THE European situation is not as prom
ising as many journalists and correspon-
dents would like. 1t is believed by
many that the failure of Turkey to sub
due the HerzegOyinians will result in an
Austrian and Russian invasion, in the
alleged interest of peace, Once within
the provinces, they will not 90 out, and
Turkey will be curtailed in her domin-
ions. If this happens, other Turkish de-
Tendencies, where the Christian popula-
ton is large, will rebel, and thus the
partition of the empire be effected
Should Turkey declare war against the in
vaders, other great powers besides those
directly attacked could hardly keep out
of the fray The English purchase Of
the Suez canal stock looks like resolve
to keep marine communication with
India open at all hazards, and it certainly
is a most important precautlon against
any Russian movements toward Hindoo-
stan from the northeast, which an out
break of war might suggest. We can
not fully believe the prediction of the
London correspondent of the Toronto
Globe, that war over the eastern ques-
tion will certainly break out during the
coming year, but the sky is not wholly
free from clouds. Cincinnati gazette.

instead OF having less milk every cold

week, for five months. Publishing my
experience In the New England Farmer
led others to 60 and do likewise, and
some years after, one CORRESPONDENT
said that one item was worth more to
him than the cost of the paper-and so
gave the ball another push, as all should
do. found that with properly con.

that kind man Is kind to his beasts,

Bees can not be successfully wintered
out Of doors, and empty combs prevented

Tue moisture thrown off in animal res.
piration is In fine particles like steam

the top OF the hive, it settles in drops at
the farthest and coldest part Of the hive,
and when lodging on empty combs they
are bllghted with nildew, and in few

PRISON RULES ENF0RCED.-The Sheriff
posted up the prison rules on printed
card In the jail. Among other things
morning prayers and singing were re-
quired. The official got along very W ell
with most OF the prisoners under him,
until one day fellow was placed In his
charge for larceny. He refused to obey
the rules Of the printed card, and was
discovered chewing tobacco and
shuffiing pack of cards. The Sheriff
stripped him Of the forbidden things,
called him into his office and asked:
"Have you concluded to obey those
rules ?v
81 never pray, and can't sing" was
the reply.
''If a man doesn't want to pray cant
force him to, l suppose; but you've either
got to sing q hymn, or you won't get q
mouthtua TO eat TOR the next week."
II won't sing for no live man." was the
determined reply.
He was locked in a cell, and he held
out for two days. At the end of tnai
time he broke down and came to the
point as follows:
"from all that dwell below the Skies"
(Gimme something to eat.
"Let the Creators praise arise;"

formerly Union Pacific station agent at
Cheyenne, has arrived from the Black
Hills. He reports the creeks all frozen
over solid, except Spring Creek, and thai
all mining operations have been sus,
pended until spring, excepting the Allen
and Montana Companies mines, located
on Spring Greek, where the volume Of
water Is sufficient. They are able to
keep at work washing gold, and they
hand. They average daily $40 a day to
the man.
He says that all throughout the Hills
there are hundreds OF miles of creek
banks, and none of them but will yield
from So a day upwards. He reports that,
so far, but few rich diggings have been
found, but all are paying well. Dis
ceveries on White Wood Greek are such
that Sc, 900 is the price named for claim
Of three hundred feet. Dead Wood
Greek is also particularly rich in gold.
Mr.. Mckay will return ut once to the
