Bee stings were considered at the
Wisconsin Convention. 1t was regarded
rs an easy matter to avoid stings by
proper protection. Most apiarians try to
avoid arousing or angering bees. Bee
veals, hats and gloves are used by
many, but the quiet action of the bee
keeper and care in handling them will
enable the bees to be handled without
singing. Sometimes smoke Anglers the
bees instead of quieting them. 1t was
advised that all beginners should wear
wells until they have acquired con-
fidence and are quite fear!css.-New York

In consideration of the serious in,
roads which are being made on the
timber of this country by the use OF
wooden props in mines, it is satisfactory
to note, that patent has been taken out
for method of making steel rails into
pit props and supports for collieries,
mines, tunnels, bridges, etc. The rails
are cut at their ends and suitably framed
together. In point of cost it is said that
this mode of propping compares favor
ably with bricking and other systems.

PEAS. IN TIE GARDEN.

Il, Early peas are usually very profitable

be planted among the earliest of any

earliness every effort should be made to

IF WE COULD KNOW.

| Whittier 60 our footsteps tend?
More and more we yarn to know,
AS life's shadows longer grow,
And the evening hours descend,
And before us lies the end.
When the door shall open wido
And behind us softly close,
What to our expectant eyes
VIII the future life disclose?
Shall we sce morning break,
Fair and fragrant and serene,
Seeming like the blessed dream
OF some unforgotten eve.
Shall we walk in gladness on
Under smiling skies of blue,
Through an ever.deepening dawn.
Into wide fields, fresh and new,
Meeting those who came before,
Knowing each familiar look
And each well remembered tone.
Though so many years had flown
Since each others hands we took,
Saying farewells DER and DER.
Shall we talk of earthly days,
Speaking low, with bated breath
OF the awful mystery
OF our human life, and death;
Shall we wondef to recall,
How our hearts were prone to fear,
How we scarcely dared to hope,
In any heaven, SO fair, so near?
All! if we could only know,
AS the shadows deeper grow,
Whittier our swift footsteps tend,
AS they surely near the end.

One of the passengers on board of the
steamship Fulda, which arrived at New
York the other day, was famous Great
Dane dog, who has heretofore reioiced
in the. name Sander" but who will
hereafter be known as Imperator. His
new owner is w. E. Hagans, we'll
known dog fancier of Chicago. AS soon
as Mr.. Hagans learned that this dog
was the tallest one living, he knew that
nature had intended it for Chicago and
paid the big price demanded with cheer
full alacrity. The animal is said to come
nearer meeting the requirements of tho
perfect standard than any others of the
breed. He has taken plenty of first
prizes IN his native land, at Stuttgart,
Nuremberg, and other places, but his
most notable success was at the Interna.
tional Show held last May at Berlin.
There, although he had $50 German
mastiffs as competitors, he carried oil
four first prizes. His height is some
thing over thirty-fve inches at the
shoulder. In color he is golden fawn
with black neck. He is now three
years old. 1t could not be learned what
was paid for the animal, the owner
merely saying that it was the largest
price ever paid in America for German
mastiff. Russian dog fanciers tried to
get him, but, of course, stood no chance
when Chicago entered the lists.

TIE pn1LosopHY OF BOILING AN EGG.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF BOILING AN EGG.
The white of the egg is albumen, and
the yolk also, but containing peculiar
oil. 1t is the albumca that, heated at
l6O degrees F., coagulatcs and renders
the egg delicious. tender, and digcstibe.
But if the temperature is raised beyond
the perfectly coagulating point, the al
bumen viii dry, shrink, and become
leathery and indieestible. Large eggs
placed in boiling water will not properly
"Jellify, or coagulate the albumen of
either the white or of the yolll in three
and half minutes. Then, to secure tie
desirable degree of cooking or coagula-
ton of the albumen of the egg or of
steak, the temperature should be lust
sufficient when longer continued to per-
fectly c3ok, and not to scar and hornify
the nutritive element of food, until cook
ing impairs digestibihty rather than, as
1t should, promote it., a meal presup-
poses preparation, calculation, and fore
thought. Then why not as well apply
these to uniform, certain, and perfect
cooking of eggs. Ten minutes before
the meal hour put the eggs into a vessel
into which boiling water has previously
been poured, cover and set aside, aud
when the mea! is ready to be served the
eggs will be perfectly cooked. If some
OF the family desire their eggs harder,
two or three minutes longer will crafty
the wish, bat still the eggs will be per-
fectly digestible. Too much fuel is
wasted in spelling food that should be
made delicious and digestible, but which
too often is unnutritious, indigestible,

now TO KEEP ICE

There are three or four things that will
HEN to keep the precious nugget of ice
from melting away if the housekeeper
will only remember them. One is, that
to keep ice warm is the way to keep it
cold. a piece of ice in pitcher, with
the pail over the pitcher and rug over
the pail, will keep all night. A piece
OF ice in refrigerator, covered with
snug, white blanket, will cheat the
greedy ice man every day, and snap fancy
fingers at the milk that does not dare to
get sour, or the beefsteak that darcs not
fail. These things are admirable in their
way and should be in every Maitland.
But the greatest trick of all is news
papers. With plenty of newspapers
above, below and on every side, the way
piece of ice will keep is a joke.-Ladies'

CHINESE MERCHANTS.
They ADxi0usIy Await Supreme
Court Decision.

