Catnip is one of the most valuable
plants for bees. The flowers are rich in
honey, and for several months, COM
mencing with June of each year, yield
it freely at all hours and in every kind
of weather. A patch may easily be
raised from the seed, sown in the latter
part of summer or early in the spring.

were craftsmen of untiring patience, and
placed by the conditions of fcudal life

pictorial effect. The modern lac Is an

Caesar and Agrarian Laws.


Julius Caesar was elected to the Office
of Consul. He saw that the peasant pro
prietors were melting away. and thai the
city of Rome was being clicked with iri-
poverished burgesses who ought TO have
been farmingand fathers of families, but
were degenenting into rabble and feed
ing upon public grants Of meal" Julius
Caesar was not a revolutionary politician,
but he he saw that if revolution was to
be escaped some reasonable reform WAS
inevitable. 50 must every impartial OBJ
server Of the present incidents and cir
cumstances of British land at the present
dav. If the noble Roman Lords could
have forgotten their fish preserves and
their game preserves and recollecied that
they had most important duties 10 fulfill,
the then existing Government might have
been maintained. But they made no
sign. they offered no concession, and Cr-
sar introduced his land law. by that law
no injustice, no wrong was 10 he done to
existing oocupiers, and no rights of prop
ertv violated which had any tangible or
lust foundation. Discerning the political
perils of the times. Caesar proposed To
buy az large tracts of State land held by
the great landed proprietors ON the usual
easy terms. and 10 initiate the reform by
settling 10000 veteran soldiers upon them.
1t was admitted that Cesars reform was
a mild and moderate one, and vet II was
hotlv opposed in the senate. Caesar could
make no progress there, and finally took
his bull by the horns and appealed tothe
popular assembly. The Forum was
crowded to excess. Pompey spoke IN
support of the measure, and in a scene of
much excitement and disorder the agra
rian law was passed. The readers of the
d" Croker Correspondence Will find po-
litical parallels in the terror which beset
the governing aristocracy in 1881 when
the moderate and necessary reforms OF
that year were proposed To them and
again. when Sir Robert Peel carried the
repeal of the corn laws. Moderate n
form exclaimed Croker, Sc moderate gun
powder Recurring Ia Caesars policy,
il should be added that a land commits
sion was at one appointed towork out the
new land law. and thus the question WAS
set at rest for his time. But il i certain
that the treatment of the land 10y the
Roman Senate and aristocracy was for
centuries a dangerous and irritating Gle
ment of popular feeling.

Fees of Great Surgeons.

The fees of great surgeons and physi-
cians have an Interest for the public az
well a. for the recipients. Hunter never
gained more than $4,000 a year, and ion
many wears he gained less than el,ODo
Sir Astley's profession brought him tnf-
ling sums for several years in the fifth
year Of his practice he only gained tloo;
but in time his increase rose TO el5,OOO a

Sir. Benjamin Brodie's receipts from first
to last are stated To have far exceeded
Cooper's II was DIR. Hope, if We. remem-
Der rightly, who said that no physician,
he did not say no surgeon, could fairly
earn o than COCOA year. That state
ment wa made, however, when physi-
clans were content with smaller fees than
at the present time but even now there
are probably not a large number of Lon
don physicians who have the choice OF
following Sir Henry Hollands example
and combining their professional income
to $4,000 a wear, in order TO retain leisure
for study, recreation and travel. Ii was
vulgarly reported that DIR. Chambers,
when his right hand was injured by
blood poisoning, that his fingers became
crooked from the continual habit of TAX
ingTfees. Few physicians have been more
popular. and it l. said lac could scarcely
depend on one regular meal a day, -
great was the demand for his services.

Vet his fees do not appear to have ex-
ceedcd 5000 guineas a year, Il limitation
that may be accounted forby frequent i'll
nes-es. Dr. Baltic, the brother of
jeanne Baillie. who fiourished in the
early part of the century, had perhaps Al
that time the leading practice in London,
and il said to have made 10000, in some
wears. And this high remuneration was
not confined to the metropolis, for 10
vears 10 Sir Dominic C~orrigan, of Dub
lin. was receiving an income Of $4,000
per annum. 1t might bc judged from
these figures that the medical profession
is one Of the most profitable. No doubt
it is - 10 eminent doctors, just n the
Bar is profitable to distinguish barristers;
but the medical profession has, We think,
this advantage over the Bar-that

Rainbow Parties.

find the young lady wearing the dppli-
cate number on her apron. The tickets
are generally one dollar each, but at u
South Side party Il few nights ago they
brought five dollars each.
After all the young men have found
their aprons, or rather their young ladies
wearing the proper aprons, the master Of
ceremonies announces the conditions.
The Young men are to hem the aprons,
and the one doing the n%csteSt, quickerSt

Agricultural.

of success. In all farm work ,bose virtues

a firm hold on the sill and the firsi sagas
arr passed over before the dangers 81 au

two weeks of dry weather which usually
iIsppen early in the season destroy more
Young plants than any after damage
