A Black Walnut FAMINE.

According to the Des Moines State
Register the lumber dealers of England
are making grand raid in Iowa and the
other black walnut States and are fast
taking from them the little of that tim
Der that is left. The Register says: The
traveller along the railroads of this State
sees now, at nearly every important sta
ton, little outdoor steam saw-mill
working away like mad, ripping up
black walnut logs into great slabs. All
over the West, in the black walnut belt,
these little saw-mills are cutting up into
certain form of broad and thick slabs
all the black walnut that can be got hold
of. A large and wealthy corporation of
Indianapolis men, cooperating with a
company of English capitalists, are the
proprietors of these mills. They have
their buyers out at every little station
and i'll the rural districts, and wherever
the smallest patch of black walnut can
be found. Two of these little mills are
now tearing away at the city of Des
Moines, another at Mitchellville, and
all that we have left of this valuable
timber in Polk County and Central Iowa
is fast passing under their saws, coming
out broad slabs and going thence direct
ly on the cars on their way to England,
where, in their greater wisdom the peo-
Pile have come to know that black wal
nut wood is already as valuable. because
of its durability, beauty and growing
scarcity, as mahogany. It is general
raid all over the West and our farmers,
if they knew of the scheme, would not
sell their walnut trees, as they are sell
ing them now, for mere 1.-THE of what
they are really worth.

The Cut Worm.

There is scarcely any land free from
the wire worm, Or any crop that is not
subject to their voracity. They occur
wherever grass will grow, being partic-
ularly harbored among cloverroots, and
are always prevalent in meadow and
pasture lands, seeming to thrive best in
the vicinity of swamps and woods.
Young oats, wheat, rye and barley suf-
fer much from being partially or entirely
cut off below the surface; cabbages and
many root crops are also injured; tur-
nips, perhaps, more than any other, as
they are cut off when young, and have
the roots badly eaten into when larger.
In gardens they are very destructive.
1t appears that Indian corn is the great
est sufferer, especially when it is the
first crop planted in new land, or when
the season is cold, wet and late. Up
ward of thirty have been planted in a
single hill, and nearly the whole of the
seed planted is sometimes destroyed.
One of the most successful remedies
on a large scale is mixture consisting
of two parts of quick lime, three parts
of SCOT and one part of coarse or refuse
salt. This is used as a top dressing,
being applied Immediately after COM
pounding, and should be well rolled in.
It has the advantage of being perfectly
harmless to the crops, indeed, it is a
most excellent and powerful fertilizer.
as well as destroyer of all kinds of in
sects and many weeds. Refuse from
gas works, nitrate of soda, rape cake
and chloride of lime, mixed and spread
with manure, are highly recommended,
and the sowing of soda ash or guano
broadcast when planting. A previous
crop of white mustard is claimed to
clear the land of them, presumably by
starving out, for the roots of the mus
tard are extremelylacrid and occupy the
soil to the exclusion of any more nutri-
tious ones. close grazing with sheep
seems beneficial when pastures are
badly infested. The same result is also
obtained by compacting the surface with
heavy rollers. rs.-Ercha,2ge

The Suicidal Season.

With the return of the heated season
and the blood fermentation Incident
thereto, the work of self-destruction on
the part of the human family begins.
The daily list of suicides has been largely
augmented within the past week. Singu-
lar as it may seem, a fellow who can
calmly sit down and contemplate his
woes and his poverty in mid winter, at
a time when life is a bitter struggle,
will incontinently blow off the top OF
his head as soon as the weather gets
warm, food abundant and the demand
for clothing limited. Life can be sus-
tanned much easier in the summer than
in the winter, and one would naturally
think that most discontented people
would manage to shuttle off late in the
fall, at the threshold of the expensive
season, rather than at time when ma
ture smiles, the birds sing and straw.
berries retail at five cents quart. The
fact that they do not is evidence that
the hot sun aggravates brain disorders,
magnifies physical safferings and pro-
duces bile.-jSt. Louis Post Dispatch.

ing which it cooed like parrot whose
feathers are being rubbed down. With
the returned mate it began nest on a
small table by the window in the young
lady's room. The nest-a most un
comfortable affair, about the depth of a
-plate-was made of large, rough
sticks, some of them about ten inches
long, which they brought and laid on
the outside of the window-sill, if the
window remained closed, for the occu-
pant of the room to add to the nest,
which she faithfully did, and the nest
was soon completed, the inner lining
being dry grass and straw. But one
egg was laid in this rude nest in its pres
ent location, inasmuch as the male one
day decided the fate of '' household and
home," by bringing to his mate large
gopher snake, which twirled itself around
his beak more than half alive, where
upon, with peculiar nervous sensation,
the lady Immediately removed their
lodging to the ''cold ground" among
the cactus, where the birds hatched a
promising brood, and again brought
them to the house for food like chickens.
The young birds are much like young
turkeys, and at full size are about as
large as half-grown turkey hens. The
&C. road runner particularly mentioned
never forgot its attachment for Miss

And day and night are the same as one.

