On very heavy clays there has been some damage, but on light and loamy soils very little injury has resulted. The reports for this time of the year are quite up to the average. The frost of the first week of June was felt to a very slight extent. The reports from all parts of the province are practically the same -that after the rain the wheat soon picked up and showed less injury than had been supposed. No more than usual has been plowed -up and resown to spring grain. Reading out was in progress on the 15th In some places the growth was quite rank. With favor- able weather for the next three weeks a good crop of fall wheat may be looked for. At present the conditions promise an aver- age yield. In the Lake Erie district the crop was fair to very good, except on low lands and very heavy clay. Damage by frost was very slight. In the Lake Huron districts most of the reports are for a. good crop. Some attention is given by corres pondents to the benefits of drainage, which were very apparent during the present sea- son. In the Georgian Bay counties a small fraction of the crop has been lost, but on the whole it is quite up to the average. In the West Midland geoup the best reports come from Wellington and the worst from Middlesex, where, however, the crop is re ported fair. Along Lake Ontario the re ports are favorable for a fair crop -fully up to the average. In the eastern counties the amount of fall wheat is too small to affect the total, but reports are favorable. To sum up. The present condition is fair with prospects of a crop quite up to, if not a little over, the average with favorable weather. Spring Wheat. -As usual, there is but little spring wheat in the western part of the province, while in the eastern half the acreage is declining. The low lying lands have suffered severely, but the higher lands have fair crops. The grain was sown in fine condition, and is now recovering rapidly from the extra rain, in many places correspondents state that the rain did more good than harm. In the eastern counties about one-third of the spring wheat is either destroyed or is in poor con- ctition ; two-thirds may be said to be fair to good. Less than usual has keen sown in the Northern districts.

