FARMERS in Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and
Nebraska are fearful of renewed grasshopper
raVages this spring, the heavy SHOWS and
frosts of the winter having proved INSULT
clent to prevent the Matching of the grass
hopper eggs. In addition to the scientific ac-
tion OF the Government commission, the
farmers IN some localities intend to institute
practical measures to harass and exterminate
these pests by firing the dead grass of the
pralrles In the spring instead of the autumn,
and I'D this manner burning immense quanti-
tles OF the grasshoppers before they reach a
destructive maturity.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter notes that
after having passed through the extreme de-
preston of prices of last September, and an
opposite extreme in December, the leather
and shoe trades have reached almost exactly
the same range of values as prevailed twelve
months ago. In the shoe trade prices may
be at present a small fraction higher than
they were a year ago on some grades o.
heavy goods, but these slight differences are
disappearing, and are more than counterbal-
anced by the lower figures now ruling on
some kinds of light work. In the prices ol
sole leather the quotations now ard twelve
months ago are so close together that manu-
facturegs could hardly draw the line IN iaVol
OF one az; against the other.

EARLY in the present year the Persians
had dual celebration-the thirtieth anniver-
sary of the present shah's accession and the
one hundredth anniversary of the reign Of
the dynasty of Kadzar. The occasion, how
ever, failed to evoke much enthusiasm among
the people. Under the present dynasty
Persia has lost much Of its former greatness,
and the present shah, Nasr-Eddin, has i'm
poverished his people, who suffered besides
from the corruption prevalent among all
classes of officeholders. "The wealth ol
Persia" say the people, sis in the palace Of
the shah." Nevertheless, Teheran and the
provinces presented festival appearance
for three nights all the cities were illuminated
and the dignitaries of state gave great feasts.
The minister of foreign affairs, Mustapha-al
Memalik, provided an entertainment for the
foreign ambassadors, closing with ball ''or
the European plan." The shah distributed
orders to his higher officers, and assured the
people that he would in the future, as hereto
fore, govern with wisdom and moderation.

NOTHING like leather is an old proverb,
but one that is likely to be often recalled by
those who will attend the International Ex-
position of the Leather Trade" to be held in
Berlin next September. All nations have
been invited to participate, and most Of them
that have anything at all to do in the manu-
facture Of leather will doubtless do so. For
the exhibition of special branch of industry
it gives promise of being one of the most
successful of the day.

THERE are about $4,000 native and half
white inhabitants at present in the Sandwich
Islands. The natives are rapidly disappear
ing, the yearly deaths among them exceeding
the births about 1000. This disparity dates
from the introduction of Christian civiliza-
ton. The half-whites on the contrary in-
crease. Many of the most prominent white
men have married native women and have a
numerous offspring. The marriages between
whites are also very prolific and the children
are strong and healthy. The natives in gen.
eral have small families, and rarely more than
three children. Most Of, the latter kings have
died childless. The present king has no
children. To all appearances the Chinese
will be the dominant race on the island as
they increase faster than all the others put
together. During the. last year several hum
dred Chinese were shipped to the island from
California and China, there being now there
several thousand, the Hawaiian government
giving the captains of vessels thirty dollars
for every Chinaman they bring. When tht
coolies first arrive they work patiently on thu
plantations, but they seize every available op
portunity to set up in business for themselves
Two of the first merchants in Honolulu were
formerly of this class, one of whom recently
married a handsome native after she had re
fnsed the hand of a leading white man, al
incident which is not uncommon. The
Chinese have at the present time possession
of the small trade in all its branches, ani
are cordially welcomed at the palace of Kal
akaua, where they are treated the same a
the whites. To them Hawaii is indebted fo
the introduction of one of the most loath
some infectious diseases that atfiicts humani
ty. The extinction of the native race in tn
near future and their substitution by Chin
ese population seems to be the inevitable fat
of the islands. This will lead necessarily Il
the undoing of all the good works of the mis-
sionaries, and to the reversion of the island
to paganism and idolatry.
