"OLD MOsEs"-THE LARGEST TREE-A section
OF the largest tree in the world is now being ex-
hibited by MeSsrs. McKearnan, II. H. futile and
Hubbs at vacant lot on Market street, near
9Th, for few days, before being exported to
New York and Europe. This tree, called '.Oid
Noses" from mountain Of that name, near
which grew, was discovered by Prof. Knowles
In 1874, On the Tule river Tulare county, Is miles
from Visalia. 1t was $40 feet in height, and
must at one time have been considerably higher
from the fact that the top had been broken Off
at some long past period. The tree, when broken
OIL, was ~ feet In diameter, and had two pro-
Jecttng limbs, measuring respectively and 10
feet in circumference. The tree was III feet at
the base, and the section now on exhibition
measures nearly 100. 1t took nine men four days
to chop down the tree, and the exhibited sec
ton was taken from the site of it's growth at a
cost OF $500, "a horses being required for its
transportation. The age Of this gigantic tree is
estimated, according to the method OF calcula-
ting the age OF trees, at 1924 years. Its circum-
ference exceeds by four feet that of the largest
tree in the MaripOSa Grove The diameter OF
the section in this city is almost 80 feet. The
interior OF the tree is sufficiently capaciOuS to
admit over 200 hundred persons. This gigantic
natures wonder will be found an object Of ad-
miratiOn and well deserving the attention and
study OF the refined and intelligent throughout
San Francisco. The prOpr1etOrS have erected
gallery in the interior OF the tree sufficient In
size for the accommodation OF an orchestra,
This curiosity will be on exhibition both day
and night while 1t remains in this city.-[San
Francisco Chronicle.

Storing Ice.

AS the ice harvest is soon to be ex-
pected, and as every one would gladly
be supplied with this luxury, or rather
necessity in summer, we give a few
simple directions for building a cheap
and adequate building for family sup
ply. Take 1,000feet ofrough pine boards,
twelve feetlong, and eight posts 9 feet
long, also five pieces 2x4 spruce II feet
long. Setthe posts in the ground so as to
enclose square space II feet by II. Cut
off the tops level and square seven feet
from the ground; nail on four of the
2x4 pieces for plates, mailing on the
boards inside the posts, leaving one
space open where the ice is to be put
in. Use the remaining 2X4 piece for
the ridge pole, and nail on boards for
roofing with battens. Aventilating hole
six inches in diameter should be made
in each gable.
Before packing the ice provide about
five cords of sawdust or tanbark, or if
these are not conveniently obtained,
then cut straw or bog hay will answer,
if cut about an inch long. If the loca-
ton is not well drained, drain it. Pack
a foot of dry litter or straw well beaten
down on the ground before storing the
ice; then place the blocks of ice fifteen
inches from the walls of the building,
and fill in between the blocks with
snow or chips of ice, and around them
to the wall with the cut straw or saw
dust, covering up the packing material
with the ice until it is full. Then cover
over the top of the whole with eighteen
inches of chaff, and tread it down well.
If this is watched every week, and the
packing carefully crammed down
around the ice and renewed if necessary,
it will keep well all summer; but if
neglected, will melt away very rapidly,
for when the ice settles in melting it
will leave cracks in the packing, which
will admit warm air, and, if not filled
Immediately, will cause waste of ice.
If tins building can be placed in the
shade of tree near the back door, it
will be better, as the heat of the sun
will not strike the boards, or the whole
may be covered from view by some
quick growing climbing vine for SINH
lar reason.
Where milk is handled in quantity
ice has come to be much used, and it is
a great economy to be able to buy meat
at wholesale and keep it for a week
fresh, as may be easily done with good
store of ice. The above described ice
house will hold about 500 cubic feet OF
ice, or full two cubic feet day for the
warm season, after making liberal al
lowance for waste. If there is at hand
an ice company that makes a business
of cutting ice, it will be found very con-
venient to buy enough to fill the house
of them while they are cutting; they are
generally willing to sell it at the pond
for about dollar per cord, which is
much less than the cost of cutting it by
hand. CultiUdtOr.

