THE WHEA L MARKET.
North America Can Dictate the Price
To the World

w. G. Johnson of the Maryland Ag
from F. Hammesfahr, of Antwerp, au-
thor of The Corn Trade and Options
Market, from which the following is
taken:
Antwerp, Oct 30-For the moment
wheat is rather dull because stocks
are everywhere too large. Thus the
trade has once again taken up too
much merchandise. The question of
whether or not the trade will get rid
of it's stocks at profit lies only with
1.-the farmer. If the farmer take no
heed of the position Of the market, and,
without using his intelligence, con-
tinues to bring forward supplies, prices
must decline, the trade and the farmer
both will lose money, and the latter
because he has himself spoilt the
market. But if the farmer holds back
his supplies, as his own interests re-
quire, and by doing SO enables the
merchant to sell at a profit, then the
latter will gladly pay ten cents higher
bushel and even more to the farmer.
The merchant does not trouble himself
about the price at which he purchases;
all he wants is to resell at a profit.
Therefore, always when the stocks are
large farmers should hold back; if
stocks decrease in consequence, the ad-
vance comes by itself and the farmer
will sell larger quantities at good
prices until the trade has again been
sufficiently supplied and stocks have
again increased. And then the art1fi-
cial pause in farmers deliveries must
come again until stocks are lessened
again.
There has never been a more favor
able moment that the present for the
American farmer to employ these tao
ties. In India wheat prices are so dear
that there is question of sending the
grain out there from this market.
Several cargOes of Australian wheat
have already been sold to India. Rus
STA is too dear by Is to 20 cents; the
/ Danubian States have nothing; the
Argentine crop is at an end, and the
new crop cannot be shipped before Feb
ruary and March. North America is
the only exporting country in the uni
versal market, and can, therefore, die
| tate the prices.

lilies. The future work of the census
commissioners will be to study these
doubtful characters in insect life in or
der that their purpose in living may
be ascertained, after which they too
will be set down as either good or bad.
Of the 113 families of the bad insects
some of them are of most graceful
character, for those who do not spend
their lives in devouring thousands Of
dollars worth of vegetables every year,
gobbling up spring cabbages, early pO-
tatoes and succulent' young peas in the
most ruthless fashion, have as their OBJ
ject in life the sole desire to bring
suffering and disease to the animal
kingdom, of which man is part.
While the good or beneficial insects
are Of less interest to us at the present
time, it is instructive to know just
what their mission in life is. Of the
ZIG families, seventy-nine devote
themselves to the destruction of their
wicked, Notwithstanding brethren,
thirty-two families act as scavengers
and clear away with great rapidity all

matter, which otherwise might cause
wholesale death by plague; two act as
pollenisers and three form food for
eatable fishes.
One of the most important achieve
ments of this census commission, how
ever, has been the determining of the
proper classification for the mosquito.
l. 20
years that the mosquito, though often
a nuisance, was public benefactOr,
and that his determination would re-
act upon the races Of mankind. Con-
trary to this opinion, it is now known
that they are most harmful insects, one
of the most harmful families of the in
sect kingdom, in fact, and that, instead
Of absorbing elements that might be
injurious to man, they themselves in
ject disease into the bodies of their
victims.
Ernest Austin of the natural history
department of the British museum
knows all about mosquitoes. He says:
Il have found that such diseases as
malaria are undoubtedly con-
tracted from mosquito bites at
times, and expect to prove
that it is always so. We have already
found that bird diseases in India are
spread by parasites peculiar to them,
and there is little reason to doubt that
a similar state of affairs exists between
mosquitoes and man. and that malaria
and it's kindred diseases are due to the
bite of this insect"

VENDETTAs OF THE PRESENT.
They Differ But Slightly From the
Feuds of Other Days.

1t is through lack of information
that the vendetta is referred to today
as an institution of the past. Vendet-
tas-blood feuds-exist today not only
in Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, but in
Kentucky and other of the southern
and western states, and also at times in
England, Ireland and France, Italy and
the east
1t has happened recently that an AL
bantam whose relative had been killed
by Turkish vizer shot the vizer's son
which is at least a partial exemplif-
cation of the vendetta. In Arabia the
system is today in full operation a fact
which is so well understood that Of
lenses sufficient to start train of kill
ings are rarely committed, and a con-
siderable degree of order is thereby
preserved.
AS it is genrally understood the ven
delta originated in the following
practice: An assassin was never al
lowed to escape. The responsibility of
punishment was assumed by the near
est blood relations of his victim. There
must be blood for blood, a death for
death.-New York World.

