cihHSeu, aS now seems llkely, or is greatly altered there can be no duobt that it will prove only the forerunner of comprehensive system involving devo- lution for the United Kingdom and fed eralism for the British empire
 It is necessary to distinguish the two processes, for although they both aim at the same and they work by diametrically opposite methods Devolution is the split )ting up of closely organized and cen tralized unit like that composed of the -Four countries of England. Ireland, Scot land and Wales. governed down. to the most \ >ty details by what is known as the Imperial Parliament. The federal process implies the creation of really imperial Parliament which will bring into \ the central legislative body all the great semi-independent dominions which now constitute the empire.
 1t Is surprising how both the tory and 'nperal parties have advanced along these parallel lines during the home rule con- troversy, until now they are practically In agreement Only the old fetish of party prevents the leaders from admit
 ng their unity. The rank and file of the
 6eral and tory members of Parliament
 ve abandoned all .pretense and federal
 Is now advocated by a large and Xpidly growing majority on both sides J the House of Commons
 Federalism owes its birth to the tories and devo2ution to the liberals. The fusion of the two movements is due more than anything to the stubborn resistance |of Ulster to the home rule proposal. which has forced the politicians on both |ades to seek to find way out. 1yoooph Chamberladn 1u tna fafhoe oe

 The one thing that they have in Mexico that is entirely dependabull is the climet. The climet newer varies and is not sub ject to the abrupt and sudden changes that charracterizes the administration. One may wake up enny morning in Mexico and find that he has missed entirely hole ad- ministrasion; pressidint and his cabbinet having gone in the nite before and out be- fore day, but the climet is the same
 The climet eethur does one of two things all the time It eethur rains, or 1t don t. They have what they call the rainy seesun: during the rainy seesun theere Is nuthing else much goes on. The rain starts rite in and furnishes the job without evver stop ping to get its breth. As Mexcons have newer yet discuvvered the slitest use for watur they regard the rainy seesun moor or less as an affliction, and take it as an act of Providence espesslally designed to re fill the ocean, and let it go al that
 Enny thing that looks like work down heer IS verry unpopular. 1t Is remarkabull how few Mexicons work-the suggestsion of work makes about as big hit with the average Mexicon as it does with the hired gurl.

That of eether going to work for a ivving him. self, or getting marryed and letting his wife do the working, or embarking in the in- insurging bizness. Ninety-nine times out of hundred he picks out one of the last two. When he goes to work for himself he is no longur an average Mexicon; and is mentally unfit for enny thing else
 There is one thing almost enny Mexicon can do, and that is to pick gittar, or toot a horn. Neery evvery Mexicon you run across is a good tootur. The flour and shiv- valry of evvery town and precinct belongs to the Silvur Cornet Band and can play La Palooma They have to lurn how to pick the gittar before they can get marryed, for one of the essensials in ourtship is that they must pick the gittar at theere lady loves window evvery mite for long, long time.

WHEAT SHOWS
RALLYING POWER

BY JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.

CHICAGO. May 21.-Wheat was
possessed Of wonderful rallying power
and final prices for the day showed
net gains OF 7-Sd1 5-Sc. The market
was nervous affair and while the
situation looked weak early in the
session there was "A complete change

threw overheard gOOdly lines Of July
and September and when a few OF the
more timid ones attempted to cover
their short lines. the wheat was not

The trade at the moment is anxious
for news Of a bullish character. They
welcomed the report OF a leading crop
expert in which il was claimed that a
reduction Of 100000. 600 bushels in
the winter wheat crop from few
weeks ago is among the possibilities
These experts spoke OF the Hessian
fly damage as more widespread than
the grain world knows and placed the
losses in some sections Of Missouri as
high as so per cent. In a few sections
OF that state the losses will, IL is said,
be total. 1t was also claimed that IN
the southern sections of Illinois the
crop is infected with both fly and
chinch bugs.
Kansas millers sent in favorable re-
ports. They say there is no Hessian
fly in that state worthy Of mention
and that the reports of their invasion
was idle rumor.
New buying power must come
into wheat in order to hold the price
firmly. ia the opinion OF the writer.
and there must be a spread in the
Hessian Fly damage in order 10 ad-
vance values.
Corn was strong today and there
were net gains of g n SIS. Heavy
rains continued in Argentina and the
expOrtable surplus of that country
has been reduced by experts TO $780,
cocoon bushels and il is expected that
shipment will be small until the end
Of June. Farmers were asking ad-
vances for their corn and the country
elevator people were also demanding
higher rates. Reports on the new
crop were favorable.
Oats were strong and higher for the
entire list the strength coming main
~ from reports Of poor progress in
the growing crop.
There was a better cash trade in
cured meats and the provision mar
ket was strong. notwithstanding the
weakness in hogs at the yards and a
slackened inquiry for fresh meats.
Shippers were buyers of July ribs and
shorts of July pork. Packers were the
leading sellers.

places where the need of just such a
work of ready reference is recognized;
and still others. for fear they could
not take two sets out at once returned
