Good For kentucky.

A great Kentucky interest, the Leaf
tobacco trade, has recently earned
fresh congratulations. The principal
foreign tobacco monopoly, known as
the Italian Reggie, announces that its
requirements the ensuing year will
call for 5000 hOgsheads Of Kentucky
tobacco, an amount which is nearly 80
per cent. greater than that Govern
meat has taken in any recent year. 1t
appears that the. contractor for last
year did not succeed in furnishing the
quantity of tobacco required of the
prescribed qualities, and considera-
bic percentage OF his tenders were
rejected, thus bringing over Il conting-
ent from last year to be added to the
wants of Italy from the crop of 1884
The Spanish Government will take
about 81 ,0t0 hogsheads of Kentucky
tobacco. If 10000 hOgsheads go to
England, 15,O00 to Germany and r.
900 to France and 10000 TO other
quarters. there is an oltlet of 10000n to
10000 hogsheads OF the Kentucky
staple from the very generous yield of
1884. The compatlhjlities will thus be
aptly adjusted between production and
distri button; but the trade will, OF
course, recognize that foreign takings
will be regulated in degree accord.
ing to prices. The foreign supply is
moderate, but unreasonable prices
would reduce the purchases of Amer
lean tobacco, and cause resort tosub-
stitutes produced in other countries.
The relative cheapness of Burnley to-
baccOS in the present year will result
in the substitution of considerable
of that type in the English
and Garman trade for the old types of
Kentucky tobacco, which have for
merly supplied those markets.

North American Rs,lsw.

With all her other troubles-in
Egypt, and Ireland, and Asia-old
England has also been passing through
a serious agricultural crisis, in which
the ancient proyerbial expression
@as good as wheat" lost its force, for
the price of that commodity touched
the lowest point it has reached in the
life OF this generation. What brought
ON the crisis, what were its effects. and
what remedies have been proposed,
are questions that concern the Ameri-
can almost as much us the Englishman,
whether he be producer or a consul
mer OF wheat and they are very ably
and clearly discussed in an article by
William f. Bear, editor of the Mark
Lane Express, in the North American
Review for April. In the same num-
Der Charles Dudley Warner presents
an Interesting Study of Prison Nam
agement," while Robert Buchanan, the
English poet, discusses Free Thought
in America" T. V. PowderIy "The
Army Of the Discontinued" and Prof.
Hunt, allow to Roform English Spell
ing" The other articles are: THE
Laws Delay" by Chief-Justice Thomas
F. Hargis," and characteristics of
Persian Poetry" by A r. SpoGord.
But what will probably attract the |
most immediate attention in this num-
Der is the new department of "Com- |
ments" consisting of brief criticisms
of articles that have appeared in the |
Review. Murat Halstead's political |
article in the March number is here
discussed by three writers-a Demo-
crat, a straight Republican and an
Independent Republican. Richard H.
Stoddard comments with a good deal
of feeling ON Max MuIler's Buddhist
Charity" and other correspondents
take this pleasant opportunity to offer
4 single thought where an extended
article would, perhaps, find neither
room nor readers.

u the Birds should Die.
lPittshurE Dispatch.I


The birds destroy countless millions
of insects, and this well known fact, of
which everybody is so tired, contributes
more toward the product ton of supplies
than all the work done by farmers. II
is known that the birds all over the
world eat more insects in one day than
all the human inhabitants could count
in q year, and if they were all to die
the world would come TO an end, for so
fast do insects multiply that one season
would pass and the next would not find
a leaf, bud, blade of grass, or other liv-
ing thing on the face of the globe The
change would DO as though the sun had
ceased shining and perpetual winter en-
wrapped the earth. This is what is
meant by the remark that birds eat a
great number of bugs

Realistically Painted.


When Wores was painting the Chinese
picture he sold, think, to Lord Rose
berry, he borrowed from a Chinese
restaurant lot of Chinese provisions,
such as are usually found there, to copy
for his painting. These he never
showed, but when be heard visitors ap-
preaching he would stuff them behind
the canvas. One day three ladies came
IN and sat down to examine the picture.
Isn't il clever" said one.
Il think it is so clever, said another.
The third had risen and gone close to
the canvas. We'll, l declare. never
saw anything so realistic. Those
eatables are so realistically painted that
/ can smell them"
The artist smiled and said nothing.
but he took care that everybody smelt
them after that, ami they made a great
reputation for his picture.
