THR SURRENDER OF ARMS.
Everybody except Indians must admit that
the warlike tribes should not be in possession
Of the most improved varieties Of firearms, and
yet one Of the results of this alleged 'sur-
render" will be the retention of a very large
proportion Of the stock of long-range VIM
chester rides which these Brules have been ac-
cumulating for years past. Acting under what
every one supposes ore instructions from
Warrington, Gen. Miles announced that no
forcible disarming would take place, but that
each chief and head man would collect the
rifles belonging TO his band and bring them 10
headquarters. Tonight the voluntary con-
tributions amounted to less than a score of
guns, and most Of that ludicrously small
number were utmost worthless. The Indians
who had given up these eighteen or nineteen
antiquities declare they have no others, but
ample testimony can be produced which will
prove conclusively that even Ananias-who
had something Of q reputation for carelessness
OF speech-would not be Into" 70 If called
upon to compete with q russet-tin:ed savage
when that savage has been called upon 10
make affidavit as to the gun or guns he has in
his possession, but does not desire to give up.
Careful search in the hostile camp-for H. i
still largely hostile-would reveal great many
hrst-class rides, but when all Of these had bsan
secured there would still be startling dis
parity between the number of Indians who
have been on the warpath and the number Of
rides which they might fairly be supposed to
own A wood-chopping party from tho ninth
cavalry dad its best today TO mako The dis
parity less apparent by discovering q s'cache''

The commercial room of English hotels
is devoted to tAat species Of business man
whom we designate AS "drummer," ana
who in America fares with the othel
guests. John Poole, an English humor-
list of bygOne days, once strUlled into a
hotel at Brighton and ordered dinner. As
he was discussing his savory chop another
man entered took his stand by the fire
and began whistling. Finally he spoke
Fine day. Sir" said he.
Very fine answered Poole.
Business pretty brisk"

"Do anything with Jones on the paradeP'
Now it so happened that Jones was the
grocer from whom Poole occasionally
bought quarter of a pound of tea, and SO
he answered:
"a little"
Good man, sir"
Glad to hear it, sir"
'Do anything with Thompson in King
street,
"No sir"
"Shaky, sir"
"Sorry to hear it, sir. Recommend a
course of salt baths.7'
The stranger looked earnestly at Poole,
advanced to the table, and said, arms
akimbo:
''Sir, begin to think you are gentle
man."
81 hoNr so, sir" answered Poole; land
hope you are the same"
"Nothing of the kind" exclaimed the
stranger. And if you are a gentleman
what business have you here?"
He rang the bell, and when the waiter
entered exclaimed Indignantly:
"lIere'7 a gentleman Turn him out!'
Poole had unwittingly settled himself in
the commercial room of the hotel.-Youth's

Mr.. w. z. Hutchinson, well known
Michigan bee man, thus disposes of the
question of the outdoor wintering of
bees in a letter to Country Gentleman:
"If bees can enjoy frequent flights, out of
doors is the place to winter them. If
deprived of these flights temperature
of about Al dogs. enables them to bear
a much longer confinement than does a
temperature below freezing. In the
south frequent flights are assured in the
north no dependence can be placed upon
the matter. Some winters are open
or there are January thaws, allowing the
bees to enjoy cleansing flights, while
other winters hold them close prisoners
for four or five months. 1t is this ele-
ment of uncertainty attending the win
tering of bees in the open air that has
driven so many beekeepers to the adop-
ton of cellar wintering."
Mr.. Hutchinson further writes that
with good strong colony Of bees and
ventilation above the packing, where
bees are wintered out of doors, he has
never known of trouble from moisture.
He always gives abundant ventilation
above the packing. Another point spe
cially emphasized by him is in preparing
bees for winter either indoors or out, the
leaving of space below the combs.
When wintered out Of doors, there ought
to be IL rim two inches high placed under
each hive. This allows the dead bees
to drop away from the combs to place
where they will dry up instead of mold
ing between the combs. Then, if there
is an entrance above the rim, there will
be no possibility of the entrance becom-
/ ing clogged. This space under the
/ combs seems to be a wonderful aid in
bringing the bees through in fine condi-
/ ton. Weak colonies can seldom be sue
cessfully wintered out of doors. They
/ cannot generate sufficient heat. In the
cellar, where the temperature seldom
goes below No dogs, quite weak colonies
can be successfully wintered. The whole
matter of outdoor wintering of bees
might be summed up in few words:
Populous colonies, plenty of good food
and thorough protection.

