and 964 pounds dressed.
A correspondent Of the New York
Times reports product of 200

Coal tar, in which stone lime had
been mixed, freely swabbed on birch
maple and elm fence posts, set out by

by these posts remaining sound for
twenty years.
If he expects to be successful the
bee-keeper must love his calling, and
have taste and adaptation to that
business. THIS is the case more par
ticularly with the bee-keeper than
with any other calling.
The garden vegetables and small
fruits are too commonly grown in
clumps and patches or in fence cor
ners and by-places, where all that is
done for them must be done by the
hald kind of labor, too often fall
into neglect and become a burden. Ar
range them all in rows admitting the
free use of horses and cultivator, and
it is a pleasure to care for them, and
they become attractive ornaments,
yielding many times their cost of

awful freeze has completely destroyed
my wheat; every stalk of it is dead"
Second farmer: "Now, neighbor,
I'll agree to harvest your wheat next
summer and turn you out five bushels
for every acre, if you'll let me have
the balance" First farmer: ooh!

Mr.. Wetherell. stated that COWS upon
an average need forty-fve pounds of

parts Of glyccrine, lime juice, and rum
and rub well into the roots Of the
hair. This forms an excellent hair
oil.
CARE OF KNIvEs.-Do not permit
case knife blades or forks to stand in
hot water. 1t expands the steel and
cracks the handles. Ivory handles
should never be placed in water.
A REMEDY FOR FRESH WOUNDS.
Take green tea and pulverize it fine
and bind it on the wound or cut, al
lowing it to remain until healed. IT
the wound becomes dry and painful,
wet it with cold tea.
\ Hop VINE.-This beautiful vine
makes a delightful shade for porches
and windows, and can be utilized for
domestic purposes, one vine yielding
enough hops to make into yeast to
supply any ordinary family year.
CURING CoENs.--Pcople who suffer
from corns should keep bottle of
ammonia upon their wash tand, and
rub the corn night and morning with
the extract. This, with little care
and trimming, will soon reduce them.

LOCATION FOR AN ORcHARD.-All
experience confirms the selection of
high, billy ground for fruit growing.
The temperature In winter is always
warmer on the top of the hill than in
the valley, and in summer the air is
dryer and less liable to create insect
disease. In clay lands, set the trees
on top of the land and plow up to
them, leaving drainage and the dead
furrow in the centre. - american

Ancient Canals IL FIoriaa.

At meeting of the "Fiorida Branch Of
the International Chamber OF Commerce."
at Jacksonville, DR.. Kentworth stated in
his recent explorations in South Florida
he had discovered long lines of unfinished
canals, undoubtedly designed to drain the
everglades. "One fact mentioned by the
doctor might create the belief that the
Indians, if not the designers of these
works, were the laborers uron them, as
the remains of some Of their excavating
tools or implements have been found alsng
the line Of works, consisting of scoops
made from the shells of the conchs fashioned
for this use, having perfOrstion, through
which the thumb was passed, while the
fingers graeped the convex surface of the
shell when in use. Whoever planned these
works must have had very correct engineer
ing ideas, and would be supposed to have
have supplied themselves with tools better
better adapted to the work of excavsting
canals than those rude shell scoops fur
nished when put to practical use. If
they had any knowledge Of the
manufacture and use of iron tools in
those days, all traces of them would have
been removed by the total O1ydation and
dispersion of the metal during the long
time which has elapsed since these works
have been abandoned; and wooden shovels,
if used, could not have withstOOd the de.
vOuring tooth of time,' and these rude i'm
plements of shell, alone, convey to Us the
idea that the laborers 1T least were primi
tive rAce, living before the arts of clviliza-
ton had been introduced among them. The
unfnlahed state of the works indicates that
the intention Of the designer was never fully
carried out."-PensacolG Ga-ette.

A New D.ily.

The leaders of the Democratic party
throughout the State have been quietly in
consultation in this city the past few days,
and it has transpired that . determination
WAS reached to establish q new daily paper
in New Orleans, devoted to the interests OF
the straight-out Democracy. A corps OF
the ablest unemployed newspaper talent
has already been engaged to conduct its
management directly under the eye of the
Democratic State Committee or the "Com-
mittee of Seventy" This movement is said
to have been inspired by the unreliable
character of the Conservative press Of the
city, which, it Is claimed, has had de-
moralizing effect upon the country Demo
cratic press. The policy of the new paper
will be uncompromlsing hostility to the
State government = the '.usurpation" 80
called, and the administration of President
Grant, who is blamed as it's author ana
eustainec.

