The leports concerning the European
harvests are of so unfavorable a nature
as to be really alarming, and, if the es
timated shortages in the various wheat
producing countries of that continent
are even approximately correct, the total
wheat production of the world will fall
very considerably short of tho usual aver
age consumptiori, and to one acquainted
with the magnitude of this deficiency the
unprecedented exportations of the. past
six weeks will create no surprise.
In consequence of the unusually disas
trous outturn in Bulgaria and Hungary,
the export of grain has been stopped by
court decree. The estimate of deficiency
to the Russian ciop is twenty-eight per
cent, on a crop of about 325,000,000 of
bushels shortage equal to more bush
els than was ever exported from that
country. In Southern Italy, Spain and
Portugal the wheat harvest was nearly
a total failure. The French deficiency
is reported as fully equal to, if not
greater than last year. The German
provinces show variable returns as to
wheat, a full average in some, but large
deficiencies in others; while the rye
crop of which the consumption is much
larger than wheat, and equals about
240,000,000 bushels, is twenty-five per
cent, below the usual result a very im
portant item if the deficiency is to made
up with (or even partially so, of) wheat
imports. H. Kains Jackson estimates
the shortage for the British islands to
be lull 17,000,000 quarters or the enor
mous amount of 136,000,000 bushels;
and not only is the wheat deficient, but
the barley and oat crops are largely be
low an average, and last, but of still
greater importance in food statistics,
the potato crop is also wofully below
an average yield, equal to 75,000,000
bushels shortage, which shortage must
bo supplied mainly by increased imports
of wheat. I therefore make the follow
ing new estimates of European require
ments of wheat according to last ad
vices (some official and others approxi
mate), as follows :
Bushels.
.136.000,000

(mainly flour)..
China, flour
15,000,000
6,000,000
1,000,000
Total 283,000,000
According to the deficiencies reported,
these estimates are rather under than
abo f e the probable actual figures. Ac
cepting an estimate of about 270,000,000
as the food and seed requirements of the
United States, this country will have for
export 165,000,000 to 170,000,000 bushels,
leaving 113,000,000 to be supplied from
the surplus of other countries than the
United States, which result it is simply
impossible to obtain. Russia, from her
most favorable crop of wheat, exports
something over 70,000,080 bushels, and,
should the shortage on this year's crop
be only twenty per cent., instead of twenty-eight
per cent., as estimated, her sur
plus for export will ba simply nil; but,
allowing the damage to be over-estimated,
and that Russia can furnish, say.
20,000,000 bushels, the following figures
result after making tho largest approx
imate estimate for supplies from the re
mainder of the wheat-producing coun
tries of the globe than the United States.
My estimate is as follows :
Bushels.
Russia 20,000,000
India 10,000,000
Australia 12,000,000
Chili 3,000,000
Canada 6,000,000
Total... 61,000,000
This estimate exhausts the wheat-producing
countries of the world and indi
cates an absolute deficiency of supply
under average consumption of at least
62,000,000 ol bushels.
These figures would be alarming were
it not that to aconsiderable extent wheat
can be supplemented by corn and prob
ably will to a great extent, should the
value of wheat increase in proportion to
the apparent shortage ana the general
market runs its usual course when the
facta of supply and demand are con
sidered. A Mouse that Danced and Sang
About eighteen months ago the clerk
in the drug store of Mr. McNary, in
Hartford, began to whistle the lively
tune of ' Pop Goes the Weazel." While
the clerk was whistling with all his
might he saw a little mouse put his head
out at a hole in the floor. The mouse
was listening- to the clerk's tune. Mr.
Lind, for that was the clerk's name,
was interested at once. . lie got a jews
harp and played on that until, by-and-bye,
what should the mouse do but come
out of the hole and nibble at Mr. Lind's
shoe. Mr. McNary win introduced to
Master Mouse, but Mr. NcNary's musio
was not pleasing, as he thumped on a
tin basin as though it were a drum, and
so scared the little creature away. After
a while the two men tried what Is called
a zithern, and the mouse was so much
pleased that whenever they would play
upon that instrument he would come
up and dance around in delight. Be
fore long the mouse learned to squeak in
tune with the zithern, and last May it
became known as " the singing mouse."
At night it would sing for a naif hour
at a time, a local paper says, " almost
with the sweetness and clearness of a
canary." One day the morning was so
raw and cold that the mouse tried to
crawl under the furnace grate, but failed
to find a cudd hole, and soon after was
found by Mr. Ajfctfary lying in the cellar
dead.
Forecasting the Weather.