HARM DONE BY THE MOSQUITO.
Scientists Believe They Inject Disease
Into the Human System.

The mosquito, according to English
erous and harmful of insects. At
least that is the inference to be drawn
from the bug census" of the kingdom
just completed.
The idea of taking a ''bug census Or
iginated with officials of the British
museum. The results obtained have
been so remarkable that Investigations
along these lines are to be verified, and
every effort is to be made to get the
information obtained into such form
as to make it of great value in i'm
proving the health of humanity.
This novel census of the insect king
dom has been taken on purely scien-
tifc lines, it's original object being to
determine if possible which insects
were a boon and blessing to humanity,
and which were the reverse. Altogeth-
er the statistics that have been OBJ
tanned have quite upset the old ideas,
and text books will have to be changed
as the result of this investigation.
According to the opinion that has
WIN
as all lower animals were created for
the benefit of man. 1t is true that sci
ence has not held this opinion for
years, but it has certainly been the
popular opinion. Instead of that these
English scientists have proved to
their own satisfaction that, while there
are many insects that render us con-
siderable service, there are almost as
many that are properly termed pests, -
and some of these little enemies of men
succeed in accomplishing an amount of
evil entirely out of proportion to their
size.
According to this census there are
sol families of insect life, and these
have been divided into three classes,
good, bad and Indifferent. The good
insects number 116 families, the bad
insects 113 families, while the insects
of whom not enough is known to per-
nit the Investigators to classify them
at present numbers seventy-two fam

2. The Irish Brigade has not yet
made use of a white flag. They have
seen British soldiers seek protection un-
der it several times.
8. No charges of committing out
RACES upon women have been made
against Colonel Blake's Irishmen, or
against any section of the Boer army.
Such charges have been made by Boer
Generals, Boer Chaplains, and Boer
Freshmen against some British soldiers.
4. The Irish Brigade have never at
tackled or injured a wounded English
man on the battlefield. The British
Lancers did attack and kill several
wounded Beers at Elaands Laagte,
where Judge Koch and DR.. Coster were
stripped of their clothes and robbed Of
their watches and money after being
wounded. If Colonel Blake's Irishmen
had done anything akin to this to
wounded Englishmen, at, say, the bat
tie of Modderspruit, where they turned
the tide of victory for the Beers, one
wonders what language the Times"
and Scotsman" would employ in de-
nouncing the unsoldierly deed?
1t is alleged that the Irish Brigade
paid more attention to drink during the
fight at Kroonstad than to the task OF
defending the town; that they set fire to
the railway station, and then ran away.
Possibly, after weeks fighting at the
rear OF the retreating Boer army from
Brandfort to Kroonstad, they were
tempted to take any Refreshments which
might come in their way when reaching
the latter place. OF course, English
soldiers would never dream of violating
their well-known temperance procliv-
tiles on corresponding occasion! The
burning of the railway station was done
by the orders of General Botha, and was
not the work Of Blake or his men.
The "running-away" charge is an
absurdity on the face of it. Blake's
Brigade was in the rear-guard OF Bo-
tha's army all the week, and they were
the last of that force to retire from
Kroonstad as an overwhelming English
force arrived--Yours very truly.

ANTRIM.

In Belfast, on the afternoon of July
II, the upper end of North Queen street.
from Artillery street to Duncairn gar
dens. and the thoroughfares adjoining
on both sides, were the scenes of great
excitement owing to riot which broke
out suddenly in the locality. Two mobs
came into collision about the end OF
Earl street, and in few minutes the
place became regular pandemonium,
missiles of various descriptions being
thrown in hundreds. The residents in
the neighborhood quickly pulled the
shutters over their windows and barri-
caded their residences. The few police
on duty were utterly unable to cope with
the mob, and assistance was sent for.
While extra police were being obtained
the rioting went on fercely, and in a
short time North Queen street was lit
tered with stones, and windows suffered