VI TB TIVEB6 BLACK DEATII OR PLAGUE, NOW RAVAGING CHINA AND NAY SPREAD TO OTHER COUNTRIES. Thle is Plague evastated Loudon in 1645-A Pestilential Emanation Front the tAround-The Chinese Desert tite WLet- e4-Wh Corpses net Buried, but Laid in the Sun to *Way. The records make it evideut that the singular plague now ravaging Chine is the Black Death or Plague which devastated le London, in 1665. It has its origin in Yu. nun, a Chinese province where it is endemic. The Whelk: missionaries hold that it is a pestilential emanation from the ground. As it slowly rises all animals are drowned, so to speak in its poisonous flood -the smallest creatures first, and man, tallest of all, last. Its approach often may be fore- told by the extraordinary movements of rats, which leave their holes and run about the floors without a trace of their accustom- ed timidity, .springing continually upward as if trying to jump out of something. The rats fall dead, the poultry, pigs, goats, ponies and oxen successively. In man its approach is indicated by minute red pus- tules, generally in the armpits, but occa- sionally in other glandular regions. If plenty of pustules appear the case is not considered so desperate me when they are few. The sufferer is soon seized with ex- treme weakness, followed in a few hours by agonizing pains in every part of the body. Delirium shortly ensues, and in NINE CASES OUT OP TEN the result is fatal. It often happens that the patient suddenly recovers to all appear- ance and leaves his bed, but in such cases the termination is always collapse and death. As soon ea a case appears the Chinese desert the afflicted, leaving him in a room 'whole the clover crop promises to be below with a jug of water, peering in at the the average. Damage by insects is reported from a few counties. - t window at intervals and prodding the victim - I with a long pole to ascertain if life is extinct. present indications are for a crop about two-thirds of the average. Barley. -In the Lake Erie district only a moderate quantity has been sown and the condition is under the average. ft has suffered from rain and, also from frost. In the Lake Huron district barley is not in so good a forms as spring wheat; it is back- ward and a little yellow in places, but is now improving. In the Georgian Bay district rain and frost did some injury, but an improvement has taken place since warm weather returned. In the West Mid land district the crop is reported as being uneven or patchy and backward. In the Lake Ontario district the condition is a. little under the average. In the St. L. mace and Ottawa district the condition is reported as more favorable, and with good weather a fair crop will be obtained. In the East Midland district the crop is fair. In the NOrthern districts nothing of any consequence is reported. On the whole it may be concluded that the barley has suf- fered quite extensively, is backward in growth, but at present is making very rapid progress, and with a continuance of favorable weather will probably come up to nearly the average of the last two years. Oate.-The reports from every section of the Province aee practically the same, and to the following effect : The rains drowned out the crop on low lying fields. On higher lands, and those underdrained, little or no damage was done. At the time of report- ing the crop was making a very rapid growth, and becoming somewhat rank in straw.- A few fields were baked with the hot sun, but on the whole the prospects were most promising, the only unfavorable report being as to the lowlands. The crop is on the whole somewhat more backward than usual, brit present conditions point to a yield fully up to the average. Rye, -There appears to be less and Ieti of thie crop sown every year. As far as reported upon it came through the winter in good conditiate was favorablyaffected i by the continued rains and now is n excel- lent oondition, having made a very heavy growth. Peas -The continued reins aid more damage to this cromthan to the other spring sown crops. Hedy sown pone have done well on hight lands, but) on low lands have euffered heevily. The rains retarded sow, log so that a large acreage hies been put in late. As e consequence the yield will be a little shore in quantity, but at present the quality of the crops is in general all that could be desired. The reports frets the largest a counties of the teat are MEOICAL CO,. 8liffilo, Nit, I Corm -In the south-west a e�sinUabl� Roots and Potatoes .--Early planted potatoes were much injured by frosts, and large quantities rotted on low lands. Late planted potatoes are now coming on well. The "bug"is not more numerous than usual. The season is not far enough advanced to report upon roots, as sowing is later than usual. Bees and Honey. -Reports regarding the condition of bees are variable. The loss during winter appears to have been about the average were hives were left on the stands, but the mortality appears to have been greater than usual whets the bees were wintered indoors. The fine weather of the M late arch and early April days gave bees an earlier outing than usual, but the wet and cold weather which afterwards prevail. ed was very trying to the apiary. - Several correspondents complained of spring dwind- ling, and losses from chilled brood and hun- ger were reported from various parts of the province. There has been practically no mention made of foul brood. With contin- ued fine weather it was expected that colonies would pick up, and the honey making would go rapidly forward. Labor and Wages. -Out of every eight correspondents reporting, seven stated that there was a sufficiency of labor, and as regards quality, one out of every three men offering for farm help was considered a poor hand. The result of the large number of men seeking rural employment in the spring and early summer is seen in the lowering of the scale of wages. The aver- age amount paid monthly, with board, was 816.48, compared with $17.17 in the previous year. With board, monthly wages averaged $24.48 or 22 cents below the average rate of the preceding year. Day laborers averaged 83 cents with board, a falling off of 5 cents compared with 1889, while those working by the day without board, received but $1.11, or 6 cents less than the year previous. Domestic servants are still scarce on the farm ; the woman question has still to be settled in that quart- er. A LEPER AT NIAGARA. . In the country the corpses are not buried but laid out in the sun to decay, poisoning the air for miles around. The disease is known in Yangtzu (under the name of bubonic fever), in Laos, Siam, in Burmah and and in Queycho, China, where it has pre - ailed for years. Never before, however, has it made its way to Canton, and to Hong IC:mg, whence it may spread over the earth. One reason for attributing its origin to miasmatic influences is because it always appears on the planting of the rice in May and June. It penetrates by caravans and travelers to the uplands and becomes more severe by fall. Sometimes it passes over certain communities in its line of progress, only to return later on or next year. W hen it appears the rpeople desert their homes and crops and flee to tent a in the hills. In some provinces the population is decimated, and WHOLE FAMILIES DISAPPEAR.. The Patient isolated in a Tent -The EIrst Case in Ontario. Dr. Bryce, secretary of the Provincia, Board of Health, has been notified of the discovery of a case of leprosy at Niagara Falls, Ont. It would appear that the victim of the loathsome disease is a vagrant who came from the United States. The man was reported to Dr. Oliver, medical health officer for Niagara North, as being ill. The health officer examined him, and in order to thoroughly assure himself celled in the health the officer for Niagara South to assSie in diagnosis. The conclusion come to by bosh medical men was that it was a case of leprosy. Accordingly tke man was quaran- tined by being placed in a tent outside the town under guard of a policeman. He will be kept there until it has been decided what disposition shall be made of his case. The superintendent ef Dominion quaran. tine has been communicated with by the Ontario health authorities in order to as- certain the proper course to pursue. There is a lazaretto for lepers maintained by the Dominion Government at Tracadie, N.B., but the question arises whether the Cana- dian authorities would be justified in send- ing thither a person who has evidently crossed from the other side. Dr. Bryce states that this ia the first case of leprosy that has come under his knowledge in Ontario. Our Trade With Britain. British imports from Canada during the month of May inereased 56 per cent, corn., pared with lest year, and for the five months of this year the increase Was 73 per cent. The chief increases for five months were :-Fish, 4260,0001 wheat and flour, 445,000 ; bacon, 435,000; cheese, 455,000 ; woodt. 420,000. The exports from Great Britain to Canada decreased 44 per cent. during May, and for the five months there was a decrease of 17 per cent.

