Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four | hours; a sediment or settling indicates | an unhealthy condition of the kid- neys. When urine stains linen it is ositive evidence of kidney trouble. ‘oo frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

March 23.—Took my papers to the White Housa to-day. Thought I'd wait and have a private talk with the President, but Secretary Porter said I’d have to go along with the rest.

Farmers in the vicivity of Em- poria, Kan., report that the worm which destroyed the apple crop last s-ason has returned again this year in greater numbers than ever. Many | orchards are already denuded of their foliage, which will destroy the fruit. The worm is a species of caterpiller and forms great clumps on the frees, requiring but a day or two to strip a tree of its leaves. They form wevs, each one apparently in control of its particular thread. If the tree be shaken the worms fall part orell the way to the ground, and then, spider like, climb back to the limb from which they were dis- lodged. They are quite partial to the apple tree and doa’t bother the peach and other fruit trees. The hackberry and ash trees are also an object of their yengeance. No remedy has yet bean discovered that will ex- terminate these pests Paris green is not effectual. The apple crop this year ie especially promising, but will very soon ba destroyed unless eome method for ridding the trees of theee peste is discovered and applied. Black Eye Given to the Filley Cohorts, it is Claimed. Washington, D. C., May 10.— Webster Davis, who was recently appointed Assistant Secretary of the Interior, baz gone to his home ia Kaneas City, with assurances of democratic senators from Missouri that his nomination will be confirmed by the Senate this week. Mr. Davis’ confirmation wil bea black eye for the Filley cohorts, who came here to defeat him, and also the nomination of C. E. Smith to be Surveyor of the Port of St Louis. The Filley men have gone home quite convinced that their faith in the administration is not of a “char acter as can ba classed as great ” County Court Proceedings. ACCOUNTS ALLOWED. J J.