Readers of " Quentin Durward " will
readily remember the importance which
Louis XI. of France is said to have at
tached to the warnings of his astrolo
ger, but they may possibly have over
looked the exceptional instance in which
common sense prevailed over supersti
tion. The king according to the story
had a mind to hunt one day, and, be
ing doubtful of tho weather, inquired of
his astrologer whether it would bo fair,
tho sago nnswercd with confidence in the
affirmative. At the entrance of tho for
est the royal cortege was met by a char
coal man, who expressed to some meni
als of the train his surprise that the
king should have thought of hunting on
a day when it threatened tempest. The
collier's prediction proved true. The
king and his court were driven from
their sport well drenched, and Louis,
having heard what the collier had said,
ordered the man before him. " How
are you more accurate in foretelling tho
weather, my friend," said he, "than
this learned manr" " I am an ignorant
man, sire," answered tho collier, " was
never at school, and cannot read or
write ; but I have an astrologer of my
own, who shall foretell weather with
any of them. It is, with, reverence, the
ass who carries my charcoal, who. al
ways, when bad weather is approaching,
points for ward his ears, walks more
slowly than usual, and tries to rub him
self against walls ; and it was from these
signs that I foretold yesterday's storm."
The king burst into a lit or laughing,
dismissed the Astrological biped, and as
signed tho collier a small pension to
maintain the quadruped, swearing he
would never in future trust to any other
astrologer than the charcoal man's ass.
Indications such as those here spoken of
have been familiar to the country folk
from the earliest times; for it is quite
certain that the lower animals feel ap
proaching changes of the weather in a
way which we can very imperfectly un
derstand. Still even among ourselves,
there are many who are to some extent,
sensible to these changes, and the sensa
tion is generally unpleasant. Old
wounds are painful before rain; the
head aches before thunder; or there is a
feeling of uneasiness diilcultto explain,
but none the less real. So also with an
imals; they career wildly about the
field in restless excitement, they scratch
themselves in hedges,, they rub them
selves against the wall, or their annoy
ance finds vocal expression, as in the
agonizing yell of tho aristocratic pea
cock, or the discordant hee-haw of tlfe
Elebian donkey. Such signs are not to
e neglected by the careful student of
weather.although they cannot be counted
as strictly scientific. The evidence
is of the nature of hearsay, and can only
be accepted conditionally. Frazcr's

Electrical Jewelry.
Every one is more or less acquainted
with the advances made in the use of
electricity, particularly in the way of
ngnting ana as a motive power, but w t
would ever have suspected that it was
likely to be applied to purposes of per
sonal adornment. Such, however, is
tho case, for M. Trouve has found the
means of applying it in a most ingenious
manner to certain articles of jewelry.
The applications of it are comparatively
unlimited, brr a description of a few ar
ticles will suffice to give the reader an
idea of this invention. Take first of all
a breastpin consisting of a death's head
enameled, with movable eyes of dia
monds or rubies and the lower jaw ar
ticulated. At the pleasure of the wearer,
by means to be described presently, it
can he mnrle to roll its pven and p.hatfpr
mounted by a small golden drum, on
which is seated on its tail a little rabbif
holding in its fore paws two drumsticks,
with which, it beats a tattoo when the
electric current is applied. A third is
an ornament for a lady's hair, consisting
of a bird covered all over with diamond
points, which on completing the circuit
flutters ils wings and produces a curious
effect. One of these was made for the
Princess de Metternich. But the curious
part of the invention is the battery by
which these objects are put-in motion.
Each of them is attached to an invisible
wire, easily concealed in the garments or
the hair, the other end of which is con
nected with a minute battery. This ap
paratus is not bigger than a pencil-case,
and can be easily carried unseen in the
waistcoat pocket. It consists of a tube
hermetically sealed, containing in the
upper half a pile composed of zinc and
carbon inclosed in a case of hardened
india rubber (ebonite). The zinc and
the carbon only occupy the upper por
tion of the tube, the lower containing
tho exciting liquid. So long as the tube
is kept in a perpendicular position the
pile is not reached by the liquid, and
consequently no action takes place ; but
the moment it is placed horizontally the
acid acts on the pile and a circuit is es
tablished which sets the movable parts
in action. Thus the wearer has only to
vary the position of the tube to produce
the motion or stop it at pleasure.
Ups aud Downs In Life.
We have in our mind, says an ex
change, a brilliant and cultivated younn
lawyer who started in life with twenty
thousand dollars and a refined, beautiful
and accomplished wife. He is now a
sort of lactotum in a carpet manufac
tory, running hither and thither at the
beck and call of those whom he secretly
despises, doing heavy tasks far beyond
his strength, yet eager and anxious to
please, lest the slender support which
he derives from his menial work be cut
oil'. We know a gentleman who was a
bank president ten years ago and owned
his carriage, who now does copying in
an insurance office at thirty-five dollars
a month, supporting God knows how
a wife and five children on it. We
know of a gentleman who once held a
high, office in a Western State, who so
licited work at cleaning out offices and
building fires. Nor have the changed
times lesA bitterly affected woman. Jen
nie Collins, of Boston, famed for her
employment bureau and workingmen's
home, says in her last report s "Many
kind iadies who hired their servants of
me in the past years, have been obliged
to apply for employment themselves of
late. I sent a lady to a hotel as a
housekeeper, and the most humiliating
part of it was, that her room was in the
attic with two of her former servants."
