Official Statistics by the Department of Agriculture of the Wheat.and Corn in the Country. The estimated proportion of wheat on hand is 26.2 per cent of the last crop, the smallest percentage in ten years. The quantity on hand aggregates 135 000,000 bushels, 36,000,000 less than last March and of the very small crop of 1890. A very large pro- portion is found in States that do not spare a bushel for commercial distribution, and only 34,000,000 in the principal spring wheat states, more than half of which is re- quired for seed in the spring. Of the win- ter wheat states only Kansas and California have any considerable surplus available for commerical distribution. The corn on hand as estimated aggregates 626,347,370 bushels, or 38.5 per cent of the last product. This proportion has been ex- ceded in March four times in the last ten vears and the quantity has been exceeded five times. The consumption of eight months 1,001.616,640 bushels, only exceeds that fol- Jowing the smaller crops of 1887 and 1890. The aggregate sold from farms to go beyond county lines is 277,379,000 bushels, or 17 per cent of the ecrop.The proportion merchauta- ble is 1,345,445.000, or 82.6 per cent. The value returned for merchantable corn aver- age 42.9 cents, for unmerchantable 27.7 cents making an aggregate of $655,000.000 which exceeds the December valuation by 13,000,- 000 averaging 40 cents per bushel. . The amount exporte | in twelve months is 191,000,000 bushels;required for consump- tion. ¥00,000.000; seed used, $4,000,009; visi- ble stocks, 79,009,000, a total of 621,000,000 against an apparent supply of 729,000,000 bushels. There is therefore an apparent excess of distribution from the last two crops, of 31.000,000 bushels, as compared with previous estimates, showing, if present estimates are correct, which cannot be posi- tively assured. that the crops of 1891 and 1892 were underestimated by 2 or 3 per cent, which would bea very close margin on the safe side. Very littleold wheat is reported on hand. The average weignt of the crop per measured hushel, as calculated from the returns of millers, state agents and correspondents, is 57.5 pounds reducing the estimated product to 494,000,00) of commer- cial bushels. The crop report for March of the depart- ment of agriculture relates to the distribu- tion of corn and wheat and the stocks re- maining on farms. Itisnot a census of individual holdings of growers but it is bas- ed on county estimates of the percentage of last year's product remaining, made by a board reporting to the state agent. All grain, including any surplus of previous years, is included. These seperate results are scrutinized, obvious errors and incon- sistencies corrected, differences harmonized and ultimate statements tabulated by states to show both percentages and aggregate quantities. EARTHQUAKE IN RAHWAY. Buildings Were Swayed and Destroyed in Eastern New Jersey. The City of Rahway, N, J., was shaken Thursday morning by an earthquake shock a few minutes after 8 o'clock. it did con- siberable damage in the city and vicinity.

Chemist Richter sustained a loss of $500 by the breaking of a glass jar that held a val- uable preparation.

In it he says: We find in water the only tireless agent that works in the modification of continents; and instead of being the great renovator of the land, as it is pop- ularly concsived, it is the great de- stroyer. The destruction of sucient Rome has been attributed to time. But it was due simply to the moisture of the atmosphere working throigh chemical agencies. It was water, invisible but penetrating even the very stones of the wonderful city, that caused her to crumble to ruins, and gave to modern Rcme a grade greatly slevated above her ancient grade. But it works not alone in the cities and towns. There is not a hill on earth that has not been shorn of | some of its altitude by this subtle force, and there is not a mountain on earth, if pot fitfully renewed by volcanic action, that has not been compelled to lower its peak before this universal leveler of tho exalted. It may be a dreadful thought, indeed, but we do not know absolutely that we are not dependent on the earth- quake and the volcano for keep our continental habitat above the level of the ocean; for water not only destroys, but it has the persistency and force to carry off to its burial place in the sea all that it has caused to perish. It may take a long time at its task, but working either in its gaseous, its liquid, or its solid fcrm, it seems to be the most pes- sistent thing on earth, never perishing, and, however divided and invisible at times, always ready to unite its forces for a supreme effort at the degradation of a continent. Cannet Take the Bif. The chief of the Kansas City (Mo.) Fire Department has invented a new bridle for horses, the use of which makes it impossible for the horse to take the bit between his teeth. It has po bit to take. It is arranged with a strap over the horse's nose, and a steel curb under his jaw in such a way that a hard pull on the reins make the animal very uncomfortable indeed. The new bridle works to perfection, it is said, on a practical test, keeping the horse per- fectly under control, while giving hun the minimum of discomfort. One great advantage of the contrivance is that it enables the animal to eat and drink in comfort without displacing the bridle. — New York News.

A volume of memoirs has just been published giving the experisuces of a French President of Assizes, It bears curious testimony to the insecuracy of women on the subject of their own ages. As the writer's information is from the calender, he speaks only of the criminal classes. The only instances in which he finds correct dates given by women are when they are under twenty-five or over eighty five. At these periods of lafe, he says, they are to be trusted. At all other periods the sure coatrolling tendency is to understate. The magis- trate has been able to give u rule for guidance, He finds that femele prison- ers invariably state their ages as twenty- nine, thirty-nine, forty-nine or fifty-nine and from this remarkable circumstance { he deduces his rule. If their ages are in the forties, they bodily set them down in the thirties, but conscience asserting itself, they keep as neur the truth as they can and fix them at thirty-nine. *Whether male criminals do the same the magistrate does not state.— London News, England has revived an old law against ewearing.
