many cases at the present term Of the
United States court in Bernalilo county.
Do you "sahe," gentlemen? If not, wake
up and rub your eyes. The indictments,
no matter how defective, nevertheless
bring fees. These indictments were drawn
by Il Democratic U. S. attorney and the
present Republican U. s. attorney OF
course cannot make them stick, or even
bring them to trial on account Of serious
defects and errors in them. Now, if the
attorney general Of the United States can
find time for a few minutes and ior.et his
apparent admiration for Justice Long, for
a day, and look after the records OF the
Democratic judges and court officials in
New Mexico during the past four years, lie

acnuinc and Artificial Honey

Mr.. Worthingtop G. Smith, the emf
nent microscopist, finds that genuine
honey can be readily distinguished from
manufactured honey by the microscope.
The former has few or no sugar crystals
and abounds with pollen grains, while
the limitations have little else than these
crystals, with rarely trace of pollen
grains. The honeyed taste of the manu-
featured article, he thinks, may come
from honeycomb or bees wax being
mashed up with the article used in the
manufacture. Each class of plants has
its own specific form of pollen grain, and
Mr.. Smith says that any one conversant
with this branch of botany could tell
from what part of the world the honey
came, by studying the pollen grains it
might contain. The honey he had was
English honey, and it abounded with
grains of Ieguminose. especially beans
and clover, the English heath and even
ing primroses. In America, however,
bees freely visit Compassionate, how
ever, for honey, but for the pollen.
They are, indeed, among the most popu-
lar OF flowers with our pollen gatherers.
AS the bees make q separate task of
honey gathering from pollen gathering,
this may account for the rarity of the
pollen grains of this order in honey

Fraudulent schemes may appear successful in
the start, but 1t don't pay in the long run. A
remedy that has no real merit, will more than
eat up Its profit in advertising, for people learn
it is not as represented, and those who give it
one trial, will never give it another, therefore
its proprietors only hope is to catch fresh
suckers" by extraordinary lying advertise
ments. There is, however, one remedy that
speaks for ITSELF and its best advertisement is the
use of one bottle, for cure begins from the
very first dose. 1t is called p. B. b., or Botanic
Blood Balm, and can be obtained through any
enterprising druggist. 1t has cured more cases
Of contagious blood diseases, and with less
quantity of medicine than any other known
remedy. 1t is not Of Indian % origin, but tho

A Chess. PlaYing Sultan.

The present Sultan of Turkey is one
of the most enthusiastic chess amateurs
IN Europe. He will play the game for
hours without intermission, aud will not
allow any matter of state to interfere
with the problem in which at the time
he is engaged. His ministers often find
themselves unable to approach the
imperial presence for the reason that
the Sultan is deep in a game. They and
their statecraft have to wait until the
Sultan has checkmated his adversary or
decided upon the next move. Abdul
Hamid has his own court chess player, a
Hungarian, who receives a handsome
salary for letting the Sultan win few
games off him each day. 1t is said that
the present court Cheeseman's predecessor
was dismissed from office because he un-
generously insisted on protiting by his
superior skill, and checkmated his i'm
perial antagonist every time. The
Hungarian master therefore plays a very
poor game to the Sultan, and makes q
point of looking crestfallen at each de-
feat, whereat the the thirty fifth repre-
sentative of the House of Otham crows

little exercise each day in yard where
the sun can shine and the wind cannot
blow upon them may be beneficial to
them, but they are better off and can be
Kept much cheaper under cover than
they can when exposed to cold winds
ana storms. This is as true of Young
animals as of mich cows.
Crowd all the grain for the fattening
stock that they can be made to eat, and
Keep close watch to see whether they
aIe gaining flesh fast enough to pay for
1t or not. Many farmers kill their fat
cattle and swine just when they are
making the greatest number of pounds
OF meat for the bushel of grain, partly
because the gain does not show as
plainly after the animal is pretty we'll
fattcned, and partly because the amount
OF grain eaten grows larger as the animal
increases and the cooler weather comes
on. If such farmers could have scales
upon which they could weigh their ami
mails each week, they could easily ascer-
tain whether the pounds gained were
more than paying for the grain or not.
OF course other considerations may
make early Strengthening desirable, such
as the prospect Of the meat being lower
in price later in the season, when stock
is brought forward from the West, or if
the meat is for home use, dislike to
have it too fat. And low price for
tallow may make very fat beeve
sell comparatively lower than one mod
erately fat. OF these things the farmer
can judge for himself, but he must also
remember that poorly fattened OK will
shrink forty five to fifty per cent. from
the live weight, and a very fat one
thirty-fiv per cent. or less, SO that every
pound of gain made now is nearly so
many pounds of merchantable beef.
There are not many more pounds of offal
in hog that weighs 400 pounds when
very fat than there was in the same ami
