journal HypocrisJ.

This piece of canting hypocrisy is
| from the E0exSng JoarnG1:-
The next Grand Jury that meets in this county
will have before it a very large number of retail
liquor dealers, who have been complained of,
and arrested for selling liquor Illegally. The
majority of these cases are for selling liquor on
Sundays. There must be already nearly, or
quite, a hundred offenders, who have given bail
under the charge, and the cases will be, or
| should be, considered by the Grand Jury at the
next meeting. What will be the result of all
these complaints, will depend on the character
and makeup of that Grand Jury. In any case,
where the evidence of illegal selling is suf-
ficient, the Grand Jury should indict and throw
the responsibility of convicting the guilty. or of
allowing them to escape punishment and defy
the law. on the prosecuting officers, the petty
juries and the court. We shall see next fall
whether the machinery of justice in this county
is still in the grip of the liquor saloon, as it has
been to such a notorious extent hitherto.
Yes the machinery of justice is to a
large extent in the grip of the saloon.
The Grand Jury end of it, as you well
| know, is in the hands OF the Hudson
County Ring, which, as you well
know, Major Pangborn, is largely a
Rum Ring. You helped to bring
about this state of things when you
sold out your party two years ago,
and you are doing your best to keep
it so by the corrupt and venal aid
which you are every day giving to
that ring in your dishonest paper.
For shame, Major. If you cannot
do right, at least spare the people
such displays of mock virtue. They
are very ~unbecoming.

Handkerchiefs.

There was recently exhibited in
Paris, preparatory to sale by auction,
a collection of pocket handkerchiefs
which had occupied it's owner many
years in the getting together.
Handkerchiefs appear at the first
glance to be singular and improbable
objects for a collectors fancy, but the
collection exhibited at Paris seemed
to prove that they could be made to
tell an interesting story, illustrating
the development of in mod
ern society.
The most ancient handkerchief in
this collection was merely a bit of silk
tissue, used many centuries ago by
priests at the altar. For centuries, in
deed, priests were the only persons in
the European world VINO used hand
kerchiefs at all, and they used them
only at the altar, and there only for
the sake of propriety.
The handkerchief Of the altar was
called a facial. 1t was carried by the
priest in his girdle, and left with the
vestments of worship when the SER
vice was done.
Presently the grand ladies of the
court began to provide themselves
with similar squares of silk. The
next step was to embroider the edge
of these squares. And soon their
convenience recommended them SO
highly that gentlemen connected
with the various European courts in
some measure adopted their use.-

is PHELPS PLAYING 'POssUM?
from the Paterson quardian.

Ftona the Paterson Guardian.
The report is revived that William
Walter Phelps will be the Republi-
can candidate for Congress in this
district next fall. Eight years ago
he resigned the Austrian mission and
entered the field just before the
primary elections, snatching the
nomination from John Hill, who sup
posed that he had a sure thing. MI.
Phelps pursued that course then in
accordance with the wishes of Mr..
Blaine, who was looking forward to
the Presidential nomination in 1884
and meanwhile wanted all the relia-
BILE support in Congress that he could
command. The situation is very
similar now, and it is quite possible
that Mr.. Phelps may bowl out
Charles d. Beckwith to please his old
friend, who never needed his services
more. At all events. Mr.. Beckwith's
friends will feel uneasy until the nom
ination is made.

Facts Abou Flags.


1. To strike the flag is to lower
the national colors in token of sub
mission. 2. Flags are used as the
symbol of rank and command, the
officers using them being called flag
officers. Such flags are square, to
distinguish them from other banners.
8. The flag of truce is q white flag,
displayed to an enemy to indicate q
desire for a parley or consultation. a.
The white flag is a sign of peace.
After a battle parties from both sides
often go out to the field to rescue the
wounded or bury the dead under the
protection of a white flag. 8. The
red flag is a sign of defiance, and is
often used by revolutionists. In our
service it is amark of danger, and shows
a vessel to be receiving or d~ischarging
her powder. 6. The black flag is a
sign of piracy. z. The yellow flag
shows a vessel to be in quarantine, or
is the sign of a contagious disease. 8.
A flag at half mast means mourning.
Fishing and other vessels return with
a flag at half mast to the
loss or death of some of them. 8.
Dipping the flag is lowering it slight
ly and then hosting it again to salute
a vessel or fort. 10. If the President
of the United States goes afoat the
American flag is carried in the bows
of his barge or hoisted at the main of
the vessel on board which he is.

WINTER CARE OF BFEs.

There is but little opportunity IN win
ter to give bees attention, and the pro-
per time to put them in shape is during
the autumn months. Feeding should all
be done before cold weather sets in, and
they should be settled in their winter
quarters before real winter is at hand.
1t often occurs that winter overtakes us
with colonies that lack food. In such
cases we cannot possibly use syrup for
food, as the winter is too cold for the
bees to seal it over, and unsealed stores
will not serve properly for winter. The
moisture which always arises from the
bees III cold weather enters the unsealed
honey and dilutes it, making it very un-
wholesome. Our only resort, therefore,
for feeding in cold weather is to make
candy and use it. This is a very good
and healthful food if properly made and
administered. 1t is made from granua-
ted sugar by melting it, adding little
water-no more than will thoroughly
melt the sugar-when it Is boiled few
minutes and poured out into cakes or
states of three or four pounds each.
When cool this becomes very hard, al
most like rock candy. In feeding this i
is placed on frames just over the cluster
of bees where they can have access TO it
at all times. When in this position it
receives the heat arising from the bees
and they remain on it all the time. 1t
IS so hard that it will last them long
while. This candy may be given bees at
intervals during winter, and colonies
may be brought through in good shape
that would have otherwise perished
This, or any other work that is necessary
to do with bees in winter, should be
done on warm days. 1t will not do to
modest them on cold day, but it should
always be done on days when the bees
are flying Agricutmist.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1890-01-22
SETTING TREES.

The principal objection to setting out
trees in the fall is the damage that is
often done through the winter by thaw-
ing and freezing. IT, however, the work
is to be done, care must be taken to have
the soil well prepared Plow well, and
harrow until in a good ti!th. In digging
or preparing the places for the trees, be
sure there is plenty of room for the roots,
so that they can be spread out evenly and
naturally.
The soil should be well loosened up in
the bottom. II manure is to be applied
around the trees, care should be taken to
incorporate thoroughly with the soil. 1t
Is not good plan, where it can be
avoided, to have manure TO come into
direct contact with the roots of the trees,
unless it be compost. Keep the roots
moist and see that they are not, Or have
not been, injured by frost. Spread them
out evenly and fiji in with dirt After
the roots are well covered, tramp down
well 50 that the soil will come in close
contact with the roots Fill mp well
around the stem Of the trees.
A good plan is TO make mound
around the tree, rs this will not only aid
to protect from injury by thawing and
freezing, but be a help in preventing
mice from doing injury.
Good drainage must in all cases be fur
nished. Never allow water TO stand
around the roots of any kind of fruit
plants. The surest plan of avoiding this
is to provide good drainage in the fall.
After the ground freezes, good mulch
should be put around each tree. Old
straw, bagasse, or corn fodder, are all
good materials. As this is applied tC
keep the soil at as even a temperature as
possible, rather than as a protection, il
will be best not to apply too carly, Wait
until the ground freezes hard, and then
apply.
Protection must also be given against
rabbits, and this should be applied early
generally when the trees are set out
in order TO lessen the risk
A plat should always be made Of the
orchard in setting out the trees, so thai
in case the labels should get lost, ther,
will be no danger of the names of TN
varieties being entirely lost. il thu
