Peaches In the South Haven region are only 
about half an average crop, but the quality Is 
superior, and prices twice as large. In western 
Allegan, also, the same state, of facts Is reported. 
Twenty-live thousand Russian medals have 
been sent to Bucharest for the Roumanian troops 
who were around Plevna. This figure, therefore, 
represents the number of survivors of the cam¬ 
paign in the Roumanian army which crossed the 
Danube. 
The Ohio State Fair In Cleveland was kept open 
on Sunday for the benefit of the yellow fever suf¬ 
ferers, and the preachers of the city generally 
denounced the action. The relief committee In 
Chicago declined money taken la at a spiritual¬ 
istic seance. 
A Georgian returned to his home after an ab¬ 
sence of two weeks. Ells eight-year old son loud¬ 
ly welcomed him. “ Is everybody well, WUUe ?” 
the father asked. “ The wellest kind,” the boy 
replied. “ And nothing has happened ?” “ Noth¬ 
ing at all. I've been good, Jennie’s all right, and 
I never saw ma behave as well as she has this 
time.” 
A Georgia farmer bought a grand piano for his 
daughter. His house Is s^jall, and, te economize 
room, the lower part of the partition between 
the kitchen ^nd the parlor was cut out, and the 
long end of ™ o piano stuck through. Priscilla 
now site at the keyboard, singing, “ Who will 
care for mother now 7” and the mother rolls out 
doughuuts on the other end of the piano in the 
kitchen. 
Mexico has gone Into the cattle reporting busi¬ 
ness. Four hundred and fifty-two head of cattle 
were lauded at Havaua on Aug. 9, from Alvarado, 
Mexico. Meanwhile the export trade between 
Florida and Cuba Is flourishing. There are now 
five Amerloau and two Spanish schooners, and 
one American and one Spanish steamship con¬ 
stantly engaged In the cattle trade between 
south Florida and Havana. 
The horses on the Phhladelphla railways are 
not fed with oats, chopped corn and hay being 
found to be more desirable fodder. They fatten 
more rapidly on this food, which It Is said gives 
them greater strength and endurance than any 
other. The cost, too, or corn Is much less than 
oats. Fifty years ago the principal food for work 
horses was cut straw and bran, mixed and 
moistened, with the addition of corn In the ear. 
Life Is rather too cheap for comfort out In Illi¬ 
nois. The records show that within the last 
twenty years 914 murderers bave been sent to the 
State prison—90 of them for life and the re¬ 
mainder for from one to twenty-five years One 
hundred have been pardoned, 62 have been re¬ 
leased In other ways, 21 have dl8d or gone to asy¬ 
lums for the lnsaue, and 131 are still In prison. 
Three years and six months, It Is estimated, Is 
the average term for a convicted murderer In Il¬ 
linois. 
The Mexican government has contracted with 
a capitalist for the colonization of government 
lands by immigrants from the Canaries. The 
government pays eighty dollars for every Immi¬ 
grant of twelve years and more, and forty dollars 
for children under twelve years. As soon as the 
Immigrants are established on the lands assigned 
them, the said amounts will be paid by the Vera 
Cruz custom house, being the nearest to the set¬ 
tlement. Another contract has been concluded 
for the colonization or European Immigrants on 
the government lands of “Mesa de Coroneles,” 
fifty dollars being paid for each Immigrant over 
four years of age, the contracts to last for ten 
years. 
A Virginian writes In praise of corn not only as 
the best food for laboring men but for domestic 
animals of all kinds. He states that the usual 
rations for a negro laborer, for a week, is one and 
a half pecks of corn, three pounds of bacon, and a 
little molasses. They thrlveon It audare healthy 
and strong. Southern horses and mules, os a 
rule, have only corn for gram, hut they live longer 
and do more work than northern horses that reed 
on oats. In hfh part of the country dogs are fed 
almost exclusively on corn-meal, and they not 
unfrequently eat corn In the ear, while wander¬ 
ing curs devour It on the stalk. Even cats eat 
corn-meal stirred up with water, as Is done in the 
case of chicken feed.

BEST THREAD FOR SEWING MACHINES. 
The Jurors at the Haris Exposition agree with the 
Judges at the Centennial, and decide 
that it is the “ WillimanUv.” 
It appears from the Associated Press dispatches 
and from the lists of awards published In the 
Paris newspapers, that the Jury on cotton tex¬ 
tiles, yarns and thread at the Universal Exposi¬ 
tion, have singled out the Wilumantic Company 
of Hartford, Conn., for a special distinction. They 
have decreed to that Comnany a gold medal and 
the grand prize for “ Spool Cotton especially adapl¬ 
ed jor use on sewing Machines.” Out of more than 
60,000 medals and awards, there were only loo 
grand prizes, and, although all the great thread 
manufacturers of the world competed, the Wil- 
limantic company alone receives the grand prize 
for Spool Cotton. This action of the Paris Jury 
agrees with the opinion of the Judges at our Cen¬ 
tennial Exposition, who decreed a medal, and 
strongly commended the Wllllmantlc thread tor 
Us surpassing excellence. But perhaps the most 
significant Indorsement of this Spool Cotton Is 
that by the sewing-machine manufacturers and 
operators themselves. More than fifty of them, 
after having used the WllllmanUc thread on their 
machines during the Philadelphia and Paris Ex¬ 
positions, on all kinds of work, have signed cer¬ 
tificates declaring that t he Wilumantic is the 
“ best thread they have ever used on sewing ma¬ 
chines, on account oj its strength, evenness, elas¬ 
ticity, finish and beautiful sfuides oj color." The 
concurrent opinion of so many experts ought no 
longer to leave any room for doubt as to which

thread Is the best for sewing machines. It Is not

isecd and more business on export, account will be

improves. We notice that some of our exchanges 
advise growers to keep their Imps at home and wait 
for buyers lo come round. A good many growers 
acted upon Lhl; advice last year and Mie year before 
and lost money by it. We would advise growers to 
use their own Judgment In regard to bolding or con¬ 
signing, and ool allow themselves to he Influenced 
by anybody. There is a market here tor good ex¬