at night, at the rate Of fifty miles. Dur
ing the daytime the boats remained sta
tionary, the bees foraging on soft ma
pie and willow bloom, which lines the
Mississippi river its entire length, from
its mouth to the far northern extremity
Of the stream. The season beginning
early in March or late in February, in
Louisiana, moves gradually north un-
til, three months later, il is fully devel-
oped in the vicinity of Minnesota.
Under favorable circumstances, the
600 colonies of bees produce about 1, 900
pounds of honey day. When quar-
tered for the balance of the season, they
find food from the white clover and
bass-wood bloom, which produces a fair
article of demand. An unique sight in
the South, when the magnolia is in
bloom, is the appearance of the bees
after just having visited these flowers.
They are fairly covered with the white
pollen of the flowers and present most
singular aspect.
The amount of money invested in the
bee palace is in the neighborhood of
S15, 900, and the possibility of income
Is enormous, when once the plans of
the gentlemen in charge of the expedi-
ton shall have been perfected. The
past two years have been spent in ex-
perimental wanderings, and much valu-
able time has been lost in shipping the
bees by rail, in order that they might
catch up with the season, or wait for it
to arrive. Mr.. Grabbe reports but few
bees lost by wandering away from the
boat, but numerous stings from the
troublesome insects.
The failure of the honey crop of Cali
fornia for two consecutive years, that
being the largest honey producing State
in the Uaion, renders some extraordi-
nary measures to the increasing de-
mand for this article necessary, and the
projectors of the floating bee palace
have determined to give all their best
efforts to the coming season, moving
South by December, and beginning
their nocturnal voyages in March next.
Altogether the success of the scheme
will be prolific of much good, and will
clearly demonstrate new departure
in agriculture which will largely aug.
ment its already extensive branches,
and cause a new interest in the busi-
ness. CHICAGO Journal.

Man as a Chameleon.

1t follows that we each of us carry
about very nearly as many distinct
selves as there are people who know
us, or think they know us. TO
one we represent one conception, to
another quite a different one. You are
one person to the bearer of contribu-
tion box on Sunday, upon whom you
smile benignantly as you drop in your
coin, and another person altogether to
the tenant whom you eject on Monday.
To the beautiful young lady, to whom
you delightedly resign your seat in a
crowded car, you represent one thing
if, indeed, she gives you thought at
ALL and to the .overladen working
woman, upon whom and whose bundles
you look complacently and unmoved,
you represent another. To the man on
your doostep who is suing for aid, you
stand for unbounded prosperity; but
your creditor, who is just getting out
an attachment on your property, knows
better. Socrates eXpounded lofty phi
losophy in the midst of admiring disci-
plies, and Socrates attempting to ex-
plain to Zantippe why his night key
wouldn't turn the lock, were two very

securing a mfhciency among the
peasant maids of Auvergne and Brit
tany. The present demand, however,
greatly exceeds the supply, and it Is
asserted that Paris alone uses more
than all the available crop in France,
and that Marseilles (the great center of
traffic in hair) deals with Spain, the
Orient and the two Sicilies for forty tons
year of dark hair, of which she
makes upwards of $1,000 chignons
annually. Under the name of "dead
hair" are classed the combings,"
which thrifty servant girls save up and
sell, the clipping of barber shops, faded
curls, worn out switches, etc. The
scavengers of every city, both at home
and abroad, value nothing short of a
silver spoon among the refuse so much
as snarl of combings, however dirty,
as it will find q ready sale. Such find
ings are afterward washed with bran
and potash, carded, sifted, classed and
sorted, and then made into the cheap
front curls, puffs and chignons that
abound in market. Much of this enters
into the cheaper grades of the $50, ,00C
pieces" annually made in France, ol
which enormous trade England is said
to be the best customer and Americs
almost as good. Late reports on the
commerce of Swatow, China, show
that a large export trade in " dead
hair gathered in the stalls of BARRIERS
sprang up in 1873, during which yeal
1880 pounds were exported to Europe
In 1875, the export of this refuse aros,
to 1874, 900 pounds, with commercial
value of over $4,000. 1t is an un
doubted fact, too, that pauper corpse
are often despoiled of their hair to NEE
this same demand of an increasing
commerce. Those, then, who spor
other than their own natural locks cal
never be sure whether these are red
olent of the sepulcher, the gutter, o
the servant girls comb.

