The failure of the wheat crop in
almost every other country nan
given a boom to the price of that
article which will probably add
200,000,000 to the value of the
wheat crop of this country. Another
ill wind that baa fallen upon other?
blows us good. While the drought
in Australia bas compelled that
country to peek grain supplies
abroad it has also reduced its usual
supply of wool very largely.
It is reported that the drought
has caused the death of 25,000,000
sheep in Australia and nearly 75
per cent, of the lambs.
The great deficit in the supply of
the chief wool-raising country will
Oirtainly have the effect of boosting
up the the price of our wool.
Then some sharp-nosed protec
tionist will riso and tell us that
American farmers are getting bet-
tir prioes for their wool because the
Dingley tariff act increased the pro
tective duty on it. Neither the
visitation of a calamity in Australia
nor the emile of Providence on this
land have anything to do with the
case according to the philosophy of
the protectionists. When we have
prosperity tbey claim that a protec
tive tariff is the source from which
all blessings flow; when things &o
wrong, they swear that the protec
tive tariff is not responsible in any
way. Durham Sun.

A deplorable acoident occurred in

1 when hia young brother, Rmsom
Blackwelder, 10 years old, came in,
the elder brother told him to re.
kindle the fire in the stove. In
obeying bis brother's command, the
young boy picked up the oil can and
was p jurihg oil on to the coals in
tbe stove when an explosion oc
curred, sprinkling oil over tbe
clothes of the boy, which were in an
instant a mass of Attnes. 'Ihe boy
was teirorizid, and in order to free
hiniBelf from the horrible tortures
of a burning death, began to rnn
aiound the house. His sick brother
was pnrsuing bim, and while excled
ly calling to Rinacm to stop, the
dogs began to chase the burning
boy and bit him several times on the
legs. The child finally fell from
exhaustion and pain. His father
was in the field near by and when
he reached tbe scene tbe little fel
low wat unconscious. Ha was re
moved to ihe house and died two
hours later, bis body being burnt
into a crisp. All of bis clothing
except the shirt collar was burned

dight. Dr. John Reed was di
patched for, but could administer
no relief to the dying boy.
