given the party for its impOlitic action
in depriving the south of the benefits it
would have derived from the passage of

l purchased in this city package Of Prof.
HorsfOrd's Self Raising Bread Preparation
and submitted it to a chemical examination,
and find that the same is composed of pure
and nOn-poisonous chemicals.
The idea OF Prof. Horsford was indeed a
grand one in supplanting the inaigestible tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value of
bread, and the bone-producing elements of
nature.
1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered to the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.

the late celebrated chemist, Prof. Baron V.
Liebig, to this preparation in saying; 81 con-

The encouragement for republicans to
hope that the "day will dawn when
Bexar county can place straight re-
publican ticket in the field" comes with
a very poor grace from the pen OF the
man who is solely responsible for there
being no straight republican ticket in
the field this fall. Such words from such
man are merely adding insult to in
jury. Having gagged the party it is at
least ungenerous to tell them he hopes
the time will come when they can

A W0m0n'S Scheme.

The Washington Capital heard a
good story of two ladies who it il said
once lived in Chicago and who were
social rivals. They were on visiting
terms, but devoted much of their time
to considering how they could surpass
each other in the richness and elabora-
ton of their houses and raiment. In
the progress of this pleasing rivalry
Mrs. A. gave a grand reception, at
which she appeared in new gown of
very fine and wonderful texture, which
quite surpassed anything that had ever
been made into dress for q Chicago
lady in the whole history of that re-
markable town.
Everybody saw the incompatible
dress and marveled greatly thereat-
that is, everybody except the one un-
conquerable rival, Mrs. B., who gave a
reception at her own house a fortnight
later, to which the same people were
invited who had attended the reception
of Mrs. A. The establishment of the
latter may be imagined when, on en-
tering Mrs. B. s drawing room. she be-
held all the upholstered furniture in
the room covered with precisely the
same material as that of the dress with
which she had startled her friends two
weeks before. In the Ian yuage of the
street, Mrs. B. ''got away with her.

Where's Wonderful Winning.

It will be remembered that few days
ago we published the fact that Aug
Wiberg, 1431 South Tenth street, this
city, held one-ffth of ticket 1000,
which drew the capital prize of $780,
600, in the drawing of The louisiana
State Lottery, which took place at
New Orleans, Tuesday, March 10th;
that, through Herman Kountze, prcsi-
dent of the First National Bank OF
Omaha. he sent the ticket by the
United States express to the New Or
leans National Bank, and through the
latter had received a draft on New
York for thirty thousand dollars. His
draft was made on the Hanover Nj.
tional Bank and was sent to Kountze
Bros, New York city, for collection.
We wero informed yesterday at the
First National Bank that the sum OF
thirty thousand dollars was received
at that bank on Thursday from New
York, and that it now stands to the
credit of Mr.. Wibcrg, whom we hearth

He Was Her Husband

"Uncle Stead,' says the Rockland
Courier-Gazette is what they called
a shrewd old gentleman who used to
live in Winthrope, little way out of
village, up the side of the pond near
Readtield. One of his fellow citizens
was man named Lovejoy. Uncle
Stead met Lovejoy in the village one
day, and said to him: Lovejoy,
there's a poor woman lives
an lives out on the edge of the town
that needs some provisions. I'm will
ing to supply her, but I've sold my
horse and have no means of getting
the stuff to her. Now III buy her a
barrel of flour and some other supplies
if you'll carry them out to her with
your team
Loyejoy said certainly, he'd be very
glad to do it. Accordingly, Uncle
Stead bought barrel of flour, a han,
a bucket of sugar, &c.. and telling
Lovejoy where the woman lived, sent
him of on the errand of charity with
the good things in his pung'
Lovcjoy easily found the house where
the woman lived. He unloaded the
goods. putting like a grampus as he
rolled the barrel of flour in, and said
to the woman; "Mr. Steadman sent
you the provisions. He's mighty
kind-hearted man to scndyou all these
things"
''Well don't know why he shouldn' 7
send them to me!'' exclaimed the wo-
man in surprised accents. "He' my
! husband!'

Farm Hints For May.

Manure makes very fast this
month. All sorts of rubbish rakcd aud
scraped from feeding yards. chip dirt,
bark, ETC., half decayed leaves from
fence corners, and sod trimmings from
road-ways and walks, or from around
the fruit trees, composted with fresh
manure will quickly heat, and the en-
tire mass, after once or twice working
over, will be admirable for late crops
of corn, coru-foddcr and millett, or for
top dressing moving land as soon as
the grass is off. May is the month in
which tillage of the surface by the har-
row aud cultivator. tells more to the
advantage of the soil and crops than at
any other. Weed seeds start quickly,
and crop after crop may be killed,
while the moisture of the soil and the
action of fermenting manures and the
heat of the sun, all contribute to those
changes in the soil which augment the
supply of plant food, and all these are
greatly aided by stirring. mcllowing
and comminutiDg of the surface of the
ground.-Americas Agriculturist for
May.

Bee Notes For Nav.

This month is really the commence
ment of the Bookkeeping year in north.
ern localities. We can not have our
bees we'll established earlier, and know
how many stocks will be in good con-
dition for the seasons operations. The
inexperienced purchase bees in the fall,
or too early in the spring. which is to
the advantage of the seller, but seldom
so to the buyer. I would advise the b.
ginner never to purchase bees before
May, and if the spring is cold and
backward, it would be preferable to
wait until June. or until the weather is
we'll settled and warm, rule which ap-
plies to all latitudes. The cold spring
months is the critical time for even the
most experienced bee-keepers. would
also suggest to beginners, that as Il rule
1t IS better to start in Bookkeeping the
year directly following a season which
has been poor for bees, than after one

the success of the experienced for one
or two consecutive years, they are in

apt to be the case, that every third sea-