And what Is it all when all is doneP
Grains of sombre or shining sand,
Gliding into and out Of the hand?
The fisher drops his net in the stream,
And hundred streams are the same as one,
And the maiden dreams her love-lit dream,
And what is 1t all when all is done2
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And the dreaming dreamer always wakes

But dipping my pen in the ink, and then?-

Customs of the United States Senate.

The United States Senate, says the
Washington Star, represents the con-
servatism and the dignity of the Ameri-
can people, and to be member of that
body is an honor second only to that of
being President of the United States.
The Senate is frequently criticised by
flippant writer's because of it's "heavy
dignity" but instead of being subject
of criticism this feature ought to be
and is with thinking people-one of con-
graduation. The Senate is the perma-
nent Legislative body Of our Govern
ment, and partisanship is not permitted
the sway there that it exercises in the
House. There exists what is known as
the "courtesy of the Senate" and
though no rule requires it, it is always
strictly observed This {" courtesy is
largely non-partisan in its nature, and
no Senator would think of violating it,
In regard to nominations it requires
that the Senators from the State TO
| which the appointment is made shall be
consulted upon the question of contirma-
| ton or rejection and their decision in
all ordinary cases determines the result.
| When the Notwithstanding appoint
| ing power-is opposed in politics to the
majority, as now, the custom is to
submit the matter to the Senator or
Senators, if there are any, from the
State affected by the appointment.
This courtesy governs the promotions
on committees, too, and no Senator
would ever think of prescribing any
other rule in this respect. When
| Senator is assigned to committee his
name is enrolled at the foot of the ma
| jority or minority to his pol
itlcs-and as those above him retire he
goes up. For instance, when the DEM
ocrats got control of the Senate it was
easy for anybody to determine what
Senators would become chairmen of the
respective committees. The highest
name among the Democrats on each
committee was promoted to the chair
manship in all cases except those where
the same Senator occupied that position
on more than one committee. This
courtesy" contributes largely to the
wel-ordered dignity which the Senate
maintains, because it prevents any
scramble for preferment-and nothing
is more undignified in a statesman than
! that.
In the Senate the method of obtain
ing the more eligible seats is of the
same quiet and dignifed order that
prevails in regulating other matters.
In a book kept for that purpose the
Senator has his name entered as choos-
ing a certain seat whenever the incum-
bent shall retire from the Senate or in
any other manner vacate it. The Sen
ator may have to wait years for the seat
of his choice to become vacant; but there
is no other way for him to get it, unless
the possessor voluntarily makes an ex-
change with him. And such thing as
voluntarily vacating choice seat never
occurS

She Cared for the Little Ones.

A few weeks ago a sparrow built her
nest in one of the trees in the yard
around Mayor Forwood' S residence, and
in short time three OF four pretty lit
tie sparrows were Matched out. There
was nothing particularly strange in this,
but what is to follow seems to us little
above anything in reference to the SPAR
row that we have heard. Thursday
evening, while the storm was raging
and the wind whistling through every
branch of the trees, making it decidedly
uncomfortable to be out, the mother
sparrow, true to the instinct which
prompts everything to care for its
young, carried the little sparrows from
the nest to the corner of a window-sill,
away from the severe weather and
then carried the nest down, put the lit
tie ones in it and rested safely from the
storm all night. She and her young
were well cared for. If this had not
been done, the young sparrows would
no doubt have been drowned. Chester

Warm-Weather Diet.

The first warm days are fruitful of
complaints about the failure of the appe-
petite. Breakfasts are no longer relished,
dinners afford but languid interest,
and suppers seem superfuous. Only
vigorous workers out of doors, or young
people who are so blessed as not yet to
have made the acquaintance of their
stomachs, come to the table with real
zest for food. And it is no wonder,
considering how few people have yet
learned the art of altering their diet to
suit their own conditions and the state
of the season. The spring appetite fails,
and ought to fail, before ham and eggs
or a great piece of steak, on these en-
ervating first warm mornings of the
year. Rich soups, heavy meats and all
stimulating and blood-making articles
of diet, that met real want in the nip
ping and eager air of winter, are as
much out of place now as the furs and
ulsters. And yet many person who
would think it sign of lunacy to dress
in the December style in May, does not
appear to see any incongruity in eating
in the December fashion. Food and
coal create heat, and thick clothing and
tight houses preserve it for the comfort
of the body in winter. Yet men who
KNOW enough 10 uuInp Unelf furnaces,
open the windows and lay off their over
coats on the advent of spring, are stupid
enough to keep on stoking their stom-
achs at full blast and consider themselves
out-of-sorts'' and i'll if nature resents
the abuse.
1t is time to let up on the cold-weath-
er diet-especially for persons doomed
to live indoors. A mold of well-cooked
oatmeal, served cold with cream and
sugar, with two or three oranges and q
cup of coffee, makes an adequate and
appetizing breakfast. All fruits and
vegetables obtainable fit in well at this
season. The many preparations of the
small grains afford variety which it
is well to study. Milk and eggs and
fish contain all the needed food-ele-
ments for diet of a month or two, with
such sugar and starch as the housewife
combines in toothsome light puddings
OF other desserts. Whether we eat to live
or live to eat, we ought to be rational
enough to dispense with food when not
hungry and to tempt rather than force
the appetite. Rule.
