husband came in to secure my service

that was in a fix, and that I must do
something to prevent one or the othe,
from consulting another attorney

An Enemy OF Wheat and Barley.

The crop of wheat and barley in Cal
ifornia is being injured by beetle
shaped insect, the aphis aver@, more
this season than ever before. In 1879
it destroyed the oat-felds of Humboldt
county, and in 1881 did large damage
in the grain fields of Pescadero. As
yet this insect confines its operations
to the Pacific slope. It has wings, and
possibly may follow the course of the
potato-bug and the grasshopper and
come east. Cereal and other crops are
more and more becoming affected with
the destructive irsectivora in all parts of
the country. The farmers in the east
have to fight for the life of their corn,
peas, hops, as well as wheat, potatoes
and barley. Fiel!s have frequently to
be replanted on this account. No suf-
ficient attention has yet been paid to
defeating the work of these insects by
scientific treatment.

The game of bluff which Sidney
Dillon is playing suggests an outcome
of the relations between the Union Pa
ciGc and the government, which is not
altogether improbable. From 1894 to
1898, the whole burden of Indebtedness
resting on the Union and Central Pa
cifc companies falls due. The bonds
issued by the government to help build
the Union Pacific reach S35, ,139, ,512. now
amounting, with unpaid interest, to
$84 77S754 The Central Pacific debt
on the same account aggregates S46,-
466, 100. 1t will be impossible for either
road to pay this enormous debt. If
tlsey fail, the government has the right
to foreclose. The companies will prob
ably ask congress to pass an act by
which the government will take up
these bonds, and issue others in their
stead, to provide for which the present
contributions of one-fourth of the net
earnings will be continued. II this is
not done, the roads will be given up.
The owr ers of the Union Pacific already
control parallel line to Ogden by the
Atchison and Rio Grande roads, and
connection to the Pacific can be easily
made, The governmen ent surely does
not want the road on its hands, and
some arrangement is likely to be made
before the bonds are due.

IT is easy to see that the bill Just
introduced into the house of commons
looked to an amelioration of the con-
dition of the English tenant farmer and
curtaiIing of certain long cherished
rights OF the landlord class, viii provoke
bitter and long discussion. Nor is it
possible at this time to forecast what
will be the fate of the bill in Parliam ent
or the result Of it, even if it passes, on
the increased harmony and prosperity
Of the British agricultural community.
Naturally the s. npathy of average
mankind is with the tenant class, and
as a matter of sympathy liberal minded
people will hope for the success of the
measure. But it is not difficult to see
that any change in the old established
relations of landlord and tenant in En-
gland may IN these times work al man.
ner of new injustices and confusion. 1t
is clear that Mr.. G &Gstone could not
have chosen q better measure on which
to test the comparative strength of the
liberal and conservative parties in
Great Britain. 1t is question, too, on
which the Irish members of Parlia-
ent must, in sheer self-defense, st
range themselves on the libera
side. If they do this the omons are
favorable tor the reform measures the
Irish desire.

The War Department has sent orders
10 the fifteen army-recruiting stations
to SECURE as many recruits as possible,
with proper regard for the qualification
of the applicants. This IS not due to
the fact, as has been reported, that
there is an unusual number of deser-
tions, but to the fact that many terms
of enlistment now expire The demand
for recruits, however, will not cause
any lowering of the standard. Nearly
al the recruiting stations of the War
Department are now open, which is
not customary at this season of the
year.

Ascending now to humanity, how, let
us inquire, is the panniculus developed
in man and what are the functions it
can be shown to possess? AS our pre-
vious studies will have led us to ex-
pect, the panniculus of man exists,
firstly, in q condition which may truly
be described as rudimentary when
compared with its development in
lower life. The scalp music has just
been noted to represent part of toe
panniculus, which in man thus be-
comes split Cp into separate and de-
tached portions. Another part of the
great skin muscle of the hedgehog is
found in the muscle which in human
anatomy receives the name of platys-
ma. This latter muscle exists as a
broad sheet of foers, lying just beneath
the skin on each side of the neck. In
man it serves to wrinkle the skin of the
neck, and it also aids in depressing the
lower jaw. In other psfts of mans
body traces of the division of the pan
niculds are also to be found. In the
proportion of about 8 per cent. in up
ward of 800 bodies examined, Prof.
Turner tells US that a muscle of mans
trunk, usually regarded by anatomists
as of ordinary type, is really frag-
ment of the great skin muscle.-Lone-
mans Magazine.

THERE remains but little doubt that
the wheat crop will fall materially be
low that Of last year. There have been
at least three estimates for the month
of May, which substantially agree in
this prediction They were made by
the Agricultural Bureau at Washing
ton, the Ohio State Board of Agricul-
ture and the Milwaukee Chamber of
Commerce, and place the decrease at
from seventy five to one hundred mill
lions of bushels. While there is ample
time for o very decided improvement
IN wheat prospects between now and
the time OF harvest the general uni
formity of these reports of the present
condition may be accepted as indica-
tive of large shrinkage from last
years crops. Luckily there is a good
surplus of wheat left over from the
abundant harvest of last year, and the
four hundred million bushels that will
be garnered this year, judging by the
present prospects, is largely in excess
of our own possible wants for home
consumption.
