Things Told at Bee Keepers Conventions

With other topics discussed at the
Wisconsin bee keepers meeting was the
one of foul brood. It was moved that 8
state inspector of foul brood be appoint
ed. The opinion was expressed by one
member that there may be foul brood
without odor, but that when the odor
does become very perceptible the colony
ought to be destroyed, as there is then
no cure. He thought that this disease
is carried in the honey that robber bees
take to their hives and not by queens, as
some have supposed.
Henry Segelken told the New York
bee keepers at their convention that two
grades of white honey are sufficient for
the New York market-viz., the fancy
white and the fair white. Combs mixed
with dark or buckwheat honey should
not be graded us white, even in the sec
ond grade white, but ought to be rated
by itself. He said that straight buck
wheat honey finds quicker sale than
does mixed honey.

Points in Strawberry Culture.

IT is assumed that every farmer has a
strawberry bed for the production of
berries for home consumption. The fol-
lowing hints, therefore, given by Wis
consin farmer at an agricultural conven-
ton will be of interest:
Plants should be selected from previ-
GUS years growth on which no fruit was
produced. Plants should be prepared
for setting by trimming off old leaves
and runners, roots Strengthened out and
cut back to four or five inches in length.
The roots should never be dry or ex-
posed to the sun and wind, and should
be set out as soon as possible. Care
must be taken to have roots well spread
the earth firm around them and just
even with crown of plant, neither too
deep nor too shallow. If the season is
dry cultivate or rake over the ground at
once, and. wet Or dry, every week during
the season. Weeds must not be allowed
to grow. Frequent cultivation keeps
the ground moist and mellow. Permit
no fruit to grow first season; pick off all
buds and blossoms. First runners should
be cut off; later ones allowed to grow
and trained to form matted row, with
clean paths between.
All plants are either staminate or pis-
tilate (nale or female), and pistilate va
rieties should have staminate planted
with them about every third row. Many
fail to raise good crops because they do
not understand this law. Strawberry
beds should be renewed every two or
three years. To do this in our garden
we will set only two-thirds Of the bed
this year and plant the balance to pota-
toes. Next year the potato ground will
be set to Strawberries with plants from
your own grounds. After second year
pillow up one or two rows Of Oldest plants
every year and plant to potatoes, follow
ing with new vines, thus always having
a part new setting, part bearing first
year and part bearing two years, and
a continuous renewal Of healthy plants.

DEAD LETTERS.
Missives That Failed to Reach Their Desti.
nation During the Last Fiscal Year.

Missives That Failed to Reach Their Deeti-
nation During the Last Fiscal Year.
The annual report Of d. p. Leibhardt the
| superintendent Of the dead letter Office. dis
closes some interesting facts. There were some
28,0 600 letters received that had no superscrip-
ton whatever. Among these were frequently
found the letters of business men, of which a
large proportion contained enclosures of money
drafts, checks and other valuable commercial
papers.
1t is found that the proportion of people
careless in this respect has increased some
10 per cent during the past year. The report
states that ''in former years there we're annu-
ally received in the dead letter Office something
like IL 900 letters containing lottery tckets-a
monthly average of nearly 1000. The number
now received since the provisions Of the new
lottery law went into practical operation has
fallen to an average of less than 40 per month,
the entire receipts for the first quarter of the
current fiscal year amounting to only 80.
LAS the different classes of mail matter re-
ceived in the dead letter Office may be taken
a very fair index of the general character of
all matter sent through the mails, this marked
reduction is significant as indicating the salu-
tary effect of the law referred to-"
The plan now in vogue in many Of the post
offices of having directory which is kept up
by the letter carriers is commended. In the
case of one post Office a directory in this way
was secured of Is, 900, whereas the latest pub
lished directory of that place contained the
names of only 1000 persons.

A YOUNG LADY's NERVE.


How She Got Rid of q Man in Her Room.
Miss Bessie Mills, young lady who resides
at No. 1905 18th street, appeared as tine prose-
cutting witness in HOUSEKEEPING case tried in
the Police Court today and Judge Miller COM
plimented her for the wonderful nerve she ex-
hibited at the time the offense committed.
The affair happened Friday night and the next
day Policemen Foley and Dorsey of the eighth
precinct arrested a young man whose name
was given as Richard Nancy. He lives only
two or three squares from where Miss Mills re-
sides. Lawyer Foster was the prisoners legal
adviser, while Mr.. Mullowney represented the
prosecution.
The young lady's appearance on the witness
stand evidenced the GOODNESS and presence of
mind which she exhibited Friday night when
she awoke and discovered a stranger in her
room. There was not man in the house that
night The young lady had been left in the
house with an invalid aunt and a colored girl
According TO her statement she was awakened
by feeling something heavy on the foot of her
bed. The gas lighted and she saw the
back of a man. Her brother had gone away to
remain over night but she thought he had re-
turned and, in expressing surprise at his pres
ence, she exclaimed, s'Hellor' The man also
said" Hello'an then she discovered that he was
not her brother.
oh" she exclaimed, II thought You were
my brother"
She did not get excited and faint. but she
asked the intruder. in a polite manner, if he
would not leave and he replied in tho affirma-
tive.
''Shake hands and I'll CO." he said and the
lady reached out her hand. He shook her
hands as though they were really good friends
and then the man started out, but when he
reached the foot of the bed he hesitated. and
at his request she again shook hands with him
and he lett the house quietly after she had as
sured him that she would not make an outcry.
1t was discovered that the man had entered
the house by climbing through the dining
room window. A search was made, but moth
ing was missed.
Saturday morning the facts were reported to
the police and that night the prisoner was ar
rested and locked up at the eighth precinct
station.
Miss Mills identified him the man when
Judge Miller questioned her. She said she sup
posed he was in her room at least ten minutes,
and the judge told her that it was certainly
diplomacy to have a scoundrel in her room that
hour of the night and get rid of him SO easy.
Most ladies would have tainted" remarked
Lawyer Foster.
Judge Miller held the prisoner for the grand
jury and fixed bail at IS. 900.
Counsel said he would like to be heard on the
question of bail. but the judge said he would
not reduce ii. as he intended to have something
that would guarantee his presence mere for
trial.

morrow there will be another holiday opening
but this time instead of in little ffteen-foot
front building, with two clerks, the opening
will take place in the large establishment a.
1907 and 1909 F street. and an army of clerks
will be prepared to attend the customers. The
number and beauty of the holiday display on
the three floors and wide galleries of the big
establishment will be something bewildering
to the average mortal. On the lower floor
are enough toys to fill out the stock of several
Santa Claus. and toys at that Of all kinds and Of
all descriptions. There are dolls and steam en-
gines and mechanical toys and wagons, and in
fact everything a child's heart could desire.
Upstairs are the leather goods, an astonishing
display of clocks and everything in the wayio

feature of the china ware is the display "
pretty little attractive single pieces. which are
massed conveniently together. Upstairs there
