The Hesslan Fly.

The male. 1t will be seen. is a little
smaller than the female, which Is

shown the f1axseeds.
This insect was first noticed on Long
Island in the year 1776, and was called
Hessian Fly. on account Of the belief
that it was brought yer in wheat

in the flaxseed state of this insect be-
tween the leaf and stalk Of wheat
causes the stem to swell and the leaves
to wither and die. The body Of the
female Is rather slender. uniformly

somewhat fiattened. the eyes are black,
the wings uniformly dull smoky
brown, while the legs r paler brown
than the rest of the upper. side of the
body. The male is rather smaller
than the female, being distinguished
by the long. slender abdomen and the
longer and more hairy artennae. in
which there are twenty joints.
The egg is of a pale red color, very
minute in size. about q fifteenth of an
inch in length. The eggs are usually
laid on the upper side Of the blade near

Pensions and Pensioners.

No pensioner of the revolutionary
wal survives. The last one died n
1869, at the age of 100, but last yea:
there were and doubtless still are four
revolutionary wiuows on the pension
rolls, none of them older than eighty
six. Pensioners widows make little
of the lapse of centuries. Judging by
precedent, it is not improbable that
$50 years from now there will still be
widows drawing pensions on account
of the services of their husbands in
our late war with Spain. Only one
1872 is left. His name is Hiram Cronk
He is 100 years old and lives in Oneida
county, New York. About 1000 Wild
ows Of 1872 are left ON the rolls. The
pensioners of the civil war hold out
very well indeed. Every year on June
30. they are counted. In June, 1893.
the number on the lists was 993, ia.
Last year there were about 2.OOO less,
and this year also there are fewer than
in 1898. but the commissioner says
that in 1901 the list will beat the rec
ord, because al act of congress. passed
last May, has extended the provisions
Of the law Of 1890 so as to let in many

Navy DEPARTMENT L,brarx.

The navy department library Is rap
idly assuming its proper proportions
and is regarded as the most valuable
in this country In these branches of
literature dealing especially with sea-
faring lore, travels. explorations, his
tories of ships and navies. and the aim
for the future is to make here the
naval library Of the country. The COL
lection of photographs from life of
foreign naval vessels in the possession
of the office Of naval intelligence is
probably not excelled by any similar
collection in the world. Through our
naval representatives abroad this de-
partment has been steadily gathering
information in this form for many
years past. and 1t is not too much to
say that with the information in store
here the navy department can inform
itself at once Of the exact force of any
nation at any designated point of the
globe. This information relates to
personnel and material and is in the
main exact and official.

ousloox Ia. cattla Prices.

For many years to come the prices
Of cattle must be. good. especially for
the better class Of meat. The recent
depression had the effect Of checking
the breeding Of cattle of all kinds and
the number Of cattle in the country fell
steadily for q number Of years. The
result Of that curtailment Of the cat
tie supply is that the base on which to
produce the vast numbers nov annu-
ally required Is restricted. There is
another factor that enters ve7y large
ly into the solution of the problem and
that is that the people are demanding
more than eve q finer quality Of beef.
There was probable never a time when
the difference between the poorest and
best meats in the markets was so
great as it is today. So 1t comes about
that in the city Of Chicago one can get
porterhouse steak at Is cents q pound
or at IL cents a pound. and at all
prices between the two. The quality
Ut the steaks varies, Of course. accord
ing to the prices. except when poor
meat is dishonesty palmed on on the
customer for high-quality meat. The
difference in prices indicates that the
high-quality meats are in great de-
mand. These high-quality meats come
from pure-bred and grade stock. The
increasing prices for the high-quality
meats indicate that the money in the
future for cattle raisers Is in well-bred
animals. Most assurcdly that man that
Is doing his best to grade up his herd
of cattle is paving the way for good
money returns In the future. The
experience Of the past few years. when
men rushed out Of the business OF
breeding good cattle because there was
a temporary fall in the values. should
teach men today that the course of
wisdom lies in steadily improving the
quality Of their cattle.

legs are visible, OF the bugs may be

Thus 1t will be observed that however