The Rising Wafer and the DAMAGED Crops.
MEMPHIS, August 6, Noon.-The river
here is rising steadily at the rate Of two
inches in twenty-four hours. Weather
cloudy and threatening. The levees below
here as far down as Friar's Point are still
reported good, the only break being at the
cut in Old Town levee. through which the
water is pouring, threatening the plantA-
tiOns below from the rear.
The St. Francie, at Madison, Arkansas,
had risen four feet at twelve o'clock last
night, and was rising rapidly. This wafer
comes from the Mississippi river near New
Madrid, and threatens the fine cotton lands
above Helena, on the Arkansas side. Cot
ton men predict the loss Of $4,000 bales of
cotton in the Memphis district alone from
the present outlook.
A letter from the mouth Of White river,
2l5 miles below here, written on the fourth
instant. says it will take foot more water
TO get on half the cotton outside Of che
levee, one. third OF which ia now in the
water, and a foot more will take in at least
half. Behind the levees we can atand three
feet without damage. The corn was planted
in low places, and il now iD the water and

wemas Suffrage in Wyen.iss

1t ID pretty we'll known to the old pioneers
that the Sentinel advocated woman's eut-
frage here in Wyoming, and stood by it
pretty faithfully, in its iufAAcy. and in
those times when it was in jeopardy from
its enemies. We never advocated it from
just the same standpoint that Miss Anthony
and Mrs. Woodruff do, nor did we ever ex-
pect It would be attended by just the same
class Of results which they anticipate tor it.
We mover supposed women, as separate
and distinct party, or as individuals, would
reap any special benefits frem it, aside from
the common interest they have with the
community at largo in having good lave
and efficient government, and in this We
are not disappointed. And We refer briefly
TO the subject now because there are 90
many newcomers here who have not had an
opportunity to watch the practical work
ings OF this experiment..
have had time to coolly estimate the results
There arc those who can remember
the condition of things here si1 or seven
years ago. and can compare them with the
present, and though We might differ some
what as to the causes which have produced
this change for the better. yet We shall be
Able to agree upon few facts.
We never had term of court here. held
IN decent and comfortable place, with it's
pfOcoeulhgs marked throughout by decency
and decOrum. and divested of everything
pertaining to lsvity and blackguardism till
our ladies were summoned to attend and
participate in it.
We never had . grand jury here that
boldly and unflinchinglv took hold to in
vestigate Otfenses against deceucy and
morality, and hunt out aud bring offenders
to punishment, till we had q grand Jury
composed largely Of ladies.
We have had several terms of court, but
had scarcely been able to convict or punish
. single criminal for any crime, however
heinOus, through the medium of those
courts, till we got juries composed largely
of women.
We did not have . single election here
without drunkenness, rowdyism, quarrel
ing. fighting and bloodshed, until our wives,
mothers, sisters and daughters were per.
mitted to accompany US to the polls. We
well remember the time when many q man
stayed away from the polls, losing his
rights of citizenship rather than encounter
the danger and rowdyism he must meet in
order to exercise it. But all this is changed.
Our elections 60 off as quietly as any other
social gathering, no matter how heated q
political campaign may be or how important
The issues at stake. And we all point with
pride to the result, whether or not we
agree as to the cause which has produced

There is pretty general impression that
under this Indian visit there turks scheme
for putting about Gl00, 900 at the very least
into the Princes pocket. The Prince. not
withstanding an annual income OF El2O, 900,
can not keep out OF debt. How he manages
to spend 30 much money 10 SO mysterious as
to amount to Q scandal. His residences
and estates are provided for him, and are
untaxed; and were he to give dinner
party every day in tho year TO twenty
princes, at twice the price p1r head of .

third Of his income.
Tho report was circulated that no was
burdened with expenses by the Queens
withdrawal from court; but tho Queen has
taken pains to have it reach the public that
the Prince has suffered NO pecuniary loss
on her account.
Some little time ago repeated efforts were
made to feel the pulse OF the country to find
if it would be safe to ask the House of
Commons to pay the Princes debts without
showing the vouchers. These efforts we're
successful; the pulse of the country was
felt, and revealed plainly that it would not
be safe. Efforts TO raise his income were
equally fruitlese.
It 10 plain we are separated by . con-
siderable moral interval, however brief in
time, from the days when Parliament was
SO generous in paying Princes of Wales
debts with public meney. It seems like
ancient history, rather than plain Parlia-
mentary proceedings of sixty years ago, to
read that when Troutbeck, the Mapping
tradesman, died bequeathing large sum
for schools for the poor, the Prime Minister
stated to the House that be was happy to
intern them that, although the Prince Of
Wales debts exceeded his income by
quarter of . million, the nation would not
be called upon TO pay the whole, for a
tradesman of Mapping, named Troutbeck,
had died, leaving q sum OF money for the
building of some schools, and d further
sum, considerably exceeding 100000, to
tho maintenance and education of poor
boys in the parish; and he 1.-THE Mini-ter)
vas authorized BY the Lord Chancellor
(Eldon) TO state that, inasmuch as the said
Troubeck had no relations, the whole of
his property was an escheat to the crown.
It was only in 1917 that the money left
by the tradesman to educate the poor from
among whom he sprang was brazenly
divided among the blacklegs, fddlers,
jewelers.. tailors. opera dancers, and some
less creditable creditors. Such things can
not now be done in tho old open-handed
way. The Prince OF Wales debts are to be
paid partially under cover of presents to
Indian princes. Sixty thousand pounds
have been voted him for this purpose.