Making Older.

The later that cider is made, other
things being equal, the better it will be
and the better it will keep. A good
cider apple is hard and sound, with a
rich Juice and somewhat decided acid
flavor. The sweet cider should be placed
in one or more open headed casks, as
may be required, set upright, with fau-
Gets few inches from the bottom,
through which tine cider can be racked
off Here it should stand until active
fermentation sets in, usually from two
10 three days, according TO the tempera-
ture, when heavy scum will rise to the
top. which should be skinned off. At
the same time deposit of fine pomace
will settle to the bottom below the fau-
Gets. Thus "A portion of the impurities
rises to the surface and may be SKINNED
off, while another portion is precipitated
to the bottom. The cider should be
drawn off into clean casks through the
faucets without disturbing the sedi-
ment in the bottom of the casks. 1t
should then be stored in as cool place
as possible and as tightly bunged as the
subsequent fermentation will admit
without straining the barrels enough to
cause leaking. If the strain upon the
barrels becomes excessive, a small gimlet
should be used to give them vent while
it continues.

In the earlier stages of its use vegetable
ivory was principally known in the shape
of ornaments of various kinds. if you
will remember, some years ago it was eX'
tensively handled by train men and street
fakirs, who peddled baskets full of little
trinkets made from the ivory nut. AT
present practically the whole product OF
the ivory nut goes into buttons.
One of the peculiar features of the ma
terial in relation to buttons is its suscep-
tibiity to coloring matter. 1t can be col
ored anything hat is desired by the manu-
facturers You will notice that the arts
tic tailor ma.,es use of this to great advan-
tage in his adaptation of buttons to gar
ments. In the Scotch tweed suits of light
and notified texture, or garments of any
color whatever where a solid button is
used, one in perfect harmony with the ma
terial may be selected The varieties in
shape and color are almost countless.-ln

Talk about a pawnbroker not having
any feelings" said the man as he twrled u
little pair Of shoes on his fingers, "why
chen did | let that woman have fifty cents
on her baby's shoes? | couldn't sell 'em
for ten cents. Look there and there"
He showed "A broken place in the side OF
each little red shoe that had been worn SC
long they bore the exact shape of the little
foot.
Look at these" he continued, as he
took down bundle from the shelves and
not urgently opened it, "All the clothes
her child had, all it ever will have, for it's
dead-more's the luck for it, poor thing"
"What did you let her have on the
clothes:"
"a quarter; but they are not worth it"
"Only quarter on the clothes, and fifty
cents on the worn ont shoesf Why did
you give so much for them:"
"You tell! | don't know, only that the
woman worked on my sympathy. Said
the family hadn't eaten a square meal for
month and the children were crying for
bread. So | gave her fifty cents for the
shoes. | always was just such soft heart
ed fool Yet there's folks will tell you
that pawnbrokers haven't any hearts. -

"A third block with single pulley
sometimes called a snatch block) may
be attached independently to the anchor
stump or to some other low down an
chorage. and the rope G passed under the
pulley before attaching the team. That
will bring the draft low down and give
the team much better chance to plant
their feet firmly ON the ground. By
using a long cable in place of chain to
connect the tree and block B, an anchor
age may be made at greater distance
from the tree, as circumstances may in
dictate. One and half inch rope is
what / use that | call a cable The
rapidity with which a man can take
bitches and tie knots in the rope will
largely determine the number of trees
which may be uprooted in an hour. We
