Dogs Banished to the Baggage Car

Waterbury Comm American. 80
Two ladies from this city, while in
New York the other day, purchased a
terra Gotta pug for an ornament. On
coming home they placed the clayey
image upon the seat between them.
Along comes the conductor for tickets.
He begs the ladies' pardon but politely
informs them that the company's rules
positively exclude all dogs from passen-
ger coaches. eve will keep the
little fellow here on the seat, and I
assure you that he will do no HARM
replied one of the ladies. "But Unjust
not deviate from the rules" said the
Conductor, sand shall be obliged to
take your dog to the baggage car
Every well, then, If you must, " sighed
the ladies, and the conductor reached
over and carefully lifted the craven
image, realized the sell, felt foolish, and
heard the laughter Of score of passen-
gers ringing in his ears.

to feed, it is quite nuisance as well as
an expense to be obliged to have a
feeder for each hive, and, after you are
through with them, to store them away
for another season. Now all this is
true, and | like the plan very much in
some respects; but in other respects l
do not.
For instance. We now have COM
paratiyely new hand in charge of our
bees, forour boys have gone to college,
and Ishould- direct him to feed ~our
bees for winter in this way, | hardly
think could instruct him in such man
ner that we should not have a perfect
uproar of robbing before he was half
through. The principal obstacle with
us would be to get the bees off the
combs before the combs can be filled
with syrup. 1t is true we might take
other combs; but even then we shall
haye to get as many out of the hives as
we put in, and to do this would incite
robbing and prove quite task. Our
bees are mostly on the combs where we
wish them, and the combs are arranged
as we wish them, and for me it is least
trouble to feed them syrup in feeder
until the combs are filled and bridged,
just as they will remain till spring.
In regard to feeders, the bread-pan
feeder is perhaps the cheapest and
simplest, were it not that bees are apt
to get drowned in them, unless special
care is taken; and they also work
slowly in cool weather. The paper
box feeder is more trouble but the bees
will empty them, even during cool
weather, for they can be inverted right
over the cluster, and the space around
them fixed warm with a mat and
cushion. The Good candy, made into
little biscuits. and laid right over the
cluster, works nicely, and the bees take
it all up very quickly. The only OBJ
lection is the trouble of kneading the
pulverized sugar and honey up so as to
make the biscuits, and the extra ex-
pense of the powdered sugar over the
granulated.
/ rather think we shall do what
feeding we are obliged to do with a
pepper box feeder this way, and we
are going to give the Good candy a
fair trial. Perhaps might add, that
the plan Of filling combs was given a
great many years ago by Mr.. Quinby,
but cannot learn that it has ever been
used very generally.

The Debt Reduction.
N. Y. Times.

N. Y. Times.
In the first three months of the cur
rent fiscal year, the reduction Of the
national debt has amounted to nearly
$50, 900, 900, and the secretary Of the
treasury has called for bonds to the
amount Of $57, 100000, which he has
undertaken to redeem. The reduction
for september was greater than the
reduction made in either July or
August, because only few thousand
dollars were required for pension pay
ments in September, while the pension
expenses of the first two months of the
fiscal years were $26,OO0,00O. State.
ments recently made by the commiss-
ioner of pensions indicate, however,
that he has again overestimated the
cost of the operations of his bureau,
and that his demands upon the treas
ury in the coming nine months will
not seriously disturb estimates already
made by the secretary.

Clean Money.

The money made by farming is the
cIeanest, best money in the world. 1t
is made in accordance with Gods first
law-under honest and genial infu-
ences-away from the faint of trade or
the heat of speculation. 1t fills the
pocket of the farmer at expense of no
other man. His gain is no mans loss /;
but the more he makes the better for
the world at large. Prosperous far
mers make prosperous people. What
ever benefits our agriculture benefits
the world.

IT'S sEsoUI.uENTENN1AL.
The Birthday of Americas Oldest Ma
sonic Body Successfully Celebrated

Boston Globe, I'd.
One of the most noteworthy events
which has ever occurred in this city in
connection with the order of Masons
took place last evening in Masonic
Temple at the corner of Boylston and
fremont streets. The st. Johns lodge
TIE oldest in the country held the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its
organization, and celebrated the occa.
sion on an elaborate scale. Early in
the evening the guests began to arrive,
and long before the time announced for
the beginning of the festivities very
large gathering had assembled. The
building was thrown open throughout
for inspection, and all awaited them
selves of the opportunity to examine
this almost perfect Masonic building.
AS the guests arrived they were cor
daily welcomed, and after being each
presented with beautiful souvenir
programme of the anniversary were
escorted by the ushers to the large en-.
tertainment hall. The building
which is used by twelve lodges, be-
sides the various chapters, councils and
commanderies-was greatly admired
by all, especially the ladies, who pict-
ured to themselves the scenes which
they supposed the walls had witnessed.
Everything which the lodges possess
and which could be of interest to those
present we're placed where all could
examine. In Egyptian Hall were
some particularly interesting relics of
the lodges early history. A Bible
printed in 1866 and presented to the
lodge in 1862 by Lord Alexandra
Colville was examined carefully by all.
There was case of four ladies, three
of which were presented respectively
by Thomas Oxnard, grand master of
North America in 1740; Hugh Nc
Daniel and Hon. John Rowe, grand
master in 1868. Six complete sets of
very old jewels were also to be seen,
which, together with the ladies, were
taken from the ruins of the old Masonic
Temple which was destroyed by fire
some years ago. Hanging at either
side Of the passage way leading into
Sutton Hall are the carved grapes
which were presented to the lodge
during the evening.

A boy, who is at home for college
vacation, took up boiled egg the other
morning at breakfast, and asked his
grandmother if she knew the scientific
way to get the insides out of it without
breaking the shell. She said she did
not. "Weli," said he, "you take the
spheroidal body in Your sinister hand
and, with convenient diminutiye
pointed instrument, held in the dexter
hand, puncture the apex; then, in the
same manner, make an orifice in the
base, place either extremity to your
labials, and endeavor to draw in your

contents of the egg are discharged into

Preparing Fields For Grass.

A writer in an Eastern paper speaks
Of preparing fields for grass as follows:
Every autumn there will be seen in
the agricultural papers an article con-
demning the practice of pasturing
moving lands in autumn, limiting that
farmers who do so do not know what
is for their interest. When / read
these articles / think they mean me
among many others. In preparing a
moving field it is advocated when fin
ished to leave the ground as smooth
as possible for the moving machine
to follow, which it does close to the
ground, and if fed by stock they will go
as low as the mower, and by putting
the machine on again is just as bad or
worse, for the stock leave something
behind. When prepared field for
grass, do it in way that will give
me some tall grass, and to hold it up
for some years. I set my knives in the
mower up some three or four inches
from the ground, leaving the stubble
the same height, which protects the
roots from the sun. 1 prefer to let my
stock cut my second crop, as they never
go below the stubble. always let my
stock feed my second crop if possible,
for l think it is worth a quarter more
fed green than dry. The stubble holds
the fine grass and makes warm bed
for the roots in winter. I think nv
way of treating grass land gives me a
quarter more hay in four years than
close cutting. 1 have followed this
course for fifty years, and would like
to see the farmer that has better sue.
cess than l have had. bai) 2 nJ