We are constantly learning of women ot
education and refinement, formerly
wealthv. who are encaged as seams
tresses, -nurses and housekeepers: and i"
one case we even know of a lady, win
would be at home in any parlor in tle
land among educated people, who
served as a cook in a hotel for months.
X Queer Freak f the Mind.
A curious instance of partial loss oj
memory is mentioned in the French
papers. A painter, who was visiting a
friend at Scaauk, was standing on a
balcony on the second floor wlien lie
overbalanced himself and fell on the
ground below. Every one rushed down
stairs, expecting to nnd him dead ; but
he quickly picked himself up, and seemed
unhurt. When, however, ne turned to
address his friends, he could notremem
ber their names. He had forgotten his
own, and, to his utter astonishment, he
also found that he could not recall ft
single substantive. He can pronounce
one alter the other toe letters of which
the names of his wife nnd daughter are
composed, but be is unable to unite them
into one word.
The Itnmble Bee. -
Children did you ever stop to consider
the immense power possessed by a bum-ble-beeP
An insect weighing no more
than tho eighth of an ounce is capable
of "raising" a man weighing 220 pounds
from a bench in tho public park, and
then having lots of lifting mnlerinl left.
Just stop and think of it! The stinger
of a bee is not near as largo os tlio finest
needle, but such is the force behind it
that it can be driven tlirousrh heavy
pants-cloth and into tho flesh about six
teen feet. If a man could wield a crow
bar in comparison lie could drive it
through seven saw-mills at ont blow.
Nature could not give the bee teeth ahd
claws without spoiling his beauty, nnd
to compensate she gave him this stinger
as a weapon of attack and defence. If
the bee had no weapon, ants, beetles and
bugs would tuff him around 'ns they
pleased, but as it is he is boss of the
walk, and won't lako a word from any
of them.
The bumble-bee is not naturally of a
quarrelsome disposition, but he can't be
sat down on over half an hour without
feeling as if some one was doing him a
great wrong. If left to himself he will
crawl up your coat-sleeve, look around,
amd crawl down and go about his busi
ness, but if welcomed with a blow be
tween tho eyes ho is going to bo re
venged if it breuks a leg. lie invariably
closes his eyes when he stings, and you
have only to look a boo square in tho
face to discover when he is fooling
around and when ho means fourteen per
cent, per nrmim. t
The hay field is a favoritd resort of
tho bumble-bee, but you can find him
almost anywhere else if you try hard.
Having no pair of long hind legs, he can
not build his nest in n marsh, like the
frog, and having no beak in which to
carry straws he cannot nest in a tree like
a bird. He therefore takes to the grass,
and under the roots of an old stump, or
amidst a pile of old rails, he rears his
gentle young and gives them printed in
structions as to the difference between
stinging six-inch stovepipe and runa
way boys. The knowledge ot old bees
is wonderful. They know where the
school-house is. They know when
school is out. They can sail miles
away from home, get in their work on
a farmer's son weeding out corn, and re
turn home without missing a fence cor
ner or in need of an afternoon nap. As
a rule they are early risers. Barefooted
boys driving up the cows at daylight
will find the bumble bee out of bed and
quite ready to begin the arduous labors
of the day. Along about sundown he
?Uits work, counts noses to see if the
ainily are all in and then stows himself
away for a night of calm and peaceful re
pose. The legs of a bumble-bee are very
crooked. This seems too bad at first,
but you will soon discover that nature
was level-headed. His lees were thus
shaped to enable him to Lane to the
brim of a boy's straw hat. Were his
straight he could not walk a fence
r.iil in a high wind, nor could he turn
around alter reachins the top of a mul
lein stock. The stripes on a beo look
like a waste of material, but such is not
the case. They furnish an extia cover
ing over his ribs to keep the frosty air
ofl, and they serve to stiffen his spinal
column in his flights through the air.
A bumble-bee can fly at the rate of
twenty miles an Hour, it lie wants to,
but there is no cause for him to fly any
faster than a boy can run. He some
times lives to be three years old, and is
sometimes stricken down before he has
traveled at all. His life is a precarious
one. lie may run a decon out of a hay
field to-day, and be the big bee of the
nest, and "to-morrow a country school
ma'am may knock his head off with her
umbrella. Nothing in natural history
weigns more lor uis size tnan the bee,
and nothing in science works easier
without cog-wheels or rubber rollers,
than his stinger. It is always ready,
never out of repair, and satisfaction (to