Ween atio bed Children, sliegeve there: Ctistorl quite favorable.it Dr. J. F. Pyne, in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, says that the plague is a speci- fic febrile disease transmissible from sick to healthy persons, accompanied by glandular swellings and sometimes carbuncles. In the minor form swellings of glands occur in the armpits, groin, neck and other parts which suppurate. The severe plague begins with ague, the patient becomes distracted and staggers about. The temperatare rises to 100 and 107 degrees Fahrenheit, glandul- ar swellings, carbuncles and hemorrhagic spots .appear. In all plague epidemics cases occur in which death sets in wtthin twenty .four hours. The nature of the soil has little influence on plague, but a moder- ately high temperature is favorable. The disease is unknown in the tropics. In northern 'countries the disease is generally checked in cold weather. Bad sanitation is favorable to plague. No special line of treatment has proved efficacious in checking it. But by hygienic measures a locality can be made unsuitable for the spread of plague. In the middle ages Europe was frequently visited by plague, which was called the Black Death. The great plague of London, in 1665, from which nearly seventy thousand people died, out of a population of about half a million, was not an isolated phenomenon, but was preceded by a series of smaller epidemics the last of which occurred in 1663-1664,in Amsterdam, when PIPTY THOUSAND PEOPLE DIED. The disease has always shown a tendency to spread, but by a law not yet understood each epidemic is liable to a spontaneous and sudden decline. In the eighteenth century the plague was very peevalent in Europe, and visited Constantinople Aus- tria, Poland, Russia, Germany, Italy and France. In 1815 Europe was panic. stricken because the plague had appeared in Noja, on the eastern coast of Italy. This was its last appearance in that country. The epidemics in Egypt between 1833 and 1845 are very important, because the dis- ease was then almost for the first time scientifically studied by skilled physicians, chiefly French. It was found to be less contagious than reported. The last out- break of plague in Europe was in 3778-9, on the banks of the Volga. It was very virulent, and at Vetlianka, out of a popula. tion of 1,7000 there were 417 attacked and 362 died. The epidemic probably took its rise in Astrakhan, in 1877, and was not brought from Turkey by Cossacks after the war, as wag popularly supposed. But the conditions under which mensma.tie forms of plague are spread are as yet nnknovrre i Plague has been observed n China since 1871, in Yunnun and at Pakhoi, a port in the Tonquin Gulf, since 1882, Where it is said to have prevailed for at least fifteen years. in Yunnan it is endemic and at Pakhoi it occurs nearly every year.

The net addition to estimates last -September is 136,000,000 bushels, or six per cent. -the early estimates being 2,213,000,000 bushels, now increased to 2,449,000,000.

The notable feature of the exhibit by the Corn Trade News is its esti- mate of the crop of Argentina, placed at 90,000,000 bushels for 1893, an 55,000,000, for 1892. While we cannot deny the ap. proximate accuraoyeof these figures they reflect an enlargement over estimates foe previous years which are difficult to recon. cile with the probable increase in wheat culture in that country in recent years.

A Washington, D. a, despatoli says 1,-, Some facts that will doubtlese surprise persons interested in cotton growing and spinnieg are contained in a report to the State Department by United States Consul Penfield, in Cairo. He says the shipping of cotton from Egypt to the United States is casually considered as anomalous and auperfluous as the sending of coals to New- castle, but the records show that Egypt is aggressively competing in a smelt way with us, not only in Europe, but at home, in supplying raw cotton, and the consump- tion of Egyptian cotton by New England spindles has grown from nothing 10 years ago to more than 40,000 large bales, equivalent to 60,000 American bales, and valued at $3,000,000. The Egyptian cotton area, which was about 863,5acree 52 in 1892, now equals 1...072,541 acres, an astonishing advance. It is asserted that the use of Egyptian cotton in the United States is in no sense inimical to our eotton inter- ests, for it is used mixed with our cotton in ways that would not be possible for an un- mixed produet. The Egyptian cotton plants this year are strong and'well rooted and the crop bids fair to exceed 1,500,000 of American bales. Consul Penfield says that, should the projected scheme for perennial irrigation, long considered and now almost assured, be authorized and carried out, the amount of arable soil a -vet can be doubled. With Egypt's srop thus augmented, Southern Russia entering the field of competition, overproduction in In dia ie imminent, and the market ruling lower year by year, cotton economists and theorists in the United States have material for serious reflection. MEN AND wo4vzsn. OWEN ELECTRIC BELT, Gambling in Stocks and Grain. Mr. Cox, the president of the Bank of Commerce, in referring to losses by Cana- dians in stock and grain speculations, placed the amount at many millions of dollars, the most of it going to support the brokers of New York and Chicago. There is prebably no town or city in Canada which does not contain some victims of the speculative desire to make money by a turn in wheat or stocks. There are not many jails but have contained prisoners whose downfall was traceable to the same desire. There are not many who know the extent of the operations who will doubt the accuracy of the very large figures Mr. Cox takes to describe the amount of the losses. There are not many but, like him, will regret the existence of so widespread a gambling spirit. But there are none who can suggest a remedy, other than the teaching of experience, which the great majority of such speculators refuse to take except at first hands. In the British navy is the most singular ship in the world, the polyp hemus. It is simply a long steel tubs buried deeply in the water, the deck rising only four feet above the water's level.
