Havoc by Screen Midgo."

Tho complaints about the destruction of wheat at Indianapolis, Ind, by strange Insect, arc increasing. They come chiefly rom the central and eastern parts of the State, but the ravages of the little bug have already spread to Northern Indiana, aud the Secretary of tho State Board of Agriculture regards the reports as alarming. The insect is what is known among agrcuturists as the green midgc," another species of which is the "rcd midge" The latter last appeared in this region about fifteen years ago and did great damage to the growing wheat. which is now doing such alarming work, has not been seen by farmers since 1865, when it almost entirely destroyed the wheat crop of Indiana and neighboring States. Millions of these appear in n field. settling upon the stalk, from which they draw the sap, causing the grain to shrivel before itis matured. But little is known about the insects, as their ap- pearance is rare.

 John Gibbs Gilbert, the comedian, died in Boston. His illness had been chronicled in all parts of the country, and the thousands of men, women and children who had enjoyed the sparkling wit Of this gifted actor were in g measure prepared for the news of his death. He died at the home of his wifes sister. with his wife and other members of the family at his bedside. He suffered greatly to the end, but he bore the pain with remarkable forti tude. He was conscious until about three minutes before he breathed his last. Then he went into convulsions, and died whilo un- conscious of his surroundings. Heknew that the end was approaching, and made such arrangements as he desired for the disposit- ion of his body.
 MT. Gilbert's ailment was Bright's disease of the kidneys. He had long been troubled with that disease; but he had concealed the fact from his most intimate friends. He came to Boston on May 9 on his way to his beautiful seaside home at Manchester-by-the- Sea. Before leaving New York he contracted 8 severe cold, and when he reached this city he felt 30 badly that he concluded to stop over one train and consult Dr. Jernegan, his physician. He went to the home of Mrs Clark, his wife's sister, to get 8 little rest before resuming his journey. He was des- tined, however, to remain there until death called him away

Milk Not a Beverage.

It is a mistake to look upon milk ns beverage. It is a liquid food, and though it quenches thirst at the mo. ment, it makes it more intense after it has been some time in the stomach, and its digestion has commenced. Healthy infants who receive sufficiency of milk often cry for long periods, to the bewil- derment and distress of mothers and nurses, simply because they are thirsty; and in many cases where indigestion is caused by weakness or insufficiency of the gastric juice, the child would be greatly benefited by drink of water.-- 1.-The Hospital.
