Belle of the Heavens.

The bgillancy of Venus during the last
two months has attracted general attention,
and has caused many persons not con-
versant with astronomical matters to i'm
agine that new celestial visitant had APP
peared in our system. As she hung upon
the western horizon, her great efiulgence
and apparent increase in magnitude have
given her almost the appearance of a
radiant globe of softly glowing fire, and
inquiries have actually been made whether
this beautiful light in the heavens was not
the result of new electrical experiments
made by Mr.. Edison. The Wizard of
Menlo Park has done many wonderful
things, but he has not yet created star.
As the Sun has explained several times
during the past two months, this is a period

being bright-possibly her gay season,
when the heavenly belle arrays herself in
her finest jewels and puts on the most

theory she is dead, but if it be true, it is
clear that she is still beautiful in death

Not Rational Beings.
Norfolk Pilot.

Norfolk Pilot
There is set of noisy and pestiferous
cranks who are always shouting that Pro-
lection does not protect farmers and their
products, and, then, the very moment
that duties are imposed or proposed to do
what they complain is not done, they raise
a scream to the effect that it ''taxes the
necessaries of life"l
The cranks also, though they complain
that agriculture is not protected, tell us that
it does not need protection, and, indeed,
cannot be protected; yet when protection
takes agriculture under its shield, then
there is a wall of anguish that protection
protects too muchl
These people are difficult to deal with
like Champ Clark, of Missouri-for they
donot comprehend their own inconsistency
and disqualification in all this, and they
blow hot and cold, as the occasion requires,
with inexhaustible and cyclonic wind, and
with total insensibility to logic that
proves that some men, at any rate, are
not rational beings.

The Decline of CalifOrnia's Wheat Ex-

POI -
Edward Berwick, in the Arena.
Fifty years ago two or three hidedrogh-
ers suihced to cary round the Horn the
whole annual export of California; few
hides and little talow. Thirty years ago
two successive seasons of drought put an
abrupt end to the pastoral period, and the
reign of the wheat farmer was ushered in.
The making Of California dates from 1866,
when towns and hamlets sprang up all
over the State; and whether man labored
as lawyer or doctor, merchant or mechanic,
teacher or preacher. his pay came out Of
the boundess wheat field. This area of
prosperity based on grain reached it.
climax in 1882, when Cailornia's wheat
export footed up S43, 100000. Such tan
gible success spurred our rivals to emula-
ton. Australia learned the lesson to such
effect that her wheat soon outranked i'll
price the product Of California. As early
us 1881, in reply to Il description Of our
''header" which furnished TO the Lon
don Times, was requested to send detailed
information to Southern Africa. So the
Afrikander benefited by Californian inge-
nuity at an early date. The following year
Argentina entered the race, with q feeble
export of GS, 900 bushels. This has grown
to an accredited 100000 bushels ex-
ported in the half of 1894. Meanwhile in
that year, CALIFORNIA; output to Liverpool
had fallen to value of IS, 424, 900, or one
fifth the amount shipped in 1882. In 1895
it rose a little, to $40, 02G,l0
What is the meaning of this terrible de-
cline? Simply that California has been
worsted with her own weapons. For a
while inventive ingenuity applied to grain
farming, kept California ahead Of the world.
The gang-plow, improved, harrows, and
cultivators, headers, and lastly, the COM
bined harvester, with its thirty-mule team.
cutting, threshing and sacking the wheat
at a stroke, had enabled the Californian to
compete easily with cheap-labor countries.
For many years this faculty of invention
acted as 4 counterpoise to Argentina s pro
piuquity to the worlds wheat market. OF
course this could not last The fame OF
Calfornias harvesting machinery was
noised abroad and in a single year Argen-
tina imported over 100000 worth Of
reapers, steam threshers, ploughs, etc. The
transactions Of our State Agricultural Soci-
ETY. chronicle the result briefly: "Argen-
tine wheat market" The Californian far,
mer, handicapped by 5000 miles of peril
Gus ocean navigation around Cape Horn,
found himself unable to compete with Ar
gentine.

QUEER METHODS OF WAR.

Many queer things occur in the conduct
of the war that is now going on iE Cuba, be-
tween tie Spaniards and Cuban patriots.
But one of ii e most iemarkabe occurrea-
ces was seen VIXEN the fHbustering steamer
LaurAd rC Gently llnded cargo of MUM
tons and men at Banes, in the open day,
and in the presence of a garrison cf Span
ish soldiers, who occupied the fort at that
place. Among the particulars of the land
ing,as related by the New York Herald, we
find the following;
ga landing was effected without delay,
the forces of Betancourt Manduley aiding
the men who had come on the Laurada.
The guns and ammunition were at once
dispatched to the interior for the use of
Garcia's forces, and Rolof proceeded to
Puerto Principe to rejoin the insurgent
government. Castillo remained on board
the Laurada and returned to the United
States.
Colonel Betancourt, upon the arrival of
the Laurada, sent word to the Spanish
commandant of the fort that the expedi-
ton must land, and that resistance would
lead to the useless shedding of blood.
''The Spanish officer was informed that
upon the decks of the Laurada were effect
i've pieces of ordance, and that if the Span
ish interfered, these, when on shore, would
be used to blow the fort and all it con-
tanned off the face of the earth
'The warning was potent The arms
and the men were landed at the wharf,
and the Spanish soldiers even held AMIGA.
bic parley with the Cubans.
"In fact, during the progress of the dis
embarkation of the cargo from the Lau-
rada, the Spanish in the folt sent word to
the Cuban commander that they had run
short of water. The insurgent colonel at
once sent guard with q supply of water,
and received the thanks Of the Peninsular
soldiers.
"This looks like toy kind of war.
