A Washington special to the Reoub-
hcdn says officials OF the pest office de-
partment say they cannot afford to
reduce the rate on drop letters in free
delivering cities to one cent yet, but it
can be done in about three years. The
free delivery system requires special
force of men at great cost for the bene-
lit of the minority of the people, hence
1T VIII for time cost as much postage
for a drop letter rs for Il letter sent to
Boston is TO San Francisco. The free
delivery service year euded June 80,
cost 81, 623 ,262, and the receipts from
local postage in free delivery citiee
amounted to S3,Sl6,576.

Stretchy Religion.

and the woman explained to a
steamboat agent:
TITS a very stormy season, and
we expect to be seasick, and we'd

tain is a religious man."

We've got one very religious cap

"Oh yes. Keep right down the
streets until you see the boat"

Remedy for Hen Lice.

One OF the most pestilential vista
tions in the hen house is lice: abun-
dant at any time from May until
frost comes. They do not confine
their presence to their own quarters.
If iu the vicinity, they invade the
pig sty, the carriage house, the horse
and COW stable. The horse and his
rider are both likely to be covered
with this minute pest. They do not
trouble the farmers hen roost al
ways, for the hens as rule have the
freedom of the premises, roostin the
apple trees by night, and wallow in
unlimited dust by day, which effect
ually rasps off the vermin. But
MANY must confine their hens in
narrow quarters during the growing
season, if they keep them at all, and
these creatures come upon them by
stealth. Do you suggest fumigation
by tobacco, or by sulphur? What if
your hennery is complete in its ven
tilation, and without door =? 1t will
not hold smoke. Do you advise
whitewash and thorough cleansing
That is big job. Kerosene is now
in almost every mans house, and
this cheap agent will make you mas
ter ofthe situation. Saturate every
box, perch, and beam in toe estab-
lishment, and the job is done. Use
the lamp filler carefully, and much
trouble will be avoided.

An Extraordinary Battle.

A remarkable instance of the fe-
rocity of bees under certain condi-
tions has Just been afforded. A couple
of days since the Topsham Horticul-
tural and Cottage Garden Society
held It's annual exhibition at The
Retreat, near Exeter. One Of the
tents was occupied by the Devon and
Exeter Bee-keepers' Association and
among its exhibits was one which
excited a very great deal of interest.
This was q case containing several
thousand dead drones which had
lost their lives in a sanguinary bat
tie a couple of days previously. A
well known apia-ian was visiting a
friends house day or two previ-
ously and on coming to one of the
beehives it was found that there was
great uproar inside. Closer inspec-
ton showed the ground below the
hive TO be covered with several hun
dred dead drones and hos,s of them
were still being brought to the en-
trance and bundled out by the
workers, generally by being seized
behind the head and dragged along
to the exit where, as a kind of fare
well, a sting was given to them.
Examination of the slain revealed
the fact that they had been severely
handled. Many were headless,
Others had lost legs or wings or both
and all bore evidence ofrough usage.
That the bees were very much the
superior force was shown by the
fact that only about fifty Of them
had fallen in The fray, a remarkable
disproportion to the number slain
of the enemy. The battle had ragged
from about seven IN the morning 10
The same hour in The evening and
seemed then 20 end only with the
utter annihilation of the drones.

but most of the day the house is de-

in for their dinner after hours OF
dusty work in the fields. A huge
copper pot is brought out in the

with water. The girls lake of their

The well worn chopping block, where

her embroidered towels and brilliant

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity of silver
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
Of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily aprar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering soitens IT,
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of oz. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case OF same
weight of any other make viii give enough
tobreak the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.
