It's very singular how little certain great rail-
way operator. know about their railroads. The
public has had a strong suspicion for weeks
that a war of rates being prosecuted
with intense heat at some important
Western cities, but the managers and
directors and chief shareholders of many of the
main lines, when asked day after day. have. with
great solemnity and persistence, denied that they
knew of any cutting of rates. In this extraordi-
nary state of things advise these interested par
ties to step to newsstand and purchase Ciacia-
natl Gazette, Commercial Enquirer, or LoutsriNe
Courier-Journal, and thence learn what their rail
roads are dong. In TkJ Coarip-JOGndt. for ex-

VIII the Valley of the Red River of the
North be the great wheat-feld Of the future 7
A correspondent answers this question by
showing that the wheat raised in that valley
this year commands the highest price of all
raised on our soil, that the increase in pOpu-
Iation has been so rapid that the whole valley
along the line of the railroad is already almost
a continuous wheat-feld, and that beyond it
lie vast regions whose soil and climate are
believed to be even better adapted to the cul-
tiyation Of grain. The progress of this section
ia most gratifying. This year more than 5000
farms. counting 100 acres 10 each person, have
been taken along the line of the Northern
Pacific Railroad last year nearly as many
were taken, and next year the number will
doubtless DO greater.

Effects Of Breathing Foul Air.

The air we breathe, which great
English physician calls gaseous
food, may become impure to the de-
gree of being indigestible to our
lungs and utterly unfit for the per-
Torrance OF functions which are
quite as important as those of our
solid and fluid victuals. Dull head
aches. nausea, loss of appetite and
the sense of smell, and the sadness
produced by the unsatisfied hunger
after oxygen. are only Incidental
and secondary evils; the great prln-
ciple curse of the troglodyte habit
is its influence on the respiratory
organs. In 1853, when Hanover
and other parts of Northern Ger
many were visited by very malig-
nant kind of smallpox, the great
anatomist Langenbeck tried to dis
cover 1.-THE popularity of organic

terry of smallpox has eluded my

weather, but are nearly exclusively

cies inherited from both parents, l
say quite exclusively produced by
the breathing OF foul air. The
lungs of all persons, minors includ-'
ed, who had worked for some years
in close workshops and dusty facto-
ries, showed the germs of the fatal
disease, while confirmed inebriates,

wintering Bees.
BY G. W. Dickinson in Michigan Farmer.


By G. W. Dickinson in Michigan Farmer.
Having had over quarter of a
century of experience in the care of
bees, and not having been out of
honey for over thirty years, ! will
give to the readers of your paper
my manner for wintering bees.
Place the hives on a covered plat
form. near together, about two feet
from the ground. In a dry place;
then bore fine holes in the top of
the hives, for ventilation (five-eight
bitt is about the size. Then place
boxes two thirds filed with dry
straw to absorb the moisture from
the bees and prevent freezing. Pack
dry straw around the hives, to keep
as even temperature as possible.
Give plenty of air at the entrance of
the hives, but guard against mice.
Place a board, edge raised, in front
of the entrance, to prevent the snow
from drifting in; examine often,
and keep the passage clear from
snow, ice, and dead bees, to pre-
vent smothering. Mild days in
winter, if the bees incline to move,
raise the hive little, and remove
all dead bees and dirt from the bot
tom board, and if it is dry y-ur
bees are all right If plenty of honey.

A House of Our Own.

Next to being married to the
right person, there is nothing so i'm
portant in ones life as to live under
ones own roof There is some
thing more than poetical charm in
the expression of a wife writing to
friend who said: 1--WE have our
coy house; it is thrice dear to us
because it is our own. We have
bought it With the savings of our
earnings. Many were the soda
fountains, the confectionery saloons
and the neeessaries OF the market
we had to pass; many a time my
noble husband had to deny himself
the comfort of tobacco, the refresh
ing draUght of beer, wore his old
clothes aad even patched up boots;
and l, oh. me, made my old bonnet
do, wore the plainest clothes, did
the plat, est cooking. Saving was
the order Of the house, and to have
a home of our own had been our
united aim. Now we have one.
There is no landlord troubling us
with raising the rent, and exacting
this or that. No fear is harbored
in our bosom that in sickness or old
age we will be thrown out OF house
and home, and the money which
otherwise would have gone to pay
rent is sufficient to keep US COM
Portable in the winter ia, OF life. .

