.1 State Governed by If'omen. Among the colonial possessions, or, more correctly, dependencies, of 'here is retnarkaMe little State which, in its constitution and inal costume of its inhabitants, of women's right. In the Is' and of Java, between the ities of Batavia and Sa-maran. is the kingdom of Bantam, which although tributary to Holland, as an independent State. The sovereign is, indeed, a man, but all the ret of the government belong to the fair si.

The King is entirely dependent upon his State council. The highest authorities miltarr commanders and soldiers are, without exception, of the female sex. These am axons ride in the masculine st jle, wearing sharj steel points instead of spurs. Thej carrr a pointed lance, which they swing Tenr grace fully, and also a musket, which discharged at full gallop. The capital of this little State lies in the most pictures-je part of the Island in a fruitful plain, and is defen Tel by two well-kept fortresses.

Aiteeica will milk the cow, while England holds her by the horns, Russia by the tail. Ax exchange says: An editor is a man who lives on what other peorle owe him until he starves to death. A subscriber is one who takes a rarer. says he is well pleased with it and tells everybody else he "ought to sub scribe." After he has subscribed about seven years the editor writes to him and asks him to let him have $2.50, and then the subscriber writes back to the editor and tells him not to send his old paper any more, for tnere is nothing in It, and then the poor editor roes and starves to death some mora.

Lovis Keil, leader of the rebellion against Dominion authority in the Northwest, is idolized by his half breed followers, who number 30,000. He has chained them to him by hi gift of firey eloquence and by hi undaunted courage.

Since IS 72 he has dwelt among his people, makin only two eastern visits one to Otta wa as representative elect from his district in the Parliment houses the other aa a temporary inmate of an insane retreat, near Montreal. He is not the same man this struggle that he was in 1S70. His courage is of that feverish kind which alwavs seeks for excitement until its po aesser is finally spent with its force. The people whose cause he fights have suffered at the hands of the Provisional government, and inch by inch their land is slipping from them In the struggle for supremacy it may not be difficult to fortell who will be the victor, but blood-thirsty, half in sane, as he now stands at bay, Louis Keil will not be forgotten in the north west as a leader of his people the Frence Metis, as the half bre eds are called. As will be seen by reference to Sec retary Sims' report, the loss on wheat from freezing and flies in Kansas, as gathered from reports up to March 25 was equal to 27 per cent, of the crop of last year.

The acreage this year is 27 per cent less than it was Ust year, when it was something ertwo million acres. Putting it at 2,000,000, a decrease of 27 per ent. would leaye 1,460,000 acres for for this year; and throwing aside 27 per cent, of that for flies and frost, we have left 1,055,500 acres, not half as much as we had last year. But what matters it beyond the loss of seed and the labor of putting it in the ground? The fields are in good condition for corn, and corn is an excellent substitute for wheat in many cases. Last year the farmers in Kansas raised five times as much wheat as all the people of the state needed for their own use.

If half as much is raised this year we will still have pleanty for our own use and a great deal to spare. Every piece of wheat ground that does not ahow op by the first of May well enough to let alone ought to be plowed at once and put in corn. If weeds have not started, the ground may be loosened with a cultivator, except where listing is done. But if weeds and grass are growing, turn the KTOund with a sharp plow and plant immediatsly.
