RUSSIA'S VAST CROPS. Too Great to Be Harvested Where Famine Recently Reigned. To (iatlier In the Grain Would I Tanta mount to Throwing 4KMt loncj" After lUtil A Srvrra Agricultural t'rlkU Anticipated. Cries of dospair are coming- from Russian farmers and landowners ie cause of the abundant wheat harvest, says the London Telegraph. For weeks past the Kussian press has Won devotinp its loading artieU s to a dis cussion of the measures best oak-u-lated to neutralize the effects of the corning plentiful harvest, and now. curiously enouprh, the question has re duced itself to this simple issue: Should the wheat le reaped and par nered in. or would it not le wiser to turn sheep and cattle into the fields and thus lessen the quantity of the produce? It seems well nih incred ible that a people who. two years Jiro. were in the thris of a famine and rutti licly offered up prayers to Heaven for an abundant harvest, should ie now concerting measures for the purpose oi counteracting the effei-tsof the wished for abundance. l!nt it is none the loss true, and stranger still, some orir.ms i the press, in reply to the question. 'Should the wheat lie reaped?" have delilx-rately jrivoii it as their opinion that ""for numerous districts it would le advisiible to solve this problem ii the negative." Nay, more, it now ap pears that many landowners refused last year to gather in the harvest, and are determined not to remove it this year either. One landlord, for in stance, who owns a larye estate near Odessa, and whose facilities for export are therefore exceptionally numerous, foreseeing the fall of prices, purchased one thousand sheep and unhesitatingly turned them into his fields of wheat. He is saiil to Ik; mi satisfied with. the re sult that he means to do likewise now that a further fall in prices is probable. The Odessa Novosti. a journal which is usually very well informed upon agricultural questions, has published a series of articles to show that to pather in the harvest this year would )e tantamount to throwing pood money after bad, for it can only lo done at a heavy loss to farmers. A pood (thirty six pounds) of barley, for instance, when it reaches the port of Nikola'u-ff from the neiphlMrinp government of Poltava costs the producer thirty-six and one-fourth copecks, whereas the market price is at present thirty-six copecks, and is Inmiid to ln-come less as soon as the abundance of this year's harvest is pencrallj- known. A very severe agricultural crisis is anticipated in consequence, ami the well meaninp efforts of the government to keep down the price of the ruble with a view to facilitating exportation, will avail nntuim. The results of such a crisis may lo pauped by the circumstances thatiussia is an agricultural country, which cannot hope to find in the in creased profits of manufactures a com pensation for the falling off of corn exports. The situation is critical, and will make itself sorely felt in more than one f rm Ik-fore the end of they ear. I'nfortunately. a dispassionate study of the causes that have combined to brinr alMut the present crisis fails to brinp to lipht a sinple consideration which would warrant hopes of a briphter prospect in the near future. Some authorities maintain that the prohibition to export prain which was issued by the povernment durinp the famine enabled American farmers to triumph over their Kussian competitors by leaving- Kuropean markets without Russian prain for a year. Hut most Russians hold that this was no more than the occasion: the real cause lay deeper, and is to le soupht for in the mariner in which the Russian producer is handicapiH-d by domestic laws and conditions, in the neplipence of Uus hian prain merchants, who soupht to enrich themselves rather than acquirt a hiph reputation for the native produce anil in the resultinp inferiority of Rus sian prain. Thus Russkaia t'hisn, a well-informed apricultural orpan. unhesitatingly declares that the "for eipn demand for Russian prain was tUe result of a misundcrstandinp. for the prain itself, owinp to its quality, could not compare with that of Amer ica or even Australia and Kast India, anil those who transacted the sale, if judped by the standard of conscien tiousness or by the commercial methods they employed, would lose by compar ison w'ith their foreipn colleagues." The journal then poes on to say that the export from Russia was artificial, due exclusively to the mistaken apri cultural policy of the povernment, which made it impossible to forward prain from the farthest corners of Rus sia to (lermany. Knpland and ltelpium for nominal freiphts, while it was prac tically impossible to distribute it in the neiphlMirinp Russian districts where people were dyinp of hunper. Thus on the one hand it was scarce at home, where sorely needed, and plenti ful abroad, where itjwas not really wanted. TORTURING TURTLES. How the Poor Reptile Are leprtvet of Their Sh.ll... "I never see any of the pretty arti cles made out of tortoise shell," said a citizen of Oakland. t'al., recently, "without thinkinp of the probable torture the poor turtles had Wen su jectvd to in order to procure the ma terial for their manufacture. The na tives in the West Indies lie in wait for the turtles as they come to the shore to deposit their epps. then they catch them and turn them over on their backs, so that they are alsolutcly help less. The operation of divestinp these creatures of their shells is cruel in the extreme. The tortoise shell that we value is merely the scales that cover the lxiny shield of the turtle. These scales are thirteen in numlvr, and a larpe turtle will furnish alkiut eipbt pounds. Iu order to detach this shell from the livinp animal (for they don't want to kill them, as in that case they would le exterminated in a few years) they fasten him down, and then put tlry leaves and prass under his back, to which they set nre. 1 ne neat causes the scales to separate at the joints. They then insert a larpe knife leneath them and lift the shell from the back. Many turtles die under the operation, but they have leen known to 1h? caupht a second time with an outer coatinp repnxlueed, but in such cases there was only one piece, instead of thirteen.

There is a business man of this eity w ho has a very pretty daughter w itii whom one of papa's ..;;iee staff ha fallen hopelessly in love, says t he De troit Tree Press. As the voting man is not invited to the paternal mansion, and the youno-woman has been notified to keep away from the paternal otiiee. the course of their love does not How very smoothly. However, thev have hit U.in an expedient whi.-h ;'ivt-s them a channel of communication, and they will continue to employ it if papa's eyes do not rcstim this expose. It was tho jzirl who thought of it it nhvav is the trirl who linds a clew to the situ at i -n.

The;, the interested clerk, while the head o the firm is readinir his iiKirnino- mail, takes the hat from the nail where it i huiio-. l.x.ks inside, slips his hand undo tho lining- ami takes out a tiny missive, w hich he at once conveys to his ow n pocket, and the contents of which de-lio-ht and amuse him all day.

The common water pump of to-lay is but an improvement on a Grecian in vention which first came into general use durini.' the n iern of the Ptolemies, l'hiladolphes and Knersretes, 2s; to 'J1 15. C. The name, w hich is vi-ry similar in all lanj.'uajres. is lerived from the tJret k word ""JH-mpo." to s-nd or throw. The most ancient description we have of the water pump is by Hero of Alex ander. There is no authentic account of its general use outside of Kpypt pre vious to its introduction into the I n-r-inan provinces at alxmt the opening of the sixteenth century. I'umps with plunders and pistot:s were invented by Morlaml. an Knlishmaii, in 1',74; the double actinj.' pump by IV la Hire, the French academician, some twenty years ktor. Short In Stature.
