected nnd feared through out south Germany. It belongs to the raven tribe and la about the elzo of a dove , with black nnd whlto fonthors and long , pointed tall. It builds Us nest In orchards , and Its life la sacred. If It Is seen three times In succession on the same house top In n place remote from Its home It Is believed to bo a euro sigu of death In that house. If 11 fllea over a house where nny one Is 111 nnd gives Its peculiar cry the sick per- eon Is sure to die , but If It does not Bcreaiu the patient may recover. It Is better for the sick person If the bird docs not come near. No ono could bo hired to bother these birds for fear they might seek revenge , nnd If by chance one of them should die it la a sign of bad luck to the own er of the property where It was found The bird Is a valuable Insect destroyer nnd In this wny probably more than compensates for the 'fear It occasions among the farmers. GARLYLE AND EMERSON. Ko Evidence Tliut Hither Bvor Serl- oiiNly .Studied Chrlxt faulty. The grave charge Is to be brought against both Cnrlyle and Emerson that , while they were the product of Chris tian civilization nml drew the sub stance of their message1 from the re ligious faith of their people , there is no evidence that either ever seriously studied Christianity. The greatest phenomenon In human history engages but lightly- the attention or the enthu siasm of either , nor does either fathom the need of the humanity that has risen on the strength of the gospel of Christ. It was the dim perception of his fact that led Lord Jeffrey to re- nark to Carlyle that ho went about as If he were to found a new religion. No one had done anything for man's oul until he came. One can hardly read the correspondence of Carlyle and Emerson without the feeling of their excessive eonsequentlnlncss "in the > resence of the Immense historic ichievement of spiritual genius ; In the ) rOsenco of the spirit , the teaching and ho Inlluence of Jesus. Both were es sentially modest men , and yet they Ived In the sense of a uniqueness and an Importance which they do not pos sess. They are both frequently oracu- ar when uttering with literary dlstlnc- lon only the commonplace moral wis dom of the Christian world. It Is n valid criticism upon Carlyle and Emer son that they failed to recognize the rock whence they were hewn nnd thnt hey did not exhaust the quarry ; thnt they were oblivious of the pit whence they were digged , nnd that the precious netal remained after they were taken out lu boundless abundance.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together , and until the last few years was supposed to bo incurable. For a great ninny years doctors pro nounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies , and by constantly fail ing to euro with local treatment , pro nounced it incurable.
