Introduction of the BOca Com.
paDy's New Beer.

The perfection of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production of the
"Pilsener Beer"-it is Of the most beauti-
full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as if it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying a glass, its ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste. 1t
ls delicate, with smart sma ack of hops and
malt, and leaves lingering flavor on the
tongue. One of its best qualities is its
iightness, causing no headache, even if
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to, if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and all orders
will be promptly executed by

The state Of Magnificent Distances.

The distance from Dallam county, in
the Texas Pan Handle, to Brownsville, at
the mouth of the Rio Grande, is 500
miles, but we can better realize how far
it is by saying that it is nearer from Dali
lam county, Texas, to st. Paul, MINI. !;
or to Bismarck, Dakota; or to Helena,
Montana; or to Yellowstone Park, in
in Wyoming, or to Salt Lake City, Utah,
than it is from Dallam county to Browns
will, Texas. It is also nearer from
Brownsville to Guatemala, in Central
America, than from Brownsville to Dali
lam county. Again, it is nearer from
Lipscomb county, Texas, to St. Louis,
than from the same county to Galveston.
And ever Chicago and Cincinnati are
nearer to Texas than Dallam county is
to Brownsville. 1t is farther from Tex
arkana to Ell Paso than from Texarkanato
West Virginia, Old Virginia, or North
Carolina. Suppose a gentleman should
start from Savannah, Ga, on the Attain
tic to look at a tract of land at Ell Paso.
After travelling three days and nights on
a passenger train he might arrive at
Orange, Texas. Of course when he put
his foot on Texas soil, he would begin to

Keeping Bees.

Keeping bees seems to be a remunera-
tive business for women, and can be
entered upon with very little outlay of
capital. For hive of bees is a kind of
merchandise that will increase rapidly
and continually, asking Of you only that
you give them room in proportion to
their numbers. These excellent little
foragers want but half a chance, and they
will feed themselves and you, and
your friends and neighbors, and
probably compel you to seek amarket for
their extra products. We do not know
much of practical bee keeping, but there
are numerous impressive books published
on the subject, any one of which will give
ample information on the subject. We
have observed a friend as he experiment.
ed at Bookkeeping for pastime. His bus
mess required his time and means, SO that
he felt that he had little of either to
spare; but he bought one swarm to start
with and morning and evening he gave this
the little attention it needed. In a few
weeks, however, he had a new family on
his hands demanding a home. The fates
were propitious, for he found that his
next door neighbor had three hives lying
in his barn that he was glad to sell for
next to nothing, he did not believe in
bees and never had since he invested a
hundred dollars in a colony of fancy
breed and attempted to conduct the bus
mess of Bookkeeping or a grand scale,
without a days experience. When these
were filled and there was still further
need of hives Mr.. Brown found a very
simple style that sold for little money,
and answered every purpose of the more
complicated and expensive ones. We
cannot remember now just how long since
this gentleman bought his first and only
hive of bees he ever did buy, but to-day
he has, instead of that one, seventeen
stands of bees that furnish honey enough
Tor his large family the year round, and a
considerable quantity beside, for which
he finds ready sale. Bookkeeping is light
work that may bescarrled ON in country,
.own or city, any place indeed where
flowers of any kind are accessible. And
IS we have said, the sum of money abso-
tutely necessary for the enterprise is so
small, that almost any one can command
it. Few persons wishing to keep bees
for profit would care to start on such a
small scale as the acquaintance men
TONED, but if you can get that much and
40 more, take courage and begin with a
single hive. Be sure that you apply
every dollar of the proceeds from the
business to charging it, and the result
will surprise you and your friends.

9 Without Earnestness."

Without earnestness there is nothing
to be done in life; yet even among the
people whom we call men OF culture, but
little earnestness is often to be found; in
labors and employments, in arts, nay,
ever in 'recreations, they plant them
selves, il / may say so, in IN attitude of
self-defense; they live, as they read D heap
OF newspapers. only to be done with
them. They wish to know and learn q
multitude or things, and not seldom ex-
actly those things with which they have
the least concern; and they never sec

PEARLs OF THOUGHT

Luck is first lieutenant in the COM
pany Of Captain Success.
We often do nor good by our sym
patty than by our labors.
A life spent worthily should be
measured by a nobler line-by deeds
not years.
LIZ is worth suffering the agony Of
despair for the sake of enjoying the
luxury of hope.
The most beautiful faces are those
that are never seen, but only dreamed
of, or sighed for.
A vigorous mind is as necessarily
accompanied with violent passions as
a great fire with great heat.
He never was so good as he should
be, that doth not strive to be better
than he is; he never will be better
than he is, that doth not fear to be
NOLoO tHtll lie lSs
There is more virtue in obscurity
than is commonly supposed; and per-
haps there have been nobler specimens
OF magnanimity in humble life than
even the page of history can boast.
Every man ought to aim at emf
hence. not by pulling others down, but
by raising himself, and enjoy the pleas
ure of his superiority whether imagi-
nary or real, without interrupting 9th
ers in the same felicity.
There appears to exist a greater de-
sire to live long than to live well.
Measure by mans desires, he cannot
live long enough; measu By his
good deeds, and he has not lived long
enough; measure by his evil deeds,
he has lived too long.

A Teras Cattle Queen.

A Galveston letter to the Chicago
Inter-OceaR says: There is a genuine
cattle queen in the person of Mrs.
Rogers, who lives between the King
ranch and Corpus Christi, about fifteen
miles from the latter place. Her first
husband was a cowman named Rabb.
Right here I should explain that a
decided distinction and difference
exists between a cowboy and "cow-
man." The former is IA hired mar
who rides after the herd; the latter is
his employer who owns the cattle.
Well, after Rabb from a small begin
ming and by good management and
thrift had accumulated a herd of 49,
| 600 cattle he died and left all to his
better half, who had been a helpmate
in every sense OF the word, and not
only understood the cattle business but
had managed it successfully during
her husbands long illness. Widow
Rabb was not only thrifty, but shewas
pious and belonged to the Methodist
persuasion. A young preacher by the
lame of Rogers came along under
whose ministration she grew in grace
and the result was a matrimonial one
although the odds in age were in favor
Of the parson by something like TWEEN
ty-three years. She had no children
and he had seven, but she took the
motherless BARNS under her wings and
the alliance has turned out in every
way successfully. Rogers had not
long been married to the widow and
her cattle when he acquired a bad case
of bronchitis and was compelled to give
up preaching. Such cases L fle-
quent. But the widow gave him
notice that she was competent to run
the ranch and has kept the cattle in
her own name. Rogers knowing no more
about them than any of the neighbors.
He took to politics when he found that
his services were not needed at the
ranch. and is now the Democratic
member Of the Legislature from
Nueces County.
Mrs. Rogers, although worth a
round million, lives in quite an humble
home and appears to have NJ ambition
further than to carry on the business
her husband left her and accumulate
money and cattle. She goes to Corpus
Christi every week or SO to sell stock
or purchase supplies, but has no taste
for dress or society. She is fifty years
old, but rides a horse like a cowboy,
and does not even own a carriage.
She never entertains anyone except the
few people who visit hor place on bust
ness. and lives in the plainest possible
manner.