A Mammoth Apiary.

Comprehending the fact that four
was composed of an amber-colored or
pale yellow grade, rank in taste and
far inferior in quality to the demand,
Mr.. G. o. Perrine, the veteran honey
merchant of Chicago, resolved to ex-
pertinent upon new plan, in order to
secure the desideratum with the foreign
honey market-the pure white article.
Stationary colonies of bees would pro-
duce one crop of the article, and then,
the necessary food failing, would fill
their combs with the yellow liquid. Or
ders for whole car loads of the first
grade were untitled and, realizing one
fact strongly, Mr.. Perrine, with Fred
erick Grabbe, Esq, formerly editor of
the american Bee Journal, and one of
the most proficient apiculturists in the
country, devised scheme to produce
consecutive crops of white honey and
uniform forage for the bees. The fact
being that the bees required one un-
changed grade of food, the plan was to
keep them in the vicinity of this forage
while it lasted, and as il was necessary,
in order to effect this, to follow the
march of the season from the remote
south temperate to the north temperate
zones, equalized stages of progress
keeping pace with advancing vegeta-
ton were requisite. Selecting the month
of March, below New Orleans, on the
Mississippi, as the southern, and St.
Louis as the northern limit of travel,
Mr.. Perrine and his assistant set 90
work in November, 1876, upon their
new scheme. Six hundred hives, hav-
ing an average membership of 10000
bees each-being 24,000,0 900 Of bees in
all-were secured, and two barges,
about 25xl25 feet were purchased, five
tiers of hives being built on the two
boats. A steamer was employed TO
haul them up the stream, running only

To Make a Hole in Glass.

NeD Remedies describes the following
easy method of making hole in plate
glass: Make a circle of clay or cement
rather larger than the intended hole;
pour some kerosene into the cell thus
made, ignite it, place the plate upon a
moderately hard support, and with a
stick rather smaller than the hole re-
quired, and hammer, strike a rather
smart blow. This will leave a rough
edged hole, which may be smoothed
with file. Cold water is said to an
swer even better than blow.

THE GAZETTE FOR 1879.

THE BALTIMORE GAZETTE is daily news
paper which appeals to the public solely on
its merits as a journal of the -ay. 1t is a
compendium of news at home and abroad,
each event being written, prepared and edit
ed according to its relative importance. Not
a line appears in THE GAZETTE which is not
useful or instructive.s II essays to give the
news III nutshell and at price in keeping
with the econ omical demands of the times
THE GAZETTE has opinions and it expresses
them daily in terSe and pointed English. 1t
is thoroughly Democratic in its teachings
and tendencies, but independent of all cor
rupt rings, cliques or factiouS Oligarchies
THE GAZETTE believes that the principles o.
the Democratic party should prevail. To that
end it will labor to place the Democrat par
ty in power and thereby bring about a much
needed change in the administration of the
Government. In Municipal, State, and Ma
nonal po1ticts THE GAZETTE will lend its
aid TO the representatives Bureaucratic prin-
eiples. g eat struggle for political mastery
Is coming on. In 1880 another battle for the
Presidency will be fought. The Importance of
such a newspaper as THE GAZETTE in educa-
ting, organizing and preparing the people for
this contest cannot be ever-estiTnated The
News Editorial and Local features of THE
GAZETTE will be thoroughly maintained and
improved during the year. The department
OF Foreign Correspondence has attained a
standard unequaed in Baltimore journalism,
ana as whole there is no daily Journal in
the country which contains SO many popular