The Chinese Bureau maintained by the
Government in connection with the Collec-
tors Office has received information that a
decision of great interest to the Chinese will
be rendered by the United States Supreme
Court on Monday The question that will
tEen be decided is the right to land OF a
Chinese merchant returning to this country
after visit to the land of his birth and
having only papers Of Identification procured
in the city from whence he departed.
The Chinese on whose behalf the matter
is being determined lived in Salt Lake City.
When he set out for China he obtained
papers of Identification from Americans
with whom he was acquainted. When he
came back he did not bring with him GER
titieate from the Chinese Government.
which is now required by law, and Collector
Phelps refused to give him permission to
land He was released on writ of habeas
corpus issued by the Circuit Court, which,
when the case was tried, sustained the Col
lector. The case was then taken before the
new Court of Appeal, and from thence to
the United States Supreme Court, by whom
it was advanced On the calendar. The de-
csion which, it is said, will be given on
Monday is awaited with great anxiety by
the Chinese here and in the Celestial En-
Dire.
Since the Collector refused to land the
Monaghan in whose behalf the case is being
| tried Chinese coming to this country with
out certificates have been compelled to give
the Collector bond to furnish certificates
within four months. If the Supreme Court
reaffirms its decision of MAY all the Chinese
that have been landed since October 10th,
and who have given bonds to procure GER
tficates, will be sent back to China because
the Chinese Government has never issued
the certificates which they say they will
obtain and the Chinese Bureau is confident
that it never will The only hope that the
Chinese cherish is based on the phrase of the
law which provides that Chinese "about to
come" to this country must have certificates
issued by their Government. AID they hold
that the law can only apply to those who
| are about to come here for the first time.

AGAINST MOSES HOPKINS.

Iennie Smith.

He Is Made the Defendant in a Big Suit
by Jennie Smith.
a very interesting complaint was filed in
the Superior Court yesterday against Moses
Hopkins, by Jennie Smith, the widow of G.
S. Banks. who died in 1887, but afterward
parried w. A. G. Smith.
By her first husbands death she became
the owner of piece of property at Post
and Jones streets, the Berkshire Hotel,
now worth about 500, 600 Prior to his
death" Mr.. Banks, on March 2 1880, Dor
rowed s26,00 from Moses Hopkins, secur-
ing the note by transferring to him deed
to the property, with the understanding,
however, that it should be considered only
a mortgage and to be surrendered on pay
ment Of $4,000 and interest
Two years afterward, to better secure the
loan, Banks placed Hopkins in absolute
possession OF the property, surrendering to
him all the rents. profits, etc, accruing from
i. In 1886, the complaint alleges, Mr..
Banks signed over to Hopkins release of
the property on his promise that
he would pay Banks the difference between
the value Of the property aud tho
amount of the loan, S26,0OO The property
was then worth about $50, 600, and the con-
ditiOns of the release were that Mr.. Hop
kins was TO pay the difference, S24, coo. This
contract, Mrs. Smith now AYERS, was never
kept. She also says that the interest on
the S26, 900 has always been promptly paid,
and that the rents and profits OF the prop
erty which Mr. Hopkins has enjoyed for
many years, more than double the amount
Of the original loan.
She prays for judgment: First, that Hop
kins be required to deliver up to be can
celed the pretended release of 1886. Second,
that the deed of March. 1882, be declared to
be mortgage. Third, that Hopkins be re-
Quired TO render an account of all moneys
received as and for rents and profits of the
property, and of moneys paid out and ex-
pended for taxes. assessments and repairs
thereon. Fourth, that if any balance be
found due, Hopkins be directed to pay
1t over to her; and fifth, that il anything is
found due Hopkins she may have reason
able time to pay it, and to redeem the prop
erty from the mortgage.

SHOT AN EYE OUT.
Peculiar Accident to q Hunter for
Rabbits in the Park.

The tottering steps of a little man with
blood-stained face attracted the attention of
Policeman o. c. Phillips on Golden Gate
avenue, near Cough street. about o'clock
yesterday morning. Suspicious" NUT
tered the officer, as he oyerhaued the I'M
steady wanderer and took him to the new
City Hall Station. A large-sized revolver
was found in his possession anu for this he
was booked on a charge of carrying a
weapon concealed.
The prisoners face was covered with
dried blood and the left eye was swollen
and blackened. He was removed to the
City Prison Hospital later in the day and
gave the name of Francis ROmatif. An eX-
animation of his injuries by DR.. Williams
showed that bullet had entered the right
side of his head above the ear and lodged
over the eye.
Romatf said that he lived at 1913 Stock
ton street and for some time had been
working rs laborer for Williams & Ferry,
contractors, at California Heights, near
Golden Gate Park. Having no work to do
on Wednesday he took his pistol and
went out rabbit-hunting. While scramblng
through the brush he lost his balance and
fell into ravine. While rolling down the
bank the pistol went off, the bullet entering
his head. He remained at the graders
camp for day, but the wound became so
painful that he started for the hospital. and
he was on the way when arrest ted.
Detective Rogers investigated Romatifs
story and found il to be true in every de-
tail. The unfortunate man has lost the
sight Of his right eye and the wound is con-
sidered of serious nature. The INSIDE
meanor charge will probably be dismissed.