THE HILLS, Jan. L. rs.

Again Estelle Vehse has kindly
contrib uted to the Ladies Column
and we thank her for her thought
fulness. We would be glad if 9th
er ladies would do so. 1t would add
greatly to the interest of the paper
if they would contribute something,
now and then, and in this way they
could exchange We've, ideas and
useful information for the benefit
of each other. The Detroit Free
Press set apart a portion of its col
umns for the "Household" to be
filled entirely by such articles as the
ladies would write and feel inter
ested in; and so rapidly has it in-
creased in interest, that a supple
ment has been added to the paper
which is entirely filled with these
contributions. 1t contains receipts
for cooking, directions about fancy
work, treatment of the sick, etc,
and If lady wishes for informa
ton of any kind, she simply asks
tor it, and some one kindly gives it.
Thus communication among ladies
from all parts of the country is car
ried on through this paper and a
number of items of interest gained.
Now why may not we have some
thing of the kind in the CITIZEN? 1t
has many warm friends among the
ladies, and ever seeks their interest
and pleasure.

Hawthorn on Needlework.

Hawthorn tells us there is some
thing pleasant, and of soft, winning
effect in this popularity of needle
work, distinguishing women from
men. Our own sex is incapable OF
any such by-play, aside from the
main business of life; hut women
have always some little handiworb
ready to fill the tiny gaps of every
vacant moment. A queen, no doubt
sometimes plies the needle; the wo
man poet can use it as adroitly as
her pen, sending the instrument
cleaning along the hem Of ker-
chief, or to darn causal fray III
her dress.
The slender thread Of silk or
cotton keeps chem united with the
small, familiar interests Of life, and
carry off what would otherwise be a
dangerous accumulation of morbid
sensibility. A vast deal Of huma
sympathy runs along this electric
line, stretching from the throne to
the wicker chair of the humblest
seamstress, and it is token OF
healthy characteristics when women
of high accomplishments love to
sew.
When the work falls in woman' 5
lap. and the needle involuntarily
ceases to fly, it is sign Of trouble
quite as Trustworthy as the thfob OF
the heart itself.

Aged One Hundred and Three


The Media Penn. American of
the 26th inst says: Mrs. Fanny
Forty, of West Hempacld, Lancas
ter, celebrated, on Saturday, her
one hundred and third birthday an
niversary. She was born Nov. II,
1774, near Columbia, where she
still resides. Her only surviving
sister, now eighty six years old, re-
sides in Ohio. Mrs. Forry's maid
en- name was Seltz, her relatives of
that name being still an extensive
family in the neighborSood. She
has been the mother of seven chill
dren, of whom two are still living;
of her 36 grandchildren, 81 are liv
ing and IL dead; of 149 great grand
children, 123 are living and 20 dead,
and of 16 great-great-grandchildren
IA are living and two dead, her lin
cal descendants aggregating 21O.
Mrs. Forty has never been further
from home than Lancaster, and was
never on the cars IN her life, though
numerous railroads run within a
short distance of her residence. In
personal appearance Mrs. Forty is
short Of statue, and weighs 81
pounds; she moves around the
house, and even walks to and about
the garden without assistance from
any one. She converses readily
and fuently in German, and de
lights to indulge in "reminiscences
of her youth. She recollects clearly
having seen Washington and part
of his army pass a school-house
where she went to school when
quite a little girl. She is a con-
sistent member of the Mennonite
Church, having been joined to that
faith when about II years Old"
